Is the second back camera lens fake? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I know the title sounds a bit catchy but... The second lens of the Poco F1 is supposely for depth information.
We know that same result is achieved via software on the front lens.
On top of that, when I try to shoot in portrait mode with and without hiding the lens, I don't see any difference in the bokeh effect, or in the whole picture at all.
So my following question: is the second lens actually used or is the bokeh effect achieved via software?
Some "proofs" would be greatly appreciated!

it's a working camera but i dont know about how effective it is. you can try it out in the device maintenance page or by downloading Activity Launcher from playstore>All activities>CIT>second camera test. you can also check the ir camera there

Thanks to @nagoo1 I was able to test it with Activity Launcher. Attached samples from the same angle of view from the main and the second lens.

[Q] Camera app with levelling?

Is there a normal camera app which uses the leveltool in android?
Why? because i see lots of pictures with an angled horizon, caused by holding the phone under a slightly angle when taking pictures. (including myself)
The only apps which use this feature are the panorama apps. It starts working from the second picture till the last. I'd like to see an app which has this feature by single shots.
thnx
Here's an example of what i mean:
Take a look at the waterlevel. It's not straight. I's diffiult to get that horizontal. A gridline with a beep would be nice. I noticed on my default camera app there's a tiny gridline. i can't see it in this conditions.

Rear camera preview grainy/noisy

When loading the camera app, the preview for the rear camera is very noisy/grainy/staticy. The front camera is fine, and when you actually take pictures and videos with the rear camera they look fine, it's only the preview that looks funny. Is it like this for everyone or is something up with my phone?
Does this answer your question?

Haha, I guess it does. It's still really strange though, isn't it? Every other phone I've used is much more "what you see is what you get", the actual shots on my S6 look radically different than the preview. I guess it makes sense, especially in low light since the live preview probably has a much quicker exposure time than the actual picture.
Just look at it this way...
If you line up what looks like a good shot on the screen, you know it's going to be even more fantastic when you actually look at it lol.
Since this is basically a question this has been moved to the proper forum.

Why does 3rd part camera apps use only 8MP?

Hey guys, why that? Is it a driver stuff or?
Camera FV-5 can take awesome pictures, but using only 8MP results in 2MP for long exposure mode.
This is so bad, look what awesome pictures is could take in low light, and with "low light" I mean REALLY LOW LIGHT (unluckily I didn't realise it was out of focus it's just a try I made tonight at work)

I have been dying to know why as well. I hope someone responds.
It's the poor Sony API only supports legacy mode. They need to add full support
The current API is bugged, only returning 8.3MP to 3rd party ..... I wish they fix this issue asap bcoz there are many awesome 3rd camera out there.

Best camera setting for my needs?

I am enjoying this camera, even though I don't really now how to harness the power of it's camera..
I work in security and take pictures of license plates in a large parking lot, and experimenting with my new LG V30, I took a simple picture while driving, and could barely read any plates in the picture, even though the lighting was decent.
I am not so worried about perfect color or anything cinematic. I just need to make the camera default the the most crisp and defined setting it can handle.I am in Manual mode, but a little unsur how to proceed. Any advice? Also can I make the camera default to manual mode when opened?
Thanks!

It looks like your focus may be off. May I ask why you prefer manual mode over auto? Here's one I took in auto mode.

Having Problem with the front camera!

Whenever I capture on the front cam at 4:3 frame a line appears up after processing the photo!
And it didn't appear on first capturing!
Could you please tell me how to solve this problem?
Or any good for front camera which uses full resolution?
