Since we have the Pixel 2 XL, we have all of the latest camera features like portrait mode, and AR stickers and such. However one of the things those apps enable that are not stock is RAW/DNG capture from Google Camera. Has anyone tried apktool on just the stock Google Camera app to enable it?
By now there is no Google app or mod that is able to do it.
In my Pixel XL 1st Gen I use ProShot. It lets you shoot photos on RAW+JPEG and it has a great design and very functional features (depth of field, manual focus, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, temperature, compression level on JPEG, etc.)
any way using ADB etc to default the tele to 4X instead of 5X? 4X is the native zoom of the tele lens, 5x is a hybrid and one can see the difference, but 5x is the tele length linked to the tele button in the camera app. So evertime I use tele I have to remember to go from 5x to 4x manually. Any way to default tele button to 4X?
Has anyone worked out how to zoom out to the maximum 8 MP in apps other than the Samsung Camera app? I'm happy to root and change things around if necessary, but it's annoying that it defaults to a zoomed in, lower resolution image. It's one of the reasons I'm held back from flashing custom ROMs
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?
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
