EMUI 8 camera quality - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Anyone with installed EMUI 8 beta - does the quality of camera images increased? Or still looks like oil-painted when zoomed in on gallery?

2 are Open Camera, raw, converted to jpg
1 from Camera FV5, converted to jpg
Camera FV5, no Flash: https://flic.kr/p/21Fwf9W

Stock camera app. vs camera fv-5

i really love shooting RAW for edit but jpeg is also important
after 5.1.1 update which enables raw capture i get camera fv-5 app but i'm really upset of its jpeg bad quality in-spite of its large size compared to the stock camera app.
any one had noticed this??? the photos are not sharp at all and feels like it's taken by 5 MP camera

u should report it to App Developers
for JPEG format test this app
Floating CameraW+
>> This is not raw capturing But it just capture the exact view of lens without any extra effect
so on healthy hardware it should take vibrant color and clear view compare to stock app
the full CameraW+ is paid on Google Play Store But If it can help to solve ur problem msg me to send its APK file
:good:

Camera RAW

Can anyone tell me if the Zenfone 3 Ultra camera can shot RAW file images?
It can't with the built-in camera application, but allegedly it can with FreeDCam app; haven't tried it personally.
I've tried and it works, will provide samples. But for 10 mins working with FreeDCam it became really hot

Video stabilization on Lenovo P2

Everything I am going to mention in this post is based on HAL3 and EIS enabled P2 on Oreo roms with the two patches from Astridxx and Highwaystar enabled.
Firstly, some of the Camera apps with manual control:
1. AZ camera
2. One plus camera
3. Footej camera
4. Freedcam
5. Manual camera
6. Open camera
7. Proshot
8. Snap camera
9. HedgeCam 2.2
10. Moment pro cam
11. DSLR camera
12. Camera FV5
13, Bacon camera
and more...
Camera apps with built-in stabilization (or otherwise build prop edit)
1. Paranoid camera (built-in stabilization - works great)
2. AZ camera
3. Footej camera
4. Snap camera
5. Freedcam
6. Update- Quality camera. Link in post 2.
Now regarding my topic:
Everyone knows that by adding a line in build prop enables video stabilization on supported ROMs and camera modules. persist.camera.eis.enable=1 (don't use EIS capital )
But in P2 most camera apps video preview will give you a green screen, yet snapit, motocam, etc, will work but we will get choppy videos with only a bit of stabilization.
NOTE: Gcam ports / Footej camera and almost all other camera apps's 1080p, 720p, 480... video recording will not work after enabling EIS. Only 4 K video works (not much stabilization).
In my research I found out that these camera apps's video preview size is the reason for the green screen.
Solution: Changing the camera "video preview size" to 960p (1280x960).
In the above-mentioned camera apps only Snapcamera has the option to change video preview size. So you can use snapcamera to record stabilized videos till 1440x1080 resolution.
After enabling eis in build.prop you will see an additional tab in snapcamera settings video tab called as "stabilization" (I feel it is auto enabled even if you select it or not).
Selected video resolutions as - 1440x1080, 1280x960, 640x480 , 320x240 - works in Freedcam / Snap camera / AZ camera / Open camera. You can record nice stabilized videos.
Recommended: Freedcam, Snap camera, AZ camera.
Note: Only those camera apps which have the above-mentioned video resolutions will work.
Miscellaneous info:
1. For dark video issue with your current cam app, you can use HTC camera app, the videos are bright enough.
2. May or may not work- for better camera picture quality
Open media_profiles.xml found in system-etc folder
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageDecoding memCap="80000000" />
Thank you for reading and please hit the thanks button if I helped.
Another camera app with built-in video stabilization (EIS should be enabled in build prop).
App Name: Quality camera.
Info: No manual controls but I personally feel the picture and video quality is amazing with much reduced noise. Recorded videos are stabilized and are not that dark.
NOTE:
1. You need to disable navigation bar or use expanded desktop from your settings (put the tab in pull down menu) to select camera settings and selecting picture and video modes.
2. You need to select in camera settings photo tab (second tab), change preview size to 1.2M pixels (1280 x 960) or 1.5M pixels (1440 x 1080) otherwise, enabling EIS will give you green screen error.
3. Force close app and restart again.
You will be able to record stabilized videos at 480p, 720p, 960p, 1440 x 1080 (4:3 aspect ratio).
1080p video recording does not work (green screen).

Working BSG Pixel 3 GCAM No Crash

BEST CAMERA I TESTED [15-01-2018]
If you want to shot using pixel 3 camera, you may need this mod
BSG Pixel 3 GCAM Mod : MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a
Download on celsoazevedo (all link at bottom post)
I tested it. Just enable Buffer fix and disable Google photos in setting, it can shot 10 photos HDR continuously (I don't test above it) but there will be a pause each shot (about half second). When I open gallery it showing 7 photos queued, 2 photos processing, and 1 photos processed. Whenever it crash, HDR still process, so you won't lose your photo. But until now I never rarely crash. Don't ask front camera, it won't work on pixel 3 camera, take pixel 2 camera for front camera.
This is my setting, and it's work perfect:
I install camera patch v2
Motion: for smooth off, for enable top shot auto/on
Video res: 4K (cannot record on low light)
Stabilization: on
Advanced: dirty lens off, HEVC on, HDR control off, RAW off
BSG MOD setting:
HDR+ Parameter: min 2 max 7 (change whatever you like, I use 2 for faster process)
Photos: disable
Libs: Savitar
FIX: Motion on, Buffer fix on, viewfinder motion and AE on
How to get top shot:
Install latest daydream and Google photos (daydream) from apkmirror. If you cannot update app, uninstall photos update first.
From here, your motion photos will get top shot selection by go to picture info
I hope it can help you. If it's hard to understand, kindly drop a reply below.

Front cam doesn't work mates,
Hello OP, I tried V2 patch. It is terrible. When I chose to capture video, i feel like I'm zooming in. I have to revert back to V1 patch. Even with V1, I can have front camera work in gcam 5.1 and night sight in G cam 6.1

Have you follow step to enable top shot?
Install "Google photos (daydream)" and daydream, take it from apkmirror
Also enable motion when taking photos

Image stabilisation

Video stabilisation is not working in open cam. Is there any work around for this? The stock camera is not very good with video recording. Is there a recommended app to use for taking videos with the note 7 pro.
