Since the FP3 is equipped with the same camera as the Pixel 3(a), it could greatly benefit from the Pixel camera app as the stock one takes some pretty average quality photos. Apparently there are already ports for several phones (see https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/ and Googl…

I actually see a note on the gallery icon (blue circle like a notification symbol) when the processing seems to take place, so this probably helps to determine how long to wait. And as I said, I find the pictures very good, too.

As long as you are patient to wait and you dont want to take a few pictures in a row you are fine then. Would drive me nuts :wink: just wanted to say that normal HDR+ mode already makes good pictures, so you could try if its less disturbing/slow/interrupting music (in case you use the super HDR ++ …

▶ I checked and I apparently left the HDR+ status as it was – I guess same as yours. After the 2nd /e/OS 0.23 update tonight, the screen generally seems to turn on much quicker again than after the 1st, maybe that comes with general performance improvement, too.

By the way, i have had one longer and a shorter photo walk after the most recent /e/OS update, and the problems have been nowhere as severe as described (on 11 April) then. For the time being, I think it was a temporary /e/ issue. Still quite happy with going GCam, although I have started to wonder…

You should be able to deactivate to test? [Screenshot_20220419-153723]

I have now reached a point where for the first time ever since using a smartphone, I feel like I can leave my trusty old digital camera (from the year 2005, 5.1 MP) behind. Until now, nature photos were always what made me unhappy with smartphone cameras. The only thing still missing for me is a rea…

[image] urs_lesse: Nikita GCam version 1.7 (based on Google Camera 8.2.300.368894857.16) Seems very good, given that an optical zoom is indeed missing. Do you recommend by the way using ‘Videostabilisation’? Is there also a quality improvement regarding the videos in the latest version you a…

Sorry, I cannot provide any experience there, I’ve never used really used video with any of the camera apps.

Admittedly, I selected the best of 7 butterfly shots I took in the late afternoon today, but there were at least 3 more out of these which looked quite crisp and 99% equally presentably, too. Of the other three, some blurring on parts of the animal was visible on really close viewing – there was a g…
