Hello
I bought the mi mix 2s to use it for video with the telephoto lens with a handheld stabilizer, I feel so screwed realizing I can't use the telephoto camera in video.
Is there any way/software fix that could allow us to use the telephoto lens in video mode ?

So I just received my OP 7 Pro. I love it to this point, though I am still evaluating whether I can adjust to the curved screen. But my question is about the telephoto lens:
We know that the lens is actually a 12 MP 2.2x telephoto lens. The 8 MP 3x pictures the OP camera app produces is a bit of cropping and software zooming. Is there a way - either in the OP camera app itself, GCAM, or some other trick to use the lens as it is actually a designed? A 12 MP telephoto picture at 2.2x zoom?
Thanks...
its an 8 megapixel telephoto lens

i found this issue discussed in several articles: (I can't post a link yet since I'm new, but searching for this should get you there and explain what I'm talking about...

It crops the 12mp/2.2x zoom image to output an equivalent 8mp/3x zoom image. Just look at the differences in zoom between the portrait mode and the regular "3x" zoom option. Both are using the same lens.

And hence my question. Is there a way to capture the true 12 mp 2.2x zoom image without the OP "magic" of making it 3x zoom. Maybe I'd prefer to crop to a different area of the 12 mp photo?
Just wondering. But I'd like maximum flexibility in camera shooting options...
I know that it will be 2.2x with gcam, or with portrait mode in the oneplus app. I haven't used gcam for a while so I can't find you the latest links and downloads. But hope this info would help
Hello Guys, as the Gcam photo quality beats the quality of the oneplus camera ( in general) I'm thinking to root my oneplus 7 pro just to utilize telephoto and wide lenses in Gcam, so is it worth it ? does the quality differs compared to stock cam? thnx
After my phone was dipped on water, i noticed the camera lenses are the same(primary and ultrawide only) When i use the ultra macro feature on the app, the device uses the primary lenses instead of the macro lens. The same happened to portrait mode. How do i fix it?
Looks like a hardware issue I suggest going to your nearest realme service center bring in with you some proof of purchase
Has anyone noticed that when you're shooting videos in the 5x mode you're not actually recording video from the 5x lens. You're recording from the 2x lens digitally zoomed in.
You can test this for yourself by putting your finger over the top lens while recording at 5x and see for yourself
Another fun fact for anyone who didn't know is the 5x lens is actually a 3.7x optical zoom. So if you want the very best quality photo you should pinch the cam to 3.7x as beyond that is digital
I'm using software 11.0.9 Global

I thought you can actually record video from 3.7x lens.
And fact that its "just" 3.7 is well known.
But very surprised about video recording. Real shame, wonder what it would look like.
That is true for the stock cam app. But if you install the opencamera app that is on this forum adapted to the mi note 10 you can use rhe 5x camera for recording video, as well as manual controls for focus and exposure, it works really well

Yeah, this Open Camera for Mi Note 10 helps a lot. But wonder, if anyone got it working in video mode using Gcam?
I am interested in buying the huawei P40 pro+ or mate 40 pro+ purely for their 240mm focal length lenses (to replace my s7 edge). Reason being I hate the facial distortion that occurs with shorter focal length lenses
How would i go about ensuring my pictures are taken with the 240mm lens?
This question could be extended to all cameras with multiple lens AND multiple telephoto lenses. I assume when your only lenses are wide, ultra wide and telephoto simply switching to portrait mode should work... but these huawei phones have 2 telephoto lenses (240 & 80mm focal length).
Any idea or help?
