Does Nokia 8 camera support full manual settings? Could you please test with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test and show results here?
Also has anybody tried any 3rd party camera apps like OpenCamera, Camera FV-5 or those SnapDragon Camera ports which can be found here on XDA? Is photo quality different compared to Nokia 8 stock camera?
The pixel camera apk works but flash is iffy. There is another thread about the camera in questions n answers

I'm interested in this too - especially for Camera2 manual controls, bearing in mind that some devices may show full Camera2 compatibility, but there's still the question of whether it works bug-free. Third party camera apps with Camera2 are:
A Better Camera: enable Settings/General settings/More/"Use Camera2 interface".
Snap Camera HDR (Trial): enable Settings/Other/"Use Camera2 API".
AZ Camera: this uses Camera2 by default.
Footej: this uses Camera2 by default.
Open Camera (disclaimer, I'm the author!): enable Settings/"Use Camera2 API".
How do things like flash, manual shutter speed, RAW work on the Nokia 8? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm thinking about buying Nokia 8 at some time in the future and this full manual camera is the most important feature.
One more thing that the Manual compatibility test app does not show: does Nokia 8 support touch light metering? I.e. if there are light and dark areas in viewfinder, automatic light metering would burn the light areas. With touch metering you touch the light area and the result is more natural.
Shutter seems to be limited.
Cant exposure over 1s, hoping that update will fix it.
I think lg g6 have same sensor maybe im wrong but it will exposure 30s
Which camera app is best for manual controls?

Opencamera...you can play with iso speed and shutter is limited still to 0.1s
Enable in app camera 2api feature.
If yuo want just pont and shoot take google camera apk .
In oreo beta, only build in camera app records video.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/ there is the arnova apk i like that.
You xan test the cyanogen cam too...it has manual controls but still shutter speed limited to 0.1s

Camera app is extremely disappointing and needs an urgent update. This app freezes time and again which is quite annoying.

Do you mean the stock camera app freezes? Have you tried any 3rd party camera apps, do they freeze, too?
Try this if it helps:

After Android 8.1 beta, Any update about shutter speed support?
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd post this as since I've had my S5 (within last 6 months) I have been quite disappointed by the quality of the camera images, particularly in mid to low light. Having had a Xperia Z2, LG G3 and G2 I had seen that the S5 was meant to have by far the best camera out of its peers. Unfortunately, while not as anywhere near as bad as the Z2, the S5 is significantly worse than both the G3 and the G2, mainly due to the awful noise reduction implemented by the Samsung firmware. The Z2 also had this problem in spades, and the only way to remove it was to unlock the bootloader and erase the DRM keys.
I though that this was the same on the S5 (or even completely impossible), but have recently discovered a camera app called 'Snap Camera HDR' in the Play Store. There is a free version and a paid version.
The app is the most fully featured camera app I have seen (I have used Open Camera, Camera FV-5 and many others), with tonnes of options and manual controls.
They key thing though is that it allows you to disable the built in noise-reduction: Go through the menu and select, then deselect the option 'Denoise'
There are also options to select 'Samsung Camera Mode' which enables real-time HDR (you have to select 'Use OpenGLES 2.0' under 'Other'), and you can also increase image sharpness and
change compression levels.
I've done some real world tests and I think the difference is huge. I'd rather have a little bit of noise and keep a sharper, more detailed, more natural image.
Here are some comparisons (I've cropped them down so you can see the detail more easily):
(P.S.: I have absolutely nothing to do with the Snap Camera developers)
Hm, nice find. I'm not sure if I'd need it thought since I'm on the Note 7's camera app. Any idea if the Note's camera app has this problem or not? I'm no picture taking guy so i can't tell by myself. I've barely used my camera during the past 3 years.
PS: The S5's camera was never good in low light, its strength was only during the day
great, great discovery I was propio looking for a good room for lineage 15.1 unofficial, thanks
This also seems to work without root (I have root but the app has never asked for SU permissions). I'm not sure why other camera apps don't have this feature.
Camera FV-5 has several image adjustments (such as saturation and sharpness) but they don't actually seem to work.
I have an AT&T S5 so I'm unfortunately stuck with stock based ROMs. Does anyone know if this heavy handed noise reduction exists on AOSP or other ROMs?
This might actually make me like my S5. I'm looking forward to getting out and taking some decent shots with the phone now!
Here is an example of the highly customisable UI
Also the built in camera of LineageOS 14.1 has the option to disable camera noise reduction.
With this camera you also have the possibility to take pictures in RAW mode without compression and you can also use HDR mode (but without flashlight) :good:

RAW? I didn't think Camera2 was supported on the S5 hardware..? Is the Lineage camera available as an apk?
Here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...a-2-0-002-776519c100-30-android-apk-download/
I don't know if it is RAW but pictures in best quality mode have a very big filesize.

Probably not RAW then. You'd know if it was RAW as you'd have to use a special image viewer and process the photographs afterwards.
I can't install it to test unfortunately as I'm limited to Lollipop.
Resurrecting this.
Tried the app in a hope it would allow me to disable the noise filter on my Galaxy Note 7 LDU. It does. But it also restricts the shutter speed to 1/10th of a second. Unacceptable having up to 10 seconds capability. Overall the app has a hard to use and confusing UI. Users complain that there is no support at all to ask devs for help or features. Ditched it.

Fair enough. I still use it and as far as I'm concerned it's the best camera app for Android. I get what you mean about the UI, but what I like is that you can customise it quite a lot.
You can use the 'gesture' / 'pie' controls, or (as I do) chose to add all the required switches and adjustments as static buttons around the camera edge.
Whenever I shot a photo from front or back camera, it either doesn't focus at all or takes shaked photos, even when I seem stable with little motion, resulting in bad photo due low shutter speed. Does anyone else experience the same? Is it some hardware issue or it is software? The photos are usually blurry and overexposed. It seems like phone needs a tripod even with 'good light'. It results when I shoot the photo only, because in preview before I take the photo, everything seems focused.
The configuration I see in metadata is usualy 1/20 of shutterspeed with 400 of ISO, AI desabled. Mate 20 lite supports 3200 ISO, so what's the deal? I had Nexus 5X before, and I never experienced such an issue. In low light it was grainy, but focused with 3 years old Nexus 5X, what's with the mate 20 lite?
1. What are the results with the AI mode enabled?
2. Have you tried using the 'Pro' mode where you can adjust the ISO etc?
3. Can you upload full resolution images somewhere? I use imgit.org as it keeps exif data, but whatever works for you.
Hi, having the same "issue", also when trying to capture details (almost Macro photo) camera cant focus correctly....i went from a P9 to the Mate 20 Lite and i'm a little disapointed with the camera quality....hope that the problem it's some sort of configuration....
I always use Gcam.
I use stock app only for extremely lightened scenarios, not even with night mode (with AI stabilizer) because the quality's not the best.

It doesn't have HDR mode and night sight but I get much better results than with stock camera app.
Try it you don't need a rooted device.

In some dark pictures, the difference is bigger between stock app and gcam app. Try taking a picture with flashlight with both apps in the night and you'll see the difference. (The difference is not only in that case)

Maybe you're right, but i didn't use flash too often. In other hand, maybe have little more details in low light situations but with more noise compared to stock camera app. Even on day shots in shadow area visible noise to me.

In some pictures I take with stock camera (specially in dark situations) there's a blue tone rounding the photo and it's horrible. I prefer to take photos with gcam than Huawei cam. I hope Huawei solve the low quality of the cam in an update.
I had the P20 lite before Mate20 Lite and it took better pictures than Mate20 (even with the higher specifications of the Mate 20)

Thanks for share
The gcam quality is even worse on the selfie cam.
The original app actually seems pretty decent in terms of quality and features.
Weird. I get horrible quality on the front camera with default app..
I tried Gcam it's a good interface but after button some parameters I lost the zoom from 1 to 10 and I got a butteon instead like x0.6 or x2 and If I click on it the app instant crash xD
I didn't found a way yet to have the wide camera on Gcam.
If someone have any idea please share
tried this out yesterday, changed some settings. Likely ones i shouldn't have.
Now the app crashes at load.
If this happens, just clear the "data". Not sure if simply clearing the cash does the same to restore usability.
Any tips on the best settings without causing crashes?
I'm using these settings. Really liking the quality with gcam
Do not try to enable auxiliary cameras
I've tried a whole bunch of camera apps and so far the stock app is the only one that seems to be able to access 60fps recording. Every camera2 probe app I've tried reports 30fps as the max reported speed the device can use which makes me think Oppo have locked out any other apps from accessing it.
Another possibility I'm wondering is if it's not actually true 60fps at all - and it's actually using frame interpolation at 30fps to create the 60fps - although it does seem more natural playing back the recordings and doesn't seem to have the slightly "unreal" look that interpolation usually gives.
There also seems to be no way to select any other camera besides one of the main cameras on the back and the selfie camera on the front when using 3rd party apps.
It just seems a bit of a f-you to have them tout the camera setup as a main selling point of the device while at the same time locking out other apps from using basic recording features like 60fps and making no mention of it. 3rd party apps also exist to provide additional tweaks and features that the stock one lacks and I was disappointed to find Filmic Pro and Open Camera can't access 60fps and has trouble with the shutter speed to stop the zebra stripes/banding in some lighting scenarios.
Have you tried porting Google camera? I just downloaded a modded port and can record at 4k 60fps. Looks Pretty good also.

Hey any chance of a link to the one you are using?
I have tried a few different apks and the only one that would actually install (or open) is the Camera PX v.8.1.008.341125824.
It suffers from zebra striping indoors and outdoors, pressing on "slo-mo" force closes the app, captures of both pics and video are fairly noisy or grainy, 4k mode force closes as soon as I switch the option and it doesn't have an option I can see to choose framerate.
Definitely would like to try a fully working one.

I used this one, although a bit of searching around and I found a couple of others I will try as well.

Here you can enable bottons for the different lenses. Be aware to use the alternative fix as the app crashes otherwise.
I didn't figure out how to use the stream configs though
