Google Camera and HDR +

What is the meaning or description of technology HDR +
Specifically, in our case, the Google Camera allows you to take pictures not at the level of the Chinese state employee (like a native camera), but at the Google Pixel level (a phone from one of the best cameras on the market) at the expense of a similar camera module and ported algorithms.
Of all the mods (the one with the Pixel | Nexus camera), the following versions are relevant: 3.2 and later 5. * and 6. *.

Where to begin?

If you have Android 7 or higher , download the latest version of version 5.1, best from Tolyan009 (or al_ro, it adapts to our phone) with manual focus (mf postscript to the name of the version).
Configure as follows:
In advanced settings

• Model: N6P
  
• HDR + configuration: Auto
  
• HDR + options: High or Medium
  
• Black level settings: Enable for main camera, set all 4 color settings to 63.70
  
• Photo resolution in blur mode: 12 Mp
  
• Final quality jpg HDR +: 95% (if you are going to process the photo, then 100%)
  
• Enable HDR + on the front camera: yes, if you are on custom firmware with Android 8.1
  

If you have Android 6 , then install one of the versions 3.2 (it doesn’t need to be customized). It has better color rendering, but the gluing algorithm is worse: on fixed objects the picture will be more pleasant, but on moving objects artifacts may appear.

• пїЅ The originals and clones of GCam, exactly working on the Mi5S
  (For versions 6.1 and 8 of the android, you need to work correctlymodule )
  
  
• пїЅ Current version of GCam 3.2 (no need to understand the settings, are well suited for shooting people (but not moving children)) (Android 6+)
  
• пїЅ Collection of all available GCam mods (not necessarily suitable for our device) (Latest versions mainly for Android 8+)
  

• Installation instructions and recommendations for setting up Google Camera (+ description of developer settings) (Replenished).
  
• Android 6: GCam up to 3.2; Android 7: GCam to 5.1; Android 8: GCam to 6.1.
  
• How to use configs in the latest GCam

  • The config is a quick preset of settings created by the user for the fastest and easiest change of settings for certain situations.
  • Configs are stored along the waysdcard/ Gcam / configs /
  • You can save the config from the application settings.
  • Restoring the config is done through the config menu, which can be accessed like this:
• If Google Cameradoes not work on custom firmware , you need to delete files:
  System / etc / permissions / com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
  System / framework / com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
  
• Google Camera may not run on firmware without GApps
  
  
• When installingnew versionThe mod is highly recommended: clear the data of the existing application, delete it, put a new one.
  
• After changing the GCam settings, unload the application from memory and start it again.
  
  
• Portrait mode and HDR + for Mi 5s front camera availableonly on Android 8+. At MIUI, it does not work. The firmware core must support "cam2api level 3" for the front camera
  
• Mode "Portrait" in any case creates a separate folder for each pair of photos.There is a menu item in advanced settings.
  
• ZSL (zero shutter lag) is available on the pixel config with auto HDR +. At the same time, the phone takes a photo constantly, and after pressing the shutter, it immediately starts to process them. It is not always useful for the quality of the photo + sits the battery.
  
• GCam clones are needed to put several versions side by side for comparison or sharing. Package names have been changed. Also most often the sounds are cut out. in version 3.2, they cannot be disabled otherwise.
  
• RAW in GCam is not an ordinary snapshot of information from the matrix, as you might expect, but ratheralready processed by photo algorithms that are not compressed in jpgThat allows you to be a little more free in the post-processing.
  
• Item augmented reality in gcam

Video recording

• Module to activate video stabilization in 4k(Miui and custom, Android 8)
  
• FHD * 60fps, 4k * 59.9fps, HD * 240fps + camera applications for this(updated)
  
• FHD * 60fps via Google Camera on Android 8.1
  
• 1080p 120fps without flashes on LineageOS 15.1 and MIUI 9
  
• 60 fps for Android 6(miui 8)

Useful

• Module for improved camera performance from eszdman (GCam 6.1 on 8 android, 60fps, long shutter speed in GCam, improved focus and the rest)
  
• Launch Nubia Camera (for shooting the star path)
  
• Increased shutter speed for ALL camera applications (even for GCam)
  
• Collection of mods (bile data, patches) from Wave Generator and eszdman for different versions of Android (TWRP)
  
• RAW and manual settings

  For shooting in RAW with manual camera settings (long exposure, manual white balance ..) you need to use third-party applications (Proshot, Camera FV-5, Snap Camera HDR Manual Camera). However, shutter speeds of up to 1/2 or less will be available. To add the ability to set a second or longer shutter speed, apply a patch.

  SI used the V1 patch (even though they write there that it is not, it works on miui (but maybe I was just lucky, so in any case, make a backup))
• STo remove sound when recording video and taking a photo, you can rename or delete system files with camera sounds (delete system's path on system / media / audio / ui path | rename files "VideoRecord.ogg", "camera_click.ogg", "camera_focus.ogg" ).

I rebuilt the patch for mi5s.

So you got a Camera2Api in Mi5S? Try using this in Snap Camera. I think it will be interesting.

Someone in a general topic wrote _Raw only shoots in auto mode, in the manual it is not_

It does not work together, I hope they will in the next versions.
Examples, HDR mode exposure compensation -1EV. In the standard camera, the exposure metering wants to lighten the photo all the time, and rerun (you can reduce it in the settings).
I played a little more, I think it's better not to set the ISO to more than 400 and not to take it off in the dark.
It will be necessary to try to shoot in raw, perhaps Adobe CameraRAW still does not know this camera.

and-roid,
It is a pity of course that Xiaomi can not realize all the capabilities of the sensor.

If it's not difficult for anyone, then tell me about the camera (and there are so many different reviews on the network): are the images in automatic mode poor (if yes, how many)? For high-quality photos, you need to unlock Camera2API + use a third-party application?

With good lighting, it is better / comparable to iphone6, which in my opinion, is very good with a photo. If you squeeze the maximum, then yes - this is cam2api and raw processing on the computer and in good light will be almost like from the initial level of SLRs / mirrorless.

What about HD stabilization and FHD?

[circassian07]

cremia
meant at 120 fps. Can video examples be 120 and 240 fps?

Although I will give an example here, the Rav with the manual steers always and everywhere on the example of samsung S6:

I do not see any "manual taxis" in the above example. Just automatic turned out to be more accurate than your eyesight and hands. Your picture on the manual settings is simply overexposed, and the noise is generally hellish.
I do not see the point, in good light, to shoot landscapes in manual mode. Why, does the machine often make mistakes? That is unlikely. I even often look at the parameters of the automaton on the mirror for such images, and then on their basis I decide whether to change the exposure or not. I only change if I need to get some kind of artistic picture. Your landscape is already saturated, 99%, so that the machine will take a picture in such conditions better than you.
It is better to use the handles where the light is ambiguous, or the machine does not understand the light that you need - premises, twilight, other causes of poor light.

And then, you shot at S6. I do not have a Samsung, but it is believed that he shoots perfectly well today, and Saomi cannot even with him, not so much with the seven. Not sure you made the right decision to replace.

Tell me, please, how they set it up. I only have 120 shows.

Clearly the reason for the terrible quality of the photo, with ISO more than 400. In the photo ISO682
Bluechannel is just creepy!
Greenthe best
All business, in the small sizes of pixel. At full frame from 4.5 microns. we have 1.5. On sony a7r, I do not usually put more than 1600. Here it means that it should be divided by 3. A total of 800 is the limit.

Just how long it takes from getting the phone out of your pocket and before saving the picture.

I think if you adapt it then three or four seconds is enough, but! there is another interesting mode - the volume down button is configured so that when you press and hold the phone starts a serial shooting, and this in sleep mode and not turning on the screen, it may be interesting for a straight photo. I ran a small test - a photo of the stopwatch on the monitor screen, the phone is asleep, I press on the 10th second .. respectively, you can see the first frame 1.1sec-of the tests, the first frame is always out of focus and with the wrong BB, the second frame is 1.5 seconds and so on.

Yes, the service is really good, I've been using it for a long time. and what we see when comparing? It’s true that the quality on the A5 is worse, even though it has iso500 versus iso2000 in mi5s, and the detailing is worse and the A5 noise is stronger (in my opinion) ..

Xenod,

How do you know what the source was? Did you keep a candle near? This is a photo in the mountains of Georgia at sunrise with a bright summer sun.
No overexposure, as well as the stock peresharp and the typical care in blue imx240 th

As for changing the phone, we'll see. The choice has already been made. Not satisfied back back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBRaXELhXeU- An interesting comparison with Mi Note 2, except for the stub in the video (as I understood the author shot in 4k) 5s is better everywhere — and the front-end, and the main one, is especially visible in the photo. What was said is that you don’t put a 22mp (Mi Note 2) into a sensor that is comparable in size, but in a bad light the sensor will be worse in which the subpixels of the matrix are smaller and the notes2 have less than a third.

And for example, it was laid out very badly :)

but in my opinion nothing good, an exposure of 8 or 16 seconds is not serious, foolishness .... I would like examples from hand as far as possible
