Hi Guys,
As P20 Pro is my very first Huawei device I would like to ask whether:
1) any of You figured out the way to enable developer options in PrivacySpace?
2) there is any possibility to turn the mic off when shooting motion pics or adjust it somehow? I get the impression that mic is way too sensitive and if records too much of the background buzz.

Hmm...can anyone teach me how to access the secondary camera? I searched the forum...some say that there is an 'arrow' in the setting menu but i don't see it.
Anyone help?
ThxThx!
Make a video call from the dialer.
Hmm..I just notice that my camera's setting menu cannot display any text at all. Like...all buttons has no text on it...only with some rectangle buttons.
If I in my dialer choose video call it use the front cam
if I in my camera settings choose camera source and set it to front camera it also use it
mind you the front cam is made for video calls and is not as high quality both mp and opticalwise as the back one
As a "proper" camera, the unit seems to be missing some things I'd expect by default. How do you turn off auto-focus an focus manually... taking pictures at night - the stars etc - invariably the images are out of focus.
Also auto-exposure control - you can turn that off easily for images but for videos there seems to be no way to turn off the auto exposure - which makes the end product look very amateurish.
Finally whenever I go out at night, the LCD dims, I can't seem to stop that and it dims WAY too much?
Any ideas chaps?

It appears that you cannot turn Auto Focus off but you might be able to find a third party camera app in the Play Store that allows this
Settings for video are sparse it's true and again there is no control over the exposure etc.
I didn't notice the LCD dimming, The camera doesn't have an auto brightness LCD so I am not sure what's causing that. Turning the brightness up from the drop down notification bar is easy enough though.
Sorry these are not the answers you are looking for but we have to remind ourselves that this is a premium camera not a pro camera however.

Thanks for that. I will indeed look out for such an app. Agree with you that it's not a "pro" camera - but for example - on the iPhone who's video handling is equally dire, there's an app that completely compensates by letting you shoot 16:9 with auto exposure, auto focus and auto-white all turned off at the touch of a button. This camera really does need such controls to make it useful for anything other than "party" videos. Its a big disappointment that Samsung would miss off such obvious controls having taken the effort to make a special camera app in the first place.
there are only 2 focus modes as far as I can tell, auto and macro.
night sky shots have worked fine for me using auto focus though.
I made some nice pictures of a crescent moon without a tripod or manual focus, and it was sharp enough to see the craters on the moon.
using manual camcorder under expert you can set the brightness, and white balance for video recording manually(wb is under the settings gear)
lcd dimming: settings gear - general - display brightness
the settings gear is hidden under the > and the expert mode can be accessed through the mode button.
don't be so afraid to dig a bit through settings.
I often see complaints about missing/misbehaving features in apps when it's all available through a settings screen.
EDIT: apprentice: auto brightness works using the camera sensor, so it only works while in the camera app.
Thanks for that - so solved the LCD brightness, but I've gone through all the settings and cannot figure out how to turn off the auto-focus or the auto-brightness. Put your hand in front of the lens - and both kick in whether you want them or not... any ideas anyone?

As far as I can tell in camcorder mode, the one thing you can set - brilliance- is only relative brilliance - the exposure still bobs up and down like a YoYo.... making the movies look terrible - surely guys there has to be a way to turn this off?
Hello I have a Huawei p10 vtr-09. vtr09c02b159 build.
When I record a video I cannot mute in the camera settings. Why? How to repair this?
Moreover how to apply to enable the Voice over IP calling (VoLTE? In Hungary? Because from the Mobil network option, missing this option.
In advice thank you for help.
When you switch to the video mode, do you swipe and not see an option called Mute?
I can see but when I activate the mute video. These does not mute the video.
Ahh, sadly what that does is just Mute the sound when you press the record button. You're going to have to get a third party app for that sorry

Hi all,
is there a way to disable (or customize) the camera mode "greenery" ?
Because imho when I frame a scene with some plants trees etc, mater ai activates this mode and the result is a photo with too saturated colors...
The grass is so green that the photo seems to be made near Chernobyl
Any suggestions?
Thanks
You can just click the X on the greenery banner whenever it recognises a frame as greenery.
Problem solved[emoji12]

When your device suggests "greenery", you can simply close the suggestion on the side (by tapping the X) and shoot it without AI. No need to completely disable it. But unfortunately, no way to customize it.
ok ok I know that I can click on X to disable (temporary) this mode. And I know that I could disable Master AI from the camera option. But disable a single mode should be very useful. If I'm in a park I have to click X every time -,-
Anyway I feared that there were no other solutions.. but in doubt it is better to ask
I just received my x90 pro plus, and i playin with the cameras but i can't find something that i saw review in the x80 pro and i assume that this X90 Pro Plus got it too.
That is night mode durin video, i see nigh mode but only for photos, and i don't see anmy icon of night mode while i am at the video option.
It activates by his own, there is a setting maybe, or this x90 pro plus doesn't have it?
Thanks
You need to go to settings in video and turn on smart notification for video, then when you are in video mode and the camera detects it is dark (put your hand over the lens) it will give you an icon to the left of the shutter button of a moon and star, tap that and it will go into night mode, it doesn't work in 4K 60, works in 4K 30
Thanks, that's it, got another question if you don't mind. I can't make it work notification on the lock screen with or without password. I mean show basic icon or details, I had to unlock the phone. Just try several settings but not luck.
I add a photo if it is some use to you.
