how to - speed up your camera. (in some enviroments)

Well, i found that having -2.0 thru -1.0 EV actually speeds up the camera quite a bit. now it depends what type of lighting your in, but atleast now some interior enviroments are faster!
o and also put the white balance on the moon or the light, the picture usually looks best then.
you might notice in the picture i have it set at the smallest resolution, that has nothing to do with this, it was just an accident it was set to that.

sorry, what do you mean -2.0 thru -1.0 EV? I would like to try it

I'm guess the megapixels.

EV stands for "exposure value", also known as "stops". The Kaiser, as well as most point and shoot digi-cams, goes from -3.0 to +3.0 in half step stops.

ooo snap.. nice.. It kind of works but ya depends on lighting ..:-(
Thanks !

Sorry, just went through the entire menu system on the camera and couldn't find anything resembling "stops" or "ev". Anybody know where to find it?
I have a Tilt.

When you open the camera app, at the bottom of the screen (on the left if you hold the phone upright) there will be a little "handle" that you can click on. It's dark grey in color. Click on that and you can adjust the EV value there.

Works great for me. thanks man

When you decrease Ev, shutter speed (Tv) automatically increases. At the cost of getting more speed, your picture will be darker. No problem, just use your favorite editor (photoshop) to increase the exposure again (using +Ev, Levels, or Curves). However, doing this will make your image noisier (more grains) and losing quality.
Vice versa, increasing Ev will decrease shutter speed. It's cool that cell phone cameras are beginning to offer adjustment settings. Most advanced camera will let you control EV, Av, and Tv and lots of other things independently, but only advanced users will touch those settings.

updated the first post, showing what EV is, for those who weren't sure.

Also If you go to Camera settings which is South east (corner right bottom) and then select the second page, select the Adjustments and in there you have another option which is to Sharpen more the image.
This also helps a lot.
I'm still trying to understand the Resolution mixing it with the lightning balances to have a nice fast snap shots indoors and outdoors.
Any help will be appreciated.

I can confirm that this does help a lot on my phone. I tested it at the UNLV vs. Arizona game last night. The pictures came out suprisingly well. Granted, it is a well lit indoor area. But I didn't see as much screen lag as usual.

My Quark keeps it's settings just fine, as does my wife's. What you are talking about it seems is it's not keeping your 4:3 or 16:9 settings. That is what determines whether it's higher megapixels or lower, for both the front and rear cameras.
Let's just talk about the rear camera for now, since the issue is identical.
16:9 will be 15.5MP. Only 4:3 (which is NOT widescreen) will give you the "21MP" setting for the rear camera.

Are you perhaps changing that ratio yourself and not realizing that are also changes 21MP back to 15.5MP?
Forget megapixels for a minute. Do you WANT 4:3 (standard) pictures or 16:9 (widescreen)? Nowadays, widescreen is generally preferred.
I SUSPECT you are changing to 21MP -- then you see the picture ratio is set for 4:3 and so you then change THAT to 16:9 -- not realizing YOU are now actually changing the 21MP back to 15.5MP... The settings are directly related, and I think you are changing them, not realizing that.
In the Moto G4 camera APK I am using on my Quark, that setting is "combined" so it's obvious it's related.
In the Quark native camera settings (screenshot below), I'm not sure it's explicitly stated. It is stated in the user manual and on the Motorola/Verizon support page (from which I took the screenshot at top).

Best Camera Features of the Honor Play

Best Camera Features of the Honor Play​
The Honor Play's camera is way better than other shooters in the same price range. Try these features to get the most out of your Honor Play camera.
1. Aperture Mode
The trick to creating a great wide aperture effect is having a phone with a great camera and software that can accurately differentiate background object from foreground objects. The AI NPU chipset makes all the difference in this area. The phone's ability to identify different objects and and use the dual-cameras to recognize depth, means the Honor Play can create extremely effective aperture mode effects. Get creative with this mode and see what kind of shots your can get.

}
2. Portrait
Portrait mode is done extremely well on this phone. If it's your first time using portrait mode, know that it's basically your phone detecting the outline of your head/body and blurring the background. The quality of this popular effect comes down to your phone being able to accurately trace your face and remove it from the backdrop.
The Honor Play's large 16MP selfie camera lets you take really detailed selfies that look amazing. Try out the portrait mode with your selfie camera and you're going to be really impressed with the results.
3. AI Mode
AI mode was the main feature advertised in this phone. Toggle it on and try it out. It can really bring out the color in some of your shots. If you don't like the way the effect looks, you can toggle it off afterwards in your galley. I have this feature toggled on at all times, since there's really no reason not to. Your original image is always preserved without the AI, so you can get rid of it later on.
4. Video Format (H.265) (H.264)
You can choose the format in which your videos are encoded. You have the option of H.265 or H.264. The H.265 option will give you a more compressed video resulting in a smaller file size. The H.264 option is a less compressed format and will have slightly higher quality video.
Go to Video > Settings > Video Size > Format. to access this option.
5. Edit Your Camera Menu
With all the different camera modes built into the default camera app, it's nice to be able to customize which modes your have quick access to.
From your camera app, go to More > Edit then you can rearrange all of your different camera modes.

Something about Auto White Balance (AWB) of camera

When you read a review post on the web or watch a review video on YouTube of a certain smartphone, the reviewer will probably spend time commenting the white balance performance of the camera. But what is white balance exactly and why we need it on our smartphone camera?
White Balance
The color of the object looks different from their intrinsic color in different light environment, and white color changes the most significantly. For example, a piece of white paper looks a bit yellow under the light from a filament lamp, and looks a bit blue under the blue sky. Our powerful eyes can correct the color cast caused by different light environment, so we seldom notice the changes and feel good. Hence we can say that our eyes have the ability of Auto White Balance. Cameras need such feature as well, otherwise the pictures can look quite awful.

Adjust white balance on smartphones
When we take a phone, the smartphone camera automatically performs white balance, which we call it Auto White Balance (AWB). Most of the time, AWB works perfectly and the color of the picture looks accurately. But occasionally, it does not meet our demand precisely or we have a different from normal demand. Then we need to adjust the white balance manually in the camera APP. Below picture taken with different white balance setting show us that we can take very different photos by adjusting the parameter of white balance.
It is easy to have above different white balance setting done on our smartphone. For example, on our smartphone, open the camera APP, choose to use the Pro mode. And we can see the “AWB” logo as shown in below screenshot.

Create beautiful panormas?

So, I have the Mi9TPro with LineageOS and the ANX Camera.
I tried to make some panorama shots, but despite me holding the phone very stable and having good light conditions, the panormas still end up pretty choppy.
Are there any settings I can fine tune or different apps I can use?
The phone has a good camera, so I am sure it must be possible to make some decent panoramas too?

This is panorama shot from factory ROM and factory camera app:

My panorama shots dont even looks closely as good as this one. They are all choppy and distorted on the parts where the frames are connected.
I am using AnxCamera 158.

Can I ask, why did you install custom ROM? Is it much better then factory? I'm using factory ROM with NOVA Launcher.

I have done a few panorama pictures with the standard photo app and some Photo Sphere using a recent gcam by Urnyx05. The phone is running the latest xiaomi.eu beta. I always use a tripod for panoramas (and for night shots).
I am uploading them there https://yadi.sk/d/nZsnB5lPtvsMkw
Some are acceptable (as long as you like the distorted tripod on them), some not (where there are power lines that are cut in the sky). I guess that the sensor was not aligned with the vertical tripod axis.
Try to watch the photo sphere pictures on your phone. It follows the rotation of your phone.
