Hi all .. first time i have chance to play around with the camera today.. so far im impressed ! the only thing i couldn't seem to find is the macro mode ? has the camera actually got a dedicated macro mode ? if so could someone explain how to enter into it for me . thanks in advance :good:
Just stick in auto and take your close up shots. It picks up macro flawlessly and does a fantastic job.

Attached is a crop of a photo of a wasp beetle I saw on our carpet. Picture was in auto mode. The beetle is about 12mm long. If you want, I'll drop the original on Dropbox and post a link.

Here's my 2 pence
Leaf in garden, which camera has given a nice bokah effect.
Citreon symbol from steering wheel in car.
Both in auto and camera picked up macro for both of them.

The phone automatically switched to macro mode when getting close (you can see the word "Macro" followed by the flower icon), but it seems there are distance limitations. The attached picture was taken at approx 2 inches (5cm) away. Is there a way to get better focus (aside from an aftermarket macro lens attachment)?

Hi, i have Idol 2 and my phone is taking very bad photos when using flashlight. It hase unchangeable battery so i think i cant open its case, or i dont know how.
Flash bleed-passes thru plastic part to camera lense.
Is it fixable?

sorry for bad english and please admin move this threat to proper subforum...
I notice there is same problem with sony experia z1 i think.
bump
I got the very same problem after using the flash as a torch for a long time (in fact, I had forgotten it for more than half an hour)... Now I partially solve it by pushing the back of the phone at the moment of taking a photo.. It is not a very convenient solution, but it works when you have no other choice.

Hey everyone
Since being able to sort out battery life, I'm really enjoying the P9000, but one thing still gets on my nerves, and it's the camera.
All my photos come out with a slight Magenta tinge to them (white balance out) and photos come out a lot darker than they first appear when taking the shot in the camera app.
Has anyone been able to fix this? I've downloaded the Rodriguez patch, but this hasnt helped at all.
Any help with the camera would make this phone almost perfect!

I've found selecting daylight in the white balance settings instead of auto white balance helps but unfortunately this reverts back to auto every time you open the camera app so you keep having to manually select it.

Thanks for the tip, will give it a shot Is everyone getting a purple tint in their photos?

Yeah that's what I appear to get with the auto white balance. Here are 3 I've just take, one with AW, one with Daylight setting & one with Twilight. Turns out the twilight one is the closest to life & as you can see the quality is good so it just shows that they need to get the auto settings right in software as it's no good for quick snaps.
Auto

Are you using the wide angle camera, the front camera or the main camera?? The main camera is 16MP and the other 2 are only 8MP.
It does look like you are using the wide angle camera here so the image wont be as good
Hi fellow Austrian
As the G5's cameras support the Camera2 API, you might wanna try manual mode. Using it, you are able to manually set ISO, shutter speed, white balancing and focus, while the last two parameters still contain an "AUTO" function. You can turn it on in the overflow menu.
Here are some helpful pages that helped me
- ISO/shutter speed
- ISO/shutter speed cheat sheet
-White balance

That's the worst contrast I've seen in a while. My first thought was that maybe the lens is dirty?
@Seansmit17 yes im using wide angel but if i dont use it still pictures looks like 8 bit. i will post more pics tomorrow.
@Firefrost Servus i will try it thanks but i want to use simple mode.
@ torax242 no its not.
Still same, is this looks like a hardware problem? Should i send it back? There is no settings or something.
sent back to amazon.... end
Hi everyone.
So i just got my hands on p20 pro, 2nd hand (pre-loved, as some socialites call it ?), and so far i'm loving it.
I'm considering of installing a physical lens protector cap, like this one:

}
but i noticed it doesn't have holes in between 2 top lenses, where there should be an autofocus laser transmitter-receiver set.
I tried looking up more info on how the laser autofocus works and affects the process of taking picture, but so far found none. So I thought of asking about it here.
So my question is, how useful is the laser autofocus, and what will happen if I cover it with the lens cap? Will the camera stop working (like if I cover the second camera, the phone says, 'please don't cover the lens), or the autofocus speed slows down, or maybe no changes at all?
Also, why is there no HDR mode? Is the night mode essentially means HDR mode?
Thank you in advance.
Laser autofocus helps a lot with focusing and keeping the focus on moving objects
The HDR mode is actually VIVID/SMOOTH in the tiny box i think

Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply.
Ah okay, I thought so too (that covering the lasers would hinder in AF ability), so I went with a glass cover instead for the cameras.
Thank you very much.
