Hello guys, today I am going to show you, how you can manually focus or tap to focus while recording video with your xperia devices. It's the most important feature that Sony devices are lacking. Actually they didn't provide it directly. But the feature is provided indirectly
Here are the steps:
1. Navigate to "Manual mode" ( you can't do it with auto mode)
2. Navigate to video and go to "Options" (The 3 dot menu)
3. Go to "Focus mode" and select "object tracking"
4 Go to "Metering" and select "spot"
5. Turn "Steady Shot" off
Here is a video made by me showing how to do it and focusing in action
good tips
Gread dude thx

I'd love the inbuilt camera to have the ability to record timelapses using camera manual mode.
I can take great star shots and I'd love to be able to take multiple shots/timelapse automatically.
I'd even be happy to just have a bunch of shots taken automatically which I could assemble into a timelapse video on PC.
While I'm at it, manual shutter speed, let me set it between 1-30 seconds in 1 second increments, the jump from 15 secs to 30 secs is annoying.
Can non lg apps take control of the inbuilt camera app? Maybe possible one day?
use fv 5 camera from play store.it has an option for automatic timelapse.the paid version.

Hi, I've tried many apps to make photos with long exposure time, from fv-5 to freedcam and hedgecam, but in every camera exposure time always stops at 2 seconds. I've read that it's a software problem because MIUI version of A2 lite camera can go up to 32 sec. Now, I have camera2 api enable and I doesnt affect nothing. Aniway I found a mod of nokia camera by @linuxct (Im currently on 91.9.1130.40) that allows to shot 4 seconds, unfortunately without RAW. Here are some photos:
Apk?
im tried camera fv-5 (paid) and it work to take long exposure shot >16s with camera2api enabled by magisk module,,
but~ the image quality is poor~ not like the other phone,,

Are you sure it's long exposure and not image stacking? Cause for me it seems It only stacks images. I tried to take a photo with the lite version and with nokia camera, settings are exp time:4 sec, ISO:400, for both cameras. The brighter One Is nokia

This magisk module works on stock rom and evolution x, crdroid and lineage os this miui camera can shoot up to 32 seconds without anybug or problem and It's made for Mi A2 Lite.

Because its real shutter speed. Not the collection of images .

yup,
did the option for "force usage of legacy camera driver" is off? you can check it on
general setting > compatibility
it must on then your shutter speed option will not showing as scrolling, it will showing as manual input number. and it work on my a2 lite than scrolling mode.

Works perfectly! This Is what I was looking for, though It doesn't have RAW it's the best camera for long exposure I've tried so far. As soon as there will be a good night sky I will provide some photos

Yes I have It on and the seconds instead of the scrolling, but doesn't make a real long exposure, maybe it's because Im on lite version(?)
There we go

Of course, as mentioned already; using Camera2 API / HAL3 and the MIUI Camera's Manual mode is the better option.
You can otherwise get it working in FreeDCam, albeit with Camera1 API:
Turn off / remove Camera2 API and reboot
Confirm Camera1 API is in use by using Camera2 Probe, ensuring "Hardware Support Level" = LEGACY
Launch FreeDCam and re-run FeatureDetector
Set your image settings as desired, and turn OFF Zero Shutter Lag
Use Mode Pic, JPEG output. Swipe up from the bottom, and set the shutter to desired value in seconds
(optional, but recommended) Set ISO to ISO_HJR to get >ISO3200 in low light
39 seconds @ ISO12744 is the highest/most I can get. From 40s on there's some sort of wrap or restart from 0.

Are you on A2 lite? Because I tried your method but always stops at a 0.4sec
Edit: playing with settings and now magically works, lol. However the fact that you must use api 1 otherwise it crashes it's annoying, because RAW is only usable with api2
As we all know Huawei postprocessing sucks(oversharpening, overexposure, oversaturation, over-everything), that's why I'm making this Guide.
We will be using Huawei stock camera app to shoot RAW photos so if you know how to do that just skip to step 4.
<------------------------------------------------->
1. Open Camera, click on PRO.
2. Now open settings, click on resolution
3. Here enable RAW format
Now we are ready to start taking pictures.
4. Download Lightroom from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.lrmobile&hl=cs)
5. Import photos that you want, click on them and then save them (3 dots in the right corner)
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
That's it, pretty easy and all photos look 100 times better than with just auto mode with postprocessing.
Keep in mind that you need to shoot only using PRO mode to make this work.
Here are some examples of how postprocessing sucks compared to saved photo through lightroom(photos are zoomed in so you can see the details)
RAW - how it looks like straight from PRO mode
JPEG - how it looks like through AUTO mode
Hello,
I just got my Mi 9t Pro (K20 Pro) and i spent quite some time installing all the different GCAM modded apps and their settings. I think i found the sweetest spot so I thought to share it.
GCAM : HyperCam R5
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-jairo_rossi/
the settings file is also on the website, or different settings can be found on the "Profiles Cam" app, available on the Play Store
This makes really good pictures. I have very low noise levels and high details. This GCAM app is the best as it allows filming at 60 fps even if slow-mo and 48 mpx shots will still require the main app. But the 48 mpx shot aren't good at all. Hopefully the camera will be enhanced with MIUI 11....
But for MIUI 11 (Android 10) it is now a nightmare to get a working gcam. I am open to any suggestions
Are the settings to apply or? How do i apply if yes

- First, go into the gcam settings, and find the "save settings" parameter. Save the current settings with any name. this will create a folder in the phone memory
- Place the downloaded setting file in Internal Memory/GCAM/Configs where you will also see the setting you just created.
- Open Gcam again, double tap next to the shutter button, and you will be prompted with a popup to select my setting file.
Does that make sense ?

I can't find the save settings option with the APK that you provided.

Weird. what happens when you double tab on the right of the shutter button, between shutter button and gallery shortcut ?
Ooops
Sorry all.
I posted the wrong link to the gcam app. the thread has been edited now
Yes now i can save settings and also double tap between the two buttons brings up the configuration selection

it's ok. Had to change few settings here and there.
It's a Pixel 2XL apk?

Not sure what anos means, but hdr + enhanced does not bring a lot compared to standard hdr+ if the amount of frames is not set to high .
You can also change the number of frames for hdr plus enhanced. That is up to everyone. I put it to 20 frames because if not it is better to use standard hdr.
Both auto.
1. OP's Gcam https://i.ibb.co/6Pb01tX/IMG-20191021-211044.jpg
2. Stock https://i.ibb.co/fq2Xxfw/IMG-20191021-211054.jpg
Details are better but the noise is a problem in certain areas.
With small tweaks here and there we can perhaps get rid of it.

If you find time can you check version 7+. I'm really struggling to find a reason to use gcam over stock except for version 7 astrophotography.

Indeed it is always a compromise between noise and flattening. I hate the flattening of the stock camera. But for me the noise levels are more than acceptable with gcam and Pixel 2 xl basic setup

In the setting of gcam you can find the HDR + parameters. I set it to 20 because if not it makes no difference with the "standard" HDR. You can lower the value but I think you better use the standard HDR and keep this one to 20 for when you have time.

The stock camera flattens terribly the pictures and a lot of details are lost. The color temperature isn't great. Also the green colours are oversaturated.
Here is a picture taken in a Not-so-bright place. The level of noise is more than acceptable in my opinion. Just make sure you emulate pixel 2Xl in the settings. This should be part of the config file but we never know.
Hello. the application is really not bad. I find it unfortunate that we can not use the 48 MP. Small tip, for the use of night mode, please use a small infrared lamp "$ 10" you can believe me that the result is simply surprising.

Yes it would be really interesting to see the result of the 48 mpx with gcam. Maybe it'll be possible soon...
Thanks for the gcam and settings. On a side note..does anyone elses k20 heat up while using gcam?
