Yes same here. Also the flash option is available ONLY in the 'auto' mode in camera. For other modes it's disabled.

Flash Issue
Hi check your camera settings, look into red-eye reduction setting. If it's ENABLE then switch it to DISABLE and that's it. For me it worked and now the pictures are good.

Yes that worked. Thanks a lot?

[Q] Camera Flash Problem

I noticed that every time i take a picure with flash, the flash triggers, the thumbnail appears to be taken with flash, but i go into the gallery and the pic is all black, like there was no flash triggered.
Does anyone know what this can be?
Thanks in advance.

tap the screen to focus before taking the picture... or else flash the photosphere zip package then you won't have the problem
Thank you, Kurt.

Yeah I know what you mean, this and some other weird stuff with the camera and with flash most (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472073)
I just take few pictures with flash and then choose the better one. @kurt.gomez - what do you mean by 'flash the photosphere zip package'?

Most ROMs don't come with the photoshpere capability built in cos that propritary Google stuff which is not yet open... so you need to flash a separate zip for that... can download it from the link below

Oos 2.2.1 raw?

So you can now shoot raw images with the camera, but how? I can't find any option for this

Swipe right on camera window and click on setting icon
You probably won't have much fun with it anyways - there's a new bug now in OOS 2.2.1 which has the camera freeze and force-close when the RAW setting is enabled I use Camera FV-5 which works without problems.

RAW mode works fine for me.
I dont understand why all software related bugs are not present in all op2 phones.

Video problem (focus hunts)

Does anyone else have a problem with video recording? No matter which app I use the camera hunts for focus occasionally resulting in the frame zooming in and out, or out and in, slightly. I can't manage to get more than 3/5 seconds of rock solid framing?
I have the same issue (LineageOS 14.1) and came here to ask which app I should use to avoid this problem!
This video shows the refocusing really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCcEp3oD4aY

Do you use the stock ROM or a custom ROM like I do?
Maybe ZTE will repair your phone?

It looks like your camera is refocussing a lot more frequently than mine!
I'm running the Stock ROM and camera app at the moment. I don't think it's a hardware problem as the camera does not refocuss when taking a still photo.
I can't have ZTE look at it as there's no service center in the UK (and I bought it from Gearbest).

You are right! :good: I changed the 'touch focus duration' in the LOS camera app from '0s' to 'infinite' and now the focus does only change if I click elsewhere!
There should a similar setting in the stock camera app!

I can't find such a setting in the stock camera app!
But I did find it in the Open Camera app!

Can you upload a screenshot of the video settings?
You mean 'Open Camera' (Camera App) - https://f-droid.org/app/net.sourceforge.opencamera? Which setting you changed? I had no refocussing without changing any setting.

Using Open Camera has fixed the problem for me!
The stock camera app only seems to have fixed focus settings for the stills camera!

To answer myself: The small icons in the menu represent the different focus modes! :good:

Yes it took a while to find the settings! The continuous autofocus setting ("c") causes my Mini to hunt for focus every 2/3 seconds. All the other settings work as expected with no hunting.
Doh! I've just found that you can lock focus and exposure using the Stock camera app! You just need to long press on the target circle after you have selected the object you want to focus on.

Once locked you can choose another object to focus another and it will lock focus on that without having to long press again.

How to use the third camera?

I was wondering, If I install a custom ROM such as Lineage how do I take pictures from the third camera? That one with a wider lens behind the phone.
As you can see in the image attached, that is what I mean. I tried to find apps in the playstore but none of them offers me the option to use this wide angle camera.
This is still my first matter before moving to a new ROM.
Thanks.

Alright it turns out to be a software problem, the third camera is only accessible through the stock ROM with the stock camera.
I tried using Open Camera which recognizes three cameras but it doesn't take pics from the third one. I will wait for the OneUI 2 update from Samsung to see whether it'll be solved or not.

I've solved the riddle.
If you compare the field of view between std and pano, they are the same.
Go to settings, camera API
Activate camera 2api
Now compare the std and the pano.
The pano uses the wide angle (3rd) camera.
Edit; this doesn't work of you are running OneUI.
Only from a gsi
@physwizz your idea is good but OpenCamera still doesn't recognize it.
As you can see in the image attached bellow, the app knows that there are three cameras and if I keep switching between them it passes over three cameras' id's and none of them is the wide-angle camera. Well, I am using lineage with the reapper kernel. Which one were you using when it worked?

sorry,
You must be right.
It looked like I was getting wide angle but I had the resolution set differently on the std.
My mistake.
