1.) why is the camera photo quality so horrible even with camera mods and everything? is it the lens or the software?
2.) why cant we take 5MP 3d photos? both cameras are 5MP..can this be solved with software?
3.) why cant we choose which camera we want to use (left or right) for 2d video recording/still camera. its not very useful for most but for people like me who got some dust under the main camera lens cover and not able to remove, it would be useful
and if u have any ideas how to remove the dust under camera lens cover please tell me!
1. Definitely the software. I believe all the mods are just modding the stock camera and increasing their bitrate and quality. However, that's not really fixing up other issues so the image quality still looks bad. But for proof that its not the lens, download a camera app called Camera360. Try it out, I've never taken more beautiful pictures with a phone before. So yea, I believe its all just in the image technology LG used for their images.
2. Not sure.
3. shrug* your guess is as good as mine.
Why is the camera soooo slowwww? or is it the camera app?
To speed up the stock camera set your focus (in camera settings) to continuous - nice quick snaps..... the focus may be off for close shots but those you can use macro or auto (just on auto its MUCH slower!)
A class 10 SD card will also help with speed if you are saving to the external SD card
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has an amazing camera. For years I had Android phones and had a few favorite camera apps I used. The 1020 uses a different system, "lenses", but really it's the same idea I think. To get an effect like pencil sketch, you need to first download a new "lense" app. My problem is that the lense effects ONLY work on the camera and not the video camera. Does anyone know of a lense effect app that works on the video camera? Or one that works in the ultra high resolution mode? Thus far only the Nokia app works in high res mode, and I have found no effects for the video camera mode which leaves me still occasionally using my Android phone. Any ideas?
Hello community.
I havent had much of a chance to mess around with the camera settings but i have a question. I want to try to take the best pics possible but using the most native settings based on the sensor size. Does anyone know what the true native sensor size is and what is the native resolution of this device. It seems to default to 8MP but its branded as a 20MP picture. I want to avoid overly processed photos.
The back camera module is a Sony RS IM20 (Same as Z1/Z2.)
20.7 MP (5264 х 3960)
7.87 mm, 1/2.3"

Google Camera? Camera Zoom FX? The default? What's working for you?
Same question here, stock camera is okay, but is there another app that will save to SD card beside stock

I use the stock app for videos, OpenCamera for stills, Freedcam for landscapes using RAW mode , and Google Camera - if I want panorama or photo-sphere.
'A Better Camera' - will save to SD card. It is pretty nice - but I uninstalled it after I realized that the free version had a limitation of number of HDRs pictures it allows.

Using stock, OpenCamera, A BetterCamera. I like OpenCamera except it doesn't yet support writing to external SD.
My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?
I use Camera FV-5.

Does it allow saving to the external sd on lollipop? As far as I know only the stock camera allows that.
Camera FV-5 I found does not work for some reason on the Idol. I start the camera and get a black screen. I do get the settings but nothing else but a black screen. I going to contact app developer soon about it.
The best camera so far (for any device) it's procapture because: it can silent all the sounds (except those in whats app), it can put the grip on and it can capture just by touch. Besides theese, there are many-many other settings as wb, iso, hdr, light mode etc

Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.
Does anybody know of a third party app that supports all the S10+'s cameras? I noticed that WhatsApp and VSCO support the wide camera to some extent: when switching between front and back, it will alternate between the normal and the wide camera. But obviously, that's not as elegant as the camera selection buttons in the Samsung app.
Alternatively, can I install the Samsung camera app when I flash another ROM?
