I am not sure if the camera is suppose to zoom, but when i am in camera mode with the camera setting I cant zoom in or out. It stays at 1.0x. when i click on the up or down arrow it just beeps.
when in another camera mode i can zoom.
anybody have this problem?
mine zoomed the first time i tried, but not it just beeps like yours.
It uses a digital zoom, so make sure your resolution is not set to 2MP or you will not be able to zoom. Anything under should be fine
yeah that did the trick...lowering the resolution.
Just so you know, lowering the resolution and zooming doesn't gain you anything over using 2MP mode. Digital zoom is basically just cropping, so when you're on a lower res, it lets you zoom to the 2MP level, and just crops it.

I've just recently noticed (after using my camera more frequently) that the default gallery app causes the photos to be slightly blurry when viewing in full size. This problem is alleviated as soon as you zoom in, even slightly, but when you pinch out to full size again, the photo gets slightly hazy again. What is even more strange is that B&B Gallery off Marketplace does not demonstrate this fuzziness as all images are crisp regardless of if it is zoomed in or not.
Is there a setting that I can switch on the default HTC Gallery app to have all photos appear at full sharpness even at full screen size?
I see what you're saying. I took a few pictures of dinner with the family over the weekend and when I view the images in the default landscape view, they look a little fuzzy.
If I zoom in the fuzziness vanishes, and if I resize it to fit the relative size of landscape view, no fuzziness. If I tilt my phone to portrait and back to landscape, the fuzziness returns.
It is even more frustrating when you look at the photos through B & B Gallery. It isn't as integrated into the OS - ie having a shortcut within the camera view, but all the photos are clear from the start and they don't require zooming in slightly to capture the detail. Of course nothing is as bad as the stock Android 3D gallery, but it is disappointing all the same.
Just use Gallery3DMT.apk if you're having quality issues with HTC Gallery.

Is that different from:
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/13/images-look-blurry-on-android-2-1-theres-a-reason-for-that/
Just loaded it and answered my own question: no. The UI on Gallery3DMT is great, but the picture quality - especially when zooming at all - is just bad.
I too can see this. my eyes aren't great but i notice it and its pretty apparent.
Just updated to 2.1.0.11, camera greatly improved.
**In previous rom camera used to take photo in high ISO, about 1000. So, there was so much grain. But new rom uses at best 450 ISO. Therefore image quality greatly improved.(sample images are not of same lighting condition, but you can easily differentiate the noise)
**Viewfinder is clearer.
**Focusing is little bit leggy, specially in low light.
**Flash quality improved. But you have to keep the subject nearer, because camera no more raise ISO above 450,so light sensitivity is less.
**Light Balance is now perfect, no more yellowish photo.
**A new smart mode added. Activate that mode, press shutter, wait a few seconds then three option will come- best photo, action shot, motion focus.
**There is a bad news for advanced users who like to play with camera settings- 3rd party camera app doesn't work anymore, they cant change iso, white balance, etc anything.
Hello,
I have the stock Oreo rom and I'm using the stock camera app .
I have the phone since a couple months and I find the pictures of low quality when taking close-up pics. (A pictures of a keyboard will give me blurry letters numbers for example)
In the stock camera, I have no option like portrait mode, 2x zoom or dual watermark.
In most 3rd party app, the default camera is the front one.
For what I've tried in manual mode if I zoom in and out with a finger on one of the two camera I only get an image from the telephoto one and not from the wide-angle one.
Could it be that one of the 2 camera is not working or do I need to do something to enable something?
Should I sent it in warranty?
Regards,
Better you attach a screenshot of stock camera missing the features
I don't have the option "dual camera" that you can see on the top of this photo:
icdn1.digitaltrends.com/image/xiaomi-mi-a1-camera-menu-1500x1000.jpg
I neither do have the blue icon at the top of this photo:
icdn4.digitaltrends.com/image/xiaomi-mi-a1-camera-depth-effect-1500x1000.jpg
I've seen also in xiaomi forum that the default back camera is the wide-angle and that 3rd party app can't access the telephoto lens.
In my case the default camera is the telephoto lens and some 3rd parties app can't access my back camera.
Same happened with me, so I went to setvice center and they replaced both the cams. There is no other way. It is going to get worse day by day. My Telephoto lens was working fine but the standard one was taking blurry photos. At first it wasn't noticable but then it became more and more blurry.
You should take it to service center
You can use the native lens options -Ultra Wide - Normal - 5x with 108MP. Just switch to 4:3 (Non 108) select the focal length (must be a non digital zoom) then select 4:3 108MP. You cannot switch between lenses while in 108MP mode.
Just though I'd throw that out there I have heard ppl saying it crops when changing to 108MP. But I think it is just selecting a native lens.

Not ultrawide
I've turned off video stabilization.
When I record a video from the photo mode (ultra wide) by long pressing the shutter button, it seems to record in a wider field of view with a resolution of 1920 x 1440.
When I head into video mode and try any resolution, it's not as wide.
Any reason behind this? Anyway that I can get this field of view by default in video instead of going through photo mode shortcut?
Thanks
Welll .. in video mode it is croping in the center for 4k resolution (about 8MP of 12MP of the sensor) and for 16:9 aspect ratio.
When you keep your finger on the shutter in photo mode, it uses the entire senzor downscaled to FHD+ resolution with 4:3 aspect ratio.
(16:9 -> 1920:1080)
(4:3 -> 1920:1440)
This is how also camera makers are "cheating" sometimes as well ...
For example, Canon's 4k has the same issue .. it is having a crop, compared with FullHD.
You can try the following tests on your device:
1. Put it in exactly the same place for all the tests.
2. Switch in settings to FullHD resolution for back cameras
3. Do a :
- photo in ultrawide
- keep on shutter button in photo mode in ultra wide
- go to video ultrawide (FHD) and record a video
4. Do the same, but in 4k for back video
5. Compare the videos, and you will see the crop in 4k, but not that big in FullHD.
All 3 video from step 3 will have the same width of the frame .. only the video done in video mode will be missing some parts on the lower and top side, as it is cropped to 16:9.
4k video from step 4 will be cropped as it is doing a real 4k readout in the center of the sensor.
I hope this helps you.

Yes! Sure helps and makes sense. Thank you for a simple and detailed explanation.
