Hello folks!
I wonder if it is possible to capture videos with the Monochrome Sensor of the View 10 ? I tried a lot, but never got any results. And because i am really bad in coding, maybe one of you has an answer to this problem ? The Monochrome sensor has a really good image quality and if we could use the 20 mPxl of it for Monochrome Videos with bokeh it would be awesome!
I can choose monochrome in camera options. Is it just the monochrome sensor or both?
you can select monochrome in camera. it works well with photo but cannot shoot videos in monochrome.

I saw a topic from P9 forum where folks discused the question- wether the phone actually uses both camera sensors at the same time... How is this with our p10? I tried to take some close-up shots with BW covered/ normaly- and there is 0 difference- same quality, size etc...
- Only case when I see actually both cameras working hard at the SAME TIME is when using bokeh mode.
BUT WAIT A SECOND. Huawei states that colour sensor is only 12MP ok, but how on the earth it came down that I was able to take 20MP pictures with BW covered???
Sooo, have you discovered something about this? I will try to take some far away landscapes tomorow and see if something changes then...
A Long time ago i think about the Same
How my P10 can take color pics in 20mp when it just have a 12mp sensor

It would be logical, if phone used both sensors at thr same time- buy using BW details combined with colours from 12MP. BUT i tried several times to cover that BW sensor and camera doesnt give a deamn, it takes 20MP colour pics anyway...
I read something about this months ago.
The camera uses both sensors in 20MP and HDR mode.
When you make a 20MP color picture, it makes a 20MP b/w picture and a 12MP color picture as stretched overlay.
With the good b/w contrast it looks really good even the color sensor has only 12MP.
This is also the reason why you can't use optical zoom in 20MP mode.
The zoom works with the b/w sensor, so it's not really optical zoom but "enhanced digital zoom".
Ok coming from Samsung , HTC, Asus and iPhone (I know I here you gasp)
I pretty much use my rear camera alot for work purposes, no selfies
Mostly its point and shoot I do and I know the camera on these are for ppl getting the right shot manually due to the settings
Have tried apps on this phone Like :
Camera FV-5 (same kind of results)
Open Camera (which seems to stay active in the background)
Now heres my question if you quickly take a photo, point and shoot (focusing first) using highest resolution
Once you zoom into the taken picture, its all grainy even if its took about 3-4 feet away from you
Now, if you take the same picture with monochrome its a better pic and if focusing on say a bottle with writing
Its more visible to read compared to the colour as the colour looks like its a water painting
Are you guys getting the same results or know preferred settings to use?
Thanks
Try to set the resolution to 12mp to enable the 2x "optical" zoom.
The color sensor is only a 12mp one, the monochrome sensor has 20mp.
If you enable 20mp in settings, the camera will make a monochrome and color photo and merge them into one. This is also the reason why the 20mp photos are a bit blurry or too bright on edges.
So, use 12mp and the grain should be mostly gone.
Here are three shots by me:

Thanks for comments
Is this with stock camera? stock rom?
as My pics are no where near as good as this on 8.0.0.379(C02)

Everything stock, 8.0.0.370 on VTR-L29C432, stock EMUI camera.
Can you show some examples?
Desk is about 4-5 feet away from me when taking these shots
Sunny outside
Just normal photo and putting focus on the bottles as shown (seen in zoomed photo)
You can clearly see they look terrible apart from monochrome
No settings have been touched apart from resolution
Zoom is about 4.6x
Monochrome
12MP
20MP
Zoomed in
I put some crap on the desk but if you can see the text is visible on some stuff to give you an idea
I'm considering buying the Nokia 9 and I am wondering if the camera can use the depth changing feature (bokeh) when taking monochrome pictures. I really enjoyed the monochrome camera on my old Huawei P10, and adding bokeh on black and white photos would be nice.
I know it's an old post, but for the ones wondering, there is no Depht setting for monochrome picture. Also, the picture is taken with one of the side B/W sensor, but the screen show what the centered sensor see. So in the end the photo is not centered as seen on screen when the photo was taken.
The thing is ... if the Nokia 9 PureView when shooting in black and white, it does so only using hardware, this is its three monochrome lenses (as it was said that Huawei Mate 10 Pro) or on the contrary (as it seems be that it does) uses the 5 lenses, the 3 monochromes and the two RGB and then desatura with software filter the image ...
If the case, it is confirmed that it is the latter, without problem in the depth map, in fact it seems better option to shoot the Pro mode (capture in RAW) and then in the edition from Adobe Lighroom desaturate the image, without being deceived, since "purely" by hardware, it seems "not to carry it out" in the same way that when the camera captures in color, the five lenses are always used together
it uses the 3 monochrome sensors.. I don't know who tells the opposite... the preview before you shot is from center rgb sensor desaturated.. but if you cover the 3 monochrome sensors and shot.. innthe start you ll see the image of preview.. but when fusing complete you'll see only a black picture
Hi guys,
I have just got the phone on Monday and I noticed that default setting for the camera is to take photos in 10 megapixels mode.
Is there any advantage of 10mp over 40mp mode that is available? What are differences?
I personally noticed that 40MP photos are darker and I need to hold my phone more steady than when taking them in 10MP resolution.
I attached 2 identical photos. The darker one is 10MP, the brighter one, little more blurry is 40MP
40MP option does not allow you to zoom. Only 1x

No real benefit. It uses pixel binning to downscale from 40mp to 10mp so essentially they end up the same quality
For quick snap or share I use the default Photo mode with 10 MP. If the photo will be used for web or print - then I use PRO mode + RAW format. RAW image from the main sensor is always is 40 MP - It does not depend on the resolution you choose.
RAW image + Lightroom edit + export is the best option for crisp and great quality photos.

That's true. If you're planning on shooting raw and editing yourself this is an instance where 40mp makes much more sense.
See men basically in well lit condition 10mp will take 9ver exposed pictures and 10 mp is for darker scenarios and 40mps use in day-time
Uooer image shot on 10mp u can see blue floor and red
Picture below is well balanced
I use 40 mp in when there is enough light, i prefer it for the more natural color and because I find 10mp over exposed
And I use 10 mp in low light condition
Hi. I bought a P30 Pro and I have a problem with blurry front camera.
All selfies, doesnt matter if in Portrait Mode, Photo Mode, with/without bokeh effect, all photos are just blurry.
Is there any way to fix this?
Rear camera is great, but the front is just.. just bad!
EDIT:
I have a P20 Pro too. When I hold phones at like 30cm, P20 Pro takes much better/sharper photos.
When I take photos at like 30cm+, P30 Pro is much clearer. Is there really no chance for sharp "close-up" photos?
Thanks!
Unfortunately not. The P30 Pro has a fixed focal length front camera. This means, that the images will be only perfectly sharp at a certain distance i think its about 50-60cm (arm length). Hope this helps!
There's a guide for selfies available...
