Hi,
My camera is very very slow. The quality seems good but when filming and moving the phone everything is very blurry. Is this normal / common issue?
If I take a picture of something it has to be absolutely still otherwise the picture is blurred.
When I direct it to a wall which is 1 color the camera if very fast, but when I move it to a colored area with lights etc, it flickers 1 time and then it goes very slow, as if some filter is applied in areas which are lighter.
I get this also and upgrading the radio has not solved the problem.
I've noticed that it seems to be fast in daylight?
Theres a camera trick in the forums - kaiser I think about switching off the phone (sleep mode by pressing the power button) whilst the camera is on and switching it back on again improving the speed but I have not been able to make it work.
The Polaris camera is very good in daylight conditions! If you try to take pictures in low light conditions the fps will drop so that it seems like it is very slow.
Try this little trick for videos or pictures in low light conditions with max fps:
1. Activate camera with camera button
2. Put your finger on the camera lens and hold it there
3. Turn of Screen / Put Polaris into sleep mode and wait 5 - 8 seconds
4. Activate Polaris screen again with power button
5. Now you can take pictures / videos with max fps!
But be aware of the fact, that with this little trick the iso lightening won't work anymore and the pictures will be darker and have lower quality!
After using the camera in better light conditions, everything will be as before the trick!
WOW! and that actually DID work
thanks for tip friend, I can live with the lower quality if I can get a decent video recording... The ones I've done before were rubbish. I would have been embarassed to show them to anyone... except maybe at a 60's convention..the blurryness was a little psychadelic!
The trick seems to work! Isn't there a way to modify the rom to always disable the light filter?
The other front camera is always working very fast, it's just the one on the back.
Thanks!
Maybe UDK might build it into his v9 release? (hint, hint!)
As far as i know there is no chance to tweak some software or a rom so that the problom won't occur again. When starting the camera it's hardware will always activate the iso lightning and therefore there will be those fps drops in low light conditions.
It has something to do with the lack of hardware drivers which could keep high fps rates also in low light conditions..... BUT i'm not sure because of the diamond!
If you compare it with the diamond, there ARE some video drivers but the performance of the camera is nearly the SAME as on Polaris.... in some situations even worse and less fps rates!

It has absolutely nothing to do with drivers. The phone's night mode isn't simply adjusting the ISO. The phone is allowing more light into the sensor, thus keeping the shutter open longer. Doing so blurs the picture if you move around. Any phone with a night mode does the same thing. In fact any digitial camera with a nightmode will also do this.

Can I ask how to modify this trick via a .reg file?
As said above, this cannot be done. You'll have to do it manually each time.

Ok, but how about setting a value for nightmode, so it wont be used in mediocre lit areas thus increasing performance?(maybe to finally allow to make some nice, steady pictures) I think HTC overdid it a little.
And how can you explain this trick, fooling phone that it's complete darkness, so it decides to turn nightmode off? Kinda weird.
Also what LightSensorHz(50) registry value does?

Hi,
Anyone know a link to how to set correct settings to use manual control for XZ to get great pictures instead of using auto? I did a google search, nothing really comes up. Unless I am using wrong key words in my search.
I'd also be interested in some sort of guide to squeezing the best photos possible from this camera.
I tried in manual mode but whenever i try adjust iso the shutter speed would become auto and when i adjust shutter speed the iso i believe becomes auto too

That would be because it is shooting in priority mode, not fully manually. The aperture is fixed in smartphone cameras, so the only way to use a faster shutter speed without making the picture darker is to also increase the sensitivity, and the only way to use a slower shutter speed without making the picture brighter is to decrease the sensitivity (and vice versa).
There are no "best" settings for Manual mode. The settings you choose will depend on the picture you want to take. The "best" settings for Manual mode if you want to set and forget them are to put the camera back in Auto mode, and let it choose the settings for you. That's true on any cameraphone with manual and auto modes, too.
I also would like a noob guide to (smartphone) photography. I never know what to set in manual mode.

If I get a moment, I'll make one when my phone arrives and I've had a chance to see what settings they've added since my just-died Xperia Z2.
Anyone got any guide?
Very generally speaking, since the aperture is fixed (at f/2.0), the USUALLY best way to take a sharper photo is to use as low of an ISO you can. PERSONALLY I find that a lot of the oversharpening you get with Xperia cameras comes from the auto mode using too high ISO. If you define the ISO yourself in manual mode, the SONY camera will automatically choose a shutter speed. So, the bottom limit of the ISO you can set will generally be if the image is too dark, or you can't hold the phone steady enough for a longer exposure. As a general rule of thumb, in broad daylight with great lighting you can use ISO 50 or 100. Indoors during the day I might try 200. At night indoors, like in a restaurant I'll use 400. And in darker shots I'll try ISO 800.

First of all make sure you use higher mpx option. Second is adjust settings when you actually taking photos which I found best way for me. That way you can see how photos will come out in real time and then snap it.
Do you guys get better results using the on-screen shutter button or the physical button?

I prefer to use the on-screen button, it's a smoother action for me to hold the button with my thumb to focus and then gently let go.

Here is the fix for purple colour on exposed areas on S7 Exynos. I only fixed Pixel XL device, so use that. As a side affect noise increased... But well lit shots are very sharp in portrait mode now.
You can enable HDR+ for front, but it is very unstable. Success depends on exposure somehow. If it hangs, you have to restart the app to take hdr shots again.
Reenabled medium,very high etc hdr settings. Not that I see any difference in quality, but some of you asked for it... Non default settings will make portrait mode less stable for sure.

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Bugs:
Changes vs. V3:
-front cam HDR+ workaround for S7. Still to be tested in very bright conditions. Turn on "HDR+ front camera fix" if you have an S7.
-front cam: normal pics in auto HDR+ mode are saved now
-front cam: improved non-HDR+ quality
-added a custom auto-exposure mode for HDR+ (only HDR+, so not for portrait). It is called "Slow shutter" because it will decrease shutter speed as much as possible (1/10 secs on S7) in bad light. The result: much lower ISO and noise. Of course fast moving objects will probably get blurry more easily. Only tested this on S7, on other devices it might need some tuning.
5th version:

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Changes vs. V4:
-added more shutter options. Selecting "Stock camera2 api" will get rid of rainbow effect, but dynamic range is poor, because camera can't underexpose fast enough if auto shutter control is on.
-added antibanding modes. Works up to 1/149 sec shutter speed. Only select 50hz or 60hz in case of banding problems, because it can cause suboptimal shutter speed otherwise!
-denoise strength for HDR+ and portrait. For front cam you need to select about 2-300% to really see the difference. Back cam is much more sensitive to this setting.
-HDR+ dynamic range control (called Underexposure multiplier). Reduce below 100% to decrease rainbow effect.
-added Samsung specific metering modes. To enable touch to expose, select "Controlled by GCam".
-added Samsung Live HDR mode. Adds some dynamic range to modes where HDR+ is not available like zero shutter Portrait mode. No Rainbow effect in HDR+ mode if this is selected, but noise is too much unfortunately!
-you can enable HDR+ for Portrait mode by disabling "Portrait ZSL mode". Better dynamic range, custom shutter control, but no zero shutter lag.
-custom white balance. I set greens to 96% to get rid of the greenish look where I sit right now, but it is a matter of taste probably.
-modified HDR+ quality settings. Choose "Very high" if you were using "Medium" before (unstable for me). The recommended "Default" setting is the same as before, it is somewhere between medium and high.

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Changes vs. V5:
-fixed bug which caused hdr+ shot failure sometimes!
-attempted to fix HDR+ portrait mode (can be activated by disabling portrait ZSL mode).
-added some description to "HDR+ parameters". For example: 8/10 burst, 1500 MB means: HDR+ operates with 8 shot bursts. Portrait mode (ZSL) operates with 10 shot bursts at most. Estimated total memory usage: 1500 MB (including camera2 api buffers).

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Changes vs. V7:
-made Pixel 2017 ZSL config work on our device. I had to disable reprocessing, and smart touch to focus. Also some experimental Pixel specific features like hybrid AE cannot work on our device, so don't expect Pixel like quality. Basically the only change versus Nexus 6 config is that if the HDR+ switch is set to the middle, you will have zero shutter lag HDR+ instead of auto HDR+. ZSL HDR+ is the same thing we already had before in portrait mode. So less dynamic range, and more noise in low light because slow shutter mode is not available. However it is much better in good/medium light if you make photos of unpredictable things like kids, because it processes images already taken in the background. In low light, or high contrast scenes please use Enhanced (nonZSL) HDR+! In "HDR+ parameters" setting I recommend using one of the Pixel 2017 options, because they should be more stable regarding memory leak. "High", "very high" and even "default" leak memory if pixel 2017 config is used.
-BSG mod settings moved to Advanced settings.
-you can now use portrait mode without zoom
-portrait mode pictures can be saved directly to DCIM/Camera. However: the built-in gallery can get confused by this, so I recommend using Google Photos instead (camera.use_photos must be enabled in dev settings). And even more importantly: before V8, the built-in gallery in GCam will delete all portrait pics from DCIM/Camera if you delete a single portrait pic from DCIM/Camera!!!! I patched this in V8, but if you were to go back to a previous version you can get into trouble easily!!!!
-you can modify some internal denoise settings. Unfortunately I couldn't find a combination which improves quality in all situations, but feel free to play around with them. Turn on the switches to apply changes.
-fixed a rare background battery consumption issue.
-camcorder fixes: front cam is working now, enabled optical stabilization, Samsung HDR can be turned on for video.

Force close Gcam and re-open it!
Done!
Note that those bugs reports are referred to Galaxy S7 so they may not be valid for Galaxy S8.
Also keep in mind that every time there's an update you have to clean install the app or at least wipe data's app
Every time you change settings in the app you have to close it from recent panel(or maybe better directly force close) and reopen the app to apply new setting
Because many users have problems with this app i will share my working configs in the attachment working on Oreo CRAP/CRB7

(Photos captured with google camera in various light condition)
Seriously i went back to Nougat, best decision ever google cam now is pretty stable and fast. No more waiting to take next photo. lol and it's cooler too no more heat up like crazy and wasting battery life.
For first timer s8 user, Highly recommended S8 optimized version from @IDan1109
Otherwise check these out :
Because this version was made for S7 user, first thing u have to do is go to camera setting which is located at top left > developer setting > Disable "camera.enable_micro" immediately. Now you can freely try any setting with trial and errors. After tons of test i highly recommend advanced user, uninstall your 8.2 instead of replace 8.2 with 8.3b. reinstall your app and try new settings instead of stacking it together. Trust me clean install always better.
(for example test your Slow shutter result shutter time if it does not give 1/3s 1/4s each shot, your version of gcam is corrupted)
updated v8.3B
This is my latest config stable with v8.3B. Optimized after alot of experiments.
Now you can capture best lowlight picture and still give you finest detail possible.
First, pick HDR+ enhanced to force hdr to capture lowlight with less noise.
disable flashlight. (only use it if you forced to do, gcam will shot with huge yellow gained but can be edit it back to natural color in lightroom or pts)
*Enter setting > First page > "Slow Shutter x2" or X4 (kinda gimmick anyway but switch to faster shutter speed if u wanna take fast moving object),
Antibanding = Controlled by GCam (60hz give tons of noises),
75% underexposure multiplier NoneZSL HDR+,
100% denoise back and front, Metering Mode = Center (Gcam will allow u to touch to focus.)
Live HDR = Disable/enabled (higher contrast but a bit blurry in the dark area, so only enable it only if u have good light source.
(personaly i left this disabled)
Portrait ZSL mode = enable, Portrait Zoom = disable (turn on if u want closer look).
HDR+ White balance = no change.
Tuning Back cam = Taimen
Tuning Front cam = Bullhead
*Advanced menu > HDR+ = Fast Stable or faster, Config camera HDR+ = Nexus 6 HDr+ Auto (less noise),
turn on = auto HDR+ front camera, ...etc
Turn on (off all those fixes, with exynos in it if you're snapdragon S8)
The rest in this page can leave it there, or set it to your liking, not important.
* Developer settings >
Disable Camera.use_photos and cameraprogress_overlay
Disable "camera.enable_micro"
_______
wanna get rid of rainbow effect ? Turn on Live HDR Samsung (this will introduce noise but the rainbow gone)
Trick to take picture in daytime is use your finger to focus on the dark area (not darkest to avoid blowout the highlight, then wait for HDR+ to work the magic. (u can lower the highlight in LightRoom later on anyway but byebye rainbow)
For future update you should go check it here : the owner of this page rapidly update all the new versions which just came out and even translate it to english.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
For example this guy : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog107/
took v8.2 and modified it then add more shutter speed options, too bad from my test it's not optimized for s7/s8. alot of crash but once u get working setting it's not better in term of image quality + stablility VS v8.2 miniuser123

how?mine is not taking any photos in front portrait..
The camera is super slow, I thought this would get better with the camera pro.
So I tried to set the iso to 800 and 1600 but the exposure is completely off when doing this. It seems the software decides to use a much slower shutter speed than what is actually needed when iso is set manually so pictures are completely over exposed.
Anyone having this trouble? Or do you guys know if it is possible to fix it?
Right now the only way for me to take a picture with manual iso is to also set the shutter speed manually which makes the process super slow and negates most of the benefit of choosing a manual iso since now I have to waste more time trying to guess which shutter speed would be best.
Is horrible work ok nokia, ihave some issues
I don't see any changes when adjusting iso settings. Not sure if it's a gimmick. Might try at night with strong focal light source..

Camera: Put the ISO on fixed and low (like 100) and then the shutter on auto AND be possible to take good pictures in half lit rooms, like indoors. (shutter can become like 5 seconds, on auto!)
Yes, very simple/basic you would think, but it appears to be very rare for camera phones. For normal camera’s this is 100% basic!
Please tell me the Mi Note 10 can do this.
And for more info, IF you are interested:
I tested it out: P30pro, Oneplus 7T and a bunch of more cheap/midrange/(I)phones. And as soon as you put it on a fixed (low) ISO (if even possible), the max shutter will be too short to make a good picture with low light. Or they put the shutter on manual as soon as you put Iso on a fixed value. Either way, it is not possible what I need for photogrammetry
I have no clue why they set the max shutter on something like half a second max, when ISO is manual/fixed but they do. Or fixed ISO means only manual shutter. Even with Gcam and/or other party apps. I've tried everything!
Yes, you can manually set the shutter longer, to get a decent exposure (so, technical it is possible to take the picture with the right exposure), but I need it to be on auto shutter/exposure, as I have to take 1000+ pictures in half a day for photogrammetry, so I do not have time to do manual shutter/exposure.
On a normal camera this is soooo basic. Please tell me the Mi Note 10 does not have this strange “limitation” for no obvious reason that other high level camera phones do have.
Yes, it has such limitation and it has a basic explanation - if the shutter speed is longer than half a second, you'll need a tripod for a decent image.

Thanks for the answer, though it was not what I hoped for.
And yes you need a tripod of course. But do the big companies think nobody ever heard of a tripod and why you use them for a camera(phone)? Beside that, it is only limited when shutter is on auto, not on manual. To me it make no sense.
Not to mention al 3th party apps, they all claim: use you camera phone as a DSLR…. NOT!
You can do whatever you want, even in the default camera app.
The max shutter rate is 32s, and the max ISO is 6400.
You can set whatever you want.
I also shoot nighttime, and I'm always at 100 ISO.

Okay, but do you set the shutter on manual or on auto? What will become the max shutter on auto? (with fixed ISO at 100 and at nighttime).
