I was messing around with the camera when I noticed something weird. When in the official camera app (tested in both implemented version and new 3.8.1), I can tap in the "three trees icon" (panoramic) and covering the top lense I see that's the one the phone is using. Now on to the 1x icon, the phone changes to the mid lense, but when tapping the big tree icon (telephoto), looks like my phone keeps using the same central lense, so the one in the bottom is never triggered.
Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Telephone is only used when there is a lot of light ( i personally tested it a lot). If you want to forcefully use the telephone camera use gcam mod with 'gcam for oos' module to enable auxiliary camera support.
in video mode telephoto is actually never used. that i did notice.

Indeed, I think they will allow for it in future updates.

Maybe that's the reason, after further fiddling I've found there's some kind of jumping between both lenses, it's not just that it doesn't toggle at all. So maybe the light is the reason for that. Thank you for your reply!

Is there? Since I don't use video calling can it be used to take pictures?
ok nevermind I found the option.
Bro, please share..........
when you go into the camera app tap the screen to show the options, tap the gear wheel in the bottom right corner and in the menu that pops up tap the icon in the bottom left
Why
Ok, maybe you do not have a mirror at you but... why to take a lo quality pictures?? You can use the rear cam to take 3.2 mp, not vga...
yea but since I don't use the camera for video calling I can at least use it to look at myself
no icon for me in bottom left
so weird but i dont have an icon in the botom left its blank lol, i wonder if its the elite rom im using or something else? anyone have an idea mabey?

I agree . I use it also for that purpose when there is no mirror near. Last time I used it to see the blood all over my face when I hit my head to a traffic signs edge due to a lack of visibility caused by a way too big hood

perhaps you have bigger issues to deal with than tweaking your PDA.
I got my OP6 and installed whatsapp and I am now trying to activate web whatsapp which requires you to scan a QR code on a web page on your computer.. However the camera is not focusing and therefore recognising the QR code. If I try to take a picture in a whatsapp chat it shows a very clear picture.
I've added a screenshot of what this looks like. I tried pressing the screen, double tapping, rebooting etc. I use a custom ROM, Havoc.
By moving fingers over the two lenses I've figured out that whatsapp is using bottom of the two lenses present lens for finding QR code.
Is this a hardware problem? Or is there something else going on? Can I test this somehow? I am not sure how I can just test this one lens alone.
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: I did read up on all the camera problem threads but it seems my problem is just with the lower lens hence this thread.
I just checked with a supermarket app that allows you to scan their items and here the scan camera focused quickly and perfectly.

The lower lense isn't for capturing images.

But if whatsapp forced the use of this lens on OP6 more people would have seen this issue? Can you try it perhaps. No need to scan, just activate the camera: open Whatsapp > three dots at top right > WhatsApp Web.
Thanks!

Whatsupp?
Have u tried cleaning the lens?
I had the same issue but it was when installed omni rom.. i have played with it a bit flashed back oos, and it working properly.
I have same problem, but i use custom rom, liquid_remix.
Has anyone got the solution?

yes it is, open the camera and place your finger on the lower lense and you will see that no image can be captured. Upper lense is depth sensor also a camera with autofocus.
if you want to test the cameras dial *#*#1597#*#* and you can change wich of both cameras you want to use to take pics. (at least in oxygenOS, i dont know about other roms). to discard a hardware malfunction, propper way to test this is to install stock OOS, then dial that number and check if both cameras focus (point at a distant object and see if it is focused, then place your hand close to the camera and see if it can focus on it) and check if OIS work (activate the camera and move the phone and look at the camera if it moves with the phone or if it stabilizes correctly)
Recently got the Mi Mix 3 and having some quality of life issues with the camera.
Firstly it doesnt seem to play well with Snapchat, in that if Snapchat is set to currently use the front camera the notification "Push the screen down to open camera" does not go away, so even if I am just chatting or something, that is there. Any ideas how to remove it?
I am also wanting to leave the slider gestures on so that when I slide the phone down it will open the front camera in the camera app. However again this does not play ball with snapchat or whats app, it will automatically open the camera app even if another app is trying to take a photo.
Any ideas how to fix either issues?
For me the notification goes away after a few seconds if I don't touch the phone
I keep the camera orientation on the back camera for those kind of apps. Then it won't bother me until I need to use it. But if you want to keep it on the front ig it's something we just have to deal with. At least it goes away though.
I also have my slider settings to open the camera and it works fine when I have other camera apps open. Just need to make sure you've turned to front camera in app before you slide.

Yeah I have got used to it. Do you have your slider options set to "Take a selfie"? When I do that even if Whatsapp is on front camera and slide down, it opens the camera app itself.

Is there actually a method (with root or flashing ofcourse) to get rid of it altogether?

Yeah they're on 'Take a selfie ". And I just checked that out on my Whatsapp and it opens the camera within the app. I don't know why your device seems to be doing that.
hi the community i discovered something on the oneplus 7 pro there is actually a hidden zoom x13 i explain how to have it
so it's very simple, you go first on the application "phone" and you typed the code *#*#1597#*#* you will be in test mode of photo sensors then press 3x on the front camera then you turn on the x3 telephoto lens but, as you will see, the photo application will be in 1x format; just zoom in 10x and you'll have gained a 3x zoom : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBgiz-VGa7c
sorry if my english is bad i use google translation i hope you understand my post
Nice find
Interesting! Cheers
This doesn't seem to make sense to me.
When I open the camera app by itself, I can always select the 10x zoom.
And actually, now that I'm testing this, my bottom lens doesn't seem to be used at all, even for 3x zoom.
For example, if I launch the Camera app, press the "single tree" icon (3x zoom), and put my finger over the bottom lens, I can still see everything just fine, because it seems to be using the middle lens. Why would this be?
I'm on Unlocked 9.5.6.

Maybe it's the image stabilisation?
How is the quality compared to 3x?
It's strange because the Reno released a phone with 10x zoom, what if they were planning on releasing it here

if I understand correctly, the telephoto lens does not come on when you zoom in?
if this is the case you must be on the lens: back (double) (0) you have to press the front camera button 3 times to reach the rear lens (telephoto) (2) if you are in the mode available by the code

for me when i switch to 3x zoom with my finger on the telephoto its fully covered.
also 9.5.6. not unlocked.
The telephoto lens is used when you tap the single tree icon, BUT:
- it switches to the main lens, when the telephoto lens is covered by something
- it also switches to the main lens, if it's too dark
- and it switches to the main lens, when you are too near to an object (you can't use it as an macro lens because of that)

Thanks for the clarification. You can see the clear difference - and therefore that the lense is used - if you do the switch and then either move up your finger from the bottom or from the top over the lense

Thanks, I can confirm that it was switching when I covered the lens, and also WITHOUT covering the lens but it was in a very dimly lit room, so that explains it!
All this being said, you can still just tap the tree, then tap the 3x and zoom all the way to 10x without having to input the dialer code.
This code doesn't work for me
this code not working ?
The code works Fine. On OnePlus 7 Pro Oos 9.5.11 and it does what the op writes.
Works. Interesting
That would be 30x zoom not 13x.

Already know that you can mod stock cam config to go all the way to 80x.

The settings I had to change to get it to work was turning on auto white balance (pics were green without it turned on), then I went to the advanced->ancillary camera settings to turn on the ID2 and ID4 cameras so the buttons would show on screen. Renamed ID2 to wide lens, and ID4 to Macro lens. I don't know if I used correct terms for names, the ID2 is the 0.5 camera and the ID4 is the flower icon camera from original camera. ID1, ID,3, ID5 options seems to crash app so I couldn't figure out which one goes to the physical 4th camera on back, so no clue how to access that particular camera plus I don't know what it's for.
Video and everything else appears to work without crashing. It does crash as I play with setting to get it to work better.
Not sure how many people are using the phone still being 2 years old, and didn't see post in the apps section unless I missed it. So here's something in case someone happens to still be using the phone like I am.
