I can't pro mode it's not available to the pixel ? How can I get good quality pro mode?
What do you mean by "pro mode"? The Pixel camera has various photo/video modes, quick settings and more settings plus advanced settings. What else would you need? Pretty unspecific post.
Manual camera controls is not available in Pixels so you have to use 3rd party camera apps.
There are Exposure and White balance controls though. Go into camera settings>more settings and turn them on under manual controls. Once you have done that, you can access them by tapping the screen.

"pro" doesn't mean its for professional photographers. Its just a marketing gimmick for "higher end features".

I'm considering buying the Nokia 8 but would first prefer to know whether or not the phone allows third party camera apps like Camera FV-5 or Snap Camera HDR to tune sharpening and noise reduction, or altogether switch these off.
Any Nokia 8 owners who have tried this and can tell if this works or not?
You can use any camera app you like
Thanks. I am sure that is true.
My question is specific. If I install a camera app that allows tuning post processing (sharpening and noise reduction), will this work on the Nokia 8?
Not all phone makers expose these controls in the camera APIs.
For example, Samsung's Galaxy phones equipped with Exynos chips does not permit tuning post processing while their SnapDragon models do this.

I have both Camera FV-5 and Manual Camera so I could check if such options are there if you tell me where to look as I don't recall seeing something like that in their preferences (I had Nexus 6P previously).
Thanks. I'll check when I reach home in a few hours.

You can check in Camera FV-5. See my screenshots where to find sharpening. If you take a photo first before adjusting and then after with sharpening set to minimum: will you see difference in quality, when zooming in to 100% ?

Well, it is by default set to 0 here (all sliders in this window are) so I would have to manually change it to higher value in order to do any comparison.
Okay, thanks. So probably doesn't work then. I guess I need to consider other phones. ?
On my current phone (Asus PFS) it's set to almost zero but adjusting it has no effect on picture quality.
Ok, when I tried to move that slider it turned out it is impossible. So that fully answers your question
Just find an app that takes RAW images and use that. Then adjust said parameters to your heart’s content
I'd rather buy another phone that supports this.
If you have Camera2 API enabled in your phone, try Snap Camera - you can tune everything here. Just enable Camera2 API in the settings, then the noise is preserved. Adjustable sharpness, saturation etc... The only option missing here for me is long exposure mode. On my Redmi 4X it allows only 1" shutter time max (still I can get nice night pictures on ISO 250 with this interval).
Also, you can try FreeDCam and disable Wavelet Denoise in the settings to turn off noise reduction.
Finally, Google Camera port is really great camera app for daily usage, especially for HDR pictures - it uses Camera2 API by default and produces amazing shots with all details (subtle noise) preserved. Unfortunately, you can't adjust any of parameters like sharpness or saturation.
All those apps are tested on my Xiaomi Redmi 4x but it will hopefully work for you if your phone supports Camera2 API.
So you tested on a Xiaomi Redmi 4x but haven't tested on a Nokia 8?
Those features are very much dependant on whether or not the phone supports them. And no way of knowing without buying the phone and testing and then finding out the good or bad news.
So far the hints from previous posters above is that the Nokia 8 does NOT support full control over post processing.
I found the settings of google camera that give the best HDR+, portraits on Nougat/Oreo Exynos devices. Compared to stock camera, GCam gives better saturation levels and detailed images. HDR+ parameters don’t hugely matter what you choose, and is all personal preference. A higher amount (very high in my case) will take a longer time to process.
New settings attached below. Clean Install is always recommended.
Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exynos.apk
3.2.9 Features
-Fixed black level back camera for Samsung Galaxy A8/A8+
-Attempt to fix OIS
3.2.7 Features
- Fixed black level front
- Enabled OIS by default
- Added saturation options in Advanced HDR+ settings
3.2 Features
- Dark Theme for settings.
- Now you can select the path where to save the photos (doesn't work on sd card but probably can work with some xposed mod).
- Removed all the snapdragon toggles. The app will know when apply that settings.
- Removed custom denoise param and other settings
- Now the app will restart every time you go back from settings to the viewfinder. This means that you don't need anymore to restart the app to apply settings
- Now there are three gestures in the viewfinder:
1. double tap on the black area it will pop the exposure menu directly
2. long-press on gallery and it will open samsung gallery instead of google photos
3. long press on the switch camera and after the restart the viewfinder brightness will be set to maximum
- some minor changes
Gcam Tool v2..32
-Prevent flipping of front camera photos
-Choose which photos you want to move
-Select custom source and destination folders
-Batch move multiple files
-Option to delete the sub folder created by Google Camera

But it seems to be a old version without the original portrait-mode. They are working on it and posted versions that are working for snapdragon but not for the exynos right now.

Not at all, Live Focus is infinitely better than lens blur. Lens Blur can't detect edges for ****. The problem with Live Focus is it requires adequate lighting for good processing. Lower light tends to do about as well as lens blur, for me at least.
Also Live Focus is fantastic as generating a gradual bokeh across the ground or a wall, it's way more natural. Lens Blur can't do anything like that.

I agree that but lens blur and live focus are totally different in work. Lens blur is a good replacement for devices like S8, S7 etc.
There's a new version that supports Portrait mode, and is working on Snapdragon variants... I've tried, but can't find any setting to work.

For me, the Google app is more natural than Samsung. The Samsung looks more artificial. Check by yourself. I installed the app as in OP. No problems at all.
Is this possible via the stock camera app at all or I need to look into Filmick (or other 3rd party apps) for such features? Auto focus and auto exposure adjusting constantly when shooting changing scenery/lighting can be a real PITA. Cheers
You can use the pro mode to focus manually and get a fix exposure.

Aaargh... I had thought of that so I had looked in Pro mode but didn't see any relevant video settings (or so I thought). Now when someone tells you it's there it somehow extends your awareness and voila, there's a camera icon on the top right corner that, wow, switches to Pro mode for video
Thanks man!
Is this camera icon shows up when you are in the pro mode? Or where? I can't see it.

Enter Pro mode, to the right you see the normal "Photo shoot" button, above it there is a camera icon, hit it and the button changes to "Rec" button and you are in Pro Video mode.
Haha, I found it, thanks man

The option for adjusting rear camera photo is missing in the default camera app. The highest setting reported from other camera app is 4096x3072. Any idea? Stock x30 Pro. Thank you.

there is not, only for front cam, depends on the mode and the ratio 4:3 is 200Mpx at ultra res mode for example
There is "Ultra-res" mode where you can shoot with 200MP. It is slow. I hope it will become better after some update.
The 50MP mode is a little tricky to find - it is called "Smart high resolution" in the setting of the Photo mode. It is turned on when there is "enough" light for it and you don't have any control over that mode.

Thx all, I really missed out the Ultra Res mode. The interface is kind of counterintuitive, especially the drop down menu, I'd call it a hidden feature.
Im very disappointed by the post processing the stock Gcam forcefully adds to every picture taken and im wondering if its possible to disable that in some developer options. Mainly the extreme contrast and sharpening. Google also disabled the function to select a different photo app as default which sucks. I stumbled over sometthing called lib-Patcher for Gcam on Reddit but have no idea how to use it.
I hope someone can help me since that would be the only big negative i noticed on my Pixel 7 so far.
You can do JPEG + RAW to be able to edit the photo yourself.
Open the camera, bring down the menu in the top left corner. Tap more settings, tap advanced. You will see the toggle there.
Note that these photos will still be pixel binned to 12MP.

Yes i know that, but that again requires lots of colorgrading since the "raw" pictures are a grey .dng with some kind of log-profile. If i take the picture and go to the gallery asap i can see the original nice picture for about a second and then it get the extreme sharpening and contrast added. That is the step i dont like. It makes Green grass and leaves look very grey and ugly because it only adds contrast and sharpening to already green mushy blobs. Similar stuff on the Shadows. If its already dark it doesnt need contrast and sharpening.
Hmm I have no idea then.
Secure Camera - Apps on Google Play
Modern camera app focused on privacy and security with QR / barcode scanning.
play.google.com
No post processing.
However, some of the post processing is done at the HAL level. There's nothing you can do to disable that.

The pictures look very pleasing and without the post processing, very nice! But there is no manual mode or am i missing something? EV-compensation for control is fine but i would like to have a slider for whitebalance too, is this not a thing with this app?

White balance would be a post-processing enhancement, wouldn't it?
In any case, contributions (which could be code or feature requests) can be made at the project repository; https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Camera

The post post processing. I can see a very nice picture and then it gets changed AGAIN.
One way is to reduce sharpening and contrast in photos app or snapseed

Un-install google photos and install Simple Gallery. Maybe that will help you overcome your post-processing problem ?

Xperia 5 IV? A lot better camera system, P7 has only one good camera, the main one. Xperia has 3. Pixel has better software for picture processing but that was your problem so maybe better of with other products
To your problem, can you download a gcam mod? Those have a ton of settings, HDR levels etc.
