Camera Issue Oreo Update - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Neeever mind. I found the manual mode. They changed it from a separate menu and put it into the new "mode" menu with all the camera trick modes like "pop out", panorama, timer, etc.
The manual mode is greatly improved now with much more intuitive control.
I just got the Android Oreo 8.0.0 yesterday. I just went to use the camera and I cannot find the 3 dot menu on the main screen to get into manual mode. I use manual mode a lot! If anyone knows how to enter manual mode of has a fix please post it.
Other than that the update fixed a BT issue I had and I have not encountered any other issues.
Thanks

So is there a was to change default behaviour of shutter button to start camera in manual mode?
Yes I really would like something like this as well if anybody has any ideas... or can hack something up.
I think there was an exposed mode for that.Check it out if you have an rooted device.
I have went through the hole list of modules and didn't find anything that would work, even installed a button remember that I had no luck on.

Questions about the camera

So I've had the phone for a couple of weeks an am loving the camera. However there are a few things I've not been able to figure out with regards to the camera, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction:
1: When in Auto mode or Manual mode, I can't seem to turn on OIS. The OIS icon is grayed out. Can I use OIS in these modes? If so, how do I turn it on? In what modes is OIS available?
2: Is there anyway of changing the default metering mode? Even on my old Galaxy S4 I could switch between Matrix metering, Center weighted and Spot metering.
3: Is there any way of taking bracketed shots?
4: Why when in manual mode do the various controls not rotate between landscape and portrait modes. When I'm holding the phone vertically the WB, MF, ISO etc.. controls are in landscape mode.
I do own Camera FV-5 and I know that solves some of these issues. Does anyone know if FV-5 will use OIS?
Any Insight is appreciated.
1. You might have issue with your phone. Click on auto, then settings wheel, when switching it takes between 1-3 seconds from gray to white.
Manual mode does not have OIS available.
2. Metering mode. Sorry, can't switch. I know, it sucks.
3. Bracketed shots, ?.
4. It has to do with the widened of the screen . They set the UI up like that. The settings and flash will rotate but not the others. Maybe update to LG's camera UI in future will bring that.
Nope, the OIS won't turn on.
Is this something I need to check with Verizon on?

1. OIS/Steadyshot option is available on Auto mode for rear camera (See attached). I think in manual mode it defaults to OIS, and SteadyShot in Manual Video Mode. (See Pic attached).
2. I was missing this feature as well, no different metering option unfortunately. The only thing I noticed that works is a spot metering using the FFC, you can touch a spot and the metering will be based on your spot of choice.
3. No Bracketed Shots in the default camera app as well, need to look into 3rd party apps. There's only burst mode, which is different, and even then it's only with the FFC.
4. THIS is my biggest pet peeves as well, such a bad UX design. You would think that they would take into account that people will use the phone in both orientation instead of just landscape. This problem doesn't just happen in camera mode unfortunately. I wished the 2nd screen icon will rotate as well when you put your phone in landscape mode because currently it's fixed into portrait.

1: I cleared data and cache data on the camera app and that seemed to fix it. I know have OIS again.
2&3 frustrating, but I guess that's why I have Camera FV-5.
4: My second screen icons all rotate to landscape and back to portrait. Weird that your's don't.

I tried Manual Camera app the other day, you can bump the FFC ISO up past the default setting on that one. I think I could bump it up to like ISO 12800, and yes it looks like **** lol. But it's an option.
Are you talking about the second screen within the camera app? In camera app, yes it rotates. Other than that, no they don't rotate. Like say when you're watching a video or doing something else in landscape mode, my second screen is fixed into portrait mode. So when a text or notification comes in, they don't roll the "correct" way.

My second screen rotates regardless of the app I'm in. You may want to do a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue. if not I'd go back to the store and do an exchange.
I've not heard of the manual camera app. What does it bring that the stock or Camera FV-5 don't?

No manual mode in the lock screen without unlocking

Cannot run manual mode in the lock screen without unlocking. When I press camera button or use the shortcut it tursn on fine with Superior mode, but when I turn on manual mode from inside the app, the annoying "Screen locked To change capture mode, unlock the screen" appears.
Any solution for that without changing the camera app? I did some research and nothing really worked (like offered xposed additions, camera enhancements)
I am running Exiztenz Marshmallow 5.6.5, but it is the same story with pure stock rom.
Thanks in advance!

Emui 8.1 - Honor 10 camera bug

I'm using a Honor 10 with EMUI 8.1.0
Patch version: COL-L29 8.1.0.146 (C432patch02)
Actual version: COL-L29 8.1.0.146 (C432)
Issue:
When using the camera with the AI and it recognizes a human face (portrait mode) I can only shoot two pictures no matter what I do.
At the first two picture taken, it can be seen on the lower left small picture preview icon that the photo is taken, but after that, no matter on what I aim the AI can change its mode (e.g. from portrait to text), but neither the software camera button does not do anything, neither the volume buttons.
The button itself is pushed but nothing happens.
I've already tried to erase the cache and wipe all data what the camera have from the application settings.
Also tried to restore default settings from the camera app settings, but nothing helped.
This issue occurs since the latest update which are fixes some pubg related graphical issues.
Before that point I could do infinite portrait pictures.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Any idea what can I do to fix this issue?
Same issue
I have the same issue, I have also taken the same steps to try and eliminate it.
Build number: COL-L29 8.1.0.148(C432)
I have found that disabling AI camera stops the issue, the camera still does the face recognition and focus, but you don't get the AI enhancements and the auto portrait mode. At the moment I've just had to disable AI which is a shame

Possible to disable portrait mode from master AI?

Hi all,
Been testing the camera for the last few days. One thing that annoys me is that in auto mode with master AI active (I'm giving it a chance for now), if I try to take a quick shot of my kid, usually as he looks at me and I go to take the shot, master AI detects the face and puts the camera in portrait mode which result in the app hanging for like half a second while it switches to a blurred background and I often miss the shot because I can't take the picture in that hung state. Going in options to disable ai isn't quick enough.
For now, my workaround is to tap the pro mode when taking pictures of him.
I don't think it's doable but I tried to find a way to disable portait mode from the ai.. It could still recognize that people are in the shot without going for a blurred background (there is an easy button to tap right next to auto mode if I wanted a blurred background...) I'll probably need to suggest huawei to add an option to prevent portrait mode (first huawei phone I use, do they listen well to suggestions? I know updates aren't quick) but figured I'd ask here first in case someone has a better solution or maybe I'm the only one that the phone hangs while it switches to portrait mode using the ai?
Thanks!!
Phil
yes, i'm really annoy with portrait mode (AI changed automatically) it blurred the background too strong and look fake like cheap phone...
