Hi guys,
I appreciate that this is a specific Mix 2 question but couldnt see a mix 2 section yet to post in.
I recieved my Mix 2 about a week ago and my first impressions are that its a great phone - it does everything I want....... apart from when it comes to the cameras.
Firstly, the quality is pretty bad and a large step back from the oppo find 7 I am switching from. Both front and rear facing cameras fail to properly focus and always seem to take photos like there is a dirty lens, a sort of soft look, most obvious when photographing text, which just isnt sharp at all.
Secondly, it appears that the second rear facing camera doesn't do anything - is it even real?!? I believe its there for the optical zoom option, but even when you zoom in with the camera app, you can still cover this camera and it has no effect on the photo, therefore it is not used.
Any ideas on how to improve the picture quality? I presume its going to be a case of waiting for Doogee or some developers to take this device on to update the firmware......
Thanks

A new update of the firmware is being "cooked" to solve this problem.
I know that will be released soon.

It would be great... Camera performance is the main issue of the device. On the other hand, all the other features are quite well
Sorry to put this query here. Even i haven't got any place to right it down. I also have a same problem. Rear camera not working. Bought this phone specially for camera specifications. When will be the updates release to make the second rear camera work. Even 8 MP Nokia camera takes better picture than this 16 MP. And there are many bugs. Many apps crashes. And on YouTube I have seen many videos which shows many camera app showing 4k video recording option, but I think that was after update and I still haven't received it.i show that video 1 month back.
New update from company has improved the camera lil bit. But still not a usable one. And it keeps on hunting for focus in video.
From morning all Google apps are getting closed by itself. Please help to solve the issue in mix 2
no updates have improved the camera on this phone for me so far. Taking photos of static images is ok - maybe 6/10, if I use whatsapp to take a photo of anything it always appears very soft and a little blurred. If I try to take a photo of my cat.....no chance, the shutter is so slow, unless the object doesnt move at all you cant capture the image. I do like the phone and previously havent been bothered about camera specs, but that was when all my previous phones could take decent pictures. This might be the reason I get rid of this phone in a few months, it turns out a decent camera is a must for me - I was spoilt with my Oppo find 7, which had an incredible camera

+1 about camera perfrmance, i bought it to do a review and the camera is the worst thing in an otherwise decent phone. I did a comparison with the honor 7x, which has a much better camera at the same price.

Hallo guys, there isn't a procedure to flash Google camera hdr+ on this smartphone o mediatek CPU. I founded everything for Qualcomm but nothing to mediatek.
I've found a lot of topics but none discuss in fact wich is the best camera app for Redmi Note 7 (Global Version).
I love the camera lens, but the stock camera app not so much... Wich one you thing is the best camera app ever for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
Paid, Ported, Free,...
I'm also very interested in this.
I've never installed a different camera app to a phone before, but the default app doesn't seem very good, and if there's better to be had I want it.
I constantly hear praise for Gcam, but it sounds like there's many different ports of it and no real clear answer on which one works the best.
Bumping this question, and ignoring the fact that the OP is talking about lavender and not violet, but are there any good Camera apps for the RN7P yet?
I've got the China RN7P and i've flashed crDroid onto it, but now that i'm looking into it, i'm having trouble finding a good working cam.
All of the Gcam ports i've tried have failed to recognize the 48MP rear camera, and completely hides the "Gcam settings" option so I can't even re-balance the terrible saturation.
I've also tried crDroid's default camera and Open Camera from the play store, both of which also didn't let the rear camera go above 12MP, and the pictures they took didn't stand up to what even the 12MP Gcams took (minus ruined saturation).
So is there anyway to get Gcam with 48MP and functional settings working on a custom rom, or is there any third party camera app that can recognise the 48MP on a custom rom and get close to Gcam's quality?
and if no to both of those, any idea how long it might take for a working 48MP camera to be working on a custom rom'd RN7P?

Try Portrait mode on gcam. It takes 48MP photos by default.

Excuse the messy living room pictures, and the fact that they're rotated despite being upright on my pc
but there's no difference at all, even in the properties of the images.
Pretty much same image quality, exact same resolution, and the settings still only says 12MP without an option for 48MP.
The first image is from 'camera' and the second image is from 'portrait' (which for some reason always takes pictures in burst mode).
Also I don't really know what level of quality I should be getting from the RN7P's camera, but I get the feeling they shouldn't be this visibly blurred and noisy.

I own the Chinese Redmi Note 7 Pro (Violet)
Back when I was on MIUI 10, the MIUI camera app did recognize the 48MP camera, so it does have it.
Unless I somehow got sent the Indian version instead, in which case, i'd be pretty upset because it also has worse bands for my country too.

I tried both the xtreme and fu24 versions of gcam posted here in the Mi 9 forums, but both of them still only let me go up to 12MP in the settings.
The xtreme version took identical pictures in both 'camera' and 'portrait' mode just like the other gcams I've tried, and the fu24 version refused to even take a picture in 'portrait' mode.
Use Gcam 6.1 And Click Photo in Portrait Mode after Select Photo without Blur in Gallery.
Portrait Mode Support 48MP.

Thanks, it seems to work great!
It's a bit hard to tell if pro mode is actually taking 48MP pics with the current bug that puts out small resolution images, but hopefully that should be fixed soon.

Hey can you try the Gcam 6.1.021 Note7pro
I can't post the download link because I'm a New member sorry. ?
You have to use portrait mode to get full 48MP photos.
Also to get the best possible results increase the saturation to 1.6 in settings and in Gcam settings enable HDR+ for portrait mode and disable Zoom in portrait mode to avoid the crop that Gcam has on it's photos.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I've tried 3 different ports of Gcam 6.1.021 and one port of Gcam 6.2.something
Even in portrait mode, the pictures it takes aren't 48MP, I've even posted examples in this thread.
No matter which port I used, what settings I changed or what mode I used, all the pictures came out the same.
12MP, and a resolution of 4000x3000

Just a thought here because I might be wrong but could gcam only be finding 12mp because of the pixel binning? Essentially, from what I've read and seen the sensor combines 4x 12mp to create the 48mp. I'm running the rn7 myself and see no difference between 12mp and 48mp in pro mode apart from being able to zoom slightly more on the higher mp shot.

Actually, the main camera sensor is a real Sony IMX586 48MP. The reason you don't see any difference between 12MP and 48MP is because both the photos are coming from a same sensor. It's just that the former one is pixel binned to decrease photo size and capture more light.
I believe True 48 MP mode can only be accessed using proper camera libs. Otherwise you can only get the 12 MP Mode

Take a pic in night with both the modes in RN7 PRO with Sony IMX586. You'll see the difference. Not sure about samsung sensor.
Please, what is the best settings for my GCAM for best photography
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.
Hi
As the poco f2 and the redmi k30 pro zoom are basically the same phones
Can I replace the original camera with the ones from the k30 pro?
You can get the module with all cameras for 14€
I know it will void my warranty but I don't care
Technically I can open the device and replace the camera
But will it work? The main camera I am sure will work because it's the same sensor and you will gain OIS
But I am a little worried about the fact that the macro camera at the same time gets replaced with the zoom camera and I doubt the camera software can handle that?
Any ideas?
First you need to open the case like he does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZWMxwcFZOc
If your idea will work, dunno. Try it if you want.
Yes I know how to open the device and replace the camera
But I wonder if it's useless to try or the change is pretty good that it might work
OIS is not added by updates or other similar things. It is added to the structure as a movable lens that prevents vibration. You cant add OIS, because poco f2 pro does not have a movable lens

So if you buy a camera module with lens from K30 zoom that has OIS then Poco F2 Pro will have OIS.
Though I'm not sure if there has to be some sort of firmware 'flag' that activates OIS in camera apps. Only way to know is to try I guess.
The replacement camera module contains the ois parts of it as its the complete module but it includes all cameras Incl the zoom one
I am not worried about the main shooter this one will work because it is the same one just ois but I am worried about the zoom camera replacing the makro

i think it will work but you would need to rebrand your phone to k30 pro zoom for telephoto module properly work with stock system for that device
It will work, do it.
if so, does it need any software changes to recognize the new camera configuration?
For 14 bucks just do it

I don t think so. Usually that kind of information like OIS, EIS support and so on are written into the low level microfirmware of the device (camera in this case). Then is the OS and app that read those information and use it.

even if the type of camera is changed? because there would be a Telephoto instead of Macro
Go for it, if all the connections of the board and cameras are the same. It should work.
I think you'll maybe need to flash the k30 pro's firmware but I'm not sure about that
not workin like that..
Sorry if the question sounds sassy, but why not buy the version you want, rather than bother with a hack that obviously won't work ?

Life is full of compromises, sometimes we do with a 4g tape less because the device is really cool and cheap
Or you choose a device available in your country with the required functions, there are options that require you to put the price or buy a real high-end product sometimes
You can't have everything for 300 € with a Poco product, I love mine but you have to be realistic

What has any of this got to do with replacing the camera module for a better one??
Hi, while I was doing some "experiments" (better not ask...) on my OP7, I accidentally hit the upper rear camera (the 5 mpx one) and cut its flat cable. The main rear camera is ok. Now the built-in camera app is not working anymore, it says that it found some problem with the camera hardware and close itself, while other apps work fine (for example whatsapp camera or open camera from playstore).
Replacing that cam is a joke, since the battery cover is already removed, but I have trouble finding the spare part. All of the cameras I have found on the internet are only the main one (48 mpx). I was able to find only one ebay sale with both of the cams but it costs 50€ which is probably more than shipping the phone directly to Oneplus for the repair.
Do anyone know where I can find this cam? Or maybe a code for it that I can search?
