[Q] Camera2 ( new ) API?

Hi,
I was wondering when will we have support for camera2 api. This is the new API with more manual settings like the manual focus and a lot of new things.
I have CM 12 Nightlies installed but there is no support yet.
Thanks!

I'm not sure why you are wanting this. You realize to that the camera on C11 has absolutely everything camera2 enables, right? Sure 3rd party apps don't allow this except for fv-5, but they doesn't support Clear Image either. What is it your wanting that we don't have?

FV-5
I have cm12 20150116 in my OPO and camera FV-5 and cinema FV-5 installed.
No support for manual focus or 4K video so no camera2 API in the phone.
Hope to see drivers updated soon.

Camera FV-5 doesn't support RAW either. Only Camera Next from Cyanogen does.

Manual Camera not supported. It requires the Cam 2 API.

Manual camera is the best camera app on android (if you don't care about video). Not selling my nexus 5 for this solo reason

Camera vs. P9?

Any details on how the camera - software, hardware, processing is vs the P9?

I do not have P9 personally but reviews and spec details of the two phones should give a somehow overview. I'm sure there is some vs. reviews out

I've seen pocketnow's review about honor 8's camera, performs the same as the p9 and they called it great.

Honor 8 lacks RAW capture in stock camera (unlike the P9 which has it) but can do RAW with 3rd party camera software.

If it supports RAW images then yes. I look through the specs and see if it supports it.

The P9 can capture B&W picture whereas the Honor 8 cannot

Does capturing in black and white vs adding a black and white filter post look different? Or shooting with the monochrome filter on?

On the P9, the monochrome camera can be used with the color one or alone. On the Honor 8, it can only used with the color one, not alone.

Would P9 RAW and B&W be available by installing the P9's camera app on the Honor 8?

I don't know about native monochrome, but RAW is available when using another camera app.

Mate9 3d facial detection

So any chance that huawei mate 9 will get 3d facial detection feature and potrait mode for better blur effect like p10? Im getting hyped of this new feature ?
Can some one of xda member port camera app of P10 for Mate 9?

Maybe we will get it with future updates.

I hope so, P10 camera is same as Mate9 have, I think its possible to port the camera app of P10 to mate9, why to wait for updates then

By all means do it then.

Can you please tell more about the lens you are using ?

Really nice photos! i started to follow you.
Could i ask you to explain the workflow for one of those pictures? I do use Snapseed too but I'm a noob. I'm interested in the "blue" plant, how did you created a pastel background and focus foreground?

Hi sure bro, it's the Apexel 24x macro lens. It has 2 12x lenses that stack up to make the 24x. I just use the one 12x as it produces the most natural looking bokeh.

Sure no probs. I start off by adding the preset faded glow. Then I open the levels tool, adjust the images exposure and so on. Then I color correct. I usually put about 14 to the blue side. And then tint is +15 to the magenta side. Then I use the spot tool to adjust specific features in the image. Very helpful tool. Then I go to the structure and sharpening tool and bring the structure down a tiny just enough to make the bokeh a little smoother but not to much to take away detail. Then I put the sharpness up to about 40. The vintage preset number 6 is the one that gives you that enhanced yellows and blues you are talking about. But I would suggest adjusting it a bit so it doesn't over saturate and noise up the picture. Then I go to the spot tool again and fix any objects darkened by the vignette that the vintage presets apply. And I'm done. Just export. Hope this helped. Sorry if it was a bit confusing. I'm not to good at explaining things ?but I try

And the reason I do the color correction like I did was to enhance the blues and oranges to help out the number 6 preset. So it really makes the colors pop.

Hi, your photos usually look nice, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the non-natural colors. However, I've notice that usually the focus on your pictures is "bad": there is no area where the focus is made properly, on some pictures the whole picture looks blury. Doesn't it bother you? Is it part of your art?
Pic1: it looks like you tried to focus on the two grapes on the left, but they're not really in focus, if you zoom just a little it's blurry.
Pic2: it's all blurry again. The ant is half very blurried half blurried. Same for the flower, the white petals are not as blurry as the rest but they still are.
Pic3: it's better, the middle of the flower seems in focus
Pic4: much better as well, espcially the fly renders so well.
I've made myself the same observations on the previous pictures you sent in the gcam thread. I don't mean to offense you but I'd like to read your point of view. Cheers.

Well bare in mind that xda compresses the image to like 100kb. So lots of loss in picture quality. As does Instagram. But to be honest sharpness isnt always the most important thing. It's composition, lighting and also just how the picture generally makes you feel. An image for me is telling a story. You don't need every detail to tell a great story. You need someone to feel it. It has to envoke an emotion And for me that's what inspires me in my art form. I'm sure it's just different for you. And you value different aspects of a photo.
But thank you for your feedback back. I appreciate it.

You're welcome, I hope it wasn't too harsh. But yeah, it just disturbs me when there is no focus point and then I can't think of anything else and hence, appreciate anything else.

Hi it's not just one setting for all kind of thing. It's knowing what the settings do so you can adjust your setting accordingly. But if you need some help. Let me know what you are stuck with and maybe I can help. Or tell you the cause of the issue.
When I said share settings and tricks I meant all of us as a whole so we can bounce ideas and settings between us.

Yeah the compression kinda destroys the sharpness alot. I'd love to see some of your pictures and maybe hear some tips you've picked up along the way if you are willing to share?

@tomatot
I had a look at the difference of these compressed ones and the compression of Instagram is better. They don't quite look like original but they are alot sharper than these. So if you wanna see them a little better quality. Feel free to check them out.

Bad selfie camera.

Hi. I think it's no secret that the Find x2 pro front camera is just bad. It struggles to focus in most light conditions, rarely takes decent photos. Tried gcam, still not satisfied.
If anyone is using any fix for selfies like a 3rd party app aur Gcam config, kindly share it. Thanks.

Order a new camera and put it in it

People take too many selfies anyway, we should get away from that.
