What is your focus value on distant objects (more than 30 meters)? I have 0.9-0.92 and it looks like the camera module is misconfigured.

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.

Is there anyway to do this with our phone? I know there is a setting for it in the camera but it doesn't really create the blur effect of things in the background
Play with the camera because there are ways to make it focus on specific items and "ignore" the outside ones
Put a magnifying lens in front of the lens to permit closer focusing.
get a digital cam to take real photos, especially macro shots. What you are trying to do requires a more advanced camera (re: blurry background with focused foreground)

Good point there - Even with a magnifying lens to focus more closely, the tinysensor in the phone's camera is going to result in very deep depth of field. Usually this is good for macro shooting where DOF is often razor thin, unless you're going for that "background out of focus" effect.
Hey all; I have found the camera gets confused with focusing in some instances (IE; bug on glass pane) where "Close up" and "Auto" won't focus on the object at any distance at all.
Is there some app that can control camera focus normally?
Thanks!
I'd like to know something for this as well. Macro shots are terrible on this camera.
Just so everyone knows, we're not looking for something with a digital zoom(Since that takes away a lot of quality).
I've tried the stock camera, camera zoom fx, and camera FV-5(This one runs terribly for some reason). FV-5 has a manual focus mode, but it doesn't work very well and is kind of annoying to me.
I think the best chance you really have for getting any decent macroshots is to use a reverse lens or a proper macro lens.
Hello Everyone
How do you enable and or tell of OIS and EIS are enabled?
When I go into the settings for the stock camera app there is a toggle switch labeld "video stabilization" in the "common" section but it is set to off and grayed out. Note this is when using the rear camera. If I switch to the front camera this toggle switch is now no longer grayed out and is set to on.
Thank You
I think it depends on the resolution, try lowering resolution and see. The way EIS works, it needs extra pixels around visible frame, to shift whole recorded frame, so object stays in the same spot on frame even if the lens points differently due to shake. Either there is not enough extra pixels to compensate, or not enough CPU power to calculate the frame shift, not sure which, so not available in certain modes.
Solution
It would seem that one cannot have both video stabilization and tracking AF enabled. Once I turned off tracking AF the video stabilization toggle was no longer grayed out.
The Pixel 6 only gets 2x digital zoom with it's main sensor whereas the Pixel 6 Pro will zoom until 4x or even 8x digital zoom before switching to the telephoto sensor. Is there any way to bring more digital zoom to the regular 6?
The P6P zooms 0.67x to 20x on the side with 3 sensors, 0.85x to 10x on the screen side.
While I'm not running the google image (google free AOSP here), I recall the camera application had some buttons to quickly switch between resolutions. 0.7x to the wide lens (middle position), 1.0x and 2.0x to the main lens (side opposite flash), 4.0x to the telephoto lens.
I don't remember this exactly, but people are saying that the screen side camera has quick zoom buttons showing 0.7x and 1.0x, even though it is 0.85x per the HAL (on the P6P), therefore it looks like Google is mucking with the values being presented to the users. Probably because they think it looks better to have the wide ratio match and a whole number for the sensor switch.
In reality, it switches to the telephoto lens at 4.3x. BUT, it can ride the main sensor all the way to 20x if the proximity sensor reading is "near"-ish.
It picks the sensor based on a combination of proximity and zoom level, and maybe even other factors that are not yet apparent.
Anyway, the quick buttons shouldn't be thought of as the ONLY zoom levels that are reachable. As far as I understand it, even the P6 (non-P) should be able to get the high digital zoom levels. I'd suggest you try to use the pinch gesture to zoom out and see how far it lets you go.
