Question Possibility of seamless zoom out/in while recording - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

Is it possible using the stock camera or maybe a gcam mod to do a seamless zoom out from the regular lens to the ultra wide while recording video? Or vice versa?

Stable 30 fps for front video camera

Just install Cinema FV-5 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.lite
And swipe from left to right(the one from headphone & settings icon) to toggle to front camera and start recording.
I have enabled camera2api so can't confirm to work on other phones which didn't have this enabled.
I am on stock & unrooted.
You can also get stable fps for back video recording but for that you have to lower the exposure to minimum(can't be used in extremely dark conditions).Video stabilization also seems to be better in this application.

Wide lens streaming?

Do you know how to set up 7T wide lens in any stream apps?
For example in Google Meet?
Other?
Any chance to setup default lens to ultra wide?
The app would need to support direct camera functions to be able to switch lenses, otherwise it will use the default camera setup.

Question 3x zoom in camera app doesn't switch to telephoto camera

Hello
I got the Fold4 a few days ago and still figuring things out
I don't seem to understand how the stock camera app switches cameras
There are 3 'predefined' optical zoom options at the bottom:
1. .6x - Assuming this is the 10MP ultra-wide camera (top camera, furthest from the flash LED)
2. 1x - Assuming this is the main 50MP wide camera (middle camera)
3. 3x - Assuming this is the bottom 12MP 3x telephoto camera (bottom camera, closest to the flash LED)
The thing is - if I cover the bottom camera with my finger and toggle all the zoom options, none of them show a covered camera.
It seems my assumption is right about 1 and 2, but the 3x zoom option also uses the main 50MP middle camera, and it just crops the image
Only going digital zoom of 10x or above makes it switch to the bottom telephoto camera
If I switch the camera app to video then it's a different story, 1x uses the main 50MP camera and 3x uses the 12MP bottom camera
Anyone has this issue or any information on it?
Just checked mine and it switches between all three cameras
I also just checked mine and when the 3:4 mode is selected then it will move between the 3 cameras based on when I select the preset 0.6x, 1x and 3x zoom.
However what I don't understand is when I can select the 3:4 50MP camera then there are no other preset zooms to choose... What is the difference between this mode and the 3:4 mode - are they both 50MP??

I think the regular 3:4 mode is only 12MP (3000x4000 resolution), maybe to save memory or to do produce better pictures with some algorithm.
the 3:4 50MP takes advantage of the full capability of the sensor
This option exists in most of their modern phones
The zoom camera will automatically default back to the main camera if the ambient light level is too low. Because the zoom lens has a smaller aperture it performs worse in dark environments. It is likely being triggered by your finger covering the lens. This has been the case with all multi lens camera phones that Samsung makes.

Thank you, I did not know that
Confirmed it by switching to 3x when all cameras are covered and uncovering only the 2 top ones
It will auto switch to telephoto camera when it gets bright enough
ty this fixed my zoom problem for pictures. but when recording video it does not switch can some one direct me to an app or to a fix please

Question Is there any way to use video-call apps with the back camera and front screen?

I would like to use Google Duo with the back wide camera + the front screen, but as far as I have seen, it is only available in the selfie mode of the photo camera app.
Is there any way to use it for video-calling? The under the screen camera quality is pretty horrendous, to be honest.
Thanks.
