Video exposure and focus lock?

Is this possible via the stock camera app at all or I need to look into Filmick (or other 3rd party apps) for such features? Auto focus and auto exposure adjusting constantly when shooting changing scenery/lighting can be a real PITA. Cheers

You can use the pro mode to focus manually and get a fix exposure.

Aaargh... I had thought of that so I had looked in Pro mode but didn't see any relevant video settings (or so I thought). Now when someone tells you it's there it somehow extends your awareness and voila, there's a camera icon on the top right corner that, wow, switches to Pro mode for video
Thanks man!

Is this camera icon shows up when you are in the pro mode? Or where? I can't see it.

haha, glad I was not the only one to whom it wasn't so evident!
Enter Pro mode, to the right you see the normal "Photo shoot" button, above it there is a camera icon, hit it and the button changes to "Rec" button and you are in Pro Video mode.

Haha, I found it, thanks man

But how do I change the focus while shooting video? I can use a slider to focus but not during shooting.

That one I know but I thought you can use the focus slider to have nice effects.

Hi! You can do that. open camera>Settings>Enable the object tracking option.

I always ran into some kind of errors/problems when trying to use Pixel Experience on my previous Moto G5 Plus - issues such as camera would crash sometimes, or, some things not working properly.
Are you really able to use the ROM with this (G5S Plus) and not having any crashing, missing features, or other problems when using for more than a couple weeks? If so, that's great news. I miss having a phone with PROBLEM FREE Custom ROMs (My Galaxy S3 usually had Custom ROMs available with ZERO problems).

PE 8.1 or 9.0?
When screen is off, does "CHOP CHOP" turn on flashlight as it should?
Does your screen change color at night? "Night Mode", less "blue light" for better sleeping if you look at your screen at night.
System UI Tuner is working fine?
These days I seem to be unable to find *ANY* ROM without multiple problems reported by users in the discussion threads - such a sad situation.
I am on STOCK, but, I really want to try this GCam 6.1 for "Night Sight", but stock ROM won't work because it's not 64 bits

Hi there, I tried MGC_6.1.021_Mido_Nightfix.apk and after taking a shot there is notification "Processing HDR+" that
never goes away even though the photo is ready to be viewed at the gallery. I'm also running PixelExperience Pie,
any recommendation as far of the most recent apk that works the best for the G5S Plus?

Display Notifications on AOD

Hi.
I'm running a clean flash of eu miui 9.6.20 and the ambient display doesn't show any incoming notification icons (gmail, WhatsApp, SMS).
I tried changing the notification to icons, and all kinds of other changes and none helped.
If someone here had the same problem and was able to fix it by changing some settings, I'd be happy to here about it.
Thanks!

It is not a problem, it is a decision of Xiaomi. If you install xiaomi eu you can see all notifications for all apps

I don't understand... I was using EU MIUI when I asked the question

Xiaomi eu, i don't know what do you mean with "eu miui", shows all notifications, if you have the one i said there is an issue, try format.

We're taking about the same ROM; when I google for it I type eu MIUI, but yes - your name is the accurate one.
Anyway - I found the solution: I had 'skip screen lock' enabled ( it is under developer options).
Disabling this option got all the notification icons back to AOD.

Odd, mine is greyed out, no wonder I thought it's not there. Particularly hard to read it when in dark mode and lowest brightness lol.
It seems disabled. But doesn't show all notifications in aod. Also seems like u're running same OS as me

Mi 9 can't change custom camera watermark.

I just got my Mi 9 yesterday.
I'm on the latest global MIUI version 10.2.13.0.
I went to the camera settings > custom water mark.
I changed it to something like "Mine's phone", but after taking the photo, it still shows "AI Triple Camera".
I asked my local facebook forums about it, and their Mi9 had a "save" button when changing the custom watermark.
Mine had no save button.

Same issue on my device by same MiUI version.
Seems like it's a bug and I think It will be fixed in next update.:good:

Weird bug, others who have the same MIUI version (same phone of course) don't have that issue.
I tried changing my region to India, and still not working.

I fixed it. Just press on the top right corner of the screen on the custom watermark setting.
There is a checkmark there, but its hidden (bug).

Yeah It's worked for me too.
But I totally hate watermark ?

The issue fixed for me, on 10.2.14 update.

Good thing Xiaomi fixed this fast.

Question Photo Samples?

Does anyone have any non-edited camera or manually processed photo samples from this phone? I just picked one up, and the camera colors appear very off from the iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung 22 Ultra, the photos lack the same sharpness as others, and there is also a light "haze" on the pictures. This is all on the default camera app

I am not using the default camera, only GCam, and the colors are very similar to the iPhone 14 Pro.
Download GCam and the config from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/working-gcam.4261843/post-88388447
To load the config, do this:
1. Copy the .xml file to the /LMC8.4 folder on yout Mi11U
2. Open GCam and double tap the black area to the left or right of the trigger button
3. Choose your downloaded .xml file and tap "Import".
Here is an example (iPhone 14 Pro left, Mi 11 Ultra right):
