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've been using the Ressurection Remix ROM on my S2 ever since v1.0 and I've only noticed this problem when the ROM moved from ICS v4.0.3 to v4.0.4. I would've reported this problem earlier but I figured, since the ROM gets regular updates, the problem would've been fixed by now.
Whenever I take photographs with my S2, I always have it set to 6.5MP Widescreen. Previously, when the phone was un-modded and when using Ressurection Remix versions that used ICS v4.0.3, the image in the on-screen viewfinder matched the resulting image I got when I took the picture. However, since ICS v4.0.4, the image in the viewfinder is distorted and, in contrast, the resulting image when taking the photograph is cropped. It makes it difficult to take photos since the image I get doesn't match what I see on the screen when taking the photo. I can also report that this is only happening for photographs. The viewfinder picture when recording video appears to be fine.
I have included two screenshots to illustrate the problem, and I have used one of my Union Flag cushions as an example. The first screenshot shows the cushion in it's entirety. Note the gap at the top and bottom of the viewfinder image. At the top, you can see part of my TV, and on the bottom you can see a row of keys on my laptop (which I used to prop up the cushion for this example). The second screenshot shows the resulting image I took when I kept my phone in the same position used for the first screenshot. Notice there is no gap on the top and bottom of the image now. When I compare both these screenshots to the actual cushion, the resulting image appears to have the correct aspect ratio but the image on the viewfinder seems to be vertically distorted, or "squished".
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to resolve it?
Does it on mine too in 6.5Mp mode
I just checked it out on mine here I am on 2.4 it doesnt seem to cut anything off on mine on 8Mp but it does do that on the 6.5Mp mode. must be a glitch.
I agree, the problem doesn't occur with 8MP photos and only happens in widescreen mode. I'm kinda glad to see someone else is experiencing the problem, as it suggests its something that could be resolved by the developer.
I would comment on the main Resurrection Remix development thread but I haven't posted enough yet.
[UPDATE] I've installed Resurrection Remix v2.5.2 and I can confirm the problem has been fixed in this version
Hey all, so I got the unlocked US model of the G5. First thing I noticed is a scratch on the back on the paint near the camera. I was upset, but thinking if I returned it, I'd get something worse back.
Anyways, when I went to use Snapchat, I noticed if everything is on the dark side I can see some lines on the video/photo viewfinder and it stays in photos/videos if it shows while recording. So far this only appears to happen in Snapchat, so I'm hoping it's something with the app, as it doesn't show in the stock camera. (See sample video below)
Can anyone who uses Snapchat check if this is a thing?

Thanks for any input!
I think if you have your phone in any version of English other than US, it will change the anti-banding setting in all camera apps. I can't watch the video right now, but it sounds like what you're describing. Snapchat is working just fine for me.

I don't think that's the problem. I'm in the U.S. and have it set to U.S. (just tried UK, as well).
It comes and goes and only on the right side of the screen.
I noticed also in the stock camera app it seems the viewfinder "lags" (has lots of motion blur) while taking photos., causing some photos to come out blurry. This never happened on my G5 H815.
My snapchat is the same, I get those lines down too
I have a Verizon G5 and have those exact issues in Snapchat. Strange, dully colored vertical lines when moving the rear camera, and a dark front camera.
The front seems to be a bit better from an update, but I'm thinking they have no idea how to code for the dual cameras.
I have the same problem on my g5 rs988
Update your Snapchat app, the issues I use to have is that front camera flashes on snapchat when trying to use it in low light photos or rooms, inside places, etc. Otherways the photo came extremaly grainy too, but no that lines.
Later I joined beta and it seems solved now i dont see that flashes from black to light or grainy selfies, even the resolution looks like normal camera even in low light
Same for me with G5 H850
The snapchat camera is fixed now.
The automatic white balance is broken after pie update. The fail is clearly visible with Sunny set up. The pictures come up yellow. Even putting the WB to sunny is not enougth, with gcam you have to do that, tap to focus and take the picture fast because it put everything yellow again automaticly. This is with all the cams, it is not only gcam. Did someone notice this? To reproduce the bug try to take a picture of a Building with the sun on it.

I didn't experience any issues in any camera app, photos are identical to Oreo
I am sure it is not a problem with my phone. @stronge.
It is a problem with the camera module itself after pie as with nokia camera the problem persist. Also it is only in sunny situations.
Hey devs and users,
I have noticed that the HDR on MIUI 10 is no longer the quality it used to be on MIUI 9.
Yes it appeared to be washed out but the brightness got full and I could see the shadows with the oversaturation removed that appeared on non-HDR screens.
But I can no longer see the shadows in HDR videos on MIUI 10 neither does the brightness go max and the screen gets blue-ish and stays oversaturated.
So is this a bug or just me?
I loved the HDR on MIUI 9, the highs and lows of exposure were perfectly viewable, no longer on MIUI 10.
The Pixel 6 only gets 2x digital zoom with it's main sensor whereas the Pixel 6 Pro will zoom until 4x or even 8x digital zoom before switching to the telephoto sensor. Is there any way to bring more digital zoom to the regular 6?
The P6P zooms 0.67x to 20x on the side with 3 sensors, 0.85x to 10x on the screen side.
While I'm not running the google image (google free AOSP here), I recall the camera application had some buttons to quickly switch between resolutions. 0.7x to the wide lens (middle position), 1.0x and 2.0x to the main lens (side opposite flash), 4.0x to the telephoto lens.
I don't remember this exactly, but people are saying that the screen side camera has quick zoom buttons showing 0.7x and 1.0x, even though it is 0.85x per the HAL (on the P6P), therefore it looks like Google is mucking with the values being presented to the users. Probably because they think it looks better to have the wide ratio match and a whole number for the sensor switch.
In reality, it switches to the telephoto lens at 4.3x. BUT, it can ride the main sensor all the way to 20x if the proximity sensor reading is "near"-ish.
It picks the sensor based on a combination of proximity and zoom level, and maybe even other factors that are not yet apparent.
Anyway, the quick buttons shouldn't be thought of as the ONLY zoom levels that are reachable. As far as I understand it, even the P6 (non-P) should be able to get the high digital zoom levels. I'd suggest you try to use the pinch gesture to zoom out and see how far it lets you go.
