Does OIS enable only when super stable turned on? - OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers

I'm having a small question ,Does OIS enable only if I set super stable mode enabled or is OIS always in action when I use the main camera?
.I feel in my NORD they don't install the camera module with OIS on it.

[Q] Force macro mode in camera

Hi guys!
I have tried many camera apps but is there any way to force macro mode camera for moto g (xt1033)?
When taking some photos it does not focus when object is near and background is at a distance from it. The camera tends to focus at background.
Enable the option "selective focus" in the camera app so you can set the focus and exposure point. If this does not work (I bet it works) you can try FX Camera or some app like that.

Here is the fix for purple colour on exposed areas on S7 Exynos. I only fixed Pixel XL device, so use that. As a side affect noise increased... But well lit shots are very sharp in portrait mode now.
You can enable HDR+ for front, but it is very unstable. Success depends on exposure somehow. If it hangs, you have to restart the app to take hdr shots again.
Reenabled medium,very high etc hdr settings. Not that I see any difference in quality, but some of you asked for it... Non default settings will make portrait mode less stable for sure.

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Bugs:
Changes vs. V3:
-front cam HDR+ workaround for S7. Still to be tested in very bright conditions. Turn on "HDR+ front camera fix" if you have an S7.
-front cam: normal pics in auto HDR+ mode are saved now
-front cam: improved non-HDR+ quality
-added a custom auto-exposure mode for HDR+ (only HDR+, so not for portrait). It is called "Slow shutter" because it will decrease shutter speed as much as possible (1/10 secs on S7) in bad light. The result: much lower ISO and noise. Of course fast moving objects will probably get blurry more easily. Only tested this on S7, on other devices it might need some tuning.

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Changes vs. V4:
-added more shutter options. Selecting "Stock camera2 api" will get rid of rainbow effect, but dynamic range is poor, because camera can't underexpose fast enough if auto shutter control is on.
-added antibanding modes. Works up to 1/149 sec shutter speed. Only select 50hz or 60hz in case of banding problems, because it can cause suboptimal shutter speed otherwise!
-denoise strength for HDR+ and portrait. For front cam you need to select about 2-300% to really see the difference. Back cam is much more sensitive to this setting.
-HDR+ dynamic range control (called Underexposure multiplier). Reduce below 100% to decrease rainbow effect.
-added Samsung specific metering modes. To enable touch to expose, select "Controlled by GCam".
-added Samsung Live HDR mode. Adds some dynamic range to modes where HDR+ is not available like zero shutter Portrait mode. No Rainbow effect in HDR+ mode if this is selected, but noise is too much unfortunately!
-you can enable HDR+ for Portrait mode by disabling "Portrait ZSL mode". Better dynamic range, custom shutter control, but no zero shutter lag.
-custom white balance. I set greens to 96% to get rid of the greenish look where I sit right now, but it is a matter of taste probably.
-modified HDR+ quality settings. Choose "Very high" if you were using "Medium" before (unstable for me). The recommended "Default" setting is the same as before, it is somewhere between medium and high.

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Changes vs. V5:
-fixed bug which caused hdr+ shot failure sometimes!
-attempted to fix HDR+ portrait mode (can be activated by disabling portrait ZSL mode).
-added some description to "HDR+ parameters". For example: 8/10 burst, 1500 MB means: HDR+ operates with 8 shot bursts. Portrait mode (ZSL) operates with 10 shot bursts at most. Estimated total memory usage: 1500 MB (including camera2 api buffers).

Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
Changes vs. V7:
-made Pixel 2017 ZSL config work on our device. I had to disable reprocessing, and smart touch to focus. Also some experimental Pixel specific features like hybrid AE cannot work on our device, so don't expect Pixel like quality. Basically the only change versus Nexus 6 config is that if the HDR+ switch is set to the middle, you will have zero shutter lag HDR+ instead of auto HDR+. ZSL HDR+ is the same thing we already had before in portrait mode. So less dynamic range, and more noise in low light because slow shutter mode is not available. However it is much better in good/medium light if you make photos of unpredictable things like kids, because it processes images already taken in the background. In low light, or high contrast scenes please use Enhanced (nonZSL) HDR+! In "HDR+ parameters" setting I recommend using one of the Pixel 2017 options, because they should be more stable regarding memory leak. "High", "very high" and even "default" leak memory if pixel 2017 config is used.
-BSG mod settings moved to Advanced settings.
-you can now use portrait mode without zoom
-portrait mode pictures can be saved directly to DCIM/Camera. However: the built-in gallery can get confused by this, so I recommend using Google Photos instead (camera.use_photos must be enabled in dev settings). And even more importantly: before V8, the built-in gallery in GCam will delete all portrait pics from DCIM/Camera if you delete a single portrait pic from DCIM/Camera!!!! I patched this in V8, but if you were to go back to a previous version you can get into trouble easily!!!!
-you can modify some internal denoise settings. Unfortunately I couldn't find a combination which improves quality in all situations, but feel free to play around with them. Turn on the switches to apply changes.
-fixed a rare background battery consumption issue.
-camcorder fixes: front cam is working now, enabled optical stabilization, Samsung HDR can be turned on for video.

Here is some more shutter modes added. Slow shutter X2 goes to 1/5 secs. X4 and X8 go even slower but they are completely unstable, I get a camera error after a few shots.
Slow motion is fixed for S7 (I might have broke the app for other devices completely by doing this), turn off live hdr if in 240 fps mode or the lights will go off after a few secs
This is kind of a half finished release...

You can also use AR Stickers if you are on Oreo
Install AR Core first https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/releases/download/sdk-preview2/arcore-preview2.apk
Then AR Stickers https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z1KgNE5OhkLhbwy-XrGWCzJc2AcK0Ocz/view
Force close Gcam and re-open it!
Done!
Note that those bugs reports are referred to Galaxy S7 so they may not be valid for Galaxy S8.
Also keep in mind that every time there's an update you have to clean install the app or at least wipe data's app
Every time you change settings in the app you have to close it from recent panel(or maybe better directly force close) and reopen the app to apply new setting
Because many users have problems with this app i will share my working configs in the attachment working on Oreo CRAP/CRB7
for v7. If you want to try the Pixel 2017 ZSL in v8.2 the settings are shown below

(Photos captured with google camera in various light condition)
Seriously i went back to Nougat, best decision ever google cam now is pretty stable and fast. No more waiting to take next photo. lol and it's cooler too no more heat up like crazy and wasting battery life.
For first timer s8 user, Highly recommended S8 optimized version from @IDan1109
Otherwise check these out :
Because this version was made for S7 user, first thing u have to do is go to camera setting which is located at top left > developer setting > Disable "camera.enable_micro" immediately. Now you can freely try any setting with trial and errors. After tons of test i highly recommend advanced user, uninstall your 8.2 instead of replace 8.2 with 8.3b. reinstall your app and try new settings instead of stacking it together. Trust me clean install always better.
(for example test your Slow shutter result shutter time if it does not give 1/3s 1/4s each shot, your version of gcam is corrupted)
updated v8.3B
This is my latest config stable with v8.3B. Optimized after alot of experiments.
Now you can capture best lowlight picture and still give you finest detail possible.
First, pick HDR+ enhanced to force hdr to capture lowlight with less noise.
disable flashlight. (only use it if you forced to do, gcam will shot with huge yellow gained but can be edit it back to natural color in lightroom or pts)
*Enter setting > First page > "Slow Shutter x2" or X4 (kinda gimmick anyway but switch to faster shutter speed if u wanna take fast moving object),
Antibanding = Controlled by GCam (60hz give tons of noises),
75% underexposure multiplier NoneZSL HDR+,
100% denoise back and front, Metering Mode = Center (Gcam will allow u to touch to focus.)
Live HDR = Disable/enabled (higher contrast but a bit blurry in the dark area, so only enable it only if u have good light source.
(personaly i left this disabled)
Portrait ZSL mode = enable, Portrait Zoom = disable (turn on if u want closer look).
HDR+ White balance = no change.
Tuning Back cam = Taimen
Tuning Front cam = Bullhead
*Advanced menu > HDR+ = Fast Stable or faster, Config camera HDR+ = Nexus 6 HDr+ Auto (less noise),
turn on = auto HDR+ front camera, ...etc
Turn on (off all those fixes, with exynos in it if you're snapdragon S8)
The rest in this page can leave it there, or set it to your liking, not important.
* Developer settings >
Disable Camera.use_photos and cameraprogress_overlay
Disable "camera.enable_micro"
_______
wanna get rid of rainbow effect ? Turn on Live HDR Samsung (this will introduce noise but the rainbow gone)
Trick to take picture in daytime is use your finger to focus on the dark area (not darkest to avoid blowout the highlight, then wait for HDR+ to work the magic. (u can lower the highlight in LightRoom later on anyway but byebye rainbow)
For future update you should go check it here : the owner of this page rapidly update all the new versions which just came out and even translate it to english.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
For example this guy : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog107/
took v8.2 and modified it then add more shutter speed options, too bad from my test it's not optimized for s7/s8. alot of crash but once u get working setting it's not better in term of image quality + stablility VS v8.2 miniuser123

Still to enable hdr+ for front cam.
Known bug: when you exit settings for the first time, you get a black screen. Force close the app, and start again, it will be ok second time.

Google Camera with working portrait mode V8.2

Here is my version of Google Camera based on BSG's original port.
Although I aimed to get it working only on Galaxy S7 Exynos, there are reports that it is working on other devices like S7 Snapdragon, S8, Note 8 etc...
Working list on S7 Exynos:
-Portrait mode front/back cam
-HDR+ front/back cam
-photo sphere
-panorama
Bugs on S7 Exynos:
-after clean install or clear data when you launch the app for the first time, some settings might not be applied correctly. Please enter settings, then kill the app and start again and everything should be OK.
-if the app hangs during processing a HDR+ or portrait shot, memory leak (500-600 MB) could happen. If it is leaked by GCam, a force close in settings can eliminate it (a swipe away is not enough). However if it is leaked by cameraserver, cameraserver needs to be killed i.e. a reboot is needed for non-rooted users. Memory leak could be observed by looking at 'cat /d/ion/buffer' using adb or root shell. The Pixel 2017 config is more prone to memory leak.
-incorrect EXIF data if denoise is set higher than 100%.
-Pixel 2017 config: Shots with flash might cause a crash sometimes.
-Flash is out of sync without HDR+ turned on.
Working/not working for other galaxys:
Note 8: Rear camera touch to focus not working
S8,S8+ oreo: Pixel 2017 config not working, use Nexus 6 auto instead
Settings to be used:
V8: Clear Data, launch app, enter settings, force close app, relaunch app. You will have the settings I use currently.
Some comments to settings:
Main settings:
NonZSL HDR+ Auto exposure-mode: use "Slow shutter" if you are taking pics of static objects in low light environment. In good light it doesn't matter.
NonZSL HDR+ underexposuse multiplier: Gcam achives great dynamic range by taking underexposed pictures, then brightens them digitally in a very smart way to get a good looking results. However this method can cause the well known rainbow effect sometimes. You can mitigate this effect by lowering underexposure. Dynamic range will be worse of course.
Advanced
HDR+ front camera fix: on if you have a Galaxy S7 Exynos. If HDR+ works for you without this on front cam, don't turn this on, because it will degrade dynamic range in good light!!!!
Current version:
V8.2:

Your port have been super amazing. Im using s8 Plus and Note 8 Exynos and Ive completely ditch the stock camera (except for videos). Medium hdr parameter+pixel 2xl works best for me (anything higher has no signjficant improvement from medium) as it reduces noise and artifacts on lowlight so I'm kinda curious, will there be any way to improve the shutter speed at these settings?
More powers to you and you should be considered an international treasure for Exynos users!

Here is my version of Google Camera based on BSG's original port.
Although I aimed to get it working only on Galaxy S7 Exynos, there are reports that it is working on other devices like S7 Snapdragon, S8, Note 8 etc...
Working list on S7 Exynos:
-Portrait mode front/back cam
-HDR+ back cam
-photo sphere
-panorama
Bugs on S7 Exynos:
-front camera HDR+ very buggy, not recommended for now
-front camera normal shots are low quality
-exposure adjustment not working on touch to focus
-after clean install or clear data when you enter then exit settings the first time, the app hangs. Kill the app and start again to fix it.
-if the app hangs during processing a HDR+ or portrait shot, memory leak (500-600 MB) could happen. If it is leaked by GCam, a force close in settings can eliminate it (a swipe away is not enough). However if it is leaked by cameraserver, cameraserver needs to be killed i.e. a reboot is needed for non-rooted users. Memory leak could be observed by looking at 'cat /d/ion/buffer' using adb or root shell.
Working/not working for other galaxys:

Is there a fix coming for noisy portrait shots from FFC? In v2 the shots turned out great when there were no purple artifacts, but now, even though artifacts are gone, sharpness is too high.

Update: and is there anyway we can make face retouch working in front cam non portrait mode. Thanks!
Awesome work! And thanks for opening a new thread here ?
Wishlist:
-Front Camera image flipped/mirrored by default.
-Opening Camera directly in Portrait Mode.
First of all, thanks.
A question, if you can: On S7 (Note 8 Exynos here) touch focus won't work? I don't talk about exposure, I mean the focus. If I have an object in sight and want to focus it (macro style), if I touch on it then the focus will go far away. On the panorama/scene behind the object. And the object on the front line will be blurred. Only way to focus is to move the phone then center it on the object.
Again, thank you. Selfies are great with your port. Shame on Samsung. :/

Hello, what is the difference between model chosed? And also do hdr parameters really make a difference?

What phone are you using? Model wouild make certain options appear such as face retouching etc. Quality, I dont really see any big difference. Paramaters for me has significantly improve lowlight performance though there are also cons such as darker images in stiuations that subject is against the light. Medium parameter has given me less noisy images.

This wont be necessary, as there are people who take pictures just with the camera and rarely use portrait mode... Lets try to keep the app as default as possible. Peace

I am OK with this. But whole point of this app is to take portraits!
Peace.

Thanks for this amazing port! Always a good job version after version.
Just to ask, the portrait mode with flash on hangs after taking a photo. Is this a known bug?
My device is S7 edge exynos.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Do we have a working port for j7 pro devices?
Any eligible check for installing?
Hi @miniuser123,
I had Samsung A7 2016 with Exynos 7xxx inside. But I can not install the app. Is there any validation before installing? Can you remove that validation?

Doesn't medium like kill your phone's memory and make it super laggy? And when you mentioned Pixel 2 XL, you mean the HDR settings?
The update seems to have solved the purple tint when you are in overexposed areas. Majority seems to be working well now. Good job on the update. ???

So i use s7 edge exynos and use pixel 2 xl as model, so the parameters basically is different in quality in low light and not much difference in bright light right?
Can't wait for the next version. how amazing it is.

Can you zoom during video recording?

I'm gonna purchase this phone but need to know if you can zoom during video recording?
At basic 4K30 setting does it switch cameras/lenses when you use the zoom slider?
Short answer is: nope.
At 4K30, with the standard camera app, you can select one of three lenses: ultra wide (0.5x), standard (1x) or the zoom lens (5x). With each your then have the option to digitally zoom in during filming, with the ultra wide then ranging from 0.5 to 2x, with the standard going from 1x to 6x and with the zoom lens you start at 5x and can zoom in to 15x zoom max. A slider will be on screen to help you with that. It's all digital zoom, so don't expect picture quality to remain the same.

This is bummer... Is it down to Xiaomi or it's the first phone with multiple cameras that can't switch on the fly during video recording ?!
OK that person is wrong. I zoom while recording all the time... I usually either use 720p to minimize file size or 4k60 for max quality. Maybe he's using the wrong mode.
My personal experience is exactly what Appelsap described. No way for me to switch cameras on the fly while recording video.
What about other apps like FIlmic PRO - do you have access to the other cameras?
In Filmic Pro I could only find the switch from back to front. Is there another way to access the other cameras?
So you can zoom, but only digitally using the same lens. You can't switch lenses to zoom even more during filming. I tested the 4K30 as was asked, didn't try other formats (720p/HD/8K) but expect the same result even then. Main issue would be that switching lenses would be noticable in the resulting film. The lenses are in a slightly different position on the phone - they have to be next to each other rather than on top of each other , so whilst zooming in or out you'd see the camera shift suddenly to a slightly different position. I doubt other multi-lens phones can switch camera's during filming, you'd notice it then too - but do correct me when I'm wrong and tell me how the software then solves the suddenly shifted perspective (or not).
Every other multicamera phone (as far as I know) is using different cameras (lenses) while video recording. My most current phone is Find X2 Pro and it is using all of the cameras, however they are not enabled in Filmic Pro, in comparison OnePlus 8 PRO is enabled and all cameras can be used in Filmic Pro but this is different topic.
So basically this is first high end camera centric phone that is unusable in video recording, what a shame... I will cancel my purchase then.....
My Find X2 Pro is the best package overall but I'm missing the 2x telephoto camera as there is quite a gap between the 25mm main camera and 130mm 5x periscope one.

It's not only the perspective. Different cameras have different aperture, meaning different exposure. So if you pay attention, you will notice that - it gets darker when the phone switches to 5x camera. Don't know what cameras and aperture have the other phones but I'm extremely interested in an example video zooming from UW all the way to periscope and producing usable picture quality in 4k.
Just wanted to let you know that on latest EU weekly, the switches cameras on fly during video recording 1800p.
I also confirm that the video produced is not the best quality as expected - changing the camera changes the exposure and focus too.
For 4k it doesn't switch cameras.

Just tried it, and you are so right. At 1080p it does switch lenses during zooming (in/out), which is very noticable in the result, so why you'd want that is beyond me really. But it is possible. I'd like to see another phone do this without changes to exposure and focus, that seems very unlikely to me.

60 FPS in ultrawide

Ultrawide 60 fps video recording!!
So I've had this feature on P30 pro and always wondered why Samsung never had it...until I stumbled in the settings in Gcam....and it worked!!!
I basically had the Gcam version 7.3.018 , enabled ultrawide lens (it's telephoto option for some reason)
Chose 60 fps and it worked!!
I'm recording ultrawide in 60fps from Gcam....and the chip is more than capable, barely any dropped frames in artificial lighting.
Anyone know how to somehow enable this in stock cam?
How do I enable telephoto or wide angle mode for video on gcam? I'm using 7.4.104. The 5.2 beta. Not seeing any option

On 7.3.018 (not sure about other builds), you need to go into Options then look for Advanced. You'll see an option for Auxiliary Camera. That's where you can toggle the telephoto and wide angle lenses.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you enable Telephoto (it shows up as the 2x zoom button on the Video screen), you MUST select it BEFORE changing the FPS to 60, and you MUST change the FPS to anything LESS THAN 60 before moving back to anything less than 2x zoom. I have no idea why it 60FPS isn't supported by the default back camera, but it's apparently not (at least not in GCam.)
If you screw up and change to 1x or 1.5x while still in 60FPS, you WILL have to (at a minimum) reboot your phone to get any camera-related apps to work again. You possibly will have to clear your GCam cache, and possibly even your GCam data (I defaulted to just clearing the app data as a whole when doing my testing, and I know it works after a reboot if you clear the data, but it may be possible to just clear cache and reboot.)
Happy filming,

My way around it is simply leaving it at constant 60 FPS, and never entering the video mode. I just choose which len I wwant from the main camera, and then keep pressing the shutter button (which just goes into video recording mode). Not too convenient, but avoids the hassle of remembering the lens and getting the camera frozen.
