I'm curious as to what your favorite app and settings you use for your 3T. I'm a OnePlus n00b and have been using the stock app along with Cameringo+ with good results but ideas are always welcomed. I'd do a poll but the options are endless.
Stock camera app and ProShot with noise reduction disabled. That's all you need.

Thanks but I don't see Pro Shot or Noise Reduction in the stock app. Where do I find those? I checked both Settings options.
Unless you mean Manual mode and leave everything else on Auto.
HDRa is Auto HDR, HQ is best for low light. In camera when you see video, camera etc click the cog and you can select RAW. You won't see these in your gallery but using lightroom or snapspeed (it's free) you can open a picture from gallery and it will pick up on the raw photo. These look awful to begin with as they are not processed at all and are 50mb+ but one you develop them yourself to your desired look you get some quality photos from them.

I thank you for your reply and I'm aware of the RAW format and Snapseed/Photoshop/etc. I'm more interested in the settings for most everyday use of the camera on the OnePlus 3T.
I've been having good results with CameraMX

I have been trying open camera from time to time. It allows you to enable the camera 2api and takes some great pictures. I find the flash on stock flawed at times as if the shutter speeds is off point to the flash and this overcomes that problem.
I'm not a big selfie fan or photo gay. But in my Samsung S6 I'm using stock camera application with few addons + Candy Selfie for taking selfies when I need.
Can anyone help me with the video settings.
In 1080p OIS does not seem to work at all
1080p / 60fps it does work
I cannot find any settings to alter this. Thanks.
Hi
Will Huawei fix the overexposed soft image quality of the selfie camera on this phone.
I am still on 8.1.0.103 and wondering if its been fixed in one of the newer updates as it is really disappointing
Not sure they think it's broken, it was obviously designed to do this on purpose. I know a lot of people that use beauty mode. It is rather annoying though as it can't be disabled for those that don't want to be enhanced to Ken doll like proportions lol
If you hit the photo mode rather than the default portrait mode for front camera it does help a bit. Definitely better than portrait mode. I do hope that a future update will add more control over the processing, but I won't bank on it.
I've tried many different camera apps, and the overexposure and softening occur as soon as the camera detects a face. Haven't been able to find a solution yet.

im 99% sure it can be disabled with root - its got to be a setting that detects faces.
we;d need someone to go through the source (if they ever release it)
once i root my p20 ill stalk around to try and find a property.
Sorry, i dont have phone yet. But, if you use some other camera application, will it be the same problem?
Its definitely a setting built into the kernel/source code because using another camera app will not override the setting. It only focuses on the subject (face) and blurs out the background which should not be the case
I have rooted P20 pro, and there is a ton of properties and definitions xml files for different modes and effects in odm/camera folder. For example there is something called "casiobeauty" among others But, to mess with those parameters someone has to have knowledge. So, i guess effects can be modified, if there ever will be someone of knowledge and will to do it
You all may want to install CameraMX from PlayStore.
It gives out high resolution and high qualoty images. Selfies taken by it are noticeably sharper than the p20 pro stock camera. Also, there is a slider to adjust exposure for the front cam (something that is missing from the stock). In addition, the app also supports HDR for the selfie cam as well.
You can give it a try...

Uploaded the wrong photos the last time sorry..
For the photos below, the washed out one is taken with the front camera native app. The better one is with cameraMX app.
Note: No editing done, same lighting condition, almost the same hand position, same angle.
It is very evident that the native camera app is washed out/overexposed.
Well, the CameraMX photo isnt perfect but for me, it is 80% better than the stock camera.

Hi - Is everyone certain this is a SW issue? I don't know a ton about cameras but is it possible there are defective front facing cameras on a bunch of these devices?

Hi, I'm pretty much sure it's a software issue as the original photo can look so much better when you edit it. And, you can also use other camera apps
There is a workaround on the overexposed p20 front camera images using the Google Photos Editor App
(I've read it from another XDA thread).
The results are stunning! It's almost as if the photos were taken using an actual Google Pixel front camera! (In my opinion)
I suppose the image enhancement algorithm for the Google Photos app is similar to the image post-processing of Google Pixel phones.
Note: Google Photos is commonly preinstalled along with Gmail, Hangouts, GMaps.
Step 1 - Snap a selfie using the native app
Step 2 - Preview the photo and click the (...) at the bottom right
Step 3 - Click Advanced Edit ---> Select Google Photos
Step 4 - Select the second icon next to the filters menu.
You will find 3 sliders (Light, Color, and Pop)
Step 5 - Slide Pop all the way up, as well as Color.
You may tweak the settings more for Color and Light too!
(There are more options when you expand it)
Step 6 - Click Save.
Find sample photos below:
Just got a P20 Pro and this is seriously my biggest hate with this phone! The rest is great (except my google pay not working) but the front camera makes me look like a ghost on any image!
I'm on update 128 and the front camera still overexposed.

Yes, I second that.
Whenever I shot a photo from front or back camera, it either doesn't focus at all or takes shaked photos, even when I seem stable with little motion, resulting in bad photo due low shutter speed. Does anyone else experience the same? Is it some hardware issue or it is software? The photos are usually blurry and overexposed. It seems like phone needs a tripod even with 'good light'. It results when I shoot the photo only, because in preview before I take the photo, everything seems focused.
The configuration I see in metadata is usualy 1/20 of shutterspeed with 400 of ISO, AI desabled. Mate 20 lite supports 3200 ISO, so what's the deal? I had Nexus 5X before, and I never experienced such an issue. In low light it was grainy, but focused with 3 years old Nexus 5X, what's with the mate 20 lite?
1. What are the results with the AI mode enabled?
2. Have you tried using the 'Pro' mode where you can adjust the ISO etc?
3. Can you upload full resolution images somewhere? I use imgit.org as it keeps exif data, but whatever works for you.
Hi, having the same "issue", also when trying to capture details (almost Macro photo) camera cant focus correctly....i went from a P9 to the Mate 20 Lite and i'm a little disapointed with the camera quality....hope that the problem it's some sort of configuration....
I always use Gcam.
I use stock app only for extremely lightened scenarios, not even with night mode (with AI stabilizer) because the quality's not the best.

In some dark pictures, the difference is bigger between stock app and gcam app. Try taking a picture with flashlight with both apps in the night and you'll see the difference. (The difference is not only in that case)

Maybe you're right, but i didn't use flash too often. In other hand, maybe have little more details in low light situations but with more noise compared to stock camera app. Even on day shots in shadow area visible noise to me.

In some pictures I take with stock camera (specially in dark situations) there's a blue tone rounding the photo and it's horrible. I prefer to take photos with gcam than Huawei cam. I hope Huawei solve the low quality of the cam in an update.
I had the P20 lite before Mate20 Lite and it took better pictures than Mate20 (even with the higher specifications of the Mate 20)
Hi everyone. I'm using the new Poco X3 since yesterday and it's a blast. Do you know of any GCam port available for this phone?

You can Install it without Any risk additionally to the MIUI Cam and try it.
In my oppinion everyone Sees a Picture different, so try it an decide for yourself which Looks better for you
Use Nikita Gcam

Thanks for the videos, might wait a bit then. But the selfie camera is way better with GCam though.
gcam version: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.2-fix.apk
Cons:
0,6x is Macro sensor and
, 2x is actually UltraWide
No UltraWide/Macro Video
No 64M mode
No Bulb Flash in photo mode
Macro is better in stock
Pros
Sharper in low light than stock
UltraWide NightSight works, stock nightmode only in main camera
Less chromatic aberration
Focus tracking in photo mode (need testing)
creared question se below
Same bug here, wide and macro are changed (v2.2 with no extra config)

sure ?
0,6x looks like Ultrawide (zoom out)
and 2x looks like a zoom in ( Makro ?)

Gcam must be adapted for each device, right?
What's the point of using gcam if there's not a device-specific gcam for us yet? At least afaik

Edit: here are some night pics:
btw for those interested, I managed to adapt a config from K30 in Wichaya's cam (most work is camera IDs, all quality settings and such are my preference, but didn't go into the advanced ones, for AWB I used the "most similar" camera setting, which is the poco x2 one) not sure if the best or not, feel free to edit the config, and share the config with us if you are good with photo settings )
Everything I tested (macro, 0.6) is working (mostly similar to what bacitoto posted, except cameras have the right "name"), except:
1- Bokeh effect in portrait mode (idk if that gcam can support it, no slider i think)
2- Zoom bug in front-camera VIDEO recording (there's a workaround, just zoom upto 1.01 and it works fine, 1.00/default zoom looks like 500.00 zoom :S).
3- Macro/0.6 crash on video, but I think stock camera doesn't support that aswell?
4-other things i'm not even aware they exist?

i'm not an expert, but works
for me, gcam is years away versus stock camera, at least when taking photos at my floor :S (it has wooden details and such)
PS: You might want to use 4:3 instead of 16:9, 16:9 loses too many MPs

I've swapped to arnova gcam using pachenko's config (htcmania) tho, he knows better about libpatcher configs, and in arnova there's no front zoom bug (it has a workaround here anyways, so experience is similar)
Can you share the config and the apk?
I've tried a whole bunch of camera apps and so far the stock app is the only one that seems to be able to access 60fps recording. Every camera2 probe app I've tried reports 30fps as the max reported speed the device can use which makes me think Oppo have locked out any other apps from accessing it.
Another possibility I'm wondering is if it's not actually true 60fps at all - and it's actually using frame interpolation at 30fps to create the 60fps - although it does seem more natural playing back the recordings and doesn't seem to have the slightly "unreal" look that interpolation usually gives.
There also seems to be no way to select any other camera besides one of the main cameras on the back and the selfie camera on the front when using 3rd party apps.
It just seems a bit of a f-you to have them tout the camera setup as a main selling point of the device while at the same time locking out other apps from using basic recording features like 60fps and making no mention of it. 3rd party apps also exist to provide additional tweaks and features that the stock one lacks and I was disappointed to find Filmic Pro and Open Camera can't access 60fps and has trouble with the shutter speed to stop the zebra stripes/banding in some lighting scenarios.
Have you tried porting Google camera? I just downloaded a modded port and can record at 4k 60fps. Looks Pretty good also.

Hey any chance of a link to the one you are using?
I have tried a few different apks and the only one that would actually install (or open) is the Camera PX v.8.1.008.341125824.
It suffers from zebra striping indoors and outdoors, pressing on "slo-mo" force closes the app, captures of both pics and video are fairly noisy or grainy, 4k mode force closes as soon as I switch the option and it doesn't have an option I can see to choose framerate.
Definitely would like to try a fully working one.
