Another useful feature available in the Camera app called recording mode also will help you to get the best result when recording a video. There are some recording modes available that you can choose which one that best suit your need.

How to change recording mode in the Camera app?
Below are the steps to do so:

1. Open the Camera app.
2. Tap to view more options.
3. Tap to change the recording mode. By default, the Camera app uses the normal mode as its recording mode. Here you'll see 4 options available:
• Normal : Select this option if you want to record the video with normal quality.
• Limit for MMS : Select this option if you want to lower the quality of the video to allow you send the video via messaging. This mode will limit the video up to 295K.
• Slow motion : Select this option when you want to record a video of a moving object and want the device plays the video in slow motion. If you select this option you can adjust the slow motion value by tapping and then select from the following options: x1/2, x1/4, x1/8. For instance, if you choose x1/2 then the device will play the video two times slower than the actual.
• Fast motion : Select this option when you want to record a video of a moving object and want the device plays the video in fast motion. If you select this option you can adjust the fast motion value by tapping and then select from the following options: x2, x4, x8. For instance, if you choose x2 then the device will play the video two times faster than the actual.
4. Select the desired recording mode you want to use.
5. Tap to start recording.

FYI, you're only able to use the feature to take pictures whilst recording the video while you're in the normal mode and you're only able to use the feature to zoom in/out and pause/resume the video in the normal mode and limit for MMS mode. While if you're in the slow motion and fast motion mode, you're only provided the option to stop recording the video.
