Still trying to unlock full raw at 8192x6144 on rear cam, can get it exposed with exposeFullSizeForQCFA=TRUE on camxoverridesettingsofultra.txt but won't sync.
This opencamera can show the full resolution, but I believe the isp downscales the photo or masteroptimalrawsize is overriding the full resolution..

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"

Hi
My device have 13MP rear camera, but in google camera app it shows (16:9 10MP) camera resolution only
How to manually change that resolution to 16:9 13MP?
is there any build.prop editing needed? or some system configuration modification to make appear that 16:9 13MP resolution?
Thank you
Everything I am going to mention in this post is based on HAL3 and EIS enabled P2 on Oreo roms with the two patches from Astridxx and Highwaystar enabled.
Firstly, some of the Camera apps with manual control:
1. AZ camera
2. One plus camera
3. Footej camera
4. Freedcam
5. Manual camera
6. Open camera
7. Proshot
8. Snap camera
9. HedgeCam 2.2
10. Moment pro cam
11. DSLR camera
12. Camera FV5
13, Bacon camera
and more...
Camera apps with built-in stabilization (or otherwise build prop edit)
1. Paranoid camera (built-in stabilization - works great)
2. AZ camera
3. Footej camera
4. Snap camera
5. Freedcam
6. Update- Quality camera. Link in post 2.
Now regarding my topic:
Everyone knows that by adding a line in build prop enables video stabilization on supported ROMs and camera modules. persist.camera.eis.enable=1 (don't use EIS capital )
But in P2 most camera apps video preview will give you a green screen, yet snapit, motocam, etc, will work but we will get choppy videos with only a bit of stabilization.
NOTE: Gcam ports / Footej camera and almost all other camera apps's 1080p, 720p, 480... video recording will not work after enabling EIS. Only 4 K video works (not much stabilization).
In my research I found out that these camera apps's video preview size is the reason for the green screen.
Solution: Changing the camera "video preview size" to 960p (1280x960).
In the above-mentioned camera apps only Snapcamera has the option to change video preview size. So you can use snapcamera to record stabilized videos till 1440x1080 resolution.
After enabling eis in build.prop you will see an additional tab in snapcamera settings video tab called as "stabilization" (I feel it is auto enabled even if you select it or not).
Selected video resolutions as - 1440x1080, 1280x960, 640x480 , 320x240 - works in Freedcam / Snap camera / AZ camera / Open camera. You can record nice stabilized videos.
Recommended: Freedcam, Snap camera, AZ camera.
Note: Only those camera apps which have the above-mentioned video resolutions will work.
Miscellaneous info:
1. For dark video issue with your current cam app, you can use HTC camera app, the videos are bright enough.
2. May or may not work- for better camera picture quality
Open media_profiles.xml found in system-etc folder
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageDecoding memCap="80000000" />
Thank you for reading and please hit the thanks button if I helped.
Another camera app with built-in video stabilization (EIS should be enabled in build prop).
App Name: Quality camera.
Info: No manual controls but I personally feel the picture and video quality is amazing with much reduced noise. Recorded videos are stabilized and are not that dark.
NOTE:
1. You need to disable navigation bar or use expanded desktop from your settings (put the tab in pull down menu) to select camera settings and selecting picture and video modes.
2. You need to select in camera settings photo tab (second tab), change preview size to 1.2M pixels (1280 x 960) or 1.5M pixels (1440 x 1080) otherwise, enabling EIS will give you green screen error.
3. Force close app and restart again.
You will be able to record stabilized videos at 480p, 720p, 960p, 1440 x 1080 (4:3 aspect ratio).
1080p video recording does not work (green screen).

Thank you and bye-bye P2. I moved on to Realme 5 Pro.
As the title mentions is it possible to edit the camera lib or something so that the 2nd back camera takes only B/W pics making it like a pseudo monochrome lens to take better detailed pics.
A b&w filter won't improve the photo quality. You'd need to physically remove the color part of the lense. Even then, both rear cameras have different megapixels and merging their photos would make it blurry if not lower res and it's not worth it at all.
Why not just use an app???
Hi all, you might know this already but I just found out and it seems like absolutely great news for this phone. The latest Open Camera update allows you to record video using every camera on the phone. Even the monochrome one works. No need to have perfect lighting conditions in order for the camera to switch between main and telephoto. You now have a dedicated camera button which lets you select what lens to use. Did you get the chance to try it out? I didn't have any issues yet.

Is the recording quality improved?
I'm not sure. You do have to option to record with maximum 80Mbps but I I find it hard to tell if that is any different from the 30Mbps standard rate. Video looks crisp and clear, colors are very good, especially if you lock the white balance.
Quality seems not as good.. Also can not use Camera API 2, for high res to get extra control in manual mode.
I'm not sure why you can't use camera2 api. For me it works and I can select iso and exposure during filming. I have a CLT L29.

whats your max resolution for recording video using Camera2 API?
For the 40mp lens and the telephoto lens, I have 3840x2160. The monochrome camera however has a resolution of 3264x1840 for video.
Sorry for necropost, but anyone tried open camera for B&W photos? Does it allow exposure bracketing? Raw or at least png for file saving? I would like to try p20 pro just for that monochrome lens...
You can save RAW with the B&W camera but for some reason the pictures appear purple.
