Have been having issues with the stock camera app. I always set HDR to auto and resolution to full 4:3 12mp, however i have noticed that sometimes i will open the camera app and it will have turned off HDR and set back to 16:9 9.1mp.
Doesn't seem to happen all the time. Its not really a big issue but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Model : SM-G935W8 running latest Rogers Rom not rooted.

Stock latest lollipop camera works fine, after camera update takes black picture with flash. Uninstalling update fixed the issue.
Cm12.1 same issue with ROM default camera.
Chroma same issue with default camera.
EDIT: found using latest camera on kitkat is flawless. only when on lollipop and latest camera this issue occurs.
Uninstall google camera...use camera360 instead

dont need these stupid filter camera's. plus it doesn't have video mode.
what i want is a simple no blabla camera that do picture and video, or a fix to this flash issue that takes black picture.
iv got an older google camera and it works fine, but it auto updates so i disabled auto update for now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Use this. It supports video recording too.
Camera360 is also great.
here what i found according to my need that is..
1 old version of Google camera
2 open camera (ui is not great specially settings)
3 better camera (paid but worth it)
Google camera and better camera takes same quality pictures, video is better on better camera on low light condition.
i was facing same issue , but i found a solution . you have to press anywhere on the screen first , 2nd time you press on capture button . it works for me
no that just add inconvenience, i found using older version of google camera is far better, just have to see i don't update it by mistake.
Hi, just want to double check with other users about the Picture size/ratio of the Whatsapp Camera.
On my S8 it is currently 1:1 even though the camera is 4:3, is this the same for everyone? Can you change this?
No biggie, its just annoying me a little, as I swear it was 16:9 on my S6.
Also when i rotate the camera to landscape, the picture is still 1:1 and the camera rotates in the opposite way.... then crashes...
I'll upload pictures if anyone wants
Screenshots
me too on s8 and a friend of mine with his s8+
Hi I don't use that app but have you looked at what settings are on your camera?
Also maybe the app ain't rdy just yet for the s8 might need updating.
And have you tried running app in full screen mode?
Just a few suggestions but hope you get it sorted.
Same here me on my S8 plus. Friend at work has an S8 and his is fine and we are on the same Whatsapp version number.
I have a UK XEU version from the Carphone Warehouse.
I too have similar camera problem in WhatsApp when using on my S8. It was not there when I first installed. There was a system update and after doing that this camera problem as started. Can anyone help? Previously I was using S7 and never had any problems.
Whatsapp can't use full screen mode yet, and no solution at 1:1 camera which works only in portrait mode
the cameras within other apps are often not as good as the stock camera.
for best quality at least, i normally use the stock camera app, and then just share the image
I set full hd then become normal on WhatsApp camera full screen ratio.
Same issue here. If I rotate camera in whatsapp, the image is rotated wrong.
The solution!!!!
Hey Guys i just found out the solution for the problem!!
Its the resolution of the phone that messed up the camera.
Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution -> Set screen to FHD+
I had it on WQHD+ 2960x1440 and that gave me some weird resolutions on whatsapp (also the problems with rotation of the phone/camera)
then i just changed the resolution of the phone and the problem was fixed!!!
Hope it works for you too!!

Yeah, I can confirm that.
Which means that Whatsapp is not supporting WQHD+ yet.
I have just added Whatsapp in Game Tuner, to run it in FHD+ (75% WQHD+).
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

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.
Hi. My camera in video mode works in zoom by default, in photo mode everything goes well. This issue appears in stock rom and in xiaomi.eu rom on all camera apps (footej camera's zoom is the shortest one as far as i know). Had anyone the same problem ? No clue what's happening ... :crying::crying::crying:
I think everybody has this problem , i don't really know if it can be normal . Had this thing since i bought the phone .
Do you think that flashing different camera app could help ?

I've tried Open Camera and Footej Camera on the latest Global Beta rom and it shows zoomed in into the preview but when you press the record button it shows and records absolutely normal. Try with another camera and see if it's the same... I don't know what to say..
I think there is some EIS. That's why it is zoomed in. Using another camera will be the solution to your problem.
I installed the last stable version for Oreo/Razer and have been getting weird flashes of exposure and auto brightness adjustments at the beginning of a video record. Actually this happens on all other previous and new versions that have working video as well. This also persists even if I lock exposure in the UI. The stock Razer cam app doesn't exhibit this behavior using video. Anyone else seeing this?
