Does the TOF sensor save usable depth maps? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Do we get depthmaps as files we can use on our own from this phone or is it a closed process only for the stock camera app?

Also interesting to know: will we be able to develop our own apps that make use of the ToF camera or is it locked down and just used for camera enhancements? Would be a shame if it is, to be honest.

Huawei will be coming with an AR-Measure app soon.
This app will use the TOF sensor to measure distance, height, volume and so on.
Guess that will be reversed engineered anyway so than it will be available

Well it would have to be included in a camera app if I want to use it with photos.

Tof can be used to create a 3D pictures of a room Like 'matterport' camera.
We need only an app to make it

Google launches AR measuring app so We no need the Tof measure app.

Has anybody inspected the jpeg-files (perhaps those of pictures taken in aperture mode) whether the ToF data is somehow encoded there? The jpeg file format (metadata) might provide room for this kind of information...

Yes. usable. Downloadble. Check this app

I am pretty sure you knew about light arts using your DSLR, what about the spinning led? In case you have't seen anything like it .. here are some youtube video about these LED arts.
Well I done the same concept, but as a software
Strobe Light Art is an application for Windows Phone that you can use along with your DSLR or any camera that is capable of setting the Exposure Time. The term Light Art is a form of visual art where main media of expression is light (wiki). We have seen LED used to make an artistic way of displaying light art, and sometimes used with those motorized spin board that displays some analog clock or messages. Along with those cool electronics stuff, I present to you an application that can do the same.
In Strobe Light Art, you can:
1. Create your custom message on the fly.
2. Have your own LED effects.
3. Create your own pattern (future)
4. Save and Restore your patterns (future)
Here are the sample images I taked but using only my Sony Cybershot DSC-W220 digicam
This application was already submitted in the Windows Phone marketplace and it's on the processing of certificate so I'll update you guys once this one is up.
You might want to post the images of your Strobe Light Art creativity here please

As you'll be able to see in the pic, in low lights or even a bit of light the camera has very much noise like burning fire no matter what mode I am using superior auto or manual but when I change ISO to 400 the noise tends to almost disappear but still does, so by not messing things up is this a common software issue? I had tried several camera apps all are the same is this software or hardware/lens issue? I am running on latest 2.257 firmware

Erm, could you post a few actual pictures please? The viewfinder does NOT display the quality of eventual images as it does not apply any processing. The view from the viewfinder will always be hella-noisy. (that's a term, right? Down with the kids, me )
Actual results can be as good as this:

Camera application for 20.7 MP

Hello XDA Devs and users...
I've been playing with the camera but the bad thing is that we can't take a photo on Auto with 20.7 MP..
I know how to make the default camera on auto with 20.7MP but I don't want to get my phone rooted(personal reasons).
Can any of you suggest any good application on the Play Store(I don't mind if it's paid).
Thanks!
The only way to do it is to root your phone.
I am unsure of what reasons you would have for not wanting to root. It does not void warranty and is a completely reversible process.
But its your choice of course

If I remember correctly, didn't the Google Camera shoot automatic images in 20.7 Megapixel mode? :angel:
EDIT: Alternatively you can simply use the default camera app in Manual Mode with every setting kept at auto, except you can set the resolution to 20.7 megapixels.

Huawei 360 Camera owners

When you disable the watermark/logo in settings, do you still have a white foggy area above the phone? See photo. I am not sure if this is the just to use as a contrasting background for the black font watermark or if my camera is faulty. However surely if you remove the watermark in settings then the white fog should be removed too as it is not needed anymore?
So do I have a problem or is it normal with all the cameras?

Yes, mine does too. Seems to be Huaweis way of hiding the camera / phone from the shot
Is there any way of doing long exposure shot with this camera?
Huawei specs says that camera has up to 30sec exposure
Hello, everywhere is written that huawei cv60 360 camera is shooting 2k video, but in app written 1920x960 resolution, and this is not 2 k resolution, any thoughts ?

Not that I know of, the software would need to support it and it doesn't appear to at the moment.
Where is 2 k resolution?

In summary 1920x960 = 1843200 = 2K :cyclops: just marketing, nothing personal
This white overlay thing on the bottom of the 360 camera (white beneath huawei logo when on) is kind of annoying. Is there anyway this could be remove view editing the APK file.

how is the macro shooting on the XZ2?

Can one get any closer than the XZ1?
That's definitely one of the drawbacks I find on the previous XZ series cameras. Wondering if they've improved it or not... since it's a similar module I think I know the answer.
Here's a crop of a garden spider I took a few days ago.
just tried to take a Macro... it needs about 7-10cm to get rid of the blur... i'll do some advanced testing with Manual Mode and a tripod

Okay... here we go...
Auto Mode:
10cm

9cm (already somewhat blurry)
8cm (totally blurry)
Difference Between Manual Mode an Auto Mode is almost nonexistent
Manual Mode:
Auto Mode:
(Keep in mind, the Imgur compression which destroys the picture.... too lazy to upload original picture)
Oh... and if you think you can just switch to Manual Mode and set Manual Focus distance to the minimum... well, check the two hidden pictures above... this one is the same excep Manual Focus distance instead of Auto... same distance.
So yeah.... it's even worse -.-
Seems about the same as the XZ1, that's what I figured (but with a sharper, cleaner image).
I've been spoiled by my old Lumia 950 XL's camera's macro ability I guess.
We'll have to see if the module in the XZ2 Premium or their newer 48mp fairs any better.
Focus setting will make the difference I think
