Possible to tweak camera saturation setting? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

I’d like more saturation on p30 photo’s, to have them social media ready. Is this possible without processing each file manually in another app?

You can try this setting (see attachment).

[Q] External Camera apps supporting manual ISO for Z1? (Many not working)

I do like the Z1 a lot, including the camera but in manual mode I find it a bit cumbersome to go into the menu to set ISO values and all so I was looking for custom camera apps which allow me to access this more directly, only to find out they don't work (properly) on the Z1.
So far I tried:
Lenovo Super Camera: Allows you to set the iso, but simply ignores the value set
Camera FV-5: Same as above
Focal: Can't find an option to set ISO
ProCapture: No manual ISO control (Will be in a next release, but device miight not be supported)
Pudding Camera; No manual ISO control
Camera360: "Your device does not support this" message
Camera ZoomFX: No manual ISO control
So I'm afraid it will be impossible for third party apps to control the ISO values. Which wouldn't be too bad if I could access the setting more directly in the native camera app.
Anyone with tips or tricks for this?

I'd like too, but Sony locks APIs to set ISO without the stock app
It's incredible but true

Disable Automatic or Positive Camera Exposure System-wide?

I'm convinced that camera performance in all cases can be nice and smooth if I disable or lower exposure. I'm aware I can use different camera apps and change the setting from there, but this has no effect on anything else that uses the camera (Pokemon GO, barcode scanners, etc).
Is there some kind of kernel option or build.prop setting, or anything of the sort that can be changed to get rid of exposure, or maybe all camera post-processing entirely?
Not without completely rewriting the camera's firmware or drivers, which are at a lower level than the kernel.

Camera Apps Can Tune Sharpening, Noise Reduction?

I'm considering buying the Nokia 8 but would first prefer to know whether or not the phone allows third party camera apps like Camera FV-5 or Snap Camera HDR to tune sharpening and noise reduction, or altogether switch these off.
Any Nokia 8 owners who have tried this and can tell if this works or not?
You can use any camera app you like
Thanks. I am sure that is true.
My question is specific. If I install a camera app that allows tuning post processing (sharpening and noise reduction), will this work on the Nokia 8?
Not all phone makers expose these controls in the camera APIs.
For example, Samsung's Galaxy phones equipped with Exynos chips does not permit tuning post processing while their SnapDragon models do this.

I have both Camera FV-5 and Manual Camera so I could check if such options are there if you tell me where to look as I don't recall seeing something like that in their preferences (I had Nexus 6P previously).
Thanks. I'll check when I reach home in a few hours.

You can check in Camera FV-5. See my screenshots where to find sharpening. If you take a photo first before adjusting and then after with sharpening set to minimum: will you see difference in quality, when zooming in to 100% ?

Well, it is by default set to 0 here (all sliders in this window are) so I would have to manually change it to higher value in order to do any comparison.
Okay, thanks. So probably doesn't work then. I guess I need to consider other phones. ?
On my current phone (Asus PFS) it's set to almost zero but adjusting it has no effect on picture quality.
Ok, when I tried to move that slider it turned out it is impossible. So that fully answers your question
Just find an app that takes RAW images and use that. Then adjust said parameters to your heart’s content
I'd rather buy another phone that supports this.
If you have Camera2 API enabled in your phone, try Snap Camera - you can tune everything here. Just enable Camera2 API in the settings, then the noise is preserved. Adjustable sharpness, saturation etc... The only option missing here for me is long exposure mode. On my Redmi 4X it allows only 1" shutter time max (still I can get nice night pictures on ISO 250 with this interval).
Also, you can try FreeDCam and disable Wavelet Denoise in the settings to turn off noise reduction.
Finally, Google Camera port is really great camera app for daily usage, especially for HDR pictures - it uses Camera2 API by default and produces amazing shots with all details (subtle noise) preserved. Unfortunately, you can't adjust any of parameters like sharpness or saturation.
All those apps are tested on my Xiaomi Redmi 4x but it will hopefully work for you if your phone supports Camera2 API.
So you tested on a Xiaomi Redmi 4x but haven't tested on a Nokia 8?
Those features are very much dependant on whether or not the phone supports them. And no way of knowing without buying the phone and testing and then finding out the good or bad news.
So far the hints from previous posters above is that the Nokia 8 does NOT support full control over post processing.

Question B+W PHOTOS

How do I take B+W photos but not with the filters ?
Just use a photo editor and reduce saturation to zero.
Also there are many camera apps on the store that take B&W photos so you can preview before taking the shot

Not possible as it is limited by hardware. The sensors on the s21 ultra has a physical color filter array on them which helps them to capture RGB spectrum.
So unless you are talented enough to remove this RGB filter and replace it with a monochrome filter, you will have to use software simulation to enjoy b&w photos.
When it records the image it records the gray scale for each channel, the b&w image is already there. Simply edit/save with saturation at zero.
That's how I set up the proper contrast and black level, then bring up the saturation when editing sometimes.
Or shoot in RAW mode and post edit that image as you have all the raw sensor data. I doubt you'll see much if any difference...
This isn't rocket science.

Question Camera Settings

Hi,
Does anyone know what the different 'picture quality' settings in the camera app mean? There are 3 settings, low, standard and high. What do these actually do, and is there one that you prefer? A separate setting exists that says Enhance Image Quality. Isn't that kind of redundant, and should this be kept on?
In a lot of youtube video reviews for this phone, they compare the photo quality of the phone, and then they say something like, after 4-1 binning, the photo looks much better. If this is the case, what settings do I need to set on the phone to get the '4-1 binned' quality?
Cheers!
Picture quality is so obvious, I do not have numbers but it is about resolution and number of pixels. Try to take the same photo with different quality then try to zoom in photo to understand.
enhanced image quality is a nice feature that I have turned off, I like raw images than enhanced and I hate that sometimes it goes to night mode while I want to take low light photos , but it definitely is a great feature.
Not sure what is 4-1 binning and never heard of it.
My settings are the following:
HDR AUTO
AI OFF
9:16
Under camera settings:
Mode section: motion capture on, the rest are off. High quality picture.
Under preserve settings, beautify off**** was passing me off before update.
That is more than enough for me for images.
Hope it helps
