Watercolor photos. Auto mode camera issue. When the camera soft is upgraded?

Somebody from forum and I noticed a very strange feature in the stock camera on the Oneplus 5. I don't know whether it was done specifically or not, but the quality of photos in auto mode and in Pro mode is very different. And I'm talking about Pro mode, but without additional manual settings. Let's call this mode Pro-auto. The thing is, if you take a photo in auto mode the detailing of distant objects (especially trees, grass) is violated and the picture becomes horrible, the picture looks like a watercolor painting. This is clearly seen with croping. But if you take the same photo in Pro mode with automatic settings, you will not see the watercolor. The picture becomes more qualitative and detailed. Interestingly, the exposure time and ISO in auto and Pro-auto modes can be the same, but the result will be different. Probably algorithms for processing photos in the auto and Pro modes are not the same. Auto mode uses strong noise reduction more than necessary, because of this we see a watercolor effect. For comparison, I present a few photos in auto (without HQ and HDR) and Pro-auto got by 1+5 and a photo in auto mode by 1+3 (without HQ and HDR).

Example #1. It is the miniature of the picture in auto.

Looking pretty good, but if we crop and compare with Pro-auto mode photo, we will see the difference.
Even OP3 has more details.
Next two photo examples were took by my colleagues from 4pda forum.
Example #2. Again it looks nice.
But if we crop and compare with RAW, which was got by Pro-auto mode, ... just look at this ...
Example #3. Indoor low light picture.
Let's crop again.
Even here we can see the difference between auto and Pro-auto modes algorithms.
It's just a few examples, but I assure you that all owners will have the same problem. The problem is the camera soft. My colleagues and I call you not to leave it. You could add your examples with auto and Pro-auto comparison. We all need to attract more attention to this problem, maybe OnePlus team will fix this awful watercolor effect in auto mode.
Let's share and spread this information!​

I tried it myself and I noticed that when the watercolour effect is present, the ISO of the photo is a lot higher. In the pro-auto mode, the ISO used is 800, while in auto mode for the same picture the ISO is 1600. I also notice that sometimes the watercolour effect may not take place in auto mode, in this case, the ISO as well as the picture quality will be the same as pro-auto mode.

In addition please find the topic on the official forum.
Also there is at least one support ticket 1269844 - but this one seems to be visible for 1+ support only...

Unfortunately not, the watercolor effect always appears in auto mode. It may not be noticeable when you look at the close and large objects on the picture, but this doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Have the same on my unit, tried cropping and looks like on the above examples. Camera is the weakest point on this phone I hope they will try to do this something with this software...

The camera is terrible. In auto mode, there is a very strong watercolor effect, there is no clarity. In the pro mode, the situation is slightly better, but the noise reduction works very hard, kills all the details. In addition, in the pro mode, the dynamic range is smaller.

I absolutely agree. The software is horrible for this camera. OnePlus used way too aggressive noise reduction, AND they use to high ISO values in Auto mode. And I didn't even mention the useless digital crap that their marketing calls "2x lossless zoom". Unfortunately, they don't seem to be interested in fixing the camera (a HAL change is required), and they officially stated they won't open access to the telephoto camera because it's quite crappy.
Oh, and by the way, their Camera 2 API implementation is buggy as hell. We have a mosquito artefact when shooting HDR+ with Google Camera or even using Snap Camera to capture RAW!

Curious how 4.5.10 compares to 4.5.8....They Noise Reductions improvements.

I haven't got the chance to take any daylight shots , but when i took some indoor shots , i indeed saw huge improvements in 4.5.10 , and the noise has gone down and details have gone up , i will post some example shots if u want.

There is no difference... Watercolor effect is still here.

Camera is still bad. Please oneplus can't you just see how detailed and sharp the oneplus 3t camera is?? How hard would it be to correct the post processing?

Working good, however, I've realized some delay when recording at 4K 60 fps. In the other hand, if I select 2x option, it runs smoothly. Thanks anyway!

OPPO Find X5 Pro Camera Tips and Tricks

The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with some very impressive cameras. While you will be able to capture amazing photos right out of the box, there are a few extra things that you can do to take full advantage of the photography and video features on this phone. In this thread I am going to share some of the best camera tips and tricks that I've learned from my time using this phone.
Camera specs:
Rear:
50MP Main Camera: f/1.7; FOV 80°; 1G6P lens
50MP Ultra-wide Angle Camera: f/2.2; FOV 112°; 7P lens
13MP Telephoto Camera: f/2.4; FOV 45°; 5P lens
Front:
32MP Front Camera: f/2.4; FOV 90°; lens: 5P

Shoot in MOVIE Mode​When searching through the different camera modes, you might come across MOVIE. This mode offers much more than just a different aspect ratio. This mode is designed with professional filming tools and camera controls. If you intend on editing your footage before posting it, this is a great camera mode for you.
On the right side of the preview window, you'll see the manual controls for iso, f-stop, zoom, focus, and white balance. These controls are super easy to navigate and do not interfere with getting your shot.
The left side has important features that will come into play in your post editing session. LOG will give your footage greater dynamic range, for better color grading in post. HDR gives your footage better contrast and enhanced colors. Try shooting with these toggled on so you can have more freedom in your editing environment.
Change Lenses in PRO Mode​With many phones, the PRO mode is limited to one lens, and at first glance you might think that this is also the case on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. However, you can toggle through all three of the rear camera lenses in PRO mode by selecting the tree icon in the top menu.
Choose between wide-angle/macro, standard, and telephoto. With each lens, you still retain the full set of pro controls, so you can get your shot looking exactly how you want it to. It's also worth noting that all of these lenses are compatible with RAW and RAW PLUS photography.
Enable 10-bit color Mode​10-bit photos can be captured in both PHOTO and NIGHT mode. You can enable this feature in the settings menu. Your 10-bit photos will retain more color data that can be viewed on compatible devices and apps that support it. These image files are saved in the .HEIF format, which is compatible with the default ColorOS photo editor. So if you are mostly editing and viewing your photos on your OPPO Find X5 Pro, then I highly recommend turning this feature on.
If you want to share your .HEIF photo in an app that is not supported (like Discord, Snapshot, Twitter etc.) Then you can easily convert the file in the photos app. Go to Photos > settings, then enable "Convert HEIF photos for sharing".
Manually Adjust f-stop in VIDEO Mode​Do you want to create that shallow depth of field look from big DSLR cameras? You can adjust the f-stop in VIDEO mode using the shutter icon. This will create dramatic looking videos with blurred backgrounds, similar to how portrait mode looks with photos. Just keep in mind that this limits your video resolution to 1080, disabling 4k shooting.
There are many other photography tips and tricks to explore on the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Leave a comment with your own suggestions on how users can get the most out of this amazing photography phone.

Anyway, the camera does not start (force close). Probably it is the fault of custom rom DerpFest. Or my system is missing some google crap component. Below is the log.
