Question on motion photos - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

What is the difference between the motion photo settings? I set it to auto and it didn't seem to work. I had to set the option to "on" for motion photo to work.
What is motion auto suppose to do?

Funny I have mine on Auto and it always turns on, even when taking a photo something still like a note.

What is your HDR setting? I found that if HDR is applied, motion is disabled

I do have HDR on. I'll check that out. Thanks.

[Q] Gallery Photos Darker Than When Viewed in Camera App?

Has anyone else noticed that the photo is fairly bright when you tap the little icon in the Camera app, but then if you tap again and go to Gallery it darkens?
Is it the same as the issue affecting the Galaxy S II's?
Anything we can do about it?
Thanks to any and all for information...
Yep same thing happens here. It's really annoying, everything looks so dull in the gallery app.
bump...
Any thoughts from people more versed in Android/Code than I?
Yes I noticed as well. Looked for a setting in both the camera and the gallery to control brightness, as far as I can tell there isn't one.
Actually it seems to be the screen brightness which is set to maximum when in camera app, and gets back to normal/auto when anywhere else.
A nasty bug, really.

Yeah I have been too thanks. It seems (from other comments and threads) that at least part of the issue is that the Camera app ramps up the brightness for the viewfinder and in the quick view, but the Gallery resorts to the overall system brightness.
I don't know that I buy this though because there are subtle tone and image quality differences. I think brightness is part of it, but something else seems to be going on (jpeg compression maybe?)...

You're right. When I set the screen brightness to max instead of auto, I do not notice any difference when switching from camera preview to gallery.
Not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' though.

Hmmm I don't notice any tone difference. For me it was the brightness setting.

Agreed I just tried that and it does work better than when I just unchecked auto, shame we can't have the Gallery app scale it up automatically or by default like the Camera. I'd say it was meant to be a battery-saving feature, but I'd rather be able to show off good-looking pics at the times when I wanted to view them.

Outdoor pics are fine (on max brightness), but indoor pics seem to lose a little "warmth" when "darkened" for the gallery, and the "fineness" of the image seems just slightly reduced (more noisy)...
It could be my imagination too though...

Call it a nasty feature, then
I use Llama to automate the brightness. When the camera app or the gallery app is the active application set brightness to 100%. When gallery app and the camera app are not active set the brightness to Auto.
You can obviously add any other apps you might want to have those settings apply to as well.
I would hardly call it a bug. If anything it is smart.
If you are taking a picture in low light, auto brightness is dim, possibly too dim to see any detail. Having the camera at Max brightness ensures you are seeing what the picture will look like, rather than guessing.

[Camera] Some options not availble

On my S 8.4 some camera options are greyed out?!

Anyone comments on that?

Full screen display is activated when you change picture size to 6mp. Save as hdr mode is activated when you change the camera mode to hdr (rich tone), and iso is activated when you are in full auto mode.

Click on the mode button which is situated next to the camera shutter button, then you will get a list of modes to choose from, Auto, beauty face, etc etc. You can also download a couple more from Samsung appstore using this menu.
Hope this helps.

S9 default aperture

Hello
I just noticed that camera aperture is set default to f/1.5.
Wonder if there's a way to change it. Believe it leads to impaired photos in 3rd party apps.
Change it in Pro mode under the shutter setting

Well, i didn't mention. Agree it works well in stock camera app but im talking about 3rd party software like instagram, snapchat. Aperture stays always open.

Is it possible to enable HDR for selfie camera pictures?

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]

Question Customize app aspect ratio option removed?

Fold 3 have customize aspect ration for individual app like 16:9 etc but i cant find the same option in labs on fold 4
Anyone have a work around for this issue?
It's in the normal settings now. It should say that in Labs
If I may ask, what apps do you have the aspect ratio set for? And to what?
I pretty much have all app set to fullscreen. Except instagram which i think is a 4:3 native
