As I'm big photography fan, I use my Xperia Arc to take photos. Photos are very live and colors are very vivid, but I have some problems with camera, I have focus problems while taking video, when I press cam button it wont focus that minute it needs some time, about 10 secs to re-focus, as for Auto focus as for Face Detection in any scene mode. In additon I'm looking for BURST mode, because I managed to take photos of lightnings with my C905 and this phone has very slow camera, I'd ask to improve the driver somehow. And anyone would edit camera driver so we could change the iso and other options it would be great. Please suggest anything , maybe application or something. Thanks in advance.!
You may use this app, it's just like BestPic..
Pick Pic Camera
Arc or any android phone doesn't have camdrivers like that of C905.. If manual controls were possible, we would have seen it by now.
Check out this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro . It's paid, but you can adjust ISO, custom exposure, save in PNG and some more. Don't know if some options work, but I tried it with longer exposure (10 secs, under very bad light) and while I got a black photo with stock camera, this got me something a bit better. But there is a lot of color loss with custom exposure (the pics turn out pinkish on the places where there's light).

That doesnt mean that we can adjust iso on our arc.
Try fast burst camera. Looks promising

Which application did you use eventually and you are able to take better looking photos?
I use Camera360 Ultimate - quite often, it takes full resolution photo, not HD or Full HD that's one of the reasons I use it.
you can also use lgcamera (not LG related). there is a thread in the app section
^^ +1 to that! Though I use it mainly for some custom video bitrate settings
Hello together,
I installed the CM10.a9 a few weeks ago on my HTC One X and till now I was missing / unable to find two functions.
The first thing is, that you normally can take pictures while recording movies (both in HD), but I could not figure out, how to do this in this particular mod. The second problem is, that I didn't found a way taking multiple pictures with just one click. I know that I was able to do this under the original firmware with just holding the button.
Are these features not implemented yet or am I just too blind to find the functions?
Kind regards,
NyphoX.
PS: Sorry for my bad english.
Those features aren't present in the stock cm camera; you'll need to use an alternative camera app if you want those functions. LGcamera allows you to take photos while filming, and also has a burst mode (although you have to select that mode rather than just hold the shutter button to automatically activate). I'm sure other camera apps will give you similar functionality, I don't really use either function so I've not looked to much into it.
Thanks for the quick reply, I think I have to look for a good camera app now.
Is there a plan to implement those features in the future or will it be not integrated in the CM-Camera app?
hello, as you know our phone doesnt focus like other phones (video of g3 for example: https://youtu.be/Au3zABq9bD4?t=110 )
do you know any camera app that will use the flash to focus and then take the picture? (instead of just using it to take the picture without ever focusing...).

well , u can use " lgcamera " app.. search on play store without spaces and quotes
thank you! it works... but not so well. i mean you have to keep pressing on the screen to focus (it doesnt do it automatically with the camera button) and after the first focus you have to press the AF symbol to make it autofocus again (with the flash ofc).
its not very good but i will use it in hard spots where its a must!
if anyone has anything else please share it!

Yeah it has this problem and is buggy and laggy , its pics aren't as good as stock etc etc.. But its the only one with flash assisted focus..
You can use focal. In focal you can turn on your flash in a flashlight mode, and then it lights permanently!
i use camera 360 for that! (many camera apps do what you say). the bad thing with that is that you will blind everyone xD
Good day, users. I apologize in advance for my bad English. I'm not a native speaker. I was faced with some features of the device. if you turn on the camera, select the manual mode and manually select ISO, then selecting the manual shutter speed, the camera starts to lag hopelessly. The greater the exposure, the greater the lag. At the same time if you select auto ISO, the stop lags. Only I have a problem?
P. S OxygenOS 3.2.1
Noticed that to but I think the display is showing you what you have selected e.g if you select a 4 second shutter it will display 4 second lag on the display. I know its sounds odd and my g4 does not do this but I think one plus are doing this on purpose maybe ? I could be totally wrong and I don't like it also but am sure it's showing a preview of what is going to really happen ?

I searched this question and found the same answer. It's really not cool. I think it can be fixed(Maybe in CM or custom camera driver). I have Meizu Pro 5 and it's have more comfortable behavior like your G4.
Basically title, picked it up today, using it as my daily driver now.
Gratz!
1. Can you record more then 5 mins in 4K60?
2. Does changing to HEVC degrade IQ, or make the video not stop at 5 min if it does?
3. How hot does the phone get on both settings after 5 mins or more?
4. Does zooming ~5x or more, affect quality less then on the other phones ( i have noticed this on some videos) or the quality is the same?
6. Can you turn off video stabilization - eis, and test out 4K30 vs 4K60, and see which one is better quality? what are their bitrates?
7. Did you have S8/N8 before, is it noticable faster then the S8/N8 (with Oreo?)
Thanks

1 - Nope :/
2 - Did not see any difference in quality from the phone - but it does not remove the 5 minutes limit
3 - It is fine - however it runs hot after a while
4 - I never zoomed in other phones, but it seems normal ?
5 - No noticeable difference in quality between 30 & 60 fps in 4k, beside the lack of calibration - so it is not like in the iPhone
6 - I had S8, and it seems a tad faster ? But I might still be provisioning as of now, so let's wait a couple of days for that

- any improvements on the screen/display quality over the S8 - or was that display mate just a paid-hype PR piece
-let us know about battery
-what changes to S8 did you noticed (besides the ones they've added in like camera. emoji )
thx

The screen is awesome. Never seen anything like this before.
In a few days yes.
I have the midnight black version - the aluminium is painted in matte black instead of the glossy one now
The fingerprint sensor is super quick, but registration process is weird, it asks you to swipe your finger instead of lift and touch again - just worth noting.
Speakers are super good and super loud.

you said: The screen is awesome. Never seen anything like this before.
you also said you had the S8
i know the S8 screen was/is really good (bar the issues they had with the red/blue taint)
in what ways is the s9 display better than the s8 - sorry for being so anal - but i was always interested :fingers-crossed:
the most important question does it have unlocked bootloader and aosp support ?

The screen seems to be more under your fingers. Also it gets incredibly bright, and calibration out of the box is awesome.
Also the area where it curves is no longer of a different tint.
The color seems a tad more punchy, but that might be just the wallpaper that I use.

The attachment should answer your first question.
that's is a great start, I'm looking very close to find out if this phone supports easy aosp.

I'm hoping that since the S9 has Treble support, it'll be getting some AOSP love. If so, I'm definitely getting it.

All phones that come with Oreo are required to support Treble. Since the S9 comes with Oreo, it supports Treble.
OP could confirm by running the following command in an adb shell: getprop ro.treble.enabled

Can you test the taken videos 4K30 vs 4K60 on pc to get better idea, on mobile display everything looks amazing - or upload some short ones uncompressed during normal movement?
Do you have any phone to compare the digital zoom with? example 3x on both phones during recording?
You mean lack of stabilization?
Also, if you change settings in pro mode, and use it last, does the same mode/setting launch if you use the double click on power button? (will the camera launch in pro or auto mode?)
Thanks alot
1. What are the settings for the ordinary slow mo mode? Is it 1080p @ 240fps?
2. Can you change the aperture in pro mode WHILE recording video?

I wont have time to check the bitrates and the quality on PC, so I will just reply to what I can from there
Yes I mean no stab in 4k60, and yes the same mode opens if you double tap the power button, but only sometimes, or on some specific mode (?)

What I meant was, if i open pro mode, and make some tweaks, and I close the camera.
Will the camera launch in pro mode when I double press the power button, or the auto mode is launched? If the auto mode is launched, does changing the mode in it, stick or when you double press power it's all on stock? Thanks!

I'm sorry dude, but I must be sure you understand me, this is very important to me.
I open pro mode, and set shutter speed to 3 seconds, or I adjust white balance and then I close it the camera app from memory.
Then i double click on power button, does the camera then opens in pro mode with the settings adjusted or its pro mode but on stock- with nothing changed?
