Movie Record Settings Reset continuously to default

[AzimB]

In the phone camera, the video recording settings I change do not stay when I switch apps. I changed the photo and focus settings and whenever I switch apps or exit the settings remain. But this does not happen in the video recording app. I change settings to single focus and steady shot off but whenever I leave the video app and return it goes back to default face focus and steady shot on.

This occurs on my Sony Z5 Premium.

Hi @AzimB,

Welcome to the community.

Try resetting the Camera app by going to Settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear data > Force stop.

Thanks but that did not resolve the issue. Photos keep my settings but video keeps reverting back to face detection and steady shot

@AzimB, can you try it in safe mode to see if it's a third party application interferring with it?

[AzimB]

That didn't help with the issue either. video recording is the only app that doesn't save my setting preferences.

@AzimB,

Double check that your device is completely up to date, and failing that you might have to run a software repair.

My Z5 is up to date with the latest software and builds.... issue persists.  It's very annoying to have to keep changing the focus mode and steadyshot whenever I want to record something.

@AzimB,

Try running the software repair, let me know how you get on.

I ran software repair... did not resolve the issue.
