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....
Hope we get it in oreo upgrade..

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
Anyone tell with Oreo and GCmod

Tried Rom Jaguar_OREO_8.1_Z2_plus_OFFICIAL_FEB19 with GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6. It gives awesome clarity when shot in HDR mode.

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!

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

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.

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.

Guys proud owner of oneplus 5t actually i was playing with my oneplus camera
What i find b that if i click normal photos covering secondary camera but still photos phone takes photos also tried portrait mode and also tried 1x zoom
I think m missing something plz correct men
This is correct.
The secondary camera is relatively useless, unfortunately.
Hence they changed the way it functions on the OP6.
What? So confused. Poor English.

OP5? Or OP5T.. ? OP5 have Telephoto lense in secondary camera... Thats working as it is.
Or if u mean OP5T then second lense is using for Potrait Depth sense. Sometimes helps for low light photos.

Been offered a straight swap for a pixel 2 XL should I do it
If you value taking photos over having a headphone jack, then yes.
yes do it or give me the offer, I will swap it
Cheers guys camera is my number 1 priority,
To be fair though I've take some amazing photos and video with the 5t
google camera has been fully ported so no need to get the pixel
Its worth several hundred dollars more. So even if you prefer your OP5T I'd trade it, sell the Pixel 2xl, buy another 5T and keep the change.

The 2 XL's camera is still superior to the 5T in every way, regardless of any mod available. Now the screen is much lower quality, although it has gotten a little better since the launch units.

Well, with latest magisk fix and dotfix GCam quality is reduced. Thats the fact. Gcam is not 100% perfect in 5T now. Since OP ****ed up their Camera hals we can't enjoy better quality.. Simply compare Mi A1 Gcam port vs 5T Gcam port with fix. U will be surprised....
I tried the gcam port last night and the noise was horrendous for low light, the oos camera was much nicer
ready to swap here.!

Bro. I am talking about general photography. Selfie and Portiait are perfect in Gcam. Other types of photos are not perfect like Mi A1 Gcam. As u know, our Camera HAL implementation is bad.

Well I will be doing the trade tomorrow ,
And will keep you guys updated on initial impressions
I use the camera alot taking mainly family photos
Got the pixel 2 xl
Similar in size to the 5t
First impressions aren't great to be fair
The screen OMG very bad 5t blows it away with colour
Very washed out even on saturated mode.
Camera is okay been very dull day here in the UK.
So far on par with 5t
And I think positive is better on 5t.
Pretty disappointed at the minute
Honest opinion

Glad ..8f anyone else in ur place
Would hav said that pixel xl is better then 5t just for their mind satisfaction ..
Also camera is ..okay ..u said really ? Coz i have been listening lot about pixel ..
A lot is said about the pixel but the photos I've took today of my son , are about equal,
The 5t video at 1080p is fantastic.
I will have a better look when we get better weather.
Maybe it's a placebo with the screen being so lackluster
Blue shift also exists
I might be swapping this pixel back for a 5t soon hahahaha
Hi I noticed that my Galaxy A70 doesn't really have a 32mp back camera, only the 8mp works. Same thing as the front cam, only this time its a 5mp. Anyone with a similar issue and how do I fix this.

It's normal. As I said, Gcam is not supporting more than those options. If you use the Samsung's camera app, you will be able to use 32mp option for both main and front cameras.
