Hey guys. As you can read in the title its about some problems i ran into when using the camera. Using the official v3.88 rom btw
For example
Video recording
4k records in laggy 15 fps in good light, 11 fps low light
1080p records 24 fps in good light, 11 fps in low light
For 720p its the same as 1080p
Photography
I have focusing issues when using automatic mode on macro and/or close up shots. Camera tries to focus, then focuses beyond the sweet spot (meaning its sharp but it still adjust focus beyond that so it gets blurry again), and then it jumps back to what the focus was before. Happens very rarely that it stops the focus where it should be to get a good picture.
Now for low light and complete dark conditions using the led flash.
The focus issues here here are similar to the previous macro/close up issue.
Example scenario: complete dark room, camera with flash led enabled. Now when i try to take a picture using the shutter button (not onscreen one as this just shoots without attempting to focus at all), the led turns on, camera tries to focus, led turns off after focusing, focusing indicator appears again somehow (orange square), now i press the shutter down completely, it takes the picture and it comes out really blurry as it resets the focus right to where it was at the beginning (thats what similar to the macro shots).
Does anyone of u guys have these problem on the same rom (v3.88)?
Do any Mini and Max users here have similar issues?
If u have time pls try out the things mentioned above (video and photography pls) and post your results if you have the same issues or similar things happening to you.
Anyone?
Guys, pls. Already 170 views and nobody answered. This goes to anyone. Max, mini and normal z7 users. Pls tell me about if u have got camera issues or not on the latest available stock rom on your phone
I'm having the same problems with videorecording, low FPS in low light, like 10-20. Im using Resurrection Remix 7.1.1 though, i dont rememeber if this happened with the stock version i had (3.84). Have you found any fix to this?
Edit: i´ve found a workaround for the low FPS in low light. You have to set the "exposure" setting to -2, it will make the video darker but you will get a stable framerate.

Thank you for responding. Yeah i know its due to exposure being too aggressive while video recording. What about taking pictures in low light (or even in a completely dark room) with led flash on? Does it focus correctly and captures a sharp image or does it kinda reset the focus after led turns off and gives u a blurry result?
And what about 4k video recording. Does it give you stable 30 fps in good light conditions? I know mine didnt.
Will hdr content work on the mate 20 Pro?
Not yet.
YouTube HDR works

I used the open HDR version and it's working fine with HDR (can't remember the link, I just searched Xdev)

Can you send me a link
Is there any kind of on-screen notification to show that it is showing HDR content? I have tried some HDR videos on Youtube (I don't have Netflix) and the videos look the same to me - on my TV the difference is obvious when it is playing HDR stuff.
I have just swapped my LG screen for a BOE screen and the colours look a lot less vibrant in normal use, so wanted to test out some HDR footage to see if it made any difference - otherwise I'll be sending it back in the hope of getting an LG screen without issues!

With this version it at least shows me that HDR is available on certain content. But I don't see much of a difference playing it.

When playing an HDR video from YouTube your screen should go to full brightness, that's normally an indication it has switched to HDR mode.

I get the HDR logo on content even from the official app, but I don't think it plays in HDR mode.
Mine doesn't go to full brightness. Just tried streaming Black Panther in 4k HDR and it looks awful - very dark and colours are not popping out half as much as they did on my previous HTC U11 which didn't have an OLED screen. Think I'll be returning this one next week in the hope of getting a (fixed) LG screen!
It definetely changes the screen settings while playing HDR content. The red of the netflix search bar etc. changes noticably but I can not really see any difference in the content.
But I heard opinions, that HDR on a Smartphone is not really noticeable and made little sence.
Out of interest, is yours a BOE or LG screen?
I also noticed the reds go very garish on the menu of my streaming software, but the actual film stayed normal colour.
just check.... our mates have widevine lv1 so it should be playing 4k and hdr.... maybe huawei somehow just disabled to show hdr content?!

Seeing if you are playing a video in HDR is quite easy actually. Just press a volume button and you should notice the blue tones are... well... more blue. Another thing to do is trying to adjust the brightness of your screen.
Oh and when playing a HDR video on youtube, switch between landscape mode (fullscreen) and vertical mode (the mode where the video is only on the top of the screen).
-edit- The underlined part is for the Mate 20 Pro. Maybe the bar is also affected on LG? Anyway, there are two more (general) tips so you should be able to find out.
Another thing is that I noticed Netflix is now offering HDR on the Mate 20 Pro, but it doesn't look HDR to me. It is definitely going to HDR-mode as I can clearly see (as what I described above) the difference in color blue of the volume bar. But hey, does an already bright and saturated OLED display need HDR? Except for the wider color gamut of-course, which is really lovely on the video's with HDR on YouTube. Sometimes, with some scenes and probably specific colors, I find the display kind of 3D-isch. Which is very nice

Does the volume and brightness thing still hold true. I just got a replacement and the volume bar colour doesn't change anymore and It doesn't go to fully bright automatically like it did before. Content also looks same as my other none hdr phone.
Loving Huawei atm. On my 6th phone...
HDR for this phone is coming by Emiu related. I'm on. 153 version on later version there is support for HDR Netflix, is not related to the Netflix app, no its based on version of EMIU LATER THEN 153

I just checked it for you and come to find that it's different now.
TL;DR:
The answer is no, the brightness can now be changed and will not be set to max while in HDR mode and the blue of volume bar is hardly noticeable now (it's a lighter shade of blue now while in HDR mode).
This is on my YouTube app:
- Brightness can be adjusted now (before it was maxed out)
- The saturation of the blue in the volume bar is another hue, much less noticeable. Before it would to change to a darker tone (yet brighter, thanks to the HDR) of blue. Now it's a lighter tone of blue. Much less noticeable in my opinion.
You can check if a video on YouTube is playing in HDR by checking the quality it's playing in. It should say HDR after the resolution. If you question if the video is actually playing in HDR (despite it saying it's hdr), I recommend (I'm can't post links yet): paste this after youtube.com "/watch?v=tO01J-M3g0U&t=21s" . The image of the cheetah shouldn't have blown out white on it's belly, the details should remain visible in it's fur. To really check if the richer colors of HDR are being applied, I suggest comparing some hdr content with a monitor (not a TV as they use image enhancers).
As for Netflix:
- I didn't notice any difference, except for the volume bar having this brighter blue now. But that's because the volume bar isn't controlled by an app but by the system itself. So that's as expected.
- Not noticing a difference on Netflix isn't necessarily a bad thing. A movie might not have/want those popping colors of HDR (I'm comparing to the flashy HDR samples on YouTube for this, like the one I gave earlier). Also having an OLED screen is already what you might call "HDR" (having dark blacks and bright whites, while being able to see all the details in between the dark and light), it's only a matter of a wider color gamut to produce more popping colors, which again, might be different in the movie industry compared to the samples of HDR on YouTube. To truly test this, one should test it with an LCD screen.
So i just got the official update today and i just updated my poco f1 to 10.2.2.0 and here's my short review. Do read this if you wanna consider to update or not.
1. The new slow mo 960fps has flickering issues so its literally impossible to use. Or is it only me?
2. Theres a new option at the top screen "Cleaner - Security scan - Deep clean - Manage apps" in recent apps screen which imo, makes it look less minimalistic and ugly.
3. Battery? So far so good. Havent tested it in pubg yet or full day use yet so i cant give my full opinion yet. I'll update this after this 3 days.
4. Theres a new options in Notification & Status bar in settings>Show icons for incoming notifications. Which basically will show your notification icons on the left status bar then after 2 seconds it goes back to showing the clock which is dumb. Why dont they just give us the options to show notification icons permanently instead of clock.
5. The hide notch option in settings is still gone.
6. Theres a new Night mode in camera, but really, they dont work as well as pixel 3 night mode. When you take a pic using night mode in completely darkness, the pic result will be completely dark, unlike the pixel 3. So dont hope too much on the night mode on miui camera.
Thats all so far my review. Will udpate this thread if i found anything new. Please share your review as well.
Hello,
regarding (1): are you in sunlight or in artificial light?
960 fps is way higher than the power line frequency (50 Hz, 60 if you are in the US) so if you shot in artificial light you are basically getting flicker from your lamp.
In direct sunlight you should have no flickering at all.

Nope. Still no difference.
I also only notice flicker in artificial light. Moreover, the flicker is much less noticeable in the actual video than it is on the screen while recording.
Currently running MIUI Global Pie Stable 10.3.4.0. I just noticed that the viewfinder on the Pocophone's stock camera (and GCam as well) shows some weird tint/discoloration in the middle. Especially when you point it at dark surfaces with bright outdoor lighting. When you take a photo, the tint/discoloration also registers on the picture as well. I'm guessing this is a software issue as this was non-existent in the previous version of MIUI. Is there a way fix this?
Here's a link to the video I uploaded.
Notice the change of color in the middle when I pointed the viewfinder back and forth to two different surface areas.
i have problem with my honor 10 camera auto high HDR and high sharpen specially in sun light
which damage photo quality and face details and make photo looks like there is no colors in it
i tried to turn off AI
