Camera app is not intuitive at all. If I set video recorder to 4k60fps I can't use 0.6mm lens. I have to manually disable and lower to 4k30fps to be able to select the 0.6mm lens again. OnePlus, just let me choose the lens and then you automatically disable that for me if the lens doesn't support it.
Another example of this is when you enable Hi Res photo and i only have 0.6x and 1x and because the 2x is not capable of hi Res, it's disabled. Then again I have to manually disable hi Res to be able to use 2x. Instead again, all lens should be present and if 2x doesn't support hires, then manually disable that for me and take a normal picture

i dont know if any of you have noticed or not ,,desire camera quality is not as good as Samsung galaxy s or any other 5mp camera phones....!!
-so if there is any tweaks for camera settings ,please let me know
-thank you
Use Vignette or Camera 360. Makes a huge difference.
both vignette and camera 360 are great but wont allow you to adjust the camera image processing settings
i'm getting excellent results with the HTC camera
first and foremost lower the sharpness in settings to -2, this will disable all the heavy edge sharpness and noise suppression applied by default and you will get proper photographic quality, this way you can leave adjustments like sharpness (if needed) to other apps like photoshop or picsay, i also raise the saturation to +1 for more vibrancy
you need to set the compression quality to high, i leave everything else to auto, except metering set to center area and of course highest resolution choose 4x3 aspect ratio if you want full mega pixels
one final thing in auto the htc camera chooses the lowest possible iso and hence a little sensitive to movement try to be still for a second when you shoot a photo
as for video recording 800x480 preforms great in good lighting it gets you 25fps, 720p gets around 20fps, unfortunately at low lighting the recording frame rate drops
camera performance is also improved when you are using a2sd (if rooted)
it could be the cheap crappy plastic cover over the camera lens causing your trouble, I removed mine ages ago (replaced it with a cut up screen saver) and it was like removing a cataract from my eye...!

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.
Hi, here you have a tutorial to activate the triple lens with Google Camera:
- Open Gcam, go to advanced/Advanced-Pixel AWB and set it to IMX586
- Reboot the device into recovery mode, mount system and data and go to file manager.
- Once there, move the folder "data/app/org.codeaurora.snapcam-xxxxxxx" to "system-root/system/priv-app"
- Change the folder name to "org.codeaurora.snapcam" and change the "base.apk" name to "org.codeaurora.snapcam.apk"
- Reboot the device, open Gcam and activate the dual lens option.
The only issue is 0.6x activates the zoom and 2x activates the wide angle.
But now we can use the other lenses to take a video and ejoy the quality of this camera
:good:
Thanks for sharing man.

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.
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
