Camera zoomed by default in video mode - Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Questions & Answers

Hi. My camera in video mode works in zoom by default, in photo mode everything goes well. This issue appears in stock rom and in xiaomi.eu rom on all camera apps (footej camera's zoom is the shortest one as far as i know). Had anyone the same problem ? No clue what's happening ... :crying::crying::crying:

I think everybody has this problem , i don't really know if it can be normal . Had this thing since i bought the phone .

Do you think that flashing different camera app could help ?

I've tried Open Camera and Footej Camera on the latest Global Beta rom and it shows zoomed in into the preview but when you press the record button it shows and records absolutely normal. Try with another camera and see if it's the same... I don't know what to say..

I think there is some EIS. That's why it is zoomed in. Using another camera will be the solution to your problem.

[Q] Video Recording with Flash 'On'

Anyone who is able to record videos with flash on in dark, using the stock camera app ?? anyone ?? I tried many time, with flash on, but it simply turns off the flash after focusing. Any knowledgeable insight or help will be appreciated !
I think it's a bug relating to our camera app... Try to clear cache & data of camera app... Or u can use any other app (like camera 360) in which u can make videos with light on.
Just switch off auto flash light. When open camera you can see four buttons. Click on 2nd button to change auto flash.
No bro... it got nothing with auto flash setting... it's a bug in the camera app (no matter wht setting u put, the video camera just turns off the light after a few second when video recording starts)
i don't have any problem like that. My stock camera is working fine in recording videos with auto flash..... u can use google camera app for this bcoz i had problem with photo capturing and google camera app solved it.

I checked the video camera again. When I start video camera with Auto Flash on the flash light turns off after few seconds and with Auto Flash off flash light lights continuously till video camera stopped. I don't know whether it is a defect? I have installed Lenovo camera but this option is not available in video camera.

nexus4 camera with flash takes black picture.

Stock latest lollipop camera works fine, after camera update takes black picture with flash. Uninstalling update fixed the issue.
Cm12.1 same issue with ROM default camera.
Chroma same issue with default camera.
EDIT: found using latest camera on kitkat is flawless. only when on lollipop and latest camera this issue occurs.
Uninstall google camera...use camera360 instead

dont need these stupid filter camera's. plus it doesn't have video mode.
what i want is a simple no blabla camera that do picture and video, or a fix to this flash issue that takes black picture.
iv got an older google camera and it works fine, but it auto updates so i disabled auto update for now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
Use this. It supports video recording too.
Camera360 is also great.
here what i found according to my need that is..
1 old version of Google camera
2 open camera (ui is not great specially settings)
3 better camera (paid but worth it)
Google camera and better camera takes same quality pictures, video is better on better camera on low light condition.
i was facing same issue , but i found a solution . you have to press anywhere on the screen first , 2nd time you press on capture button . it works for me
no that just add inconvenience, i found using older version of google camera is far better, just have to see i don't update it by mistake.

(Guide) Camera flash fix \weird green photo fix nougat (UPDATED HAL2 TOO)

HI,
i'm on the lastest Nitrogen Os rom. The rom is fantastic, despite the camera that act weird and it's too much instable (i have those problem on all Nougat Roms).
I found a Workaround to fix flash and camera derps (green\black photos).
Camera hal2 derps:
Derp1
Derp2
Roms with stablest camera i've tested: NitrogenOs, Dirty Unicors, Caf Aosp, CitrusCaf.
First, download (or buy) Snap Camera HDR Trial from playstore. Than go to:
-settings
-other
-scroll down to use camera2 API, tap and select force hal1 (if you can't, download a previous Snap Camera version, like 8.2.6)
-reboot
-done
UPDATE:
SNAPCAMERA HAL2 by @Shaky156 (Tested on Dirty Unicorns 7.1 by @poad42, if you try to other roms feel free to say if it works or not).
Use this camera if you want to avoid camera hal1. To avoid Camera switch crash, wait until focus finish. Expect more app crashes.

FOR VIDEOS:
-FOOTEJ CAMERA
FLASH FIX
FLASH FIX UPDATED
(tx to @hichaam, @Umang96)
This will fix camera in Nougat Roms?
-No\Yes. Only updated camera blobs can hard fix. But camera is STABLE now with hal1.
So why i should do that?
-If you make photos, this fix green screen and flash problems. But kills video in snap camera.
-For my phone, this is a STABLE way to make photos, as i like to shot pics with it.
Also expect some crash when opening to much camera apps. <--- fixed in last NitrogenOS
This is a workaround, we can't do nothing until xiaomi relases Android 7.0, or some other brand with sk5p3 camera sensor ( Ulefone Future, Samsung C series, Vernee Apollo Lite) do.
PS a copy of my post in other trhead:
CAMERA FLASH\RANDOM REBOOTS FIX:
-INSTALL NITROGEN OS (MAYBE WORK IN OTHER ROMS, BUT I VE TRIED IT ON NITROGEN, SO..)
-DOWNLOAD SNAP CAMERA HDR
-ENABLE IN SETTINGS FORCE HAL1
-REBOOT APP
-ENJOY YOUR FULLY FUNCTONIG CAMERA
FOR VIDEO:
-DOWNLOAD FOOTEJ CAMERA
-MAKE VIDEO
-- don't make videos with snapcamera because won't work.
Its important for you (until you answer to me: camera is working dude, even with api2.0 blablalba) that api2.0 are INSTABLE. They work for limited times, and 80% of times you get no flash, no manual ISO, reboots etc. Camera HAL1 will make our camera STABLE again, with flash synced in EVERY photos you makes. Only Videos won't work with HAL1 in Snap Camera HDR.
Also in snap camera you will find some interesting goodies for our crappy cameraphone. Its important that you will enable:
-ZERO STUTTER LAG (your device will capture the image at over9000 speedo)
-LENS SHADING (it gives better image quality in borders)
-MEMORY COLOR ENCHANE (better colors)
-DENOISE (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
-Sharpness -2 (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
So yes.. try it, for me its working for 2 weeks now.

Try to make multiple photos with flash. You will notice that camera can't sync it, or it will not start at all. Even with Footej camera i have Weird green screen, like many others.
I just tried in the dark room with flash on and auto focus on with footej and did about 20 shots, always worked...guess im lucky...but on all other ROMs it did not work or recording failed...

Flash in N roms works 70% of times first time u open camera (even less sometimes). It's a common problem of all roms because camera sources. This is the method to assure 100% working flash\camera with all tryng. Its normal that if you take 2 photos here and there, you will notice nothing. I take 40-50 photos a week with this phone (even more), so i need stable camera. And i can assure you that this is the only method that works until now with nougat.

Google HDR+ vs Stock Camera

Hi guys,
So I have Google camera installed and works smooth while taking pictures compare to the stock camera.
But I have a question here in the comparison of both.
Attached is the comparison collage for same shot on stock camera and Google camera. In the Google camera, for the sky, it creates the color using dots which are clearly visible when I zoom in. And it is something which is bothering me.
Can anyone here tell me, if I am using some wrong settings or it is there in every setting?
I have the dots also, didn't find what's causing them, but version 5.0.009 gives me much less dots, so try to find that version and see if it helps.

same problem here, did you find a solution?
I have tried several different Gcam versions, types and configurations and all of them had this behavior with HDR engine activated. Gcam might need additional fix for our phone :-\
here is my comparison video

Nope, still the same problem. It's extremely easy to replicate, just take HDR photo of Kinder surprise yellow egg (or anything similar). It will show dotted pattern no matter what. The same pattern is visible on light uniform color (sky, wall,..).
_mysiak_: i try it now and i have same problem :/ ...but i must zoom in this photo, otherwise I can not see dots
Photo - yellow wall

I see it too. I switched back to MGC_5.1.018_7.0+c2API_Min_2a_AllInOne (December 12) and it does'nt appear to have this problem. I was on 3a and it had this problem. I'm using the Pixel setting (Marlin + Taimen) as device, with Pixel auto HDR+ and ZSL enabled.

Just tried it and even this version failed my yellow test, pattern still visible.
Edit: 5.1.018 versions crash on my phone here and there, so I'm back to "stable" MGC_5.1.014_7.0H_C2API_v.1.5g_AllinOne

Try these settings and app version from a photographer using our phone.
Just tried the photographer config and I can still see the dotted pattern.
My hope is that Xiaomi can upgrade the camera with android O update next week (and add image stabilization)

You are right, pattern is not visible, but also output of HDR+ isn't so good :\ I would even say that's it's pretty much on the same level as stock camera app.
I have tried almost all versions and settings combinations and it seems that we either have amazing HDR mode with strange pattern or HDR with low details and no mysterious pattern.
Try 3.5 BSG version. I've tried the AllinOne_Full_Manual 3.5 version and it doesn't appear to have the blocks. Using the same test subject, and I noticed that all versions from current all the way back to 1.2 have this flaw. I am working my way up on the versions, got to 3.7 and 4.0 but I can't get HDR to actually process.
