Morning all,
Essentially my k20 pro won't let me shoot in Filmic Pro outside with 1/48 shutter speed without completely filling the shot with blinding light so that nothing can be seen. Does anyone know why this might be happening? It doesn't matter which combination of settings I use, if the shutter is 1/48 it's completely overexposed.
This is the standard setting for cinematic footage and this is 'the' app for obtaining it. It seems ridiculous that the default settings in this situation would deliberately lead to such an issue. Any thoughts?

Hi
I bought a new p20 pro recently and noticed that, when I record footage, the picture goes dim and dark when i pan or move the scene (even slightly) and the bright, and then dark again. That means that when I play back the footage, the brightness level constantly shifts and changes, making it highly annoying and at times the picture is dim enough that its a struggle to see anything (yes even in broad daylight).
Is there a way to turn this dynamic brightness shifting off or is this a faulty phone?

Hi, did you ever get a reply elsewhere or found the solution somewhere?
My wife's P20 Pro has the same issue. We always accepted the way it is, but only know i thought of finding a solution to it...
Hence curious if you managed to fix it?
Hi All,
I recently purchased my Huawei P20 Pro phone expecting the photos to be amazing. The main reason I bought the phone was because of reviews stating how great the camera was indoors, and I have 2 children that I want to photo inside.
Sadly I am noticing the following issues:
- Skin tone of people shot using both the front and back camera are automatically smoothed and beautified, sometimes to the extent that they can look like wax works/ heavily made-up. It looks unnatural. I heard this could be issue on the front camera but was not expecting it on the back camera. This issue remains even when I turn down the beautification setting to zero.
- Indoor photo quality on the front camera for photos and videos is not great. Photos are grainy and full of artefacts in addition to the issue mentioned above about beautification. In fact I have shot comparatives with my iPhone 7 and there is little difference in quality.
- The camera can have a several second delay between pressing the "take" button and then snapping the photo. There is a particularly long lag when pressing using 40 MP and RAW settings.
The outdoor photos are largely taking fine though I am still seeing beautification of faces.
I hope this is something I can fix with the settings or a camera software update. So far it seems to me that my issue relates to one of the following:
- The settings I am using are not optimal. Perhaps I need to turn off AI. Could this be the case?
- The software on the camera is outdated. How can I check and update this?
- The phone I have is faulty.
- I have drastically overestimated how good the quality of this phone is. I hope this is not the case!
Please help me fix the issue as I don't want to return the phone...
I don't claim to have used the camera a lot. However, I did find this video which covers all the camera functions in detail. I keep it in its own playlist so I can easily refer to it.
Sent from my HUAWEI CLT-L09 using XDA Labs
I had the same problems with the Mate 10 Pro, no matter if shooting in Auto, Pro or Portrait. Horrible quality indoor, terrible skin tone. Pictures looked like oil paint
have you tried using the flash? photography is about light without light it will push up the iso and i wont use my rx100 past 1600-3200 so i would think these smartphones top out at what 400-800 maximum before they get grainy and noise reduction smears details etc
Oh I have seen so much worse when it comes to smoothening out details than P20 Pro. Galaxy S9 for example. P20 Pro gives me good details even in low light, best I've ever used.
im used to take photos indoors (mostly of my little nephews), i dont have problems with exposure or soft skin on the rear camera(i disabled the AI mode ) , on the other hand in the front facing camera you need to disable the beauty mode, disable it and set it to 0, Its normal to have a little delay in 40 MP RAW since well its a big 40MP picture. what firmware is on your device?
With my previous phones (S7 and S9+), I found video stabilisation did more harm than good. With the S21 Ultra, it actually does a very good job stabilising video when moving.
However, I've disabled video stabilisation by default even on the S21 Ultra now. I rarely record video while moving, so there isn't much benefit in my context, and there can actually be a lot of "harm". One example of this is when recording video with the 10x zoom lens - I've noticed significant "wobble" effect when switching to this lens. It's hard to describe, but it's as if the whole picture/video is "wobbling" and distorting when using this lens. This only occurs when video stabilisation is enabled and only with the 10x Zoom lens (I think I may have noticed it on the 3x Zoom lens a few months ago too). When disabled, this issue goes away.
Can anyone else reproduce this? You may need to test in different lighting conditions - I find it's most noticeable with outdoor lighting. A separate issue is what I would describe as "micro-jitters" appearing when video stabilisation is enabled.
Same here, I don't recall having this issue when first purchased.
This was always present for me. And I always thought it is normal...
I have already updated the phone with the latest system update and it's currently on MIUI 12 Global 12.0.8.
With EIS enabled, it is very grainy, but improves a little with EIS disabled. In normal daylight, video recordings seems fine, but in a room lit with warm toned lighting conditions (~3000k), videos are grainy.
I have compared it to Alcatel 1S (2020), Honor 10 Lite, moto e6 plus and even Xiaomi's own Redmi 9, the video recordings are much much cleaner.
Does anyone know what the issue here is?
You'd have thought the Note 9 would beat all the above?
I have also done a factory reset (which incidentally removes some apps such as AliExpress, some Google related apps amd the Games drawer? Anyone know why?
Is there any GCAM port that is able to record 8k (30fps or 60fps) without crashing instanteniously?
The camera sensor is clearly able to record 8k (beeing 108mp).
Also , what is THE best gcam port available for the redmi note 10 pro?
The sensor (and the phone) is able to take 108 MPix photos. Taking 30 of them per every second is another thing entirely.
I mean you can't even record 4k/60.
You CAN record 4k/60fps with a gcam mod.
You do? In which one and with what config?
The best I've seen so far was that you could seemingly turn on 4k/60 and it wouldn't crash immediately upon recording, but it also wasn't really 60fps, it was still 30fps, just the menu settings claimed it's 60.
Any true 60fps recording I've seen crashes instantly on pressing record.
Definitely not possible.

Wierd , yeah it crashes , i just assumed 4k60 worked because a gcam port had it but i never tried it. That's unfortunate....
My old redmi note 4x could record 4k60fps easily (and trust me , it was truely 4k60fps not just 4k30 and the camapp reporting it was 4k60)
