It is controlled by the Picture Stabilization option now. When enabled, low light conditions will be detected automatically.

Best low light camera settings

After some testing, I find the following two settings give the best results in low light or indoor.
1. All default settings with HDR on. HDR seems to make for brighter and less noisy shots than without, and with much better shadow detail too.
2. All default settings but with Night Mode on. Use this only if your subject is very still, but this is the least noisiest setting.
If visibility of subject is too low, you can turn 'outdoor visibility' on, but be warned it'll make shots slightly noisier, as will the contrast option too.

Work-a-round for auto night detection or lack of it? Video goes far too dark.

Just curious if there is a viable option for videos in low light and no flash.
When in auto mode and low light videos (and sometimes pics) and flash off the camera states "auto night detection cannot be used while recording videos".. Which I could care less about but it unfortunately makes the video or images MUCH darker (then what is initially visible and decent in preview) .
What is visible on screen before recording is more then fine and I would be happy with that but as soon as recording it gives that message and goes very dark. Very frustrating. Just give me what's on the screen why don't you!
Of course I can go out of auto mode but that does little.. Highest manual iso is 800 and I turn exposure up to +2 but this only partially gets better then the darker recordings.
If the preview screen can show an image or video with enough light why won't it record at that?
Anyone else seeing this and doing something to help?
Hey, I just noticed that yesterday , did you find a fix for it?

Yes, here too. The Nokia 6 have 2 LEDs (yellow and white) you need to turn on Neon-light Mode for better Pics. Try it.

There is nothing like neon light mode option in camera settings
Please use google camera it will always use both flashes (white and yellow ) + it produces much better photo overall, while the stock camera flash use stupid technique where if more blue light is in the frame shot it will use yellow flash only but it's highly inaccurate .
here the link for the Gcam https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291676705 also keep following this thread for update versions https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73955268&postcount=342 keep in mind to configure the setting as follow https://imgur.com/y3pCF8i or you can play with settings to find the best settings for our likes

Recording settings to manual. After that there is a Quickbar on the left.

Manual mode noisy. Should i return phone?

Hi All. I got a g6 last month, sent it back and got another one because it had a dust specle inside the lense glass.
Now in the new one I noticed something weird with manual mode in the camera thought you guys could help.
In low light I took 2 photos once in auto mode and once in manual mode.
Both with same iso, whitbalance auto, same shutter speeds. The image in manual mode comes out noisy and the one from auto is not much noisy. This happened all the times in tried with different subjects.
Is this how your phone works too? Or should i return this as well? Pls see attached images. I will really appreciate your comments. Thanks in advance.
sorry. bumping if anyone has any comments?
In manual mode: did you enable "noise reduction" in settings?
Manual mode itself is very noisy on my phone too. Noise reduction is always a software thing, that's why Pixel phones take such great pictures (because Google is good in software). Maybe try a port of the Google camera and compare the results for yourself.

Yes i eventually figured the noise reduction. But couldn't belive the noise when it's off.
Thanks for confirming its same in your phone too.
That is completely normal.
Lol, yeah. Totally normal. Manual mode outputs garbage, but it can be made absolutely glorious with software processing tools.

Nightscape doesn't take a longer exposure

Whenever shooting in nightscape mode, regardless of being on a tripod with the long exposure setting enabled, the camera still takes an instant photo. Anyone know why, or how to fix it?
