Go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Common and change EnableFrameRateInfo to 1
ok now go back to either your camera or video camera and you'll see there's now a little box telling you the frames per second. If you play with it you'll notice that it gets very poor in low light (probably around 3 fps) to slightly better in bright light (15 or so). Either way, these frame rates are probably causing the blurry photos. Not sure of the answer, but this shows the problem. Any one have thoughts on if this is a software or hardware issue or any way to tweak this? If you're getting 3fps then the image needs to be entirely still to not blur...
thanks bugsy. i've tried powering off the screen while in camera mode for 10-15 secs and then turning it back on which seems to reduce some of the camera lag or low framerates and now i can more accurately judge what the difference really was. i went from 3-5 fps, to 15-20 fps.
!
10x for the tip bugsy i never got to 20fps even ouside in day lite so i really
hate the way TP is recording....if you move your hand it records like
crap...found a funny one: while using flash lite the lite is reflecting in the
picture so i try to fix it (take one photo with flash lite in dark and then
take another one with the back cover from TP off ) look in the right side of picture to see the diference ,to fix it i painted with a black marker inside the
phone back cover near camera and flash !!!
any ideas how to fix this? 3 frames per second is a total joke. I can point it at a light and move the camera all over and get 15 fps with all sorts of movement. If I move it to low light I'm at 3fps... 15 is tolerable...3 is almost unusable.

I had noticed that flash reflection too, it really ruined flash shots! Well, I did like you said and took a dark marker and marked the metal part on the inside of the back cover, and now no more crappy flash photos, THANK YOU much for this tip!

10x but not really working for me,but i see that it works for many other people so i think that this have something to do with the battery power then i unchek Auto adjust backlight from power menu then start the camera it shows 8 to 12fps then in 1-2secs it checks it self somehow Auto adjust backlight box automatic and gose back to 3fps .... :-?? so i think the problem is from battery power that camera uses .... !!! (sry for my english )

Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Its good to be here.
So, I just installed camera fv 5 lite and the problem is that the shutter speed goes to a maximum of 1/11 secs. I was reading another guys tutorial and his one plusone could go to 64 seconds! He mite have had the paid version but still even in the light version it shouldn't be this low! I am confused why this is happening!
Please can someone give me a fix for this especially those of you familiar with camera fv 5. Or another app that allows to set exposure, shutter speed etc which works on xperia xz. Hope some of you guys can help me out.
Have a great day.
I've tried several 3rd party camera apps, even paid versions, including the paid version of FV-5 and none of them would offer a slower shutter speed than 1/10 second. I believe that is the slowest that Sony surfaces through the api to other apps.
Also none of the other apps allow any higher resolution than 8MP.
Lastly, I couldn't get FV-5 to even work on my XZ. I could take a couple of photos then the app appears to lock up. The circle in the center keeps spinning like it can't obtain focus.

Thanks for your reply, Fred! That is sad news though. I also tried several 3rd party apps (bought one too) but as you said, the shutter speed does not go below 1/10s. I wonder if you can root your device and fiddle around to change it from there or is it more of a hardware issue (kind of a noob when it comes to these things). The thing is I was reading an article where this guy used his OnePlus One to take epic milky way pictures just using his phone, fv 5 and a tripod. His phone and fv 5 allowed him a 64 second shutter speed! The results were unbelievable. I though to myself an Xperia XZ with such a great camera would do wonders but apparently not
BTW Fred, the issue you told me regarding fv 5 (spinning), it happened to me too but I think I just was not keeping the phone steady. When I kept the phone steady it would circle around, turn green, and take the picture (but I have a feeling your problem might be different). Just trying to help you out.
Thanks again man.
I hope there is some fix/hack out there that can reduce the shutter speed to at least 30-40 seconds. Samsung S7 has a 10 second shutter speed!

I'm not sure if there will be a way to get a very long shutter speed. The Sony camera app jas a max of only 1 sec., which, to me, is still very fast. Other phones that i have allow up to about 30 secs max shutter speed.
I should add that the problem i observed with FV-5 only occurs when I take the app out of auto mode, specifically go to shutter priority. Happens even in strong sunlight. I just downloaded and tried it agaik, since i got the android 7.1.1 update last night. Same problem, no change

Camera fv 5 is the worst for manual control for Sony devices in my opinion. I Advice snap camera hdr. There you can use manual controls at full resolution and some extra things. But shutter speed same.

This phones 48mpx camera shutter speed is too low, you can not take bust shots, for bust you need to change to 12mpx which is annoying.
I personally dispontted from this, Also brightness is a big issues in outdoors, im also using honor 8pro and outdoor i use 50% to 60% brightness. And for tbis phonr brightness level is 96% huge difference between brands.
During calls suddenly u r not able to hear voice of other person,just for a freakction of time.

You shouldn't ever change it to 48 mp unless you intentionally either want to take worse photos or if you just like large numbers. It's 12 mp by default for a reason.
Set the phone to auto brightness for the highest possible brightness. If the brightness level is fine at 96% then what is the problem?
The display tests I've seen put them both in the 450-550 nits range so the maximum brightness shouldn't be all that different.
The last part sounds like reception issues. From what I've heard the antennas aren't exactly the best so that's something any buyer has to live with or hope Asus sends out an update that can alleviate the problem although I don't expect that to happen.

I never said it was a good buy.
There was no long speech; where did that come from? It was a simple response to your issues or rather (mostly) non-issues.
What's the major problem exactly? The only real problem was the signal reception but it also sounds like it's intermittent.

And neither of them has 48 MP camera. It takes longer to process and save 48 MP pictures due to large file size, that's why burst mode is not possible. I'd suggest you to do some research about it.

Now you're straying away from your own question. You were talking about the unavailability of 48 MP burst mode.

So you just wanted people to agree?
Megapixels don't really matter. A lot of things go into making a good camera. However that wasn't the original issue. You complained about taking photos at 48 megapixels being slow. You've been told two things in regards to that:
1) set it to the default 12 mp because that's what it was made to do; it's meant to do pixel binning for the best quality and speed.
2) large megapixel counts require more data meaning it's slower. That's how it's meant to be.
In short: there is little to no reason to take pictures at 48 mp.
Sorry for a bit of offtopic (ignoring OP's "problems") but what's wrong with antennas? I had a Galaxy S4 and that was a nightmare in terms of cellular connectivity. If there are problems with calling, do they affect network connectivity in any way?
In my Zenfone 6 the flip camera while working in main camera in 48 MP tends to stop working either in selfie mode or rear camera mode whenever I flip. It's temperamental as sometimes main camera works only in Selfie mode then in rear camera mode it whites out the screen. Sometimes it works only in rear mode but in selfie mode it whites out. Can't make out what is the problem. Hopefully an upgrade will solve it.

Software can not solve hardware issues, like poco phone hearing error if u tilt a little, same with this phone having some mechanical errors which can not solved by software updates, sad but true.

For me, 4G with airtel network in India is giving 19Mbps download speed which is similar to s10+ where I get 18 to 19 Mbps.
I heard there are A, B and C modals of this device not sure if network issues exist in few type/modals.
167 new firmware released primarily to address camera and call quality issues.
OP can check if new firmware helps.

There was an update yesterday claiming to address the flip camera issue however my mobile camera continues to have the problem. From what I understand the image flipping creates the problem on my mobile. The main camera flips images on final position in selfie or rear camera mode & exactly at that point where the image correction is supposed to happen my screen whites out intermittently.
Can someone please help & advice.

My friend, we have to accept this is a experimental phone, like i remeber my nokia N900 that was outstanding phone by Nokia But lot of software and hardware glitches,
Same with this phone,
Z6 had hardware issues which is not salve in future with software updates.

Just wondering many claims here, I have been using 8 / 256 Gb model for few weeks now. Everything works just fine.
Asus camera is a good one. No need for GCam, but you can install it too (just like I did). Just install the latest arnova8G2 for Zenfone 6 (camera API2 is supported by Asus, so you need just install GCam).
I prefer usually Xiaomi phones, but I decided to chose this one instead of waiting Global K20 Pro. Just happy with my new Asus Zenfone 6.
After use of 1 month this phones camera works slow portrait mode woks slow one single picture takes 4sec to process which is very slow if we compare with one+, image process time is too slow of 6z

night mode works fine i have the S10 version...
How does it perform in comparison to stock?
Phone recently went on offer, thinking of buying it but all I read is how bad the camera is
I used to use Google Camera on my Razer as it was miles better than the Razer phone camera app.
I now have the A90 5G and after updates im not bothering with the Google camera apk as the Samsung one has all the options including night mode which works very well.
Last days i notice that when i open the camera it doesnt focus or it needs some time until it focus correctly.
I have enable and disable the secret options recently, i dont know if this is an issue maybe. Any ideas?
Same here. I'd add that it mostly happens when holding it at a 45 degree angle looking down. From there it doesn't focus at all until I hold it straight, then it works great. Seems like a hardware problem to me. I'm on latest miui 12 and flashing has never solved it for me.
Noticed this a few times, but for me using tap to focus always works. So if it is a bit slow I just tap what I want to focus and then snap.
Nice im not the only one! I think i notice that after android 10 update!
Same with MIUI 12
Hello,
I have a new Mi Note 10 with MIUI 12 and I'm also having this issue. Is this hardware related? Anyone was able to fix it?
