I thinks it's a protection regarding overheat.

1080p encoding needs much less CPU power with much less heat dissipation as a result.

Are you trying to use the Z as a dashcam ? that i can not recommend for any phone, much better to get a real dashcam.

I made a 4K recording the day before yesterday on my visit to the rain forest, the footage looked kinda okay not i dident look close at it, plus i am on a 2048 X 1536 CRT monitor.

I am still finding it hard to take focussed pictures even in fairly high light with the Z phone in the hand, but if i put it on something steady and use the timer, then it take perfect low light pictures, even in fairly low light.
When the weather get better for me to carry a whole arsenal of cameras i will go do a massive test with everything from phone camera to Dslr, all handheld and in auto mode ( which is what most people will be using )

I have no other similar phones to compare to, my last phone was a 3-4 year old HTC win-phone, and i don't know any phone addicted people that have a higher end phone to compare against.

Trying to keep a open mind and remember the photography 101 class from school and the books i have read about the subject.
