I searched and couldn't find mind help with this. I also searched the cyanogenmod bug system. It has been mentioned in the bug system but it was basically brushed off.
Anyhow, in the stock camera app the front facing camera is fine. But in some third party apps, for example: snapchat, it's distorted. Only with the front facing camera. (took a picture of a coin which is a perfect circle and it comes out as an oval.)
This is on the most current cm11 snapshot and was also in the previous snapshot. Any known fixes would be greatly appreciated.
Really? No one has a clue about this???
I installed the latest snapshot awhile ago and recently i noticed that HDR was taking really dark pics no matter what in the stock app, and then I noticed that the front facing camera doesn't work in 3rd party apps, and hdr doesnt work at all in 3rd party apps. They either take blank pics or crash the app I've been searching for days and i cant find a single fix nothing. I'm sorry i can't be of help, just wanted to let you know I've been looking and can't find anything
I have the exact problem OP is describing for a while now. I would love if someone had an answer.
Hello,
I just received my Oneplus 5T and noticed that while using snapchat the camera view seems to be heavily zoomed in. I wonder if there is a fix for this as it makes taking pictures more difficult and pretty annoying.
Thanks.
same issue here
Same here, what a craptastic app.
This issue was also in a community forum, a oneplus member said it would be fixed in a software update/it's a bug with oxygen os. I think it's due to the 18:9 aspect ratio, go to the camera app and select that ratio and it just zooms in on the 4:3. I think the same is happening with snapchat.
Yep. I've also reported it to Snapchat as well. (shrug).

Was that guy really an OnePlus employee? I didn't see any real verified sign in their profile. That or I just haven't used OnePlus forums enough to know.

Also noticed it happens in Instagram. Maybe I owe a snapchat an apology.
Snapchat and all other 3rd party camera apps are using 18:9 camera ratio and apparently Oxygen OS Camera isn't optimised well for the 18:9 ratio. It just zooms and crops in the pic. Try changing the ratio from 4:3 to 18:9 in the default camera app, you will get same result as Snapchat, both in front as well as rear camera. This is a major system bug in Oxygen OS.
OnePlus has said that they're releasing an update in early December that will bring major improvements to the camera. Hope that update fixes this issue too otherwise this is a major deal breaker.
Another camera disappointment by OnePlus.

Yep, mine is back in the box until a camera update arrives, then I will see if it's worth keeping or selling. Until then, I am breaking the Note 8 back out.
how good is snapchat on OnePlus 5T
Hi, I noticed that android phones have a tendency to lag whenever a snapchat video is taken. It can be seen particularly when an iPhone is used to view the android's snap. I was wondering if this is the same if the video is taken by a oneplus 5t?
Such an annoying bug! Absolutely hate this bug. I hold the phone so far away yet it's as though I'm holding the phone right near my face

Yep it's a known issue. Oneolus has fixed it on their end and all that Is left is for Snapchat it fix it. They are working togethor
Snapchat announced that the want to improve the Android experience by rebuilding the app.
Currently the android snapchat is just a dirty copy of iOS snapchat which sucks my battery really hard.
The problem is fixed now isn't it.

I am also on the latest softwares. Both the OOS and Snapchat version. But it is still the same, can you post comparisons between normal camera app pictures and Snapchat pictures?
Snap and normal camera app. Oos 4.7.5

The Problem of zoomed in photos is with Front cam not the rear one
Hi,
I have bought this device 2 days ago and it is very good, but I have a problem when it comes to the camera, let me explain.
When i take a picture with the camera app, the "preview" of that photo in the screen looks very bad, but after taking the photo it processes it and takes a good photo.
The problem is that when I try to take an instagram stories video, the video slows very much and the fps drop in the video. Also when i'm taking a photo with an instagram filter, it looks like the "preview" of a photo in the stock camera app, and it really looks with so bad quality, like it is a 3 megapixel camera, that also happens to me in snapchat, the quality is very poor taking a photo, and it seems like it doesn't process the image.
I don't know it that will be fixed enabling camera2 api (but i want to keep my warranty) or it is a major bug with instagram and snapchat. (I have also thought it might be a bug witrh the 18:9 ratio, but idk). Help me.
Currently using Miui stock rom in version 9.5.19.0

Hello.
I have a frustrating problem with my asus zenfone 5z 8/256gb version.
Camera performs well in good light condition, but when it comes to take photo in low light for example in home with bulb light or when sun comes down i got problem.
Cuz camera preview looks like have 5-10fps? And talking a photo takes a while I mean click on button and i have to wait couple of sec without any movement otherwise i will get so blured photo..
Also I have a second problem in low light i getting strange white/color lines, something like flickering...
I make post on official asus zentalk, but they said "Under normal light source brightness, the camera preview frame rate speed is 30fps; in low light environment, it will be reduced to 8fps, increasing the exposure time and increasing the brightness of the preview, so the preview may result in afterimage, which is the design behavior." - And its funny for me, because for example Pocofone F1 with same sony sensor don't have that problem.
Now i don't know, is that issue with asus software or it's issue with camera hardware and I have to go with phone to service?
Well if it's software issue, any of custom rom fix that?
There is few photos/videos:

What's wrong with this phone.. ?
Thank you for any help!
I have the same issue both with the low quality laggy viewfinder in camera apps (like Snapchat) and the flickering screen / vertical lines in low light. Focusing is also not as reliable in low light.
My main camera's focusing is defective and doesn't work anymore. I am attempting to get it replaced under warranty (I hope they ignore the unlocked bootloader, if not then there are replacement camera modules on eBay).
I don't think a camera replacement would help the laggy viewfinder in camera apps, but I will report back if the flickering/lines is improved in any way.
Same to my phone 5z. Video quality not good 8n low light condition. The slow motion video in low light also terrible
Just got my phone back from Asus with a replacement rear camera.
So far, the vertical lines and flickering have not improved. Focusing and taking videos (in the Camera app and in social media apps) still have a lot of flickering and lines.
Although, I did notice that Snapchat has much improved video recording. Not sure if it was the camera replacement, or the update to Android 10, but the viewfinder in Snapchat has minimal lag and takes much better videos than before.
Edit:
I can confirm MUCH better camera quality/smoothness in 3rd party apps (specifically Snapchat and Instagram) on the official Android 10 update. My snaps are very smooth and locked to 60fps, even in the dark (although the images/videos in general come out a little darker).
Some of the custom Android 10 based roms I tried (which are currently based on the Pie vendor) have significantly worse camera image/video in 3rd party apps.
Same problem here. That's very annoying because sometimes I'm recording in good light condition but background have some dark places then the lines are constant flickering in that part. This is ridiculous bad software problem.
The camera on Snapchat is super zoomed in compared to normal. I searched on Google, and it seems to be because Snapchat uses video (instead of photo) camera and takes a screenshot of the viewfinder.
Is there a fix for this that we can implement? I don't mind rooting/Magisk/Xposed. I checked the working Magisk modules thread here, but found nothing related to Snapchat.
Thank you!
The problem is, that Snapchat is using the fullscreen viewfinder (I think its 19.5 : 9) and in the camera app it 4:3.... thats the problem and sadly there are currrently (ever since) no fixes
