Camera question for a moving subject - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I am struggling on the phone and on the go, and I confess I am having a hard tim multitasking with this one.
For those who know about the Samsung camera, where you used to long press the shutter button and the camera would snap up to 100 photos of a subject whilst in motion, say someone jumping up and down, and you would be able to chose the best one of the entire jumping session...how can I make this with the Huawei camera?
Thank you so much.

Same with the p20 pro

How is it the same? When I press it... Once or long press it... Only one photo gets snapped...

It is the same, long pressing the button takes multiple shots in quick succession. Burst shoot is an option in settings but was already enabled on mine. It shows as one shot in the gallery until you open the photo, then they all show up in series

Enable Burst in settings

Yes, I have found out now why I wasn't getting that option before, because my settings were for 40 MP.
and it only works when you have them on 10 MP
Thank you so much!

[App] SpyCam - use your Mango phone as a hidden camera!

Hi,
I just want to share my app with community - the app is called SpyCam and it's pretty simple - you can use it for taking pictures using the main camera in predefined interval. The pictures are then saved into Saved pictures folder in Pictures Hub. But what is so unique on this app - it works under lockscreen - that's right, you start the photo shooting, press the on/off button to turn off the screen, plant is somewhere and let it take photos secretly
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
I tried to put it on Marketplace, but it failed two times because "it appears that this application promotes spying". According to the certification guy it's not allowed in certain countries to have such app. Strangely there is lot of similar apps in MP for recording sound under lockscreen, so I don't know where is the problem.
I had big plans with this app, because the idea of taking pictures under lockscreen is quite tempting, but with the fail during cert process I don't have strength to develop it further. (Skyrim is more important right now I got even somewhere my technology demo based on SpyCam for storing taken pictures on SkyDrive, so it basically works as a live webcam - you can watch what's going on in front of the phone on Internet, but it's not stable enough for general release.
Feel free to use it under condition you wont try to publish similar app on marketplace Let me know, how it works. Note although it's not 100% stable, it should just work most of the time. I'm using there a bit of thread magic to handle all that PhotoCamera callbacks and async calls for taking photos and storing them, so nothing is guaranteed
And one more thing, you just need Mango and regular dev unlock. Interop unlock is not necessary Tested on HTC HD7
Don't hesitate to share it using Twitter or other media
my address: twitter.com/martinsuchan
Edit: uploaded two screenshots
Also my second try in MP used different name for the app: 'myCam', but they rejected it with the same message
Edit: This app does NOT work on WP8 as I have just discovered, it even causes freeze or random reboot!
Good work Sir!
Shame the Marketplace Police have no sense of humour
N3croman
cool app , thanks man. upload in marketplace
Works exactly as you said . I am getting a video done will post it here. Reviewed it on WPXBOX. com However I dont get to understand how to make it work under lock screen. I tried pressing the camera button when locked but nothing happened.
Check out the video here.
Under lockscreen
You need to check the "run under lockscreen" option in settings and then restart the app (press Back button in the main screen and start is again).
Then start the shooting (optionally wait for the first pic to be sure), and then press the on/off button. Now it should take photos in selected time interval.
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
If you have selected 5s interval wait about 20s and then press On/Off button again, unlock the screen and if everything worked as expected there should be new 3 or 4 pictures
this app is great and cool and has a big potantial
well done (graphics, functionalities...)
ty
but can i wish a request, could you add a feature to enable flash/led on photos? (i know that this make the app less spyfull... but i'd like to keep pics during nighttime, i.e. of my pets while sleeping or to see what i did while dreaming ^^)
fyi
tried on omnia7 interopped latest fw
Thanks. Yes it took me time to realize on this. But loving your app here.
You might think of integrating it with Dropbox or a cloud service to give option to someone to upload it right there. Just an idea

I realize some countries may not allow it, but couldn't you just submit to certain countries?
Rename the app to "Time Lapse Capture" and change the description to be as such. Problem solved
Very good thank you
Awesome app with great potential
As suggested in a previous post I would resubmit as a time-lapse photography app, that's what I have downloaded it for, I will test it while climbing mountains and then relive my route after. What's the chances of of getting a 5 min interval option. Great work don't give up on getting it on the MP pls
Hi,
Your app sounds like a good idea. Will try it.
Don't give up, good luck with the re-submit!
Great app!
Have great protential too bad MS isn't into great apps :-(
Nice app, thanx

[Q] Keep the LED on for taking pictures??

Alright, so I can't find the answer to my question anywhere so I am posting here.
Is there anyway to keep the LED light on for taking pictures? I hate how the LED only turns on when the picture is actually being taken because the pictures are always out of focus or over exposed. I would like to either have a way to keep the flashlight running in the background with the camera on or some other kind of mod to do essentially the same thing.
I am on rooted 4.3 with S-off. If you need any more details, let me know!
EDIT: Alright, I found a flashlight app that keeps the flashlight on without being in the app or the screen being on. The problem, however, is that if it is on, the camera app says "Unable to start camera" when I try to open it. Perhaps the stock camera app needs a mod to allow the LED to be on when launched?
MrFrizzy
You could always start videorecording and keep the flash on during the entire recording. Meanwhile you can tap the photo button to take pictures. Delete the videoclip afterwards. Thats the only way I think. Or maybe with an app, but I have no clue which one would suit your needs.

While that would work if I really needed it, the pictures would be 1920x1080 instead of the 4mp. I'm really looking for an app or mod to allow the flashlight to stay on without the app being open.

I can't find my raw photos

I have the rear camera set to Save RAW and JPEG files. I also have the camera app set to save to SD card. However, when I take a picture, I only get a JGP. I've looked in the DCIM subdirectories on both the SD card and Internal memory. I only see the JPGs on the SD card.
I've got to just be missing something stupid. Any ideas what that may be?
kbanes
Was about to ask the same question. Where's the raw???
did you switch your camera into Pro mode? I think it won't shoot RAW in Auto or burst mode. Otherwise you'll have 2 pictures next each other, with JPG and DNG extensions.

Shooting in PRO mode did the trick. Thanks.
So, where do I turn on "Pro" mode?
I can't believe that I'm having this much trouble. [HeadSlap]

I don't know why that was so hard for me. But I appreciate your help.
Another awesome and useful (for me anyways) tip, when recording VIDEO with the flash on, you can tap centre of screen and drag the flash brightness adjustment up or down to adjust. I've been wanting this feature since my Note 4 and it finally exists.

You can also say "Open camera in Pro mode" with Bixby
Still, where is the RAW copy saved? I can't see it anyhere with "My Files" neither in gallery. Adobe Lightroom shows nothing if I only leave the "RAW" option checked. Yes, of course I have tried in Pro mode and the RAW saving is enabled.
LE : Problem solved. You can't use custom color tone. Only thing is, i didn't get the error when i switched into Pro mode.
Sorry, how can I turn custom color tone off.

This has been a really helpful discussion for me, pretty much a neubie, though only realised this when I hadn't tried swiping right in camera in over a year of use!
Could someone be kind enough to share how can I turn custom color tone off. I'm not exactly begging, well actually I am.

Sorry for the really late reply. I hope you found out by now.
If not, you just have to open the "Tone" tab which is in line with the other settings like ISO, exposure time etc and just reset the setting
hi guy, are you ok with a problem? Can you check saving raw file => switch to camera pro mode => reset filter to Standard mode => take picture (raw,jpg)

Strange camera behavior when using AI button

Hi all
I've just run into one of the strangest problems.
I have assigned the "open the rear camera" option to a long press on the so-called AI button.
Strange enough, pictures taken in the camera app opened after long pressing the AI-button, don't save on the device. They just disappear and are not visible in the gallery either.
When I open the camera-app with the regular shortcut, taking pictures works normally and I can find these pictures in the gallery as expected.
I really can't get my head around this. Is it a bug? Can anybody else replicate this?
me too
Same here reported the problem in another thread earlier already

are you using Global or China?
and how did you map the AI button?

Global , and the AI button double click to go to the Camera
Weird that not more people report this problem.
**edit** Does work with setting click twice volume down key, you will get the normal camera mode.
The mode the camera gets in when pressing the AI button has just 3 modes and doesnt save pictures, very very weird bug.
Global Rom indeed.
I mapped the AI button to the camera in the settings menu. There's no way to choose which app opens, there's a limited list and one of the options is "rear camera".
What Magst64 says is correct: only 3 modes in that camera app and pictures cannot be saved.
I'll see if there's any way to make a bug report.
im stuck on China rom until i unlock bootloader, so cannot check.
i would suggest to raise this bug on the MIUI forum.

Question 8K Time Lapse for S21U?

Hi, I guess hard to get 8K30fps, but how to let 8K Time lapse possible? Third software can't use 108MP camera, that's the point. Thanks!

Yes you can... i think more then 8K. Because worh 40mp you can make 8K, woth 100mp you are making more?
How to make? Easy. Just download application Intervalometar, make settings how many photos, time, and etc... you will see it. Hope to see your timelapse soon
Yes, even more than, 12000*6750, point is, Intervalometar can use that 108MP camera or not, most of third app only 4000*3000, let me try now.

Intervalometar is a tool. And that app can use every camera app which you want. So that meen Samsung camera app can be use with 100MP.

Don't worry it is not hard at all. You have so much tutorials on YouTube.
You need just to configure:
1. How many photos or infinite,
2. How much time do you want or infinite,
3. How much time between the pictures you want it to be so that the picture again,
4. And at end locate a red circle wher is the camera shutter button
That's is all
