Stock Camera App Crops Video? Google Camera is wider widescreen.



Has anyone else noticed the following:

Take a 1080p video with the stock Moto camera app.


Then take one with the Google Camera app.

The Google Camera video is a wider wide-screen on mine, and I can't seem to find any setting that will make the Moto camera match it. Actually I've tried Open Camera too and it also crops like the Moto.

It looks like in the Google app, all it does is crop the 21 MP still image to 16:9 and records that at 1080p. But in the other apps, they crop out a bit from the middle too.


Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I generally prefer the Google Camera, except it won't record to SD card and it won't record longer than 4 GB so I've been shopping for a new app (Open Camera works well, but isn't as wide screen!)
