Problems with camera - Dash 3G, Snap General

do anybody has such problem with s521's camera? (twitpic. com /2onfrn) (without spaces)
I thought that ROM chainging will solve this problem but I was wrong.

That looks like it might be a photo effect. Check the settings for your camera as you're using it to make sure you have all the photo effects turned off. Also check the exposure, brightness, light settings as you could have something enabled or disabled that causes this. If your cam has a flash see if you can set it to meter or disable, but I'm pretty sure it's an effect. I don't have that phone so I have no idea what or where your camera settings would be but it's safe to say a bit of tinkering may yield positive results.

Camera Blur

Hi all,
Need some good advice/help.
Not sure when my camera seems to be blur & really blur. Thus the picture taken are blur too. I tried to adjust the setting, but all is fixed at 5.
I found the problem when i am using ROM 2.2, even i had upgrade to the 3.3 (version 13) i still have the problem.
Is this a hardware or software problem? Thanks!
Don't know if this helps but the lens has a macro facility if its turned to the flower all photos will be blurred unless the subject is really close. Try turning the lens to the dot and it should be ok.
Hope this helps

Any way of remove camera sound? (No Root)

It's simply annoying. Would like so much to disable the camera sound without having to set to vibrate ou mute before taking pictures.

Not inside sound settings and also not inside camera settings. At least on Brazilian Samsung stock ROM.

Not with out rooting that I have found.
I didn't know turning the volume down would kill it. Cant figure out which fo the 4 it is. Seems like they all have to be completely off to be silent.
BUT you should be able to use something like Llama to set when camera is active turn to silent and when camera is off put back to normal volume.
I tried this real quick and it gets in a loop. Haven't trouble shoot it yet. But it does work in manual test mode. Problem has to do with what the app is called when viewing to take a pic vs actual taking a pic vs showing the pic after.

Actually, both vibration and mote modes are sufficient to silent that annoying camera shooting sound.
That's the workaround I'm using...
Just install this apk, it doesn't require root:

Google HDR+ vs Stock Camera

Hi guys,
So I have Google camera installed and works smooth while taking pictures compare to the stock camera.
But I have a question here in the comparison of both.
Attached is the comparison collage for same shot on stock camera and Google camera. In the Google camera, for the sky, it creates the color using dots which are clearly visible when I zoom in. And it is something which is bothering me.
Can anyone here tell me, if I am using some wrong settings or it is there in every setting?
I have the dots also, didn't find what's causing them, but version 5.0.009 gives me much less dots, so try to find that version and see if it helps.

same problem here, did you find a solution?
I have tried several different Gcam versions, types and configurations and all of them had this behavior with HDR engine activated. Gcam might need additional fix for our phone :-\
here is my comparison video

i use version Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.2

Nope, still the same problem. It's extremely easy to replicate, just take HDR photo of Kinder surprise yellow egg (or anything similar). It will show dotted pattern no matter what. The same pattern is visible on light uniform color (sky, wall,..).
_mysiak_: i try it now and i have same problem :/ ...but i must zoom in this photo, otherwise I can not see dots
Photo - yellow wall

I see it too. I switched back to MGC_5.1.018_7.0+c2API_Min_2a_AllInOne (December 12) and it does'nt appear to have this problem. I was on 3a and it had this problem. I'm using the Pixel setting (Marlin + Taimen) as device, with Pixel auto HDR+ and ZSL enabled.

Just tried it and even this version failed my yellow test, pattern still visible.
Edit: 5.1.018 versions crash on my phone here and there, so I'm back to "stable" MGC_5.1.014_7.0H_C2API_v.1.5g_AllinOne

Try these settings and app version from a photographer using our phone.
Just tried the photographer config and I can still see the dotted pattern.
My hope is that Xiaomi can upgrade the camera with android O update next week (and add image stabilization)

You are right, pattern is not visible, but also output of HDR+ isn't so good :\ I would even say that's it's pretty much on the same level as stock camera app.
I have tried almost all versions and settings combinations and it seems that we either have amazing HDR mode with strange pattern or HDR with low details and no mysterious pattern.
Try 3.5 BSG version. I've tried the AllinOne_Full_Manual 3.5 version and it doesn't appear to have the blocks. Using the same test subject, and I noticed that all versions from current all the way back to 1.2 have this flaw. I am working my way up on the versions, got to 3.7 and 4.0 but I can't get HDR to actually process.

Video problem (focus hunts)

Does anyone else have a problem with video recording? No matter which app I use the camera hunts for focus occasionally resulting in the frame zooming in and out, or out and in, slightly. I can't manage to get more than 3/5 seconds of rock solid framing?
I have the same issue (LineageOS 14.1) and came here to ask which app I should use to avoid this problem!
This video shows the refocusing really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCcEp3oD4aY

Do you use the stock ROM or a custom ROM like I do?
Maybe ZTE will repair your phone?

It looks like your camera is refocussing a lot more frequently than mine!
I'm running the Stock ROM and camera app at the moment. I don't think it's a hardware problem as the camera does not refocuss when taking a still photo.
I can't have ZTE look at it as there's no service center in the UK (and I bought it from Gearbest).

You are right! :good: I changed the 'touch focus duration' in the LOS camera app from '0s' to 'infinite' and now the focus does only change if I click elsewhere!
There should a similar setting in the stock camera app!

I can't find such a setting in the stock camera app!
But I did find it in the Open Camera app!

Can you upload a screenshot of the video settings?
You mean 'Open Camera' (Camera App) - https://f-droid.org/app/net.sourceforge.opencamera? Which setting you changed? I had no refocussing without changing any setting.

Using Open Camera has fixed the problem for me!
The stock camera app only seems to have fixed focus settings for the stills camera!

To answer myself: The small icons in the menu represent the different focus modes! :good:

Yes it took a while to find the settings! The continuous autofocus setting ("c") causes my Mini to hunt for focus every 2/3 seconds. All the other settings work as expected with no hunting.
Doh! I've just found that you can lock focus and exposure using the Stock camera app! You just need to long press on the target circle after you have selected the object you want to focus on.

Once locked you can choose another object to focus another and it will lock focus on that without having to long press again.

Google photos custom roms bug

Has anyone else experienced a bug in Google photos where the image adjusts when you click to view them? In the preview section the images appear normal but when you click on one and view it the colours wash out slightly and looks quite different from the original. You can see it adjust moments after you click on it. It's happening on every custom rom I've tried but is fine when on stock miui. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this when using custom ROMs.

I'm not sure what DC Dimming is I'm sorry. I have tried PE11 and found the problem was still happening.

Settings > Didplay > DC Dimming
PE11 or PE+11 ? I am on PE11 and Photos app work normal. Not different between PE and miui or my others old devices like xperia xz, galaxy s6, nexus4. Are you backup your photos? If yes, Which upload method you selected?

I have just re-installed the latest regular PE11 and the issue is there. The photos are backed up normally through Google photos to my Google drive. I have access to a Pixel 5 and the images appear fine there it's just on my Mi 9T the photos app alters the way the image looks. It's not all images though which is strange. Some I can view and nothing changes but then others I'll click on them and the picture brightens and washes out as if a filter has been applied.
I think I figured out the issue. Under the display settings I had selected 'adaptive' but when switched to 'saturated' the issue is resolved. Fingers crossed that's all there is to it but so far so good.
