I'm using the default camera app on Beanstalk and I've also installed the 4.4 camera app but I experienced the same issue.
I don't even have the option to use HDR on the main camera and I've looked through the settings, but can't find anything relating to it.
By HDR mode I mean the front camera takes several pictures with different exposures and merges them together, it's annoying because it takes about 2 seconds and you must hold camera perfectly still to get it not to be blurry.
If I use the front camera while using Snapchat I do not have any issues. Any idea what could be causing this? How else should troubleshoot?
When I use the camera app, the image seems normal, but when using snapchat the front camera is "zoomed in" I guess. Is there anyway to fix this?
My OP6 is very slow to capture a photo when pressing the shutter button on the stock camera. I changed to the GCAM, which is a bit buggy, but will capture a photo very quickly. How can I speed up the stock camera? I only need the stock camera as when I double press the lock button to open the camera, it won't automatically open GCAM, even though I set it as the default app.
Also, neither of the apps I have support HDR, why is this? I can't find it anywhere in the settings.
Edit: I am on the latest update available for the OP6. My stock camera app only has 3 options at the top of the screen, timer, size and flash. GCAM is the same
i thought i read somewhere about waving at the camera and it then taking a picture. i have tried the back lens and selfie lens and its not working for me.
i have looked in the camera settings and found nothing.
is it working for anyone?
tnx
here's a link to the info, does anyone have this feature?
i do not. no settings option while in front camera mode.

I have and it works just fine.
yeah i was choosing the wrong option. selecting selfie icon does not give me the settings to turn on. if i choose front camera i can set the settings.
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.
