Hello,
How can I make my camera be clear when using Video Recorder and let the name of the store that is written on its advertisement portrait which is hung at the top of the store appear clearly?

I have taken a photo trying to let the name written on the portrait appear but it is not clear. The portrait has lights on it. Take a look at these examples please.

This photo was taken, the Exposure Value in the camera settings was set to 0. Look at that portrait over there, you cannot see anything at all!!

While this photo was taken, the Exposure value was set to below 0. It's a little bit clearer but that's not what I want!

Also take a look at this, I tried to take the name of the Pharmacy but also the camera keeps flickering, the name appears clearly and then after a while it flickers...

While I am taking a Video Capture.

Oh my god!! See! What is this all bright white light!! Of course there is no light at all when I look at the Pharmacy with my real eyes! Not a camera, I don't have any idea why the camera shows this white light as you see.

Then after a while it becomes clearer.

After a while it flickers again and so on.

What is this concerned with? Is moving the phone while recording a video causes this?

Finally, thanks to all :)
 
EDIT

I forgot. I wanted to post my camera settings so you can know if something wrong with the settings an suggest me a better and proper settings that may make the written name on lighten portraits appear.

Try night mode?

I don't know, I've taken some awesome night photos, and never had to use night mode. I'll see if I have some examples to upload.
 
Have you tried to direct the camera to an advertisement that has light on it?
Actually I am not using Capture Mode... I am making a video.
 
I see now.
So there is nothing wrong with my camera, Isn't there?
So what about the iPhone Video camera? have you tried it? Is it the same as well?
 
I've seen a few phone cameras, and they don't do videos well in low light. Even most video recorders don't do well. Movement will make it a lot worse, but I think with video, its the movement you want.

I think still picture would work better. Use night mode and allow time to get a focus.
 
Use Night mode and Time Focus in video recorder or picture mode?
Also it is not a low light, as I said I was trying to take a video of the store advertisement board(Portrait) and the portrait has a bright light on it.
 
From your screenshots, I noticed that your camera is set to camera (still) photo mode and you are trying to make a video. You should set it to video mode and your shutter button will then turn red.
 
I am sorry, I have taken screen capture for the camera settings while I am in photo mode.

This is for Video mode.

Please if anyone knows let me know why the camera blurs in Video while recording. it only blurs when I take a movie of an advertisement board (Portrait) of a store that is lighten....

Maybe the lights are not good with the camera, so that is why it makes it blurs?
 
Please ironass or lunatic59 help me in this thread!!!
I am really sad because the camera is only thing that saddened me with the phone!!

When I take a video using my camera, for the first few seconds the vision blurs, then it becomes clearer after that...

It is REALLY annoying!!
If I wanted to take a video of a something that has some writing on it, it will not be clear for the first time when taking a video..
 
I'm afraid the camera is not in my area of expertise. However, you are asking a lot of a camera phone to take video of an illuminated object at night. So, effectively, you are taking video of a bright object against a dark background and most cameras would, I guess, have a problem with this. In photography they would use gel's and filters to accommodate the stark contrast you are trying to capture.
