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.

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
I found a fix on a youtube channel for portrait mode for front camera after a lot of googling. The key is to set a manual iso (idk why) while using front camera. The link to that is here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16BT6C02pgvO3usJxCe8C0u_sVi9CbMOI/view?usp=sharing
Instruction -
Enable camera2api.
Download app, instalL.
Open settings and then do the settings u like.(i use pixel 2 and pixel 2017 zsl+ ) and other obvious settings( like turning on portrait mode etc.)
After that set the MANUAL FIXED BLACK LEVEL ONSET to 63.50 and enable.
Now everytime you use the front camera you have to turn that left slider (which i think is of iso) to 100 or any other value from auto, then hdr+ and portrait mode in front camera will also work.
This is not my work , i am only sharing it.
Credits to people who made this (arnovag2 ,TCHNO VKKI youtube channel guy etc.)
This is my first post and i dont really know what to add in your posts ,(also not liking typing this much) but i thought everyone should know this fix.
Hit thanks if this helped you.(actually idk what thanks is for LOL)
Cheers!

New Google cam version 6.1 from Arnova8G2 without any bugs
Tested in ZENUI semi GSI
Stock version 338 ie latest update oreo unrooted device
Install it as a clean version ,
Do not open slowmotion disable it from settings
open camera settings and disable slowmotion at first
from the settings
slowmotion cause crash due to that some features might crash and stuck so disable slow motion at first from the settings menu ,
If you found any features not working or crashing remove gcam apps in the same version and install this as clean version
for portrait enable it from settings default is lens blur
whats working in 6gb model ,
Everything ,except slowmotion which our device lack driver level implementation
If you found green tint in front cam remove app and reinstall or try to fix with the settings

No issues, everything working perfectly for now
I'm using V8.3 build 5.1.018.177624777 without problems. Should I remove that and then install it? Also what changes are present between the version I'm using and this? The existing version is working great, and the reviews for this current build have been mixed based on the comments here. Please guide.

v 8.3.b1 is the most stable till now, albeit without night sight.
I think 4k video recording has EIS support in the app. As the video is getting cropped in when video stabilization is enabled. Can anyone verify it

Only the Viewfinder is stabilized and not the actual video. The video recording which is saved is without EIS. as our hardware doesn't support 4K video stabilization.
Why is there no burst or time-lapse photo mode?
Time-lapse workaround: The app Intervalometer hijacks the stock camera app and simulates touching the shutter buttons, so you get a programmable time-lapse in all modes, Raw, Night-mode, all the 3 cameras. Probably better than Huawei could ever make it.
As for burst mode: its there if you set the resolution to 10MP or lower, no burst mode for 40MP or with raw files.
Time lapse mode can be found on the last page of the camera options where slow motion , monochrome , moving picture is. To take pictures in burst mode you just press the camera button and it will take pictures in burst mode untill you release it.

No that's a crappy low-res time-lapse video, I'm talking about photos.
Found the burst mode though it has its limitations, that aren't mentioned (how should the user know). They only work in Photo Mode and only if you set the resolution to 10MP or less.

Go in play store, ans download Framelaps application. It is very good. You have so much options. It is taking photos and you can make 4K video, not 720p like in original camera application. Too bad for Huawei that's is not so hard to do.
Only bad thing with Framelaps you cant you Suoer Wide Angle.
Probably can't do a lot of things, like the correct colors for the new sensor. And yes, kind of want that for the ultra wide.

Yes I know but it helps more the p30 pro software camera (stupid 720p).
If you have DJI Osmo 2 you have good application for timelaps. But still no super wide-angle
Timelapse with the original camera app in high quality
Framelapse is not bad, but as mentioned, you can't use wide angle lens nor the quality of the original app. Solution:
Use "intervalometer"! This app is working together with any other camera app. It works as an overlay, means, it's running background and given impulse to the camera button with any desired interval while using the camera settings in the original camera app. You can not only use any interval with any resolution (40mp too) but choose a delay when shooting from day to night. The app costs here in Germany 1,89 €.
Grab a copy of Intervalometer from the Google Play store, then you can shoot your own timelapses with whatever camera application you want. That's what i do and it works great!
/ Magnus
With just one camera and no chance to select the other two, probably wrong colors and no raw files support, useless.
EDIT: Oh wait, this thing is actually useful, its no camera app instead it hijacks what ever is on the screen and simulates a touch in the timed intervall.
So it remote controls the manufactures app with whatever is set there.
Nice. Sorry I dismissed it so fast, I was just expecting another dumb comment but this is really useful.
Exactly, it is one of the best applications i have found on the Google Play store and for this purpose it's fantastic! you can shoot RAW timelapse sequences if you want to, the possibilities are infinite since it's not relying on it's own camera but let's you use any camera application you want. It's worth paying for it since it does such a great job with timelapse photography.
/ Magnus
Ok, the best timelaps is INTERVALOMETAR.
You can use every mode, normal, super wide angle, HDR, Night mode, zoom and etc...
Ive tried multiple GCAM port from, BSG, Shamim, LMC, Arnova etc... Some of them crashed instantly, some of them made it up to video mode and seemed to work just fine with the video mode. But couldn't sustain in photo mode.
Only working version i found is quite old BSG 8.1 but that also seemed pretty laggy, is there anyone who uses gcam for this specific model!
Video moder working model: SGCAM 8.4 V43
I will truly be grateful to you for your assist.
Install AGC8.4.300_V9.5.apk .. now long tap on cam icon (the yellow one) .. then open settings .. and copy these settings as you see
Disable the settings as I show them to have very smooth viewfinder
I prefer not to use the automatic AWB, with the settings I wrote to you, you should be able to take excellent photos both with the automatic AWB (coldest photos) and without the automatic AWB (photos with more natural colors)
Only the main camera works, the night mode does not work, the videos also work at 4k 60fps (also in slowmo)

you should try it yourself, it depends on the situations, I find a more accurate and natural hdr in backlit situations that are not easy
I find more marked details (sharpness)
if set as I wrote, I don't experience lag, crash or anything else
