Take It Off Immediately: Record 4K Video On Lumia's Flagship

    No sooner had consumers got used to the fact that the standard 4K video became the norm for consumer camcorders and cameras, as it already (which, incidentally, naturally) continued to spread further to mobile devices. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 chipset (which mastered the new resolution) and, of course, new camera modules became powerful locomotives for the development of new shooting technology on smartphones.



    In our blog, we have repeatedly mentioned that with the Lumia Denim update, our flagship Lumia 930 and 1520 smartphones were able to shoot in this format with Lumia Rich Recording sound recording technology. But now we thought that it is probably better to give you the opportunity to see once than to hear a hundred times what mobile 4K video is. So get comfortable.

    Again, the videos below are shot on Lumia devices in 2160p format. Therefore, for optimal playback quality, we recommend that you first connect good headphones to the computer and do not forget to set the quality parameters to the maximum for each video.

    Let's start with the landscapes. You can now add videos to your holiday photos taken on Lumia with a calm soul. You can verify this by simply looking at how fully the next 4K movie conveys the sunset atmosphere on the coast. By the way, it was shot on Lumia Icon (an American analogue of Lumia 930) by Robert Millard.



    Another video (more familiar to our latitudes) takes us from a bright summer day to a winter fairy tale.



    The user record under the pseudonym JacobW, captured on the Lumia 930, is rich not only in a vivid picture, but also in sound. Listen, for example, to how clearly the crunch of snow under your feet is conveyed.

    And with this video from Lumia 930 Oli Rehachek we get to Prague Charles Bridge. It clearly demonstrates that you can free your luggage from a video camera on a tourist trip.



    We turn to the concert video. For example, a video recorded by Mariano Ariel Martinez on the Lumia 1520 in very poor lighting conditions.



    Another concert video, but with a well-lit stage and with an orchestra. The combination of guitar and classical stringed instruments is perfectly recorded on the Lumia 930 and uploaded to the network by our colleagues, Mobiletelefon.ru portal



    Rich recording



    And finally, we can not say a couple about the sound. This video was recorded by Antti Kangasao, a senior specialist in sound conversion systems at Microsoft. Behind the drum kit is Rolf Pilve of the metal band Stratovarius.



    We think you will agree that the sound recording quality on the Lumia 930 can be called impressive. The capture of even minor details is the merit of four omnidirectional microphones, which make it possible to achieve the “surround sound” format even on mobile video.

    Like professional voice recorders, when recording an audio track, Lumia optimally distributes sound between the foreground and the back “scene”. In addition, intelligent algorithms can achieve greater realism and provide the ability to record louder sounds than before, with less distortion during playback.
