Camera Settings

So since the update the stock camera (for me at least) has been much better. I used to use Camera Zoom FX but i deleted it and use the stock since it's easier to switch between camcorder/still shots and i can actually mute the shutter sound.
But as I was playing with it I randomly noticed that you have to use 6MP to get a full screen shot, vs. with 8MP it's kind of centered in the screen. I also noticed in another thread someone mentioned using the 'ok' button on the keyboard could help force the camera to focus vs. waiting for its slow zoom in/out routine. This kind of sparked my interest to what settings does everyone use to get the best pics? Do you still use 3rd Party Apps? Any tips/tricks you use? It's my main camera since i don't own a separate digital camera so any input is welcome

....you can zoom in and out with the volume control buttons.

hmm nobody?

camera not zoom ????

Hello, tried to zoom in using the camera today but no luck. I assumed the volume buttons would do it but all they did was change the ringer volume.. Nothing in the settings,

Use Camera Zoom FX app. But I think photos will be low quality with zoon

What is purpose of digital zoom? Non. It is just like you zoom photo in Photoshop or any other image editor or viewer...

Any way to turn off Optical Image Stabilization?

Video recording (which can be ruined if you don't turn off CAF) can also be ruined by OIS - especially if you are panning left or right, you get a kind of choppy effect which looks awful.
Is there anyway of turning of the OIS?
I have been doing some reading and it seems the unit can be run in Manual as will as Auto mode for test purposes.
Seeing the fix for the front camera being rotated (after Hal3 setting) using an xml file,
I wondered if there was a similar setting in an xml file that could be flashed to set OIS to manual?
I await your learned answers.

If you are using snap camera, there is an option to disable stabilisation in the video recording settings menu. See the attached screenshot

Ok Will try
thanks.
Some of these camera apps have their own software stabilisation which you'd be turning off but I'll give it a go.
Sadly setting does not seem to be present in the version I downloaded

Xiaomi Mi 9 camera zoom lag and delay

So recently I noticed that zoom in and out is actually delayed about half a second.
Anyone experiencing same issue ?
What are the fixes for this?
It's really frustrating
Thank you for all of your responds

When you say that the zoom is lagging, are you talking about switching from the 1x camera to the 2x one?

Exactly, pinch zooming is delaying for a half second

You don't pinch to switch between the 1X and 2X cameras, you point to the 1X/2X icon in the lower middle. No need to pinch before you take a photo, this will only mask the outer areas. It's better to crop the image afterwards, this will achieve the same thing and is easier to do with the picture already taken.
In short, pinching in the viewfinder will not zoom, it will crop the picture.

I think there was a misunderstanding. By pinch to zoom I mean that for example I am taking a video with front camera and let's say I zoom to my nose. So zoom process takes about 0.5 second to react to my pinch to zoom gestion. Hope that will help.

Question Samsung camera mod

I found that using screen recording while using samsung camera app in photo mode makes the field of view wider compared to video. And dynamic range is better also.(forget 4k). But good for social media sharing.. but the only problem is the zoom toggle in the way. Is there any way to remove that toggles.. maybe a modded apk or something???...

I think it's because when the camera is in photo mode, the app uses the whole sensor. This means that it is recording with a resolution of 3000x4000 pixels (3:4 aspect ratio). But when you record 4K, the camera app uses only a portion of the sensor equal to 2160x3840 pixels (16:9 ratio). That is the reason you see a wider view in the photo mode and not in the video mode. The only solution right now, might be to use OpenCamera to record video but you have to select the 3:4 ratio in the video settings. If you do that though, OpenCamera will only film with a resolution of 1440x1080 so the video will not be that sharp. I admit, I would love to see a mod or a toggle from Samsung that lets you record in 3:4 though.

Thanks. But what about the hdr.. i mean i have tested it and the hdr performance with ultrawide camera in screen recording is great compared to normal video capture. Even in low light the screen recording looks way too wider and brighter and had great dynamic range. (I have also tested shoooting in 1:1 in video). Kindly test it out and see it yourself. But don't pixel peep it's obviously less crisp than 4k. But great for social media.

I see what you mean. Video from screen recorder is a bit different from video mode. However I do not know why this happens. I suspect that maybe screen recorder is not able to capture the whole color gamut of the HDR preview.
