A better camera please... - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hello everybody,
I have my Nokia 8 for not too long and I like it a lot, but I realize that the camera is not great. Would you have a better one?
Thank you very much.

How to save photos and videos on the SD card?

I don't know how to use SD Card to record videos or take photos but i don't recommend you to use SD Card to take photos because SD Card Read/Write speeds are lower than UFS 2.1's Read/Write speeds. You can use it to backup your big sized files. Finally, i'm gonna tell you some settings in Arnova's Camera App to take photos well. I pointed settings you need to change in the screenshots

I found the nexus6p setting decreased image quality for me. I mainly fiddled to get low light quality after that's my main gripe with the camera.
I personally can't believe how much the app improves the camera, I found the camera incredibly disappointing with the stock app!

The Note 4 automatically saves photos and videos that you take in the
exernal sd card if the phone detects that you have an external sdcard .
When you first start the camera app you will see a popup telling you that
the camera detected the external sdcard and will make it the default for
saving your pictures/videos.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Oh okay..that's what I wanted to prevent, but it looks like there is no work around. I just wanted everything to go to SD card. Looks like it's a hardware limitation not software. Thanks!

Lightroom hdr cam trums gcam!

Just tried out the built in cam in lightroom for diffrent scenarios. It really bests both the built in cam and the gcam for both normal and hdr scenarios. Try adobe lightrooms cam out with HDR enabled. Skip the gcam hype.

Samples or examples please
https://s.amsu.ng/zuCGxIISsxVN
Just one example zoomed in. This was at night. Much more dnr dynamic range with lightroom cam.
Even more pronounced in daylight though. But test it for yourelf. The image file is 40mb un edited. Any serious photographer on any phone should use the lightroom cam from now on.

Some proof lightroom camera totally BLOWS google camera away
https://s.amsu.ng/0NNCM4jQVwxN
https://s.amsu.ng/zo7Lsb2sTsIN
These are max zoom ins. And not even in any hard hdr scenario. In a scenario where hdr is needed the lightroom camera is even more overpowered.
Looks impressive. Cheers.

App link?
Just go into playstore and search for and download
"Adobe lightroom".
Now there would be nice to compair the pixel2 and the note8 with both cams using lightroom hdr camera to really se what phone takes the best pics.

No. Does it require root? Wher can one get it? Id like to compaire it.
- i just tried it! Amazing! BUT SLOW. alot slower than lightroom. Tomorrow i will compair it with lightroom for quality. Sad the final hdr picture from open camera isnt in RAW format. I will post back on details of quality in 24 hrs.

Yeah but no raw format for the hdr image using hdr function. Lightroom does hdr out of raw files whereas im thinking lr cam is better. But ofc we need to test.
I just tested lowlight.
1. Lightroom preserves more detail and more dnr
2. Opencamera hdr is more compressed ie less detail but less noise. (You could still do manual nrd on lr)
3. No majour differences but a minor plus for the LR cam. LR cam is also quicker.
summary. Lightroom is best. Its quick and gives a bit better quality due to rawfiles in its hdr compaired to opencamera.
Example. Lr on the right. Quite alot more detail zoomed in very much. Opencamera gets very muddy and there is no way you can see each tile on the house.

What about the portrait mode in Lightroom, most of the people use GCam only for its exceptional portrait mode option!

This is probably the best balanced GCam out there. Photos come out very detailed and sharp. Colours aren't overexposed. Needs very little tweak to get it work as you like. And most of all, the buffer fix is just awesome. Not only does it take better balanced photos than almost all of the GCams I've ever tried, it also fixes the ViewFinder lag. This is literally the go-to GCam for all users.
Though, the Night Sight and Photo Booth doesn't work. That's just the only two things to watch out for. Other than that, it's literally the best GCam for Realme 6 for now. 5/5

I don't have any black bar on the left side of the photo. Tested by taking pictures in the same spot using 3 different camera apps.
I can't open video mode . Is there someway to fix it?

Great Camera app btw but For me, the after applying the config the clicking on the other cameras is crashing the app is there any way to fix this?

Question 64 MP RAW photo possible?

I am interested in this phone. I know it can take 64 MP JPGs with the stock camera app and also some GCam ports. But what about 64 MP RAW photos, can they be taken either in stock camera app or GCam? And if so, can anybody share some samples?

Please do, that would be much appreciated. Outdoors in daylight with some vegetation would be the most interesting, but anything will do.
I presume GCam then can only do JPGs, but not DNG in 64 MP?
Weather sucks atm so I did not go out and it is pretty dark in right now. If it is not getting better today, I'll try to take the pictures inside with a lot of light

Thanks a lot. I would say noise looks surprisingly good here. Huawei P40 Pro seems much noisier after you transform RYYB to RGGB, and that is with much larger individual pixels. And the ZF8 has OIS, so exposure longer than 1/50 s with lower ISO should still be possible for static scenes...
Yes, it was okay for handheld, although I thought it went up at above iso 400.
For a handheld camera it was very good and it looked very natural

Question Gcam with Vivo X70 pro plus.

Hey, guys. Take a look on my pictures made with Gcam
Do you believe stock is able to make the same?
Still little bit overharped. Upscale also is not necessarily.
With which GCam port these photos are taken?

I don't think they are oversharpened because sharpness was set by default. They are taken with AGC 8.4.300. And upscaling indeed improves clarity and detail a little bit.

Upscale does not improve picture quality. It just let's you zoom further.
Only thing you get is too big images and file size.

No configs, just use presets Ka night and Ka day. But don't use Vivo config, it's blurred. And don't forget to choose Sabre merge and enable upscaling

This is only your opinion. Others maybe have different opinions.
Look at this beautiful portrait
By the way, it was made under room lighting (I use my own config for portraits). The stock camera in such conditions nervously smokes aside I am personally very pleased with gcam. And I don't understand why Vivo programmers get paid.

Thanks a lot! Am using 9.5fix and holy moly there so many options. I'm a little overwhelmed but I guess it's gonna take me sometime to get used to. Thanks for posting tho, I believe gcam has the capability of pushing the sensors to their limits to take the best pics. Do you have any recommendations configs tho? You did mention you only use the presets but am getting slightly blurred images, gonna have to experiment a bit...

If you want a sharper pics you can play with sharpness and sabre. And don't forget to enable upscaling to 1.6x-2x. It increases the file size but detail a bit too.
Hey, guys. To finalize this topic, I would like to share with you my last pics. It's for those who like a bit sharper
Conclusion - with a proper gcam and config our camera is still damn good!
