Hi just got my smasung note 8 and have been asked to take photos at a small family wedding in a weeks time. Can any recommend what settings or any tips ? Any help appreciated as little time to learn myself. Thanks in advance
Hmm honestly the auto mode is really good, it does a really great job..
But if it's 1 or 2 people having their photo taken, have a go at live focus, if you can get it working good you can produce some amazing photos.

Also make sure your battery is fully charged and take a good high capacity power bank! Using flash a lot might drain the battery ... never done a photo "session" with a phone camera but good luck with it all! The Note camera is very good and using live focus will give you the opportunity to get some lovely "soft focus" shots ...

Live focus is built into the note 8's stock camera application, as long as you are on the rear camera it should say 'live focus' just above the shutter button

If you have time look into ported Google Camera. If you're planning to shoot a wedding, I'd recommend going for it, as it will increase your picture quality and improve the low light performance. Newer versions also come with a decent portrait mode built in.
i have a question is there a way to launch the camera with pro mode and standard mode

Just a random shot.
The camera produces very usable images and i'm an amateur photographer with a Canon 5D.

Thanks for sharing pics buddy. Looks really good. What about pics in low light conditions.
I think if you play captured video in quick time thr is no issue with it and to me it seems software issue which can be easily fixed in next update (hopefully LG do that).
Low light quality is just like every other small sensor phone camera, mostly crap. With an imaging sensor so small, you will not get close to real camera quality anytime soon.
I think the camera in the Black is just the average smartphone quality. There might be slightly better ones and slightly worse, but it's still just a smartphone.

Hy. I have a big problem with my wife phone p20 pro. When i prepare or take photo in any camera app there are pink litle spots on screen that get bigger on zoom. And when i zoom it to max there are pink squares. The phone function amazing until 2 days ago. It is not burn screen. Only camera apps do so. Also the pink spot are visible in photo.

Try to reset all the camera settings and see if it helps, if not you could try factory resetting the entire device. If that doesn't help it 'might' be dead pixels on the sensor/sensors.

it may be the phone motherboard has failed.
Recommended to go after-sales service to ask for help.
Motherboard? I dont think so. This problem is only with camera app. Not on screen in any other app. Why motherboard. It seem mote like a sensor camera issue. The phone is 4 month old. That why i never renonce to samsung and go with Huawei. Chines alwais use cheap material and go for premium device.

Guys is moon mode working perfectly on your devices? I am facing focusing problem while shooting the moon.
Please share your experience.
Moon mode ? Where is it ?
I took some photos with it but looks horrible, like other basic phone. I prefer taking photos with Pro mode.
This is from Pro mode so.. think about the moon mode, I erase that photos but I don't see the moon how should be

But camera did not focused correctly while taking the snap.
Is it possible to solve this issue on next upgrade?
What do you mean by not focusing properly, give use a sample. Also don't expect a sharp pictures.
here is it. no matter how much I stable my hand image are same.
So you've got a couple problems with this mode
#1 it is digital zoom which is garbage and will always result in horrible pictures
#2 zooming in that far with no image stabilization is nightmare fuel
Yep, is not so good
The first one is with de Pro mode
The second one is with the Moon mode X10
I don't know why Moon mode that is supposed to be specific for the moon is worse than take a photo manually
I use an tripod in both photos

I haven't checked the exif data but I would assume moon mode is running at a lower iso and longer shutter
Hi everyone. What happened to the burst mode on the pixel camera? All of my research says Google removed it when updating to Android 10. If so, what 3rd party camera do you recommend that allows burst mode shots and/or Gif creations?
Pixel camera now favors live photo over burst took me a minute to understand that
When you choose a live photo you can see all the frames and select one
My fave second camera app is open camera but don't think it has burst anymore also

There's an option for video or GIF for motion photos if you tap export.

Aaah ok. So I should enable motion photos and then when exporting follow your instructions? Thanks mate!
The quality is so bad that the photos are barely usable.

The quality of what is so bad? Are you talking about the long press video recordings? Yes they're pretty low quality because they're only 1024 x 768. I really don't understand that "feature" for long press video if it's not going to record the default video settings.

Sorry, the quality of motion photos (top shot?) Or when you press and hold shutter button. Quality of alternative photos as the main one is good quality.

Yeah see my updated post about the long press videos. As for Top Shot, it's very good when it's actually a photo and not the long press video.

Hi everyone. I have been wondering for a while after using the Pixel 7 for 2 weeks.
Is there a way to force the Pixel 7 to operate in a manual mode that enables us to control the WB, focus, ISO, and shutter speed? If not, what would be a good third-party app that does?
I came from a OnePlus 6, so I am a little disappointed that the Pixel 7 cannot do that. Any thoughts?

Open the camera, click on the drop-down from the top left, more settings.
I had the OnePlus 7t. I miss that phone, and I dislike their new skin/dumb options.

Hi Grandpajiver.
Thank you for the suggestion. This is not what I am referring to. I am interested to seek from others if there is a full manual mode like something similar to OnePlus devices or Samsung's.
Still open to suggestions.

Open Camera could be what you're looking for

Even with different apps that support Camera2 I think you'll spin your wheels. With unofficial Gcam mods or Open Camera you might make some headway with ISO and white balance, maybe a focus override. For manual shutter and aperture there will be obstacles not worth pursuing. These phones just aren't made for shutterbug tweaking.
On one hand it's unfortunate that manual exposure isn't a thing with Pixels. On the other hand, better than average output with a minimum of fuss is why Pixel cameras are better than average. I admit I'd rather use Samsung or Sony camera systems but I'd rather use a Pixel for everything else.
