Dear Fellows, Salaam
I own Vivo V15 from sometime. It is a good camera phone but it doesn't contain macro lense.
We have seen many phones, in recent times, which use ultrawide camera lense for macro/close-up photos (OnePlus 7 is an example).
So is it possible that we may do the same? Is there any tweak, trick and any app that can do this?
Looking forward.

I am using Vivo V15 Pro, how to shoot near object?
Yes you can.. For that you've you've to open up back cover case and remove 4 small epoxy glue on the ultra wide sensor and manually adjust the foucus by rotating the sensor... (I work in vivo service center) I'll try to show the method tomorrow.. I've already tested this on Vivo y93..I made the use of secondary sensor as micro lens successfully

Greetings my dear Mi A1 brethren! Today I am the bearer of bad news for you guys. From unreleased source codes to headphone hissing. This problem is the final nail in Xiaomi's coffin for me. I will never ever buy another Xiaomi device again.
I have reason to believe that the "dual" camera setup on the Xiaomi is FAKE! Let me show you. Follow these steps:
1) Open up the camera app.
2) Cover ONE of the two camera lenses at the back with your finger.
2) Zoom in to 2x mode (or greater).
Did you notice something? THE CAMERA LENSES DO NOT SWITCH! The main point of the Mi A1's dual camera setup is that one lens is wide angle and the other is telephoto (as mentioned on their website). When you zoom in, the app should automatically switch cameras.
Another test is that the dual camera setup should provide a background blur (bokeh effect) on objects that are up close to the camera. Cover a lens with one of your fingers and you'll see that either the camera gets blocked by the finger or the blur effect still remains (regardless of the fact that TWO cameras are needed for a proper bokeh effect)!
Both these tests prove that one of the Xiaomi Mi A1 cameras is a dummy. Has Xiaomi lied to us again? Why would Google let them do this?
Or is it that I don't understand how dual cameras work? Someone please enlighten me. I feel I've wasted 250$ of my hard earned cash on a scam
EDIT: Nevermind! I just found out it does work. But only in manual mode or portrait mode. Strange that the app does not switch to telephoto mode automatically. Perhaps in a future update.
Have you tried manual mode

Yes, I did. I've edited the OP. I feel like a goof for not trying that first
No its real!
Try that in outdoor lighting conditions.
In natural lighting cover the zoom lens, and then hit the 2x zoom.
You will notice that the zoom lens is functional in good lighting conditions, not in bad light conditions.
Same with the portrait mode, thats why it is recommended to use 2x optical zoom and portrait mode in outdoor lighting conditions.
The camera decides if it should use digital zoom or telephoto lens depending on light conditions. Telephoto zoom only works with a lot of light(like portrait). If there is not enough light, digital zoom from wide angle lens is better. This even happens on iphone 7plus/8plus camera set up(if there is not enough light they just use digital zoom). However, I think that maybe it switches to wide angle digital zoom sometimes in good light conditions.
I can understand that you were concerned but please test things thoroughly before posting (or maybe Google it out). Actually the telephoto camera have a narrower aperture then the main camera. So it captures less light then the primary camera. When who cover the telephoto camera to see if it is working or not, then hit x2, it detects that there is low light (since you are covering the lens) & hence uses the primary camera. Okay, so this is how you should have tested. First go to a very will lit environment, then select 2x zoom, and then try covering the telephone camera. You will get the proper results. Hope this helps.
It's the same in Oneplus 5, for example!
Telephoto works properly only in good light situation

If you want to know before clicking a photo which lens is used for 2x zoom just look at the animation when you use the zoom button. If theirs an animation of zooming then it's digital zoom & if it is directly switching to 2x or 1x then it is actually switching between the lenses. And it won't change with a future update too as the OP hopes. Works the same way even on iPhones. It OK to have questions but you went too far calling it a scam, fake & never buying from Xiaomi again.

But please help me, now my stock camera app there is no portrait and 2x mode , they're disappear after i've flash it to RR custom rom, but when i back to stock rom through miflash, the camera is still facing the same problems
Hi,
So the Nokia 7 plus is supposed to have a Secondary telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom. But there is no way(not that I am aware of) in the Nokia camera app to use that lens.
There is a button for 2x zoom in the camera interface. But when you click that the secondary camera is not used. It is digitally zooms with the primary lens.
I was curious if the telephoto lens is actually being used or not, so i clicked different pictures with 1x and 2x zoom and when I compared the info of the pictures, both the 1x as well as 2x pictures were using the same 12.2MP/f1.8 lens.
simpler confirmation, switch 2x button and put your thumb on second lens
This makes the secondary lens just a decoration if you can't use it. (unless for the portrait shots, which I don't think is very convenient, but that's another story).
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to use the optical zoom features or is Nokia missing so something.
I have attached pictures I took.

It indeed uses second lens when you click 1x button. The metadata is added by camera software. If what you say is true, it's just a bug in the camera software where it just stamps the first lens info on all photos.

@spark25 The camera app has been using only the primary camera for me since I bought the device, and 2x mode is digital zoom. Even in the latest camera update. The only place where telephoto activates is the portrait (bokeh) mode.
Maybe they will utilize it in Pie, as it includes multi-camera api so there could be smooth transition between the two camera streams.
Edit: It does use the telephoto camera lens when there is a good lighting.

Try putting your thumb on the secondary lens when zooming.

Yes, and more solid confirmation :highfive:
Noisy shots on bokeh mode
Can someone confirm if pictures taken from the bokeh mode turn out too noisy and pixelated? The picture is very grainy and loses everything on zooming in.
The tele Lens only activates under certain conditions, when it can focus on far objects with good lighting otherwise it will use the normal lens with smaller aperture.
The secondary camera only works under certain conditions and I can confirm that if you your place the finger in front of it it just digitally zooms. It probably works only in good lighting.

The 2x Tele Lens only works when there's a good amount of light is available. (Since, photos taken with 2x Lens is bad at dark)
However, there's a trick that works sometimes:
Point your camera with with 2x Zoom at a bright white spot(area) or a bright white wall, the software will automatically switch into 2x Tele lens.
Keep in mind, using 2x Lens at dark doesn't give good results. The photos quality is worse at dark with 2x Lens (because of grainy and dark pictures)
Hi all,
several days ago I noticed that the camera of my Mate 9 (MHA-L09C432) is not focusing.
Then I saw at this this thread that the camera module could be shifted.
Because the focus is working in properly in b/w mode I gave it a try.
Today I disassembled my phone (which was not easy) and saw that the bottom part of the dual camera module was slipped out of the fixture for 1-2mm.
After correcting this problem, cleaning the lenses and reassembling the phone I am now able to focus on objects in a range of about 1m again. But if the camera is not parallel to the object it is very difficult to focus...
But the main problem is, that i am not able to focus on an object which is more than 1m away... The object is always blurry and when i choose manual focus I am already on the maximum of the focus range...
In b/w mode everything works perfectly fine!
I cant see any impurities on the color-lens...
Does anybody have similar issues? What could be done to solve this problem? Could a new camera module solve this problem?
Thank you for any help in advance!
I fixed this problem by replacing the entire camera module.
I tried several things but only this solved the problem...
I do have the same problem exactly
So you probably have to replace your camera module...
The Mate 9 is not so easy to open up...

I replaced camera module, and it worked for a few days then the same issue returned. It will focus close up (-+ 1m distance) but far distance 3m to infinity will be out of focus. I can get the camera to refocus correctly (sometimes!) by sharply slapping the phone display face down onto the palm of my hand. It only works face down.
This happens with origin camera lens and replacement lens I installed.
I guess my only solution to have a working color camera on a phone is to buy a new phone that isn't made by Huawei, as a search of Internet suggests it isn't just Mate9 model that has this problem??

Sounds like your camera is slipping inside the bracket... I revented this problem by pressing the camera module in place and carefully fixing it with hot glue... Don't block the autofocus or the lens with hot glue. Only a very thin layer from the edge of the camera case to the bracket is required.

Thanks for feedback, I will try again to install the camera more securely.

I tried fixing the camera in the 'bracket' as you say - by glueing it down. Its just a space on the board it fits into, so I'm not sure about any bracket. I have now tried it with two camera modules (the original and a replacement I bought). Both cameras give the same unfocused result on anything more than 1-2 m away. Strangely on scenic shots some parts of the shot are in focus whilst most of the scene is out of focus. The front camera and monochrome camera are OK. The aperture option on the color camera doesn't work at all, if I try and edit depth of field after taking photo it has no effect. There's also a setting in the camera app to restore defaults, which has no effect also.
So I just got the OnePlus 7 Pro, and the phone is amazing, but I feel like the phone is unnecessarily switching from telephoto camera to the main wide camera and digitally zooming in, when there is still a lot of light in the frame. Is there any way to force the phone to use the telephoto camera, even at night? Like some camera mod or something like that.
And my second question is, is there a Camera M mod for the OP7 Pro? I want to turn off the denoising process on the camera, but I am unable to find the mod that works with the 7 Pro.
Thanks!
Best will be to use the GCAM, if you are rooted. Cover the main lens with finger and wait a while it will switch to telephoto or try switching between wide and telephoto while covering main lens with finger. There is no Camera M mod as far as i know. Google cam will satisfy your needs IMO.
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
