P20 Pro Number of Cameras Reported to 3rd Party Apps - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi All
I've been playing with Open Camera this morning and went into Settings/About. OC reports there are 2 cameras on the phone and lists the 40MP rear sensor and the selfie camera.
I thought this might be an OC issue, but then I downloaded a couple of Camera2 probe apps and they all report the same.
It would be nice to be able to select the 20MP mono camera or the 8 MP telephoto camera.
Has anyone come across the same issue?
Cheers
Steve

P20 pro raw photos not working on third party apps

Dear all,
I noticed that I cannot use any third party app to capture RAW photos. I tried Footej Camera, Open Camera, Adobe Lightroom, VSCO, Lumio Cam and everything I could find. I cannot enable raw photos with any of them. Footej support contacted me and told me that they can try to find a workaround from the log file I generated, it seems that this phone does not support Android API. Do you guys have any knowledge about this?
The only app that seems to record some sort of RAW file is Bacon Cam, but this does not have support for the telephoto lens, and all the raw photos with zoom, are actually cropped from the 40 mpx sensor.
Freedcam can do raw: https://t.me/joinchat/BdeA6xCXJ-DvG0wT_kjW-A
Even the stock camera app will not give you a raw file from the telephoto lens. You can't use zoom when you enable RAW in Pro mode.
Thank you, I tried Freed am and unfortunately it does not let me use raw mode, only jpeg.

for those who have filmic pro

1: Does s10 supports log v2 ?
2: How about autofocus, is it working correctly ?
3: Is it posible to use all three lenses ?
4: Does it have droped frames in extreeme quality ?
Thank you.
My first testing is horrible, tried all qualities:
4k 60fps (not working fine) -> 58.62fps, 58,26fps (the same even quality low)
4k 30fps (fine)
1080p 240fps (not working fine)-> 231,88fps, 228,77fps, 230,51fps
1080p 120fps (not working fine)-> 118 fps
Edit: You can shoot video in HDR+ which results in a flat profile, that can be graded in Premiere very heavily. First it looks completely overexposed, as soon as I check HDR in the lumetri effect in Premiere and bring the kurves down all highlights start coming back. Don't know what log v2 is...
None of the formerly awesome video/editing apps work correctly on the S10+ so far. Very irritating
Then at least there is hope it can be fixed on the Software Side later on... I hope next update will fix things. Of which Video Editing Apps are you talking? My first Samsung.
And back to your question, found this: reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/b4x57d/samsung_s10_zhiyun_smooth_4_filmic_pro_log/
I got the S10 plus Exynos and I get an ugly frame drop with Filmic Pro. Don't know what to do anymore.
Tele lens is not working..
Wide angle front and back is working pretty good
So now that it is 2020, have things gotten any better with Filmic and the S10+ ? thx.
Currently app supports 4K 24p Wide, and ultra Wide on S10+ Exynos, and 1080p on front camera. Video recording from front is wider than on stock cam. I'm noticing though issues with the sound - it's not working on internal mic, only at external but not always.

48mpx camera doesn't work after messing with gcam

Hi guys! I tried some Gcam ports and after installing a conf file in the xcam6_beta5 app, my 48mpx camera just stopped working even in the stock app. Other Gcam apps can use it but it just magnifies the image and produces zero-quality pictures. What is more, when I open the stock app and go to the 48mp option, it uses the telephoto lens and captures a 6000x8000 resolution picture. I can't imagine how possible is this. Can anyone suggest some solution? FYI, the other two lenses work fine.
Edit: Just found out that standard portrait mode uses 48mpx camera but magnified like 3 times in the stock app.

Any way to manually switch to telephoto lens for video?

I want to use the telephoto because it offers better bokeh than the main but I haven't found a way. Tried gcam but switching the video from main to telephoto crashes the app.
It's been said the main cam can switch to the telephoto if the lighting's good but that's too unreliable.
Anyone know a workaround?
Thanks!

Question Cameras Missing in all applications except stock camera app - camera2-api

Hey guys I'm trying to use the mi 11 ultra as a webcam with the droidcam obs / iriun webcam app and am missing all of the cameras besides the front and the main camera.
Open camera also does not show the additional lenses. Camera2-api probe only shows front and back (main) cameras.
Is there a way to enable the other lenses? Iam heavily dependent on the ultra wide lens for video calls and streaming...
Thanks!!
( Running latest Europe firmware 12.0.6)
