Camera 2.0 Available - Xperia Z5 Compact General

It looks like Camera 2.0 is starting to roll out in the What's New app. I had to forcibly refresh mine from the menu to get it to show up. It's now the same UI that we saw in the IFA videos.
Initial impressions:
- It's noticeably faster to load up on a cold boot
- It's loads even faster after the first load
- With the phone off, I can press the camera shutter button and load the app in 1 second
- The UI is more responsive now
- Quality seems a tad bit better in low light but I'll have to take more photos to confirm

I've got it too, so far its fast than before, nice to have a changed UI, will need to take more snaps to confirm on the quality of pics.

Hmm, I had it show up, download and install. Opened the camera and it was the same. Checked the app and it still says 1.0 what the?
Solutions anyone?

You really have to open whatsnew several time to get this to work, but it suddenly updated and boom, xperiance is alot better than before! Nice update!
I can't post an image because I'm a noob (remove space)

Okay found it under what's new, seems to be taking forever to install?

For me the camera is slow like before

Just downloaded and startup time seems blazingly fast compared to the old app and the one on the Z3c. That was from a cold start and using it after I'd been browsing for a few minutes. Will see how it fares across a whole day...

All sorted, love the new UI. My camera launches quick, about half to 1 second from cold and instantly after closing and relaunching.

How do you launch the camera? With button or with icon camera?

Much faster in both cases. With button takes like 1-1.5 seconds. With icon, takes <1 second

Just had a morning walk with my toddler and have been snapping shots as well as checking email, etc.
The camera is much faster - this is the phone I was hoping for!!

I rebooted the phone and open the camera have the same delay that previous versions

That's really odd - how fast is the camera on the second start?
Maybe some other process is slowing the camera down. I disabled the "Photo Analyzer Service" as other XDA users had said it cause camera performance issues on earlier Z phones. The only thing I can suggest is that you try that if you haven't already.

In the second start is faster. Disabling photo analyzer don't fix the problem

I think the camera now is really impressive.
Have to take some low-light shots...
Here are the shots: all 8 Mpx automatic no flash

I see huge improvement to previous Camera app. Number of details increased and when zooming in pictures does not loose on quality

Yes the new camera app is much faster. But i was hopping for a better manual mode too, like raw support. We'll see, maybe with the marshmallow update.
Like shutter speed control, with it the camera would be totaly perfect.

[App] Pro Capture

Bought this app as part of the Play Store sales that just happened. So far it's the best camera app I've tried with the N5. UI is decent, solid amount of features, and shutter speed seems much improved for me.

A couple pics using it. Again, shutter speed is much faster and it doesn't seem to effect low light pics.

Just picked this up, seems faster and focuses better (even though it shows the red focus indicator, it's usually still focused properly.)
Yeah, I found the same, especially in macro mode (all the beer related pics above were in macro with a red focus square).

I'm glad you posted this, most of the camera apps I've tried, even those that have been updated for Nexus 5 and 4.4 compatibility all seemed to act weird when tapping to focus, the exposure on screen would flash really dark and often times stay dark.
This doesn't seem to have that issue, so thanks!
Heres a few random macro/close up shots I took.
Just tried it out much better than the stock camera app in my opinion will be using this one
Can confirm this app rocks! Much much better focus speed and picture quality too. Its on sales now ( I'm not promoting for this app )
Thank you very much for this find!
I have tried so many different camera apps (cameraFX, Camera Awesome,...) until now, and none of them did work out really well.
This one is fast in autofocus, Burst Mode is working and the pictures look great!
Another happy user here, came from iPhone 5 , very happy except camera , that's been solved with this app

+1 for this app.
ive been using this for 3 YEARS. and never let me down,

stock camera : 1.95 MB photo, slight bulrry good quality

Holy [email protected]! This app is a HUGE improvement over the stock camera! Thanks to y'all for pointing it out and recommending it/ showing it off! :highfive:
Just bought it. It was 99 cents so I guess not a big deal to try out. I noticed the auto focus isn't great but tap to focus works better than stock. Is it supposed to have a native video recorder? When I clicked "camcorder" it tried opening my stock video camera and then crashed. Also, I'm not sure if the "reduced noise" is usable. It's fairly slow to take the pic as well as to process it.
EDIT: Nevermind about the video, just read on the app page it doesn't support it.

Which is better camera? Stock or Google?

Here's my camera test. Phone was stationary. No touch to focus. Just clicked to take picture. What do you think?
Think its stockkkk...
because it has got better focus.
and modded as the device camera
Stock had a little better colors
It's a tough call. I will say that I like the Google ui a little better. When I touch to focus it seemed to automatically adjust the right amount of light. Where stock I have to manually adjust slowing me down. But I didn't use focus on these just snapped them.
Can you try a better Camera? That's what I use and I usually get the best pictures with no additional effort.

[APP] [PIE] [Mi5] Stable Google Camera

Hi everyone!
I was looking for the most stable Gcam for my Mi5 (Gemini) and didn't find newest post about it.
On testing here, GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2 shows better results and more stable.
Link to download: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk
But it is based on Pixel 2, without Night Sight.
The newest release by Arnova8G2 (GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk) is really slowly and spend a lot of battery.
There is other bugs on Tolyan009 too (MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun.apk), like purple photos with NS and Noise Reduction. Other bug is green and dark photos from front camera.
I got other bugs with camcoder pause/shot functions.
Well, did anyone test another Gcam for Pie that all functions is working?
TRy MGC_6.1.013_B-S-G-based_v.0.6b_TlnNeun.apk
I've been tested almost all Tolyan/Arnova.
The winner is GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GoogleCamera_6.1.021.220943556.apk
Just one bug: inverted photos using Night sight for selfies.
Minor bug: Battery is a little used more than expected. But I don't think that is an disadvantage cause this version there isn't any lag, good integration with Gphotos and HDR+ processing is fast (1 or 2 seconds to finish).

Can't help. I did a rollback to Android Nougat 7.1.2.
Hi all,
i am still using a fantastic Mi5 Pro and the only issues that i am still having is the google cam battery drain in the pictures shots.
every kind of Gcam, 5 or 6 ver. still have this issues during the processing of the HDR features; the battery can drain 10% in a minute (with 2-3 shots), it's unacceptable....
Any ideas? Thanks
I've long been in a search for the best google pixel camera for the MI-5.
The best I've found (and am using as a daily driver) is this one:
GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
This has/can:
- Close to 0 shutter lag (others often had 0.5-1 second)
- motion photo
- More than 3-4 photos in a burst (had this issue with others, those stopped taking photos while they were 'processing')
- Fast start times (other gcam ports often took 2-4 seconds (!!!) to start up)
(Note, this is in combination with LineageOS 16)

have anyone managed to take astrophotography using mi5? mine isn't working. I have tried many gcam 7.1/7.2 ports, none worked. It shows astrophotography on while mounted to tripod but only takes 8/9 seconds to take picture instead of 4 minutes long exposure. I'm using PE10 rom.
Are you still there?
Up to v6-v8 arnova version was the best but there isn't support for Night Sight.
I give up it cause I rollback to Android 7.
Now other person need to use Mi5 and want Gcam with that feature.
Using that:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk
oxi_arn1.4_mi5_config_v3.xml
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/p/f/2019/10/oxi_arn1.4_mi5_config_v3.xml
The results is great but front camera stills get green photos.
I tried many different settings but the same results (green photos on selfie).
Ths version is very stable, fast and works great with Gphotos. Night Sight is another real good feature.
And on that, I can't use this .XML.
Other versions Selfie isn't green but the quality is very poor and crackled.
Anyone know a hint to solve this?
Thanks.
@Arnova8G2
I am now using Xiaomi's Mi5.
Current Operating System: Pixel Experience Android 10 Plus Edition
Now I am looking for the best Gcam for my phone. Recently I have used some of the Gcam versions. But every one of them has major bugs.
I noticed high battery consumption and experienced various problems( green effect, saturation etc) while taking pictures.
So, I want to know if there is any version available for MI5 which
which doesn't drain fast
close to 0 shutter lag
Fast start times
HDR+ processing is fast
Good integration with Gphotos
Night mode and most of the other features are available
Able to take Perfect Selfie (Without any green/dark effect or saturation problem)
Thanks in advance!!!
Note: Camera2api is enabled in my device. But the phone is not rooted and I don't intend to do so

Time to take picture (camera launch speed)

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Nokia 9 PureView can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'm really interested into the shooting performance.
So any "final version" user please let us know how big the delay is between shoots when shooting a series of Photos.
Let's hope it's minimal!

From what I've read, the shots are processed in the background and there isn't any delay in taking the next shot. I'm curious about the buffer tho.

Read this too the other day. Let's hope the buffer is large enough to cover 4-5 shoots.
I guess processing will take 4 - 8 seconds per picture. This would not surprise me.
Gesendet von meinem HTC U11 life mit Tapatalk
The processing time differs based on the scene, and which settings are active. I've had some outside shots take between 15-20 seconds to process, and photos with less detail involved only take 3-5 seconds.
With everything active, there's about a half-second delay between shots. Even if you keep tapping the button, it won't take another shot immediately. I haven't noticed any limit on total number able to be processed at once though. I think the most I had at once was 11.

So, I’ve purchased the Nokia 9 from and downloaded a compatible pixel 3 camera mod… Question, do all five-camera work as one on third party camera applications as well, night scape using five camera lenses awesome.

I can't answer for sure, but I highly doubt it. I think the app has been customized to use all 5 together and stitch the image together when all the settings are enabled. Since you can disable the extra stuff, I imagine it would only use the main 2 cameras when using a third party app. Seems like it's software controlled.
Then that is good in my view because I can use the Nokia camera app to access all five cameras for pro photos and GCAM using the 2 RGB cameras for great point – shoot photos (like pixel 3 xl)
Could also be, that you are using just one Camera.

Can you share the link to the APK of the pixel camera mod you are using? Haven't been able to run one that doesn't force quit every time.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ny6ulpiqih18ulg/Nokia_8.1_fully_working.apk/file
I believe the long processing for the photos is a Nokia app bug, because i was able to find a workaround. This issue appeared on my Microsoft nokia as well. The work around i found to get them processed immediately is after you take your pictures, create a new text message or send yourself a text message, and add the pictures you just took to the text message. You dont have to send the text message and you dont have to add them all, just one that is processing. then you can go back in photos and it will be done processing.

No, the speed didn't get any better than before (maybe slightly, but not enough to really care/notice). They're supposed to be releasing another update soon. Honestly though, I doubt there's too much they can do about the picture processing time. With all the work going on in the background, I don't think they'll be able to speed it up much.
One thing I do hope they address though is the killing of background apps. If you take a picture with all the data turned on (RAW, depth, etc...), it seems to kill most background apps to free up space to process. That seems like overkill to me. Maybe free up a little space, but it seems overly aggressive.

Problem recording video at any resolution at 60 fps

Hi everyone, I have a problem and I would like to share it with you because I think it is a very serious software or design flaw and it may be that this could happen to some of you.
This is the second device with the problem, I returned the first one to Amazon and I have unsealed this right now
I have realized that recording video at any resolution, when I zoom at maximum, I focus on an object and when I view the video the object is displaced, I don't know if you understand me.
It is as if the camera that shows me the image on the screen is not the same as the one that records the video, it is the displaced objects and I am testing it with the second oneplus that Amazon has sent me and the same thing happens to both, so I think this can happen to more devices
When it is most noticeable is with the maximum zoom but if you look it always happens but obviously it is clearer with zoom
This happens to me in any resolution at 60fps
In this Youtube link I show the problem, the video is in 4k resolution 60fps but it happens in any resolution 60fps
In the video you can see perfectly how the white letters are up during the recording and when I play the video they are seen in the center and that is not normal. The other day I recorded a helicopter flying and when I played the video the helicopter was not seen
The phone is just unsealed and is the second in 1 month and a half.
It is European version
I would really appreciate if anyone can test what I have commented to see if I am not the only one.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English

When you zoom you're changing lenses. There is a handoff which occurs..leave the camera on one of the stock zoom states there are 3 of them.
They should all work afaik, perhaps not the most zoomed out one, but the other two should be fine..

Thank you for your answer but I do not understand that in a device of € 1000 I cannot use the maximum zoom in any resolution at 60fps and the worst thing is that in other forums they tell me that this problem does not happen to them ....
You also have that problem?
for me this is not normal in such an expensive phone

Thank you for your answer but I do not understand that in a device of € 1000 I cannot use the maximum zoom in any resolution at 60fps and the worst thing is that in other forums they tell me that this problem does not happen to them ....

I haven't noticed it personally as I don't tend to zoom so much. It's best to try to keep our optical rather than the digital zoom.

I personally think that if a device has certain characteristics, they should work correctly, it's like buying a car with 6 gears and only being able to use 5 because the sixth doesn't work well.
I like the device a lot but I can't live having paid more than € 1000 knowing that it has this fault because for me it is a fault
I have tried other devices with 4 cameras and that does not happen to them, I have tried to record a car from 50 meters away with the zoom to maximum and I have not been able, you can see the video in the Youtube link that I have put

I'll take a look pal. Is only compare a OnePlus 8 pro with a OnePlus 8 pro though mate.
Let's see if we can set up a test whereby we can isolate it indeed it is an issue or not.
Has to be specific though and replicatable.

I have already spoken with Amazon and they have told me that they are going to check it because it may be that there is a defective batch. I will inform about how this strange story is developing.
It is really something very strange and doing more tests I have verified that it is not only with the maximum zoom, if I press the button zoom X3 or any zoom level it also happens.
I lean out of my window and record a car at less than 50 meters and while I make the recording I can see it on the screen but when I see the video the car does not appear, it is as if the lens that shows me the image on the screen while I am recording it is not the same lens that records the video.
very strange Thank you for answering

No worries man.
An yea that's weird.
Are you turning on HDR by any chance when recording, I've noticed that stabilization is lost when that's on.

It does not matter if I use HDR or not, I record an object at the top of the screen with the maximum zoom with the object in front of me and when I see the video the object is in the center of the screen and when it is something that is further away and moving is not even seen on the video after recording it

Ah ye that's not right, I think the alignment of the lens, it has to be..
I can confirm I do not have this said issue. Definitely not and Amazon or OnePlus must take responsibility for that, it's a factory defect, perhaps their standard testing process doesn't cover zooming in detail.
So you say that if you capture something onscreen whilst zooming in and is present in the preview, it will not be present in the playback?
If so then I would query the lens, this isn't something a software fix could change. In no way.

Exactly, what appears while you are recording then does not appear in the video. It is very curious and seems to be related to what you have said about the alignment of the lenses.
It is the second oneplus 8 pro that Amazon sends me and in both there is the same problem that is why they have told me that they will notify it in case there is an error in a series of devices
Another curious fact is that with the new Gcam which uses 3 lenses of the oneplus 8 pro this problem does not occur and the truth is that it gives good results

? Nah the gcam only uses a small percentage of the zoom capabilities.
I'd say that's why. Zoom and take a pic on both, you'll see what I mean

You are right, Gcam has less zoom than the stock camera but as I said before, the problem occurs at any zoom level although it is obviously more visible as the zoom increases.
That is what makes me think that it may be a software problem because I have done a test by putting the Gcam and the stock camera at the same zoom level more or less and with the Gcam I get the image correctly and with the stock the problem occurs
Another thing that makes me think that it is a software problem is that it only occurs in any resolution using 60fps, if I use 30fps it does not happen so it cannot be a design problem or that the lenses are incorrectly positioned

hi, there! new to the forum as i got my op8pro couple of weeks ago. i can confirm the issue, it is strange that only appears at 60fps, and only when zoom is used. in my case at least looks like the video is being cropped...like u said, at rhe time of the recording i can see the "whole picture' on the screen, but then when u play the video it looks to me as it was being cropped from the original video and only showed a portion of the "whole picture". i think it's probably smth to do with how the software is processing the video when zoom is used at 60fps.. don't thing is hardware or has something to do with the positioning of the lenses..
basicly smth like that

Or my god I thought that I was the only one to whom this happens, if you look at YouTube videos you can see perfectly what I am talking about.
Anyway, it happens to me in any resolution at 60fps and using any zoom but obviously it is appreciated more the more zoom I apply. One day I recorded a helicopter with the zoom to the maximum and when I wanted to see the video it did not appear on the screen during the entire recording ,the helicopter was advancing which means that if what I am recording is in motion the problem is accentuated.
And from what I have been able to see this only happens to some devices because with several people with whom I have spoken in different forums they comment that it does not happen to them or at least they say that
