Camera & Camera2 API - missing features & bugs

[LibrePhoner]

With the camera patch of CalyxOS there are camera IDs 0 to 3 with Calyx itself, with iodéOS only 0 to 2. How does it look with LineageOS?

Can someone create a report for this with Camera2 API Probe and post it here?

It would be interesting to know if ID 3 is also missing there.

[LibrePhoner]

Thanks for the super fast report!!!
OK, so LOS has the camera IDs 0-3 just like Calyx. All entries in the report are the same. It is really strange that only iodé is missing the ID 3.

[Alice2530]

Hello, I’m Alice from Nîmes in France. I’m about to by my first smartphone! And it ll be a Fairphone of course! But I’m a bit worried about the camera because it’s important for me to be abble to make good pictures. So my question is : should I wait until some improvements concerning this point are made or do you think it works much better now than at the Beijing and I won’t regret my purchase? Sorry for my english, I m just french!

[loseyourself]

I’m not sure what you mean with “at the Beijing”, but IMO the camera is almost completely useless when it comes to taking pictures of things in motion. If everything is completely still, it’s fine.

[Razem]

Depends on what you mean. This topic is mainly about the camera API which is used by 3rd party camera apps. So if your main concern is using an alternative camera app such as GCam or Open Camera, then you should know that some features (e.g., ultra-wide camera, ToF sensor, full 48MP resolution) are still inaccessible.

If your concern is an overall picture quality, then take a look at:

FP4 - Pictures Gallery

In a good, old tradition, let’s start a topic to gather some pictures taken with the FP4 camera. If you post your photos, please remember to include some details like which app, special modes/configs used if any, with or without editing/filter, etc. I’ll start with the same motive with different apps and no editing done afterwards.

[Alice2530]

that was : at the begining!
Thanks for your help.
So you think I should rather wait and see ?

[Alice2530]

Thank you for your help!
I mean, I wonder about the basic camera which is in the Fair4. Is it API? Or IMO? I don’t know!

[Razem]

No, API (application programming interface) is used by other applications to access camera hardware. If you are interested in an out-of-the-box experience (i.e., using the stock camera app), then take a look at that topic I mentioned and see if the quality of photos is acceptable to you.

[yvmuell]

As you will buy your first Smartphone ever, with what are you comparing the pictures? It all depends on what you used before in my eyes and what you mostly take pictures from. Nature in good lightning condution, concerts, Kids, Indoor etc…

I personally are happy with it for my use cases, however I would never rely on a Smartphone camera e.g. during vacations.

[Alice2530]

ok! I will have a look! Razem.
And thanks a lot Yvmuel, I’m happy to read your advise, it’s exactly what I nead.

[yvmuell]

At least something seems to have been fixed

Software update: FP4.SP21.B.048.20230215

My feedback so far with a Fairphone 4 with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal memory and an MicroSD card for additional external storage: Update went smoothly, everything works so far. Open Camera is able to use both back cameras by switching between them with the original Camera API as well as with Camera2 API. However with Camera2 API are 3 cameras reported: Camera ID 0, 2 and 3 where 0 and 3 are the same camera and 2 is the wide angle one. With the orignal Camera API only ID 0 and 2 are re…

[Razem]

Yep, ultra wide angle works fine.

In addition to:

@hirnsushi

I did have some lags in a darker environment, in a well lit room it’s about as responsive as the normal lense for me.

You’re right, seems like some kind of low-light processing gets triggered, but the normal lense doesn’t have the same issue in an almost dark room

I’ve switched from Nikita 8.2 to BSG 8.7 and was able to find a workaround. If you go to Settings → Configuration of modes → Camera modules → Back (0.6) and set the Surface list option to from HW FULL, the lag goes away.
(cc @noodlejetski @LibrePhoner)

[yvmuell]

I encounter the lag as well, however cant find this surface list using BSG 8.7 V10…could you share a Screenshot and confirm your exact Version?

[hirnsushi]

V11, but should probably be the same:

[Lars_Hennig]

The wide angle lens and the normal work fine in OpenCamera. but the resolution is still changed once you switch on HDR. This works fine with Gcam ports.

[yvmuell]

thanks a lot, so I’m not blind… it was not there in the version I had installed… updated to V11 and now I have it

Btw. as fasr as I can see with latest Nikita 8.2 I cant access the wide angle lense

[Lars_Hennig]

@yvmuell

Btw. as fasr as I can see with latest Nikita 8.2 I cant access the wide angle lense

It works if you set the auxiliary camera in Settings - General - extended (Einstellungen, Abschnitt Allgemein - Erweitert - Hilfskamera). Enable the first and second sensor (Erster und Zweiter Bildsensor). The first is the normal the second the wideangle lense. By setting the icon text you can explicitly name those sensors accordingly

[Razem]

Yeah, looking at the changelog, it seems that they added this option in the last version (V11). What a timing.
