Hi everyone.
So i just got my hands on p20 pro, 2nd hand (pre-loved, as some socialites call it ?), and so far i'm loving it.
I'm considering of installing a physical lens protector cap, like this one:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
but i noticed it doesn't have holes in between 2 top lenses, where there should be an autofocus laser transmitter-receiver set.
I tried looking up more info on how the laser autofocus works and affects the process of taking picture, but so far found none. So I thought of asking about it here.
So my question is, how useful is the laser autofocus, and what will happen if I cover it with the lens cap? Will the camera stop working (like if I cover the second camera, the phone says, 'please don't cover the lens), or the autofocus speed slows down, or maybe no changes at all?
Also, why is there no HDR mode? Is the night mode essentially means HDR mode?
Thank you in advance.
Laser autofocus helps a lot with focusing and keeping the focus on moving objects
The HDR mode is actually VIVID/SMOOTH in the tiny box i think

Hi, sorry for the (very) late reply.
Ah okay, I thought so too (that covering the lasers would hinder in AF ability), so I went with a glass cover instead for the cameras.
Thank you very much.

Also in Camcorder too, it just keeps focusing in and out, it messes up the whole vid.
It looks almost like it doesn't take long enough to focus properly most of the time... Can you adjust the focus area or how long it takes to focus?
Its because the hd2 doesnt have the camera button that when you press half way it focuses.
On a similar note I have found photo quality with the WP7 camera to be absolutely appalling compared to the photo quality when I was using Android in similar conditions. Anyone else notice this?
actually i think it sucks, it used to be awesome when i had android on mine, but these are dreadfull.
thsi was taken in dark room, i think it still sucks, it owuld have of been better on android

I must agree that the pictures are not good, in fact i must say that are really bad.
Is there any way to set up the picture quality MPixels, or something?
I just recently saw this black dot when I take pictures. It moves only when I zoom in and out. I've wiped the lens areas and it doesn't go away. The dot isn't there when in video mode. What might be the problem? It's annoying to see in all my pictures.

Something between the lense and the sensor.
Zooming doesn't really move it because it is off center. I'm fairly certain zoom is completely digital and no parts are moving. Essentially your picture frame is shrinking smaller around the same central view.
Video size would be smaller than the entire sensor, so essentially the same dirt speck is out of the video frame. Identical to zooming into the picture.
Not sure if the sensor <-> lense assemply is sealed or not. Should be but maybe not.
You could try puffs of dry air, but be absolutely sure it is dry. Never use your mouth.
Alternatively you can try to shake the dirt out of the frame, but the dirt is probably too small to have any real weight.
If the lense assembly is sealed, warranty may be the only option.
Hope this makes sense.
Not

dream5hift, did you get the problem resolved? I have a similar problem on the Sprint GSII. My dot looks very similar (though it remains even in video mode since it's closer to the center of the frame).
I figure it's sensor dust or something similar under the lens. Sending mine in to Samsung under warranty.
Thanks
Hey, I've been getting this problem for a while now.
Decided it was time to do something about it. In advance: sorry about the legs.

Notice the very obvious weird rainbow lines.
Pretty sure it only happens in my room. It may be my fluorescent lightning.. It may be a lot of things.
I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this ever.

ive xperianced around fluorecent lighting and high temp during/after 4k recording
i think most cameras have the fluorecent lighting thing, its evident when you point toward old lamp tvs with cameras

Ah ok then, fair enough.
Had a feeling it was something like that, from memory Fluorescent lighting strobes or flickers at a very low speed compared to regular light bulbs. While great for saving power (they run 16 hours a day) it clearly sucks heavily for cameras.
Anyway, thanks for confirming that for me.
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but the quality looks not so good? please help

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

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
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.
