Hello everyone,
new to the forum. A question brings me here
I bought a Huawei P20 Pro a few days ago, I am all set up and I really like it! However, bearing in mind the camera was the main reason I purchased this phone I am having troubles. A few photos I have taken seem to be really focused in some areas but a tad blurry in others. I have looked in the settings and I have also noticed "master AI" is not there, not just turned off as per updates I have read about but not there at all in the settings!
I am on the latest update available in the UK, can anybody advise please?
Kind regards
first, open the camera app and make sure the "photo" mode is selected. then, click the setting icon on the top right. Setting menu will comes up and under "Capture Settings" you will see a switch to turn on/off the Master AI. Apart from that, there is no other Master AI settings. And you won't see the Master AI switch if you're in different mode such as "Video" or "Portraits"
Thank you, I actually reappeared after a hard reset of my phone.
Couple of questions, any tips on a very novice photographer? Basically best settings for general point and click with minimal settings changing?
Secondly, the plastic/tempered glass lens covers you can get to protect the camera lens. Are they needed? I gather the camera lens is built well for anti-scratch? Also I assume these lens covers would likely ruin the actual photo even if protecting the glass?

Hi
Been searching for a way to disable the auto exposure feature when the camera is used in dark scenes. Any registry mod to turn this off?
Sorry if it's been posted before, but I've searched this forum for shutter, exposure etc and have not found any reference to it.
I know the Diamond camera quality is terrible, but would be nice to trade blur pictures with dark but sharp pictures.
Actually diamond camera isn't terrible. It's just bad when doing photos in the dark, like every camera without flash.
it would be worthwhile to have a fixed focus as an option...similar to the landscape modes in digital cams where u just point n click without focusing
of course, the focusing works great in the diamond...but sometimes u might want to take a pic very quickly without waiting for the focus to kick in
also in situations where u want the background and foreground to be equally focused
not sure if there's any reg tweak for this
Is there a tweak for quicker exposure? Everytime i try to take a pic of my baby its always blurred or she's looking the other way by the time its taken the pic!

Do as i do, remove the sound of the shutter, take the picture and only say after
"Get ready ... 1...2...3! ok"
"ah.. but i wasnt ready..!?"
"Its good believe me "
IN advanced config you can set shutter to 0 seconds?
maybe this will help

anyone working on a fixed focus??
someone try this please!
Better Quality
Hi, To improve the quality on my phone i removed the back cover and popped the plastic cover on the back case. Wooow the quality is fantastic after that.
Only downsize is you have to be careful in cleaning the lens. A bit of a clean from your shirt or top does the trick
A common method of manually changing the point of focus is to tap the screen in the area in which focus is desired. How can I somebody a focus point in the default camera app?
I cannot find an option to enable this function, and by default, tapping the screen takes a picture. As one cannot be expected to use manual mode to focus every picture, there must be a setting or ability I am overlooking.
Thanks for any help provided!

Have you tried the press and hold the screen? I think it locks the auto focus on the feature in the scene.

Hmm, that does lock the focus on an area, but my issue is that the image--or the desired portion of an iimage-- does not properly come into focus to begin with. On previous phones, I've been able to tap an area of the screen in order to make the phone focus on that particular area.
The issue with images not coming into focus correctly especially effects the zoom camera. When using manual focus, I have no problem focusing images properly. It is quite frustrating to have to manually focus every photo I take with that lens.
Any other ideas? Have you experienced the focus issue I'm describing?
Edit: I've noticed that tap-to-focus does work as expected in video mode, but in photo mode, of course, it activates the shutter. Hopefully a future update will add a setting to disable this functionality. Until then, I may just have to rely on the--somewhat cumbersome--manual focus.
Actually, scratch that. I think the focus lock actually accomplishes what I'm looking for! I've noticed that in a addition to locking the focus on an area, if the area isn't currently focused, it will actually bring it into focus as well.
Thank you very much for the help!

No prob glad you figured it out.
Dial *#*#1597#*#* on the dialer this will open the camera app. Switch to video mode, Click on the red letter on the right top Lens: Back (Dual)(0) double click on that until you get the Lens: Back (Wide)(3) . Recording works fine from there, but need to do the same every time you need the wide angle.
Thanks!! It works! You rock man!
This is actually super good alternative until Oneplus let us do it by default. Thank you.
The wide lens can only record at 1080p?
The quality in lower light is worse than default video, obviously. But great to have! Someone needs to make a shortcut or something that jumps straight into this, until OnePlus gives us the ability.
Looks like you can just double tap anywhere to switch which camera is used. Seems like this is debug mode for the Camera app. I wonder if this has been includes since 9.5.0 or recently added. Indicating OnePlus indeed started working on this feature.
Hi
can you help.
Since upgrading the depth in colour on the camera is very poor.
I sell vacuum cleaners mainly online and used to love how the pictures came out. Now they look very weak in colour with no depth.
I won't lie. When i first got the camera I can't remember if i made any settings changes but I have been playing around with it and can't seem to re-create it.
One thing I used to touch the screen to focus on a point and the picture used to darken slightly which looked good. Also it was a circle. Now it's a square and the picture goes lighter which I hate.
Can you guys help..?
I did try to roll back to EMU 9 through hi suite but it won't give me the option. I did enable HDB etc but it still does not give me the option. If you guys can't help with the camera settings, is there any other way to rollback..? I don't care about security etc and new features, the main use was for the pictures.
Hi,
I was wondering if you saw the option to revert to factory settings in camera when you open settings? Try doing that?
As for darkening the photo, when you touch the place you want to focus, the little sun appears on the side of the square. Try swiping up or down to lighten or darken the photo.
OK I can't figure out how to open the wide-angle camera and take a photo. The official Camera app doesn't have it anywhere that I can see. I'm sure it's right under my nose, but where?
Open the camera app, on top of photo mode you'll see 1X, tap on the left dot and it will go in 0.6X(Ultra wide lens), or pinch in with two fingers to change zoom, when you'll get at 0.6X zoom it will change the lens to the ultra wide one. Another way is trought pro mode, click lens on bottom right and choose UW(ultra wide)
Huh. Well I'll be damned. I never, ever would have figured that out in a million years.
On my Xiaomi 9 the wide angle lens was like a fisheye. This one is straight. Weird! OK thanks anyway, I appreciate that.
Another dumb question: how do I access the "telemacro" camera and what does it do?
In fact, is there some tutorial somewhere that walks you through all of the camera's features and how to use them? I'm looking at https://www.mi.com/global/mi-11/ and it's mentioning tons of features that I didn't even know were there. One-Click AI Cinema? Ultra Night Video? Night mode?
