Using watermarks to bring your images to life - Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion

HUAWEI's latest flagship P10/P10 Plus comes with an impressive range of camera modes, including a feature-packed watermark mode. We've put together some tips on how to use watermarks to produce stunning, professional-looking shots.
World-renowned premium optics
Known for its cutting-edge technology and quality craftsmanship, Leica is one of the world's most renowned camera manufacturers. Synonymous with quality and innovation, the company has a legendary status among photographers, although its products do not come cheap.
Sporting a dual-lens camera co-engineered with Leica, the HUAWEI P10/P10 Plus has a much more affordable price tag and promises to make Leica photography accessible to a wider audience.
The dual-lens camera comes with an all-new watermark feature that allows you to add a Leica signature to your images:

Other watermarks
The HUAWEI P10/P10 Plus also allows you to personalize your images with a range of other watermark styles. You can preview your chosen watermark before taking a photo and drag it to the desired location.
You can also add weather and location watermarks to your images. Weather and location information is automatically retrieved from the Internet.
You can edit the content of some watermarks (for example, watermarks containing text) to give your images a personal touch.

Xperia Z2 main camera quality questionable

Hello XDA,
There has been some talk about the Z2 camera and its questionable performance, especially when comparing to other flagship devices.
Here's the first comparison. From a phonearena phototest. Clearly Z2 did terrible here. Blurry all the way.

So i wasnt shure if this was a technical problem, or a software problem. Did some tests myself, taking same shot with superior auto, full manual (resized to 8mp), and google stock camera app. And heres what I found out:
Look at the bins closely. Especially the lid. Google's stock camera has most detail and did better than Sony's own optimized one! Thats a bit shocking, isn't it?
I took some more shots that day using the superior auto, and guess what - they all came out very different, even though they were shot in completely same settings. What happened with the so "softening" of the images is what I believe is distortion correction. When sony's own software tries to fix that distortion, its blurs the image slightly in some parts of the image (depening on where it wants to corrects the distortion).
here's the test - couple of shots in auto + one in manual. And the result:
I just hope sony's going to fix their algorithms and provide a little update to their camera later on. Now I need to take 3-4 shots everytime to get the sharpest out of my shot, hoping the software will not "fix" down the picture it took.
Cheers All.

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
~Firefrost
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

Disable OIS Samsung S9

Is there any way to disable the optical image stabilization on an Android device? Preferably S9 as that's what I'm using, not sure if this is a thing that can be done on rooted Android devices?
I'm using it with a full frame fisheye lens as an action cam (like GoPro) with a chest harness and so far it works great, I think the quality is a lot better than GoPro (especially at night) and the lens is wider too, but there's one kind of big problem because it is using OIS and it was not designed for bigger shakes it actually ruins the image for a split second, it seems the OIS shifts the lens out of focus whenever the phone is shaked a bit hard - you can test this with your phone by shaking it forward-up-down and then playing the video back frame by frame, it is very noticeable anyway.
So what I was hoping is that by disabling the OIS (it seems to be controlled electronically and tries to compensate for the shake) it could hopefully maybe fix this, although I'm not very optimistic by this, there are moving parts in the hardware but what I noticed is that if I shake the phone without the camera app open, the camera makes more noise/moves more versus when the camera app is open, so maybe just maybe there is a way to mod the electronic part to hold it into place all the time?
Here is a gif of an example of what happens when you shake the phone, please note that this is not motion blur, but it is actually out of focus when that happens, it is exactly the same result whether I use it in very bright lightning conditions or low.

I was really happy with the results with this phone and the fact that you can edit and share content right away, would be great to solve this problem! By the way I'm using it with a Blackeye Pro Fisheye G4 lens if anyone is curious.
