so this worked fine for the first few days- the bit where you get to tap on areas you want the focus to be on (and blur everything else)
usually the aperture circle appears and then you can slide up and down to adjust the f-stop to widen the area that gets blurred.
all of a sudden, the circle no longer sticks so I'm unable to adjust the aperture.
things I've tried but to no avail:
clearing Gallery app data
clearing camera app data
reboot
turn off and then turn on
anyone have this issue please feel free to chime in and find a solution together
Do you have this issue only in the aperture mode or also in the regular camera mode? Meaning do you get the brightness slider wenn tapping for focus in regular camera mode?
Working fine for me Btw.

Hm can't find any setting that would affect that. There is a "restore default" button in the camera settings, have you tried that?
I guess the only other thing I can come up with at this time is a full factory reset

hmm nah I've already deleted data for both cam and gallery apps.. that should work better than reset defaults. it's strange, as though both sliders are the same thing across both apps.

OK so I worked backwards.. quite painfully.. on all the changes I made over the past few days and I worked out what was causing the issue.
It was a problem that I created for myself really.. but one that was totally unexpected and I'm sure is a bug.
I changed all UI animation to None in developer settings to get around quicker and it was the Window Animation that did it. changed it back to .5x and both the camera brightness slider as well as the aperture slider returned.
strange but true.
anyway, SOLVED.
Thanks for posting the solution. Haven't got my P9 yet but I usually turn off Window Animation as well. I can see how they are related but it really shouldn't affect the camera app functionality. Definitely a bug imo.

Hi man,
I tried to do it, but it doesn't work for me. I also had all the UI animations deactivated, and even though I turned them on individually, and simultaneously, nothing happened. The thing is that I do have aperture slider and the camera brightness one, but when i take the shot on wide aperture mode, and open the gallery the wide aperture icon doesn't appear.
Thanks anyway.

I think my problem is not related with the animations and UI tweaks that we can turn off from the developer settings (because i have the sliders working properly). The thing is that... is like the WAM (wide aperture mode) is there on the camera, you can use it, but it really doesn't take any effect on the photo....like a preview mode...nothing else.... I know is weird. But if I go to the gallery, and open the photo that I supposelly took with the WAM, the little icon to change the value is not there. It is a normal photo.

Everything seems to work except the exposure settings. It is only enabled in video camera mode. Anyone have this?
Get 3 more posts here and say this in the serendipity thread in the Development forum. Or maybe youll get lucky and have mikey see this, he reads here sometimes.
yup just the more posts haha

I just tested mine in a dark room with the computer screen, and it lightens to pick up the room light and darkens to capture the computer screen - all this with serendipity 5.7 (or else I wouldn't be posting).
So it isn't the ROM, for me. I haven't done anything with the camera except flash the video camera fix app - that was just supposed to fix the auto focus on video. It works now. Maybe it worked before too.

Tell me if you can select the exposure icon (+/-) below the timer on the left in camera mode because I can't select it.

I'm having the same thing hadn't noticed though... i think it's a wonky setting somewhere.
See if you have anti shake on... if it is it removes the exposure settings.

Problem is after you uncheck the option that disabled the feature that the -/+ does not come back as it stays greyed out.

Not true.
FYI, auto contrast also kills it.

Hi,
I have noticed the default camera app sets the display brightness to full when loaded. It's irritating since the picture you see on the display when taking the picture is different from when you view it in the gallery.
So I installed Quicksnap and noticed it does the same.
So, do ALL the camera apps do this or is there some way to stop it happening?
Thanks all,
Oobly

you might want to check the outdoor visibility in the settings of the camera
That's with outdoor visibility off. With it set to on it goes even brighter and oversaturates the colours. Anyone else got some feedback on this?
Thank you.
Well, from scratching around in the ROM and looking at kernel source code it looks like the mDNIe settings are to blame. There are different profiles for different display tasks and the camera ones seem to be setting the brightness up. Will play around with the files associated with each profile, maybe I can fix it meself.
Is this possible via the stock camera app at all or I need to look into Filmick (or other 3rd party apps) for such features? Auto focus and auto exposure adjusting constantly when shooting changing scenery/lighting can be a real PITA. Cheers
You can use the pro mode to focus manually and get a fix exposure.

Aaargh... I had thought of that so I had looked in Pro mode but didn't see any relevant video settings (or so I thought). Now when someone tells you it's there it somehow extends your awareness and voila, there's a camera icon on the top right corner that, wow, switches to Pro mode for video
Thanks man!
Is this camera icon shows up when you are in the pro mode? Or where? I can't see it.

haha, glad I was not the only one to whom it wasn't so evident!
Enter Pro mode, to the right you see the normal "Photo shoot" button, above it there is a camera icon, hit it and the button changes to "Rec" button and you are in Pro Video mode.
Haha, I found it, thanks man

But how do I change the focus while shooting video? I can use a slider to focus but not during shooting.

That one I know but I thought you can use the focus slider to have nice effects.
Hi! You can do that. open camera>Settings>Enable the object tracking option.
When launching the camera app in LOS, there's a strange icon on the screen, I can neither recognize nor find its purpose. It's the third symbol from the right at the top of the screen. It looks like something inside a circle, surrounded by some stars. If tapped, a slider appears on the screen, with a setting from "low" to "high", but I simply can't find out what it does.
What is this slider and this camera mode supposed to do?
Provide a screenshot, please.
Here you are. It's the symbol in the middle, and it's blue, because it's active. The slider belongs to this symbol, when deactivating this mode, the slider disappears.
Still no ideas, anyone?

At a rough guess, it looks like you've got the camera app set to take HDR+ photos by default. These are multiple images taken when you take a photo, which are merged to create a single photo. These take a bit of processing time and that notification looks like it's informing you that is currently creating the HDR+ image.

Yes, sir! I do have HDR+ set as default. But it's been about 2 hours, brother. Seems like a bug to me.

Happens to me, but with Modded Google pixel camera... I just uninstalled it, don't know why it happens and it's just go away with restart, but pictures are not saved...
Are you on Android Q and using GCam?
Most GCam versions aren't working properly with Android Q.
That is one of the known bugs, HDR not working.
