Video recording (which can be ruined if you don't turn off CAF) can also be ruined by OIS - especially if you are panning left or right, you get a kind of choppy effect which looks awful.
Is there anyway of turning of the OIS?
I have been doing some reading and it seems the unit can be run in Manual as will as Auto mode for test purposes.
Seeing the fix for the front camera being rotated (after Hal3 setting) using an xml file,
I wondered if there was a similar setting in an xml file that could be flashed to set OIS to manual?
I await your learned answers.
If you are using snap camera, there is an option to disable stabilisation in the video recording settings menu. See the attached screenshot

Ok Will try
thanks.
Some of these camera apps have their own software stabilisation which you'd be turning off but I'll give it a go.
Sadly setting does not seem to be present in the version I downloaded
Hey guys!
I'm currently using nvertigo67's LAS for the 1+3T, which comes with OOS camera pre-installed.
It works extremely nice, except for one thing. It does record 1080p in 60fps, however with a variable framerate. I asked the dev. if he knew any way to change it to record at a constant 60fps, to which he said he doesn't know much about changing codec settings (post 1 & 2)
Do any of you know what I should try to do to be able to record with a constant framerate?

use a camera app where you can lock the ambient brightness like open camera. then try to lower the ambient brightness shown in the camera by holding the camera to a bright spot and press on the lock. this changes the iso so the framerate rises and by locking it it will stay on that framerate constantly. ofc you can also use a camera app where you can choose between different iso values.
but for me oss camera has allways same framerate no matter what light conditions. your issue might be kernel related. low performance maybe. or some apps consuming cpu in the background

I have tried Open Camera, unfortunately it doesn't go above 30 fps, even when selecting 60 as the approximate frame rate.
The developer told me it's how the encoder works (please see "post 1 & 2" I have linked in my first post, he explains it there pretty well.)
OOS camera worked for me well too, while I was actually using OOS. The AOSP camera doesn't support 60fps recording either.
Dear friends,
November has been a very productive month for P2 owners with all sorts of Pie ROMs roaming around. But what everyone wants is a stable ROM with a working port of GCam 6.1 because it has got the magical "Night Sight" feature which actually does magic in low light.

Google Camera 7 may only work with Android 9 and above. Please, test yourself if you are on Android 8 and report in the thread.
Google Camera 7 for Android 10
PMGC_7.0.009_PopugVersion_V11_1
Front camera greenish photos under dim light can be corrected by doing few things:
1. Enable HDR+ enhanced from drop down menu
2. Go into advanced settings and set time for front camera "1/5s" in ISO/ Exposure Time HDR+ or ISO 100. 1/5 captures photos faster though.
3. Reduce HDR+ frames to 5-10. Whenever you want to capture night shots without flash then enable HDR+ enhanced.
Configuration file
Video Capture Issues:
GCam is bad at capturing videos with P2.
Hence, install Open Camera, select 30 fps from video setting of the app then select audio source as default or optimised for voice recognition.
Keep resolution at 1080p for capturing, otherwise app will force close.
Adjust exposure while capturing videos at will.
This solution would work on Android 10 as well and it will record audio too.
Don't forget to test capture video to understand how it works.
Note: Config files are given as attachments.
What works:
Portrait, Night Sight, Face Retouching, AR Stickers, Playground, Photobooth, Panorama, RAW image, Video capture, Photo sphere, Lens, Motion Capture, Super Res-Zoom (Full zoom with HDR+ enabled), SlowMo (ROM dependent), Lens Blur

I didn't play with it much because I couldn't get a chance to check it in clear outdoors but the attached photos might be useful.

As far as I know, RR is the only 8.1 ROM for P2 with almost zero or controllable bugs so an upgrade to RR should do the trick.

May be the camera is not focusing the object you are capturing. First touch the area you want to focus and then capture. Otherwise, restart the app. I tried a few flash photos and found that it did shoot few overexposed photos. I restarted the app and it was all good again.

Hi
I installed android pie last night and in the video settings I do not have any 4k settings or options to change the rear video camera quality,
Can anyone else with pie check and see if there are options for 60fps and UHD from the rear video camera.
FHD and 1:1 were available but no higher.
Thanks
John

Anyone figure out how to hide the camera app black bottom thing? I was able to hide it in Oreo but I can't anymore.
My camera app doesn't record video when EIS is enabled.
When I switch from photo to video the transition effect blures the live image and doesn't refresh anymore. So I can't see any movement, just a blurred still image. I can't interact with the buttons from the top anymore (so no way to get into settings). I can only switch the mode - to photo or slow motion for example.
Any idea why this is happening? It worked fine until today.
I am on stock MIUI 10.2.13 global version.
You can wipe the data of the camera app and probably will be ok
No... I factory resetted the phone... No luck.
This is bigger than I thought, so I made another thread here:

Admins, please close the comments here or delete thread, it is now redundant.
