Facebook 3D photo - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Note 10+ works with facebook 3d photo by using live focus mode.
However, it doesn't work with front camera, only works with rear cameras. Not sure why.

Maybe because Facebook 3D photo uses TOF sensor which is only on the back of N10+, it can only use rear camera?

So it doesn't work on Note 10?

I have no idea, never used Facebook 3D photo, but whole idea of 3D is to get depth data and TOF sensor is the one providing it, which Note 10 doesn't have. There is a way to take large number of pictures from all directions, analyze all the data, estimate the depth and therefore create 3D view without TOF, but it's prone to errors and distortions, so maybe they use this method. Actually I'm not very happy with Samsung 3D scanner, since they eliminated scan of people in latest update, so I was planning to test third party apps over the weekend if I get some free time and now Facebook 3D is on my list of apps to test, if you want I can post what I find and figure how it works. All I need is another digital camera, where I can see if TOF sensor is used and sends IR signal during scan.

Front camera in wrong orientation!

I'm sure you guys have notice that the front camera is installed 90 degrees perpendicular to the screen orientation, causing ridiculous distortion in qik. Any one know of a way to either rotate the aspect so that it fills the screen without stretching, or of the camera maybe has a square sensor that could just be cropped in the proper alignment?

the problem is not the camera !! is qik
i download this app''mirror for sprint phones'' free in the market and it looks nice
i think qik is not compatible with the epic front camera
Its totally the camera. It renders (in landscape) a 480x640 image, which qik stretches to 640x480. Take a pic and resize it in photoshop, it looks exactly like it does in qik. That's why fring doesn't look horrible: it doesn't fit the image to the screen, and why qil looks good on the evo: the image is already 640x480 (well, bigger, but same aspect) and doesn't need to be stretched.

Look an app called MagicMirror. I personally worked with the dev on this to fix the Epic 4G front camera.
I see this thread is rather old, but I'm going to throw my 2 cents in anyway.
I tried the mirror programs listed here. Both of them produce an upright portrait image. Great. But what does that do to help video chat? Nothing that I can tell.
The front camera turns out a rotated image with Yahoo chat as well. (on a side note, Skype app doesn't even suppport video chat).
So I have to ask, what is the use of the epics Front camera? It doesn't appear to be supported by any useful applications. Furthermore- it seems to have been this way for 5 months now, and STILL no support?

i have never used video chat in 2.1. can anyone confirm it's this way in Eclair as well or is it just with the DK28 leak?
On ANY ffc client I tried, the cam is always sideways. Lame
/And that's my 0.2 florin... Another message exported from Epic4g via Tapatalk Pro
i rooted to 2.2 yesterday and tried the yahoo messenger video chat app and also noticed the rotation. does anyone know if the front facing camera is really screwed up or if it's just the software?

I have the same problem. Try holding the phone so the camera aims down at you. It then rotates to the correct position. It would be nice if it knew a little more about which way is up!

Camera Focuse Issue

Hello Hello Hi and Hello Again! :victory:
I've been trying for a while to take photos with my Google Galaxy Nexus but there's no way to keep the focus zone while i'm shoting. Each time i touch the screen to shot the photo, the phone loses the focus zone. Is there any way to fix this?
Have you tried other focus settings? Continuous focus stinks. Try using infinity
What other focus settings? I don't see any in the Camera app.

You must be on stock ROM.

Yup, it's a big oversight in the stock camera app. I don't understand how it's not there since it was in older versions.
Try an app called Camera Zoom FX (it was previously on Google's 10 cent deal). The program allows you to touch the screen where you want the camera to focus, and it'll automatically take a shot once it's achieved focus. The big glaring weakness of Camera Zoom FX, in my opinion, is the fact that you can't adjust the exposure. (that is, you need to be able to meter the light on a different part of the scene than you're focusing).
Honestly, it's not hard. To me, the two biggest requirements:
1. Touch to focus and shoot
2. An option to measure light from a different source (e.g. take a photo of someone in front of a window; you want to meter their face and not the window's light)

G3 camera with Google Camera App

Hey guys,
So who's given the G3's camera a run using Google's Camera app? I've tried it several times alongside the native camera app, and I realize that Google's Camera app doesn't seem to work as great as the native app.
It seems the laser assist autofocus does not work on Google Camera, since it takes a second or so for the camera to focus, instead of a few milliseconds with the native app.
HDR on Google Camera does not work as intended, either resulting in an image looking like normally shot or even at times darker.
Video recording using Google Camera app is limited to 1080p instead of 4K.
There is one thing positive with the Google Camera app though, and that it has a larger field of view compared to the native camera app. The Google Camera app almost makes it seem that the native camera app is zoomed a few times closer than it should be. I'll try to take a comparison shot to show you guys what I mean, but you can simply download the app and try it yourself
Next, I will try how the camera works with CameraZoom FX app.
Well that was expecting since I believe lg made things to work with stock...but let us know which third party works best!
I use the Google app for photosphere and lens blur.

Coming from an N5, I quickly got the Google Camera after getting my G3, but then realized the only reason I liked the Google Camera was because I shot everything with HDR+. I do miss that feature from the N5, since the G3 does not a good job at white balance in some lights, and HDR+ would always get me great looking photos, but could only shoot static targets and would take a while to shoot.
I also tried VSCO Cam and it doesn't offer much when it comes to camera settings, so things end up looking almost the same as stock, but with the slower focus like you mentioned.
Did someone come up with a way to change the way the stock camera oversharpens low light photos? It's pretty bad.
Has anyone tried LG Camera on the G3?

I only installed the Google Camera for photosphere. There really isn't any other reason to.
Also, I think the stock LG camera does have a lens blur effect.

G4 Aperture mode

Hi! Does anybody know app with something like 'aperture mode' (just like i huawei P9). I love G4's camera and I wannna have something like that in it
Is there any app that allows doing that photos?
Or maybe it would be....
Afterfocus app is the closest alternative.
Yeah I had afterfocus and google camera also, but I'd like to have sth bettet (like in p9)
Not possible without dual cameras.
But p9 doesnt use two cameras. One camera is monochromatic and only for it. This bokeh is by application and i'm searching sth like this. Iphone 7 have two cameras with various focal length
Depth of field (bokeh) can only be simulated by dual cameras in a smartphone or macro shots.
I owned Huawei P9, it would not simulated DOF if one of the two cameras were covered. Same is for iPhone 7 Plus.
But p9 havent got various focal lenght in its cameras, am I right?
Majority, almost all smartphone cameras have fixed focal length. So does P9.
DOF can be achieved naturally by variable focal lengths (like DSLR lens), or artificially by using dual cameras with fixed variable lengths. However, dual cameras DOF is fake software blur.
Thank You, now i undertstood
Anyway, have You tested google camera app? Therr is a aperture effect. It's really interesting but not good enough
I tried Google camera app and its blur effect long ago, it worked alright, but nowadays, i cannot find Google camera in play store.
Right, there is no google camera in play store directly but You can find it in official site

Question Choosing Lens for your photo and video

Google doesn't provide a professional setting of the P6P camera which allow us to pick our lens for photo and video. Anyone know if there is module existing for such kind of purpose? Also, I heard that an camera app "Filmic Firstlight" is capable for doing so in photos but not for video (they have a video app called "Filmic Pro"), anyone can share knowledge about it and how's the result?
I don't own a pro, but for me, I can find the zoom option among 0.7x, 1x, 2x while taking photos with pixel 6
I suppose choosing between different zoom ratios will enable different lenses.
Correct me if I were wrong.
Not what you're asking about but there is a module for displaying what lens is currently being used while you're using the camera, and you can see it change when you change the zoom level to a certain point: [Themes / Apps / Mods] Display which camera lens is in use

Yes, you are right but totally different kind photography concept. In portrait mode, Google camera limited you to always use the main camera with digital zoom, I am not able to use the telephoto lens which come with the P6P for my portrait shot. I always like to use my 105mm, 200mm or even 400mm prime lenses for portrait shots, they compressed the background, give me the creamy background and different look of them.

Thanks, hopefully the guy can find the way to force the picking.
They don't present by the hal separately.
