Compressed Photos

Has anyone else noticed the file size for photos taken on the one x? My Photo's taken at full resolution are only coming in at circa 1.8mb - seems rather small often images at the same resolution we're double the size on my DHD.

I use Camera ZOOM FX, much better app than the stock, it also not as aggressive with compression in post processing.
P.S. Just did a quick test, photo taken in Camera Zoom FX (2.7mb) is twice the size of photo in stock camera app (1.4mb).

I think we lose the cool features of the stock app such as the burst mode and the recording video and taking pictures

You can also have more than one camera app. Stock for burst mode, one for taking lower compression photo and another for social media.
Edit: just tried burst mode in the camera zoom app, and it is faster the stock! You can take up to 32 photos in one burst around 8 sec!
It looks like the app uses video recording for the duration of the burst and process the photos afterword. It is an interesting way of doing burst mode.

Good point Or I can hope the DEVs can fix the high compression rate. Some Useful Data must be getting lost

DEPTH CAM as NORMAL CAM. Can we use this for 3D picture/video?

Someone found a way to use depth cam as normal cam that took 13mp image https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...miui-stock-camera-portrait-mode-dual-t3816069
now, can we use this knowledge to create or mod a camera app to take 3d picture/video?
theoretically, the easiest way should be simply allowing both camera to take photo / record video simultaneously. This will allow very easy post on a computer to merge them into one 3d picture or 3d video.
or as a workaround, maybe.. simply open https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...miui-stock-camera-portrait-mode-dual-t3816069 AND google camera on split-view, and initiate recording/take a pic?
i cant test it as im still waiting 100 hours left for unlock.
thankyou

It's no use because of interpolation. Our depth cam is 5MPx, so if there is a real way to shat 3D pictures they will be half-blured because the 5mpx picture will be expanded to match 13mpx.

the reverse should work then, 13mpx scaled to 5mpx

Is there a way to use 20mpx camera when using arnova Gcam?

No. Only OP5 users can switch to tele lens.

Ok but, anyway, is 20mpx camera exploited by gcam to get better photo in some way or only the 16mpx cam is used in every situation so 20mpx is never "powered on"?

In OOS 20MP camera is used only in auto mode and portrait to detect depth. It shoots 20MP photo then magic OP software interpolate it to lower res to "improve quality and decrease noise" and then i don't know why, extrapolates that image back to 20MP. If i'm right it is written in camera HAL so we can't do nothing with it... Test it by Yourself, just type *#*#1597#*#* in dialer and take photo with "tele" and "wide" in sunny day.
I'm not sure 100% about it, correct me if i'm wrong.

Dialer? Why using dialer to take photo?

@rmroot You use dialer to input this code I wrote earlier. It opens camera app which now allows You to switch lenses manually.

Raw photography

Hello,
What is the best camera app to shot in RAW so as I can edit?
Do you know a better raw files than the original?
Thanks

RAW files are direct from the sensor! Any app capable of shooting RAW will give you the same file!
Only difference is if a third-party app let you save the 64MP RAW images from the telephoto sensor
Edit - it appears I may be wrong in this statement as others have outlined below.

Ok I asked because with my older OnePlus 5T with GCam has much better RAW files than stock camera.

Lightroom (for Android) is a complete software ..you can don alot from your RAW phone image.
But not free.

Because it's not true what he says. Gcam for example uses a lot of image processing technologies like even before the demosaicing process, that contribute to a better picture. as far as i remember even burst images are melted into the raw picture. That's why you have much better dynamic range and details and noise as in other RAW-Cameras. As long as this is not standardized and enabled via API for all new Phones/Apps, using RAW in Smartphones beside GCAM does not make any sense.

Ok, so for me the RAW from GCAM is way better than the original RAW.... it's not all the same RAW files finally.
The one of the S20 is not really good to me... What do you think ?

Do you think that it will be possible to shot RAW with the Ultra Wide Sensor and the 64mpx? One day...?

Question What camera app allows 48MP RAW format on 9Pro?

The stock camera app with OOS 12 allows selection of 48 Megapixel JPG in regular photo mode with a button labelled "High", but the Hasselblad Pro mode needed to choose RAW or to use manual camera settings does not offer a control to choose 48MP.
Is there another camera app that supports 48MP in RAW on this phone? (I tried the GCAM port discussed in this forum and I get get 48MP at all with that.)
While I know 48MP is overkill for most phots, I find the 48MP JPG actually gets more readable text on a large poster full of small text taken in daylight, so I have a good use case for 48MP.
Thanks

RAW resolution is 12MP and no other app will help. In fact you can't even get unbinned (full res 48MP) jpegs in any 3rd party app

I know the 48MP JPEGs I can get with the stock camera app are unbinned because I see the results in small type on large format posters is clearly better than 12MP. I do see some JPEG artifacts and would like to get my hands on the 48MP unbinned RAW photos. Is there any way to do it? I have rooted the phone (for other reasons) if they can help in any way.

Can’t be done.

Already told you in the first part of the message - it CAN'T be done. And it's hilarious that you can have better results from upscaled GCam 12MP to 48MP than the stock 48MP shot.

You misread what I wrote. It its the STOCK 48MP shot that is giving me the best image of tiny text on posters and those truly appear NOT to be upscaled. I was just hoping to be able to get a RAW 48MP out of this phone.

No I didn't misread, I just told you stock is useless as you can very often get better results by upscaling 12MP from GCam than native 48MP from stock. That's how bad stock is due to aggressive processing
Here's a sample to check out. 12 to 48MP upscale in the GCam vs native 48MP stock. Pretty embarrassing for stock... But yeah 48MP RAW would be ideal.
