How to lock F1.5 aperture in camera Auto Mode?

Hello everybody,
Does any one has any idea how to lock F1.5 in Auto Mode? I would like to have F1.5 & HDR for macro shots in perfect lighting conditions. I can force F1.5 in Pro Mode but this mode is lacking of High Dynami Range functionality. So the macro shots bokeh with F2.4 aperture looks inferior compared to my old Galaxy S7 not to mention my wifes S8. I wish there was a switch in camera settings to force F1.5... I hope there's a solution.
Thanks in advance!
No only Pro or you could try https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/gcam-port-galaxy-s9-s9-t3763849 which uses f1.5 as default
Is there any solution to this yet ? On the s10

Aperture vs portrait mode

I think like many, I've disabled all the beautification effects and lightning effects in portrait mode.
Wondering in that case if anyone is aware of a difference between both modes? I've kept using portrait but actually wondering if I should use aperture instead since it allows to change the point of focus and aperture strength effect afterwards which would be beneficial when portrait mode fails to blur some stuff or blurs too much stuff.
Just wondering what others have tried, thoughts, etc.
Aperture is more like a real DSLR. Portrait mode will try and keep faces in focus whilst also having bokeh.
Personally I prefer aperture mode. This allows you to edit after the fact and is better quality.
Maybe you can select different bokeh-types in portrait mode.
I don't get the soft effect.. tried the suggested on other thread.. disable all beauty effects and choose the darkest skin tone finally choose the the shapes (the star icon) of the lights on the background

NO MORE HDR effect on MIUI 10

Hey devs and users,
I have noticed that the HDR on MIUI 10 is no longer the quality it used to be on MIUI 9.
Yes it appeared to be washed out but the brightness got full and I could see the shadows with the oversaturation removed that appeared on non-HDR screens.
But I can no longer see the shadows in HDR videos on MIUI 10 neither does the brightness go max and the screen gets blue-ish and stays oversaturated.
So is this a bug or just me?
I loved the HDR on MIUI 9, the highs and lows of exposure were perfectly viewable, no longer on MIUI 10.

portrait cam Alternative

I just used the portrait mode of my friends pixel 3 xl and there is a great difference.
Are there any news on pixel cam for the huawei mate 20 pro? Or is there any alternative which does portrait better then the stock cam?

Camera on Huawei P30 Lite 48MP version

Hi,
I never used a smartphone with two or three camera before and my choice for a new smartphone was the P30 lite 48MP version.
I have some question about the camera.
First, I hate the portrait mode effect on the front camera. The seperation between the face and the background is not pleasant to my eyes. How do you actually disable this mode. Should I shoot in photo and also disable AI? The AI is also doing the same effect as the portrait mode. With other apps, there is no bokeh or blur effect.
Secondly, How does the first (Back) camera sensor works? I mean, I tried to put my finger in front of the camera and take several picture in different mode. Everytime, I get a picture without my finger. If you are shooting in normal condition, shouldn't it be using the main camera?
Thanks

Someone from Huawei Service replied to my question today and I quote
"Hi! Thank you for supporting Huawei Products, we understand your situation right now. We highly recommend for you to switch to photo mode and turn off the AI mode as you take your selfies to have no bokeh or blur effect on the background. On your second question, Please be informed that the first camera sensor is the 2MP Bokeh Lens. It is used to have an effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject. These are functioning as you use portrait mode and as you use the Pro Mode and adjust the manual focus for your subjects. Thank you and have a great day."
