P8 camera metering mode question

I downloaded the p8 user manual, but can't find anything about camera metering modes like matrix/center/spot metering.
Owners of P8 units... Does this camera have the option to select metering modes? Thanks a lot!

If you open the camera app > access the hamburger menu (≡ at top right) > select Professional - you get various finer settings to adjust. This may be what you're referring to.
Would also be worth trying a few third-party camera apps, some of which offer readily available manual options (not hidden deep within various menus), & more features & improvements over the stock android camera app. Not sure what links I'm allowed/not allowed to post, so just do a Google search for 'best android camera apps' (or similar). If you find any really good/useful ones, do let us know if you can.

Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me which settings are available in the Professional mode? I am specifically looking for the Matrix/Center/Spot-metering functions, so you have better control on how the camera "sees" the light.
I know that the FV-5 camera app has Matrix/Center/Spot-metering modes. But are these only available when the P8 hardware supports this?

Right, I'm with you now. It looks like it does support metering functions (No way to check for quality though, is there? Or, do you know how?)
I made a screenshot (see below) of the various 'pro' functions in the P8's default camera app, & also of the installed FV-5 app's metering options.
Let me know if you need any more info/screenshots.

Thanks for your detailed info, very nice of you.
Yes it seems it does have light metering options. The strange thing is, in the meantime i emailed to Huawei directly and they said it didn't have the modes...
And is your device non-rooted? How do you like your pics from the P8. People in reviews complained about inconsistency of the picture quality. Do you recognize that?

No problem (got some time on my hands). Wow, it seems Huawei support are rubbish with such things!
Yes, my device is non-rooted (so far!). Pics are best I've ever had on a phone (although my older phones' cameras were ordinary). No, I don't find any inconsistency with quality, although some patience & a steady hand helps a great deal (I'm sure a tripod would be even better).
As photos are so important to you & if the P8's camera seems ordinary to you (from what you've heard/read so far), you should perhaps consider a Huawei P9/P9 Plus, or another brand/model especially known for its excellent camera.
Anyway, have a look at a few independent reviews of the P8 camera before making up your mind:
Notebookcheck (very detailed, camera review begins from about a third down the page)
ePhotozine (photography website, so hopefully know what they're talking about)
The Huawei P8 camera - my experiences so far (Smartcam Club) (a phone-camera enthusiast site by the looks of it)
Edit: Full res shots from 3rd review above available at Flickr - very impressive, obviously taken by someone who knows what they are doing!

Thanks for the reviews and photos, i will take a close look at that. I'm still using my "old" Galaxy S2. The problem is my battery dies 2 times in a day. And there are no original batteries available anymore, only bad copies. I bought 3 and all of them are bad. I still use my first original battery now. I always liked the S2 camera, not too bad... And as photography is my hobby i always had a way to make a "basic" photo better.
But now we are almost 4 years later, the camera's have certainly improved. I was choosing between the Moto G4 plus, Samsung S5 neo, LG G4 and Huawei P8. All are in my budget range from 300 euro's.
The LG G4 suffers from a bad bootloop problem, so that one is a no go for me. The Huawei P8 had most options and now i know it has also manual metering options, it will be my main choice.
How's the battery time of the P8? If you use the phone often, will it last a day? And my last question, if you turn of the phone, and then on again, will it remember the camera settings? For example EV compensation, white balance and so?
Thanks again for answering.

Yesterday i went to a Vodafone shop to see the P8. The strange thing was, when i went into the camera-settings, i didn't see the professional mode, like you send me in the picture. Or did that change through a software update?

Ok, I understand well where you're coming from now. You want a good-excellent camera with metering/finer functions, but also on a budget. And a phone with reasonably good battery life.
The P8 camera's 'pro' setting appears to work for a set time - if the camera is not accessed or used for 15 min, it automatically returns to its default setting. Just accessing the camera app keeps it going for 15 mins further - one doesn't have to take a shot to keep it going. Completely closing the camera app, or restarting/switching on the phone afresh (from off) doesn't seem to have any effect - the pro setting remains unchanged - so here again, time seems to be the only factor. In other words, if the pro setting is enabled, then the phone switched-off for longer than 15 min, the camera will automatically revert to its default setting. I haven't found a way to lock the setting, although a third-party camera app may have this feature.
About the absence of the pro setting in the phone you looked at, did you check what Android version the phone was running on? If older than Marshmallow, it most likely won't be there - see this video. So, hopefully this is the only reason for its absence in the shop's phone.
If the phone is kept constantly on as normal, only average/medium use gives me a full day's battery. Once setup, there's an easily accessible, inbuilt 'Ultra battery' setting which I use when the phone is not going to be being used for a while. This extends battery life quite well, & allows in/out calls & texts. This setting is also very easy to exit whenever needed, & reverts the phone back to normal mode (full functionality) in a few seconds.
On the downside, the phone doesn't support fast-charging, so even using a fast-charger (FC) makes no difference (got this info from reviews, so quickly changed my mind about getting a FC). Charging the P8 for an hour equates to 30-35% of added battery power. By contrast, a FC used with a compatible FC-phone, can usually add ~60% battery power in an hour.

Thanks again for your kind and detailed explanation. Great that you tried the options yourself.
About the version of Android i tried in the shop... I have no idea. How can you see what version of Android is installed?
But if an old version is installed, will it have the camera pro-mode if i upgrade to the 6.0 Android with 4.0 Emui? (See link: http://huafirmware.com/huawei-p8)
Was your device standard with the camera-pro mode installed when you bought it?

You can check which Android is installed in Settings > About phone > Android version.
Also make a note of the 'Build number' in the above screen - it'll be something like GRA-L09C432B200. From this we can usually determine which Marshmallow (Mm) build number you can directly update to if you choose to manually update (more about this when the time comes).
The camera was so much better than any phone I'd ever owned that I didn't bother to look for finer adjustments initially. Also, I updated to Mm almost immediately after getting the phone. But even then, I'm almost certain the pro settings only appeared after the Mm update. So yes, once you update to Mm, they'll be there.

Hello, i went to the shop again today. I played around with the camera again and looked up the serial codes of the phone. I took a picture of it.
Huawei GRA-L09
GRA-L09V100R001C652B120
I am so looking forward to this camera. Hope you can help me out with an optional update when i receive the phone.

That's good to hear. Did you forget to check the Android version? No problem as B120 (last 4 characters of build number) is definitely Lollipop.
B120 cannot be manually updated to the latest Mm firmware (probably B370), so before a manual update, it's recommended to check for an OTA one from within the phone itself at the following locations whilst connected to the internet (use your Wi-Fi connection, not data, as sometimes these downloads can be quite large):
Settings > Update > Check for updates
HiCare app > Me tab > Check for updates
HiCare app > Service tab > OS Upgrade Early Adopters
Click here if you need to download & install the Huawei HiCare app.

Thanks again. I checked the Android version, it's 5.0. I will probably order the P8 next week. I will try to update it through the unit itself. I have no wifi myself, so i will go to a public place to update it. After that inititial update, is it possible to update automatically to 6.0 or do you have to manually update it?

The initial OTA update may be to Mm (6.0) directly, but most likely not the latest build (B370).

Hey Hawker17, how are things going? Did you buy the phone? Update went ok? Camera working well?
Anyway, just came across this xda-thread today which I thought you may be interested in to showcase your clicking abilities: [PHOTO] Show your best P8 shots

Hello GaT7, i'm in the house again. My phone and camera are working great, but i still don't have the pro options. I'm still on the stock version B222. However, when i click update or try to update through the hi-care app, it says there are no updates available... Do you have any ideas?

Hi Hawker17, good to hear from you again.
That's one strange build number, but you're not alone: Update on Android 6 Build Nr B222
The op didn't return to say if he was able to solve it or not with the downgrade to B200 suggestion offered.
If he returns to say it has worked, do not follow the suggestion to update to B380 mentioned there as it was not official. Instead from B200, update to B370 next & then finally to B382.
----------------------
Btw, some time later I found what could be the camera's possible 'difference in quality' that some others have been talking about when updating from Lollipop to Mm. I had to downgrade to Lollipop B200 temporarily once (when an update went wrong) & was able to record the following differences:

Thanks for your reply. I immediately registered at the German site to ask him personally. I hope to hear from him and will post the answers here.
I also emailed Huawei Netherlands, why i couldn't update from B222 to 370. He said there are simply no updates available... but i know there are updates to B370 and like you said even 380/382.
If i am able to downgrade to B200, is it possible to update to B370 through the telephone (the software update) or via the hi-care app?
Good point you showed about the Image Stabilization. Do you remember which one was the wrong version?

That's not right, as both B370 & 382 are available - also both should come through via std OTA: Settings > Update.
If B370, doesn't come through, in say 10 days (& if you can wait that long), then it's easily manually updateable via the 'full B370 update' link I provided above.
It's recommended to further wait for B382 via OTA only, as forum posters have been providing only the OTA part of the update so far & not the full update (as they did for the B370), which is required for proper flashing.
B380 is the one that was not officially released (leaked really), which I've already mentioned not to install in my previous post.

Since is very difficult to obtain information about this model, I really don't know if it's just a feeling that you've got about the camera or it's really poorer...it's what happened to Honor 6x after updating to Nougat...
Why are you feeling that the camera is poorer....?

Thanks Adam, in your opinion do you still think that the beta version (7.8.7.24 beta) is better than this new stable version?

Excuse me Adam if I ask in this discussion, do you have news about the possibility that one day Oreo comes out for Meizu pro 6 plus?
Or do you already know that it will never come out?

It will get Flyme 8 for sure.Don't expect an android update.Chances are like drawing lines on water.

Not like that.Haha.Android 8 and above is confirmed only for 16 series now. And new 16s will come with flyme 8.So Only new model phones will get android updates not older ones.

Hello Adam,
I have installed this version and I have several issues, hope you can help me:
1. I can't install apps from Google play store while using cellular connection, only with wi-fi. I granted permission to use the data to the play store.
2. All of my purchased apps from Google are not recognized by the app and state that I have to buy the premium version.
3. My contacts in the Google account can't be synced (other info of google is synced)
When I installed this ROM I cleared the data
Thanks

After installation of google services via google installer,you need to allow all permissions of google apps names starting google in settings.Only open playstore after it.Uninstall services and do install again.Hope you got what i said.

Hi Adam!
I'm confused a bit about which ROM should I use. Currently I'm on stock 7.0.1.0G.
If I'm willing to upgrade which one should I use. There are quite a few options such as: 7.2.0.0A, 7.8.7.16G, 7.8.7.24A or even 7.8.8.9A.
I can't find a out whats are the differences. For sure all of them are Nougat based. but then...
Could you please guide me which one to pick?!
Thanks!

I need the original build.prop of the rom Flyme 7.2.0.0A Stable Final. I made many changes without a proper backup. If anyone can send me a copy, thank you.

Choose latest 7.2.0.0 A if your concern is about getting more stability and security patches.
Choose latest beta A if you want slight more battery backup.

I have some issue with 7.2.0.0A. I already installed it. But when I try to login into flyme account I get a message that I'm still loged in with another account and I have to logout with that first. I bought my Phone 2nd hand and the seller told me he removed this phone from his account.
The interesting thing that if I use the 7.0.1.0G than I can login with my own without any problem.
I'm still negotiating with the seller how could és solve this.
Do you have any idea how could I overcome this issue if I can't manage IT with the seller?
Thanks!

Login on flyme account using computer and change the password there. Once password changed you have to login everywhere again since all active sessions gone out.

Is there any way to install a altered ROM on this phone? If I add or delete anything from the official ROM then it states it is corrupt.
Or is it possible to install TWRP on it? I think with that maybe its possible to install some tweaked ROM.
Thanks

apparently there is no custom rom, twrp, xposed. what I recommend is to enable root and delete apps and system folders. I did and I gained more ram and less use of the processor in the background. and longer battery life

Never.It's not possible.Meizu will not allow us to unlock bootloader.
