What app to capture RAW pictures? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What app do you all use to capture RAW files from the camera? I thought you would be able to do so in Pro mode but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Put it in pro mode and click the gear icon for settings. It's in there. Must be in pro mode to turn it on though.

Yeah Raw images option only comes when the mode is Pro, go to settings there you can activate it!

Now just need a way to make it default to Pro Mode. Double tapping the home button to get the camera from the lock screen is pointless if I have to go thru menus to switch to Pro Mode

To be fair, if you are trying to capture something very quickly, you probably are better off using the normal mode and snap a picture. I find myself only using Pro Mode when I want to just take some time and get everything just right for the scene like landscapes and macro shots.

I dont need the pro mode features, just the RAW capture so I can do full manual tweaking later. I am a heavy photoshop user/tweaker, but not a camera expert, so I generally dont bother with most of the settings on the phone itself (I have though, since the Note 5 isnt the best at deciding how to handle very dark situations)

Huawei P20 Pro Master AI: disable or customize greenery mode

Hi all,
is there a way to disable (or customize) the camera mode "greenery" ?
Because imho when I frame a scene with some plants trees etc, mater ai activates this mode and the result is a photo with too saturated colors...
The grass is so green that the photo seems to be made near Chernobyl
Any suggestions?
Thanks
You can just click the X on the greenery banner whenever it recognises a frame as greenery.

When your device suggests "greenery", you can simply close the suggestion on the side (by tapping the X) and shoot it without AI. No need to completely disable it. But unfortunately, no way to customize it.
ok ok I know that I can click on X to disable (temporary) this mode. And I know that I could disable Master AI from the camera option. But disable a single mode should be very useful. If I'm in a park I have to click X every time -,-
Anyway I feared that there were no other solutions.. but in doubt it is better to ask

Video exposure and focus lock?

Is this possible via the stock camera app at all or I need to look into Filmick (or other 3rd party apps) for such features? Auto focus and auto exposure adjusting constantly when shooting changing scenery/lighting can be a real PITA. Cheers
You can use the pro mode to focus manually and get a fix exposure.

Aaargh... I had thought of that so I had looked in Pro mode but didn't see any relevant video settings (or so I thought). Now when someone tells you it's there it somehow extends your awareness and voila, there's a camera icon on the top right corner that, wow, switches to Pro mode for video
Thanks man!
Is this camera icon shows up when you are in the pro mode? Or where? I can't see it.

haha, glad I was not the only one to whom it wasn't so evident!
Enter Pro mode, to the right you see the normal "Photo shoot" button, above it there is a camera icon, hit it and the button changes to "Rec" button and you are in Pro Video mode.
Haha, I found it, thanks man

But how do I change the focus while shooting video? I can use a slider to focus but not during shooting.

That one I know but I thought you can use the focus slider to have nice effects.
Hi! You can do that. open camera>Settings>Enable the object tracking option.

Camera Modes Shortcut on Home Screen

Hi!
Does anyone know how to create additional camera modes shortcut on Home Screen? (Example: Super Slo-mo Mode, Pro Mode, etc)
For now I can only find Selfie Mode and Auto Mode available by default.
I saw demo phones at the mall has many modes on the Home Screen. Not sure how they did that....
Thanks in advance!!

How To Guide Camera hidden settings and features

Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.
Wow, this is amazing. Thx

I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4
it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.

Question Night mode on video

I just received my x90 pro plus, and i playin with the cameras but i can't find something that i saw review in the x80 pro and i assume that this X90 Pro Plus got it too.
That is night mode durin video, i see nigh mode but only for photos, and i don't see anmy icon of night mode while i am at the video option.
It activates by his own, there is a setting maybe, or this x90 pro plus doesn't have it?
Thanks
You need to go to settings in video and turn on smart notification for video, then when you are in video mode and the camera detects it is dark (put your hand over the lens) it will give you an icon to the left of the shutter button of a moon and star, tap that and it will go into night mode, it doesn't work in 4K 60, works in 4K 30
Thanks, that's it, got another question if you don't mind. I can't make it work notification on the lock screen with or without password. I mean show basic icon or details, I had to unlock the phone. Just try several settings but not luck.
I add a photo if it is some use to you.
