Does anybody have problems with camera during small distance operations like bar code or qr code reading. It is almost impossible to read those codes with my device. I have 9020 model
Tried to change focus to "macro" in camera settings?
Helps a bit.
So basicly the way that camera works is a feature ?
Well, if your barcode reader app can't read the barcode I'd blame the app.
If you meant that you can't read the barcode details (numbers) on a picture you have taken then this _might_ be because of the focus setting (macro vs .automatic). Also remember to set to 5mp, not below. In the end NxS' camera isn't the best in the smartphone market, but one of the better. It's still no match to today's pure camera shots.

Hi All,
This is my first post.
I purchased HTC-Desire-700-709d - Asia India version. The phone is absolutely brilliant especially after price slash down from MSRP.
The stock camera is doing fine, except for too much of noise reduction leading to some smudgy edges.
So i tried third party apps on Play store. To my surprise, the apps are able to access only 4MP out ot 8MP.
When I checked through Hardware info's, they are also showing only 4MP.
Is this a problem with the apps in accessing full camera spec, or any problem with the device. The stock camera app is doing fine with 8MP shots.
Could you please provide me with a solution on how to unlock this.
Also, when I tried to adjust size of the picture, the app crashes. This happened with all available camera apps on store.
Looking for a solution form the members.
Cheers
DroneJC.
Any body please!!! Reply on this
Hi all
Please any developer, reply with a solution, if this has really 4MP camera, then i would rather fire HTC for cheating!!!

Hello,
I'm wonder if is possible to introduce in the cam app, the real autofocus and movement autofocus.
What I am talking about is: If we see the cam app of Galaxy S5, the focus is always running without requiring a click.
If I move the camera, the focus run automatically, without interference from the user as well.
It really is a feature that is missing in the application. Sure would be useful for users, because it would be possible to take pictures much faster.
1.2Q: Anyone know how to or can suggest this feature to the Cyanogen for a future update?
I read somewhere (not sure where) that third party camera apps can not use the full potential of the dual-camera. Only the stock app can do that - not quite sure but I rememeber something that it can't access the 20MP black&white sensor or something.
Is this correct?
I would say that most third-party software was coded with one sensor in mind. I don't own a Mate 9, but I do know a bit about combining two images in one (binning) and photography. They are highly specialized actions, that require specially made software.
Dual lens appears to be the trend. Might go to the play store, send an email to the camera FV-5 folks. They've always been fast to respond
to my questions. I'm not really "interested" in dual lens cameras on phones. I use it for quick snapshots of things I work on (electronics).
for everything else, I defer to my dSLR.
So I have been thinking, in a few years, when everyone gets new phones, with new features. How are we going to edit the pictures taken with Wide Aperture mode (fake bokeh)? The only app able to change the depth of field of the picture is the stock gallery app by Huawei/honor that came with the phone.
Google photos DOES save the information to be edited later (but there is no way to edit them on Google photos app as far as I can tell).
So if a year later you restore photos to this phone and try to edit them, you can, but only with the stock gallery app.
Anyone here know of any 3rd party software on Windows desktop, and or on the web or android that can do this? So we don't have to be reliant on the Gallery app from Huawei in case we change phones later on.
Thanks.
You can't really change the aperture on phones as the aperture is fixed to f2 or bit more. What Google and Huawei and all the other do, is to approximate the behaviour by blurring the background in a postprocessing step. The better they detect foreground and background, the better this illusion works. But it's never a real bokeh.

I am well aware how this camera works, i am a part time photographer, This was not my question! my question was if there is an external source or app that allows us to edit these kinds of photos as the gallery app does, to refocus after we take the pics using the wide aperture mode.
I think that what Huawei does with their gallery app is a bit proprietary.

So basically after a few years if we want to edit these pictures it would either be impossible with another brand of phone, or might perhaps be possible if we keep buying huawei phones, with this feature, which is not a sure thing.
Yes I think so. But I didn't investigate on this topic. At least one can still open the Jpeg as the depth information is somewhat in it.
Unfortunately no third party apps that can do this.
Maybe if someone can port the gallery app, that will work!
Hi, everyone.
I don't know if it is possible to tweak them but for the past few years I am too worried about the setting available in budget android devices.
I am still a student and can't afford expensive smartphones. I love everything in Samsung's devices but their limited setting in pro mode bother me.
My question is that is it anyhow possible to change setting to allow the shutter speed to go up till 10 seconds or 30 seconds?
Budget phones from Samsung only allow limited number of camera setting like ISO, white balance and exposure in pro mode, but I want to change the shutter speed and manually change the focus.
My phones are Samsung Galaxy J6(J600G) and Galaxy A5 Duos (A500G).
Is there any way possible so that I can take a long exposure picture of 10 seconds or so?
I have tried many applications from Camera FV-5, manual camera and OpenCamera etc.
Camera FV-5 allow long exposure up to 60s but does not work and there is no difference in stock camera picture and camera Fv-5 picture.
Manual Camera and OpenCamera allow shutter of up to only 1/8 s. It doesn't work even after enabling camera 2 API in OpenCamera setting.
Any help will be appreciated.
I would also like to know the reason for it if it is not possible to do so. Does hardware limit some settings or camera module or anything like that.
HELP PLEASE

IDK about your device, but on my S10, the stock Samsung camera app allows to set manual focus and shutter time up to 30 second in Pro mode - see my screenshot.
AFAIK those settings are not limited by hardware, but more limited by the software/what features the manufacturer (Samsung) exposes to be used by the user or other camera apps.

Have a habit of reading the query thoroughly. Anyway, congratulations because S10 is a budget smartphone for you.

Thanks for your advice. I just wanted to give additional context information for my screenshots. Nothing more.
And I posted only because (after more than a month and about 74 views) no one else replied to your "query". Sometimes it helps to "push" a thread to be seen and replied by other users (with the "right" device and/or solution).
