Hey guys I'm wondering if anyone has found out how to get selective focus on the note8? I enjoyed it on the s8+ and frankly the note8 live focus isn't the best. Anyone found anything?

Google camera still supports it. Look at the Google camera thread
Everybody just want to copy iPhone these days and do portrait mode instead. Not sure why they don't stand firm on what they created.

Hi..I already search the entire [Q] thread. BUT did not found answer to my question.
My question is there any software or tweak to enable zoom option in our beloved SGT Camera??
Or is it a hardware limitation?
Thanks in advance guys for the answer.
It has no mechanical/optical zoom so you'd be better off just taking the picture and then cropping the result.
That pretty much is what i do.

Oh well. Got to live with it..haha
If others have any opinion or possible solution about this issue. Feel free to inform us here. Thanks
Check out the Vignette app. There's a demo version and a paid one.
Hey guys, anyone pre-ordered the Z1s? When will you get it? Will you be able to do a port the camera? If not can you provide the devs with the flashable file from your phone?
Can't wait for someone to port this camera app as it seems umbelivably good!

My long-anticipated Z1s arrived yesterday and I'm still learning where the various camera menus and functions are. My previous phone was an HTC Sensation which has a camera that set a pretty high bar. I breed seahorses, so my use case is a really demanding one!! Low light through glass and water shots of microscopic moving targets (brine shrimp and seahorse fry) pre-dawn courtship rituals... I have really high hopes for this phone!! The motion tracking does surprisingly well, and compared to the HTC, the images are slightly softer, less gritty/noisy, but do seem to lack some of the sharpness and contrast of the Sensation (which was all or nothing when it came to autofocus). Still need to master the settings and preferences and adjust lighting, and get up the courage to actually dunk it INTO the tank!!
I'm not the one to ask about porting the app, but I'd be happy to answer questions about it and experiment for anyone who may be on the fence about buying one.
This sample is from a shot taken through glass.
An apk has been posted in the apps section

I did the same thing. Don't feel bad.
It didn't work on my phone at first. I had to reboot the phone then it worked fine.

This works so much better than the stock HDR feature - it's actually one of the main reasons why I insisted on a Snapdragon model.
Does anyone know the video recording limit on this camera app ?

I have the samsung unlocked version running on sprint, but I what do I have?
Also does it work side by side with the existing cam? I will be able to chose whichever cam I want to use?

There should be a download link on the post, it's right above the interview with the developer. Yes, I have them both installed on my home screen and they both work fine. Just install it like a regular apk.
Seems Note 8‘s camera works as well as google camera?
Is there somewhere that explains the differences in the various algorithms? I searched around but found only bits and pieces.
Also, it would be nice if someone could post which settings actually work for the Note 8. I tried a few and some wouldn't save and others
(I'm not a big camera buff and really don't use my phone's camera that much, otherwise I would.)
I'm seeing people state that the Google Camera is a bit better than the Stock Samsung one, but my experience is the opposite. Google Camera is giving me bad low light performance. I even used setting from the forums and was still subpar. What settings are you guys using?
I couldn't get this to work on my AT&T Note8 un-rooted.

Unlocked non-rooted on Verizon and installs fine. Samsung Camera is far superior including with HDR so I'll un-install now...
Any news on making this work on Note 8 Exynos variant?
It works only on snapdrago phones

Not correct. Works on Exynos too but if you try to make any changes to settings it'll crash. Only way to revive is by clearing storage from settings!
However I didn't find it significantly better than stock camera and night time/poor lit/dark conditions photos are definitely better with stock camera.
Am I the only one who has problems with selective focus mode on the front camera?

I ended up finding a test object in focus and forcing it to lock focus by long pressing and then aiming at the intended object.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't gotten it to work either. I talked to a buddy and he was having issues as well.
My wife will be devistated...she loves selfies haha. I don't take many but it is a bummer that it's not working.

Yea, for the selective focus to not work at all on selfies is odd. I'd imagine we start seeing more people complain of the issue before too long.
I haven't tested the live focus mode much. I came back to Android from the 7 Plus and it took quite a few updates before portrait mode worked very well. I'd imagine Samsung can dial it in with some updates too.

Maybe your unit might be defective? I'm not seeing any problems using selective focus or live focus on my end.

Sounds like a pretty common defect then. I now have 2 friends with the same issue. Is there a trick to getting selective focus to work? Lighting maybe?
Edit:. Has to be the lighting...just gave it another shot with no issues.

Yeah, usually there's a warning message that pops up saying there's not enough light in the shot. I was messing around with live focus in my bedroom under some tv lighting only and saw the alert. Makes sense.
Any updates to this? Anyone do more research? I have the same with the front camera when I gave more than 1 person in the photo. It will not focus and selective focus doesn't work either.

My old Huewei Honor 8 camera was simple to use. I could even easily blur the background after image was taken.
I'm also finding the same issues as you guys said with the note 8 camera.

I haven't been able to use selective focus on the front camera since I bought the phone. It keeps saying there is no subject detected. Please help.
I'll be joining the list of "front camera bug on selective focus mode". Unable to use it since I bought the phone too. I'm using the latest build for my country (N950FXXU2BQKG)
Hi Guys,
I bought the unlocked S10 Plus from Samsung US and use it on Verizon. I don't seem to have an option of Night Mode or anything like that camera app. Am I missing something?
Also, does anyone know the trick to consistently prompt for the "Scan" feature when taking pictures of documents? It's so flaky that it probably works like 5 to 10% of the times...
Thanks!

Night Mode is meant to arrive to North American phones in a future update. Samsung is not telling us when, no estimated time frame. But it's meant to arrive for us eventually.
For scanning documents, I highly recommend this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intsig.camscanner&hl=en_US
It's served me very well.

Got it, thank you for the education bud. I know about the scan apps but the one baked in the camera is neat, but it rarely fires... ?
Any reason for the exclusion of night mode for the US?

Samsung probably used EU for testing purposes, so US customers will have a bug free experience
I use the scan feature all the time, in my experience the scan feature wools 95% of the time, sometimes I have to try a second time to get the whole document in as it only scans most of it. As long as you scene optimiser is set it should work. I am in the UK with an unlocked S10 and although I have the new night mode I still don't have May security patch. It appears Samsung are updating all phones with May update before the S10's which is their flagships.

Well that app seems to have better features compared to what we have stock. More capabilities.

Aren't the exynos camera sensors different to the snapdragon models? That's my hunch.
