Google Camera Front Facing Distortion Fixing Magic - Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

I know it's not new news, but I haven't found anything about it except from an AndroidPolice article, but Google Camera does some fancy fixing to the distortion at the edges of the front facing camera.
Is this specific to the Pixel 3 or to just the updated camera app and works on other devices it's ported to?
Either way, it's great! Just look at the difference between the far-right image and the middle two distorted ones.

That's not what the op is asking. He wants to know if the distortion correction for wide angle lenses is unique to the pixel 3 or if it is included with the pixel camera app and can work on other devices?

Xperia Z2 main camera quality questionable

Hello XDA,
There has been some talk about the Z2 camera and its questionable performance, especially when comparing to other flagship devices.
Here's the first comparison. From a phonearena phototest. Clearly Z2 did terrible here. Blurry all the way.

So i wasnt shure if this was a technical problem, or a software problem. Did some tests myself, taking same shot with superior auto, full manual (resized to 8mp), and google stock camera app. And heres what I found out:
Look at the bins closely. Especially the lid. Google's stock camera has most detail and did better than Sony's own optimized one! Thats a bit shocking, isn't it?
I took some more shots that day using the superior auto, and guess what - they all came out very different, even though they were shot in completely same settings. What happened with the so "softening" of the images is what I believe is distortion correction. When sony's own software tries to fix that distortion, its blurs the image slightly in some parts of the image (depening on where it wants to corrects the distortion).
here's the test - couple of shots in auto + one in manual. And the result:
I just hope sony's going to fix their algorithms and provide a little update to their camera later on. Now I need to take 3-4 shots everytime to get the sharpest out of my shot, hoping the software will not "fix" down the picture it took.
Cheers All.

Are you using the wide angle camera, the front camera or the main camera?? The main camera is 16MP and the other 2 are only 8MP.
It does look like you are using the wide angle camera here so the image wont be as good
Hi fellow Austrian
As the G5's cameras support the Camera2 API, you might wanna try manual mode. Using it, you are able to manually set ISO, shutter speed, white balancing and focus, while the last two parameters still contain an "AUTO" function. You can turn it on in the overflow menu.
Here are some helpful pages that helped me
- ISO/shutter speed
- ISO/shutter speed cheat sheet
-White balance
~Firefrost
That's the worst contrast I've seen in a while. My first thought was that maybe the lens is dirty?
@Seansmit17 yes im using wide angel but if i dont use it still pictures looks like 8 bit. i will post more pics tomorrow.
@Firefrost Servus i will try it thanks but i want to use simple mode.
@ torax242 no its not.
Still same, is this looks like a hardware problem? Should i send it back? There is no settings or something.
sent back to amazon.... end

Can someone get a dump of the Camera2 capabilities of the S9+

Hello, I am wondering what capabilities the camera has from the Camera2 api.
If someone could get the list of all camera info it would be of great benefit.
Is this what you're looking for? This is from Camera2 Probe.
View attachment 4534351
It is the information I am looking for, but does it's show up as 3 or two cameras in total with the Camera2 probe.

The above is all it shows. I'd expect that the fact it is two cameras in hardware is entirely hidden to the OS / API and apps.

There is another app on the play store that will show in more detail about the camera sensors. Just put 'Camera2 Test' into the play store, it should be from Tetiana Blahodarova.
If you could, can you get a screenshot of the camera identifier drop down box.
Other than that thanks so far for your help.

Sure thing. I've attached the screenshot, plus the full info (zipped html) from Camera2 Test with all the camera details. It lists two cameras, front and back, but the back camera as a single camera.
