Living with the faulty buzzing camera module of note 9 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Since my note 9 camera is buzzing/vibrating on 2 x zoom on the stock camera app,can anyone suggest another camera app which will produce crisp pictures and videos.The app should use full potential of the note 9 camera module,except for the the buzzy camera.
Thanks in advance.

Any camera app other than the stock camera will produce clearer pictures while zoomed in, simply because the telephoto camera (which is the culprit) is only available in the stock camera app. Digital zoom and the main lens is used instead; The best and in the end the most convenient solution is to simply replace the camera module.

APPS Cameras from other brands for Nexus 6? Slow Motion and HDR

Hi, I'm interested in using third-party camera applications.
I seek above all the following:
It works on Nexus 7.1.1 without rooting.
Record to slow camera videos
HDR of the best quality (for now the Samsung has seemed the best because I do not change the color of the photo too much, the HDR + colors a lot and there are comic photos)
I have already tried the typical Open Camera-Fv-5 DSLR Camera- Bacon Camera .... and they do not give me what I am looking for
Thank you
Camera Zoom FX Premium. It has the best HDR of the third party cameras I've tried due to it using exposure bracketing to create the shot. The exposure bracketing however means the camera is slow in taking a shot, because it has to take three shots and merge them together in software in order to create the image. This also means that moving objects in a HDR image may create ghost images.
HDR+ in the Nexus devices that support it I feel is a better option than even Camera Zoom FX Premium's HDR. HDR+ isn't perfect. It takes a shot quickly but has to spend time compositing the final image, due to how HDR+ works. It does however eliminate the problem of moving objects in a shot. This is because unlike the exposure bracketing of HDR, HDR+ brackets using film speed (ISO). The reason for the amount of time spent compositing the image is due to HDR+ taking ten images with one press of the on-screen button.
I had bought it, but I did not think it was very practical, right now I use Fv-5 and Google camera.
I really like the samsung camera application, because it does not distort the actual color of the photo,
And I do not need to do several photos to have an hdr by software. But I do not find anything similar in third-party applications.
Is there no port of the LG, Samsung, HTC camera that works on a nexus 6?
I'm not aware of any ports of those camera apps. As to the Samsung camera, it uses software to create an HDR effect. Software-based HDR by its very nature distorts the color as the HDR effect is applied to the image. As a result software-based HDR is always going to be inferior to hardware-based HDR solutions.
True, but it is difficult to do 3 photos in a row, without tripod, and many times there will be people, which will result in ghosts.
Which is why HDR+ is better than exposure bracketing HDR. I do believe I said as much in a previous post.

[Q] Does anybody know any app/flashable mod that allows for manual controls on the Telephoto lens? (No Live Focus exploit.)

Google Camera and Open Camera cannot even access the Telephoto lens. The stock Samsung app only allows you to use the Telephoto lens only during daytime, at night it defalults to digital zooming and also there is no lens switching in the Pro mode.
The only way of using the Telephoto lens is to go to Live Focus and set blur to 0. And you can't even zoom further in that mode.
HTC, Sony, LG, etc. phones allow manual mode on all of the rear cameras.
Is there any flashable modded Samsung camera that allows full manual mode on both rear cameras? Or an app that has deeper control over the cameras?
Well... It would be nice to have manual on the ultrawide front camera too like a lot of phones have. And access to the infrared one too, like on all the Xiaomi devices with that one app that doesn't work on Samsung devices because it's locked out from the user. But still... Manual mode for the Telephoto lens would be good enough for now.

Sony camera app does not use the telephoto lens?!

Recently I noticed that the stock Sony camera app does not use the telephoto lens at all !?!!
I am on the stock Android 11 (59.1.A.2.28).
Can someone else confirm or reject this?
You can simply cover the telephoto lens with your finger and switch the zoom to 2x on the camera app... (The telephoto lens is the lowest one on the back)
When I installed another camera app (Open Camera for example) it can take pictures with the telephoto and they definitely look different that that taken with the Sony app and 2x zoom.
This finding shocked me a lot! What do you think?
It turns out the software decides weather or not to use the actual telephoto lens based on lightning conditions and maybe something else..
Sometimes it actually uses the telephoto, sometimes doesn't...

Tried Open Camera, but couldn't use the wide camera, I just could use with the Sony stock camera.

What is going on with the cameras? Is there something wrong with the specs?

I discovered something strange with my S20 FE. When I open the camera and try the ultra-wide, the wide and the zoom, the last camera module is never used! I tried this by blocking the cameras with my fingers. So the middle camera is used for both the wide and zoom mode, which means that the device does not have an optical zoom camera OR the optical zoom works in a different way than I thought!
I also tried to take some pictures while covering the cameras, just to see if the viewfinder uses different cameras than the ones that are used for the actual shoot, but the result does not change (zoom photos are taken using the wide).
So here are my questions:
1) What is the bottom camera used for?
2) How is there an optical zoom if both the wide and zoom photos are taken using the same sensor?
3) Is this the same sensor/approach like in S20 which uses an 64MP sensor to shoot 3X hybrid zoom?
4) Anyone that has used the bottom camera to shoot anything? Are the specs wrong?
I've got the 5G version with the Snapdragon 865.
UPDATE!
The bottom camera is used when zooming more than 10X!!! This makes things more complicated!

Actually, the 3X camera works when there's enough light, otherwise, the main camera will be used.

1) The bottom camera is the 3X optical zoom.
2) As I mentioned above, depends how much light you have.
3) The zoom sensor of s20/s20+ is different, they don't have optical zoom , just hybrid.
4) The camera works perfectly, daylight photos, night photos with wnough light, moon photos.

Help with ANX Camera (Freeze on some features)

Hello,
My Redmi Note 9 is working perfectly with Pixel Experience ROM. And for the camera I have GCam and ANX Camera, but with GCam I cannot take advantage of all the sensors and do not have 48 MP. With ANX Camera I have detected some problems.
1. It freezes when I try to use the Macro lens options or the UW lens.
2. Filters do absolutely nothing. When I take a photo with a filter, the application closes.
3. Night mode closes when taking the picture.
Does anyone know how I can correct these problems? I am using ANXCameraUnity.190R.BontifulDistantHapuka
Thank you,
Rene
