Astrophotography - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys
I am interested did anyone tried to shoot astrophotography with this phone as it has 30 sec exposure and high iso.
If someone did can it post the photos with settings it used?

Hi,

what focus setting you used?AF-S, AF-C or MF?

I didn't take the picture so I don't know what was the focus setting ! In my case, I can't use manual focus for astrophoto because of this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ual-focus-to-infinity-results-blurry-t3937296
Actually, I do use MF in astrophotography but just to lock the focus. Then, still in MF mode, I use the tap to focus feature on something with good contrast in the distance (city lights for example). This way I can get perfectly sharp pictures.

Iv had some luck with my p20 pro (just got my 30) so I'm looking forward to trying some more.

Does Bionz or oversampling works on Manual mode?

Hi guys, just to clear things up, i understands the bionz processing and the over sampling works during Superior Auto Mode. How about during manual 8mp modes? Or even manual 20mp? Does the lossless zoom also works in manual. I tried switching between S.A and manual and muanal take better pics. So, lets start the ball rolling.
Anyone? Or its unsure too?
Whats this loseless zooming.. On my device I loose quality soon as I zoom 1.5x.. Tbh I dont think this boinz thing actually works on my z1 either

seems very few ppl noticed this. Perheps the Bionz thing is just a fake? Its stated bionz or lossless zoom only works on stock camera app. But take better night shots with FV-5 camera app.

Camera lens distrotion in 4K mode ?

Hello
I have noticed when I record 4K video that every geometric things have an ugly distortion, like square or rectrangular forms (doors, pictures on the wall, master, etc...)
See my example on my Z3C:
The frame is completly rectangular in reality but in the screen (and in the final video) there is a strange result.

(The black in the middle is normal, made with Paint because family picture )
The wide angle theory is not good for me because the wide angle effect is not in this way but in the exact other way:
So, the usual question: Is that normal and have you that too?
Thanks
Not sure what you did to get it that bad, maybe angle or distance but I can see the same effect on my phone yes.
Fortunately my laptop is not that warped.

Try to take your computer screen and see the difference, have you the same results than me?
Look the difference between auto mode and 4k mode with ugly distortion:
AUTO:
4K:
EDIT:
With steadyshot the issue is not here, it's only in normal 4K.

Taking clearer pictures on the M7?

I know that the M7's camera is nothing to write home about, but some pictures I take come out very sharp and clear, others not so much. I took these two pics minutes apart and (obviously) in the same lighting conditions:

#1 is much sharper and clearer than #2. It seems the stock camera app will allow the image to be captured before the camera is finished focusing. Then it's hard to tell if the shot is truly in focus on the small screen. I go home and upload them for editing and find half the shots I take are slightly out of focus. Most of the pics I take are posed or of still subjects, so I don't need instantaneous shots. I'd rather have the app wait the extra split second and focus properly for the clearest possible image.
Is there any way to change the settings in the stock app, or a 3rd party app that will take clearer images? I don't mind spending a few bucks for a paid app if it's good.
Bump.
Anyone?

Question camera problem in 108mpx mode

Hello everyone, I was curious about this, a few days ago my mobile arrived, when I tested the camera, everything went well. Except that when I take a photo with the 108mpx camera, sometimes you see this type of "pixels" when I zoom in on the photo, they think it is something that can be solved by some software update? I hope you have a happy evening and thanks in advance

Thats sensor noise because have too high iso, maybe you can shoot with pro mode and lower iso (decrease shutter speed) and test again. If noise go away then its a problem that software can solve.. use gcam with night mode for test too.

I just tried pro mode and apparently it gives that error when iso is 50-100, 100+ looks fine. I guess then it is solvable by a system update!. Thanks a lot

I am using BSG MGC 8.1.101_A9_GV1x and set Pixel 3 as the model for 3x Zoom Len. I got small dash marks on the photos taken with HDR on. Would you guys know which image processing settings should be tuned to reduce the marks? Thanks.
Please also let me know the technique terms to describe this kind of dash marks/noises for my research on google. Thanks in advance.
For those who are suffering the same issue like me, please see below my proposed solution:
on BSG gcam, settings->Modules->Back (3.2)->Image Processing->Enable Ram patcher (turn it on)->Enable Global (turn it on), then Main Settings -> Luma Denoise (set it to 1.625), Luma Noise (set it to 3.0)
It is not 100% solution but should reach 99%, but not sure if this affect the picture quality in other aspects. Please do share with me if you find an even better solution.
