Thread: I want to hold Android phone upright but shoot video in landscape.Is there an app ??

I have a Moto G 4 Android 7 phone
And have decided to learn to shoot video with it .
So I should be filming in landscape orientation?
but I like holding it the other way

Is there an app that lets me shoot in landscape orientation whichever way I hold the camera phone ie even when I hold it upright ?????

Obvious question: Why?

Get a selfie stick.

^ Yup, it's called 'iphone' homie...

^ Blue doesnt like the gay shit

heu, is there a trick question here ?

"While you can force any application into any orientation, not all applications will work correctly in all orientations".

What's the betting the camera is one of them.

Blue, have you tried a different Camera app?

The camera light sensor is rectangular and has a physical orientation inside the phone body.

If there were such an app (which I doubt there is) you would only be using about half of the sensor.

as I said i like holding it portrait
i shot one in landscape and played it back on my pc
it was upside fucking down
I guess i could put a arrow sticker or something on the camera,
similar thing works for my shoes, most of the time...

Press 'EDIT' and rotate 180 degrees.

Then press 'SAVE'

You could always turn your monitor upside down too.

Horizon Camera is the app you need Blue to covertly capture guys in the cowboy position

For Mandroid-

If a camera app gave you a landscape picture from the sensor while you were holding the sensor (i.e. the phone) vertically then it could only do it by cropping the pixels so you would lose probably more than half the resolution.

Just hold the f'ing phone horizontal dickhead. Cheesh

You dick.

The image resolution doesn't change, it just gets reversed, e.g. a 3000 x 2000 image becomes 2000 x 3000.

If you crop it of course it becomes smaller.

This resolution lark is hard to understand..

So Looper is saying, as the camera's physical sensor is fixed,
and when held in portrait position, any specialist app can only switch to a landscape shape , by cutting a landscape shape out of the portrait shape.
ok , but does it lose resolution ?
from wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_...xel_resolution



To me the first photo is low resolution, the 2nd high resolution.
if you cut a landscape shaped rectangle out of the second image, say just the ugly bastards eyes, wouldn't the resolution be the same, albeit on a smaller image ?

Thanks for the help and kind remarks.

looks like I'm just going to have to learn to hold the camera in unsteady landscape orientation.
No I'm not training to be an up-skirt director.
But I am going to make a fortune from Youtube.

I'll be sat, say in a bar, and a 36 man (and woman) brawl breaks out
I will film it all, upload it to YouTube , monetize it , get 54,000,000 views and spend the winter feeding parrots on the beach in Coata Rica.

If I accidentally filmed it in portrait mode , I'd be too embarrassed to upload it.

I think the shape of the lense is determining the size of the pics, hence it's the position of the handphone that matters, nothing else

the portrait position has the same size as the landscape, hence it's the position of the handphone that determines the way it is taken

quite simple really,

All this 'cuz Blue's got tiny orange cunto hands...

Yes.

It is called sensor cropping and some cameras do it to allow a change in aspect ratio. 4:3 16:9 etc.

Not rocket science really.

...unless you are harry!

Ummm... that would be a yes.

It doesn't lose image resolution, even if you crop it numbnuts.

You get the same image resolution whether you shoot in landscape or portrait.

Only the image size changes if you crop it.

Duh.

Stop fucking googling if you don't understand what it means.
