Camera settings - mods (without root)

Hi, is there a way to enable saturation control on this phone? or maybe shutter speed? some mod? some apk?
Also smooth-motion, is this another fake 1080p like the LG G2 60 fps option? which actually shot in 720p (upscaled) and does the digital stabilization works along with the OIS in this mode?

I'd like to add one topic to the wishlist: A FOCUS INDICATOR !
Just all digital cameras tell you if the autofocus worked - by changing the color of the reticle, by a sound - just the Note 4 does NOT tell you if it's autofocus succeeded or not.

So no one?

You can press on the screen for a bit longer and the circle/focus will lock on the subject you want to shoot.

Sure. But it still does not show if focusing was successful or not.

Erm... Am I talking Suaheli ?
OF COURSE it tries to lock the focus, but that's not the point.
There's NO indication if the focus lock was successful (picture focused, sharp) or if the focus lock failed (picture still unfocused, blurred). There's no indication by the Note 4, while other digital cameras output an audio signal, a beep, or change the color of the focus reticle (e. g. green for success, red for a focus failure) if the focus lock was successful.
Nothing of that with the Note.

So no one has any option to control shutter speed?

Camera being a system app, I don't think it's moddable (I know that's not a word) without root. You can install a different cam app though.

But often custom camera aps have terrible processing, the reason why i never install cyanogen on my phones
Maybe i will decide to root, but even with root, i don't see an option (mod or apk) to manually control the shutter speed?

Bump, what about saturation control?

Anyone knows a way how to control the saturation?

You can download Food mode, it has temperature control and produces more vivid pictures in terms of saturation.

Camera quality

Hi everyone, I've been reading around a bit about the Z2 camera and I'm finding some very conflicting opinions. GSMarena did a camera shootout not too long ago for which I'm pretty sure the Z2 came last or at least did horribly. (http://www.gsmarena.com/camera_shootout-review-1104.php) What makes this interesting is that DXOmark (http://www.dxomark.com/Phones/Sony-...ed-model-takes-first-place-in-Mobile-rankings) did a review on the Z2 camera and it scored quite highly. Am I missing something here? I don't think the stills are amazing to be honest and I mostly use superior auto. Is superior auto just garbage?

Camera has been improved with the new 4.4.4 Android update.Second of all,yes - Superior Auto is complete crap to be honest.The real deal is shooting in Manual Mode.So you need to play with the camera options abit to achieve the shot you want to see.Apart of that i don't beleave that the scores from dxomark are true.Sony has a crappy software (we all know that),so if u have time to shoot something - do it on manual. You will be surprised with the results.Use superior when u need to take a fast shot only.

I have to admit this the Z2 is horrible under use of Superiour Auto however manual mode with correct settings, this camera will eat others
I recomend using the stock camera

I dont know of any guides
Try googling words you dont know such as:
Exposure
ISO
Metering
White balance
Anything else you dont understand
I usualy like to use these settings:
ISO400(always)
Metering: Spot or multi
2MP size
Apropriate exposure and white balance

My opinion: currently Z2 Camera is amazing, in Manual Mode.

Sony only pretends to allow other apps to take control of for example ISO (FV-5 Camera comes up in my mind in particular), but doesn't do so. The onyl camera, which really can use manual settings like ISO from user is crappy Sony Camera app unfortunately. We should all pray for Sony not screwing up 5.0 update with all it' new camera APIs being open.

So it seems to be unanimous that superior auto is crap, I'll start using manual then from now on
Thanks guys!

Which GCam version/settings are people using?

I know the Redmi Note 7 has a good camera for its price point, but I was curious what people were using who prefer the popular gcam ports (hopefully one with the latest features like night sight) and which settings they have been using

I'm sorry if it's irrelevant but... Does this phone comes with a manual mode with shutter speed, focus and ISO control?
And if so; can you tell me about the ISO and shutter speed range?
Thanks.

And I thought my Lumia's 5s shutter was epic...
32s shutter speed is just... Insane! Should be able to take some decent night portraits; especially of stars and fireworks.
Time to buy a tripod!
Although I do wish it had an upper range of 1/2000, just like my Lumia.

Yeah, use slow-mo of stock camera app. BTW Gcam for picture, Stock for video.

How about Open Camera for video?
Can you go full manual with Open Camera (ISO, shutter speed, fps, bitrate, flat picture profile - i mean does it actually work and output footage has your changes settings)?

Can somebody post some photos with gcam and stock app?

Hello,
Any news about Gcam ports?

Gcam?

Just wondering if there is a version of gcam that can be installed? And where do you check for development and updates these days? Had a Pixel for so long I've no idea where to go!!

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
considering the fact that the 8 Pro is one of the two phones in the world that uses the IMX 689 sensor, it'll take some time for developers to make a proper port for this phone.

Any luck?

I'm using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.7-fix.apk from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1475 and it works well so far.

Yep, This version of GCAM cannot support the UltraWide and Tele cam yet.

says it need root access to work..

That means I have no luck using ultrawide and tele lens with GCAM apps...
Use stock apps instead

Indeeed

...
I really hope we will see a stable version of GCam working with all Oneplus 8 Pro cameras.
I personally think there is a lot of potential in that IMX 689 sensor.
I am still thinking there should be some real use of this strange photochrom camera as well.
And may be a nice manual PRO VIDEO mode as well :fingers-crossed:
Most probably I will get the Filmic Pro anyway soon.

I only just installed GCam yesterday after reading this thread .. lol.
So far played with the different modes (not lenses/cameras) but the night mode seems really good. The downside (if I can call it that), is that it appears that Gcams ability to take HDR photos vs stock app's ability, Gcam's takes much longer to process before storing? Like as you take the shot, there is noticeable processing time, vs. the stock app which seems to effectively point-shoot-store fairly quickly.

I used to have GCAM on my OnePlus 6 before and yes, the GCAM HDR takes much longer than the stock HDR but the quality is faaaaaaar better on GCAM so the processing time has whatever reason but it's definitely worth it

GCam has a different algorithm which processes many frames. In Pixel devices, there is a dedicated chip (pixel visual core) which performs the necessary computations. In other devices, it is the main processor that has to do all the job

I played around with the GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.8, which delivers nice results. but I noticed that the maximum resolution is 4000x3000. the stock camera goes up to 8000x6000. is there a way to activate the full resolution? in the settings it is already set to full resolution.
other than that, can anyone recommend any of the configs for this gcam? https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/configs-urnyx-02/

How does the night mode compare to the pixel 4? I imagine it would be better because of the larger sensor

I don't have the Phone(1) yet, but I just tested it on my OP7T, and I couldn't set it as the default photo apk.
So I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'm still optimistic that a solution can be found.

I agree with speakers but not with main camera. Which gcam mod did you use? With AGC it's really good. But you need to play with the settings a bit. Choose the correct NM for example

I'm using the stock camera, and I prefer the ones from the OP7T I think I can left some examples here, and also the P1 does not have even 24h and it start showing ghosting in the screen
The most contrasting photos are from the OP7T using stock camera

The real question for me is whether GCAM is better than the stock cam or not?
Maybe it is because my experience with GCAM has been on exynos samsung phones but my experience is that in the end it has not been worth the hassle.

It depends on the quality of your photo system and only you can determine this in the first place, and then take into account the positive and negative datas from other members or feedback from specialists.

The hard part with gcam is to tune it correctly. If you are able to do it, you can adjust it like you want to get the "best" pictures. From what I have seen the nothing camera software is really bad. The camera sensors of this phone arent bad at all to get nice pics. It's not high-end but still definitely more then good enough for the most people. I hope they'll improve the stock camera in future.

AGC or MGC? Any opinions?

I'm using MGC_8.5.300_A10_V6 and everything works well except video stabilisation. Maybe someone have working config or build for it ?

As someone else mentioned its not the camera on the NP1 but software is. So im going to try Gcam. Can someone explain for me why so many to choose for? Whats the difference between them?

You can, install gcam and double click the side button. It will pop up 2 cameras and just pick gcam, choose Always

Have been using the MGC 8.4.600 V13 version for a few days now and my initial view is that the results are definately better.
I am pleased as previously I have had nothing bad a bad experience using gcam (mostly Samsung exynos)
