Camera resolution - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

On my 20 X camera, the max resolution I can select is 24mp, however on my wife's 20 Pro, the 40MP is available. Anyone knows why?

I can just say that I see 40MP fine on my 20 x, it's the exact same camera software and hardware as the 20 pro. Try to go to e.g pro mode, make sure you have 1x selected and go to settings, what options a do you have for resolution.

Believe it depends on what you select. Like portrait is restricted. "Photo" on mine opens up the 40 megapixel option.

24mp should only be the front facing camera

Omg thanks everyone! I think the front camera is limited to 24mp while the back is 40mp. Silly me. :laugh:

The front camera is only 24mp. It's not 40. The rear is 40/20/8.

[Q] Camera settings

Why does the camera set the settings on 0.3 megapixels instead of 5 mpx (which is the maximum). I just found this out and I havn't changed anything in the settings by my own.
You guys should look it up since the device does it by itself.
Is that so? Mine never did that... I'm curious now: does it change it back to 0.3MP when you set it in 5MP?
Not sure if this explains it, but I've noticed that if you switch to the front facing camera to take a picture, then switch back to the main camera, the resolution setting stays at the maximum resolution of the front facing camera (640x480) and you have to manually change it back to 5MP.
Mine doesn't have that problem.

[Q] Camera problems

Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.
Photo taken with stock camera app: 8mpx: http://oi45.tinypic.com/n2odar.jpg
Photo taken with Camera Zoom FX, 8mpx: http://oi48.tinypic.com/i5ver8.jpg
HOX stock: http://oi49.tinypic.com/21dizcx.jpg
Camera Zoom FX: http://oi48.tinypic.com/315cvg0.jpg
What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?
Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.
Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.
harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto E4 Plus 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'm not a big user of phone cameras. I never use any settings. I just open it, take a picture, and move on. If I can take a picture of what I want, and tell what it is later, and be able to enjoy looking at it, I'm happy. This camera does it's job well. No complaints.
I'm ugly, but I took this with the e4 on lineage.

Hi,
I have same problem with poor quality pictures and discovered and installed a new app from PlayStore. It is about FreeDCam and for me it makes a huge difference when taking pictures.
Also may be opened with double click on Power button.
Wish you all best.
Hi. I have this phone. It is from a family member. I've updated it to version 113. I've rooted it. all good. but in the rear camera, the maximum resolution is 5mpx. and in the front chamber, the maximum resolution: 13mpx.
that is, the reverse of what it should be. and in addition, the photos with the rear camera are out of focus.
I will try to go back to the rom stock, because before rooting and unlocking bootloader, it was fine.

20MP (IMX 376K) how to access in normal conditions?

Hello,
I want to take pictures in jpg +dng with the IMX 376K sensor. Are there some third party apps, that have access to the IMX 376K ?
And what is with FreeDcam? Any plans to integrate this?
Thanks
FYI 20MP is scaled up number. You won't get good quality like primary 16MP lens. So not much use of the secondary lens however they should give option to switch lens in pro mode.

Hi
For tests you can dial *#*#1597#*#* which should open the camera app in test mode.
Then you can switch sensors with the camera switch button on the left side.

I see this also works on the new OP 6+ (Plus) model for 2018. But I can't switch to 20 mp sensor with volume buttons - However, I can still use telephoto/normal (1X/2X) using the camera app. Isn't that strange?

Question Pixel 6 pro selfie camera (ISSUE)

I have no option for the .7x wide-screen on selfie camera.
Can zoom from x1 upto x4 but no wide-screen using .7
Can idea guys?
Your camera app looks different to mine. I don't have a zoom slider only buttons.
My camera app version: 8.4.167.404335983.10
Perhaps try cleairng app data and checking if there's updates
Is that camera all the way down to 0.7x? I understood that to just be for the outward facing camera at 114 degrees. The video conferencing camera is only 94 degrees, so not as wide. Mine shows me zoom down to 0.9.
The HAL says: android.control.zoomRatioRange [0.84999305 10.00000000 ]
Looks like you also have some kind of night mode switched on. I wonder if that changes the limits?

I'm also on same app version as you. Have cleared cache and force stopped camera app, & looked for any update, but I'm on latest version.
Still not fixed issue, so still no .7 on front camera for stills or video. It's a slider that goes from x1 to 4x
Thanks anyway

No it's not on 0.7x it will only adjust from x1 upto x4 on front camera, so I'm missing the 0.7x. This is on both the stills & video on front camera, and also uses a slider rather than buttons?
It's running latest camera app version & I've forced stopped the camera app and cleared cache but still set the same, strange one.
I've tried with & without night sight settings but same either way.

You completely missed what I said. It SHOULD NOT read 0.7x for anyone EVER because that camera has a range of 0.85 to 10.0. That means it will read as 0.9 to 10.0 (rounded to 1 decimal point).
The "away" facing wide angle camera has a greater range; [0.67044258 20.00000000 ]
Try the grapheneOS camera application: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_external_Camera/raw/12/prebuilt/Camera.apk

Get in touch with the Google support team. They should be able to replace your phone with a new one. The replacement may not arrived soon though.

Yours is right, mine is wrong. But I can't seem to fix the problem.
Have you had the software update yet that added some features?
I had 1 software update out the box which I installed.
I'm using the latest camera build version 8.4.167.404335983.10
I uninstalled the camera app & reinstalled, also done hard reset pressing power & volume up for 10 seconds, but still have same issue!
If the video conferencing camera reads 0.7 in the google camera application, they're probably mucking with the readings. The HAL *does not* have that ratio.
I have the same issue, had an update this morning. The gesture bar at the bottom is gone and the camera interface has a slider rather than 0.7, 1, 4 etc!
I've realised that on both of our pixels having selfie video in time lapse mode crashes the app
