Is there any application that allow us to use a manual focusing option? I saw that on MIUI camera and LG Optimus Black camera! it would be just amazing!
Nope, it just has the "Touch To Focus" option..
Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.

Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.
The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.
I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.

Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.
Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.
What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.
That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.
I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.
It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.

I went back and tested my camera in more depth.
When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?
Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?
I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.
Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.
4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.
Hi guys,
When taking selfies on the 3XL using the official app with HDR+ on, after post processing, the picture strethces the bottom and top parts of the image and stretches out faces and things unnaturally. Is there any way to disable this from happening (without disabling post processing)?
Selfies come out really unnatural with this.

This link is essentially what I'm talking about. Some users were able to fix the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the app but that doesn't seem to work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having problems with camera either. Try to open camera app and snap a quick shot with motion photo auto or on. Sometime my tap to snap doesn't even work. I need to tap a second time
My wife's got A50 and our selfie pics from the mountains were looking bad, the sky completely white etc. I checked the camera app settings and for some reason the possibility to enable HDR on the front camera is "greyed out" meaning it can't be switched on. What am I missing? Thanks for help.
HDR
All you have to do is go to the selfie camera and at the top it will say something like [3:4H] if it says [3:4H] change it to [3:4] it should then be in HDR if not turn it on in camera settings when you have changed it to [3:4]
I am trying to set my camera up as a temporary streaming option by mirroring my phone screen on my PC with the camera app. The obvious issue being all of the UI on the camera preview screen. I have tried some of the streaming apps, but they don't have all of the features of the stock camera app (like utilizing the wide-angle lens). Does anyone know if I am missing anything? Or is it just impossible?
