Honor 8 Camera Thread - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Thread to discuss Honor 8 camera tips, tricks, hardware, software updates and settings. Also post photos of what your Honor 8 camera can do.

Yes, dual settings are always beneficial, as one lens captures vibrant colors, to give life to the image, and the other one captures amazing details to provide a crispness.

Who can mod h8 camera app to shoot B&W as P9 ?? Tks

I'm not exactly happy with the camera. Quite disappointed tbh..
Here's what I noticed. Please confirm if you notice the same behavior on your devices or if it's just me.
1. The UI and the whole functionality in general is just quite primitive.. For one, the front/back switch button should be at the bottom where you can easily reach it using one hand. Like on the S7.
2. Snapping a picture isn't fast and instant. I found many times that the camera takes about a second to fine tune focus THEN it takes the snap then it asks to keep the device steady for sharpening. Even if it didn't do that, it still takes a moment after pressing the snap button to actually take the shot. This is what bugs me the most about the camera.
3. Why does recording video have to take an extra tap and, therefore, more time? Why isn't it as easy as tapping a record button on the main viewfinder screen?
4. I found pictures to be extremely dull. Colors are sad.. washed out.
5. "image adjustment" is quite a joke. Changing the values either explodes up or murders image features. For example trying to fix dull colors results in either extremely dead pictures or extremely punched out colors.
6. Even if I did accept the resulting changes from "image adjustment", I found that after a while it resets itself and I have to set it again...!
7. "AF Auxillary Light" option in pro photo mode never stays turned off. If I choose to turn it off, it should stay off.
8. I was told there was a vertical panorama mode where you can take panoramic shots of long buildings for example. Can't find it.
I do like how sharp the images are. Even compared to the S7, pictures preserve much more details. Something that often shows clearly when pixel peeping. Although, the dull colors that need post adjustment and the sluggish slow snapping just takes away all the fun, luxury and efficiency.

My toughs in Low light conditions:
i have a S6 edge and a normal S6 and both phones takes better pictures in almost all situations in comparation with the honor in auto mode....sadly...
to make good pictures like my S6 I have to go in pro mode in the Honor 8 and make adjustments and even so, in the 40% of time the S6 wins in sharpness, detail in low light conditions...
most of the time I need 1 picture in the Samsung and 4 or 5 tries in the Honor to mach the picture in the Samsung.
good camera but for me but if you came from a samsung s6/s7 you will strange the honor 8.
in the color accuracy I think that the honor is more true colors..
the main problem for me in the honor 8 is the lake of OIS, the pictures, especially in low light conditions are most of the time, out of focus...
the camera app, I think that is no good for take pictures in auto mode...
in outdoors:
In 90% of the cases, Honor is the the winner for me.
Better colors, better contrast, better details overall...

Question re: OIS in video mode

On my Note 2, using image stabilization effectively crops the video frame, which lowers the overall quality and results in this annoying zoom. With the OIS that's in the NOTE 4, do we get the full frame?

I saw that video, but it doesn't show the full frame of the image, so there's no way knowing what's going on with it. I can only assume that you'd be getting the full frame with OIS.

The OIS is mechanical on the note 4 so shouldn't where as on the note 2 it is software generated which is why it crops
Uh-oh. This doesn't seem good.
This korean user: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdneth_AKKA has acquired a Note 4. I questioned them about OIS in "4K" (2160p, UHD, whatever) video mode, and it looks like the OIS doesn't function in 4k or 1440p mode - very puzzling since the OIS is mechanical.

It looks great to me. but again the OIS should work when the phone is steady and the object is running fast in front of the camera. The blurry parts is because the camera cant focus because its moving
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm not sure if that's what you meant but ois cannot compensate for subject motion. Only camera motion is corrected by the system. Subject motion needs fast AF and shutter speed.

Perhaps this is dependant on Exynos / Snapdragon? The korean user has a Exynos device, while the test devices at IFA were snapdragon.
That said, I don't see how the SoC could affect OIS.

So this option?
If so, then it could be a exynos thing. That's really annoying, as I know New Zealand is getting the Exynos version. I might have to import a snapdragon version from somewhere, but then it won't have the LTE bands that the exynos one does.
OIS WORKS!
Ok guyz, the problem with OIS was clearly a misunderstanding probably to the lack of more testing the device. Now that man has revised what it said, OIS definitely works:fingers-crossed:
Here is what he exactly said : "" I had good amount of time to play with the video recording features and I want to revise my original impressions. So optical stabilization is always on and it is absolutely fantastic when you compare it to the Note 3 which had no stabilization. Sometimes you forget how shakey your hands really are until you go back to the older device without it. OIS handles pans beautifully, and you can even walk with it if you have stable hands whereas if you tried to walk with the software stabilization on the note 3 (or even walk with the OIS on a SLR camera), it just doesn't work much at all. You can additionally turn on a feature called "video stabilization" but it's only good for still video shots and like the galaxy notes before it, it crops the image.
In short OIS is better than awesome, the "video stabilization" feature is only for still video shots.
Another thing I was to revise is that yesterday, I was out and trying our HDR video at night and everytime I turned on HDR, it would crop the image. However, playing with it further today during daytime, HDR doesn't crop the image. Although I was certain that I didn't have video stabilization enabled, it seems like user error on my part.
And to answer your question WQHD is supported on both the front and rear cameras. Other than HDR being limited to 1080p (I read a lot of places that HDR works on 4K on the S5, I guess they were wrong), I'm really happy with the camera.
Last, I took a photo and uploaded the 7MB to my dropbox. Please check the photo out on my twitter or Google + page that's linked to this channel. The image is pretty darn impressive.""

Nope, low light performance is not affected by picture size. If you have a steady hand and set low shutter speed in manual camera (which is pretty easy, at least Sony did the easy part good ) you will get good pictures.

Really? With night mode? This came out really good, good colours not that dim! Quite detailed for a camera of a 400€ smartphone. I think if you used Pro mode you coulded've got a better result, this is still pretty good tho for a digital and not OIS camera.
Twice exposing
Have one or more P20 lite owners experienced that the camera takes 2 or more pictures, when it only should take one picture? It happens periodically when I take pictures in dark environment, specially when is a weak light source as f.ex neon light on a street shop at night and I dont hold the phone still enough. It looks like it takes an extra or more pictures when the first picture has poor quality. The camera in my P20 lite has basic settings, nothing is changed

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8X's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

I wouldn’t say I’m a photography buff, but I do really like taking photos. When I had my iPhone, I used it for casual snaps, but grabbed my DSLR if I was going on a trip. I love to play around with different filters and effects, so when I got this phone I started playing around with the camera and unearthed a LITERAL wonderland of surprises.
I counted, like, 15 different modes. But actually, there’s more than 15, because there’s a Live photo-esque function called Moving picture, and something called AI photography, which as far as I can tell just figures out what you’re snapping and tweaks the parameters to make the photo look nicer. Sometimes it can be annoying, but it’s easy to turn off so I don’t mind it.
Anyways, the features are a mixed bag, there are some super useful ones like Portrait (with a bunch of different lighting effects that are fun to play around with). But there are also some weird ones like “Document scan” (Not a scanner? What is it for?), and Good Food – which, as far as I can tell, is just an oversaturated filter that makes all your food look kind of bloody.
Basically it’s pretty obvious to me from some casual use that this is a phone with a ton of spare parts that lacks cohesive branding or categorization. Which…IMHO could be a wonderful thing, actually – coz it means you can apply your own creativity to do what you want with it. It’s a sandbox with ready made parts.
To illustrate my point, let’s talk about the Night feature.
Obviously, this mode was designed to help you take photos at night. When it goes off, it takes a few seconds to work, but you can literally watch the photo you’re taking become brighter and better looking. Somehow the tech makes it so the first shot is the base shot, and then some kind of magic happens in the background that adds light and detail captured over time into the same photo—kind of like HDR. In the end, what you get is basically an incredibly detailed photo.
What impressed me about this Night feature is that I’m used to bringing out my tripod for my DSLR if I’m shooting at night. I’d always assumed that you’d have to keep the camera super still in order to grab photos at night because that’s just how exposure works.
Well color me amazed, because I took these photos at night just holding my phone in my hand.
The color management looks pretty spot on, and I like how clearly defined the statues look, compared to the Normal versions.
---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
These shots were interesting to me, because the photos are somehow more blurry in photo mode. Due in part to a slower shutter speed, I believe. While in night mode, the image resolved itself much more clearly and you can see all the details of the temple.
---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------
This feature is also great in dim lighting conditions or even dark animals. My puppy Zozo is all black (except a tiny white tuft on her left forepaw uWu), and it’s a pain to try to get good photos of her. I tried this mode in the morning (my BF sleeping in the background LOL), and you can see SO MUCH MORE DETAIL on her fur and eyes.
---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------
I used the “Individuality” filter in post editing, added a circular blur ring around Zozo, and then added a sticker. The stickers, by the way, are kind of weird, but there are a few fun ones in there.
I sent this photo to a friend who’s never met Zozo, and she was like “wow, shiny dog”. Lol. Shiny indeed.
Hello you said there is differents effects in portraits mode but I cannot find them could you help me?
low light photography is not that much great on this.
Low light photography is not good on Honor 8x.
Even portrait shot it works on 8MP shots only so less clarity.
Front cam portrait and Back cam portrait need to work on edge detection algorithm.
Yea, I noticed that low light isn't very good with the Honor 8X.

Not Sure About the Mi A1 but Mi A2 camera is well more better than Honor 8x.
The best way to get night shots on the Honor 8X is to use night mode and a tripod. Casual shots will not turn out the best.

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the ASUS ROG Phone II come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

Stock cemera app image proccess is extreamly bad
Taken from my ROG II in Portrait Mode
Those are not bad at all. Asus seems to be taking mobile stuff a bit more seriously now, so hoping the app - or GCam - improves things.

			
				
Here are two long exposure night shots of the sky on a moonless night (single images, no alterations). First one is 16s exposure at iso800 and second one is 16s at iso1600. Main camera is able to do up iso3200 and up to 32s exposures but I noticed slight star trails starting at 20s

Wow, those came out better than I would've expected. Then again, I'm use to my V20, which looks bad at anything above ISO 400. I'm surprised you started to get star trails with that focal length too. Get a handful of those in a row and that could make for a good composite with long trails.

Yeah the star trails weren't really that bad, more like just not pin point stars anymore. Here is a photo at 20s and iso800. When zoomed in you can see very slight trails.
Edit: this was also taken on a different night and the moon was just coming out if I recall correctly.

Gotcha. I like doing night photos and light painting, so I was anxious to put this phone through its paces if I bought it.
What do you yall think is better 48mp without hdr or 12mp with hdr
typical photo, nothing special.

Not effing bad for a phone, ISO 800 looks ok, the 1600 not so much ahah but it's not a reflex after all
Coming from a Pixel 2XL, i REALLY miss the ois ...
Daylight photos are fine but low light is junk. Garbage would be too kind to describe it. The ONLY thing wrong with the phone. It is still my phone off the year though... And I've used them all.
Photos below comparing low light pixel 4xl and pixel 3xl to it. Daylight (pixels first in each collage) was good but not premium. Colours a bit muted.
Asus need to really do something about the camera quality. It's a premium priced product (although accessories included here in Australia for $1699aud) with a mid range camera (although the pixel 3a kills it).
Agreed, coming from many years of Samsung phones the camera is straight up trash !
You can't depend on it and in most cases i am not in a bright sunny environment but indoors, cloudy environment, etc.
Gcam mods kinda work but i find them to be kinda slow and therefore i lose the moment to capture a moment quite often.
Asus really NEED to spend serious time on this after the Android 10 release and come out with a MAJOR camera update.
Love pretty much everything else of the phone but the camera is a real let down and should not have been released this way.

Great Question, i have been wondering about this myself.
Tried both but i have not really seen which is better due to the camera not really being consistent.

Folks who are on 10 beta say the camera has vastly improved: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ro...camera-mod-t3970371/post81801449#post81801449
