These are typical settings for any camera that will accept manual settings.
White balance basically measures the color 'temperature' to get the most accurate colors possible.
ISO is light sensitivity. It can be altered from automatic for different lighting situations manually.
I believe metering is the location the camera will take a sample check for lighting level to give the best overall light balance for the WHOLE picture. For instance, center is default and if there were a lit light bulb in the center of the picture you are taking, it would correct the lighting of the entire photo just based on that area.

deff the type of answer i was looking for..so there is no optimal setting for those reasons, correct? is there a camera app that automatically attempts to set most options for best picture/results that anyone knows of our would recommend? thanks
ps. any thought from anyone on the auto contrast setting or any other important but not mentioned setting?

Typically, most of these settings are set to Auto to make it easy to take photos. Most amateur and pros will adjust the settings manually to get the best possible picture.
The settings can be changed manually to adjust for different environments.
I guess a good example would be a dimly lit room. You can take a picture with the flash and it may be an acceptable photo. However, if you know what settings to use (and it's a good quality camera), you do not need the flash and the quality of the photo will be completely different. This is also why you see professional photographers use several light stands to provide more indirect lighting because using a flash can wash out and cause unpleasant shadowing effects in photos.

Best Camera Features of the Honor 8X

Best Camera Features of the Honor 8X​
The Honor 8X's camera is way better than other shooters in the same price range. Try these features to get the most out of your Honor 8X camera.
1. Aperture Mode
The trick to creating a great wide aperture effect is having a phone with a great camera and software that can accurately differentiate background object from foreground objects. The AI NPU chipset makes all the difference in this area. The phone's ability to identify different objects and and use the dual-cameras to recognize depth, means the Honor 8X can create extremely effective aperture mode effects. Get creative with this mode and see what kind of shots your can get.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Portrait
Portrait mode is done extremely well on this phone. If it's your first time using portrait mode, know that it's basically your phone detecting the outline of your head/body and blurring the background. The quality of this popular effect comes down to your phone being able to accurately trace your face and remove it from the backdrop.
The Honor 8X''s large 16MP selfie camera lets you take really detailed selfies that look amazing. Try out the portrait mode with your selfie camera and you're going to be really impressed with the results.
3. AI Mode
AI mode was the main feature advertised in this phone. Toggle it on and try it out. It can really bring out the color in some of your shots. If you don't like the way the effect looks, you can toggle it off afterwards in your galley. I have this feature toggled on at all times, since there's really no reason not to. Your original image is always preserved without the AI, so you can get rid of it later on.
4. Video Format (H.265) (H.264)
You can choose the format in which your videos are encoded. You have the option of H.265 or H.264. The H.265 option will give you a more compressed video resulting in a smaller file size. The H.264 option is a less compressed format and will have slightly higher quality video.
Go to Video > Settings > Video Size > Format. to access this option.
5. Edit Your Camera Menu
With all the different camera modes built into the default camera app, it's nice to be able to customize which modes your have quick access to.
From your camera app, go to More > Edit then you can rearrange all of your different camera modes.

I am using Honor 8x front camera potrait is not good edge detection is not well algorithm..

I am using Honor 8x and Its camera is Lit.. :silly:

Stock Camera - Pro Mode

I think that the stock software attempts to boost shadow detail to the point that it sacrifices blacks and contrast. I also think the color temperature seems far too warm. While I'm sure Google Camera is the preferred solution, has anyone been using the "Pro Mode" with success? If so what tips do you have? What do your settings look like? What do you pre-set and what do you leave on automatic?
Here is how I have the manual controls set and so far I feel like I'm getting better pics. I still don't know the best settings for "metering" but I'm looking into it. Another note, I think that the images come out a bit less "processed" as well in Pro Mode.

Interested in same. Following.

Also interested, I tried using pro mode but noticed auto gave nicer pictures overall (with pro there was overexposure at light sources for example, or the overall balance was less good). But the auto/default pictures overall are a bit too bright to my liking, I also installed Camera FV-5 which has an RGB histogram option and the red seems overrepresented in there (I notice this mainly in house).
Might give it another try soon, it does remember the settings rigth?

Yes it remembers the settings. My initial issue was color temp. The whites on the stock software are simply not white. I made some adjustments and I'm much happier with the color temp a bit cooler. For example:

V30 Native Camera app great features, massive failure on texture detail

I love this phone and I am glad to have found the GCam port. I will let the pictures do the talking.
Image of a napkin texture using the Native camera app (using manual mode and "Noise reduction" set to OFF) versus the Gcam app.
Native App: Manual mode with Noise reduction off, HDR-off, and it still botches the textures. It never truly turns noise reduction completely off.

Gcam: Night and day on texture quality

Yes, the postprocessing on native app is terrible and I wish it could be completely turned off.

And yet the LG Camera is the most requested feature you can NOT get in custom ROMs.
Because GCam port is still too beta for most people. But on custom ROMs that's all you can use.
If you don't like LG camera, don't use it.

Yes, the LG cam app isn't going to compete, where that level of detail is concerned, with the Gcam Ports.
Keep in mind, the Google phones don't have exceptional lens quality, in some cases even inferior to other flagships. But what it does do better than most all other oem's is the HDR(+ enhanced etc). Have you tried any shot in 'night sight' mode? Talk about a lot of post processing!
That said, the LG app really can't be beat in some circumstances. One issue is the double click vol down to launch even when phone in sleep mode. I don't know of a way to change which app gets launched with that, so if needed to take a 'quick snap' of something... there's that.
Another is the Gcam ports don't do selfies very well. the front lens either has a green tint, doesn't seem in focus, etc. The LG cam does very well, and has the selection for 'normal lens' or 'wide angle' (even though all it's doing is cropping the only lens on the front - wide angle).
I'd summarize it thus: The LG Cam app is all around great for most pictures. The Gcam ports will do much better in certain circumstances, such as getting a 35mm SLR type result with your phone camera (but certainly not always - you still have to know how to compose a picture etc).
It really comes down to... what do u need?
Well... if I ever need a picture of a napkin, I know what to use Personally, I use both apps, whatever the circumstances call for.
Cheers

All what GCam does is some basic tweaking to the image. You can easily and very quickly do that by yourself with the stock editing tool and get even better results than GCam. You don't even need to shoot manual or RAW, auto mode is enough. Just try it
Except for night sight unfortunately, we do need it ? Sadly it crashes more times than it works ?
PS: looks like your "stock" napkin picture is out of focus. The camera can only focus effectively from a minimum distance, you need to back up a little more.

Have you enabled AWB?

Hello,
What is the version you are using, can you give me download link?
The only one I got orking was from SHAMIM but even then it freezes after a while if you install the cinfig file for the s22U.

I tried again and found a working version over here https://www.sammyfans.com/2022/05/22/download-gcam-mod-for-samsung-phones/.
I attached the files.
This version works when you install the attahced xml.
But I still cannot see the 3X and 10x zoom, it stays at 2x and 4x zoom.
But no colour problems as you have.

After some experimenting I have the 3x and 10x telephoto working. I'm using shamim v21 version of GCAM.
I can also takes pictures at 3x and 10x telephoto because the display show what I'm abut to photograph but the quality of the picture is not OK.
First of all the 3x and 10x telephoto.
This is just a matter of labels as the 3x and 10x work.
Go to settings - Additional settings - Auxiliary Cameras - Name for camera modules
enable names for aux lenses
set telephoto lens to 3x and ID4 lens to 10x
Second, show display at camera 1x, 3x and 10x
Go to settings - Advanced - Model Interface
For all the camera set the Pixel 3 (blueline) instead of Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
These settings may be saved in the profile files I found but then they are not loaded when importing. It's also possible they are not saved when saving the settings. But this is the way to overcome this for these settings.
Now the quality, video is ok, no banding but pictures are not, see included example, i tried a lot of settings but I do not get it right.
The pictures keep on having banding, if somebody can help me with that?

Thank to Pirpolo I found a solution.
You can find it on GCAM for Exynos
This is for shamim version? i do not know if you have the same settings for agc.
