Hey everyone! Hope you're all well, and safe.
I am trying to make a time-lapse using the default Sony/Sukros app, but when i start the timelapse, the lens loses focus straight away, especially if i'm trying to capture the horizon/skyline.
I've tried all the different focus settings like manual, macro, auto, continious ( i don't even know what they do or efere to)
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix?
Hi,
I recognized similar issues with focus and ISO in the 960fps feature. Guess the reason therefore are deleted DRM-keys during bootloader unlock.
Is yours also unlocked?
Use manual mode, and set the focus distance with the slider. There is an update coming out very soon with lots of bug fixes. If you need it sooner PM me.

No, my device is unrooted/stock and has never been unlocked.
I also installed the app today - following link just to ensure it is the same
(play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sukros.timelapse)
played around a little (manual focus included). Maybe the distance you chose is out of the technical or software supported range...
I will try tomorrow again with different optical lenses

Hi there, I'd love to buys this phone cos of physical shutter button and battery life...
BUT!!!
The camera seems to lack full manual controls, so I've read that Manual Camera is compatible with the Z5 and brings control over shutter speed, manual focus and so on. But not RAW and I can live with that.
So, have anyone tried this app yet? Or could do me the huge favour to test the demo version to see if it fully works? A video would be great, but I would just accept a yes or no.
That's what i got.

Yeah I've seen that image. I was wondering if was really working
No the camera and the phone freeze while trying use any of the manual mode.

Although it says manual ISO and shutter, I am guessing it has to use the ISO to change the shutter speed?
So, this camera phone............kind of camera phone..........is totally useless to me. Let's get a Sammy S6.
I also want to know which app can allow me to manual focus, adjust shutter speed and change ISO. I have tried Camera FV-5 but also not working.
It"s a app from. Nextbit port by ninnix96..i found that it has manual camera mode.
Working:
In the Cross hair mode you can set your own focus point.
Other wise the Iso, Ev and White balance is working good.
Pinch to Zoom is working.
Bug: Manual Focus is no different then Auto mode.
the default resolution on back camera was set to 0 Mpixel. It was easy to just chose 13 Mpixel to get it right.
When restarting the app all settings is lost. No memmorh from last time used.
Thanks to xda member tissot for knowing us what is working and what is not.

Try not to make two posts like this.. You have to erase the other one OP.

One problem that where easy to fix was that the default resolution on back camera was set to 0 Mpixel. It was easy to just chose 13 Mpixel to get it right.
When restarting the app all settings is lost. No memmorh from ladt time used.

Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue with burst shooting.
When I burst-shoot photos in mid to low light conditions using the HTC stock camera app, I can see that most of the photos (except the first 3-5 photos) are filled with colorful noise all over them...
I'm using an EMEA HTC U11 128GB model with 1.27.401.5 software and camera app v9.20.9740975.
Am I the only one that facing this issue?
Please refer to the attachments to see the problem yourself.
Left image is the third burst-shot and looks OK.
Right image is the fifth burst-shot and looks very grainy (all the burst shots from the 5th and on look like that)
There is nothing wrong with it. Burst mode does not have the noise reduction algorithms which are available in hdr auto mode. Therefore these shots are perfectly normal in bad light conditions. Mine does the same.

When I capture burst shots on the ported google camera app, all photos are looking just fine without all that densed noise so I think you are wrong. You can try it yourself.
Something is very wrong with this feature on stock camera app on my side, I'm sure that it doesn't need to look like that at all.
I see a clear difference between the 3 to 5 first shots and all the rest, it's like they were taken by a different sensor!
I thought you were asking if your phone has a problem or not, so I answered according to what I understood.
It's how the stock camera app is. It needs some updates to fix these issues, there is nothing we can do about it except waiting.
I do believe that google camera is superior to stock app with good settings in almost every condition therefore I use google camera.

Thanks for the clarification.
Meanwhile I will continue to use burst captures only on Google Camera app.
Hope that HTC knows about this issue and trying to fix this as we speak. :fingers-crossed:
Has anyone else also noticed photos come out with weird, massively boosted brightness and everything when taken with 2x zoom or higher on stock camera? Strange thing is even at 1.9x zoom everything is fine but 2x and beyond the photo is basically ruined because of this. Very annoying.
HDR and other enhancements are turned off, yet this occurs.
Doesn't happen on GCam. Any idea/solutions? Thanks
Tried here. No issue. And 2x zoom photo from stock cam was better than GCam 8.3 for me.
Didi you activate HDR and IA options in stock cam?
Yes they're all deactivated. No problem upto 1.9x zoom, but as soon as 2x zoom is engaged, there's a sudden although small change on viewfinder white balance. And final photos look extremely bright and noisy compared to 1.9x and below, as if some weird filter is put on. I've downgraded the camera but still happens.
Btw, bootloader is unlocked, not sure if that's got anything to do with it.
Its interesting if you don't have this problem. What's ur software channel and build number? Thanks
Without this bug, you'll generally get better zoomed images on stock camera because it'll use 64mp crop instead of only 16mp recognized by GCam. But this bug ruins it.
Unzoomed though, GCam's HDR+ is still the best.
Just discovered this thread.
Yes, I have the same problem. But it looks like the effect is not the same everytime. Maybe depending on light (indoors vs. outdoors)?
I noticed it happens when i zoom in in worse scenes. It could be that the automatic camera mode is overcompensating by cranking the iso way too high. Have you tried using the pro camera mode?

Yes, but I don't think pro mode uses 64mp crop like auto mode, just a crop of 16mp, which doesn't have much detail that's required during zoom. Also it's annoying trying to switch to pro mode everytime.
It's not happening because of the lamps above, it happens on natural lighting too. It happens when camera focuses to a new area where the lighting level is different. Is this a defect, or is it the same for everyone ?
Here are 2 example videos:
It's really weird because it doesn't happen on the photo mode or on other apps when i'm taking a video, it only happens in the camera app video section. It happens on auto fps mode too. I tried taking videos with other phones on the same condition, and they just focus normally without that weird flicker. Is this a software issue or is my camera defective ?
Would be happy if y'all can help, thank you.

Already a Thread here:
Video Flickering at 60fps
Anyone else notice this? I did find a small thread on Samsung.com so not sure if its a hardware issue or if all of them have it. -...
forum.xda-developers.com
@hyelton check this, the exact same problem. Hope it's not a hardware problem and they fix it with an update
Yep same issue here. Glad I'm not the only one to notice the issue

Do you think it's a software problem ? Wish other people checked this and reported here too. Did you report it to Samsung ?
Does it happen if the camera is held in the proper orientation, i.e. landscape? Portrait mode should never be used for video capture. Hopefully in the future *all* phones will properly capture video in landscape mode regardless if the user holds it vertically or not!

What about a different camera app? I use Filmic Pro and have never seen this.
If I did, it would definitely raise cause for alarm!

Orientation and auto fps doesn't matter, it still happens. My post also says it doesn't happen on other apps.
I'm so happy to say that May update I just received (S908EXXU2AVDA) fixed this problem. Can you check if it's fixed for you too ? @hyelton I tried every specific condition that it flickered before and it doesn't flicker anymore, made me happy that it wasn't a hardware problem and they were aware of the issue.
Does it happen with adaptive refresh rate?
Because some apps flicker when this is turned on.

No, it was happening on 60fps video shooting, it's not about 120hz. It got fixed with the May update.
