IPhone 4S viewfinder in video mode

I really like that you can send live video using the HDMI adapter from the iPhone 4S to a TV connected by HDMI, but I want to be able to do this without the UI elements showing up on the external screen. In other words, I want to be able to send live video to a TV and have it look just like recorded video, namely only the video and not the red button, etc.
There doesn't seem to be any way to do this under iOS 5 so I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that allows for this? Or maybe there is a way to do it under iOS 5 and I just don't know how to?

Your message give me great hope for my own related wish. Video Mirroring of the iPhone 4S screen is an awesome possibility to improve the experience of recording a sports event such as an hour long hockey game. There are a number of battery powered camera top displays in the size range of 7" to 10" that take HDMI input , such as the Lilliput 7-inch LCD monitor with HDMI input for $165 on Amazon. Does the iPhone 4S Camera app support video streaming so that a decent sized view finder could be used as an external, larger viewfinder while the video camera is in use, or do I have to use an iPad 2, or, better yet, the iPad 3 when ever it is released? Did you use the Apple HDMI output adapter or a third part adapter? The support threads about the Apple HDMI adapter have a huge, longstanding community of folks who, for one reason or another have failed to make it work.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2783300?start=15&tstart=0
Is there now, with perhaps a better hardware version that does not fall out at the least provocation, or new software such as iOS 5.01 make HDMI streaming a reasonable expectation?

IPhone 4 zooms in by default in video mode?

Hi.
I received my iPhone 4 a few days ago, and am very happy with it, but, I noticed when I switch from the still camera mode to the video mode, it zooms in slightly?
Does anyone know why this is and how you can stop it doing this?
cheers!

The iPhone screen is not true 16.9 aspect ratio. However, the HD video camera does shoot at this aspect ratio (as did the 3GS, I believe). As a result, when you view a video on the iphone screen that is shot at 16.9 you will see small black bands across the top and bottom if the video isn't "zoomed" in. My guess (and that's all it is) is that Apple decided to have the video display at the full screen mode ("zoomed in") instead of showing black bands across the top and bottom ofthe screen when recording video. I'm not aware of any setting in the current OS that allows you to configure this in a different way, but I agree that it would be a nice addition.

IPhone 4 Video Mode image is larger than camera mode. Normal or Bad?

Hey there, im using an iphone 4 White. I start to browse through my device.
But something caught my eyes. Which is the video Mode.
So this how it goes, when i view my device in camera mode everything is normal.
But i switch to video mode, the image became large. Its like the device automatically zoom in..
Becaus of this, each time im taking a video, i need to take a step back..
So what im asking now is, is there any chances that it can be fix... For what i know, when im using my iphone 3gs everything works fine.
So Do help me find a solution to my curiousity.. Thank You.

I'll try to give you an explanation; I hope it's clear.
When taking a photo the iphone uses the full camera sensor (2592 pixels by 1936 pixels).
Which gets the full wide view of the lens.
In order to record video the iphone appears to only use the middle of the sensor to record (1280 pixels by 720 pixels); and it ignores the pixels around it.
Which then cuts down the field of view by almost half; and that looks like it has zoomed in.
Have a look at my diagram, red is the photo mode, blue is video mode:
This is a limitation of the hardware, as it might not get faster data from the sensor to allow the camera to shoot higher resolution, or a wider field of view.
It actually allows the iphone camera to not have as apparent aliasing issues, but certainly lowers the field of view.
Other cameras can "skip" lines to record video.
This allows for much wider field of view, but it does introduce pronounced aliasing issues (as information is "lost" inbetween the lines).
So this probably won't be fixed in the iPhone 4; although video was "added" to the older iphones by developers, it isn't likely to be that easy on the iphone4.
But you will probably hear of a higher pixel count camera in the iPhone 5, and it will possibly be able to take higher resolution video; but in a similar way it will probably only use part of the sensor.
I hope this makes sense?

Video exposure not working in all 3 video modes new iphone 6 Plus ios 8.1

Bug 1. In video mode, exposure does not automatically brighten in darkly lit areas - then when you touch the screen to focus and try and use the sun slider for upping or lowering the exposure, you have to swipe it many, many times to go a short distance, then IT ONLY WORKS TO DARKEN THE EXPOSURE, IT DOES NOT LIGHTEN IT IN ALL 3 VIDEO MODES. It works fine in Photo mode. Go to this video at :54 to see it working properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tehcNa3ecs4#t=75
Bug 2: Slo-Motion videos will play back on computers in slow motion ONLY if the base frame rate is set to 60 fps and the Slo-mo speed is set to 240fps. With any other settings the computer (both win and mac) play the video back at full speed.
Especially with bug 1, can any of you check your phone to see if sliding your finger up will brighten the image while in any of the 3 video modes?

Hi,
I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

Iphone 5 small purple spot when using back camera, not showing in video mode

Hi all,
Had taken some pictures this week in the street and wasn't noticing anything major. Tonight I needed to take some pictures here at home and I noticed on one picture a smallish weird spot. Went back to the place I took it to make sure it wasn't there (on the floor) but it wasn't.
I then proceeded with using the camera and I can see the spot stays there wherever I move with it. When I zoom, the spot zooms away with it making it possible for a clear picture. When I put the video mode on, there's no spot whatsoever. When I use the front camera, there is no spot as well.
As it doesn't show up in video mode, I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the lens but maybe more software/hardware or iOS related, or am I wrong?
Is there anything to be done about this? From what I found online people said to turn off the phone and back on, tried it to no avail.
Can always take it back to the shop but I'm assuming this will make it be sent back to apple repair centers etc. so it might take a while to get it back for a relatively simple issue, nothing that can be done any other way?

I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar. In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken. However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something. Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

Iphone 5S low light video recording is very dark :(

Hello Friends,
I bought a new iphone 5S and its few days only since i have been using this phone
and i never tested video camera before.
recently i came to know while taking some video in a low light situation, i noticed that the video is **** dark and
it looks pathetic though in image mode the camera appeares to be good and its clearly brighter.
but when i switch to video mode it becomes very darker.
I did some comparison just to confirm my suspicion and in fact it turns out that videos are worse quality than videos that i shot with my iphone 4S, i tried all possible settings but nothing worked,
i did restore my phone twice by assuming it is a software issue however i still believe it might be a software issue because when i am using 3rd party app to take video everything is perfect. even if i am using the same camera feature through imessage/whatsapp by directly accessing camera it works fine.
i don't know what exactly the problem is
please friends help me....if anyone has faced the similar problem.
Thank you

Hello there, ankitnavgwal.
Good job on troubleshooting your issue so far. The following Knowledge Base article offers a great checkllist of practical steps for troubleshooting issues with iOS not functioning as expected:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Zoom while in video mode.?

did they take out this feature?
i remember before seeing peoples videos online of them zooming while recording a video. and im pretty sure i have at one time when i first got my iphone.
can anyone tell me how to zoom while recording video or if they took it out? becouse im stuckkkk

You can't. Zoom is not available in video mode. What you saw on online was either a third-party app from the app store or a jailbroken phone.

Video mode on camera app keeps disappearing

Hi,
I'm owner of iPhone 5c and unfortunately I have experienced some issues with my camera app on iOS 7.0.3.
Basically video mode keeps disappearing and the only way to get it back,is to restart the device.
Anyone else experienced such issues?
Please let me know if this is bug or hardware issue?!
Thanks in advance

What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, and if needed restore as a new device. You have tried restart, since that is what you do when you turn the device on and off. A reset is done by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Restores are done via iTunes. If you have to do the reset more than once, then I would suspect a software issue and I would try the restore. If after a restore as new, the camera still malfunctions, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple store to have the device looked at.

Anyone know how to use a zoom in video mode for 4S?

HT201365 Having uploaded iOS 7 I now cannot use my camera in video mode....any suggestions please?

Any suggestions gratefully received. I now have ios7 on my iPad 2 but cannot use video mode when using the camera.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430Hello Grant1972,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would suggest a couple things here.
First, close all the apps that are open:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then restart your iPhone and try again.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not fix the issue, reset the phone and try again
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the issue still persists, then I would backup and restore the phone in iTunes.

Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

Can't get iPhone 4s out of recovery mode and always get error 40 during restore

I tried updating to ios 6.1.2 and I left it for a while since I had to do some stuff. When I came back, my iPhone is in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore using itunes. I always get error 40. I tried restoring on a different pc but it's still a no go. Is it possible that this has something to do with the hardware? I've already looked up possible solutions but my iphone's still in recovery mode. I never had this phone opened nor did I attempt to jailbreak it or anything. I tried asking my carrier for assistance but they're charging me for repairs. The fee's pretty expensive.

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
Otherwise, try a hard reset as well. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

IPhone 3gs stuck in recovery mode, firmware iO 5

My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode. I have a 3gs, firmware 5.0.
Before I tried to restore it, my iPhone would randomly shut off, turn back on, and display a notification that said "Activation Required." Now, sometimes my phone would shut off again and return to it's previous working state. However, this time it did not. I put the phone into recovery mode and tried restoring it on my Acer Aspire 1 with Windows 7. iTunes put the phone through the various stages of restoration; Extracting Software, Preparing iPhone for Restore, Restoring Software, Verifying Restore, Restoring Firmware. After all of this, a nice little error message pops up that reads, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (1)."
After this little mishap occured four more times, I decided to click "More Information," and was promptly brought to the help page set up here. I proceeded to troubleshoot by updating to the latest version of iTunes, updating my security, restarting my computer, and so forth until all the necessary precautions were performed. Now it was back to iTunes to try my luck at getting my life back.
To my delight, I found that this time the restoration process took upwards of forty minutes to complete. However, to my despair, a nice little error message popped up that read, "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (-1)." Ah, a different error message! i thought, feeling as if there was hope in fixing my phone. I clicked "More Information" and skimmed through the specific error messages, looking for that lucky -1. Nothing.
I need help. I have attempted to restore my phone a dozen times since this occurence, and I'm growing tired of going through the same process over and over and getting the same result. My phone is stuck in recovery mode now. I've tried restoring the phone on 2 different computers, to find out if, in fact, the problem was my iPhone and not my computer.
Some important information you may need to know in order to help me solve my problem:
iPhone 3gs
Running iOS 5.0
Using iTunes 10.5
On an Acer Aspire One Netbook
Running Windows 7
All security updates installed as of November 7, 2011
Also iTunes 10.5 on Acer Aspire 57354774 laptop
Running Windows 7
Reply ASAP with a solution please!

Hello,
I have an iPhone 3GS which I updated with the last firmware (iOS 5) 2 weeks ago. Everything goes ok.
And suddenly, while the phone was recharching. It asked me to activate it but I was unable to do it as it was rebooting constantly every time I connected it to iTunes.
I tried both 2 restore modes (Restore and DFU) but since I can't achieve a restore with the last Apple iOS 5 firmware. I got the error code 1.
I I tried on 3 different computers but same error. I really don't know what to do next...
I already called Apple Customer Care and I'm still waiting for an answer. I let you know.
And you, did you manage to get your iPhone back alive ?
