Alright everybody,
I have had the mozart now for a few weeks and everything is outstanding on it, it's pretty far removed from WM6.5.
The only problem i'm having is the camera just seems to shoot a little blurry, I know some of the pics are me not quite keeping still, I was just wondering what settings it should be on for a good picture.
Thanks
Graham
Hi,
I've not changed any of settings and am getting pretty good results (when I remember to wait for the 2nd flash that is!).
Will have a play about with the settings over the weekend and post if I find anything interesting.
I'm currently thinking about getting a 7 Mozart myself and was wondering how the camera performs.
Could you please take some pictures and post them here?
Thank you very much in advance.

I'd say that's a superb quality for a mobile camera
Could you please post some pictures (preferably in bad lighting condition too) of the camera, too?
Thank you for your work
Here is the review with pics and everything:

How does the Mozart camera compare to the Omnia 7? I am considering either this for the camera or the Omnia for the S-Amoled.
I'm experience the blurred image as well and I did not change the setting either.
Just wonder how to take close ups with this camera e.g. when i take photos of a book the words are not readable, blurred???
EDIT: Wrong thread !
Anyway, I'm having the same issue with "blurry" pictures. Even my N900's 5Mpix camera is performing better... *Sigh*

This might sound a bit odd, but u know the button on the side to press to actually take the pic? .. Hold it in for about 5/6 secs and it seems to zoom in and crisp the focus ... then click to take a pic.

Have you tried Macro mode? Works well for me.
I've not had any problems with blurry pictures.....unless I move after focus has locked. Unfortunately there's no Microsoft update coming for me being bad at keeping still!
Ok, we need to press the camera button for a while until it adjusts the focus, then close ups can be taken and once focus is locked then there is no blurr and images are just excellent. thank dov74.
any thing i'm missing in settings about macro mode? not sure where it is.

No Problem.
Macro mode is under camera/settings/scenes then it's the last option. I've not taken any proper photos with it but I've messed about with it and have gotten good results.
From memory, another member on here uploaded a picture taken in Macro mode - will have a look and see if I can find.

Hi all so i updated my phone to 2.3.4 through here KH3 firmware, and now if i use the camera it looks more like a vga camera than an 8megapixel (yes i have checked the settings its on 8) very grainy and unclear and worst of all when a photo is taken it lags then there is a black shutter and when u look at the pic after its very dark even in daylight or with flash whats going on. can someone please help me. Has this happened to anyone else?
thanks
Amy

here is a pic its really bad what can i do
try to use flash
i did use flash.
i just took another pic with flash and its just the same
When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the Xiaomi Mi A2's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Love the software. It's very well optimized on this phone, running Android One 8.1 out of the box. It's promised to receive Android Pie soon. My only complaint is that you can't move the Google search bar (at least I haven't figured it out yet).

I have the Mi A1 and removed the Google search bar with Microsoft launcher.
There are photo, video, portrait mode, panorama and also manual.
Manual have the options for you to change white balance, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and also two of the lenses (regular and low light).
Interestingly, in aperture mode there is a "PEAK" options which show you the peak point in picture. (I don't know how to explain it but try it for yourself!)
There are timer (3s and 5s only), tilt-shift (circle and parallel), straighten (which help straighten the image), group selfie (take multiple photos and create a shoot where everyone looks best, it claims), HHT and beautify (which have 1-5 and advanced options that can make you slender, have big eyes, tone and smooth your skin).
In settings, you can save your location, enable pocket mode, adjust anti banding, auto exposure, contrast, saturation and sharpness.
So it's quite cool in all.
Since i have installed the September update i have got a Software Bug. Everytime I am using by default the HDR mode of the stock camera, my foto is just a green square! But onyl in dark conditions - maybe the app wants since the september update to change the camera lense... and it does not work probably.
does anybody else has the same problem?

yup! i experienced this twice in a row when i was taking a picture. not sure what the issue is.
I have found the software to be very smooth and fluid; the September update on a fresh reset seemed to have also removed some of the bundled MI apps but then actually allows you to pick and choose which ones to install (such as the MI remote for IR blasting). An awesome feature to have this come from xiaomi instead of the xda community via rooting and other uninstallers etc. Camera and google maps also load very fast, which helps a lot.
Hopefully.
Tested on: RR ROM (not GSI) from https://build.lolios.ml/sirius/
GCam version: Arnova's Advanced 1.5 Download
Config xml file: see attachments Alternative Download
Disclaimer
If you're not using my same setup I can't guarantee the same results, though I think this should apply, for the most part, no matter the ROM you're using. If you're using a GSI I think it should work the same as long as you have flashed the gcam fix zip (or Magisk module).
Introduction
I chose Arnova's mod because it's the most customizable out there. To get it working straight out of the box:
Install GCam
Create directory /sdcard/GCam/Configs if it doesn't exist
Move xml config file to the directory
Long press on the GCam icon and select "Take a video"
Double-tap on empty space below shutter
Choose the xml file from the menu and click restore
Step 4 is necessary because trying to lauch with the defaults options results in a crash, but not in video mode. We're using this as workaround to import the settings in order to fix the crash and configure the camera.
I'll now describe every setting that I chose to edit so that you can understand why I set it up the way it is. Most of these settings are based on personal preference so feel free to experiment for yourself.
Settings
Mod settings - Advanced - FIX - RAW10 in front
Enabled.
Fixes the camera crash on app launch.
Mod settings - Advanced - FIX - Buffer Fix
Enabled.
Fixes viewfinder lag. Doesn't fix it for Night Sight. Also, I remember this wasn't needed when using GSI + gcam fix zip so if you're using a GSI maybe try disabling this and see how it goes.
Autoexposure correction
1/10 sec.
This setting is very important. It controls the balance between noise and blurriness / time it takes to shoot a frame.
Basically, here's what this does. When you take a picture there are a few factors that influence how bright the picture will be. These factors are width of the objective, time the camera spends taking the picture (also known as shutter speed) and the sensor sensitivity (also known as ISO). Unlike regular cameras, the width of the objective is fixed (I believe) so on our phone we're limited to ISO and shutter speed. The longer the shutter speed, the more time the sensor is exposed to light, the brighter the picture. If you're not steady though, longer shutter speeds will result in blurry photos. Increasing ISO, on the other hand, will allow you to keep shutter speed low and have sharp images, but will significantly increase the amount of noise in the picture.
What this setting does is set a limit to how high the shutter speed can get before it will resort to increasing ISO if it needs to. The default settings of Off gave pretty bad results for me - picking 1/50 and 2000+ ISO where 1/10 and 300 ISO did perfectly fine - though feel free to experiment for yourself. Keep in mind the actual time to take the pic will be at most this setting times the HDR+ parameters setting. So if you have the default setting of 9 for HDR+ and 1/10 like I do it will take at most 0.9s to take a picture.
Correction NightSight
1 sec.
Same as Autoexposure Correction but for Night Sight mode. I set this to a very long time but it's totally personal preference so feel free to tweak this. As you may have guessed, I really dislike noisy pictures...
Pixel 3 AWB
Enabled.
See the GCam ports site relative FAQ.
I found it produces warmer colors. It also seems to only work if you use Pixel 3 or Pixel 3XL as models. Feel free to change.
Mod settings - Advanced - Base - Model
Pixel 3 for both cameras.
Tested other models and didn't find any difference except Pixel 3 AWB stopped working except for Pixel 3XL.
Mod settings - Advanced - Noise reduction
Everything disabled.
Trying enabling them but they didn't really seem to work so I left them off.
Mod settings - Advanced - FIX - Using Sabre
Auto.
Sabre FAQ. I left Auto because I have no clue what that's supposed to mean. Tried both On and Off and they worked but I couldn't spot a difference. It supposedly makes pictures better though, so set to On if you'd like.
Mod settings - Advanced - Libs
Stock by Google.
I just left the default because I tried the other ones and found no difference. Try them for yourself if you feel like it.
Mod settings - Advanced - Enable Auto exposure
Disabled.
This is weird one, most of the times it crashed the app right after shooting (didn't store the pics), other times it worked but I saw no difference. Don't think we're missing out on anything.
Photo - Advanced - "Motion" function
Disabled.
Enabling crashes the app, it might work with different models settings / configs (in Mod settings - Advanced - Base) but I didn't bother because I don't really care for it. If you somehow get it to work, please report back. Thanks!
Photo - Advanced - Optical Stabilization (OIS)
Disabled.
MI 8 SE doesn't have OIS. Not much to say.
Video - Advanced - Init SlowMo with
120 FPS.
Setting this to 120 FPS instead of the default 240 FPS allows to use both 1/4 and 1/8 speed for slow motion.
By the way, I believe that while most of this guide should also apply to GSIs, iirc slow-mo is broken on GSI and there's not much you can do about it. Sorry.
I hope to have cleared up the confusion about GCam, I surely was very confused when I first started looking into it and was quite overblown with all the settings.
Let me know if you know about anything that could be added to the guide.
Thank you!

True, it's a limitation of the default MIUI launcher. You can install a third party launcher temporarily and use that. To my knowledge there's no other way around it, unfortunately.
Thanks for this thread. There is something wrong about xml file. I am not able to download it via three different browsers. Could you please upload it anywhere else?

Glad to hear that! The reduced noise is just the result of the shutter speed setting, I'm still very doubtful about setting 1/10 as limit, sometimes I feel like it's way too long... Especially because it seems like once you've set it it becomes super aggressive in picking it instead of a more sensible combination like 300 ISO - 1/50 shutter speed.

Better quality photos are more important than waiting(shutter speed) in my opinion. Colors are sharp and contrast is higher than standart gcam. These settings give really good results. Sharp and clean photos :good:
The app crashes every time I take photos with hdr+ off. And in BSG v2e the shutter speed of hdr+ is so much faster than hdr+ enhanced which is useful if I want to take photos in crowded places

True, thanks for the report. I'll try and see if I can find a workaround. Shutter speed gets faster if you set Autoexposure correction to off, but ISO gets a lot higher as a result and produces very noisy pics.

And also, I hope we can use the 20MP front camera. The 5MP limit looks pretty bad.

That looks like it's a ROM issue since even the stock camera app shoots at 5MP

Download the firmware using xperifirm, then use newflasher to flash it.
Or just wait for your region to get the latest version.

Lmao they tweaked sound vol higher, now my ear speaker is cracking while playing music ?
1. Is there 21:9 ratio for pictures?
2. Is there a fix for 4k video stabilization?
3. Is there 4k 60fps mode?
4. How is battery life?
5. Can we add more home pages to the left and select main screen(home)?
6. Did wifi connection improve?
7. Is the vivid mode for screen back?
8. Is the performance mode for STAMINA back?
9. Is disturbing sound when listening to music via bluetooth headset gone? I mean there is one since it is changing quality or caused by "headphones" app.
10. Are there more color options for main theme / wallpaper?

Can't really comment on the picture quality as I've had mixed results since day 1. It's usually hit an miss.... But the slow album and loading of captured images is till here. The delay between switching lenses is still there. I guess we need to wait for the next firmware update....

Slow album loading? Never had that issue for me. If your pictures are saved to the microsd card, make sure your microsd card isn't slow.
Finally Got the Update in Netherlands
I finally got the update this morning (Region R9A). My impression is the overall performance has definitely increased, it mush much more responsive. Fingerprint gets it right every single attempt, before this i kinda had given up on the FPR, and was using the pin every time.
After taking a picture it does process a tad bit faster and album do load ever so slightly faster.
Other than this i haven't really noticed any difference in camera quality or any new added feature. Maybe once they launch in US, more features maybe added (Finger crossed), also with the added number of users across the pond, we may finally have some developer who would be able to port GCAM to this phone.
