question about the HD video recording: can you tap a portion of something on the screen to manually focus?

[Brik182]

@noc215 nope it doesn't... I'm not sure if that's hardware or if that can be added to the camera app with an update.

[noc215]

@Brik182 ouch... sometimes I wonder why some features are missing on these high end phones, such as camera flash. it's like samsung doesn't intend on competing with the iphone4 with the captivate. nevertheless, i placed an order on the captivate and should be getting it soon

@noc215 the missing features aren't dealbreakers... I like it so far and glad I'm out of Apple's grasp. LOL (former iPhone owner)

dood, whats up w the sound? it sucks w all the crackle-iness and such...

[Brik182]

@rajmeisteroni According to the file properties:

Audio Bit rate: 61kbps

Channels: 1 (mono)

Sample Rate: 16 kHz

Couple that with the microphone being very, very sensitive and my hand cupping the mic end of the phone.

this vid just made me think of something... with the huge rising popularity of smartphones with the HD quality camcorders, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing more than a few people recording their own car accidents. not a prediction and i'm not saying you weren't paying attention to the road but I wouldn't be surprised to see more than one POV traffic accident caught on a smartphone.

btw, I should be getting mine (Fascinate) within the week.
