Hi, I want to create another profile in media_profiles.xml (or edit existing one, 480p for example)for recording in dark environment.
I succesfully changed audio and video quality, but I can't decrease framerate for brighter videos (camera FCor I can't press record button). I know, that is possible - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583259 (yes yes, stock rom and another variation od i9000 series, but this mod is based on the same thing as I wrote - brighter videos by lowering framerate .. and it works - I had this phone before)
quote:
If you limit the framerate to a minimum of 30fps, the video can become very dark when there is not enough light. If you lower this limit to - say - 10 fps, the video will be brighter in low light, but it will be "laggy" and because each frame is exposed longer than at 30 fps, blur will be more likely. Both is inevitable, but in my opinion still better than a black video
I will be grateful for any help, it is really important for me, because I often organizing a underground parties,
and I want to promote it, so I'm doing a video report from them and... audio quality is superb (better than S3 or S4!),
but (as I said - underground parties) it is dark, there is only a strobe, small light for artists and nothing else, so ... almost nothing can be seen on my recordings
I love how the stock ROM will not drop frames in low light, at both 30 and 60fps. Also, OOS allows all 3rd party camera apps to also remain at a steady 30fps. Have ROMs been able to achieve this level of performance yet? I'm looking for video/screen record samples so I can check before flashing (or returning the phone).
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.
Hello everyone,
I am in Xiaomi.eu and when I try to play an HDR10 video in youtube the screen blacks out and only sound plays. The touch screen is responsive so if you know the taps you can close the video and the screen will work again but I really want to see the difference in HDR content. Is it a Xiaomi.eu problem, or a general bug? Thank you in advance.
SOLVED: I do not know if this is a problem with the original MIUI but if the Contrast & Colors is set to Automatic contrast HDR works. I used standard contrast and that was the source of the problem .
When looking at a video on Youtube, HDR "visibly kicks in" (screen changes color temperature) and is visible in Youtube Quality settings.
The problem might come from the Xiaomi.eu rom or a setting.
BTW, you should assume, when using a custom rom, that it's always the origin of the problem, and ask your question in another way, like "Anyone on custom rom has hdr working" instead of thinking that it must be a Youtube bug lol
The phone has no option to record at 60 fps. Am I missing something or this flagship cannot record at 60fps?

Open the Camera app.
Go to Video mode.
At the top of the screen, where it appears de screen-ratio icon (9:16 or an square icon), thereis a little horizontal bar just below that icon. Scroll it down.
There it will appear more options like selecting resolution 8k, 4k, FHD and also FPS.
60 fps does not work with 8K and I have to say that there is some bug recording at 60ps (4k or 1080p). It will not focus properly, but try it.
Oh thank you very much bro..I would have never found it if not for you. And yes you are right, the camera is not able to focus.
I find this issue even with photos. Like when I want to take a close up photo of a document or an object the camera won't fo us properly.
I hope Motorola knows about this bug that focus on camera is totally broken.
