Honor 8 pro Camera in low light - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, I've been using the H8pro for quite few days now. I bought the phone for its camera capability. Though it takes excellent photos in regular conditions, I'm depressed to see the results in low light which equals the quality of a 3mp Nokia's cameras of yesteryear's. Any advice on how to use camera in low light. My Nikon d300s is too heavy to carry around hence this was a easy substitute but leave aside the low light capability

Auto focus is never recommended. Even in dslrs. I wish some update came up for enhancing camera

Maybe capturing raw image (pro mode) will help. That way you can edit them later.

That wouldn't help if the subject motion blur is present.

It is simply because the lack of OIS

More than the low light, I feel they should improve the daylight performance of the camera.
In daylight, the dynamic range and color balance is great but I feel the images aren't as sharpened as I would like them to be.

Yes, but it won't do much like OIS, however I hope it will be better in the future.

That's personal opinion and it will differ.
But there can never be a situation where one can't improve something and so I feel they can improve the camera through software a bit more.

Quality camera

Hello
I'm going to buy this phone. but I've heard various descriptions of quality mobile photography ( Elephone p8000)
I need to have a few pictures under various conditions
I finished so I can take your pick.
Please take a few photos taken with a camera in here to share in different lighting conditions
Thank you

I can tell you that the camera is good in the daylight but very poor for low light?
Oh yeah... The macro is terrible(read no macro) since the 05112015 update till today. Except from that the phone is very very very good. Especially if you have Eragon custom rom! But if the camera is no. 1 thing for you buy m2 or wowney...

Pretty much this.
Camera takes pretty OK pictures in good light, terrible pictures in low light and doesn't macro well.
If you are looking for a good and reliable camera, you should look elsewhere (and spend more, most likely).
Camera is decent for a China mobile phone.
Sometimes the edges are a bit blurry but it's okay.
And in my opinion low light pictures are decent as well.
I mean it's the same sensor as the one inside the Galaxy S4 but the software is not well adapted to the sensor with our P8000.
Look at THIS POST HERE
I have no issues with Macros at all. Not with the "workaround" and not without. :good:

The phone has quality problems. The camera is slow (focus lock) and failed while using apps like Whatsapp.
The operating system loader has bugs.
Im using Eragon and HTC camera app. I can beautiful pictures. But to focus takes a little long. I'm hoping Android marsmellow release from elephone brings some improvement. But I definitely recommend this phone but only if you use a custom ROM it's so much beter then the stock ROM

Hello mate,
Have you taken this from Elephone P8000? The pics are amazing. Which camera app and which rom and kernel. I won't get anything even close even if I jump from a building .
Can you please help us amateurs to calibrate settings to get such pics.
Thanks,
Good app i Snap Camera. You have options like in digital camera. I've use from copule of weeks and in my oppinion is much better than orginal stuff.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus X come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

What do you mean? Did you flash something to improve camera quality? Do tell please.
I'm happy with stock quality though. Especially the manual controls. I usually take pictures with the less ISO possible and prefer to take dark pictures and then fix them up in Snapseed.

Yes manual mode does wonder. Though you can improve camera quality with Sultan's camera HAL, you won't be able to use manual mode , that is the reason I am not using it. See my click using manual mode

Sultan's Custom Rom & Camera.
Thought I would share some of my shots.
Basically if you use manual mode and know your way though light editing in Photoshop you are good to go
Note that those are somewhat compressed and not max resolution
Taken with my OnePLus X.
The video is very bad : low framerate and some color issue, mostly in the dark.
With the Flash :

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus)'s camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The phone is simply awesome except the camera if we get camera 2 api enabled it will be unbeatable....

There is no hope or chance from Lenovo to get any official Oreo ROM. This is confirmed by Lenovo via their update matrix page.
In a sense that is a good thing, since the biggest con / down side of this phone is the ZUI ROM. I have used many low-end hardware before with poor ROM buy nothing compares to ZUI.
Hope more and more developers buy this handset. Out standing hardware at 1/3rd of price of nearest competition. And they do give us some good Oreo based ROMs
The camera is not that great. I have used mi4 before and this camera make me feel disappointed. But it's not a rubbish camera. Its takes an effort to get good pictures. Camera 2 api + gmod5 camera is giving some great results on aex 5 rom. But it probably is because of the algorithms than the camera
Everyone, please rate bad if you know a bit of photography. Try using a manual camera app and set ISO and shutter speed manually and then report. No stock OEM focuses on camera. Try manual and then report
Please suggest few camera app you feel I should try with my Z2 plus

Hardware wise camera is fine. But on software side , Stock zui camera app is very poor. A lot of noise and very less detail even in broad daylight photos. Dont expect anything from its low light shots. But with google camera app, it can capture very high quality photos with high level of detail even in low light shots.
So if you shoot a lot of photos and know how to unlock bootloader and do android stuff, you can go for it very well. Else this phone is not for you!

Hey nice one! It would be good a comparison as I saw already an article where it seems unfortunately the Leica color science didn't improved so much the device.
I have to update my post as I worked on DPreview more for the camera ones https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65295855
Overall anyway the quality is very poor.
Got my r6 today. No idea why but it seems to overheat 5-10 minutes after camera use. Not even video shooting - just taking photos (which are,to my regret, really bad compared to note 20 ultra). You ever witnessed this issue? Also,did you manage to find where to turn down refresh rate or is it locked at 240?
This phone is very interesting! May I ask about whether the phone is SIM-locked, whether it is easy to unlock, and whether there could be some issues using it in Europe?

Hey, do you notice flickering on the screen especially on lower brightness? Also do you notice blue tint also on low brightness?
dears,is there any way to root this phone ?
So I have an Aquos R6 - the color science seems off - bluish tinge that can easily be corrected with even google photos. Also the speakers for ringtones and notifications seem really bad but watching apps like HBO Max seem much better. But no settings I can find.

Question Is my camera working correctly?

Hi guys,
weird question I guess: How do I know my cam is working as intendend?
Tried the CRDroid-ROM, worked great, then I noticed my Cam (Gcam-mod) only does 12,5MP-shots in every mode at max.
Thought it was the ROM, now back to a wiped clean Factory February-image from Google. Yet exactly the same but with way less options.
Still only 12,5MP and compared to my other phones it's not even better. Considering I bought the P6P mainly because of the camera it's a bit of a let-down.
I thought it was 50, 48 and 12,5MP.
Am I too dumb to see my error here or what's up with it?
Thanks for your time.
The camera converts all shots to 12.5 mp. Samsungs does this too. Its false marketing.

Ah! So it does have the physical resolution it marketed but uses that as an antialiasing-kinda-thingie for downsampling? So I'm questioning my sanity for nothing and it's all fine? DAMN

Correct. They use Pixel Binning. That is completely normal behavior. As someone else mentioned Sammy does the same thing.

This actually is false.
You have an option in the camera settings of the Samsung S21 ultra that allows you to take 108mp shots. Full res. They're huge files. But they're awesome when you need all the detail in great lighting. I was SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED that there is NO OPTION to change the Pixel 6 Pro to 50MP. In my book it's still a 12mp camera, which really SUCKS when wanted the bigger picture...
Ok didn't know
