40 MP photos WITHOUT post-processing? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello.
I'd like to ask if you can take 40 MP photos with post-processing turned OFF, which can be normally done with Open Camera or Snap Camera. I mean photos which are in JPG or PNG format right away, so I wouldn't have to manually convert and edit RAW/DNG photos.
Thank you!

Mate20pro main camera is only 40MP. No way it can take a 48MP photo.
Main camera 40MP
Ultra wide angel camera 20MP
Telephoto camera 8MP

Thanks for correcting me, but that wasn't really important in my question.

No. 40 Mpix output only in RAW format, no JPG, PNG, TIFF... If you want 40 Mpix, you must develop the raw file with Adobe Camera Raw or another similar tool.

If you change the resolution to 40 MP in the camera settings - you can take 40 MP photos in most camera modes (except in Night, Aperture and Portrait).
In the PRO mode if you turn off RAW, the output file is 40 MP JPG file.

Is post-processing turned OFF when shooting JPGs in PRO mode?

No. There is basic post-processing (no AI) in PRO mode as in every other camera - noise reduction, vignette removal, lens correction, exposure settings and other. The first image is direct save DNG to JPG, the second is direct JPG from the camera.

The only way to have the same 100% JPG as the DNG is manual import in Lightroom (for example) and save it directly to JPG.

Google Photos also converts

Note I took several shots to get the sharpest one...Shutter speed is pretty slow at 1/16. This was taken in macro portrait mode. No flash, good indoor ambient light fluorescent, Auto WB
Actually felt it was pretty good, but the time from click to capture is slow.

Similar shot in better natural light, camera response time is decent.

Issues with image:
1: Dark color speckles: If you look at the picture in actual size, you'll see the speckles. I'm not certain
what causes them, I'm guessing it's compression or NR or both. It's visible in on the Splenda packet brown letters. More visible on the blue tootsie roll, the wrapper is a solid color.
2: Wish it was easier to control shutter/ISO speeds. If you use sports mode, it pretty much doesn't allow the shutter speed to go below 1/125, which is not a bad thing, but the camera doesn't always choose a greater ISO to go along with it. The camera is able to do ISO 800, but it selects ISO 500 resulting in a dark photo. Even when I pump up the EV. Night portrait does the opposite, it pushes shutter speed down to 1/4 sec. This pretty much rules out any sort of people shots because any movement whatsoever will result in blur. Normal low light shots are done at 1/16 sec... Still too slow. Wish I could set it to at least 1/30.
3: Color dynamic range: Skin tones tend to turn out plastic due to the heavy NR. There's not gradual changing of color, just a solid look to the skin. This is most visible under low light situations.
Have to say the macro shots look better than the panorama shots (normal mode). The panoramas are significantly affected by the speckle effect. I haven't tried the dedicated panorama mode.

thank you mike, not buy this phone for me xD. Thank you for your time
is there any application can capture clear pictures in xperia mini pro?

[Q] Broken refreshing big pictures in gallery

Hi,
onthe firs step I'm sory for my english.
Last time I change my android 2.3 to ICS alpha but it don't work. When I go back to before configuration (android 2.3 with flashtool), and when I go to galery to see my pictcures everythings was fine, but when i tap and chose photo ( i take the photo before with this phone) it was refresh (but only once) and focus. But when I zoom it was blurred and never refresh. On my zte blade when i change size photo and enlrage, photo refreh again and it is clear. What can i do without instaling diferent photo manager from google play.
Go the settings>apps and select clear data for the gallery app. Hope this works.
I do this, but the problem is still stay
unmount your memory card, remove it from phone, shutdown your phone, turn it on, put card back in, wait a minute or two, now check gallery.
it still not clear when size up

Hm, I just read your post once again, and go to my phone and check.
I opened my gallery, click on image, first image is blurry then it gets clear, after i pinch to zoom it gets a bit blurry but it doesn't get any clear.
So as far as I see, that's normal.
I also find it strange, but that was across all ROM's that I tried, so I think it's normal
Ah yes, I see what you mean now. Stock gallery will never show high res photos in full resolution even if you zoom in (except for camera pics) . For instance, if i have a long rage comic (10 panel+) i have never been able to read the text, even after zooming in 100%. It's a bug or on purpose built in thing. Quickpic is better anyway

These are 2 pictures zoomed 100% in the stock gallery. 1 taken by the camera at 6MP 16:9, the other is just 1,4Mp. For the photo, I can zoom in to 100%, but for other pictures, I can't.

This is quite amazing! It's definitely one of the apps I've been looking for after seeing how limited the camera settings are (even in comparison to my old Samsung Focus).
With the Lumia 920's fantastic camera and Zeiss lens, I've even considered using it as a B-cam in projects.
I was wondering about two things for future versions of this...
- Maybe have the options either transparent or to the side over the display so you can see what you're changing.
- Add options for video recording. Maybe even a few more shutter speeds if that's possible with the hardware/software. 1/48th shutter speed could be cool for a natural film like effect.
Do we know if the camera is capable of any other frame rates?
Be honest, I have been found this app on german windows phone forum (I believe) and installed it to share capability with you.
It's a Nokia Developer project which can be found here : http://projects.developer.nokia.com/cameraexplorer
There is also the source code if you want to edit it.
Hi, how do you put this xap on your WP8?
Thanks
Windows 8 64bit->SDK 8
Can we install it using this method?
App crashes on an HTC 8X
Works on an emulator though. Will try to debug.
ok,but how to?

I've got a Samsung Omnia 7 with a custom rom, but a WP7 device. There is a camera app that can put more settings, like scenes, in my device? This app have been perfect if it had been for WP7! There are similar apps? Thank you >.<

Luminosity problem?

Hi.
I bought this cell phone because of the cost-benefit ratio, and because I am particularly interested in the camera and the battery life.
Able to expect more from the camera, but I am surprised at the high ISO level that must be added, or the slow shutter of the main camera, compared for example, with a redmi note 7 in my house, and with the front camera .
Attached 2 photos, of the same object, one rear camera and one front. Is it normal for the rear camera to more than double the ISO to capture the same light as the front?
Back
1/25s ƒ/1.79 ISO1656 4.71mm

I wonder if anyone has done this test and passes the same, or is my cell that is faulty
Sorry for my English, I'm using translator.
I cannot add the link because I am a new user.
Thanks for your replies
It's crappy implementation of HDR in the stock camera app. You can disable HDR and shot the same photo again, I bet it will have much appropriate ISO. You have two options - either disable HDR and adjust exposure manually, or if you rely on HDR doing the job for you then install some gcam port.

Thanks for your comment.
I think those photos already have hdr disabled, but anyway, I did a new test without hdr and I get the same, double ISO as the front to achieve the same light.
The same happens with GCam.
I am comparing front and rear cameras of the same cell because it is a test that another can do. What really worries me is that indoors, to take pictures of my daughter, they always come out with little sharpness, since it takes with very slow speeds compared to my wife's Redmi Note 7 (1/60 vs 1/25 for the same shot)
I've just tried taking photos of the same object with the stock camera app, rear camera in daylight indoor conditions.
Photo Mode HDR On - 1/20s, ISO 930
Photo Mode HDR Off - 1/25s, ISO 573
Pro Mode Shutter/ISO set to Auto - 1/25s, ISO 559
I have no Gcam installed at the moment. But when I was playing with Gcam HDR resulting photos were having much lower ISO.

What happens if you take out the same object and same conditions with front camera?
I very much appreciate the work that you've had.
I've got funny results
Front camera, HDR on - ISO 186
Front camera, HDR off - ISO 489
Front camera with HDR off produces similar ISO. But I'd like to point out that when you shoot with rear camera the stock app performs desampling 48 to 12 megapixels, while with front camera it seems there is no desampling and stock app works with 32 megapixel images.
---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------
All in all I think post-processing algorithms of the stock camera are a bit weird. Probably there were compromises made to avoid performance penalties. If you wanna take "true" photos use Pro mode, enable 48 megapixels, and manually set shutter speed, iso, exposure to conditions.
I've tried taking photos in Pro mode 48 megapixels and it had a noticeable lag, like 0.5 sec. Not ideal.
It reminded me times when I had Lumia 1020 with 41 megapixel lens. That's ridiculous to be honest, 6 years forward, more RAM, more powerful CPU and the same performance.

General Product Review | OPPO Reno8 5G | OPPO Ambassador (Part 3)

Continuing from Part 2 (Best ColorOS Features). Also, here's a link to Part 1 (Built Quality & Design, Performance, Battery).
4. Camera
The main highlight of OPPO Reno8 5G is the camera. As a phone photographer, I am excited to find out its performance. Let’s check about the specs and what shooting mode it supports.
Rear camera consists of main camera (50MP Sony IMX766 sensor), wide-angle (8MP IMX355) and macro camera (2MP). Front camera has 32MP Sony IMX709 sensor. For video, the default for rear camera video is [email protected], maximum is at [email protected] While for front camera video is [email protected] (max).

Triple camera setup​
Shooting mode available: Photo (default), Night, Video, Portrait, Pro, Extra HD, Pano, Macro, Slo-Mo, Time-Lapse, Dual-View Video, Sticker, Text Scanner, Soloop Templates (this won’t appear if camera is launched from lock screen)
Shooting mode available in Camera app​
While it has so many modes, I have not used them all yet. I took some samples under different lighting condition, indoor and outdoor, daytime and nighttime.
Let’s explore and check the result! Camera app is easy to use and pretty straightforward.
​
This is my default setting for Photo mode, I enable HDR AUTO and AI function, it gives me the finest photo result with sharper detail and better color reproduction.
The lens will detect the type of object inside (mine says Green Plants). The 3-dots on the top left provides more options. The google lens icon is on the bottom right for easy access. The magic wand provides various filters.
As my photos are intended for social media, I seldom use 50MP because of the storage limitation.
[Shooting with Main Camera - Photo mode]
I am doing food photography for my business in social media. And I need a good phone camera to achieve the result I want.
Under sufficient/bright lighting condition, main camera can deliver ultra-clear shots. The image quality is impressive, with sharp details and vibrant colors. AI and HDR Auto are very helpful in achieving this high-quality result even without using 50MP mode.
I notice that there is a slight improvement if 50MP mode is used. However, the file size is something to think about.​
AI on VS AI off​​
50MP on VS 50MP off​​[Shooting with Extra HD Mode]
This mode can cater up to 5x zoom. And there are filters available to use to further enhance the image result. I feel satisfied with the result without using any filter, but having the filter that matches with the final result I want will save time in editing.
​
​[Shooting with backlight]
Normally, at this shooting condition, the object would be dark so the background could be seen OR the object could be seen, and the background would be in extremely bright condition. But now…
I am impressed on how the result turns out. The object and the background have the same exposure. Also, the portrait mode blurs out the background nicely.
Well done!
[Shooting in dim-light condition]
Don’t be fooled by the lightings, since the actual condition is pretty dim. And I notice the result is good for all zoom. Any slight movement during photo taking will affect the result in this kind of light condition. In my photos, some details on the edges are not too sharp for normal and wide-angle, I think I did move slightly.
Camera mode: Photo
Location: Changi Airport Terminal 3
[Shooting for night photography - indoor]
To be continued in Part 4.
