The settings I had to change to get it to work was turning on auto white balance (pics were green without it turned on), then I went to the advanced->ancillary camera settings to turn on the ID2 and ID4 cameras so the buttons would show on screen. Renamed ID2 to wide lens, and ID4 to Macro lens. I don't know if I used correct terms for names, the ID2 is the 0.5 camera and the ID4 is the flower icon camera from original camera. ID1, ID,3, ID5 options seems to crash app so I couldn't figure out which one goes to the physical 4th camera on back, so no clue how to access that particular camera plus I don't know what it's for.
Video and everything else appears to work without crashing. It does crash as I play with setting to get it to work better.
Not sure how many people are using the phone still being 2 years old, and didn't see post in the apps section unless I missed it. So here's something in case someone happens to still be using the phone like I am.

I think I maybe have a bad (hardware) rear camera, but wanted to know if anyone else has run into the below:
Tried to use bar code scanner and Google shopper scanner in not very bright room last night. Screen was almost black in both cases.
I then tried the Camera - rather dark when viewing the full room. Ditto with Camera 360 - which I also had on my MT4G. Checked settings (which should no affect the scanner apps) and nothing would improve it. Note - I was on eagles 1.0.3, so this was not the original camera app.
Tried the front facing camera - huge difference - light gain produced normal pictures.
I restored a near stock froyo backup, and the original camera was better (plus you can adjust light gain), but other three apps pretty much the same - dark.
I tried MT4G with same scanner apps - all worked fine in the same room.
Again - I am now starting to think it is the hardware. Will go into local TMo store (where I have handled demo's) and check it side-by-side.
Has anyone else run into this??
Hello.
I hope u can help me, even if its not connected with xdadevelopers.
When im recording video (with stock app or most of camera apps), its covered with some annoying and ugly pattern by dots (sometimes are blank, just outline or its purplish). When im taking photo, these dots arent visible, but when im using "a Better Camera"app, dots are visible in photo mode and not visible in video mode. I think its not HW problem because, they should be visible in every mode. My glass on camera is clean. When zooming, dots are bigger. Here is video taken via stock camera app.
BTW using newest MIUI 9, even before it had same issue.

I was messing around with the camera when I noticed something weird. When in the official camera app (tested in both implemented version and new 3.8.1), I can tap in the "three trees icon" (panoramic) and covering the top lense I see that's the one the phone is using. Now on to the 1x icon, the phone changes to the mid lense, but when tapping the big tree icon (telephoto), looks like my phone keeps using the same central lense, so the one in the bottom is never triggered.
Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Telephone is only used when there is a lot of light ( i personally tested it a lot). If you want to forcefully use the telephone camera use gcam mod with 'gcam for oos' module to enable auxiliary camera support.
in video mode telephoto is actually never used. that i did notice.

Indeed, I think they will allow for it in future updates.

Maybe that's the reason, after further fiddling I've found there's some kind of jumping between both lenses, it's not just that it doesn't toggle at all. So maybe the light is the reason for that. Thank you for your reply!
i thought i read somewhere about waving at the camera and it then taking a picture. i have tried the back lens and selfie lens and its not working for me.
i have looked in the camera settings and found nothing.
is it working for anyone?
tnx
here's a link to the info, does anyone have this feature?
i do not. no settings option while in front camera mode.
Xperia 5 II XQ-AS52/XQ-AS62/XQ-AS72 | Help Guide | Activating the selfie timer with the palm of your hand
I have and it works just fine.
yeah i was choosing the wrong option. selecting selfie icon does not give me the settings to turn on. if i choose front camera i can set the settings.
I mount the phone in a phone skope digiscoping adapter, then fit the adapter on the scope eyepiece. The magnified image begins to appear on the phone but then the phone switches to a different lens. The image on the phone is now a blur of color because the functional lens is aligned with the opaque part of the phone adapter.
Can the lens-switching feature be turned off so I can use only one lens in aiming and focusing the image?
Thanks
Doug
If i remember correctly, the "Expert RAW" application lets you choose the lens to work with and does not change to another lens.
Look for it in the Galaxy Store.
There might be other photo apps that also support "locking" the camera, but i'm not aware of (did not need this until now).
Pro mode in the regular camera app lets you pick lens/sensor and it sticks to it. Standard photo mode keeps switching but it sticks to the 108mp ("1x") sensor if you enable "3:4 108mp" mode.
Thank you
camera assistant app has the option to disable auto lens switching too.
