HDR Modes - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the difference between the two HDR modes in the camera? One is auto HDR, one is just HDR...

I presume its just like the flash and auto flash, when u choose HDR it forces the shot to be taken with HDR while auto HDR would only be applied if needed.

No Camera Zoom

I am not sure if the camera is suppose to zoom, but when i am in camera mode with the camera setting I cant zoom in or out. It stays at 1.0x. when i click on the up or down arrow it just beeps.
when in another camera mode i can zoom.
anybody have this problem?
mine zoomed the first time i tried, but not it just beeps like yours.
It uses a digital zoom, so make sure your resolution is not set to 2MP or you will not be able to zoom. Anything under should be fine
yeah that did the trick...lowering the resolution.
Just so you know, lowering the resolution and zooming doesn't gain you anything over using 2MP mode. Digital zoom is basically just cropping, so when you're on a lower res, it lets you zoom to the 2MP level, and just crops it.

Working Google Camera for Snapdragon Note9 only!!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/gcam-port-galaxy-s9-s9-t3763849. Instead of creating a new list of information, I'll just reference the link to my gcam port for the S9+ since the Note9 plus is pretty much the exact phone with a bigger screen.
See here for proof it works: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77463019&postcount=578.
Please read OP before asking all questions. This would not be possible if it wasn't for the great Savitar(@defcomg) and Fahmi(@fahmi182).
Did you try it? It didn't work for me, just freezes.. Also, no portrait working, that's the only feature I use in GCAM.
Please we need an exynos versiyon too
Installed on my Verizon Note 9. Works.
i got download the working version for Exynos version by using S9+ gcam~it works almost fully except front facing portrait. All HDR+ is working on rear but not front. AR Stickers is working also.
Why would you use it? Is it better?
Immediately presents "camera has stopped" and force closes on my t-mobile snapdragon note 9.
Portrait mode freezes and if any options are changed "disconnected from camera" error

Interesting... why would it wrk for some and not others
Portrait mode lags big time. Frame skip 3-5 second as soon as you move a tiny bit. Everything else seems to work. Lots of noise though. Any screenshot of the working settings so we can test and see if it's a setting conflict?

What about Exynos version?

Portrait mode is broken for ALL gcam mods! Noise is really normal if in low low light.. Set auto-correct exposure to times 8 or min iso but that requires a lot patience of being still so I suggest use a tripod.
Hey all.
Downloaded this from the above mentioned link.
Was a bit wonky with some controls, but worked for the most part.
Eventually uninstalled because it's just not worth messing with yet.
Check the attached pic for gcam (bottom) and note 9 stock cam (top).
All standard auto settings, just pointed and shot.
Meh to the gcam.
I like it
Here's some more tips I found online:
BUGS:
If you use Adaptive Display screen mode, then your pictures will appear messed up in the Gcam mod's gallery. In that case view them in the stock gallery app or something like Simple Gallery.
The front portrait mode viewfinder appears to refresh at about 0.5 frames per second, but despite the visual choppiness it absolutely does produce a portrait mode result as expected.
Here are the settings I adjusted to get functioning rear and front HDR+ On (or off), HDR+ Enhanced, and face retouching, and front cam Portrait mode:
Disable camera sounds
BSG Mod > Model > Pixel II
BSG Mod > enable Pixels auto-HDR+
Settings > Advanced > enable HDR+ control
BSG Mod > Final jpg quality HDR+ set to 100%
BSG Mod > enable Portrait mode on all models
Bonus settings that I tried that don't break things:
BSG Mod > Zoom in Portrait Mode Front camera set to 1.0(without zoom)
BSG Mod > Increase the detail of the HDR+ in the front..
BSG Mod > Minimal HDR+ smoothing (causes grainy pictures in low light, haven't checked with good lighting)
Got Portrait mode to work using your settings above phillydon04, thanks. And Portrait pix are considerably better than live focus on my Note 9.
But back camera still has a major lag taking pictures (takes like 3 or 4 seconds to take a picture and have the circle indicator go all the way around. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next update
I used this on my T-MOBILE N9 and it consistently freezes on the FFC. Removed and will use the regular camera and Camera FV-5.
Now the GCam port for the N8 works flawlessly. I use it on my 8 without one problem....well, sometimes my pics are upside down, but who cares...it works!

This worked for me, it took a couple tries though. The first couple attempts to install the app produced a black screen when trying to take a picture, video worked fine however. I had to keep force closing and deleting app data until I got the camera to work. When disabling camera sounds it sometimes went back to the black screen. The BSG mods also sometimes produced the black screen. After around a dozen attempts everything works perfectly.
Great
Working great for me!

Portrait Resolution?

When using portrait mode (not the full body) images come out at 4000x3000 even though it's using the telephoto lens (i confirmed by putting something in front of it to block it)
How is this possible if the resolution of the sensor is only 3264x2448?
Portrait mode doesn't actually use the telephoto lens. You'll need to manually switch to it in Pro mode to use it. (or just use gcam)
When in portrait mode when in viewfinder i cover the telephoto lens and it blocks the viewfinder so how is it not using the telephoto lens?
And how do i use portrait mode in pro mode that doesn't make sense?
And i just took a portrait picture while covering the main lens and it still worked so it's definitely not using the main lens for portrait (in daylight at least)

Quick Tip- Take 108MP photos with native lens options

You can use the native lens options -Ultra Wide - Normal - 5x with 108MP. Just switch to 4:3 (Non 108) select the focal length (must be a non digital zoom) then select 4:3 108MP. You cannot switch between lenses while in 108MP mode.
Just though I'd throw that out there I have heard ppl saying it crops when changing to 108MP. But I think it is just selecting a native lens.

Not ultrawide

Camera focus issue only on standard wide camera

Hi all,
I don't use the camera on my phone a lot but I just discovered that the standard wide camera can't focus anymore (it's all blurry, as shown in the first attached screenshot).
If I switch to the wide angle or zoom camera (the other 2 screenshots), no problem.
If I enable super macro mode on the standard wide camera, the problem disappear.
I tried to clear cache on the camera app but it didn't change anything.
I tried another app (gcam) and the problem is the same.
I checked that there was nothing on the lenses (dust...) or captors (lasers for the auto focus).
Do you guys have any new idea to help me ?
Thanks !!
