Optical Image Stablization - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is Optical Image Stablization based on chipset or other hardware needed to implement it ( like gyroscope )
And if its chipset based , does mi3 has it since snapdragon 800 supports it

I believe its a part of camera assembly. If the hardware is not there, it won't support OIS.

OP3 featuring Sony IMX298 camera hardware?

So, apparently the camera will be Sony IMX298
With a good OIS and IR focus this could be as good as Mi5 or Lg G4 camera

excuse me?
That spec list is completely fake. It is certain that it will use Omnivision sensor for front camera and probably for the rear one. Probably it will use the latest and greatest OV16860 from OV wich has very large pixel, anti color crosstalk and good resolution/noise ratio
Whatever, no OIS no party, no IR no party

If it's using the OV16860 then we get [email protected] video.
The Moto G Plus has an OV16860 with f2.0 lens and does well enough. I'm expecting more from the 3.
Guess what?
not bad

Changing Mi3 camera with Mi4 camera

Hi. I read that Mi4 camera has the ability to set the exposure to 32s and that's really important for me because of night photography. I am able to go only up to 2s with Mi3. So I was wondering is it possible to change the camera on my Mi3 with Mi4 camera? I know hardware of Mi3 and Mi4 is very similar and roms for Mi4 work on Mi3 too, so do you think that could be possible?

Not possible, the camera module in both phones are different. The long exposure of 32s is only supported by Mi4 camera module

Well yes, I was talking of replacing camera module, not the camera app. Because Mi4 roms work on Mi3 and reverse, I think it wouldn't be a hardware or software problem and it should work. Or am I wrong?

Need 240fps slow-mo video shooting camera for Xiaomi Mi 5

Hi everyone,
All of us know that Xiaomi Mi5 came with powerful Snapdragon 820 chipset. Also Mi5 equipped with 16mp camera with Sony IMX 298 sensor. But its a great matter of sorrow that Mi5 can't shoot 240fps slow motion video in 720p even [email protected] though it has one of the most powerful hardware combination in the market!
Snapdragon 820 does support [email protected] slow-mo shooting but Mi5 doesn't. Mi5 can only record upto 120fps in 720p resolution. On the other hand 'ZTE Axon 7' also came with Snapdragon 820 and ZTE took full advantage of it. Axon 7 can record "[email protected]","[email protected]/60fps",[email protected] even "[email protected]". But poor Mi5 can record "[email protected]", "[email protected]" & "[email protected]".
Isn't it Xiaomi's poor software optimization? They are giving 2/3 years old video shooting mode on a top notch device which has a great hardware of 2017. Even nowadays a phone with poor chipset can record 1080p videos @30fps. Isn't it a great shame for Xiaomi & all Mi5 users comparing other Snapdragon 820 phones from OnePlus, Samsung, Google Pixel, ZTE etc? Sadly me also in the list.
SO I AM REQUESTING A 240FPS VIDEO SHOOTING CAMERA FOR MI5 LIKE 'CAMERA X' OF NEXUS 5X.
Is it possible to port/modify ZTE Axon 7's camera/kernel for Mi5? Or Google Pixel's camera/kernel? Or building a new one according to them for Mi5?
Remember that Snapdragon 820 does support those shooting modes by default. Just need a modified/ported camera app or kernel for Xiaomi Mi5.

Think it's a lot more complicated than that. The new Sony Xpera XZs can record up to 720p @ 960fps with a SD820 as it has a large cache size on the camera sensor itself.
I think it has to do around having a proper camera HAL capable of such recordings combined with a proper camera framework that is fast enough to store and process the captured frames.
Without proper source code it would be impossible. We barely just got working video mode in AOSP ROMs for instance. If the feature is added upstream in some other Xiaomi device (say, the Mi Mix 2) it would be easy to backport it to the Mi5.

Moto G5s Plus correct camera sensor and chipset

Hello everyone!
Creating this thread in order to clarify some details about our device.
I recently bought it (Europe version-xt1085,3Gb RAM/32gb) but instead of a SD625 it has a SD626. How is it possible? And giving the fact that there are rumors that also note that our camera sensor is a Sony IMX 258 Bayer and not a samsung CMOS makes me doubt much of the initial information provided or found. Can somebody please post different screenshots from the first page of CPU-Z and also to check system/etc/camera for camera msm Sanders XML for those who have the device rooted? I do not want to root it yet as Oreo updates are rolling in a couple of days.
I also want to find a solution to exceed the limitations of the software processing of the camera to the full potential of the sensor (if it is a Sony one indeed).
Thank you
Also take a look at the attachment.
Ok
SD 626 too
Mine also says Snapdragon 626, it's a CPU-Z bug. But regarding the camera sensor I have no idea if there's any way to improve the image quality via modifying the image processing.

Do you have a XT1085 or XT1084?
And could you please pull out the files i requested?
The ones in the camera foldee that write Msm sanders or so. The ones who show the real camera sensor.

I checked with different applications. You might be right. It is very odd tho.
What about the camera files?
If you go to Moto G5 Plus's theming and modding forum, you'll see a thread explaining how. And how it gives rise to possibilities of other devices as well.

Mine is an XT1806, and it's not rooted so I don't think I can get those files. Let me see

I just checked the file. It shows S5K8L3 which unfortunately is a ****ty Samsung CMOS sensor. I don't think there is much to be done with this sensor. We're ****ed.

Wow that is so nice! And nostalgic. Its been a few years of my absence. I am back with this device now and it is intriguing me a lot to develop again. Currently waiting for the Oreo update and then I'll do my full research on the device.

Are you sure thats not the selfie cam? Pretty sure the dual camera has been 100% confirmed a sony sensor already
(Link) This guy contacted moto directly and they said it was the IMX258 / IMX258 Mono

You can see clearly the name S5K3L8 as the rear sensor (mono&rgb). And at the other screenshot, the name S5K4H8 which is a selfie samsung sensor. You can google both of these sensors and their details are going to match our device's details.
There are also two files of the IMX258 in the camera folder but they're useless or maybe they put it to fake the users who, like me and many more, would be pissed off if they found out what a crap of a sensor they would have in their device.
The dev of the camera improvements of G5 Plus told me that the only way of improving it is by copying the tuning of other S5K3L8 sensors used in other devices. But it is used in Xiaomi Redmi 4 and its camera is worse than ours so i don't think that is going to be a good idea. Another way actually is by modifying the libs yourself. Which i cannot do at the moment.
Just use Google Camera for taking pictures atm. Its HDR+ mode is a touch of magic.

The only way to confirm properly is to look at the hardware. Any idea where we may be able to find images of just the Samsung camera module so I can compare it the the one in my G5S+?
To be honest I'm very happy with the way my HDR+ photos turn out.
My family are convinced this has a better camera than the iPhone SE from using gcam, so the phone must be somewhat capable of good photos Low light photos are crap though, tons of noise.
EDIT: Samsung specs say the S5K3L8 sensor is capable of only 30fps. Given we can record 1080p/60fps maybe it isn't that sensor?
That's strange, my g5s plus can only shoot 1080p/30fps. I don't know if it was after the latest camera update or not.
Edit: my mistake, apparently i was looking at the front camera settings. The rear camera can shot 1080p/60 just fine and are up to 30fps 4k

The samsung sensor is capable of shooting 4k videos but it is not enabled in most devices that are using it. For example in Xiaomi Redmi devices. I do not know precisely why and how but any speculation would bring no improvement to the camera whatsoever.

Laser auto focus???

Can anyone confirm if k20 pro has laser auto focus in addition to pdaf? Is this a hardware component or something to do with the software?
Its hardware component. Located between middle and lower camera.

You can see two dots between middle and lower camera, which indicate laser auto focus presence.
Will that enhance camera performance?

Depends on how you define camera performance. For quick and accurate focus, definitely.
Wonder why none of the reviewers talk about this feature in their videos. Lol
Because it is not stated by Xiaomi anywhere. Saw it on JerryRigEverything K20 Pro teardown
