Hi!
I've been trying to create photos and videos about objects that are close to the camera, but the phone always focuses on the background.
Are there any way to get manual focus? (Set lenses manually) - maybe from another device/rom?
I know, there is a touch to focus in photo mode, can be usefull sometimes but not perfect.
If no chance to manual focus, how can I use the Touch To Focus option while video recording? - That can't be hardware limitation, as we can use it in photo mode.
Thanks.
I use single auto focus while shooting video, works quite well for me...
I can launch the camera with the shutter button, but I haven't been able to take pictures in still camera modes, the only ones it accepts is AR EFFECTS and TIMESHIFT BURST. I can record videos with the shutter button... However using other apps like Camera360 or Google Camera allow me to take still pics. Could that be a configuration problem? or something else?
By the way... Is there a way to change vibration intensity for incoming calls?
Try uninstalling any third party apps, I do not know why it stops the stock camera from working correctly.
Edit: third party camera apps.
its happend if u using some XPOSED modules.
I have also found that at times my case makes the button quit working.
Hello, yesterday I took a tablet Huawei Mediapad 10 link Android 4.1.2 and while I was playing with it I noticed some things.
Snapchat:
- The picture of the camera is always turned at 90 °, meanwhile in the app-a camera, everything is correct.
Messenger:
- When you choose to take a picture, it gives a black screen and crashes and can not load camera
- When you want to record a voice message and hold the red button, the tablet orientation rotates (landscape <-> portrait) for 1 second and it rings with sound similar to "error"
For now in the other app camera and audio recording work properly.
Attempts to fix:
- I downloaded another camera app and tried to make it default, but the results are the same.
- I read around the net and tried different things - none result.
- Factory Reset, without recovery of information from google account - everything is the same ...
After that I don't know what to do and I hope someone of you can help me!
Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the phone for mainly video recording.
I'd purchase a stabilizer gimbal with the phone, and use it 95% time in wide angle mode to record 4k videos.
As I don't yet have the phone it's hard for me to tell how good it is for that purpose, but I know that i'd definitely need the following things in video mode:
- turn inbuilt stabilizer off
- change exposures
- lock exposure
- manual ISO setting
- manual shutter speed would be nice, but not essential
- manual focus that stays focused on one place
- NO unnecessary focus hunting in automatic mode (God...that ruins so many videos!) - i hope the laser focus works here
These are usually fairly basic requirements for Photography mode, but sometimes they don't include these in video mode.
If they are not built in the default camera app, does other playstore camera app(like "Manual camera") work on the phone with these settings?
I currently have a Moto X Style that I love, but the video features are all automated and many of the above is locked
Thank you all for the answers

So even though there was no answer, I have went to a phone shop and tried it there. I found that in video mode manual settings are not possible at all, which is a big letdown for the G5.
I'm hoping at least that Open camera at least works on it. That should allow manual controls for video too. Has anybody tried it?
Hi!
Open camera is working fine. One of the few apps that also can use the wide angle camera!
When I want to record video with perfect audio I use my zoom h2n recorder as external mic and adjust the audio gain: perfect for rock concerts, etc.
Just buy a USB-C OTG adapter to USB 3.0 (normal size). Then connect the cable from the mic. At last - perfect audio!
the only advanced & working app I've found till date (which can EVEN change options during recording) is Cinema FV-5.
OpenCamera could be used too sometimes, if you dont have something better.
Ive mostly used 3rd party video apps with my G5, instead of the stock camera too, though its hard to find one that will use both lenses.

Hello dear friend, recently bought G5 and trying to find app that enable manual movie functions and uses both lenses, could you find any app???
Hello.
I have seen many apps that can record screen and use main camera at the same time. My Galaxy S7 even had option to use both (rear and selfie camera at the same time).
I was wondering, if there is a possibility for an app, that does screen recording (well more like streaming) and makes it availabe on device as camera.
In Short terms - I would like ability to stream my android screen with second app where i can chose that screen as camera input. As we know, TikTok allows to use front camera and back camera but can not see screen. Would it be possible to make a so called "Software camera source" where input is the whole screen of the phone and output is like a 3rd camera on phone and would be selectable as source on Tiktok app or any other app.
