Hi i'm interested in the next features of Note 4 S805 camera.
1. Does it have digital along with OIS?
2. If it does, will it work together with the OIS without any problems? any limitations?
3. Does the digital stabilization, also help in low light, like the OIS?
4. If they don't work in certain situations, would a mod (custom apk) make it possible? thanks.

Is there a way to modify / lower camera flash brightness (output) in ICS?
When taking photos in darker environment, flash 'burns' the photo i.e. colors are washed out and photo is overexposed. I also noticed when the flash is activated during focusing, its brightness is normal.
As far as I remember, this was not the case in GB based ROMs (in which I always used ported stock LG camera app).
I've yet to try out alternative camera apps (zoom fx, ucam...), but I'd like to stick to the stock LG software.
TIA
same problem here,but i used Jbcamera+ for taking pictures (it has great autofocus and the flash is ok) and camerazoomfx for video recording,(the stock one not focusing and the jbcamera+) because the stock camera is bit annoying for me
I havent used the lg stock camera but as you have said the photos are over exposed when using flash so isnt there an option to decrease the exposure? I use the 4.2 Camera and when taking night shots depending on how close the target I set exposure to -1/-2 and get decent low light shots, flash wise that is.
Well, there is exposure compensation on stock camera app, just haven't thought of that before. Will try tonight both camera JB from play store and LG's app with exp -1 and -2.
Thanks.

I thought camerazoom fx only took photos?
Yes, the exposure is way too high. Generally the photos are affected by the flash burns. The only solution i found was to decrease the exposure to -1 or -2.
OK, much better with exposure at -1 and -2 (depending on the surrounding light level).
I just wish LG camera app were a bit more 'intelligent' to figure exposure compensation on its own, but then again it would probably have to rely on some DSLR-like metering methods that would certainly double the size of camera/CCD (and the bulge where it sits) as well as its price...
If this were top priority to me, I'd probably be carrying a 'stupidphone' with an enormous camera at its back (nokia 808, anyone
I'm considering buying the Nokia 8 but would first prefer to know whether or not the phone allows third party camera apps like Camera FV-5 or Snap Camera HDR to tune sharpening and noise reduction, or altogether switch these off.
Any Nokia 8 owners who have tried this and can tell if this works or not?
You can use any camera app you like
Thanks. I am sure that is true.
My question is specific. If I install a camera app that allows tuning post processing (sharpening and noise reduction), will this work on the Nokia 8?
Not all phone makers expose these controls in the camera APIs.
For example, Samsung's Galaxy phones equipped with Exynos chips does not permit tuning post processing while their SnapDragon models do this.

I have both Camera FV-5 and Manual Camera so I could check if such options are there if you tell me where to look as I don't recall seeing something like that in their preferences (I had Nexus 6P previously).
Thanks. I'll check when I reach home in a few hours.

You can check in Camera FV-5. See my screenshots where to find sharpening. If you take a photo first before adjusting and then after with sharpening set to minimum: will you see difference in quality, when zooming in to 100% ?

Well, it is by default set to 0 here (all sliders in this window are) so I would have to manually change it to higher value in order to do any comparison.
Okay, thanks. So probably doesn't work then. I guess I need to consider other phones. ?
On my current phone (Asus PFS) it's set to almost zero but adjusting it has no effect on picture quality.
Ok, when I tried to move that slider it turned out it is impossible. So that fully answers your question
Just find an app that takes RAW images and use that. Then adjust said parameters to your heart’s content
I'd rather buy another phone that supports this.
If you have Camera2 API enabled in your phone, try Snap Camera - you can tune everything here. Just enable Camera2 API in the settings, then the noise is preserved. Adjustable sharpness, saturation etc... The only option missing here for me is long exposure mode. On my Redmi 4X it allows only 1" shutter time max (still I can get nice night pictures on ISO 250 with this interval).
Also, you can try FreeDCam and disable Wavelet Denoise in the settings to turn off noise reduction.
Finally, Google Camera port is really great camera app for daily usage, especially for HDR pictures - it uses Camera2 API by default and produces amazing shots with all details (subtle noise) preserved. Unfortunately, you can't adjust any of parameters like sharpness or saturation.
All those apps are tested on my Xiaomi Redmi 4x but it will hopefully work for you if your phone supports Camera2 API.
So you tested on a Xiaomi Redmi 4x but haven't tested on a Nokia 8?
Those features are very much dependant on whether or not the phone supports them. And no way of knowing without buying the phone and testing and then finding out the good or bad news.
So far the hints from previous posters above is that the Nokia 8 does NOT support full control over post processing.
Hi all,
I've seen what the E5 Plus can do:
12MP, f/2.0 aperture, 1.25um big pixels, LED flash, PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus), Laser Autofocus, HDR, Panorama, Manual Mode, Burst Shot, Best Shot, QR code/Barcode Scanner, Slo-motion mode, Video Stabilization, 1080p video at 30fps
Seems like our Redmi 4X is capable of the above too. Can we get them?
try this https://windroidwiz.wordpress.com/2017/08/23/download-moto-z2-play-camera-port-for-all-phones/
i have installed this app on my Redmi 4X MIUI 10 Global beta 8.8.16 but since i haven't enabled the camera api due to Mi camera stops working. pro mode were missing, slow motion was not working, has 4k 30fps, has panorama mode, qr code also missing but again this features might will get working if camera2api. i am not sure if moto camera app requires camera2api to avail this functions. this port is from 2017.

How can you be so Dumb. How can you even expect to get these features. Those are hardware features and not software feature which you will get by installing a camera app you fool.

There's a possibility though. Chipset is the same, camera specs looks the same on paper. It's good to explore the possibility than getting a new phone. Why not do something useful for everyone than words like those?
Since my note 9 camera is buzzing/vibrating on 2 x zoom on the stock camera app,can anyone suggest another camera app which will produce crisp pictures and videos.The app should use full potential of the note 9 camera module,except for the the buzzy camera.
Thanks in advance.
Any camera app other than the stock camera will produce clearer pictures while zoomed in, simply because the telephoto camera (which is the culprit) is only available in the stock camera app. Digital zoom and the main lens is used instead; The best and in the end the most convenient solution is to simply replace the camera module.
Is there anyway to use the full 20mp in front facing camera.. All gcam takes default 5mp by pixel binding.. also flash didn't work like stock... It acts like a torch while capturing photo

i am using miui 12 pie and both stock and gcam are working at the same time .....
both have their advantages....
1. gcam uses pixel binning ( combining ) them
_so your camera is not really using 5mpx ..it is using max pixels merged into a 5mpx output_
_this might give you a good or better looking photo than some 20mpx sensors on some phones
_people use gcam because of Google's theoretical excellence in processing photos *** therefore better photos than stock ... because if you feel.stock has better photos than there is no argument for using gcam
2. gcam mods which allow you to choose to manually force the gcam to use the secondary ( aux ) exist ...you can use it in combo with magisk modules
_dont expect a giant leap in photo quality since our aux sensor is for low light ...and was never meant not even by Xiaomi to act as the main shooter
_stock camera changing between sensors automatically while in gcam.you will. have to.do.it manually _
_VERY IMPORTANTLy ...our aux sensor is NOT api2 compliant only our main sensor ...as per Xiaomi ...so Xiaomi needs to fix that if it can be fixed....that is why our phone isn't released with api2 enabled..
Options:
1. Use magisk module in stock rom to get stock camera
2. Use stock rom to use miui 12 pie to get both stock and gcam working at the same time
3. Use gcam with aux sensor select button in settings to activate it manually in custom rom
4. buy a jasmine or wayne device and donate it to gcam.modder or dev stating your wish that he/she fixes it so it runs how you feel.it should run
I'm pretty certain this info is old and if you looked you'd find all the magisk modules and gcams and mods and info floating around ...
go check out the official gcam mods page for devs working on cams for our device and try them.all to find the one you like best and maybe give them.a small donation
try out the stock cam magisk module to see if it works correctly on custom rom
failing that just your miui with magisk to have it all.
Stock makes great depth of field photos imho
Gcam takes richer photos in general like but if you aren't careful you might run in oversaturation ..more options
_you can enable arcore and ar stickers by magisk mod and using patched playground from gcam mods page
This doesn't seem to be a GCam issue... All camera apps just see 5MP for the front and secondary back camera. It's probably an internal issue with Camera2Api?
