Maybe it's already been discussed, but video stabilization seems to work only in MIUI Camera app which lacks video-centric features and has poor audio compression [fixable via root].
Wish Xiaomi let 3rd party apps utilize this feature for I don't see any reason not to.

Is the camera that is frequently referred to as being broken by unlocking the bootloader specifically the cybershot app with it's overdone sharpening postprocessing ??
Or will there also be differences in the shots captured by 3rd party camera apps like "Camera ZOOM fx" which take much nicer pictures without forced postprocessing?
Good question. Maybe someone who has unlocked their bootloader can try a third party camera and see if it's any better.
So one of the reasons I bought K20 was for its awesome video capabilities.
To my utter dissapointment, EIS works ONLY in stock video app. No other 2nd party app like Filmic Pro or 24pfs which I intended to use for video recording can use EIS. The huge problem is, that even on a gimbal I've got a ton of tears and stutter whithout EIS. If I use stock app with EIS + Gimbal = I've got usable footage. Otherwise - noup. As soon as you get a lot of motion in the frame - frame tears and stutter, discontinuity.
So I found that sort of solution (cannot post a link as a frsh member) - the idea is to edit with BuildProp after rooting your phone and add those lines:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.eis.enabled=1
But noup it didnt work. I have custom rom - miui.eu and a rooted phone. I've added suggested lines, no reslut.
Does anyone have an idea on how it would be possible to activate the damn EIS for every other app besides stock?
Hi bustedcombusted, i was thinking about buying either the k20 or the k20pro to replace my old oneplus one, i thought EIS was acessible by 3rd party apps, thats a big no go for me, have you had any sucess with EIS and 3rd party apps?
For me video stabilization works in gcam mod. Have you tried it?

No EIS in Gcam, I think you have mistaken
try filming with the ultra wide camera 4K 30 FPS. Very good EIS
@tntgdh which version of gcam do you used? It works properly at any modes?

So we are hearing anecdotal evidence that the front camera has the classic softening, and this is causing video calls to look awful. Your picture will have no detail.
Anyone is able to test and post some screenshots?

I've had the phone since yesterday and the issue with front cam is limited to video calls and not photos or videos taken by the camera app or even 3rd party apps. I took photo using Camera app with front camera and compared to my Note 10 Plus and they are comparable (Note is slightly better):

I suspect the videocall issue has something to do with Sony not enabling some standard API that apps can use to access full camera features so they default to basic camera quality. I hope they fix in software updates! This is the only issue I found about the phone otherwise pretty solid flagship and I'm so glad I'm out of Samsung world.
My video chats with Facebook Messenger look nice sharp, according to the other party and from what I can see.
Apparently devs managed to enable an experimental feature of the imx 586 on the Asus ZenFone 6. It's called quad hdr and it enables variable pixel exposure on third party apps and also on video, allowing for better highlights exposure, but not a fake hdr feature, a real even exposure across all image even on Instagram, chat apps etc. This is achieved through a vendor hack and is being discussed on the k20/k20 pro photography group. Unfortunately there seems to be little help for the devs there so I was hoping if someone knowledgeable could help get this feature to our device.
Hi, I know there is already a similar thread,
but I wanted to know, if someone has actually run all three rear lenses in 3rd party camera app?
I know there are some ways to enable it (like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-enable-aux-camera-for-third-party-camera-apps.3846325/), but I suppose it would differ from phone to phone.
I don't own the X3 Pro yet, but I think I might soon
Thanks, Filip
I'm using the Greatness GCam mod. You can enable there the buttons for different lenses.
Be aware to use the alternative fix as otherwise the app crashes.
I didn't figure out how to set the 'stream configs' for the lenses
