is there a way for the live focus mode not to zoom in on the object? i need to stand 1 to 1.5 m away from the object.

What are the best settings in Pro mode to photograph stars. I'm working on an iso of 3200 and a shutter speed all the way up to 30. What other settings are suggested. I'm not sure what the eV and af are...
Any answers here ?
You'd want a tripod for your P20 Pro, set your iso anywhere above 3200, your shutter to 10+ seconds, leave your EV (exposure value) to 0 and AF (autofocus) to MF (manual focus) and focus to infinity so it doesn't shift focus way from your subject (in this case the sky). Ensure you're photographing a clear and dark sky as well. You can find more at davemorrowphotography, which has a tutorial on this.
Hope that helps!
Think along the same lines as using a DSLR. Have the shutter open no longer than 30 seconds. Stay under 3200 and make sure you're set to infinity. With a phone you'll really need dark sky's. Don't expect the photo to be of sharp quality because keep in mind the size of the sensor that's in the phone compared to that of a DSLR
Did you try the star mode? It's very cool
hi, where can I buy a good head to fit the phone in a Manfrotto tripod ?
Can somebody explain the difference between taking a picture in the standard "Photo" or "Pro" mode with Depth turned on vs. taking a picture in Bokeh mode? Is there and advantage of one over the other. Also, does capturing Depth have any effect for editing the RAW files in Lightroom? The camera processes pictures much faster with Depth turned OFF. So what I'd like to know is if there is any point in capturing Depth for regular everyday pictures (scenery, random family pics, etc.) in Photo or Pro mode vs. using Bokeh mode when I want that background blur effect.
I am rather confused by this too. According to the manual Bokeh is if you know you will want to change the focus area after taking the shot and Depth mode is for creating "a sense of depth and perspective". I suspect the depth images contain a lot more information than the Bokeh ones so will give you the potential for more impressive results. I just took test images in both modes of the same scene and actually the Bokeh image was the larger file (11MB versus 6.9MB), but I believe the depth mode data may be heavily compressed.
I have this phone and i am verry happy with this phone.i buy the phone on 15 march
But when i start the phone the first time there was a update.after the update i start the camera but i bever Find the bokeh modus on the camera app.is this function gone after the update ? Sorry my englisch is ferry bad .
Hi, you have to go into the camera app and select Bokeh mode from the list of modes about a quarter of the way up from the bottom (left to Pro). Depth mode is different and is activated from within the camera in Pro mode from the options at the top. Its the item to the right of the "hamburger". Hope that helps!
Thank you ferry much.
I have camera app 91.9.1160.53
And i still cant find bokeh .
I found a newer version of the app and try to install it.
IT was version 91.9.1170.61
When i open the app i can see bokeh.
Butt the app crashes when i choose bokeh.
I removed the update.
Do you Nokia 9 users have the same camera app version ?
Greetings
look at the camera settings and select mode management. Maybe it is switched off there?
I have the same version as you and I see it
If the camera app crashes, you should charge the battery. It's a known bug.
Oke thanks ,gonna try IT out
This is how mode management looks like

The difference is that Bokeh Mode puts the fake bokeh into the RAW file and you cant undo it anymore, right?
The biggest difference is... Don't use Bokeh, just enable Depth and set your focus manually. Bokeh is basically just a quick point-and-shoot version that tries to identify the target. Manual depth editing allows full control over it after the picture is taken. Just use the Depth editing.

This , just use Depth, works much better.
Bokeh mode on Nokia 9 is horrendous most of the time, it blurs some parts and leaves other parts unblurred (seems like the help Google provided did NOT include machine learning blurring lol).
I have a problem with bokeh I have my Nokia 9 and I am very happy with it. I just don't have bokeh mode in the camera app. I have the February patch. I have the camera app 91.9.1160.53 But no bokeh mode. Is there someone with the same problem

If i switch my phone from english to dutch , the "bokeh" mode changes to "staande modus" . for the rest it functions exactly the same .
So "Bokeh" = "Staande modus".
Except for the weird/wrong translation into dutch you are good.
I have 91.9.1160.53 on my phone .
Thank you so much for your message.
Funny. The Polish translation is also f *cked up. "Bokeh" = "Orientacja pionowa" (which means vertical orientation).
Bokeh mode isn't great on the phone though. If you enable Depth and just use Auto or Pro, you'll get a lot better pictures, and also be able to manually adjust the focus after the image is captured, instead of having the weird artificial looking focus point that Bokeh mode offers.
After the update ,finaly i have bokeh modus ?
Have a Nice weekend
When I switch bokeh mode on the front camera, video feed in viewfinder becomes very slow. Do you have the same issue?
Is live focus supposed to only work with faces? Or should it work with different objects (like selective focus on older Samsung devices)? Because when I try to use live focus on inert objects the effect doesn't apply. (Sorry for my bad english)
Normal Lve Focus does not require a face, it only requires an object that's within range.
Faces only gets Live Focus work faster.
Best live focus range is within 1 - 1.5 Meters.
For subjects, shoot at closer range.
If you still have problems, try wipe app data & cache, then try again.
The big circles mode for some reason requires faces(shame on you samsung) but here's the thing: if you shot in normal blur mode, you can capture everything in live focus, but if you shot faces you will be able to change the blur to the big circles one in stock gallery app

Thanks both of you. You are right @michel333alfa, I just noticed that big circles mode requires faces, but the others work fine with any object.
Does anyone know how to use the normal lens while taking a portrait shot in K20pro?It always switches to the telephoto, which is sometimes annoying.
