Ah.....I think I found my answers after googling around.....Here is the answers if anyone is interested:
There are a number of reasons why Duo Effects may not work with your photo:
One or both lens were blocked when you took the photo.
You didn't use the Camera capture mode. You can't use Duo Effects on photos taken in other capture modes.
The photo you're trying to apply the effects to was taken using the front camera.
The scene was not set to Auto.
The flash was not set to off when the photo was taken.
There was not enough ambient light when the photo was taken.
You've zoomed in or the camera may be too close to the subject when the shot was taken.
Duo Effects can't be applied to cropped photos.
Duo Effects can't be applied to the same photo more than once.

Duo modi all the time greyed out
Hi,
i have the same problem all the time the camera says lenses are blocked. But my hand is far away form the two lenses

camera on moving subjects (g3 camera)

I've just seen pictures (taken on a g3) of players playing football. When I take pictures of people walking fast they turn out blurred. How do I take pictures of moving subjects? Or should I use a different camera app?
thanks

I am seeing this too. Took a look at the camera settings, but didn't see anything that would address this. I thought the laser-focusing was supposed to make the camera very speedy in taking pictures.
Thoughts?
Laser autofocus makes it speedy to focus. The shutter speed defines if moving subjects are blurry.
The only thing to change on stock camera app is to set HDR to OFF (it's auto by default). Maybe this will help, if it's using HDR on these photos.
Default camera app in burst mode works just fine - press and hold shutter.

Move youre phone in the same direction as the object and take the picture
Also, make sure your outside on a bright day. Put the sun behind you (so that it's shining on your subject).
Any camera will struggle to freeze an object in motion if it's not bright enough.

DEPTH CAM as NORMAL CAM. Can we use this for 3D picture/video?

Someone found a way to use depth cam as normal cam that took 13mp image https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...miui-stock-camera-portrait-mode-dual-t3816069
now, can we use this knowledge to create or mod a camera app to take 3d picture/video?
theoretically, the easiest way should be simply allowing both camera to take photo / record video simultaneously. This will allow very easy post on a computer to merge them into one 3d picture or 3d video.
or as a workaround, maybe.. simply open https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...miui-stock-camera-portrait-mode-dual-t3816069 AND google camera on split-view, and initiate recording/take a pic?
i cant test it as im still waiting 100 hours left for unlock.
thankyou
It's no use because of interpolation. Our depth cam is 5MPx, so if there is a real way to shat 3D pictures they will be half-blured because the 5mpx picture will be expanded to match 13mpx.

the reverse should work then, 13mpx scaled to 5mpx

Why google camera flipping of front camera photos?

I just can’t believe that the best market front camera does not have flipped photo mode, so disappointed.
The GCam Tool doesnt work :crying:
Is there any solution?
yes, i am disappointed too...
Hello, I am the developer of GCam Tool. I had replied to your Play Store review, with my email address ([email protected]), requesting you to get in touch. Nevermind, let me help you here.
First of all, could you please check your selfie using a third party gallery app like Piktures? Sometimes the gallery inside Google Camera app is slow to refresh thumbnail and so it might show it flipped but the actual selfie might not be.

What do you mean by flipped photo mode? My front camera photos all come out in the proper orientation, where the image matches the perspective of someone who is standing in front of me.
I'm using the gcam mod and it works fine. For selfies not being mirrored that is.
Apptuners you're right in saying Google photos is a little slower to update but it does work

But it is like a mirror reflection of what you see in the camera preview, isn't it? What you are saying is logically the correct way as even the writings on your clothes will be readable. Still I guess some people (myself included) prefer to have the output exactly as you see in the preview.

Thank you. That is great to know.
i hope google will fix this with an option to choose.
i prefer to see the same result as i see in my camera before i shoot
Glad I'm not the only one. It feels weird and unnatural when the picture isn't like in the preview. I know it's the way people see you but still I rather the pic be the same as the preview
what the heck are y'all talking about??

Hold something with writing on it in front of you while doing a selfie. The screen will display the writing backwards. But the pic will show the writing correctly.
I like it the way it is.
Thnk god now they have added a setting to save the selfie just as previewed.
i am facing the same problem, when i open the front camera in potrait mode it doesn't capture what it shows, it flips the image, i wish if there was an option to restrict flipping images...

Blurry pictures with children or dogs moving around?

Guys, I have a question about the camera of this device. I've always used an iPhone or other Samsung S-line device. When taking pictures of my always-moving daughter, or dog, on the Samsung (S7, S10e) always the hands or feet are blurry (even shooting in the daylight, where the shutter speed is the highest possible) . On the iPhone, I always get photos without this blur. Does anyone have experience in this type of situation with the Pixel?
Yes, if you have HDR+ Enhanced enabled you'll get blurry pictures that's why I use HDR+ and Motion or without any HDR option enabled.

Without HDR it gets much more static? That's nice. If you could post a sample it you be nice

Question Photos always blurry

Is anyone else having luck with the camera on this phone? Any photo I take of an object that's not completely still (i.e. children, who are usually the subject of my photos) comes out so blurry as to be basically useless. My old phone from 2017 took better pictures of moving targets than this! There must be some camera setting I need to change, but I can't find it. Googling the problem is not very helpful. GCam doesn't work (the viewfinder freezes) and it doesn't seem like anyone is actively developing GCam for the S21FE snapdragon version. Please help!
Use stock cam. Uninstall any 3rd party cam apps.
Clear cam data and clear system cache.
Try again.
Does manual focus work in pro mode?
Try using AF in safe mode.
Tried that. No luck. Manual focus not much help on a moving subject.
I should mention, the entire photo is not blurry. It's like the camera picks a random object in the background and focuses on that. Anything that's not stockstill is blurry. I tried it with "tracking autofocus" enabled and disabled, and got the same results. Tried turning on/off the "intelligent scenes" as well, no luck.

It has a fast lense ie a very shallow field of focus especially if close to the subject.
Doesn't that have lasser aided AF? If so it should be spot on.
On my N10+ I need to use manual focus sometimes for very close macro shots. Otherwise it does well including tracking.

Happens to me also. Samsung tends to take photos with a higher shutter speed and lower ISO. Autofocus is also slower in the stock camera. Try OpenCamera and see if it's better.
Update: Actually nevermind, OpenCamera has the same shutter speed with lower light. It seems to be something preset in the camera API of Samsung phones.
