is it really bad?
so the new sensor is bad or it has somthing with the software?
Software, they are working on it as far as I believe.
what happened to the sensor?
It gives blurred pictures when you compare it to same or even lower resolution camera on other phones. The Anandtech's review gives the same conclusion. The current ROM version B129SP02 seem to improve the picture quality a bit but still not quite up to the mark of what Huawei claims.
Hi,
does anyone know who controls the rolling shutter speed of the camera?
is this controled by software or by hardware?
it works too slow, the most tiny vibration is transfered and return a wavy image, its so cr*p honestly,
anyone know if this is something software controlled? all xiaomi devices return a very slow rolling shutter speed in the camera,
i wonder if this can be modified or not,
as other phones like an ulefone metal, just to name any, return a much better speed on the sensor...
thanks
"Zero Shutter Lag" causes the photos to be blurry. If you are on AOSP or CM13, you can disable Zero Shutter Lag after enabling developer options in the Snapdragon Camera app. If you are using MiUI-based ROM, I'm not sure how to do it.
By the way, shutter speed is shutter speed. Rolling shutter is an entirely different thing.
Rolling shutter is a video defect.
Your problem is a too slow shutter speed. If your phone pick a quicker speed, it will raise ISO and you'll have "noise".
check out this video, thats how mi 4c performs?
rolling shutter speed is just pathetic, and i think this artifact is on all xiaomi devices, or at least in all the xiaomi i checked.
thats why i ask if its something controlled by software the rolling shutter speed, or is a sensor based problem,
anyone know the response?
can this be modified? others cheap phones like ulefone metal or even the crappy 50$ blackview A8 dont return such accentuated problem at all.
please check out those videos:
ulefone metal performs way better
Rolling shutter isn't related to shutter speed. Read more about rolling shutter here:

I see a moderate amount of rolling shutter in the Mi 4c video you have provided, but I don't think it's excessive compared to other phones. In any event there is (almost) nothing you can do about the rolling shutter effect. You may try enabling digital video stabilization if you think the video is too shaky.
hi legacyofthevoid, thanks for your response,
i must say i dont really agree that much on the fact the rolling shutter is moderate, i find its quite excesive, specially when cheaper phones got superior scanning speed,
as i said this problem is very noticeable on all the xiaomi devices i checked, and that makes me think if maybe xiaomi is reusing somehow the code who commands that speed, (in case is a software issue)
even in the high ed mi5 the result is just pathethic, i mean, really bad, and if you sum up the worst OIS i ever seen + the constant autofocus moving + the slow rolling shutter + the strange artifacts that skew the image when tries to stabilize it,
then thats the result of an mi5:
so bad image stability, is like see from the eyes of a drunk guy,
or this from minute 1:00 all the image fully out of shape due OIS + Rolling shutter issue.
Rolling shutter is caused by the way in which the camera sensor reads the information on its surface. Even high end DSLRs suffer from this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXSqKX3OexQ
It's not a software problem. It's just that the sensor doesn't read the whole surface at the same, or fast enough to minimize the effect.
i understand the rolling shutter will be always present
since looks like to be inherent to CMOS sensors scanning procedure, and even "pro" cameras
have this issue,
however i still can't avoid the fact its way WAY more noticeable
in xiaomi phones than other phones that are even cheaper and have aparently worst sensors,
we are talking about a simple walking returning super wavy dizzy images,
its not a phone attached to a turbine vibrating motor,
in a go pro camera you can see this issue just on strong vibrations for example,
and makes sense, but doesnt make sense to have such strong problem in a expensive phone thats supposed to have
good quality/price ratio, (well, its not bad, but its not that good neither, no nfc, no waterproof, no microSD, no good camera for video, and so on)
quite frustraste me a bit, and i was wondering if could be fixable via software, looks like no...
another sample on how wavy and dizzy video looks like on the slightest movement, + the autofocus always moving front and back constantly, so frustrating to see,
anyone have a video recorded with the mi4c at 60 or even 120 fps ? i would like to see if this might help smoothing the result
The main problem of the video you posted is not the rolling shutter IMO. It's the "glittering" on surfaces like grass.
I'll try in similar condition if I have something like that.
And there is a way to fix the focusing distance while filming, no?
And we should have start with that.
What rom and version do you have? You use the default camera, right?
Hi guys!
I own both a Honor 8 and a P9 lite and I expected the H8 cam to be way better then the P9l, but the truth is that I don't see any real differences and in some cases the P9l produces significant better photos.
To be honest, even without comparing with P9l, I was disappointed with H8 cam quality (it seems that suffer from some kind of grainy syndrome :/). I came from a Nexus 5 that was known for having a not so great camera, but a I think my photos with H8 are way worse...
That being said, what's weird to me is that everyone is really happy with overall camera performance, even reviews highlight it. So, is there any chance I'm facing a hardware problem with my device? Or is it software related? Already did a factory reset and nothing changed.
(and yes, I know it's a cell phone, not a professional camara, bla bla bla...)

Thank you!
not a software related problem for sure, but it seems like a faulty 2ndary camera unit.. so what you need to is look for another h8(may be a friend's) and compare the cameras,
or you can compare the samples of any other h8 user here.. that clarifies it for you..
If you've had you device for less than 2 weeks, I'd send it back for a replacement unit. As you could have been sold a faulty unit.
At least give a direct photo comparison... the difference won't be great but the Honor 8 should always be a bit better.
I recently bought the following phone.POCO X3 NFC- Smartphone 6+128GB, 6,67” FHD+ Punch-hole Display, Snapdragon 732G, 64MP AI Penta-Camera, 5160mAh, Shadow GrayIt worked fine for six about weeks and now I'm getting the screen switch of during calls issue which I've seen commented on on this forum and elsewhere. I've tried all the recommended solutions with regard to the proximity sensor, but no success. Although I must say my settings don't have an option for the proximity sensor that some youtube clips are showing and I had to go down the other suggested route. I thought this problem would have been fixed by now. So does anyone have any new solutions (I've seen the previous thread)? It's pretty scandalous that they're still selling this phone when it's causing such issues.
Had been pretty disappointed with the N20U fingerprint sensor over the Note 9 until trying this hack found last night on Sakitech's YouTube channel while searching for a solution. It originally pertained to the S20 / Note 10 but continues to make a huge improvement on my N20U. Link is below in case you're not aware of this.
My only disappointment with N20U is the fingerprint sensor. I tend to prefer physical fingerprint sensor especially on the side or back (and I still do). This actually improves the fingerprint sensor a lot. Thanks!
