[Q] How do you set the still camera to 640x480 resolution and image editing question?

Hello, I only just got the HTC ONE mini yesterday and just trying to get to grips with a couple of things, mainly the stills camera. I can see in the setting you can change the video resolution but I cannot for the life of me see where you can lower the resolution of the camera say if i want to shoot in 1024x768 or 640x480 - can anyone point me in the right direction please.
Also when I have taken the photo how can i go and adjust the brightness and colour and contrast and sharpness of the photo before sharing it using the inbuilt htc camer app rather than having to download snapseed or another post processing app? - I have tried 'edit' and then 'retouch' but rather than sliders for brightness contrast and saturation etc it just gives skin smooth face lighting face contour etc but no control of photo brightness or anything else - thanks for any help.

G Pro 2 photo and video samples with original download

I've got my hands on one of these beauties. Very nice phone, great camera. Here are some photo and video samples I've taken from today. I've also included what all review sites like gsmarena missed. Some low light video and photos.
The OIS is even better than the G2. Good work LG for turning there camera's around the Optimus G camera was average, this is great.

I was using Note 3 and now G Pro 2.
Personally, the default value of 0 in the Brightness setting of the camera is a little bit to bright resulting in a little bit of washed out photo especially on the lighted area of a photo. (on the wall, street and building light).
So, if I set the Brightness value to -1, then the photo taken will be as accurate as the naked eyes see. :good:
The problem is that the changed value to -1 does not stick (cannot be saved). The value will go back to 0 again once you quit your camera app.
I would think that the -1 value in the Brightness setting should be set as the default value to produce a accurate color as you see with your naked eyes.
I think LG needs to fix this, to change -1 as a default value instead of 0, so to speak.
What do you say?
I attached 2 photos below. The 2nd photo (with -1 in Brightness setting) is what I see with my naked eyes, It is so accurate in color reproduction).
Photo 01 (Brightness = 0 - default value) - NORMAL Mode:
Photo 02 (Brightness = -1) - NORMAL Mode:

[PUBG] Explananation of Settings USERCUSTOM.ini

Particularly on Android, PUBG Mobile can be quite taxing on the your phone hardware capping framerate and visual quality to the point where it looks and plays absolutely disastrous. Lower framerate limits your reflexes even during the fast and frantic action moments and poor visual fidelity blinds you from detecting your enemy giving you an unfair disadvantage and thus, lowering down your ratings. This guide aims to provide you with a brief explanation of all the settings that you are provided in the game so that you can tinker them as per your needs. Keep in mind that there do exist multiple applications which fulfill the same purpose albeit none of which allow you to tweak settings in the most minute detail that this guide would enable you to.
r.UserQualitySetting
This setting allows you to select from the default performance presets that the game provides you.
Ranges : 1-Smooth, 2-Balanced, 3-HD, 4-HDR, 5-Ultra HD
This setting is dominant which implies that selecting one of the presets would automatically assign predefined levels of quality to texture, shadow, anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, foliage quality etc.
Set this setting to 0 as smooth in order to finely adjust qualities in the coming settings.
r.UserShadowSwitch
This is a toggle setting which either turns on or off rendering of shadows of all game objects based on your preference. Game objects liable of rendering their own shadows include trees, buildings, bushes, vehicles, debris, player models, zombies and other dominant entities except for grass and other small foliage which disappears (get culled) when the player is beyond a certain range of distance.
Ranges : 0-Turn ON shadow rendering, 1-Turn OFF shadow rendering
r.ShadowQuality
This setting allows changing the quality of the shadows (as said by the name itself) of all game objects. It requires the previous setting to enabled to function as usual.
Ranges :
0-Render Under-Foot Shadows (The shadow is displayed constantly below the game object and does not depend on the position of directional sunlight) (Inherited in Smooth preset)
1-Render Pixelated Shadows (Depends on the position of directional sunlight) (Inherited in Balanced preset)
2-Render Anti-Aliased Pixelated Shadows ((Depends on the position of directional sunlight) (Inherited in HD preset)
3-Render Polygon Shadows (Depends on the position of directional sunlight) (Inherited in HDR preset)
4-Render Anti-Aliased Polygon Shadows (Depends on the position of directional sunlight) (Inherited in Ultra HD preset)
5-Render Fine Shadows (Depends on the position of directional sunlight) (Looks Ultra-Realistic but GPU-Intensive so Try at your own risk)
r.MobileContentScaleFactor
This setting allows you to change in-game resolution. Keep in mind that the game is designed predominantly for screens with 16:9 aspect ratio so people with newer phones may experience some space left unoccupied and left free towards the sides as a placeholder for notification bar and in-display navigation bar. The factor scales both UI and game elements.
Ranges : Varied ranges based on how powerful your phone GPU is
0.75 - 960x540 Lowest sanely possible resolution
1.00 - 1280x720 Reference resolution scale
1.125 - 1440x810 Looks way better than reference resolution scale
1.25 - 1600x900
1.50 - 1920x1080
2.00 - 2560x1440 Useless while upscaled on 1080p displays
r.PUBGLDR
No information about this setting is present as of now. Any help is appreciated.
Framerate Settings
Allows selecting permissible framerate limit at that particular predefined performance preset. The higher the values, the more responsive your gameplay would be. Be aware that any value specified beyond the possible refresh rate of your device display is useless as it would get capped to the highest possible rate of your screen which is 60Hz for most of us. Owners of ASUS ROG Phone and Razer Phone can have fun with ultra-responsive gameplay using this setting by going as high as 90 and 120 respectively.
r.PUBGDeviceFPSLow for Smooth preset Ranges : Define framerate in numbers. (I would select 60 for a responsive gameplay experience)
r.PUBGDeviceFPSMid for Balanced preset Ranges : Define framerate in numbers. (I would select 60 for a responsive gameplay experience)
r.PUBGDeviceFPSHigh for HD preset Ranges : Define framerate in numbers. (I would select 60 for a responsive gameplay experience)
r.PUBGDeviceFPSHDR for HDR and Ultra HD presets Ranges : Define framerate in numbers. (I would select 60 for a responsive gameplay experience)
r.MobileHDR
This setting allows for tweaking high dynamic range color display. It requires a device with a display which is capable of reproducing HDR content. It is set to 0.0 by default which corresponds to the fact that HDR is disabled. You can read more about this graphical fidelity here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range. No further information about this setting is present as of now. Any help is appreciated.
r.Mobile.SceneColorFormat
This setting allows for tweaking for the display of graphics in specific color palette. It requires a device with a display which is capable of reproducing color image pipeline content. It is set to 0.0 by default which corresponds to the fact that the current graphics correspond to the RGB color palette. You can read more about this graphical fidelity here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_image_pipeline. No further information about this setting is present as of now. Any help is appreciated.
r.UserHDRSetting
This setting is redundant if r.MobileHDR is turned off. No further information about this setting is present as of now. Any help is appreciated.
r.ACESStyle
No information about this setting is present as of now. Any help is appreciated.
r.UserMSAASetting
This setting allows for toggling Multi-Sampling Anti-Aliasing for both in-game textures and models. For beginners, this technology aims to reduce jagged edges around objects by creating decreased alpha samples of the pixels at certain boundary threshold as decided by the video game designer.
Ranges :
0 - Disabled MSAA
1 - Enabled MSAA
r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing
This setting is enabled by default for tweaking capabilities of FXAA (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing) which predominantly uses RAM and is not as taxing as MSAA is. Even this technology reduces jagged edges around objects but the technology is slightly different from the former as this requires almost no processing power but in the downside it also makes the edges looks a bit blurrier.
Ranges :
0 - Disabled FXAA
1 - FXAA enabled. Only texture anti-aliasing.
2 - FXAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (2 concurrent samples)
3 - FXAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (3 concurrent samples) (Inherited in Smooth preset)
4 - FXAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (4 concurrent samples) (Inherited in Balanced and HD presets)
5 - FXAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (5 concurrent samples) (Inherited in HDR and Ultra HD presets)
r.MobileMSAA
This setting allows for toggling Multi-Sampling Anti-Aliasing for UI and textures only. This is generally enabled by default and helps making the UI, weapon paintjobs, vehicle stains etc. look more polished and realistically smooth. It is slightly more taxing and GPU intensive than FXAA but it produces nearly sharp results.
Ranges :
0 - Disabled MSAA for UI and texture meshes
1 - Enabled MSAA for UI and texture meshes
r.MSAACount
This setting allows for tweaking Multi-Sampling Anti-Aliasing for UI and textures only by selecting the number of concurrent samples displayed on the screen for a particular UI or texture element at that period of time. Higher values can potentially smooth edges even on a lower rendering resolution. This requires the previous setting to be enabled to function.
Ranges :
0 - Disabled MSAA (UE4 Low Preset)
2 - MSAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (2 concurrent samples) (UE4 Medium Preset)
4 - MSAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (4 concurrent samples) (UE4 High Preset) (Inherited in Smooth and Balanced presets)
6 - MSAA enabled. Both texture and model edge anti-aliasing. (5 concurrent samples) (UE4 Epic Preset) (Inherited in HD, HDR and Ultra HD presets)
r.MaterialQualityLevel
This setting allows for tweaking the texture quality of certain elements of the game. As of now, PUBG Mobile lets you select from only two presets.
Ranges :
0 - Normal (UE4 Low Preset) (Inherited in Smooth and Balanced presets)
How good are normal quality textures? Certain texture elements are omitted and there is less variety. Stains, mud, rocks etc. textures are repeated more often. Most buildings have single color LOD and meshes. It is fast but not exactly visually appealing. Bullet hole mesh either do not render at all or disappear pretty fast to save GPU memory.
1 - High (UE4 High Preset) (Inherited in HD, HDR and Ultra HD presets)
How good are high quality textures? Lesser texture elements are omitted and there is more variety. Stains, mud, rocks etc. textures are repeated less often making a near photo-realistic experience. Most buildings have single color LOD with detailed stains and meshes. It is slightly slower but more visually appealing. There are different bullet hole mesh renders for different bullet caliber shots with believable depth which disappear a bit slower leaving behind stains to save GPU memory and look realistic at the same time.
This post is a W.I.P. As I go on studying more about these triggers from the Scalability Reference of UE4 engine, I will keep you posted about different functions and their importance. If you are wondering how to use these, you can visit https://tulisae.com/pubgmobile-config-editor/ where you have a detailed and helpful tool of editing the settings file. The common path for the settings file is : Storage/Android/data/com.tencent.ig/files/UE4Game/ShadowTrackerExtra/ShadowTrackerExtra/saved/config/Android/UserCustom.ini. Upload this to the aforesaid link and decode it before editing. Do not forget to encode it back after your edits are complete.
Also, if you are aware of any settings that I have specified about but left undetailed, kindly add them in the comments below. That goes without saying that if you find anything incorrect above, kindly let know of corrections so that they may be addressed soon for the better.
Thank you,

Long-press on G-Cam icon > Info > See More > Permissions > Files and Media > Allow management of all files
For info about XML features and tuning, please read the changelog upon loading the configuration file!
Shasta is a bracketing mode capable of merging multiple frames of different exposures. Affects noise, controls shadows and allows for a wider dynamic range. Works only with Camera and Portrait (capturing is prolonged while active)
Some basic rules for better understanding of shasta in good light versus low light:
a) in good light, shasta generates more details, but may also add more noise
b) in low light, shasta generates more details, but reduces noise by a large margin
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the viewfinder for a better exposure. Focusing manually will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure the subject will be well exposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on your face and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
∆ EIS works only on 1080p ~Auto/30fps videos using ‹IMX586 QBC HDR Mode› video stream which is set by default for back camera. Only compatible with ‹Standard› and ‹Locked› stabilization modes ∆
For ‹Active› and ‹Cinematic Pan› make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
For recording 60fps videos make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹Video HSR 60› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
For recording 4K videos make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu. For smoother 4K videos HEVC must be disabled from Advanced menu ~ 60fps not supported
NOTE: Some ROMs do not support video streams for back camera and/or front camera. If there are issues with Video mode, make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
To prevent slow-motion focus hunting issues, tap to focus on the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider ~ 1/8 not supported
For Astro mode there is a dedicated ‹Astrophotography On› button which can be enabled from Night Sight drop-down menu
{ AWB On } { Focus » infinity } { Timer » 3sec }
For faster photos with HDR+ Enhanced, set Image Quality to ‹Auto› (alternatively standard HDR+ can be used)
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off Ram Patcher from Advanced menu and set Image Quality to ‹Auto› (alternatively standard HDR+ can be used or turned off completely)
IMPORTANT: A clean install is always recommended prior to using Google-Camera in order to avoid possible functionality issues with the app! First uninstall all G-Cam apps currently found on your system » install G-Cam » open it and grant permissions » close G-Cam » clear G-Cam data and cache » open G-Cam and apply the settings/config » reboot device
ABOUT 48MP RESOLUTION: True 48MP is not currently supported on any G-Cam mod due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. This mode is only supported in MIUI Camera. On few devices this hindrance has been tackled via Magisk modules which override that limitation. But on mid-range devices it isn't a viable solution because 48MP coupled with HDR+ will basically freeze the Google-Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. There are some older 6.x.x G-Cam versions which support a 48MP resolution on portrait mode, but it is just an upscaled resolution and not the real deal

This feature does not work on our device due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. And even if this limitation can be overcome, there will be serious performance issues because 48MP coupled with HDR+ Enhanced will basically freeze the Google Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. Google Camera is not designed to work with such high resolutions. Even on the few devices where it does work, it causes huge lags and also the viewfinder is significantly cropped.

This is ANX (MIUI) Camera, so of course 48MP mode works fine. It doesn't work with GCam.

The photos from front camera are turning me into an Avatar character. I guess the channels are getting exchanged? RGB <-> BGR ? the live camera preview is ok but the clicked photos are coming out to be so

This is due to color filter arrangement which is set to <RGGB> by default. Changing it to <Auto> will solve the problem. Better yet, use the XML config provided on 1st page.

Try it and see if it's good enough for you.

Hi
Just a few things I noticed. Sometimes the location data is not saved, the logs cannot be disabled. It keeps logging regardless of the settings. Other than this and the known limitations it's a good port.
L. E. : another issue that I found is that sometimes the camera doesn't take the picture. It focuses, when I click the shutter it seems to take the picture, but nothing is saved. I can't reproduce it. It happens randomly.
Cheers!

Has anyone tried Gcam version 8?

When I try to record video, after 2 seconds the app freezes.

Yes, I am using Evolution X android 11 ROM. Sometimes it's recodring without any issues but sometimes only the first time when I start recording it freezes and says "Can't record audio. Other app is using the microphone." then i start recording for second time without problems.

NOTE: Switching between configs does not require rebooting!
AWB is disabled by default to ensure a straightforward and hassle-free user experience. Suits all indoor and outdoor conditions by rendering accurate image temperature and colors whether shooting in natural or artificial lighting
AWB On (Auto) is suitable for shooting in particular outdoor conditions where a cooler image temperature is needed. Great for capturing foliage with dark-blueish greens and generally recommended for blue colors. Especially suitable for cloudy weather and useful for framing the blue sky with a mass of water in one shot. Not suitable for capturing warm colors such as light-greens or yellow colors in general and great for neutralizing sunlight
NOTE: PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE XML CHANGELOG FROM MODS CONFIGS CREATOR!
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder for a better exposure. Manually focusing on the center of the viewfinder will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure the subject won't be underexposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on the center of your face and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
For faster photos with HDR+ Enhanced, set Image Quality to ‹Off› or use standard HDR+ instead of Enhanced
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off ‹Use Sabre› from advanced menu, turn off lib patcher from Mods Configs Creator and set Image Quality to ‹Off›
For smoother 4K videos HEVC must be disabled from advanced menu ~ 60fps not supported
To eliminate focus hunting issues while recording a slow-motion video, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider ~ 1/8 not supported
[ Night Sight Astrophotography ]
For Astro mode there is a dedicated ‹Astrophotography On› button which can be selected from Night Sight drop-down menu
For best astrophotography results, set ‹Samsung S5KHMX› as AWB model for back camera from Mods Configs Creator and select ‹AWB On› button from Night Sight drop-down menu
{ Focus » infinity } { Timer » 3sec }

Question Samsung A-12 moon photos

I recently purchased an A-12 and want to take photos of the moon but they are very grainy, blurred.
Can anyone advise me me on the correct settings to use ?
Thanks in advance.......

So I watched a YT video on the subject, the guy said when you increase the ISO setting you should increase the shutter speed as well.
When I go into Pro mode I can only see 3 buttons - ISO, WB and another that has a slider from -2 ~ +2, I think it's something to do with brightness.
How do I adjust the shutter speed ?
Thanks in advance.....

In general, as long as you are able to set ISO you don't need to worry about shutter speed, it is adjusted automatically according to the scene brightness. Just set ISO to a smaller value and you'll have low noise and low shutter speeds, which, or course, cause the moving things to blur much more, so either a tripod or 4-axis optical stabilization is compulsory for sharp low-shutter-speed/long-exposure pictures. A12 does not have any optical stabilization at all, so you have to use a tripod. Also I recommend to set the exposure adjustment (it's the +/- slider) to a lower value to bring up details on the moon, otherwise it can look totally white.

Just set ISO to a smaller value and you'll have low noise and low shutter speeds, which, or course, cause the moving things to blur much more, so either a tripod or 4-axis optical stabilization is compulsory for sharp low-shutter-speed/long-exposure pictures. A12 does not have any optical stabilization at all, so you have to use a tripod. Also I recommend to set the exposure adjustment (it's the +/- slider) to a lower value to bring up details on the moon, otherwise it can look totally white.

Thanks very much uluruman, I will try that......

why you buy a lowcost device for that?
