Camera: Manual mode lagging

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.

Google Camera is finally here people ??

Yes you read it correct our long wait is over now. Now we too can enjoy the amazing processing of gcam. Everything works like a charm and there is a significant improvement in the quality. I'm sure this will get better as this is obiously an early build.
And it's not the pixel 2 camera but it's the pixel 3 one!..
Here's what works:
*Portrait mode on both front and back cams(only on humans)
*HDR+, HDR+ enhanced
*Panorama (super glitchy for now)
*And pretty much everything else
*Night mode ( slight improvements only)
*Photo Sphere
Here's what doesn't work:
*Live Google lens
At first the images will look dead.So after you install it you need to increase the saturation. Go to settings , bsg mod settings , saturation and change saturation of front and back cam.
Literally all the credit goes to @xdaakhil for digging this up. If you want to thank someone thank him.
Well my thanks button is down there too ?
Working on :
Honor 9 Lite
Honor 7X
Honor P Smart
Mate 10 Lite
P20 Lite
Honor 6x
keep testing
Edit: video and photos sphere works after changing the default storage to internal. Don't know why it doesn't work with the SD card?
Photo sphere is also very buggy
Photos cannot be clicked without enabling HDR+ or HDR+ enhanced.
There is a pinkish tint on highlights. This can be overcome if you guys focus on the lit(highlights) part by tapping on the viewfinder.
This port can work without root or any modifications.

All photos were taken indoors in relatively low lights. So considering that it's pretty cool. Just wish the video gets fixed soon.

? Don't know why that happened. Try downloading it again.

To those of you who who don't know why portrait only work on humans:
Gcam doesn't utilise the secondary camera that comes with the device as pixel phones have a single lens setup. The portrait is completely software based. You can check this, cover the secondary lens and click a portrait pic, it'll work!
This is also very useful as we will get good quality blur and edge detection like flagships in our budget phones as the software processing is the same in both apps.
So the camera cannot detect Dept between the subject and background as it only uses one lens.

Hello,
please, tell me, did you find optimal settings of gcam for our phone? Saturation and HDR+? I am testing it but I am not finding the perfect combination yet.

Well im also a bit confused about the perfect match.
But this is what I use:
Pixel 3 as the input method in both front and rear cams(for the super res zoom to work)
Saturation, rear cam highlights 2.7 shadow 2.9
Front cam highlights 2.2 shadow 2.6
Tweak around yourself but I couldn't get the cam to take a picture like it is shown in the viewfinder and the skin tones are better in the viewfinder than the final photo ( the details are far better though)

Thank you Fredin. I will test it.

Been lurking for a while, just registered to say thanks, works nicely the difference is pretty big! Panoramic mode is slow and buggy for me but photosphere does the same thing anyway and works well, lastly, is the RAW picture supposed to look really low resolution like it does for me?

It's working on P Smart as well, will be testing more tomorrow.

It's good to know that you guys find it useful but it's been digged up by @xdaakhil I don't want to steal his work, I just

Anyways thanks guys. Keep testing

Yeah the raw shots do look like it's of low quality(don't know why). But since this build wasn't built for us this is really good.
Only if someone ports the camera for Kirin devices.
Anyways good to hear from you.

I'm not sure as slow motion recording requires hardware support which our phones dosent have.
Normally phones (including ours) records in 30 or 60 fps which is good for taking normal videos but not for slow-mo recording. All the apps you see in playstore just slows down the fps and processes them to slow the video down, but this causes quality loss and an artificial feel to it.
So I don't think we will be about to get slow motion working.

Yup, its working on my honor 9 lite like boom but 1 thing I would like to ask is that it supports any image stabilisation or not.

Main camera distortion

Using Global version 11.0.6.0.
I notice that the main camera, even at 1x setting, produces quite a bit of pincushion distortion at the edges. Furthermore, in 0.6x wide angle, the distortion is severe and not at all helped by turning on the correction setting.
None of the camera reviews for the RN8P mention this, so I am wondering if there is a defect in my device.
Any thoughts?

I tried it and I don't see any clear improvement over the built in app, either with distortion or with the photo quality itself. In fact the native app 64 mp mode is much clearer
I admit that I haven't bothered with using the xml file, in the past I haven't found that its worth the effort...

Only when I use the "enhanced HDR+" is there a difference, but that's like night mode where it takes a few seconds to take the shot
I saw a youtube review and comparison using this version and the stock app. The reviewer perhaps could see the difference (pixel peeping), but it was not obvious to me

Question Gcam for Edge X30 / Edge 30 Pro / Edge Plus 2022 (Working Night Mode, Face Retouch + Config File)

Hi All,
This may be the best Gcam version for Edge X30.
I created the config file to make everything work flawlessly.
1. Face retouch working for all cameras
2. Night sight is also working
3. Tweaked the post processing a little to brighten up the shadows but still keep the exposure the same (no overblown highlights)
Install Gcam and load config file.
Let me know what you think or if there is any improvement required with the

Working great here, only 60 fps video is lag.

Will this work with the moto edge 30 pro? Its the global version of edge X30.

@aniketk1 , works on Moto Edge 30 Pro without a problem.

would it be ok to try this on the edge plus 2022? thanks

What about the new Edge 30, will it work? I don't wanna brick the phone... Thanks in advance

How do I move the options arrow toggle thing? Almost entire convered by the pin hole front cam, took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit to figure out how to get to the camera settings

Thank you a lot for providing this XML file. However, I would like to know if there is any way to enable the Macro feature (available in the original Moto camera). I've tried modifying the configuration, with manual Focus and activating the Third Axilliary Camera (which resulted b/w, by the way) but I couldn't achieve it.
If someone has any info about that, or another config, I would be extremely grateful!
PS: I have an Edge 30 Pro

I have the same problem with selfies, but they tend to be reddish for me. Too many problems, at the end I've switched back to the original Moto camera, I always shoot in Professional mode and I'm currently satisfied of the results

Yeah the pro mode is actually great! I was just trying to get good hdr raw files from the gcam, I got used to my now dead Mi 10T Pro, it had a great camera, but was worse than this in everything else :')
I just reloaded the config file and the photos seem better on the normal cameras. Selfie cam has purple/reddish on the border of the image.

The app works very well! The only problem I encountered is that trying to use the ultrawide sensor in video mode, the app crashes.
Using moto edge 30.
Any way I can fix?
Thanks!

Easy fix. Go to Settings > Advanced > Black Level
Back Camera - auto
Front Camera - off

I also have another problem, in astro mode it doesn't do long exposures, is there a way to make it do long exposures?
On my Xiaomi Mi10T Pro it could do astro photography with multiple long exposures and it could take arround 2min.
Also even on my older Lenovo P2 it could do 10sec long exposures.
Please help, I wanna put this mediocre camera up to its paces

Hey just wanted to point out, if you have the video in I believe 60 frames per second, if you switch to the front camera, then back to the main shooter, it causes the program to crash.
Not sure if that's caused by my lack of knowledge of where to put the config file, I just saved a random config, and copied over what was posted in this thread into that folder, then deleted the one I created.

Guys, can you post some Night Sight pics taken with Gcam and Edge 30 phones?

Question Really no fix for HDR/DV dark scenes?

I was really satisfied with tablet until I started to watch DV and HDR movies (netflix, hbomax, plex). Searching internet and I could not find nothing to get rid of "ultra" black dark scenes in videos.
Is there any app that would change gamma of video or something like that?
I'm so disappointed that I'm looking which tablet should I buy and sell this one ... wrote to Xiaomi via email and via system bug report and no solution, it seems they really don't care for us - users of this tablet ...
Anyone with some "solution" out there?

I am using kodi + netflix plugin to force SDR streams
It takes some effort to set up and you lose some of netflix functionality (like downloads)
I think there's also similar plugins for other services (disney+, HBOmax, etc) but I have not personally tried them
It's a shame because xiaomi keeps marketing this device as Dolby Vision capable but we have to look for workarounds to disable this "feature"
Hopefully they will fix it if we provide enough reports, and now that the device got released in India it's expected to get more attention because it's a big market for Xiaomi

I'm also looking for this from weeks but no luck. We have to wait if Xiomi will fix this via update or we have to accept and start using as it is.
For the new tablet, you won't get any tablet in this price range which can beat mi tab 5 performance (except DV and HDR issue) if you want to wait then check realme tab having 870 processor and same specifications as mi pad 5.

Maybe new lenovo, but cost more

there is no fix for this, the screen is ips

Go to Advanced tools -> Video toolbox and add apps to video toolbox. Now when you open any added app, you will see a pill at top left corner. Drag it and select different styles of scenes. One of those styles disables HDR.

That's not true at all. There's not a single option that disables HDR, they only apply filters to the apps you chose. HDR is on a system level and it cannot be disabled at this moment.
Toolbox might help if you chose the "Outside" style, but still crap with black/dark content.

Yeah my thought exactly
People are saying this is an ips panel, display does not have enough brightness, etc.
Companies have been doing HDR on cheap displays for years
The ultimate goal of HDR is having better details in dark scenes.
You can still achieve this even if the display is ips or have average brightness, but you get the side effect of somewhat duller colors
But what I see on the Mi Pad 5 is definitely some kind of a software bug or miscalibration, because it does the exact opposite of HDR, it destroys scene details bright or dark
You can throw all the brightness in the world on this and it's not going to fix it

the problem is because the price, if you xiaomi change it with an amoled screen it will easily be 100$ more. your best bet is just sell your tab 5 now and buy a lenovo p11 pro with weaker processor but better screen.

and problems all the way, read their forums, it doesn't look good.

It is a SW issue. DV and HDR is fine with just player and mpv-android. It just doesn't work on streaming platforms.
It's also weird that people point out it's only 500 nits. Many laptop displays, ipads, imacs etc have "only" 500 nits too and they do HDR and DV fine (by fine I mean no black crush issues). So xiaomi just needs to fix it asap.

I have created a post about it in the official miui forums
