Why no video recording with iphone camera

Can I not take a video with my iphone camera? My old $50 phone did. My $500 iphone can't??????

This is correct.
Was the retail price for this phone $50, or was this your subsidized price for the phone? If subsidized by the cellular provider, the full retail price wasn't $500, but it was much more than $50.
The iPhone includes a camera, so it is a matter of software required to capture video with the camera and save the video. I can only assume Apple decided not to focus development resources on software that they thought the majority of people probably don't or wouldn't use, regardless if a $50 phone is so capable. The few times I've captured video with a cell phone, it wasn't worth the effort. Mediocre quality at best, but usually poor.
With firmware update 2.0 to be released in early July, along with the iTunes App store for 3rd party software as a result of the iPhone SDK (software developers kit) released in March, it is possible a 3rd party developer will provide software for capturing video with the iPhone, and if so, it will indicate this was Apple's intent all along making it optional to those who want this feature.

  • Why my videos recorded with the camera are not saved in the video app? It is saved like a photo.

    Like the title says, why when I record a video, it is saved like a photo and not like a video. I mean that if I go in video app, I can't see my video that I just recorded, I have to search in my photos, but this is a video. I don't understand.
    Thanks

    Pictures and videos you take on the pad are saved in the camera roll. That's just where they go.  If you select it, it should show with a play button to play the video.
    If you sync it back to your computer, edit it and change it, then save it as a video, it will sync back to the pad as a video.

  • BUG: Videos recorded with Lumia Camera can't be at...

    In Lumia Camera 4.9.3.0 on my Lumia 1020 OS version 8.10.14219.341, videos recorded with the Lumia Camera software cannot be attached to MMS messages. It doesn't matter what size or length they are or wether they were recorded with the front facing or rear facing camera... they won't attach to MMS messages.
    Instead, I have to load the Microsoft Camera app record the video with that, and that will allow sharing via MMS.  It's a pretty annoying bug with Lumia Camera.
    >>I was told to post this message to the nokia forums here after it was originally posted in the Windows Phone answer forums here.<<

    Good day, adamz1977. We would like to know more about your concern. Are you getting any error message when trying to attach a video? Have you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Lumia Camera app? How are you trying to share it? Is it via Photos hub or via Messaging hub? Let's try isolating the issue. You may try updating the system apps. Go to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. If you haven't checked if there's an available update for your phone, here's how: Software Update for Lumia with Windows Phone 8. We look forward to your reply. 

  • Video recorded with iPhone 4, won't sync with iPad

    I have the iPhone 4 and have recorded lots of video of my baby and I also have an ipad (boy was mommy mad at the purchase amounts . Anyway, I sync my iPhone with my macbookpro and see the videos and photos in iPhoto. I then create an event (with videos and photos made with iPhone 4)and then check the box under photos in iTunes to sync with my iPad.
    I don't see my videos on the iPad with my photos. Is this a possible thing even? I am using 3 apple devices to share all photos and video to each and the photos appear on the iPad just not the videos made with the iPhone 4. Is the Photos App on the iPad capable of playing videos in itself?
    Any suggestions would be fine. I'm sure I will have answers that will suggest that I have a wrong format for trasferring but I haven't changed anything about the quality or way the iPhone records. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks red555, much appreciated. I guess going from an iPhone 3G, skipping the 3GS, I notice that the videos are clumped up with photos in that app on the 4g. I figured the iPad could do the same.
    Just wished that I could go through the ipad's photo app just like I would on the phone. Built by the same company, claiming the name change of iPhone os to ios because they are all the same, but lacking common features.
    What I want to know, in addition to the answer red555 gave me is, will the photo app in the iPad ever display the videos also or is there no plan of it due to apple restricting the photos app to hold only 16gigs. I believe people say it's due to indexing, but videos are just large files. Would hold less index if videos took up most of the space. I got an iPad for the screen size. Nice to hand off my iPad for grandma to see, rather than my phone, so she has to find her glasses to see videos
    I like this way. Can anyone add more options since apple doesn't have tutorials for this but they have them for other useful procedures? Thanks for reading my post over.

  • Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

    Sorry,
    I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
    Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks,
    I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??

  • Video recorded with external iSight has green dot in it.

    Anybody have any idea why any video recorded by my external iSight has a green dot in it. Almost seems like the power light is somehow being reflected into the housing.

    That's not very good news at all. If that's the problem I'm sure it has a lot to do with how hot it gets. I've even noticed it gets really warm and it hadn't been turned on in weeks. Just being plugged in made it hot.

  • I can not synchronize the videos taken with my camera from my PC to IPad

    Hello everybody, I have a problem, I can not synchronize the videos taken with my camera from my PC to IPad (sorry, in my last question I put iPhone but is iPad )

    Are they in a compatible format ? The iPad natively supports (from here)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    If your camera's videos aren't in any of those formats then you will either need to find a third-party app that doesor a PC program that can convert them prior to syncing. If you can get them into your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library but they don't sync, then have you tried Advanced > Create iPad Version and then syncing those versions ?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

    I have a video made with two cameras, in two tracks. Sometimes only one camera is running (because they both turn off at certain clip lengths). I'm trying to cut them together using the multicamera window, but I get no audio from track 2. How can I get audio from track 2. (My kludge is to cut the original audio from track 2 and move it into track 1.)

    Good Grief!  Now that I know the answer, I can find it all over the place.  But before, I got so many google references that just told me it couldn't be done!  That made me think the answer must be obscure -- when it was really simple, and should have been obvious to me.
    The lesson seems to be: do more work looking around the panels and menus of the program itself before trying to look in "help" or "google".
    Thanks, again, Jerry, for your consideration.

  • No Audio on Videos Recorded with OS 2

    Hello After a few days with the version 2 I just realized that when I transfer the videos  I recorded with my PB to my MAC, the videos dosen´t have audio.
     All the videos recorded with the OLD PB version does have audio.
    I have PB 2.0.0.7971 and Mac OSX 10.7.3
    Thank you.
    PS. All videos work great on PB.

    No, I imported by two different ways:
    1.- Direct from PB as USB.
    2.- Importing media from BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    In both cases same result no audio in videos recorded with PB 2.0

  • Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

    Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?

    Go into the Activity Monitor and Quit or Force Quit the Acrobat process.

  • Audio low on playback from video recording on iphone 5S

    I went to a concert last night and recorded a few performances on my phone using the video option on the camera.  When I played back the video, the sound was extremely low.  The volume was at the highest while recording.  Does anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to install another video recording app with better sound.  Help!

  • No video signal with docu cam and projector

    School teacher's Thinkpad connected to avervision document camera, and document camera to an overhead projector.   Image throught the projector of what's under the document camera is fine.  When we want to project what's on the computer screen (movie, etc.), and switch to "computer" on the document camera, the laptop screen goes black, but the projection is visible through the projector.  Is there an FN fix or some other way to fix this?

    Yes, its an HD sequence, I want to view it in component but I'm using a SDI-Monitor also (which strangely gets an audio signal, but still no video)
    I can't find anything like that in the 'Select output processing'-box, even after updating to 9.7.8 (released on Friday)...
    It doesn't make any sense to me. Why would it work with AE and BM Media Express but not with Premiere CC?
    My BM Decklink is not the newest model, but I don't think thats the problem.
    It still seems to be supported by the software and it works with AE.
    I'm going to change my graphic card from GTX 780 to NVIDIA quadro, lets see whether that will get me the result I'm hoping for, but tbh I'm giving up...
