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.

The autofocus in the camera is annoying as hell. It keeps readjusting itself and when it reaches the point of sharpness it goes back to blurry. Now my question is - is there a way to make it hold the proper focus, or set it manually? Or is there an alternative camera app with these functions?

In recent weeks i've also searched a solution to the problem but nowadays i think's it's not possible, it's an Android limitation.

Just got my red N5 and ive noticed the same thing more or less. its like if i click the shutter button it will focus then unfocus at the last second before taking the picture. other times it just doesnt like to focus lol. id say that probably half of my photos come out burry. I know when the N5 first launched it had camera issuesbut i was under the impression that those were fixed for the most part.

Press and hold the shutter button should cause it to hold the focus. You can then release it to take a picture.
How to old a "proper" focus however, I have no idea.
You can tap to set your target focus. It will continue to auto adjust as it sees fit, however.
I've always had issues getting cell phone cameras to focus because of how easily they can shake but the OIS seems to help me get a good focus for 2/3 HDR+ pictures.
If you're using HDR+ it needs to stay still for a longer period of time.
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:
Today I was taking pictures with my S6 using the PRO mode and was fiddling with the AF option, when I noticed something interesting. When I drag the Focus slider from Infinity towards Macro, the camera ZOOMs IN while also adjusting the focus. The ZOOMED in image in the view finder looks absolutely lossless.
Here's the thing, it stays like that till the time my finger is on the slider. The moment I lift my finger it goes back to its normal state. The zoomed area in the viewfinder is comparable to the 4X Digital Zoom that our Phone usually does but with much HIGHER QUALITY! There's no way I can click without leaving the slider or take a screenshot, but I will try to record my screen and post the video if possible. I know this sounds rubbish. Any thoughts??
If you want take the picture with zoom, take it without zoom first. Then crop it.
It will way better than pre-zoomed picture.

I understood what you want to mean.
While you took the picture with zoom applied, phone applies extra processing to picture (idk why) and it causes to picture look worse than it should be.
While adjusting the AF on manuel mode, what you see is an non-proccessed pure image. That's why you see it "better".
So, if you want to take the picture w/ zoom applied with better quality, we need less proccess.
That's why I said that you should take picture without zoom, then crop it.

I see the quality of a zoomed image saved in RAW format is similar to that you get in Auto Mode if not worse, since there is no post-processing applied here. But the live preview I mentioned in my earlier post was much better than both. Also, do you get a pinkish tint in your images when shooting in Manual mode under extreme low light scenes? Thanks for your response.

There is always a proccess applied when you press the "shoot" button. Maybe even in RAW mode.
If I set shutter speed to too long, picture has pinkish tint as you said. My sensor is ISOCELL btw.
Hi I am not aware whether you all are facing this issue. Portrait mode on Miui 10 Pie automatically uses the Telephoto, or the secondary lens by default and there is no way to change this. As a result the viewfinder automatically zooms the photo 1.5 to 2x and it becomes literally a mess of a portrait photo. I am wondering why is no one raising this issue. The camera sucks now. Does anyone have a workaround??
So weird issue with my new p40 pro. It’s on version 10.1.0.114, and all HMS apps latest update.
However when i open the selfie camera to take a portrait mode pic, it doesn’t do any background blur - UNLESS I go to effects and click on one of the other effects, such as lights or hearts etc.
Anyone else having the same? Have tried a factory reset but still same issue. Wasn’t doing this on Software 10.1.0.109 i think.
wanted to help you but my software is still at 10.1.0.109
I was reading somewhere about portait from front camera is without bokeh. Bokeh is only on rear. I did myself selfie and i dont have bokeh too from front camera. But im not sure on 100%

I've seen lots of reviews that post front camera pictures with bokeh effect. The ToF sensor makes this possible. So: bokeh is not only for the rear camera. Try the portrait mode option on the front camera.

Youre right. Tested it and bokeh is visible but really low
https://www.dxomark.com/huawei-p40-front-camera-review/
Check here. They said bokeh is visible but really low in front camera
I don't think so. No difference at all between portrait mode or photo mode without the effect filter turned on for selfie. Looking at the reviews there is noticeable bokeh on further objects. I'm not seeing that unless I turn on circles in effects for example.

This also happens on my Mate 20 Pro. I always have to choose an effect, otherwise, the background isn't blurred.
question, does those effect have a special purpose cause i do not notice it, i only notice blurs
