May i kindly ask if it is possible to add a portrait-mode to the new camera app that creates photos with a bokeh effect?

Welcome to the Fairphone community.

Please be aware, that this is a user forum, you donā€™t address Fairphone directly with your posting but only fellow users. although some Fairphone employees might read along here from time to time.

So itā€™s better contact Fairphone support by mail to reach in your feature request.

There is a portrait mode in the camera app.
Right above the gallery shortcut, thereā€™s a hamburger menu for additional camera options, and thatā€™s where you find portrait mode.

And using the pencil you can move it to the ā€œhomescreenā€

Hmm, there is no such icon in my camera app:

And that turned on creates photos with the desired bokeh effect (blurry background)?

Also for me there is not the portrait icon. But Iā€™m on eOS so the camera app may be a little different. Are you @xjohanx on stock ROM? And if so, whatā€™s your app/OS version

Maybe its not available on the FP4 I think @Nabalazs has a FP5? Will check later on my FP4.

Edit: it indeed does not exist on the FP4 (edit: with FPOS). So @xjohanx for a feature request you would have to contact Fairphone support, the forum is a user forum.

yeah, i have /e/OS (v2.5) installed as well

Then I guess you have to ask Murena, not Fairphone.
Would have been a valuable information at the beginning, btw :wink: .

Not really as we talk about the FP Cam App and I use FPOS

11

But itā€˜s still e/OS/ which is used here, so Fairphone has not much influence on which functions are implemented or working on that OS.

12

That is in this case not correct, as e/OS has no influence on the FP Camera App,

13

But on the integration in the own OS.

14

The app does not have this function, so e/OS cant add it, its the App developer who would have to do this and this is Fairphone.

15

At the beginning, it was shown, that the app has such a function, then people with e/OS/ on their phone showed that the function isnā€˜t there. So for me there is a difference in the implementation.

Anyway, even if Fairphone adds a function in the app on FOS, that doesnā€™t mean it will be there on different operating systems, as Fairphone apps canā€˜t be installed freely from Play Store or other app stores.

16

The screenshot showing the function is from a FP5!

17

Thereā€˜s no sign for that. But we should stop flooding this thread, We canā€˜t change anything, neither in the app, nor on the OS.

So we are back to my first posting of contacting support.

18

The camera app i was talking about comes from fairphone and they ship their phones, if desired, with the one and only /e/OS

Please avoid the passive aggressive tone.

That was just a helpful advice, not even addressed to you.
