Hi,
I was wondering if this is normal on my Touch PRO.
When I launch "Camera" app, go to settings and tap "Flash Light", the LED turns on and lights constantly until I tap it again to disable.
Accoring to manual (and common sense) it should allow the LED to make a high powered burst when shooting photo, and not just light constantly (I thought that 'torch' apps are for that).
In few words: My Touch PRO "flash light" LED works like a torch, not like flash.
Do you get this behaviour ?
Is it normal for a LED-enabled camera phone ?
Cheers
dont have a pro yet, but from what Ive read and seen on reviews its supposed to do that. It stays on then flashes when you take a picture. No need for a torch application..
hi
I get the same, when you turn the flash on the light comes on, when you take a pic it flashes gos out for 2-3 sec then turns back on.
This is normal behaviour. It was on my Hermes as well. The LED is enabled, but not at "full" extend. The light is meant so that the camera can focus when you are taking a photo in a dark environment. At the moment you make the actual photo, the LED lights up brighter for a second.
This behavior is necessary for taking pictures. The camera app assumes that if you turn on the flash, the ambient light level is low.
The flash then lights up at a medium level to help you frame the shot on the screen (that would otherwise be too dark or too noisy to see anything).
Finally, once you actually take the picture it flashes at full power to allow for a decent exposure.
I hope it helps.
Does exist any shortcut or program to turn on the flash light without starting up the Camera app for using it as a torch?
at the moment, no.
The usual suspect, VJCandela, doesn't seem to work with the Raphael just yet.
I like the Manual mode on the camera than Auto, specially when using the flash, because it's to washed out on auto.
When I pressed the shutter key, it goes to auto mode. How can I make it to Manual mode as default?
You can't.
We should be able to once we get root, this was available with previous camera mods.
Ive noticed this a few times when changing from auto mode to gif mode and back again, the resolution stays at 6mp even when switching back to auto.
Its very annoying and end up taking a couple of pictures before i realize they have been taken at 6mp.
Anyone noticed or has a work around for this?
Hello, White balance and field of view slightly changes in 3x and 5x zoom mode every time about 3 seconds after changing the target from short distance to long distance, or coming back from review to live, or coming back from display off to on. So I have to wait for 3 seconds to shoot. It's possible to do tap focus and taking a photo before it happens but normally it happens while I'm preparing and after this happend, I have to do tap focus again. Same in photo mode and pro mode. AI does'n"t matter. No problem in 1x mode. Is this normal for P30? Is there a work around? EMUI is 9.1.0. , I don't like update firmware unless the situation is clear.
I'm just curious about how people use Photo Pro. When I turn on Photo Pro, it goes directly to Shutter Speed mode. I have auto-focus continuous on, focus area wide, and meter area multi. I initially shoot with single-exposure and only move to continuous shooting as needed. Flash is off, white balance is auto, Auto HDR and D-'Range Optimizer are off. I have the histogram turned on.
I'm curious about your starting point and any observations you have on my parameters.
Might have to look under settings and see what it says under there like last mode or something
Thanks. I have that one set to open in Photo Pro on last mode used. It opens to "S-Mode", shutter speed priority.
