I'm using a app before this but it stopped working because it was outdated but glad I found this it has sone little difference as the previous one that I use the difference is the contrast of video is bright like the actual camera and the video was hidden from the gallery and this one it the video contrast darken the video saves in gallery I don't know if this is for all user or depends on the phone itself but still fire it was perfect for filming some screen like TV.

Dear PK Tyagi, New version is available in the beta version (1.3.57). please use the new preview mode to set auto-focus for recording or snapshotting. send me an email if the problem consists. By the way - if you have bought the premium license - you can always ask me for refund - just send me an email. Arbel
