This top-of-the-line phone has impressive video features, including advanced stabilization and a super-wide camera with superior lowlight abilities.
A few quick tips for shooting with this phone:
- Use default camera app, default video mode for most situations
- Shoot 4k30p, then in editing slow to 80%. This gives you cinematic 24p with a slight slow motion effect
- Lock focus/wb/exposure before shooting by long-pressing the screen, then adjust brightness ny dragging down a bit to preserve highlights.
- Lowering your exposure will also enhance stabilization. Side note: stabilization is best in default video mode, not Movie or Night mode
- At night, lock exposure and drag down to preserve highlights. Avoid Night mode as it reduces resolution and stabilization quality.
- Try out the HDR mode. It seems to work well, I just didn't have time to fully explore it
