Quick question. Please read :X

Ok, So the camera's 3.2 mega pixel and the video recorder records pretty low res.
Would it be possible to edit the recorder so that it can record higher res/better quality?

Or is there any apps or console commands to change this

Unfortunatly the camera is very poor and nothing will fix it. Thats all there is too it.

Ok, Well that didn't answer my question.
Any the camera isn't poor it works great, Its a bit crappy in low light but still it looks awesome and better then a 5mp camera phone from samsung.

I actually have to agree with this as I've had the G600 and that camera SUCKED no matter what PhoneArena says. I noticed i would only use the G1 for pictures so i got rid of the 600

I took a picture of my eye and then shooped the hell outta it. (I added alot of the spots and wrinkles :X)
This is a resized/croped version, Hell you can see the g1 reflection in my eye.

Ok you must not be able to read.
I'm not asking about quality of the camera.
Im asking if its at all possible to make video RECORDING better or higher res.
And what do you mean by nice fake?
If ur implying the pictures fake, Its not at all fake and was taken by my g1.

It depends alot on bandwidth of memory in the device. I dont know if it is possible right now to make a better/higer quality video recorder. If Google creates API's that take advantage of the full potential of the graphics chips we may get a better camcorder app.

I updated to hero and it seems to have a bit better video recording
but thats because of the codec it uses.

Seriously, read the freaking thread before saying something stupid.
As for the question, I'm sure a developer could create a new app for higher resolution video recorder because it has been done on other devices. Try requesting it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446769

Thanks.

post removed, misunderstood question

No, and the reason is:
A still camera has a longer exposure time and can dedicate more light overtime for each picture. A video has to a expose an image 30 times a second, so in order to expose properly the camera must take many pixels from the ccd and group them together as 1 pixel reducing image size for video. (I could be done by reducing FPS, but that will only go so far.)
And there is also issues with video format standards and the G1 ability to play back video to consider as well.

Heck, even my Canon 5D Mark II can only record video at 1/10th of the resolution it captures still images at. It does video at 1920x1080 or 2,073,600 pixels, whereas still images are captured at 5616x3744 or 21,026,304 pixels.
I think people expect far too much from a phone that has a camera that probably cost $15 to manufacture (the camera part - not the whole phone).

No I dont exspect it to do better i just wondering if it could.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Lenovo P2 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I wonder what sensor the phone is using. The EU version P2A42 is using the Sony IMX258. But the P2C72 (Chinese global version seems to be using the Sony Exmor RS)?

Do you have any reference for that info? I didn't see any hardware specs that confirm it.

https://www3.lenovo.com/in/en/smartphones/p-series/Vibe-Lenovo-P2/p/PPIPPIP2C72
it says only Sony camera, but not which one :-/
here http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/JGS...amera-proves-just-megapixels-dont-matter.html it says that it is Sony IMX258

Photos taken by P2 are awful. They have lots of noises even on the lowest ISO and they lack details. Camera is the biggest disadvantage of this smartfone. But I love it anyway because of battery and performance.

Strange on kimovil there was other info. The chinese version had a Sony Exmor.
https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/lenovo-vibe-p2,lenovo-vibe-p2-32gb
Now both are 1:1 the same.. Hmm. But yeah anyways my old phone had a better camera. I was kinda disappointed, and also the software is terrible. It's full of bugs, I will root this sucker soon.

The rear camera is imx258 and the front camera is a ov5695.

P2's low light camera performance can be noticeably improved!
If your P2 is rooted and you have enabled Camera2 Api, please try yourself a Snap Camera HDR app ( It's avaiable in a Play Store in both Trial and Pro version, you can also find pro version cracked, erm...let's say, in the Internet. )
I've found this guy's guide in the Redmi Note 4 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/themes/google-camerawith-hdr-mido-t3656196/post74676264#post74676264. My phone is running the unofficial LOS 14.1 and...it really makes a diffrence.
Photos are being made for over a second and then about 10 seconds takes processing them (you can made another photo in the meantime).
All of these photos were made without any tripod, sometimes I sat down or leaned against the lamppost/wall but nothing really crazy(maybe 30 photos). Some photos are maybe a bit out of focus after close-up (EDIT: After seeing photos in the laptop I think that photos without "tap to focus" tend to be a bit sharper) and some of them are a little overexpossed after touch-to-focus (They don't after pressing the camera button without tapping to focus before), anyway you can play with a metering area setting(I wasn't), but...see it for yourself.

The P2 didn't magically became the S8 or the flagship camera but in my opinion photos are acceptable now.
What do you think?

[REQUEST] GCam mods A71

As per the thread tittle, are there any devs currently working on GCam mod optimised for Samsung Galaxy A71? Would love to test them out and compare with stock photo app.

Just search on Google, there's quite a lot.

Works just fine. I'd say depending on the shot the HDR works better on gcam, but auto-focus seems better/faster on the native camera app. So far I'm just using the Samsung app.

i'm used MGC_7.3.018_Parrot043-v1, with realme 5 config and change awb to s5kgw1, for result its same with app stock like iso and exposure time. but. for night mode i choose gcam. because detail is very good and time to capture didnot take long time like stock night mode.

I downloaded the GCam package for another phone I think it was the A70 If if remember correctly

@Cyber Axe @uslorin @guitarsmurf2501 @anther1 Did anyone of you manage to get the full sensor support (the 64MP) instead of just 16MP?

No, not really. Gcam also just gives 16mp. Maybe a port of the Oppo/Realme camera could? They usually have that option.

Anyone got wide angle lens working?

Is ultra wide lens still not working on all gcam mods?

Gcam app crashes when trying to switch lenses. Also, it appears Gcam doesn't detect and utilize the 64MP sensor

Greetings, Night mode and hdr+ Works in A71 gcam ports?? Thanks

This doesn't support the wide angle nor the macro lens. It doesn't seem to be a build for the a71 but for the s20.

Who cares about the crappy wide angle lens or 64mp mode? For anything but gcam snapshots with main camera I use my Fujifilm cameras instead.

I need help with using the gcam for astrophotography. Ive downloaded more than 10 version. And none worked.. another thing is when capturing nightmode, it only says to hold still. There is no shutter count down at all. Ive seen thru google that this device can actually do that star shots using gcam.
Please see sample image ig my gcam shot with astrophotography enabled.

So far I haven't found any version of GCAM that works well in night mode and astrophotography. In all the variants I tested, the captures in night sight mode are worse than the night mode of the stock camera. It doesn't matter if you are in night sight or astrophotography, the capture time never exceeds 3 or 4 seconds. And the results are always mediocre. Before the A71, I had the Moto G8 Power, and depending on the version of GCAM, I was able to capture up to about 19 seconds. The results were better with the G8 Power. And both have camera 2 api level 3 enabled. The A71 needs a version of GCAM modified exclusively for it, otherwise we will never really take advantage of the photographic set. Of course, the same cannot be said for HDR + mode. Especially if Lib Patcher has been enabled. Samsung's forced post-processing disappears, and the details really get much better in GCAM. The images are just a little dark, but I believe that a custom xml will solve it.

Third Party add on wide/ telephoto lenses?

Has anyone seen any third party add on lenses that are any good for the Note 20 Ultra?

Moment Lens have their attachment case recently released that allows for all of their lenses to be attached. I really want to get the anamorphic lenses they have, yet I just got to save up for it as they are a premium investment. There's a few other competitors to Moment Lens you might want to check out as well. I hope that helps.

I don't know where you were looking at but the have the N20U cases for order:
https://www.shopmoment.com/shop/galaxy-thin-case/note-20-ultra
I plan to pick up the case and the anamorphic lenses next month.

So this is funny..... I ordered the starter kit.... which is the Note 20 U case, 2 lenses and the lens caps and cleaning brush...... to find out that Moment is no longer supporting their Android App..... what a pita. Its not even listed in the play store from what I can see.

Moment is good. Nice thing is when new phones come out, they make a new case that is compatible with their lenses extending your investment.
Pricy, but seems high quality glass.

You're going to have optical issues with add on lens.
Get closer to the subject etc and work with what you got.
Or do it right and get a DSLR...

I have a D810 , lens reversing rings and a PB-6 bellows..... I don't want to carry all that gear with me in my pocket....

I have the Note 20 Ultra, the Moment case, Moment Fisheye, Moment Wide, and Tele. I have about $30K in professional camera gear. Adding lenses on the phone can work and I will sometimes use mine, especially for phone video. I carry these additional items in a small case. But, these phone add-ons start to add up in cost and I think you are better off investing in a compact camera. I my case, I also have a couple of small Canon EOS M bodies. These compact cameras will fit into the same size case as the phone add-ons and will be a much better solution than the phone. So I think it comes down to how much you can spend and how much image quality to need.
You could start with the Moment case and macro lens and give it a try.

I've seen some nice results from Moment lenses, any experience with cheaper telephoto alternatives? This one seems interesting:

Without asking too much I would assume that this is a camera fault.. I'm assuming you're using the default camera? You could try to use pro mode and just change the ISO to 1600 and have a longer exposure 5+ seconds.. It'll have similar results although I'd use a tripod for it so it's clear..
If that fails and you've already wiped then I'd say hardware.
You don't have any protectors on your lenses do you?

Well that's good news I see that as a win.
Have you tried gcam and it's night mode? Works a lot better.
Personally I don't use AI unless I'm taking a picture of a document or something specific, for night shots you really can't beat the pro mode, I take astrophotography shots myself with my DSLR and if I tried to shoot using some kind of auto mode I know it would be crap in comparison, it's defo a faff on a phone but pro mode is the way forward..
Does the camera allow you to change lens for night shots? Use the sensor with the lowest f stop.
