Camera focus issues

[dubby]

Hey everyone, does any of you experience focus issues with the xperia z3c while shooting timelapse videos??? I have come across focus issues with my z3c, which causes the rendered timelapse to have a shaky or jittery effect which is really bad. I have never experienced this problem with my old xperia zr, and so i am really disappointed with this z3c in this aspect. Below is a YouTube link which shows what i am trying to emphasize. In the clip you can see the video looks very shaky and jittery because the camera is not focused properly when the photos were taken. Is this a hardware problem or can it be fixed with a software update? https://youtu.be/z9nuOWMvh8w

@dubby

You are referring to "Timeshift video" correct?

@dubby

I was not able to recreate your issue, does your phone has a protective film and/or case?

[dubby]

No not timeshift, i ment timelapse. My phone only has a bumper case with nothing blocking the camera lens. A timelapse is created by taking alot of photos in a time interval of lets say 5 seconds between shots, and then a video is rendered from the photos giving you fast scene movements. Its like speeding up a video clip. In sony's native camera app it can be downloaded as 'sukros timelapse app'

@dubby

so the issue it's not with Sony's camera but a third party camera?

@dubby

is this the app?

if it is, you will have to contact the app developer, Sukros, regarding this issue.

Yes maybe the problem here is with the app. However i have used at least 2 other apps (camera fv-5) and timelapse pro which have both worked fine on my old xperia zr, but they both also display focus issues on my z3c

Sorry not timelapse pro, its lapse it pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ui.LapseItPro&hl=en and camera fv-5 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en both of which are paid apps

You should contact the app developers
