Thread to discuss Honor 8 camera tips, tricks, hardware, software updates and settings. Also post photos of what your Honor 8 camera can do.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Yes, dual settings are always beneficial, as one lens captures vibrant colors, to give life to the image, and the other one captures amazing details to provide a crispness. :D :D

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AbadyRahman:
I'm not exactly happy with the camera. Quite disappointed tbh..

Here's what I noticed. Please confirm if you notice the same behavior on your devices or if it's just me.

1. The UI and the whole functionality in general is just quite primitive.. For one, the front/back switch button should be at the bottom where you can easily reach it using one hand. Like on the S7.

2. Snapping a picture isn't fast and instant. I found many times that the camera takes about a second to fine tune focus THEN it takes the snap then it asks to keep the device steady for sharpening. Even if it didn't do that, it still takes a moment after pressing the snap button to actually take the shot. This is what bugs me the most about the camera.

3. Why does recording video have to take an extra tap and, therefore, more time? Why isn't it as easy as tapping a record button on the main viewfinder screen?

4. I found pictures to be extremely dull. Colors are sad.. washed out.

5. "image adjustment" is quite a joke. Changing the values either explodes up or murders image features. For example trying to fix dull colors results in either extremely dead pictures or extremely punched out colors.

6. Even if I did accept the resulting changes from "image adjustment", I found that after a while it resets itself and I have to set it again...!

7. "AF Auxillary Light" option in pro photo mode never stays turned off. If I choose to turn it off, it should stay off.

8. I was told there was a vertical panorama mode where you can take panoramic shots of long buildings for example. Can't find it.

I do like how sharp the images are. Even compared to the S7, pictures preserve much more details. Something that often shows clearly when pixel peeping. Although, the dull colors that need post adjustment and the sluggish slow snapping just takes away all the fun, luxury and efficiency.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sousa2005:
My toughs in Low light conditions:

i have a S6 edge and a normal S6 and both phones takes better pictures in almost all situations in comparation with the honor in auto mode....sadly...

to make good pictures like my S6 I have to go in pro mode in the Honor 8 and make adjustments and even so, in the 40% of time the S6 wins in sharpness, detail in low light conditions...

most of the time I need 1 picture in the Samsung and 4 or 5 tries in the Honor to mach the picture in the Samsung.

good camera but for me but if you came from a samsung s6/s7 you will strange the honor 8.

in the color accuracy I think that the honor is more true colors..

the main problem for me in the honor 8 is the lake of OIS, the pictures, especially in low light conditions are most of the time, out of focus...

the camera app, I think that is no good for take pictures in auto mode...

in outdoors:

In 90% of the cases, Honor is the the winner for me.

Better colors, better contrast, better details overall...

How is the background defocus? Or need to wait for the Update??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] beachparty2k:
Seriously????

Ok, So both you guys are comparing the H8 to phones that cost at least $300 more or more!!! You understand that , right??????? Cause there's no comparison at that point! It's like me wanting to compare or complaining that my Ford Fusion can't take off as fast as a Masarati!!!!! Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds? I mean come one guys, this is a $400 (US) phone, what are you expecting??? This phone blows away most phones and for the price, you can't complain!:p

Primary Camera problems

I have some problems with primary camera:

1- in pro photo:

in complete darkness changes in EV has very small effect on final picture or does not have any effect at all

2- in pro photo:

in complete darkness and some shutter speeds(1/10,1/8,1/6,1/5,1/4,...) Led flash fires after the photo is taken hence it results a complete dark photo

3-in photo:

sometimes the image is a bit darker than normal

4-in photo:

Sometimes autofocus is not accurare

5-in video:

Recorded audio has low volume

Other than mentioned bugs i can say this phone has a great camera and it has very low noise in comparison with lg g4.

Does anybody have these problems?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LateForDinner:
Good camera. Don't know why people complain.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
It beats pixel camera and as I noticed I would see true colours compared to the phones in similar range. Don't know why people complaining about it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] power42.ali:
Honor 8 camera is very good but mine has some bugs as I said.

Exposur value and shutter speed are very important when using manual mode but unfortunately they have bugs in my honor 8.

Do you have these bugs or they are specific to me?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Are u using emui 5 ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] power42.ali:
No.I am using EMUI 4.1 firmware version L09C185B130
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LateForDinner:
Factory reset and if that doesn't work, replace it. Mine is good.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] power42.ali:
After update I have done 2 factory resets.

Did you take photos in complete darkness in pro photo with shutter speeed 1/8 ??
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
Maybe its a bug in pro mode, it doesn't matter what the shutter speed is set.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LateForDinner:
Yes. I even adjust exposure compensation while there. Adjustable. Everything works. Take your phone back.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
Here's a couple from Christmas
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] power42.ali:
in complete darkness If I set shutter speed on 1/10 or 1/8 or 1/6 ... then led flash is turned on for focusing and focus is without problem but for taking the picture it has a short delay and fires after the picture is actually taken.

So the picture becomes dark.

But 1/15 or 1/20 or 1/25 ... shutter speeds are without problem and led flash fires at the right time.

Thank you for attached pictures.

it seems that The first and the second photos are without led flash.did you turn it on?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LateForDinner:
Works fine. 1/8th with flash.

Ok I see now

These are at 1/10 then 1/20 then 1/30

Don't mind the dust
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] power42.ali:
Yes I am sure.

At your previous post look at the shadows.

The light is coming from right side and that is not from your phone.

your new photos also prove that it is a bug because 1/10 photo is dark and the others are well lit.

Thank you for pictures.

how would you like it worded exactly
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] flet2:
Here's some random food shots with wide apeture, a few night mode with various ISO/shutter settings (i took a bunch, not sure what these were) and one of the fire on Auto. Overall I'm really happy with the cam, but you definitely need a very steady hand to get a good shot with anything other than auto. It does seem tough to capture a random moment with a high level of detail/quality but any setup shot comes out quite nice to my eye.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceroglu:
Awesome shots!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] power42.ali:
I appreciate your help.

Please report below bugs(i am not sure about No.2 and No.3 if they are still present in beta nougat so please check them before report):

1- In pro photo & complete darkness & led flash on(not torch) If I set shutter speed on 1/10 or 1/8 or 1/6 ... then led flash is turned on for focusing and focus is without problem but the led flash has a short delay when capturing the scene and it fires after the picture is actually taken.

So the picture becomes dark.

But 1/15 or 1/20 or 1/30 ... shutter speeds are without problem and led flash fires at right time.

2- resolved detail in pro photo(manual mode) is noticeably lower than photo mode(automatic mode)

3- sound volume is low for captured videos.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
Done upgraded to nougat, but something seems not right at least for me..

In MM, there's no raw support for built in camera but with nougat you have that option.

Set saving to sdcard as priority, but with raw, it saved to internal and jpeg to sdcard.

Why?

Raw image seems too blured and compared to jpeg, we can see there's much sharpening going on.

I have lgg4, there shouldn't be much different in term of sharpening between those two.

In pro mode, captured with flash on with shutterspeed more than 1/10 still gives black picture same as MM.

Can someone confirmed it.

At least, the wide apparture mode file is smaller than MM.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] b1tt1:
If you are watching the raw file on the phone, you are actually just seeing a low-quality jpeg thumbnail embedded inside the dng file.

I've played with a couple of raw files in Lightroom, and you can get much better sharpening and of course no compression artifacts using the raw file. I haven't tried fiddling with dynamic range yet. If Honor 8 uses the monochrome sensor to enhance the jpeg, it's intresting to see how that contrasts with using raw from colour sensor only.

But the raw support definitely has some minor bugs. For example, the dng raw file is missing much of the exif metadata that the jpeg has. Especially the timezone information is missing from dng, causing image editors like Lightroom to misinterpret shooting time etc.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
Ahh, i see..but its hard to edit the raw within phone if its shows low quality image..

did you use sdcard??does dng file save to sdcard or internal?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] b1tt1:
I've never tried to edit the raw dng files using the phone, to me the point is to save the raw file so that I can produce a better photo in Lightroom, if the jpeg produced by the phone is not good enough.

And sorry, I cannot test saving to sd card. I have a 64 GB dual-sim phone with both sim slots in use, so no sd cards for me. :)

Coming from LG V10 which had both perfect camera and perfect camera interface I'm pretty disappointed by the stock camera application of the Honor 8.

on difficult lighting conditions you see that the colours are washed out. its a software thing.
