The stock camera on my Nokia 7 Plus is good in 1x and 2x zoom but when I zoom further is becomes very pixelated. Is this a proper behavior or any issue with the camera? Please confirm?

The picture will ofcourse get pixelated or grainier if you zoom any further than 2x as that's digital zoom.

How to take better quality pictures?
im using offical camera from stock rom on my SIII Mini But they looks good till i zoom them. they have low quality and crappy compression 5 MP picture s just 1.4 mb file.
i have Galaxy Ace and it take better pictures i can zoom them and dont lose the same quality as SIII
ive read in google there are a tweak to increase the video quality but didnt find a way to increase Picture quality on cam and enable or disable JPEG compression
SIII Mini has no zoom support. it has only single lens. so the way a camera app zooms is not by zooming the lens. but zooming the pixel.

many if not all mobile phone cams zoom in with pixels so that is not a S3mini thing
On the S9+, you can use optical zoom while recording video. It seems to be that this is not the case with the P20 pro for some reason, which would be a deal breaker for me.
Can someone confirm?
Bump
The youtube camera comparison vids from SupaSaf suggest that there is no optical zoom button in Video Capture Mode like on the S9 but you can pinch to zoom (it's just not known whether this is optical or digital but suggests digital to me).
Optical zoom is there. Just no button. Have to use fingers.

I just watched the SuperSaf video and it does seem like digital. Is there any confirmation it's actually optical zoom?
Bump, anyone who received it can confirm?
You can zoom. It's digital zoom as far as I can tell

That’s disappointing. I’m contemplating just cancelling my order and going back to my S9+. I loved everything about it but the very, very mediocre battery life. But the P20 pro which seemed great with the camera at first now seems to have some major drawbacks (no stabilization at 4K, no 4k60 recording, pictures looking soft, no way to enable beauty mode, etc.). What a shame.
Sorry to exhume this thread, but I'm interested in the topic. I can see why the 5x hybrid zoom might be too taxing for video, but it would be extremely disappointing for the phone to contain a 3x telephoto lens and not contain a 3x optical zoom.
YouTube has a couple new videos, but I'm not sure how to interpret. This one shows digital zoom that strikes me as very disappointing.

This one, on the other hand, to my eye, looks more like optical zoom. It's tough to judge the quality in portrait mode on YouTube, but it looks better than digital zoom to me:

Anyone have any thoughts on this or new experiences with the phone in the last couple of weeks?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, that was a great video.
Fwiw, I ended up buying it. So long as you take video in 30fps, you get what looks to be sharp, optical zoom. If you film in 1080p60, however, you get a hot mess of digital zoom. The attached shows a frame capture of 1080p30 (pretty sharp) next to 1080p60 (blurry mess). 4K30 looks much like 1080p30 but appears not to zoom in quite as far.
3x video definitely uses optical zoom. You can compare 3x vs 2.7x frame quality.

Interesting! Fwiw, my screenshots were both taken at 10x to maximize distortion so I assume there was some optical/hybrid as well as digital zoom occurring on the 30fps sample and pure digital on the 60fps sample
The new firmware 8.0.0.2 update adds a 10x zoom in camera, optimizes the drawer homescreen display and decreased the CPU load for several core processes to achieve better system performance
I think that's an old update, already gave 10x zoom in the camera here
It is new update,all previous firmware begin with 8.0.0.1 now 8.0.0.2
Show us a screenshot about your 10x zoom

10x zoom has been there since the 2nd firmware release of mate 10/pro ?
Really?so why we don't have?what your firmware?and build number?

ALP-L29 8.0.0.132 c636 here, I have 10x zoom.
Are you c900? I'm thinking I read somewhere c900 is like a fallback when/if something goes wrong with rebranding.
10X zoom or not, the quality will be $hit. 1X or 2X acceptable but 10X?? Also you will need a tripod to even get a usable picture. Even when using 1X & 2X zoom there is a lot of movement which will result in camera shake/blurred images.
Lastly, that will be digital zoom, not optical zoom. Do you guys not care for image quality?

I've seen posts in photographers forums that the P30 pro is not so useful for cropping because it blurs the details after one zooms in. In fact, one person said LG V30 with gcam is better than p30 pro but he didnt provide images for comparison.
Has anyone tried to do a side by side comparison of p30 pro vs gcam of other phones in terms of cropping? I prefer to always zoom in and see architectural features e.g. Islamic mosaics etc. Cheers.

Unfortunately there's GCam far away better than P30 PRO, specially for people pictures.
I have a friend with a Redmi Note 7 with GCam and the level of details is impressive.
What I also don't understand is why can't the app switch to wide angle items with 40mp setting... Any workaround for that?
Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk
The truth is P30 pro has very good camera. Just nothing (yet) can't quite compare to the gcam result. Google is using their own digital processing zoom (super Res zoom) which is excellent. If you compare for example stock v30 camera results with this from p30 pro - I will give the prize to Huawei .
And about using wide angle with 40mp...ummm the wide angle lens is not 40mp, that's why. Or I don't understand the post properly.
If you want the best quality use profesional mode, the best resolution (20mp-0.6x, 40mp-1x and 8mp-5x) and raw with all lens.
Only work in 0.6x 1x and 5x
And also you can use open camera (but only 1x lens) and gcam (not 100% work) %

Yes that True, P30 Pro really terrible in People Picture and their portrait for people also easy beaten by GCam (Pixel Family) :crying:, for me P30 Pro king on LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY.....
Thanks all for replying. HDJ80, can you provide some pics for a comparison to other phones with gcam?

What do you mean by that? I can't zoom in in pro mode when setting is set to 40mp
Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk
Therefore he says 1x so no zoom in 40 mp.
He is mentioning the best quality for each zoom level (which you have to configure than)

Pro mode 40mp
In right side, you have three positions: GA, 1X and 5X
40mp only in 1X
In GA is 20mp and 5X is 8mp

I found a way to take good macro shots without having focus difficulties and without using additional physical lens.
Im using BSG gcam (MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1m) with Wichaya-8.1-1.2-Dennis-mi11Ultra.xml.
But i bet you can use other Gcam versions as well
Im using Digital Zoom with the Ultrawide by selecting ultrawide 0.6x and then pinching with fingers so it uses up to 10x digital zoom and doesn't change to the main lens.
I also leave the Automatic Focus ON, i tried the other focus types but its better for Gcam to do it automatically.
I read that, Its the Ultrawide that has the Macro features, but for some reason on Xiaomi stock camera when you use it it changes to the main camera.
Here's some examples, I haven't tested much besides these coins but I think it's the right way to go about it.
I also use the max Digital zoom 10x but i bet you can reduce abit to achieve better quality.
I also tried with my skin and fingertips and it can focus real good as close range.
If you tried it send some examples here.
Thanks for sharing this! I just tried to do a few macro shots on the stock camera and then pinched in a little bit from 0.6x to 0.9x with my fingers as well. I couldn't force a higher Hybrid Zoom on the UW on stock though but it still looked great imo.
The results turned out better than I expected (I'm running the latest v21.8.11 Xiaomi.eu weekly).
1x (no focus)
0.9x

But thats using the stock camera, you can only go up to 0.9x digital before switching to main and the focus doesnt work properly in stock app aswell

The camera is pretty disappointing in some respects for an ultra premium camera phone
In some comparisons on YouTube the regular mi 11 took better pics than the ultra and they have decided to use the 108mp camera in the mi mix 4 so i guess they realise this one was a dud
Regular cam seems ok for macro if you move back a few inches and then zoom in
Use the main lens in 50MP mode and crop. FAR better macro than using the ultra wide.
