Bokeh is great and the best is the second camera being a wide angle lens. This is amazing for landscape!
Score to dxomark= 90 so very good APN.

Gcam for zenfone 5Z?
Hi guys! I find that the stock camera is ok in the daylight. During the night or without much lights there is a lot of distortion (which is, of course, quite popular for every smartphone). So I want to try Gcamera for the 5Z.

Well, with Gcam you can take awesome pictures in daylight and low light conditions, but during night ASUS camera is better (especially awesome if you have a tripod).

You need this gcam: GCam from BSG v. 5.2.022_1.0
Unfortunately you can't use the wide angle camera with GCam.

The main camera is okay. The wide angle lens is quite poor in quality. I tried both. The wide angle lens has noticeable pixelation on the sides like it's a photo quality from a 2012 flagship. Kinda disappointed with it actually.
Wide angle one is also good in quality...not like the primary camera but still wide angle camera held it's own

Potrait mode producing picture with absurd hue
Anyone notice the zf5 front camera doesn't have AF feature ? or is it just mine ? and it's super over exposure makes it quite laggy
Previously I was iPhone user, if i compare the camera ZF5 have too much artificial intelegent smoothing retouch on human skin even when I'm not using beauty mode and it's kinda fake in compare to my iPhone 6
Go to camera settings and verify that 'continuous AF' option is checked.
I have tried almost every G cam available but all gives tint-blue/purple colour. I have also tried Gcams for OP6 with tint fixes but they force close in my asus zenfone 5z. Any help ?

I haven't noticed anything in camera after the recent update (build ww_80.11.37.95.20180727), it was just a 65mb OTA. Everything still same except battery life. Battery backup seems to be screwed, not sure if there was some bug.

Ah, so bad! xD
Soooo much noise and artifact in those shots, resolved detail not very good either.
That said, looks like HTCs best camera ever (apart from perhaps the Mozart with its Xenon Flash, but I haven't seen many examples from that handset yet).
I think that mobile phones' cameras are not for the ones who are obsessed with photo quality.
I am sure long years I will prefer to carry a DSLR camera even though I have got a 8 mp camera integrated phone.
i agree buying a phone based on its camera is silly, the only time i have ever used my phone camera was when i got a parking ticket so i took photos of the signage and my car wrote a letter to the council and got off without having to pay
if i know im going to take photos i just take my DSLR

More photos..............
Any chance in taking an evening shot (sunset/sunrise) without flash.
Also if possible another two low light shots with and without flash (basically the same shot for comparison on how well the camera handles low lighting with & without a flash).
Cheers.
Ouch those shots are really poor in terms of quality, noise, too strong noisereduction, chromatic abberation and hell everything.
I'm afraid Nokia N8 wins this round.

You don't need to be obsessed with photo quality to demand more from your mobile phone camera than the Desire HD is offering though. For many of us the camera is quite an important consideration because day to day photography with our phones is part of our regular use (most of us don't carry a DSLR all the time, eh?). Its nice to have shots that are 'good enough' for that kind of casual photography, and many other non-HTC phones offer that.
I won't, and haven't ever, based a decision to buy a phone solely on the camera, but certainly its a consideration, more important for some of us than others (but you can't dictate to others how they come to a decision to get a phone or not).
Hey XZP owners is there any 3rd party camera apps which supports 19 mp full resolution setting. I already tried fv-5 and better camera but showing only 8 mp maximum resolution.
Open Camera is pretty much the best camera app in the store imo.

You mean this one
Sent from my G8141 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It's only 8.3 MP if you use 3rd party software. Reason is Sonys pathetic, no self-esteem move to LIMIT the API-2 interface to 8.3 in case 3rd party apps are being used.
Just so you understand this: You paid for a phone and Sony LITERALLY FREAKING TELLS YOU what software to use with it. They actually block it. And the best part of it, they don't even get their own freakin software straight.
I was so looking forward to this phone, seriously. Now I'm going to sell it, hope some dude pays ~650 $ and get me an S8 or HTC. Never ever ever again Sony. This is so so so ridiculous.
Return it and stop complaining.

Nothing to enjoy here. Camera MX does not offer Camera API-2 support and hence can't make use of manual exposure or ISO settings. It's not about using "some" 3rd party app but making use of the cameras potential.

Only if you have flashed AOSP (well maybe it works on stock but then there is no difference in image quality). The images are much sharper, have more detail and in low light they are a bit brighter. HOWEVER, you lose the noise reduction so there is a lot of noise in the images. You can correct this with an app like lightroom, but thats a lot of work if you just want to take a quick photo of something.
I've made some test photo's with AOSP and google camera a while ago. It was a lot darker when I took the bicycle photo's than the images suggest, but zoom in and you see the amount of detail (and noise) it has.

now tested in daylight, there is isnt real difference in speed to take picture.
by my opinion bsg doesnt have so vivid colours as arnova. some difference in details for some pictures in favour to arnova in some to bsg
faster in low light conditions in general with bsg, better colours with arnova.

Can you give us a link for the version that works for you? I can't find it and i would really like hdr+ on the stock rom. Thx
I tried in bad light and good light. With HDR, with night settings, nothing changed. Only manual setting allow to choose second lens 20mpx and give better light.
How do I know ?
I made picture on auto mode in described situations. One photo with covered ultrapixel lens by my finger, and second without finger on lens. No differences. Photos looks the same. Maybe software is broken. Now second lens is not used...
Maybe in 6X work better?
Yes, it's the same here.
I saw that the app is not saving the original photo
Same here (both problems). I think we need a SW update for this to be fixed.
I also find it frustrating that I can't set the resolution of the photo.
Also, the front facing camera can do [email protected] using Open Camera, but the stock camera app doesn't allow it.
These things should be submitted via the feedback app, but I don't have a Xiaomi account and don't want to create one.
It's my first Xiaomi and I'm disappointed with the camera, It does not deliver what it promises
Obviously the 2nd camera (20mp) is being used! Nevermind the subject...just a quick shot, but if you look at the info the pic is 20.1 MP which is the secondary camera used for depth and low light. And this was taken in quite a dark room.

Do you remember which camera settings this shot was set to? I mean was it 'photo' and 'hht'? Or maybe the 'manual' with low light lens selected?
I guess we're still trying to figure out how this app is 'suppose' to work, as we don't know if it's doing as it should or not!
But for sure, there are some great capabilities here, I took this indoors (last night), after the sept update, very realistic colors and awesome details.
The 20mp sensor is used for depth and for low light only. Switch to portrait mode and it will use the 20mp sensor because it is measuring and capturing depth. In low light it uses it to measure the pixels then transforms 4 pixels into 1 for a cleaner image. It is then output as a 12mp image.
The pic I took was using portrait mode.
here's the reason.
This will only be available in the future. Maybe Android p?

So 20/4 is 12?

It is not 20/4, it is the pixel count and it's not a division.

How would you bin then? Each four pixels make up a huge new "pixel". Of course this is a division by four..
I had issue when trying to take photo in landscape orientation and in low light. I tried several times and every time photo was blurry. In portrait orientation (not mode) picture was just fine. My hand was not shaky. It was with august fw. Ill try tonight same scene with September update. Don't know if anyone else noticed this...

I'm not here for a math debate, I'm simply trying to explain how the cameras work...
"The 20MP module also has 4-to-1 pixel binning to reduce noise levels in low-light shots, with the camera essentially combining information from four pixels into one to create a more detailed image."

Yes but the resulting pixel count will be of course 5MP hence 4 to 1..

At least I know what I am talking about. What else should 4 to one mean in your opinion?

People like you ruin this community. At least I'm contributing something useful to the conversation in trying to explain the cameras and how they are used. And just so you know, I'm a photographer and downsampling isn't the same as your brilliant theory of 20/4. Have a nice day.

Stop being personal. A 4 to 1 pixel binning will result in a 5MP image when starting from 20. How this will be upsampled and combined with the 12MP sensor one is not what I am talking about and obviously is not happening anyway right now. So what's your point if your explanation is obviously wrong?
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
