Camera 360 works much better then stock cam software.

So I took some pics with different settings in Camera 360 program. I forgot what the settings I selected were but its pretty much all of them.

This was all done on the phone. No computer side processing.
Oh P.S. these are all seprate pics of the same thing.

better because it has some extra filters?
take some long distance shots with the default camera app, then take the same shot with camera 360, and we'll see which picture looks sharper.

Will do in the morning

Yeah, I've taken pictures just as good of close-up flowers with the stock camera app. Those look great though! The camera is pretty excellent on the Captivate IMO.

Some of those filters look fantastic!!
/downloading camera360

for some reason i find that my camera is sub-par.. pictures always come out blurry even though i am very steady. i will try camera 360 and hopefully it will help

So what color is the flower supposed to be? Purple or Red. I'd say that only one of those photos looks good. I think the one where its red looks good, the leaves look a good solid green. The rest look kind of like "neon" lights or something.

I find that my Touch Pro w/ it's 3.2MP camera takes sharper photos than the captivate does indoors. I have a 30" monitor so I can actually verify if the camera is keeping up with the horizontal resolution of 2560. I would rate the effective pixel resolution only at like 2.5MP for the captivate. I would say the rest of the 2.5MP seem extrapolated w/ noise.
While YellowGTO's shots look good, we must remember that they are downsized. I tried out camera 360 as well. But imo that application only applies some digital filters to beef up the picture - I can do this w/ picasa. In the end TP's shots blow those of captivate to dust. Captivate lacks refinement.
Engadget did say that the camera quality is better on the vibrant than it is in the captivate. It would be nice if someone who also has access to the vibrant or the i9000 can compare the refinement abilities.

looks awesome!!!

Does this app let you use the camera on a low battery (unlike the stock)?

Those all look severly over saturated to my eye.

Which is one of the main advantages of this program. I also like Fxcamera, though the pictures quality looks far worse on the computer than when viewed on the phone.

Post the best picture that you took with S8/S8+ camera

Shot I took playing around

Pacific Coast near Stinson Beach

Couple shots of my car. Point and shoot

Some shots around Boston. Sadly no sun out

Really loving this camera.

And people have the audacity to say that this camera sucks.... Smh

How is the camera quality when taking photos in dark areas or in the night?

I will post later comparision pictures between the S7 Edge and the S8 as I own both. The S7 (edge) was the best allround smartphone camera. The S8 improved on the S7 (edge) camera.
A few examples when compared to the S7 (edge):
iPhone 7 (plus)
daytime: Soft image, lacks a lot of detail, nearly always blown out highlights, underexposed shadows
nighttime: A lot of noise, bad low-light visibility, Autofocus becomes very slow and jumpy
Google Pixel XL
daytime: best-in-class dynamic range when using native camera app, with social media apps (like snapchat) it's a potato camera...
nighttime: great dynamic range yet worse than the S7 Edge, lots of noise and has bad low-light visibility
In general, the front and rear-facing camera on the S8 are noticably better in every catogery when compared to the S7 Edge.
What does the S8 do better than the S7?
Better exposed shadows
Highlights are prioritized (much less blown out highlights)
spot on white balance (no more yellowish pictures at night!!)
Noise is reduced a lot (especially noticable at night shots)
Images appear softer but have more clarity
1080p60 AF is about 3x faster (still no instant AF unfortunately...)
Bokeh is more smooth and more pronounced, even when the subject is further away
Selfiecamera portrait mode!
The most notable is that the S8 has lots more dynamic range when HDR is turned off. This benefits social media apps such as videochatting, snapchat, instagram etc...
The front facing camera offers Auto Focus and is so far ahead of it's competition, it's crazy. I really love it's 'flat' colors combined with the crazy dynamic range even when using it with snapchat. I will post pictures later.

Here is something i took quickly last sunday

They were all expecting something outworldy and not almost same as last year, which is still ine of the best.

Miami?

Does the S8 tend to take photos a little on the warmer side compared with say a Pixel?

Improve Night Photography with Snap Camera HDR

I came across this thread on reddit yesterday, by user Chlastek, about how low light photography could be improved on the P2. It's basically a simple process as long as you're rooted. I was skeptical initially because I have previously tried several camera apps (open camera, oneplus, etc...) and didn't quite see the purported "noticeable improvement". I checked the sample photos he provided and was surprised that they were really from the P2. I tried it out myself and the photos came out less grainy, sharper, and just better overall.
Check his thread on reddit for more details. All credits go to him; I'm just the messenger.

This Camera app is a great upgrade for our p2 but not a magic application... unfortunately.
After different tests, we can have good results and "correct photos" in the worst conditions :

Thank you so much for sharing this!
I've been trying out the various camera apps and ports for a while now, but results were always disappointing!
This one is absolutely awesome, and by my tests it works pretty well on daylight too.. if you zoom the pictures taken in auto mode with low light mode on you'll notice they don't have that terrible high-contrast post processing you get with the other apps
Just in case someone's having trouble finding "low light mode" (like I was), in settings - other - Use Camera2 API -> On

Hi
I installed as above but was getting the legacy warning for api2 and read the below which is from the xda thread for the snap camera app.
So not sure if it actually works better (on Lenovo p2) ?
Qte:
I'm almost certain that your phone won't support Camera2, if you get a message about being in "legacy" mode when switching to it then you should never use camera2 mode.
Edit: disregard above had a typo in the command line of build.prop. now there is no more warning about legacy more. Installed also Google camera her+ with same tweak in build prop

Yup I have been using snap cam HDR for low light..... It's superb with less noise and more details....

[TUTORIAL] How to improve Snap Camera in LineageOS 15.1

Hello guys, I'think I found a nice configuration for the settings of Snap Camera app (stock camera in LineageOS 15.1).
You'll get a lot more sharpness and details for your photos, even if some noise may occour (but in good light conditions the results are very good and crisp).
The main settings I found to be influent are:
PICTURE QUALITY -> Set to HIGH
SHARPNESS -> Set to LEVEL 6
DENOISE - > Set to OFF
"Auto HDR" doesn't work on Snap Camera for whyred, so I think it's better to leave it to OFF and select manual HDR from the Scene icon whenever you want/need it.
I show you all the settings down here: let me know what you think!

If you are on LineageOS 15.1 you can see by yourself: essentially with this configuration you get a boost in sharpness and definition, the only downside is that you obsviously get more noise on your photos...
In good light conditions you get excellent shots, but in low light conditions the noise is a bit predominant

Hello,
I've tried little comparaison between stock camera LineageOS 15.1 <> Mi A2 Ported camera for Whyred devices (installed with Magisk) : the second is far better in low light condition (both sharpness set to max, no HDR, quality max, 3200 ISO, no noise reduction). The LOS cam have too much red color noise, but a little more sharpness (to much and not natural to my opinion).

It depends on how you see noise and sharpness in photos: for me a boost in sharpness and noise is quite good for good-lighting photos, because it gives a lot more detail to the scene (even if could be unnatural, I know)
In low-lighting photos it's suggested to use a noise reducing filter, I agree

Mi 10 Ultra - Camera quality issues

I've had my Mi 10 Ultra, running the xiaomi.eu ROM, for nearly a year or so. I've found the telephoto camera quality to be very good with still subjects, but introduce any kind of motion to the scene, and it is far worse than the Motorola One Zoom I had before.
Here's an example, a slightly cropped photo from the 5x camera, tracking a moving car:

What exactly is going on here? The panel gaps between the doors as well as at the base of the A-pillar have multiplied! Likewise, there's ghosting right by the door handles! My hypothesis is that the camera takes multiple exposures and then haphazardly merges them into one. This makes the camera absolutely useless at photographing anything moving. Hell, I get better quality using stills from a video with the 5x camera than by taking an actual photograph!
So; is there any way to turn this crap off? The photo above is taken in Pro mode with manual settings, and all AI things are turned off already...

Have you tried using the "Pro" mode to set custom shutter speeds yourself?
I find it usually works well, although sometimes I need to turn HDR off to stop the multi-exposure capture if the object is moving too fast.

The attached photo was taken in Pro mode, no HDR.
I don't believe this is an exposure time issue, as parts of the car are sharp, and anyway these flaws look a lot more akin to what you'd find in a poorly stitched panorama. You can also see the pattern on the road surface looks weird, as if it was clone-brushed or something.

You should try gcam. It becomes a real photo camera... Xiaomi processing is very poor compared to Google's.

I have GCam installed, but rarely use it due to the lack of manual settings. Perhaps I'll give it a try with moving subjects, though. Thanks for the idea.
EDIT: tried it, GCam doesn't produce these exposure fusion artefacts at all.
