Is Nokia 8 camera full manual?

Does Nokia 8 camera support full manual settings? Could you please test with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test and show results here?
Also has anybody tried any 3rd party camera apps like OpenCamera, Camera FV-5 or those SnapDragon Camera ports which can be found here on XDA? Is photo quality different compared to Nokia 8 stock camera?

The pixel camera apk works but flash is iffy. There is another thread about the camera in questions n answers

I'm interested in this too - especially for Camera2 manual controls, bearing in mind that some devices may show full Camera2 compatibility, but there's still the question of whether it works bug-free. Third party camera apps with Camera2 are:
A Better Camera: enable Settings/General settings/More/"Use Camera2 interface".
Snap Camera HDR (Trial): enable Settings/Other/"Use Camera2 API".
AZ Camera: this uses Camera2 by default.
Footej: this uses Camera2 by default.
Open Camera (disclaimer, I'm the author!): enable Settings/"Use Camera2 API".
How do things like flash, manual shutter speed, RAW work on the Nokia 8? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm thinking about buying Nokia 8 at some time in the future and this full manual camera is the most important feature.
One more thing that the Manual compatibility test app does not show: does Nokia 8 support touch light metering? I.e. if there are light and dark areas in viewfinder, automatic light metering would burn the light areas. With touch metering you touch the light area and the result is more natural.

Shutter seems to be limited.
Cant exposure over 1s, hoping that update will fix it.
I think lg g6 have same sensor maybe im wrong but it will exposure 30s

Which camera app is best for manual controls?

Opencamera...you can play with iso speed and shutter is limited still to 0.1s
Enable in app camera 2api feature.
If yuo want just pont and shoot take google camera apk .
In oreo beta, only build in camera app records video.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/ there is the arnova apk i like that.
You xan test the cyanogen cam too...it has manual controls but still shutter speed limited to 0.1s

Camera app is extremely disappointing and needs an urgent update. This app freezes time and again which is quite annoying.

Do you mean the stock camera app freezes? Have you tried any 3rd party camera apps, do they freeze, too?

Camera2 API on Moto G5S Plus

Has anyone tried enabling the Camera2 API on this device? Just found out that g5s plus doesn't have camera2 api, which pretty much sucks since this phone is able to use manual mode. I haven't tried it yet because my device isn't rooted and I don't have stock firmware (XT1805). For those who want to try, just make sure you are rooted and have a build.prop editor then add this line persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1. Give your feedback if it works.

Mine came with full Camera2 support out of the box. XT1806, US model.

I didn't had it but using custom ROM with beans gapps makes Google camera works partially on XT 1804 it didn't had API2 by default on stock ROM duh it sux that XT1806 got API2 enabled by default and other models doesn't

Kinda unfair of what Moto did.
When I took a test from Camera2 Probe app, it returned this result. I don't know if this means that my phone has Camera2 enabled, all I know is it's supposed to be "Full" instead of "Level 3"

No level 3 means the best it gives full and plus access to Camera 2 API but the problem is you can't find single application that supports this level of access through system library SD 625 got hexagon 500 too so basically if someone spend enough time on Google camera than he/she might be able to successfully port fully supported Google camera with slow mo upto 120 fps , RAW support and HDR+ too not sure about ZSL
And I saw all Moto g5s plus models supports camera2 but it's not enabled for some models while some have it enabled outta box

Wow, I have so much to learn. So that means that our only hope in taking better pictures is for moto to optimize the camera software? It's been a while since the last update of Camera Tuner, Moto Camera 2 was recently updated though.

> RAW is good too if u don't mind RGB color on blue side no natural colors in pics as it's more on blue side it's also lil more saturated in colors, noise reduction is mid lvl on HDR+RAW+JPEG (u have to enable this option in setting Menu of camera) and noise reduction is high on turning off HDR+ but it's still decent when u take nature's pic out side in daylight
> normal one sux it got so much noise in pics no clear pics in short makes it feels like we r using some cheap camera

Thanks for posting that screen grab of Camera2 Probe app! I was going to open a thread asking about the Camera2 API support level of the G5S Plus when I came across this. I'm interested in pro video recording apps and an app like "Filmic Pro" needs the device to have either "Full" or "Level 3" support, otherwise you can't even install the app. From what I learned about the G5 Plus it only had "Legacy" support level (the worst) which was very unfortunate but judging from your screen shot of the G5S Plus, Motorola/Lenovo finally upped their game!

I think if in this level 3 is possible to increase more lens aperture.
Currently our G5S Plus have 3,2 secs, no more.
In G5 Plus, other dev put 30 secs with magisk module, take wonderful night pics.

Camera Noise Reduction - Remove this awful 'feature'

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd post this as since I've had my S5 (within last 6 months) I have been quite disappointed by the quality of the camera images, particularly in mid to low light. Having had a Xperia Z2, LG G3 and G2 I had seen that the S5 was meant to have by far the best camera out of its peers. Unfortunately, while not as anywhere near as bad as the Z2, the S5 is significantly worse than both the G3 and the G2, mainly due to the awful noise reduction implemented by the Samsung firmware. The Z2 also had this problem in spades, and the only way to remove it was to unlock the bootloader and erase the DRM keys.
I though that this was the same on the S5 (or even completely impossible), but have recently discovered a camera app called 'Snap Camera HDR' in the Play Store. There is a free version and a paid version.
The app is the most fully featured camera app I have seen (I have used Open Camera, Camera FV-5 and many others), with tonnes of options and manual controls.
They key thing though is that it allows you to disable the built in noise-reduction: Go through the menu and select, then deselect the option 'Denoise'
There are also options to select 'Samsung Camera Mode' which enables real-time HDR (you have to select 'Use OpenGLES 2.0' under 'Other'), and you can also increase image sharpness and
change compression levels.
I've done some real world tests and I think the difference is huge. I'd rather have a little bit of noise and keep a sharper, more detailed, more natural image.
Here are some comparisons (I've cropped them down so you can see the detail more easily):
(P.S.: I have absolutely nothing to do with the Snap Camera developers)

Hm, nice find. I'm not sure if I'd need it thought since I'm on the Note 7's camera app. Any idea if the Note's camera app has this problem or not? I'm no picture taking guy so i can't tell by myself. I've barely used my camera during the past 3 years.
PS: The S5's camera was never good in low light, its strength was only during the day

great, great discovery I was propio looking for a good room for lineage 15.1 unofficial, thanks

This also seems to work without root (I have root but the app has never asked for SU permissions). I'm not sure why other camera apps don't have this feature.
Camera FV-5 has several image adjustments (such as saturation and sharpness) but they don't actually seem to work.
I have an AT&T S5 so I'm unfortunately stuck with stock based ROMs. Does anyone know if this heavy handed noise reduction exists on AOSP or other ROMs?
This might actually make me like my S5. I'm looking forward to getting out and taking some decent shots with the phone now!

Here is an example of the highly customisable UI

Also the built in camera of LineageOS 14.1 has the option to disable camera noise reduction.
With this camera you also have the possibility to take pictures in RAW mode without compression and you can also use HDR mode (but without flashlight) :good:
regards

RAW? I didn't think Camera2 was supported on the S5 hardware..? Is the Lineage camera available as an apk?

Here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...a-2-0-002-776519c100-30-android-apk-download/
I don't know if it is RAW but pictures in best quality mode have a very big filesize.

Probably not RAW then. You'd know if it was RAW as you'd have to use a special image viewer and process the photographs afterwards.
I can't install it to test unfortunately as I'm limited to Lollipop.

Resurrecting this.
Tried the app in a hope it would allow me to disable the noise filter on my Galaxy Note 7 LDU. It does. But it also restricts the shutter speed to 1/10th of a second. Unacceptable having up to 10 seconds capability. Overall the app has a hard to use and confusing UI. Users complain that there is no support at all to ask devs for help or features. Ditched it.

Fair enough. I still use it and as far as I'm concerned it's the best camera app for Android. I get what you mean about the UI, but what I like is that you can customise it quite a lot.
You can use the 'gesture' / 'pie' controls, or (as I do) chose to add all the required switches and adjustments as static buttons around the camera edge.

RAW DNG Support

Just thought I'd share, although it might be common knowledge, that I didn't realise the X720's camera supports RAW output. :laugh:
I'm using 'HD Camera Pro' which is currently free on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromedia.manual.camera.dslr
This app outputs to DNG and CaptureOne reads these files just like any other DNG (although MacOS Finder struggles). If you wish to process DNG files on the phone you'll need Snapseed.
Images are aways 31.08MB which suggests that they are a true capture of the camera sensor's RAW data.
Images are definitely sharper and contain more detail but saturation needs boosting (buts that's fairly normal for RAW images).
