Camera app - option missing vs p20 pro - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi there,
Just upgraded my P20 Pro to a P30 Pro. So far I'm fully satisfied with the p30 pro but I'm seriously missing an option from the camera app. There's no way to make a picture by simply pressing on the screen... With such a big screen it's kinda hard in situations where you can only use one hand, to focus and take the picture. I much appreciated this option on the p20 pro...
Is there a workaround or should I try another camera app ? Which one would you recommend ?

Maybe you can use ur VOICE? Go to the settings and switch it on - then u can use CHEESE to make a picture.

Could be an option but won't be efficient in all situations unfortunately... I can't understand why they removed it...

Intelligent screen on and smart rotate

I'm surprised not to find those options on my P20 Pro !!
I saw that features on Honor View 10 review and it was normal for me that P20 Pro will have at least the same but i don't see that option anywhere.
I'm so disappointed !!
Yes I really liked the idea of smart auto rotate (apparently it would check on the orientation of your face to see whether it should auto rotate).
Any alternatives?

bad (weird) photo quality on p20 pro

Hello

I never saw such a bad quality on P20 Pro. If you really want to take 40mpx photos,you should use Pro mode anyway,and change the focus area to wide to capture a detailed photo,otherwise by default(in any mode) the focus point is in the center,looking for a person/object. But even with default it should be a lot more clear. Be sure to update your phone using HiSuite for PC and reset the camera app. Best pictures are at 10mpx because it captures more light and they are downsampled from 40mpx. Also,at 40mpx it only uses the 40mpx RGB camera. Use photo mode for normal pictures,night mode for low light if you don't enable master AI,and Pro mode for more control. Be sure to understand all the settings,especially focus modes. Your picture was in a low light environment,you should have sticked to 10mpx,or Pro mode(but at 40mpx some settings are not there because like I said,it does not use all the cameras)

HiSuite say im using newest official update clt-l29 9.0.0236 (C432E5R1P9)(official version)
i made hard reset and roll back to 8.0 and didint help , also cleared cache/app date
can someone put photo from p20 pro in similar conditions ?
The 40MPix mode is amazing if you want to a) capture most of details and b) if you want to play with photo in Snapseed or PSe for example. I use is because it doesn't do HDR, that CAN be too aggressive when 10mpix is enabled. Can you share this photo somewhere else, because zippy share is overflow with advertisment.
Jpeg from raw
For example - jpeg made from raw in pro mode, edited in lightroom mobile.
EDIT: ooops, xda scrambled quality...
Btw I do not see a problem in your photo. If you zoom 100% of course, the photo will not be sharp nor pleasant to see, but 40MPixs can surely be printed for example on A2 and look gorgeous (in fact, everything >12MPix will). The point is, you took picture against the sun, that means it had to deal with huge amount of direct sunlight, that's probably the reason the grass and mud is so... well... not sharp. It's partly simple optics and party too agressive postprocessing.

Anyone moved from P20 Pro to P30?

I don't want a phone bigger than 6.1' The new Mate will be even bigger, so I ll probably move from P20 Pro to P30.
P30 pro is also too big for me. and I want to stay with Huawei
Can anyone confirm below:
P30 over P20 Pro
- Lighter, smaller and same screen size
P20 Pro over P30:
- no LED notification
- 10% smaller battety
- easier for holding in the hand
Questions:
- is the battery life similar?
- any fingerprint problems? (P20 Pro has a fantastic one)
- is the new app form xda for call recording working on P30?
- is the sound through the headphones good? in P20 Pro it's ok but not loud enough
- is AOD showing third party app notification?
- is the camera comparable? (I am not a photo freak)
Anything I should know before the change pls?
Thx

Question Camera software difference between X60Pro+ and x70Pro+? Is it possible to get the camera app of the latter for the X60 series? (Zeiss shooting mode)

I am very interested in getting the camera app of the x70 Pro Plus for my X60 Pro Plus, specially for the aforementioned Zeiss shooting mode where the colours in images might be more natural / better
One can try to use the camera app on the x60 pro plus on the x60 pro plus after making sure to back up the older one
And try it out
We can try asking for someone to upload the app from the x70 pro plus forum
Edit I checked the other thread and it seems that it doesn't work and would ruin the stock original one too
It wud be great if someone who had the skillset work on porting it for the x60 pro plus
Thanks for the heads up that the app by itself doesn't work. Let's hope someone can port it.
On a separate note, the original camera app used to brighten the skin and smoothen it even when the said settings were turned off. I reset my camera app once and doing so solved that issue for me and improved the image quality to the original release level, specially for the 32mp 2x telephoto.

That's great I just reset my phone yesterday so far the battery life has seemed to have had an uptick compared to the last time and I debloated almost all the apps except for powerguardian which I had done so the last time and doing so led to worser battery life
I have to force doze via adb for naptime to see if I get back the amazing battery life I had seen during the initial weeks

Hey, how did you reset the camera app?
I had done so on Android 11 via system app manager, that allows resetting / uninstalling updates on the default vivo apps. Though I am not able to find the same settings on Funtouch OS 12 now
On an unrelated note, has anyone managed to make Gcam 8.4 work on the x60 pro plus with Funtouch OS 12? I can only get versions up to 8.3 working, 8.4 version apps can be installed, but crash on launch and I don't know why
