Hi,
I'm looking for apps or other modes that can use the multiple camera's on the S10 Exynos at the same time.
Previously my S7 could take a photo with the back and front camera at the same time, this option has disappeared apparantly. It was called Dual Camera mode
Also missing :
- Video collage (4 videos , shot in sequence, as 1 videogrid)
- Virtual shot
- Surround shot
thanks for any feedback

Hi,
I try to access the front camera of this phone.
From the debug information, I get that "preview-frame-rates" of the front camera is only 15.
Therefore, when I record a video with this front camera, the maximum fps I can achieve is 15.
However, when I use the default Camera app from the phone and try to record a video from the front camera, I can get around 25 fps. Not sure how this app can do this. Any comments are welcome.
Another interesting thing is: by using the Camera app from the phone, there are two modes with front camera, one for video saving and one for image saving.
It is very obvious that the live preview in video saving mode is much faster (around 25fps) than the live preview in image saving mode (around 15fps judged by eyes), but it is also darker. I guess they use different settings for exposure control for these two.
Is there anyway we can get achieve a higher preview-frame-rate of the front camera ideally through android sdk???
Any insights are welcome.
Thanks.
George
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???
Hi,
is there an app, where I can record with both cameras at the same time? Full screen with the front camera and a small picture inside that full screen image with the selfie cam.
I found an app, which can do that, but both pictures have the same size, which is not that really useful.
This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cornopolitan.dualvideo
If this app can do full screen the front cam and small selfie cam, that would be perfect, but this setting is not available.
Or maybe there is an other app, doing this dual cam with YouTube live?
Thanks
Alex
Edit: Well, I figure out, the phone can do that almost by default.
Check out this video, how to activate it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyvGO7DsXxo
1/ Download Manual Cam:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lensesdev.manual.camera.pro
+ Supports all 3 rear cameras
- Paid
OR
Download Open Camera:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
+ Free
- Supports just main rear lens
2/ Open app. Switch to front facing camera, in options change resolution to 1836p (16:9)
3/ Optionally you can also increase video bit rate in options.
4/ Optionally for better (less noisy) low light video you can manually set shutter speed to 1/24th of second for example and reduce video frame rate to 24fps. You have to manually set ISO to get correct exposure. Auto exposure does not work in manual mode.
Note: Stabilization does not seem to work in this mode = less crop but more hand shake
Manual camera.....How switch between 3 camera?....
Very top left icon in viewfinder. Small camera icon with number inside it, by clicking on it you can cycle thru cameras.

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.
