What are the "general recommended settings" for the manual camera settings for photos and videos? I have extremely limited knowledge of the technical terms of photography as I always leave my cameras on auto when taking pictures/videos.
My recommendation is to try Camera FV-5 and play with the settings, because the settings vary a lot. You can't use one setting for every shot.

Two questions:
1. Is there a way to get the camera lens to not auto focus constantly?
2. What is a decent alternative to the stock Google camera app? I'm mainly looking for the ability to pause video recording.

Thanks for the help ☺. I saw the manual exposure setting but had no clue what it does.

Unfortunately no (or not yet in 5.1) at least with the stock Google Camera.

You can try Cinema FV-5

This is incorrect. Manual exposure has noting to do with the camera refocusing all the time.

I apologize for the misinformation. I was under the assumption that this was a way to better control the focus and I have been part of other discussions where this was deemed a sort of workaround for the refocusing issue. I agree that it is not a 100% solution, but it does seem to help somewhat. The user clicks on the desired area of focus, via the viewfinder and the camera then focuses on that specific area.
I don't use the camera excessively so I'm not the expert advice provider here. I just wanted the OP to try this and see if it helped in his camera use. I should have been more specific. Thanks again.
Manual Camera is a good alternative camera app to use.
For whatever reason the flash does not work correctly with manual camera. I had to go back to google camera.
Hi,
I am curious to know if anyone has tried comparison between superior auto and manual 20.7MP
Superior auto takes 8MP photos only using 20.7MP sensor...so which is best way to get best quality resolution and maximum size of photos?
Please share your thoughts and ideas.

the number of MegaPixel is not that important for quality of pictures
the image saving process is more important about it
and Auto Mode suppose to set best setting for scenes But sometimes setting manually is better
i always prefer manual mode
:good:
in 20.7 mode the ISO 12800 will be gone... Don't forget this dude
Hi,
on my oneplus x i used the "Open Camera" app to make noticable better pictures.
Anyone found a camera app which makes better pictures especially better software video stabilization would be great.
Why does the P9 need it.
Camera is great except for stabilization in video.
No big deal

This - the camera app is amazing.
Sure the video isn't great, but it's worth checking that you have video stabilisation turned on. I had to go into the app and turn it on, it fixed a bunch of issues for me!
Since the phone utilizes dual camera setup, i doubt that there is 3rd party app that can make use of both sensors at the moment.
This what...? Can't see any useful information or links....
I've tried almost all and the native camera app is the best and the fastest. For video, indeed you need to turn on stabilization in the settings.
The only app that comes close for me is Snap Camera HDR. It's the only one that gives the same results in low light (auto low light mode on) and it actually gives you more control over HDR shots. The HDR shots are actually a bit better in this app. Only thing is the shutter is a bit slower, because it auto-focuses when you hit the shutter button.

Sorry do not found such setting where do i turn the video stabilization on can you share a screenshot, please?
ahh found it

I'm curious as to what your favorite app and settings you use for your 3T. I'm a OnePlus n00b and have been using the stock app along with Cameringo+ with good results but ideas are always welcomed. I'd do a poll but the options are endless.
Stock camera app and ProShot with noise reduction disabled. That's all you need.

Thanks but I don't see Pro Shot or Noise Reduction in the stock app. Where do I find those? I checked both Settings options.
Unless you mean Manual mode and leave everything else on Auto.
HDRa is Auto HDR, HQ is best for low light. In camera when you see video, camera etc click the cog and you can select RAW. You won't see these in your gallery but using lightroom or snapspeed (it's free) you can open a picture from gallery and it will pick up on the raw photo. These look awful to begin with as they are not processed at all and are 50mb+ but one you develop them yourself to your desired look you get some quality photos from them.

I thank you for your reply and I'm aware of the RAW format and Snapseed/Photoshop/etc. I'm more interested in the settings for most everyday use of the camera on the OnePlus 3T.
I've been having good results with CameraMX

I have been trying open camera from time to time. It allows you to enable the camera 2api and takes some great pictures. I find the flash on stock flawed at times as if the shutter speeds is off point to the flash and this overcomes that problem.
I'm not a big selfie fan or photo gay. But in my Samsung S6 I'm using stock camera application with few addons + Candy Selfie for taking selfies when I need.
Can anyone help me with the video settings.
In 1080p OIS does not seem to work at all
1080p / 60fps it does work
I cannot find any settings to alter this. Thanks.
Hello there, I do not like the stock camera app so I did some research on apps that could replace it. But I could not find a single app that supports long exposure(up to 10 seconds, all of them has 1/10 of a second), RAW support and manual ISO. Has anyone found any good camera app that has all these things?
A few options exist depending on your device situation.
Try CAMERA FV-5 or Open Camera.
If you have root and a Exynos, there is a mod in one of the sub-forums of Note 8, and an associated application, that allows you to change the exposure time.
I do wish Samsung gave us more camera control under the 'Pro' settings. This with a proper stabilization grip and quality mobile lenses would allow photography enthusiasts to shine.
