Camera replacement? Want ISO

Is there a camera replacement that lets me specify the ISO?

I read something about the Desire camera apk but can't find much more info. Anyone know anything?

Heh, what do you know! That isn't adjustable either!
I tried 3 camera apps and no luck

I haven't found any great camera aps for the Nexus S.
I use Camera 360 for it's HDR feature, but it's not ideal: it doesn't offer 16x9 option, the HDR is so-so and you have to keep the stock camera for video.
And of course, I wish someone would figure out how to get 720p video from the Nexus S.

I care a lot less about 720p video than manual ISO. Cranking the ISO can really help get much better pictures in low light. I used my Evo to take some incredible photos of Iron Maiden in concert at the Garden, but I had to shoot at ISO 800 for it. On Auto they were just too blurry.

Heh, to each their own.... But the fact is still that there isn't a great camera app which does anything truly useful that the stock camera doesn't.
BTW, how did the pics look on a big screen at ISO 800? Did you get tons of noise, or were the shots useful?

Large images, but it doesn't seem the thread is good for much else anyway

That was done with an evo? You have to have a steady hand too with low light. I certainly can't do it.

Yup. In the pit. The pics at auto ISO were just blurs.

Camera Artifact

Hi Everyone
I noticed that there's some kind of artifacts in pictures taken by my galaxy s6 ... What's the name of this artifact ... ? Does your s6 camera have this Artifact ? My S6 Sensor is sony imx240 ...
Here are samples :

does anybody have this issue ? Is that normal or my s6 lens is defective ?

Does anyone have this issue ? Is it normal what kind of artifact is this ?

Take a photo of something else.
My old S6 Edge had a defective sensor where a blue artefact would show up. Samsung replaced the camera module without a question under warranty.

If you aren't willing to take a photo of something else, I'm not willing to help you. Considering the fact that taking a photo of the LED on a keyboard isn't really the greatest way to test a camera and it's pretty stupid. If anything, in that photo, that's just the camera's incapability to adjust the exposure properly, which could be reduced by enabling HDR. Which is why we have HDR in the first place.

Ok thank you so much and bye

@MikeChannon, considering closing this thread down. OP seems to have been mistaken about an issue that doesn't exist.

It is just a case of dirty camera lens glass. Just wipe it with a cotton rug and you will be good to go.

The lens is clean, I think it's due to f1.9 aperture

Slow motion speeds?

I tried to find information about the slow motion features of the XZ Premium, but everyone is only writing about the 960fps super-slomo.
Is the phone capable of recording video in 120fps or 240fps too?

I was able to pause a youtube video which showed the camera app settings and was able to spot the 240fps mode. I assume it can shoot *regular* slow motion too.

Can you provide the link? I thought it's only 120fps and 240fps
Wished Sony has given 1080p at 120fps

Actually the video only shows settings for 120fps (at time 1:46, screenshot at http://imgur.com/rdoMNW7)
No mention of resolution for the 120fps slow motion. The 960fps is in 720p, I heard that in several videos.

From the gsmarena review the 120fps is at 720p

From the review:
The Xperia XZ Premium features 4K video recording, which supports SteadyShot video stabilization. Of course, you get the standard 1080p/30fps and high-speed 1080p/60fps options. There is also a 120fps recording in 720p, and finally, there is the headline 960fps slow motion video recording - that's recorded again in 720p.

After about 2 weeks with the Sony XZ Premium, I have to say that I'm pretty underwhelmed by the super slow-motion. The device itself is very nice, fast, good looking and I like it a lot. The regular slow motion is fine, but the quality of the super slow-motion is far below my expectations. There is very notable noise in the video, the resolution does feel like I'm watching an old tube TV and there are visible staircase artifacts on straight lines in the video. The super slow-motion itself looks good, but with this type of quality I'll stick with the regular slow-motion for now. I hope Sony improves this in future updates, but I'm not sure how much they can do because it's mostly hardware constraints I guess.

Anyone able to get Video Stabilization to work again after Pie update?

I really need this feature and it's gone since Pie update , I wonder if it's a bug or they intentionally removed it?
Anyone able to get the stabilization to work or any method to revert the camera app to the older version?
Please help!!!

I was under the assumption video stabilisation is on always.. You can't turn it off. Hence there's no option in the settings anymore....

I wish it was like that but I'm pretty sure it is not!!!
The video recording is shaking as hell and it doesn't make sense to have in on all the time since EIS doesn't work with 60FPS and 4K and that would be really confusing.

Using gcam you get the option to turn video stabilisation on/off.

But the same, when you switch to 4k it disables it....I do think gcam video stabilisation works better than native app....

Your quite tight you won't find it in the Playstore as its a modified version of the camera app that goes into the pixel phones.
There's very little versions, if any now, that work OK with this phone. Not many developers are trying to port the app to the honor note 10. Not popular enough or to old.
The one I'm using is the latest version I can find that works OK with the Note 10. Albeit an old version now as the latest version of Gcam have loads more features..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgiqyolksmycxbf/GoogleCamera_5.1.018.apk?dl=0
Download it and see how you get on.
If you're in tested in trying other modded apk's, then check out this Web page. It has hundreds of modded versions....but beware a lot of them just won't run of freeze the phone when the app is opened.. Good luck.. [emoji1303]

Some questions about the P40 Pro’s camera settings

Hello, I am interested in buying the P40 Pro. I know that the P40 pro shoots at 12.5 MP by default, but to do this, there is some upscaling. In theory this would result in worse pictures than the Mate 30 Pro. Would it be possible to shoot at a non-scaled resolution, such as 10mp as was the default of prior Huawei flagships, and prevent the upscaling? Thanks

There is no upscaling, there's downscaling.
Main camera provides 50 MP, just devide it by 4 - and you're at 12,5 MP.
So your fears about losses caused by upscaling are quite baseless.
Picture quality is real great, just the Pro mode is close to useless, yet.

Yep, P40P uses 4-in-1 pixel binning to output 12.5MP shots from its 50MP main sensor (50/4=12.5)
I was getting terrible photos versus my previous M30P but after all these firmware updates recently, can safely say it's much better now imo.

ignore post

Gsmarena just published the review on the P40 Pro +. The image from the primary is indeed cropped. Only when users shoot at 50mp or at .85 zoom, you can see the uncropped image. This means that the image is indeed being up-scaled by around 20 percent. I don't understand why they just didn't keep it at 10.5MP to prevent this upscaling. Some Huawei phones allow you to shoot at different MPs, does this phone allowed any other image sizes besides the 12.5mp and 50mp while still maintaining aspect ratio?

^Default 12.5mp images
Shot at .85 zoom which removes the crop.
Thanks so much!

. 85x zoom is not through their ultra wide sensor?

I don't think so, in any case, when you shoot a 1x zoom at 50mp, and then 1x zoom at 12.5mp, the 12.5mp image is still cropped. About 20% of the image is cropped off, that means Huawei is doing some upscaling. I don't care about the image being cropped, the edges of most cellphone cameras are pretty much crap anyways, but I don't think they should upscale it.
