Very pretty even before editing! These were taken in an area with fairly minimal light pollution, I'm guessing?
Can't wait for my device to arrive so I can try this out!

Hand held is not possible for these, It takes around 3 to 4 minutes (depending upon the light conditions I guess) to capture the image and idk how god many frames are captured for such small details (And just for reference - with bare eyes I could not see more than 10 stars in first image) So even little shake will distort the image details
However tripod is not mandatory, you can easily find something to rest your phone on and just click the shutter with timer and it'll do it's thing But yes tripods are perfect for better and more sky immersive shots ..
Mine from Sardinia (Italy)
I managed to capture this with Mi Camera app, with night mode. Was pleasantly surprised.

This might sound like a noob question, but does installing the gcam disable/ crash the native camera?
Gcam worked great, but couldn't open the mi camera to compare.

Which place is this ? And is it Modded GCam ?
Very good to our phone, IMHO this cam is the weak point in RN3 pro... but with software help is good .
Hi all,
Will be any chance to port the GCam from Pixel 3 for Poco F1?
Many thanks
Well we will get one but need time for xda wizards to do their magic
Pixel 3 Camera port might fix the low light photo problems etc with that ai night sight. The features are all software based and so they should work on the port might as well due to similar hardware except forthe custom Visual Core chip. Definitely looking forward to test modes like TOP SHOT, PHOTOBOOTH , NIGHT SIGHT, SUPER RES ZOOM on the port

It will always be 5mp since there is pixel binning of 5mp x 4 = 20mp

Set the minimum shutter speed to 1/20 or faster.
If you're disappointed with the front cam, complain to Xiaomi, not the people here.

Really disappointed? I'm not sure if your saying that just because it says 5MP in the camera or your actual front camera performs bad but GCam takes very good Front camera photos on my Poco F1.

If you are disappointed, then use MIUI Stock camera. Nobody is forcing you to use Gcam mod.
If you want shutter speed, then set your exposure to 1/16 at night.
Here is the test version of pixel 3 camera. Only for test.

First stop *****ing. The developer who mods owes you nothing. If you find something not working, report it as an issue and submit the logs. Stop whining like a kid.

Hi,
A very special thanks to B-S-G for making pixel 3 camera port for Poco F1 and
Also Sreekant(XDA senior Member) for letting us know and for links.
Google camera 6.1 is just a beast
When I took some night/low light shots from both gcam6.1 and Poco F1's stock camera I really shocked how good the night mode is.
And I'm also a small growing YouTuber so pls Checkout my channel,that would be too helpful and I really do appreciate it.

Yep. Front camera is where you can notice how bad Stock camera struggles with light exposure. Whereas there's no problem on Gcam.
Please check attached photos, clearly MI 6 wins, even without Gcam. Stock camera HDR on Poco is useless unfortunately

You've probably not configured it probably
Excuse me? I haven’t configured it proberly?
Are you kiddin me ? Sorry I expected to use a camera app as it comes for the device... my fault. You`re right Next time i’m Gonna configure it correct before using it. Didn’t expect it was windows what we were talking about.
I’m fine if you tell me this app needs a pie rom for best usage and indeed i only tried it on Miui 10 beta so far - but on miui10 it sucks. As i installed in in more than one version.
Edit:
I don`t want to miscredit the developer of the app in general. I really appriciate his work here. I would love to use it really - but cant in daily usage. thats all i wanted to say.

How to enable mirror image on gcam?
In settings the front camera says 5 megapixels and can't be changed higher than that. Are the photos in 5 megapixels or is it just a visual bug.

I am using this one as well and i have tested others and they certainly work but I'm going to assume it's a known thing that it only gets 4K 30 frames per second and doesn't have the 960fps slow-motion either. I didn't double-check but it seemed to me that the front and rear camera resolutions were less than the specifications of the phone as well but I may be wrong.

As far as i understand it correct the front cam only has 6MP instead of 24MP with using the GCam app.

Got this from Reddit thread.
The camera on MIUI 12 has a pro mode. If you set the shutter speed (S) to max (32) and ISO to max (3200) , you can take decent picture of night sky. I think it's as better as Gcam if not more.
Hope it works.
What version of gcam you use? I'm using the parrot043 7.4-v3 works very well and gives awesome pics in astro

I used to use urynx Gcam on miui11, but now on miui12, the default camera works so good that I don't use Gcam anymore. I could be wrong but last I checked Gcam still had limitation of 12MP, because pixel phones have 12MP or something.
Yet still Gcam by Urnix makes better photos cause of Google AWB and due taking many shots while in astrophotography mode. And the stars are a bit more detailed I think

12MP is the raw image provided by the camera2Api,
48 image resolution using pixel binning by combining 2x2 (4) pixels.
I use gcam especially because it provides sharper selfies way better than stock

a little bit of photoshop express to remove the sunshine that turn the pic so much "blue" haha, sorry by my english... I know its bad
These lens don't have enough light gathering abilities due their small size.
Cooling the phone down to a cooler temperature will reduce the noise floor level of the cmos sensor though.
