Camera changes after update 10c - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone confirm, when changing the shutter speed to 1 Seconds and up.
On broad daylight the screen isn't blanked up all white anymore?
When I play with the settings in dark environment everything is still working when I look at the pictures, only not visible on the shooter display. Changes under 1\2 seconds are still visible on the screen.
My camara app version is 4.52.34.6

White screen here. Which makes sense as the photo will turn out white as well

And isn't that normal considering the fixed aperture ?

Yep! A 1+ second exposure in daylight will be waaaaay overexposed.

When and where did this update happen?

Exactly so the question i'm wondering given the thread title is whether 10c does have any changes wrt to the camera ?

No idea. My phone came with 10c, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Camera Settings?

Hey guys, what are the optimal settings for taking the best possible photos using the camera? Also, what is the difference between the flash symbol with an A and without? Thanks.
Flash without A is forced flash (always on)
With a is automatic and only kicks in if light is low.

There aren't really any 'optimal' settings, apart from making sure you're taking 8mp photo's. Whether you want to take pictures in widescreen or not is up to you. I prefer not. Apart from that, it completely depends on the lighting and subject matter. If you have a relatively steady hand, the subject isn't going to move much and the lighting is alright, then the HDR setting can take some fantastic pictures. Auto seems to fine for most things

Do note that when the camera is on, the screen brightness is automatically set the maximum brightness, so a picture might look quite a bit darker in Gallery. I've set my screen at 30% brightness during normal use

Manual Exposure

So i recently updated my nexus 5 and in the stock camera settings i see an advanced with manual exposure inside. This is not an option in my nexus 5x camera app. Anybody know why? And are there any build.prop tweaks to add this setting?
Thanks

Not sure if you referring to exposure compensation or actual exposure time stock camera does not offer manual control hence no manaul exposures best to try 3rd party app

Not a 100% sure but for example I took a couple pitures of a window with sunlight coming thought it, with the setting at 0 all I could see was light coming throught the window (completly white) and when i lowered it down to -1 there was less light and i could see the fence behind the window. So my nexus 5 has this setting but the 5x doesnt.

then it exposure compensation ... https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/3txp0c/its_confirmed_nexus_5x_has_no_manual_exposure/
best would be 3rd party app then adjust shutter speed manually

Awesome, thanks for the info man! Yup I do know that there are 3rd party apps capable of doing this but I just find it quite weird that the nexus 5 stock camera app has this setting but the 5x's stock camera app doesnt, thats all.
Nexus 5x need a lg g4 camera porting!
Who can do it? :crying:
Has it been fixed? (yet?)

Unlock longer shutter speeds

Hello everyone,
Long story short, just bought nexus 5x, I have developed a few kernels in past for various devices, and I am little bit disappointed with n5x camera.
Phone does make awesome pictures, but it lacks longer shutter speeds, I would like to unlock it. Some people say that it is hardware limited, some that software, so here I am asking you how is it for real, and please, answer with any arguments, proofs, I would like to avoid guessing.
I would like to know if there is any sense in trying to unlock it and digging through source code.
Cheers
I managed to take photos with 1 s shutter speed with L Camera.

How did you do it? I could only select 1/6s as the slowest shutter speed.

Most probably fake Bulb mode, which is as stated by app creator - fake. Just multiple 1/6s pictures stacked up together

L Camera. And no, no fake, because I used to edit the DNG file in Photoshop.

Nexus 5 hardware is capable of capturing photos at 0.86s shutter speed (5x probably too). And this app uses this capability.
1 fps preview confirms this.

Huh, the older version of L Camera does indeed allow you to select 1/1,2 exposure and in the exif it's shown as 1s.

This one https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/releases/download/v0.3/lcamera-debug.apk. The newest dev-build only allowed down to 1/6s.
Thank a lot.
Now I hope that will be possible to implement this feaute on other (more advanced) camera apps (fv5,proshot,....)

It does work, I will have a look at it
I confirm the with L-Camere 0.3 is possible to have a shutter time of 1s (if I select 1/1,2) and the night photos are incredible
I asked to ProShot developer if is possible to implement this feature on his great app. I hope that is possible....
Looks like HTC 10 has same camera sensor and it's camera app allows to use 2s shutter speed, unfortunately, none of htc camera app versions let's me go manual on our nexus.
Also Xiaomi YI 2 action camera has it, and it allows up to 30s while taking pics. So i guess I/we would have to edit camera libs. I also emailed lcamera creator but I don;t think that he will respond.

Hey guys, I have Nokia 8 (TA 1012) and I don't like the fact that the longest exposure time is 1/2 s. Can you help me override it? To unlock longer exposure time.

Pro mode, long shutter speed problem. White dots?!

Hello everyone im new here in the forum.
İ bought a brand new htc10 a month ago (uk version)
So far so good i had no issues with my new gadget...
But im into photography also i used to have a lg v10 (have a great manuel controls)
With htc10 in pro mode (all updates have been made) you can set the shutter up to 16 seconds after the latest firmware you know...but! There is a but there. After 1 second of shutter speed i noticed dozens of white little dots in my photos...visible in the dark areas. Than i realize they are even more and more if you set the shutter speed up to 8 or 16 seconds. Dozens of white little dots!! İn my theory, its not a dead or stuck pixel..i guess the camera lens is sapphire glass or something like that and when i look at the glass so close with a torch, i see some little sandy things in the glass..( or inside of the glass)
İ dont really know what is this..if you have an idea let me know pls. Or just show me some 8 seconds of shutter speed example fron your htc10 device. ? Thank you all.
I was about to say this too. Even on video shooting got the same problem. Must be htc using a different method of capturing images. Also, this phone create a bit nice or i should say artifacts on low light.
İ didint try the video mode but in pro mode...i set the iso to 100...and it about the long shutter speeds. 1 to 16...you will that there are lots of little white dots (not iso) in the photo..
Can you try a sample image?
İt is not looking like a artifacts...also in auto mode there is no problem i dont see any white dots. They are visible in the long shutter speeds. And you should set the iso setting to 100. İf you zoom in you will see them.
Or i have the defect camera lens or sensor :/ any help would be appreciated.

Don't listen to the guy above your last post. Post your firmware version and someone will tell you the country version. Still will not help the white spots, but will give some insight.

Yeah you are on the lastest International firmware. I would post in the HTC Camera Thread and try there.
Link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/htc-10-camera-thread-t3358858
Hi, i resume this post because i have the same issue. Htc 10, pro mode, low iso (like 100), long shutter speed : in the photos there are a lot of little white dots. But if you shot with another app like proshot or camera fv5 there aren't any white dots in the photos... But I don't like the other app..and the max shutter speed is only 5 seconds (in the original app are 16 seconds)... Please tell me if you have a solution or there are other discussions in which people are talking about it. Thanks
Try clean the lens with a soft cloth HTC 10 camera is very fragile in dust or finger prints.If problem persists its a harware issue .I had this problems but when i clean the lens is ok....
those are hot pixels i guess. when you use sensor for a long time it could be happened to emerge dots in dark areas.
hi, thanks for the reply, i realized that even with other application the problem persists and i will contact the htc support. i will let you known if there are any news. Thanks

This was done using Google camera (GCAM) and I used the open source GIMP to reduce the glare. I forget which version of GCAM I used but it's in the thread lower down.

You did not state you wanted it from the stock camera as only phones like the P30 Pro has a dedicated 'Starry sky' mode.
