Pro Mode Takes Two Photos - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone noticed how the Pro mode on H8Pro captures 2 similar photos, 1 in RAW and 1 in jpg, every time you click capture?
Not that it's a problem but the jpg photo looks much better compared to the RAW photo. Anyone else?
First attachment is RAW, second is jpg.
Note that the first attachment is a screenshot of the actual photo because it is too large to upload, but it should still give you an idea hah

It says as you switch to raw mode that both the images will be saved.
RAW pictures gives you a lot more data to improve picture quality even after shooting which is not possible with jpg.
For general user disable RAW from settings

Yes .. Raw photos can store much details and are also friendly for professionals.

Raw means unprocessed so it lacks quality where jpeg is processed .

It's normal because you enabled RAW mode

Compressed Photos

Has anyone else noticed the file size for photos taken on the one x? My Photo's taken at full resolution are only coming in at circa 1.8mb - seems rather small often images at the same resolution we're double the size on my DHD.
I use Camera ZOOM FX, much better app than the stock, it also not as aggressive with compression in post processing.
P.S. Just did a quick test, photo taken in Camera Zoom FX (2.7mb) is twice the size of photo in stock camera app (1.4mb).

I think we lose the cool features of the stock app such as the burst mode and the recording video and taking pictures
You can also have more than one camera app. Stock for burst mode, one for taking lower compression photo and another for social media.
Edit: just tried burst mode in the camera zoom app, and it is faster the stock! You can take up to 32 photos in one burst around 8 sec!
It looks like the app uses video recording for the duration of the burst and process the photos afterword. It is an interesting way of doing burst mode.

Good point Or I can hope the DEVs can fix the high compression rate. Some Useful Data must be getting lost

G4 DNG/RAW grainy and bad quality

Hey,
I have a question to the G4 RAW Mode.
Of course I love the manual mode of the G4 with all the settings. But if I take a phote in dng, the jpeg has a higher quality.
My problems:
1. If I turn down the ISO to get a pic without any grainyness, the ISO is still grainy.
2. If I zoom, I get a cropped jpeg, but the dng is un-zoomed.
3. There is a pattern in the jpeg's, if I also take a photo in dng.
I use stock rom with stock cam.
Thank you

That's because jpeg has noise reduction while raw doesn't, you would have to develop it. also high iso causes this. anything above 600 looks grainy. try to get a stable position and lower the shutter speed to a second or so
For RAW/DNG images you need to create a customised "Develop settings" and apply those on import, this is how I do it in Adobe Lightroom. The photo management software apply camera/lens profiles for their RAW processors, but I don't think the smartphone cameras are included. At least this is not the case for OnePlus One and LG G4 as far as I can tell.
So, the develop setting I use for LG G4 (and One Plus One as I have both) is pretty simple: in Noise Reduction I increase the luminance to 50 (in Lightroom). This smooths the graining without sacrificing too much the details. Some DNG photos need further tweaks to get the desired result though.
Raw.This format no use any NR effect.Just try Photoshop or other pictures editing program.
Raw like fresh cutted meat.Need post process!

43MP RAW photo and 32MP front pic.

Hey guys, I found a way to take a 48MP photo with raw. It's very simple.
1- get the app on play store named " Footej Camera"
2- open the app
3- slide to left and go to "RAW" option
4- if you wanna know the resolution just go on the gear top left, go to photo, and resolution. The back camera gets 48MP and the front one gets 32MP.
It's a very nice app, and if you are like me and like to take long exposure photos in the app the iso option it's higher than on official camera app.
Cool! How about Open Camera? I think that can do more tricks ...
How about the quality of the pictures .. cause i'm using GCam and works perfecly fine

Thank you for the raw photos.
From analysis, the DNG files have a lot of color noise and purple fringing on the shadows.
These are not good at all for a 48mpx sensor with pixel binning.
Would you be able to use a Gcam apk and take a few DNG raw photos as well ?
I know that gcam does some processing with the raw files.
Obrigado

RAW/DNG....can the Redmi Note 8 do this with 48MP?

Can the Redmi Note 8 do RAW/DNG with 48MP?
Thanks!
With the note 8T I can shoot raw with the 48MP sensor using open camera, and using camera2 api in the app settings.
Sorry for being a dumbo..but why shoot in RAW..what's the advantage

Not knowing is not being dumb.
Basically, any sensor sends RAW data to the camera app, then the app does some magic (adjusting exposure, colors, details, reducing noise) and gives you a ready to use jpeg: that is what does the xiaomi camera app.
Shooting raw allows you to save the RAW data, and do the magic yourself in a RAW editing software like Adobe Lightroom.
Editing a jpeg image doesn't allow a lot of modification of the image: if you're not happy with the magic the camera app did, there is not really much you can do about it.
Shooting and editing RAW is more time consuming, there is a learning curve, and the result is not instant: you have to edit the RAW. But usually the result is better than the automatic magic from the camera app: you have more room when adjusting shadows, highlights, colors, geometry, lens issues like chromatic aberration, and noise reduction software or plugins all do a better job than any camera app.

Well said :good: and informative, not only to RAW dumbo but to most ...
Cool..thanks for answering
I have to add a correction.
I thought I could capture 48MP RAW image with open camera. It turns out the raws are only 3984 x 2984 (11.8MP).
12MPix DNG are better quality than "48Pix" JPG from Xiaomi Camera

Since the "48Mpix" chip is kind of PR bull****. When zoomed to 100 % on the JPEGs shoot at so-called 48Mpix the details are hardly better than the same photo on the default 16Mpix.
DNG files produced by Google Camera, after processed with the modified DCR to get reasonable colours in Adobe Camera RAW / Lightroom Classic, can even with the "just 12Mpix" resolution create so sharp pictures that it does not make sense trying to get something more out of it. Yes, perhaps the chip natively has the megapixels but I think based on the close look at the Xiaomi photos that the 48Pix is a hype calculated by using all the RGBG subpixels as if it was a "real" pixel, then the app does some magic in the sense of making 4 pictures in a row (similar to how the HDR mode works) and then extrapolates the resolution out of 4 16MPix photos.

Hello,
What is the best camera app to shot in RAW so as I can edit?
Do you know a better raw files than the original?
Thanks
RAW files are direct from the sensor! Any app capable of shooting RAW will give you the same file!
Only difference is if a third-party app let you save the 64MP RAW images from the telephoto sensor
Edit - it appears I may be wrong in this statement as others have outlined below.

Ok I asked because with my older OnePlus 5T with GCam has much better RAW files than stock camera.

Lightroom (for Android) is a complete software ..you can don alot from your RAW phone image.
But not free.

Because it's not true what he says. Gcam for example uses a lot of image processing technologies like even before the demosaicing process, that contribute to a better picture. as far as i remember even burst images are melted into the raw picture. That's why you have much better dynamic range and details and noise as in other RAW-Cameras. As long as this is not standardized and enabled via API for all new Phones/Apps, using RAW in Smartphones beside GCAM does not make any sense.
Ok, so for me the RAW from GCAM is way better than the original RAW.... it's not all the same RAW files finally.
The one of the S20 is not really good to me... What do you think ?
Do you think that it will be possible to shot RAW with the Ultra Wide Sensor and the 64mpx? One day...?
