Are you the type of person who likes to take videos of everything under the sun? You don't need to have a video camera to record videos if you have a Samsung Skyrocket. With the smart phone's excellent camcorder features and compatible video apps, you can capture moments anytime.
Shooting a video with your cellphone is easy as going to your phone's menu, searching for the camera application and launching it. Check to see if it is set to video mode so that you won't accidentally take a picture instead of a video. The button for video mode can be found at the right upper corner of the LCD screen. You can choose whichever of the two Samsung Skyrocket cameras, the two megapixel camera in front or the five megapixel camera at the back, to use for capturing.
Before you start, you should first contemplate on the quality of the video you would like to take. High definition videos look amazing when played back but will take up a lot of space in your gadget's memory, so be sure that you have enough. Videos of lesser quality are less harsh on your phone memory and are perfect if you are planning to send or share them through MMS or email. Camera applications usually come equipped with tools that will automatically adjust lighting conditions. But you also have the option to manually set the lighting to flash or no flash or even adjust the capture settings to different scene modes like Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Night, Night Portrait, Fireworks and Sports.
You can also customize your ISO, color effects and white balance. Typically, the white balance of camera phones is pre-configured to suit most lighting situations. But if you are after high quality results, it is best that you set the white balance manually. After you have changed all the settings to the way you want them to be, just tap the red record button to start recording. When you are finished capturing, just tap on the same button to pause or stop. Your snart phone then automatically saves it to its device storage.
This phone comes with video playback ability so you can play your videos right after you recorded it. You can also view them later on by simply going to your galleries and search for the video you want to see. If you want to edit your videos, you can use the built-in Movie Studio app that comes with all smart phones.
Playback ability also means that you can watch video files and movies on your device. You can download apps like Netflix that offer mobile streaming on this mobile phone. They have a long catalogue of tittles for you to choose from in exchange for a subscription fee. You can also just copy movies to your phone if you don't like to pay for subscription. A program called DVD Catalyst takes DVDs and converts it to video content compatible to phones like this new Samsung phone.
Making and watching videos on your mobile phone would mean its constant use. To ensure that your smart phone stays protected from damage, you should purchase Samsung Skyrocket accessories such as the Samsung Skyrocket case so that your device is fully protected when you use it. You should also consider buying a reflective Samsung Skyrocket screen protector to keep the suns glare away from your screen while you work on videos.
