This post has some examples of skipped frames and poor quality in the S6 slow motion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/slow-motion-video-s6-disappointing-t3123055/

Yes, in your case, the quality does not seem to be the best but the way, the Slow Motion Videos are actually recorded, is correct on the Galaxy S6.

  • Sensor Reading Speed = Framerate of Output Video File = 120 fps.
  • Time between Starting and Stopping Recording = Length of Output File Video
  • Audio Recording: The Sound is recorded from the Microphone and is also included in the Audio of the Output File
The S6 is Samsungs first Phone, which does record Slow Motion this way, but it's also the first phone, which disappointed all Samsung-Appreciaters.

Well, maybe your camera glass is not clean. In the german Tech-Shop Saturn and the tech-store Conrad, i tested the devices. The quality of the S5 Slow Motion and the S6 SlMo is pretty much the same, but the S6 records them with a better method. Be glad of that :)

Suggestions for Recording better slow motion

Hello guys, I am making some crash tests and need to record them in slow mo. I am using a awful 1000 fps camera and iphone 240 fps. I have no big budget but you may have some idea to upgrade my slow motion quality.

When you type "Hammer Crash test! Will it Survive? Slow motion record", you can watch example videos under the consido channel.

Thanks

    Hello, everyone‼:laugh:
    Thank you for reading this.

    Almost any phone of today has a Slow-Motion / High-Framerate feature.
    Well, i've got nothing agianst it but there's something about it that truly sucks.

    Here's my old thread about this.

    The Bad method:
    • You Record: 00H:00M:10s@240fps (Resolution doesn't matter)
    • You get a Video with 80 Seconds @ 30fps
    • ...and Muted Audio ♫♪
    • So that ►x1.0 isn't realtime!

    Well, the iPhones record in realtime, but they can only record for 20 Seconds (real time equilevant)

    With the iPhone 5S camera software, you can edit your video to active slowmotion or not on the timeline ... how to do this with the Note 3?

    Yes, you're right!

    ...but the Smartphones which use the sucking method of taking Slow-Motion Videos encode the output file being Slown Down.

    The one and only advantage
    of this method, is for Media-Players which haven't got a Fast/Slow motion playback mode so that ►x1.0 makes the Slow Motion Effect Visible.


    But i'd like to have x1.0 is Realtime-Equivalent!


    So the Correct way in my opinion [IMO] is this:
    • If you Record 00:00:10@240fps
    • The Output File must be also 00:00:10 encoded at 204FPS and with ♪♫ Audio from ALL Microphones of the Phone!

    Also some other Devices use the WRONG Method:
    • Lumix FƵ1000 - Great Camera but Slow Motion Feature uses WRONG WAY.
    • Canon IXUS 255 HS

    But those Devices use a Good Method!
    • Sony RX100/3
    • Canon Powershot 510HS and 50HS
    • Sony FDR-AX100
    • Samsung NX1 (i think)


    Example Videos ? :

    Good
    • Only 720p BUT
    • XAVCS
    • And Audio
    • And Realtime

    BAD

    • 1080p but...
    • No XAVCS
    • Not Realtime
    • Muted Audio
    • Sucks


    All Example Videos are taken by DKamera.dé!



    Feel free posting your opinion! :laugh:
    All the best Have a good and nice day :cowboy::);) ...:)

    The quality of the S5 Slow Motion and the S6 SlMo is pretty much the same

    Did you see my post with examples of S6 slomo with skipped frames? I never experienced that with my S5. Nothing to do with the lens. It has to do with the software.
