Was out walking with my s20 fe and when I get back strange mp4 camera recordings show as recently recorded. But I never used the camera. The recording is black image with audio of a piano tune. There are several files , both mp4 &jpg. -Pete

Welcome to AC!

Where you see this in your gallery?

Yes they suddenly appeared in the recent files of samsung files app. They are stored in DCIM/Camera/. This is where photos &videos from the camera app are stored. I am unable to attach files (upload failed). There are a total of 7 files (2 jpg, 5 mp4). -Pete

Also anyone else uses your device besides you?

 

[Pete Pf]

No one touches this phone but me. Its got a pin and it is always with me. I think maybe the files could have been created by a web site I visited earlier. Thats the only thing I can think of. But I have no idea which one would do that if its possible. Their named by date, just lik a photo I took would be (20230110_172355.mp4) for example. I dont know about tapatalk, sorry. I just joined with my google account. Thanks. -Pete

Is it possible the screen was awakened while in your pocket and the Camera app accidentally opened, with a video recorded? Can you hear any background noise besides the piano, or does it sound like a professionally recorded track?

 

[Pete Pf]

Yes I agree thats possible. All the videos are short and some have a shuffling like its in my pocket. I was outside walking on a bike path, no piano was anywhere. Maybe the piano is a sound effect that can be added by the app? -Pete

Sounds like the 'Singke Take' mode in the camera app. It can take multiple pictures & short videos in a single shot. I use that setting a lot on camping trips & it does add music to the videos.
