I see there's a Pro mode in the camera app but it appears that's only for photos.
Is there a way to set manual focus in the video mode?

Hi - does anyone know how to set HDR as the default mode on the camera?
I turn HDR on, but when I exit and re-enter the camera app, it is back to normal (non HDR) mode...
As far as I know it is not an option you can change - you may have to use a different camera app
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 noticed that the Camera always takes HDR photos l, when the Camera app uses the default 'Photo' mode. I alwqys have to switch to 'Pro' when i don't want to use HDR.
You can clearly see the difference, when taking Photos of landscapes with clouds.
There is no way to turn it off, but why?
Did someone also noticed this behavior?

You can take non hdr photos. Just take focus at the darker point and it won't use hdr to take a picture.
So why is there a special hdr mode, when it takes hdr pictures by default? I don't get it

i agree its a bad move on Huawei's part.
The HDR effect is too strong on a normal photo.
i think of it as:
Pro = no hdr
Normal Photo = hdr enabled to some extent depending on the dynamic range of the photo ( i.e. if its all a similar brightness then the HDR is very minimal - but if there are very dark and very lights areas it will be a bigger effect )
HDR mode = hyper-real HDR mode

Sure
I find the HDR function excellent and have no reason to ever turn it off. But you're right. For those who want it off, they should provide a no HDR option. The dedicated HDR mode under the 'more' tab should be rebranded as HDR Plus of something.
Yes, I have master AI disabled and I still get to keep the HDR function without the silly suggestions. I really like that.
Would it be possible to tweak the phone to record video with monochrome camera? Maybe it would perform better for night recordings.
Also another stupid thing is that in BW mode you can't have raw mode... You are right we need video mode for BW camera !
The option for adjusting rear camera photo is missing in the default camera app. The highest setting reported from other camera app is 4096x3072. Any idea? Stock x30 Pro. Thank you.

there is not, only for front cam, depends on the mode and the ratio 4:3 is 200Mpx at ultra res mode for example
There is "Ultra-res" mode where you can shoot with 200MP. It is slow. I hope it will become better after some update.
The 50MP mode is a little tricky to find - it is called "Smart high resolution" in the setting of the Photo mode. It is turned on when there is "enough" light for it and you don't have any control over that mode.

Thx all, I really missed out the Ultra Res mode. The interface is kind of counterintuitive, especially the drop down menu, I'd call it a hidden feature.
