Anyone have any settings to capture textbook from Xperia 1ii main camera?
Using main camera (24mm) capture will have this 'water effect', which other area have some blur effect.
Using wide camera (16mm) kind of eliminate the effect, but no flash available.
Using other apps doesn't help.

Hi Sho-Bud, can show some examples?
A lot people say that the big sensor will cause this "bokeh" effect.
I'm newbie in this camera thing.
Can someone show some example using 24mm main camera and snap texts.
Appreciate the help, thanks.
I tried to upload a file, but the forum says that the file is too big, can you sent a private message with your email address, so I can send it directly to you?
Sure you can send it direct to me [email protected].
Appreciate the samples, thanks a lot.
Thanks @Sho-Bud, I received your email.
And seems like your picture also having soft edges.
I think this is common for a big aperture camera sensor. (Google the whole night just to understand the camera thing ).
Below are 2 comparison for 24mm and 16mm (ultrawide) camera, notice the soft edges on 24mm.
I don't mind using the 16mm, but it has no flash light option available.

Have you tried it guys? When capturing images from front camera, the viewer shows a sharpened view. But when captured, it becomes soft even the "soft skin" feature is disabled. When you try to capture it with soft skin on, it has no difference.

I have only just purchased my Z3 Compact and am experiencing the exact same problems with the front facing camera. Is this a defect with my handset? My wifes Z2 used to do the same and we returned it for a LG G3.
I really dont want to return this phone as otherwise it seems really good but if this is a 'normal' feature of the phone i cant believe reviews didnt pick up on this and i would have to return it for a refund. Every review that i have come across seems to suggest the camera is very good but i have seen this problem highlighted on another website too.
Is there a way to turn this post processing feature off?
Any help will be kindly appreciated. Thanks
This is definitely a software bug. The outcome is the same with "Soft Skin" option enabled and disabled.
Hopefully Sony Fixes it in the upcoming updates.
I've also noticed that its only occurring in photos. When you capture video it is sharp.
same here, we all should mail sony about that issue, otherwise they will ignore that.

There is already a thread with dozen replies on Sony's forum and a lot of people mailed them (including myself).
Lollipop update has not fixed this.. How ****ing hard can it be sony? :silly:

Remember to activate camera2 API before trying the app.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=search&source=pst&noform=1&username=B-S-G
It appears bsg have release an ARM32 apk of an older version of Google Camera HDR. Should work on the G5Plus. Can't access the link to download though.
anyone able to help?
Focus doesn't seem to work
HDR+ port by defcomk
Here is something that works for me:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4UT4dU4LpjJZFZnbGJ1TXVJN2c/view?usp=sharing
Make sure CAM2 API is enabled.
If you are on stock ROM it can be done by adding this line to build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
If on a custom nougat ROM use this module: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4UT4dU4LpjJRWY1dzBBUTdHbm8
If on Oreo custom ROM, cam2 is enabled by default.
To use the camera it follow these steps:
1) Open the app, change video resolution of back camera to 4K (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
2) On the camera menu you'll notice it's not focusing, so switch to video mode by swiping left on the screen.
3) In video mode tap on the subject you are shooting to focus on it. ( May need to be tapped more than once, Zooming in with two swipe finger gesture helps to get perfect focus)
4) After you are happy with the focus switch to photo mode by swiping right, this will maintain the focus that was set in video mode, if not repeat step 3.
5) Do NOT press shutter yet. Lock AE/AF before taking shot by long pressing on the finger to form a circle on the screen. (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
6) After you have long pressed, take the photo. A circle will be shown which takes 30 shots in one second.
7) Shutter will be grayed out until the photo is processed which happens in the background, you can check progress by taping the thumbnail.
8) You can take as many shots you like with the present focus lock, also repeat the from step 3 for changing focus.
That's it

Works for me after enabling camera2. Is there anyway to rename the app so I can also have a normal Google camera?

You need a 4pda account to download from their forums, the 404 error only happens when you are not logged in.

I created a 4dpa account by using this guide to solve the captcha and I managed to install the apk. I found out it wasn't working as well as defcomk's port cause it couldn't auto-focus lock the image. The only new thing I saw was it supported raw image capture
If any of you, for some reason want to create an account and try it for yourself, follow this guide to solve the captcha: https://doorsgeek.blogspot.com/2015/08/4pdaru-loginregister-captcha-tutorial.html

WOW!! I thought the Google camera HDR+ was all hype. I had HDR+ on my Nexus 5 but apparently that was the old version not using the new API. I thought that took pretty good pictures but this new one on this phone is incredible. Every single thing I tried, every camera mod I could find, on any ROM other than stock, every picture looked over softened and blurry, or super grainy and still kind of blurry. Now it looks better than stock, impressively so. The color balance, focus, and sharpness is top notch. Amazing what a change in software can do to a piece of hardware.
A quick tip for people, the camera opens up with the focus set at infinite so if you take a picture of something 5ft+ away, there's no need to swipe to the video to focus. Just open the camera, long press to hold focus, and snap the picture. The camera also works in 16:9 if that's your thing.
Edit: open camera is finicky for videos, giving me reboots. Use Footej camera for quick non HD photos and videos.
Edit2: After messing around with it a bit more, it's not the just HDR+ that makes the pictures so much better, it's the new camera API. Install and use it with any camera app supporting camera2 API and the photos are much better all around.
Thanks a ton for posting this, both you, and OP.

Hey,
feeling pretty dumb right now but how the hell am I supposed to switch between the two cameras on the back?
I can switch between front and back camera but how do I switch between wide-angle and normal angle?
?
When you open the camera app, you should see a little "1,0x". Press ist and the camera will change.
Nope, I tried by blocking one camera with a paper and if I press the button it still displays. It seems that will just software zoom.
I managed to find out that only Bokeh mode uses the lower camera.
Tried it in "normal mode" in the nokia camera app. The tele camera is active when zoom 2x is choosen. Blocked top and lower tele camera to confirm. Do you use an alternative camera software?

The app info is not very informative. I guess it is HMD camera app.
At least the icon and UI looks like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evenwell.camera2

Yes this looks like the preinstalled camera app.
In normal "PHOTO" mode, the lower tele camera works here as intended. Guess some weird SW bug/setting is causing you trouble.
Below is the interface screenshot, because the Appstore picture looks slightly different.
What is you phone version?
I'm using the German/European version, model TA-1046 with Android 8.1.0
Camera firmware is V100.0077.02 - V010.0017.01
Build is 00WW_2_13B
App version is 8.0260.50

Exactly the same, also bought in Germany.
Maybe another picture related app on your phone, blocks the tele camera in normal foto mode.
As far as camera apps goes, I'm running the Pixel3Mod wo interference (this Gcam mod can obviously not use the tele camera at all), everything else is more or less stock.
I really wonder what is blocking, if that's the case.
I already restarted several times and opened the app right after it.
Doesn't work. Hrm...
Guess I'll see what HMD has to say.

Weird indeed.
As a last straw, did you try to reset the camera app settings and reopen the app afterwards?
Yep tried that too. Also tried to force stop all app that might use the camera.
Maybe it is just broken and there is a fallback to the working camera?
Edit: ah no wait it is working in bokeh mode so I guess the camera works ?
a bit worrying
That's normal
The telephoto lens only work if there is a good lighting condition, if it is a little dark environment then the normal lens only work with digital zoom because it has bigger sensor size so it give better photo
I got a message from Nokia stating that the change between the two cameras is done automatically.
I can confirm this, as suddenly it worked today in ONE instance.
Since then I couldn't confirm it again.
This automatism seems to work in like 5% of all times.
At least for me it is totally unclear when to expect the second camera to work.
Also how can I tell the second camera was used? So far pictures seem exactly the same.
Also on the display I couldn't see any difference when the second camera was actually working to the main camera using digital zoom.
It feels like I paid a lot more money for a useless gimmick for now.
If so, that's disappointing.
This is how all phones with dual camera work, if light is not enough then the phone automatically switch to the main camera.
Look at the different between the details of these photos
is there a way to have a bigger wide-angle? I am a bit disappointed because i thought with the second camera there would be some kind of a wide-angle option like action cameras have.
So there is really no way to switch manually?
Is there another camera app/mod which can give this functionality?
Use Live Bokeh mode, that's only way i got now...
I got another message from Nokia to reset the app and try again. Seems that might have resolved the issue partially as it seems to use the second camera more often. But I find it rather random still. I tested it on vacation for 3 weeks.
Often I can see a sudden switch of the camera even though the lightning situation is the same.
There is no wide-angle camera in Nokia 7 Plus mate
Has anybody else noticed a weird diamond spot on some surfaces though honor play camera?
It is visible only on certain surfaces and colors, at the center of camera.
I have uploaded the pics in a honor club post, link below.

I have also uploaded the video here if someone not able to compare with pics.
Anybody has any clue why is it there, please check and share your views.

I just tried this and yes. It's in mine too. Grrrr
After a few tries, I can only get it to show if I use the flash. Maybe it's just a flash issue?
Yep, I have this problem too.
Is this issue fixed? I'm guessing AI mode caused this (if that makes sense)
I've ordered Honor Play 4GB variant India which will be delivered on 4th Oct 2018 Sunday.
Starting to regret my choice.

Makes no sense that it's connected to ai, no. How could it? You can safely ignore the muppets on that other forum ("maybe you have a mark on your jeans" lol!)
It happens with me with Open Camera so it's not even related to the stock camera app. I used to have a sony z3 and that camera added a pink blob in the middle. I just don't think phone manufacturers test their stuff properly.

Oh cool ! Thanks for the reply.
Got any tips for a new Honor Play user ?
I only see it when I use the flash, on items close to the lens, so I'm wondering if it's taking the image slightly sooner than it should do?
It seems like and it's the actual flash LED glow that's causing the spot?
If it took a millisecond longer to take the pic, the LED glow wouldn't get picked up by the image sensor?
Just a theory.

No, because for me it happens (I can see the shape) when i've not yet taken the shot so there's no flash, focus light etc. And the shape - it's a rotated square.
It is odd, because I can't get it to occur on every photo. It does seem easiest on trousers! Perhaps it's supposed to be a watermark that's much less visible.
If you only pretend to use your phone camera and instead use a proper camera, like huawei do (https://petapixel.com/2018/08/20/huawei-caught-faking-smartphone-photos-with-a-dslr-again/) then you won't have this problem.
Anyone else experiencing this issue after updating to One UI 4? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001426/
Went to take photos for the first time in a while yesterday, and all the photos using the main lens were distorted and stretched, making us look like Coneheads in portrait mode. Wasn't an issue before, but now it is. Weirdly, what I assume is an option for the wide lens is now no longer "relevant". Any thoughts?
Yes, this has been bugging for so long now.. the main lens photos are so distorted !!
Did you find any workaround ?

The issue described in the website link is for pictures taken with the wide angle lens.
Are you seeing the issue on all of your lenses, or only certain lenses?
You mentined using the main lens. Can you test it with other lenses?
