Hi all,
So I am liking the P20 Pro 4k video quality, and think the lack of image stabilization in 4k can actually be a benefit, if one uses a gimbal. It seems like using a gimbal with camera stabilization together can be a problem and actually create camera shake.
What I'm looking for is an android app allows me to lock both the ISO and white balance while filming in 4k.
Initially I thought Filmic Pro was the way to go, but as it is right now I don't think the P20 pro is currently supported by the app at 4k.
Has anyone used either Open Camera or Cinema 4K on the P20 Pro, and can you confirm if locking white balance and ISO is supported.

It is possibile to set camera flat profile using third party apps like Filmic Pro or Camera FV-5? I know I can set it with Samsung Camera app but only for 1080p 30fps. I want to set flat profile for 60fps or 4K, is there a way to do it?
I have the same problem. I found that Cinema 4k has flat profile in 4k but I can not get it to work on my s7, created files are corrupted...
I hope guys from Filmic Pro will add this option in the future. I have DJI Osmo Mobile, they have already implemented support for this gimbal on iOS and soon it will be supported on Android too.
Hello guys,
It's my first post here at XDa. Recently I bought a brand new Mi A1 64GB and really loved the dual camera possibilities. And I have started to love even more when I made it able to use Google Camera and it's HDR+ capabilities. The difference. Is. HUGE. A lot more of details and it becomes a SERIOUS alternative to pricier phones and even the selfies at dim light are great, totally different from the blurry and with a huge lack of sharpness and detail of the original Mi Camera.
That was a thing. But I needed something better in order to have more manual controls since Gcam app lacks manual controls in video and the video quality is not exactly good even though it's possible to use h265 codec that promises more detail and less noise with the same bitrate.
I have tried cameringo, cinema fv-5, the regular mi app, Gcam and filmic pro apk.
Filmic pro is, by a lot far, the best option we have for recording com. Even though the EIS doesn't work in the app (and works on Gcam app, but I didn't really liked it, just prefer to stabilize later on Google photos app), it's possible to manage hue, saturation, bitrate, framerate, it's possible to use cinelog profile in order to retain a lot more detail on recording, as well as the bitrate goes higher. In every other app tested, the video bitrate can't go higher than 42mbps and audio can't go higher than 96kbps. With Filmic pro, I was able shoot 100mbps film with 256kbps audio and choose which microphone I wanted to use. The video quality was noticeably higher, as well as the audio was a lot sharper.
I'm using camera2api, recommend you guys trying it out.
what version are you using?
It says it's not compatible with my device.
Hi all, you might know this already but I just found out and it seems like absolutely great news for this phone. The latest Open Camera update allows you to record video using every camera on the phone. Even the monochrome one works. No need to have perfect lighting conditions in order for the camera to switch between main and telephoto. You now have a dedicated camera button which lets you select what lens to use. Did you get the chance to try it out? I didn't have any issues yet.

Is the recording quality improved?
I'm not sure. You do have to option to record with maximum 80Mbps but I I find it hard to tell if that is any different from the 30Mbps standard rate. Video looks crisp and clear, colors are very good, especially if you lock the white balance.
Quality seems not as good.. Also can not use Camera API 2, for high res to get extra control in manual mode.
I'm not sure why you can't use camera2 api. For me it works and I can select iso and exposure during filming. I have a CLT L29.

whats your max resolution for recording video using Camera2 API?
For the 40mp lens and the telephoto lens, I have 3840x2160. The monochrome camera however has a resolution of 3264x1840 for video.
Sorry for necropost, but anyone tried open camera for B&W photos? Does it allow exposure bracketing? Raw or at least png for file saving? I would like to try p20 pro just for that monochrome lens...
You can save RAW with the B&W camera but for some reason the pictures appear purple.
Hi all, I am in search of a thrid party camera app that can utilize the EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) functionality of A51. I have tried Filmic Pro, Open Camera and Manual DSLR camera app but they failed to provide the EIS functionality, (they do have the option of stabilization but whether it is On or Off, doesn't make any difference). I would be grateful to you for helping me out on this. The reason I need to do this is because the stock camera of A51 doesn't let me change the recording bitrate and framerate. Thanks.
This app is not present on Xperia Mark II smartphones but it's possible to install it via apkmirror. I'm not an expert with photos and videos in general, i really shoot few photos in my life, and even less videos. But it's my curiosity about it: Is this app more user.friendly and easy to use compared to Cinema Pro? I have the 5 II and i admit that i have some difficulty with Cinema Pro. Usually i use Basic Camera for videos.
If i install Video Pro from apkmirror, i can be sure it works perfectly on 5 II without any bugs / lack of functionality and/or errors? Who knows, maybe someone more expert than me already tried this and noticed some problems with the app born for Mark III lines.
EDIT: sorry for posting this in wrong place.
Did you exhaust Cinema Pro capabilities?

uhm i have difficulty to use Cinema Pro. I'm asking if Video Pro is more easy, after all, for a beginner.
I apologize for my misunderstanding. I don't do videos but if I suddenly needed to, I would go to PhotoPro Basic, switch from photo to video, and do a video with very few variables.

i can't do that. Photo Pro version installed in Mark II series doesn't allow to use Basic Camera. I have the Camera separate from Phoro Pro and that's ok, i can do videos with that Camera but it's my curiosity to know more about Video Pro.

Yeah! Video Pro is more advanced than Photo Pro's video mode (or Basic camera) and easier to use than Cinema Pro with more controls but no Presets as that of Cinema Pro. I would say if you don't want something of Cinema quality Video Pro is far better than using Basic Video mode from either Basic camera or Photo Pro.
