I've seen recently released phones which have a similar setup like the G5 with one normal and another wide angle sensor on the back, such as the Xiaomi A1. And they have the ability to combine the inputs of both sensors to post-process the blurry 'bokeh" portrait mode effect.
Which makes me wonder why this can't be done on the G5/G6? How much modification of the A1 camera app would it take for this to work? I'm pointing out A1 specifically because the camera app has already been ported to other Xiaomi phones.
These other phones don't have a wide angle lens. They use a telephoto one instead which helps create the effect
You probably would not be able to just port over that app. But it might be possible to create the same effect by cropping the wide angle lens back to the same or slightly more than the standard camera. But that probably won't work too well, since you already have half the resolution on the wide angle lens, and you need to cut it down even more to even get close to the other lens' angle
The A1 uses a wide angle as the secondary camera with the primary being a telephoto. But I've seen the wide angle shots and they don't look like they have much of a fisheye effect that the LG G5 has. But I do think with a bit of lens correction this may be doable.
But I don't have the skills for this.
Sorry to diggout this old subject
But I bought a LG G5 recently for 150$, I'm very happy with (apart from ghosting screen effect) and I'm really interested in portrait mode
I'm a java developer (and recently Android), if anyone still interested, I can spend time on it, it would be possible I think
Portrait mode for lg g5 request
Please please develope portrait mode for LG g5 ... And thanks in advance ...

Hi
Do you think it was possible to produce the same bokeh effect that iPhone 7 with wide Lens ?
Thx
Manual mode and take a macro shot? We do have manual focus mode so i guess you could recreate it
Its différent because iPhone use two Lens at time to create this effect (like Huawei p9?) And actually lg cant use Lens at same time to add more luminosity
Its a Big difference.
No, it's software processing not real bokeh. It may use the other camera to calculate distance so the software is more accurate but that's it. It's physically impossible such small sensor and lens to produce natural bokeh unless the subject is in macro range.
Hi guys, I tried looking everywhere but I haven't beem able to find any info about whether or not the wide angle lens has any focus (autofocus) or even touch focus? Or is it fixed at infinity only, with no focus? Or maybe my camera is broken? For example if I put the main camera close to my leg and focus I can clearly see the hairs, but if I do that with the wide angle it is blurry (however things,far away seem clear). If I touch the screen while in wide angle mode the green focus square briefly appears, such as with the main camera, but it does not focus neither does it make the focusing sound.
Also the front camera has no touch focus or autofocus, right? This is driving me crazy, and would appreciate anu feedback so that I know if I should send my phone back for repairs or not. I heard that some G5 phones are suffering from hardware failures regarding the main camera focus, but I want to know if the wide angle supports focusing in the first place. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
H850, unlocked, unrooted, Nougat.
My wide angel & front cam are also without focus. They seems to be only fixfocus cams!

Hi,
I can see you have already created a thread on this here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/wide-angle-camera-focus-t3590660
so I'm going to close this one up
Regards

I asked this in the V20 Thread and the main reason I picked up the V30 was for the wide angle camera: Is there any way to get the pixel camera port to use the wide angle camera on our phones? I think it would be awesome if we could set it up like the stock camera app with the ability to switch between the cameras but maybe even being able to install two versions of the pixel APK, one for the regular camera, one for the wide angle one? I saw that Moment has a wide angle lens attachment for the pixel but I'd rather just have it built in to the phone than carry a lens around with me.

I gave it a run and it works great!
Hello,
i take photos from the night sky since serveral years (with smartphones too).
Unfortunately with the Samsung S9plus the stars are not pinpoint like as they are on the Samsung S7. They apear very distorted with a kind of a halo.
Ofcourse the smartphone was not moved during 10 seconds of exposure time.
I did layed it down and used the self timer mode to prevent shaking.
I tried it serveral days in comparison with the Samung S7.
The S7 is always much better and show pinpoint like stars.
The distortion of the stars is visible in the RAW files(DNG) too so no jpeg problem forced by the compression.
Could you reproduce the same problems?
I am not allowed to post links.So how to show you the photo?
Could send you the link of the uploaded photos for comparison.
The dual camera variants of Samsung phones tend to overexpose shots, especially during darker environment.
That's what I noticed, and I'm waiting for the update they sent to Note 9s.

Are you using the telephoto camera? It has OIS driven by digital gyroscopes. Those gyroscopes aren't effective at low frequencies so the OIS will slowly drift around a small amount. 1/5 second is usually the limit for sharp photos. Even when the gyroscopes are turned off, OIS lenses are VERY sensitive to motion because of the lens being on a soft suspension. Walking next to the tripod could wobble the lens.
You also can't expect clear images if you use F/1.5.
Try using the wide angle lens.
I would send a photo to someone of you so you can post it here into the Tread.
Who like to do it?
The camera was layed down on the ground so no shaking or vibration ppossible during the exposure time.
I found no setting that the OIS gyroscope is working in photo mode. OIS is probably only working in video modes.
Even if it works in photo mode, the camera was layed down, so no shaking could happen.
Who of you could make a photo from the stars with the following settings?
Pro Mode
Camera mounted or layed on the ground with direction to the night sky.
Self timer to prevent shaking
Iso 800
10sec shutter speed
F 1.4

Antwort unfortunately the tele lens only works in very good light conditions.
Even in a bright lighted room there is no way to activate the real Tele lens. The camera automatic switch to digital Zoom.
Also in pro mode its not possible to use the telephoto lens if the light condirions are not perfect.
This is very bad because if the cameras is standing still completely and the object doesn't move why not using the Tele camera lens in pro mode?
Very interesting Thanks for the link
