Yes there are bugs for sure. The quality degrades only in potrait mode due to artificial zoom effect applied to the potrait pictures. But other than that everything is fine mostly.

I agree with you

On investigation I found that the 5MP Sensor is only working sensor and due to that the focusing does not work neither does portrait.

bluring of video focusing.can't take the video perfectly.

[Q] Stock camera focusing

I taked some photos with different app. All apps set focus on infinite or landscape.
The stock (Cybershot) and Camera360 are clearly out of focus, blurred.
^^Hmm i have tried to compare the Pictures. At the end i only watched the dogs movement.

Ismerős?
I have the same question. Does anyone else have focusing issue?
In dark/bright situations, 8 out of 10 times, my phone either cannot focus or gets out of focus.
Were these photos taken under kitkat?
I tried both Snap Camera and stock camera under JB but I can't see the differences between the photos they took, I mean both of them lose a lot of detail.
seems same here with stock KK / romaur v2.1...

Hi, didn't try any 3rd party app yet, but yes I also started to think that some photos are quite noisy and/or blurry in details with Stock and now Stock-Romaurv2.1 (KK). ----> +1
How did you get your first shot ??
The zoom of "1-Better_20140320_153735.jpg" looks amazing!
This 3rd party app I would try first.... :good:
Thanks!

Snapchat camera zoomed in?

Hello,
I just received my Oneplus 5T and noticed that while using snapchat the camera view seems to be heavily zoomed in. I wonder if there is a fix for this as it makes taking pictures more difficult and pretty annoying.
Thanks.
same issue here
Same here, what a craptastic app.
This issue was also in a community forum, a oneplus member said it would be fixed in a software update/it's a bug with oxygen os. I think it's due to the 18:9 aspect ratio, go to the camera app and select that ratio and it just zooms in on the 4:3. I think the same is happening with snapchat.
Yep. I've also reported it to Snapchat as well. (shrug).

Was that guy really an OnePlus employee? I didn't see any real verified sign in their profile. That or I just haven't used OnePlus forums enough to know.

Also noticed it happens in Instagram. Maybe I owe a snapchat an apology.
Snapchat and all other 3rd party camera apps are using 18:9 camera ratio and apparently Oxygen OS Camera isn't optimised well for the 18:9 ratio. It just zooms and crops in the pic. Try changing the ratio from 4:3 to 18:9 in the default camera app, you will get same result as Snapchat, both in front as well as rear camera. This is a major system bug in Oxygen OS.
OnePlus has said that they're releasing an update in early December that will bring major improvements to the camera. Hope that update fixes this issue too otherwise this is a major deal breaker.
Another camera disappointment by OnePlus.

Yep, mine is back in the box until a camera update arrives, then I will see if it's worth keeping or selling. Until then, I am breaking the Note 8 back out.
how good is snapchat on OnePlus 5T
Hi, I noticed that android phones have a tendency to lag whenever a snapchat video is taken. It can be seen particularly when an iPhone is used to view the android's snap. I was wondering if this is the same if the video is taken by a oneplus 5t?
Such an annoying bug! Absolutely hate this bug. I hold the phone so far away yet it's as though I'm holding the phone right near my face

Yep it's a known issue. Oneolus has fixed it on their end and all that Is left is for Snapchat it fix it. They are working togethor
Snapchat announced that the want to improve the Android experience by rebuilding the app.
Currently the android snapchat is just a dirty copy of iOS snapchat which sucks my battery really hard.
The problem is fixed now isn't it.

Do you know what this means and how to fix it? I get the same thing. I'm still on 7.1.1 if that means anything.
Only works on 8.0+
Taken at least a dozen photos of my idiotic face just to test it, and it works exceptionally well really. Thanks to whoever modified it, great job.
The caveats though, it will only work as long as a HUMAN FACE is detected, for nothing else, and HDR+ or HDR Enhanced etc. modes won't have any effect while using this portrait mode. Also I really wish the images didn't come in the burst mode format, but I am sure a future update will polish up these things, kindly update the topic if an update is made to the app.

If you check out the post I linked to in the op, he details how this sorcery works. I don't think portrait mode is designed to work with hdr+ as it is kind of counterintuitive. Face retouch works however and works well with portrait mode. I think the burst mode is a side effect of the work around he is using (using the software version that's implemented in the pixel 2's ffc on our cameras rear facing camera). Anyways I'm just happy to see our device is still getting improvements from these newer devices. ?
Has anyone tested normal photos with HDR and HDR+ to see if it performs the same as the normal google camera? If it's the same then it makes sense to disable the google camera and rely totally on this one.

Been meaning to but really didn't get time to inspect the photos on my monitor, however I think this one has some video recording feature missing or whatever, someone mentioned EFS not working on 1080p. Pardon me if I've read wrong.
So if we can get portrait mode se should be able to get now playing too right?

Yes, EIS does not work with 1080p ( which I use the most for the 60fps) and to be honest, HDR+ enhanced seems to be a bit over processed compared to the stock camera in my opinion.
Do you have the newer APK, which I told adds some 4k features?
Edit: looks like it adds 4k to phones that support it but didn't come with it.

Google GCAM MOD5. That contains the 4k ZSL... I just feel like I don't have so much blur when taking daily pictures. Built by Arnova...

Thanks for posting this, been using it for a while now. Works brilliantly.

Google Camera is finally here people ??

Yes you read it correct our long wait is over now. Now we too can enjoy the amazing processing of gcam. Everything works like a charm and there is a significant improvement in the quality. I'm sure this will get better as this is obiously an early build.
And it's not the pixel 2 camera but it's the pixel 3 one!..
Here's what works:
*Portrait mode on both front and back cams(only on humans)
*HDR+, HDR+ enhanced
*Panorama (super glitchy for now)
*And pretty much everything else
*Night mode ( slight improvements only)
*Photo Sphere
Here's what doesn't work:
*Live Google lens
At first the images will look dead.So after you install it you need to increase the saturation. Go to settings , bsg mod settings , saturation and change saturation of front and back cam.
Literally all the credit goes to @xdaakhil for digging this up. If you want to thank someone thank him.
Well my thanks button is down there too ?
Working on :
Honor 9 Lite
Honor 7X
Honor P Smart
Mate 10 Lite
P20 Lite
Honor 6x
keep testing
Edit: video and photos sphere works after changing the default storage to internal. Don't know why it doesn't work with the SD card?
Photo sphere is also very buggy
Photos cannot be clicked without enabling HDR+ or HDR+ enhanced.
There is a pinkish tint on highlights. This can be overcome if you guys focus on the lit(highlights) part by tapping on the viewfinder.
This port can work without root or any modifications.

? Don't know why that happened. Try downloading it again.
To those of you who who don't know why portrait only work on humans:
Gcam doesn't utilise the secondary camera that comes with the device as pixel phones have a single lens setup. The portrait is completely software based. You can check this, cover the secondary lens and click a portrait pic, it'll work!
This is also very useful as we will get good quality blur and edge detection like flagships in our budget phones as the software processing is the same in both apps.
So the camera cannot detect Dept between the subject and background as it only uses one lens.
Hello,
please, tell me, did you find optimal settings of gcam for our phone? Saturation and HDR+? I am testing it but I am not finding the perfect combination yet.

Well im also a bit confused about the perfect match.
But this is what I use:
Pixel 3 as the input method in both front and rear cams(for the super res zoom to work)
Saturation, rear cam highlights 2.7 shadow 2.9
Front cam highlights 2.2 shadow 2.6
Tweak around yourself but I couldn't get the cam to take a picture like it is shown in the viewfinder and the skin tones are better in the viewfinder than the final photo ( the details are far better though)
Thank you Fredin. I will test it.
Been lurking for a while, just registered to say thanks, works nicely the difference is pretty big! Panoramic mode is slow and buggy for me but photosphere does the same thing anyway and works well, lastly, is the RAW picture supposed to look really low resolution like it does for me?
It's working on P Smart as well, will be testing more tomorrow.

Anyways thanks guys. Keep testing

Yeah the raw shots do look like it's of low quality(don't know why). But since this build wasn't built for us this is really good.
Only if someone ports the camera for Kirin devices.
Anyways good to hear from you.

I'm not sure as slow motion recording requires hardware support which our phones dosent have.
Normally phones (including ours) records in 30 or 60 fps which is good for taking normal videos but not for slow-mo recording. All the apps you see in playstore just slows down the fps and processes them to slow the video down, but this causes quality loss and an artificial feel to it.
So I don't think we will be about to get slow motion working.

Yup, its working on my honor 9 lite like boom but 1 thing I would like to ask is that it supports any image stabilisation or not.

Main camera distortion

Using Global version 11.0.6.0.
I notice that the main camera, even at 1x setting, produces quite a bit of pincushion distortion at the edges. Furthermore, in 0.6x wide angle, the distortion is severe and not at all helped by turning on the correction setting.
None of the camera reviews for the RN8P mention this, so I am wondering if there is a defect in my device.
Any thoughts?

I tried it and I don't see any clear improvement over the built in app, either with distortion or with the photo quality itself. In fact the native app 64 mp mode is much clearer
I admit that I haven't bothered with using the xml file, in the past I haven't found that its worth the effort...

Only when I use the "enhanced HDR+" is there a difference, but that's like night mode where it takes a few seconds to take the shot
I saw a youtube review and comparison using this version and the stock app. The reviewer perhaps could see the difference (pixel peeping), but it was not obvious to me
