Omnivision - Manual Camera Bugs - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I'm using freedcam, one plus camera, camera fv, open camera etc
Seems like ISO settings is buggy, when we set ISO other than auto, shutter speed will be reset to very high shutter speed like 1/1000000. The ISO is wrong though... When we set it to ISO 200, will give you ISO 100 picture.
On camera fv, the iso setting does nothing... It's always auto.

[Q] Lock Exposure, Shutter and ISO?

Since the SGSII has a pretty good camera I was wondering if it is possible to manually lock exposure, shutter and ISO settings?
With a full HD resolution I would like to get some nice filming done but without the camera automatically adjusting settings. It ruins the look.
Maybe there is already software out there which I havent found?
Cheers!

The main thing is seems that you'll want to do is to manually adjust the white balance rather than keeping that on Auto.
Exposure lock: There's no exposure lock. However, you can manually adjust the exposure value. So if you want to shoot something bright, you can lower it. If you want to shoot something dark, you can increase it.
Shutter speed. There's no way to manually adjust the shutter speed. (So you can't capture something like a waterfall with slow shutter speed to get the motion effect.) Like most non-DSLR cams, the shutter speed is automatically adjusted depending on lighting conditions, flash, and ISO.
ISO. Yes, ISO can be manually adjusted.
The cam is great and can probably replace most people's dedicated point&shoot cams. But it's definitely not as versatile as even a budget DSLR cam.
The camera changes exposure wile you are shooting. That my problem is.
When I walk out of my flat with my camera switched on I don't want to see the automatic exposure correction. Dunno how to describe but have you never seen the effect when you pan from a window to your wall? It must be possible to lock these settings to eliminate the automatic correction.
What I like to see as an option is the autofocus, I got lot's of refocussing in low light conditions when focus was actually perfect
Also would be really awesome if you could set the exposure time to image starry nights, I mean, the device is called Galaxy is it not
Unfortuanely I am not a developer so I cannot contribute to these options and can only hope some cool devguy with the knowhow has the same wishes as me

Mod request: enable the sharpness menu in manual and RAW camera mode.

If anyone could enable the sharpness menu in manual and RAW camera mode, that would be a killer feature!
That would make this phone killer, absolutely killer. Should be one single hex/framework edit.
The auto-sharpen is awful and should not be on by default in Manual or Raw mode. Manual mode (the big "M" when you click the Camera logo in the settings within the camera) lets you change focus, contrast, zoom, exposure time, but not sharpness (?!) even though sharpness can be adjusted in the "Auto" camera. Very bad oversight, HTC! Hoping you can mod this fixed, ungray the menu.
Another nice camera tweak would be to enable ISO from 50, 75, 150 in the ISO slider (manual/RAW) and exposure time >2 seconds for those night-time scenes and light painting, etc.
But just that sharpness thing would be miraculous, thanks!

Could a moderator move this thread where it belongs? I'm not sure this is the right place for this.
That would or could be a great mod.

Camera manual mode isn't really

Has anyone noticed that you can set iso in manual mode and then modify shutter speed and boom iso is set to auto again? How can I have need control? Love the size and weight of this phone but camera is kind of weak compared to s7.
Yes, I would like to adjust ISO and shutter speed togheter and separately, but as far as I know this is not possible. I hope they can adjust it in future release.....
Manual Camera lets you adjust both of them independently, but you can only take pictures up to 8 mp. I'm really no too familiar with camera APIs and such (or photography for that matter) so I don't know if this has any implications, but I would say that picture quality is very similar otherwise. If you don't mind the resolution and price ($3) it's not too bad. Here's a comparison: Stock / Manual Camera
I would say the stock camera does a good job of setting the ISO on its own, but I understand the need for manual controls.
No it's not! Even in 3 mp if you set for example 50 iso and than set shutter speed to for example 1/50 and go back to setting...... voilĂ  iso is in auto mode again

Manual Camera the app, not manual mode in the stock camera
Play Store
I also tried Camera FV-5 because I used it on my Nexus 4, and though it does support manual control of ISO and shutter speed (still with the same 8mp cap,) focus breaks completely when the shutter speed is set low which makes in unusable.

Manual mode on wide angle camera

For the manual mode on wide angle camera, does it support RAW format? What is the range of camera exposure control on the wide angle lens? (Min to max ISO, min to max shutter speed)

Yes, pretty much anything that can be done on the normal sensor can be done with the wide angle except for auto focus. RAW, ISO 50-3200, Shutter speed 30sec-1/4000

Thanks for your info, I believe v20 and G6 have these capability too right?

HOW TO - 1836p video from front facing camera on P30 PRO

1/ Download Manual Cam:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lensesdev.manual.camera.pro
+ Supports all 3 rear cameras
- Paid
OR
Download Open Camera:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
+ Free
- Supports just main rear lens
2/ Open app. Switch to front facing camera, in options change resolution to 1836p (16:9)
3/ Optionally you can also increase video bit rate in options.
4/ Optionally for better (less noisy) low light video you can manually set shutter speed to 1/24th of second for example and reduce video frame rate to 24fps. You have to manually set ISO to get correct exposure. Auto exposure does not work in manual mode.
Note: Stabilization does not seem to work in this mode = less crop but more hand shake
Manual camera.....How switch between 3 camera?....
Very top left icon in viewfinder. Small camera icon with number inside it, by clicking on it you can cycle thru cameras.
