vivo X200 Ultra & MotionCam Full Sensor (4080x3072) Over-sampling to 4K [RAW Vlog July 23-31, 2025]

I continue to record my unchanging daily life with beautiful RAW video.
Thank you for always watching.

Starting with this video, I've changed MotionCam's audio settings from "Camcorder" to "Unprocessed". With the previous "Camcorder" setting, intermittent noise (a crackling sound) often occurred, and it felt like automatic gain adjustment and noise reduction were being applied depending on the environment.
I believe these issues have been resolved with "Unprocessed". However, "Unprocessed" records extremely low volume, so I needed to significantly boost the audio in DaVinci Resolve. White noise starts to become noticeable then, but overall, I've judged the audio quality to be clearer than with "Camcorder". Frankly, the current microphone quality (S/N ratio, etc.) of the vivo X200 Ultra does not seem to be as good as expected.

Also, in some scenes, I used the ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Converter in this video.

===== Filming & Workflow Details =====


This video was shot using the Vivo X200 Ultra and the professional camera app, MotionCam Pro V4.

I captured RAW footage with the full sensor (4080x3072) and then downscaled it to the common 3840x2160 4K resolution in DaVinci Resolve.

This oversampling workflow not only helps to further enhance the video's perceived resolution but also allows for cropping with minimal quality degradation when using DaVinci Resolve's built-in stabilizer.

Among the methods I've tried so far, I believe this might be the best smartphone video workflow currently available.

All three cameras of the Vivo X200 Ultra (14mm, 35mm, 85mm) are recognized and fully usable with MotionCam Pro V4. Their respective camera specifications are as follows:

〇 14mm (Ultrawide)
Sensor: 50MP LYT-818
Sensor Size: 1/1.28-inch (1.22μm pixel size)
Lens: f/2.0
Stabilization: CIPA 5.0 level Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)

〇 35mm (Wide)
Sensor: 50MP LYT-818
Sensor Size: 1/1.28-inch (1.22μm pixel size)
Lens: f/1.69
Stabilization: CIPA 5.0 level Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)

〇 85mm (Telephoto)
Sensor: 200MP ISOCELL HP9
Sensor Size: 1/1.4-inch (0.56μm pixel size)
Lens: f/2.27
Stabilization: CIPA 5.0 level Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)

These three amazing cameras all fit in your pocket, and RAW shooting is possible with MotionCam Pro V4. You won't find a cinema camera this thin and light anywhere else.

Furthermore, MotionCam Pro V4's OIS settings also function without issue, so even without using an external gimbal, optical image stabilization is provided to a certain extent. I truly believe this is the world's smallest and best cinema camera.
