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.

These settings were not changed by OP from 5 - they still show telephoto..

The [wide] one is the main camera, and the [telephoto] one is secondary.

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?

Is there a way to use 20mpx camera when using arnova Gcam?

No. Only OP5 users can switch to tele lens.

Ok but, anyway, is 20mpx camera exploited by gcam to get better photo in some way or only the 16mpx cam is used in every situation so 20mpx is never "powered on"?

In OOS 20MP camera is used only in auto mode and portrait to detect depth. It shoots 20MP photo then magic OP software interpolate it to lower res to "improve quality and decrease noise" and then i don't know why, extrapolates that image back to 20MP. If i'm right it is written in camera HAL so we can't do nothing with it... Test it by Yourself, just type *#*#1597#*#* in dialer and take photo with "tele" and "wide" in sunny day.
I'm not sure 100% about it, correct me if i'm wrong.

Dialer? Why using dialer to take photo?

@rmroot You use dialer to input this code I wrote earlier. It opens camera app which now allows You to switch lenses manually.

Manual Shutter speed for Galaxy A50 - Front & Rear - Image & Video, both.

[Getting Dark videos under lowlight ? Well, No more !]
》 You can use Manual Shutter speed after getting into manual mode.
》 You can use the Manual shutter speed for both front & rear camera's.
》 Manual shutter speed can slso be used while recording front & rear camera video's.
》 4k video rec availabe at rear camera with manual shutter speed.
》 Higher resolution front camera video when compared to stock camera.
》 You can record video in wide mode in front camera.
Tips :
1) Turn on Camera2api in the settings.
2) While using front camera, Double tapping the camera switch changes the front camera into it's wide mode.
3) Use 4k rec under low light for much better exposure.

Thanks . It works flawlessly

It does a pretty good job filming in the dark, indeed. But there seems to be no noise reduction at all in manual mode?

Great. What is the lowest shutter speed available?

• External implementation of noise reduction algorithms require level_3 support of ca2pi.
• Enabling the same isn't in my domain of development nor the developer's.
• A system developer needs to work on camera2api fix on galaxy A50 on system side.
• After that, you can also use my modded Gcam for A50 here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/themes/google-camera-samsung-galaxy-a50-t3907288/page15
》How come manual shutter speed is available without camera2api? Why doesn't Google camera work yet ?
• OEM's like Samsung, Huawei etc tend to use their own API's for various purposes over/with Pure Api's from Google.
Hence, even due to limited functionality of pure Api's, various functionalities still can be enabled by Oem's, eg. Manual controls etc.
• Gcam natively requires pure Api's of Google, eg. Camera2api, etc.
Hence there's no other workaround for gcam.
Cheers !

[GCAM] Working GCAM Mod

MOTP-EDGBLK - UK Single SIM model.
Finally found a working GCAM Mod - port Nikita.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-Nikita/
Working: Partial
Tested with NGCam_7.4.104-v1.6 (Nikita, 2020-09-13)
Auxiliary Cams (Wide+Macro)
Slow motion 1/4 and 1/8
Sabre Working
HDR/HDR+, Night Sight and Portrait Mode for BACK CAM and Selfie Cam
Panaroma / photosphere / playground.
Video - upto 4k @30fps / 1080p @60fps
Not Working - update 24th Sep 2020: Ultrawide camera takes blurry pictures with HDR+ on or HDR+ Enhanced on. TURN OFF HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced to avoid blurry pictures.
Bugs: Selecting 4k video with 60fps setting renders the "video" portion of the app unusable and you cannot revert the setting. The only fix is to clear the app's cache. Seems like a hardware limitation as the Moto EDGE is only capable of recording [email protected]
Attached my custom XML.
Enabled auxiliary cams (wide/macro with icons).
16:9 aspect ratio
Video 1080p @60fps
G-AWB and Sabre Enabled.

Works well thanks!

Better than that dumpster fire, they call Moto camera.

Silly me. Thanks a million

Can't use wide camera. Should I look for another version? Thanks!

The latest version 1.7 works great. With some tweaks to the settings (sorry OP), the wide angle and zoom work perfectly with both regular HDR and HDR enhanced. White balance is pretty good with some modifications and image clarity + sharpness is a lot better.

Might need some better white balancing (I'm colourblind so I struggle with that) but everything else is pretty good. Using the latest Nikita here.

Agreed and thanks a million. Working like a charm. By far the best gcam option for now.

Question. Should the Moto camera tuner be disabled? Could interference from this, distort the results? I have my tuner enabled, would it make a difference?

FYI/PSA: The everything works config posted isn't working in the latest update 1.9, crashes. But app overall seems to be working well. I haven't played with configs too much before, but if I land on something I'm happy with, will share.

Ok, so i will be testing th 1.9 update - any configs which work good with Moto Edge?
Stock camera app dissapointed me so much

Using the version Nikita 2.0, of 104, with configs. Getting better, but is this the final version?

yes I understand that you use the latest version. But I'm asking about a config (.xml file), that works good with Moto Edge. There are configs for Moto Fusion+, G7 Power etc, but no Edge, so I assume that I need a config that has the same lenses as Edge (64, wide angle, telephoto and TOF).
Can you just show me what config you use, that works so well? Or you have your own? When I download 2.0 and have 3 options below (3X, 1X and 4X)
-3x is probably telephoto
-1x is main lens
-4x is wide angle (?) which just freezes and doesn't work

Anything on advancement? I'm using 8.1 of this app.

Thanks!
All working except Video for me - doesn't matter if i choose 30fps or 60fps, when i go Video is just close the app.

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.
