Better Camcorder app?

[chshrkt]

Greetings Androids!

I would like to record some video and have a few basic options that are not available in the stock HTC camcorder app:

Focus lock
Exposure lock
White balance lock
Variable Frame Rates
Audio metering

The main option I am looking for is focus lock, nothing worse than having the image constantly refocus when moving to a new subject.

I don't care about apps that allow me to share my videos on social networking sites, add bunnies and flowers to the video, make it look like it was taken with an old 8mm camera, or editing the video in the phone (I can do all that in post).

Apple fanbois have a multitude of apps, the one I have seen used is FiLMiC Pro.

Anyone know of any apps with the features I listed above that can be used on a non-rooted HTC DInc2?


Thank you

Hello,

i came across the exact same problem, at school we do alot of video editing and unfortunately, i personally do not own a good video camera..That was why i was looking for an app that gives you more control over the video. I do know that android 4.0 does support focus lock and exposure lock, but in my case HTC decided not to implement this in their version of the camera app (no idea why).

For the developers, i found this link:
Camera.Parameters | Android Developers

Hopefully there will be a good camera app with support for more advanced video controls!
