Something off with Google camera default mode.

These pictures were taken last night (7th Nov) Google camera performed poorly. V1.0.

Taken with OnePlus Stock camera with flash.

[IMG="this was taken with OnePlus stock camera with flash"]http://i67.tinypic.com/2d9qn4g.jpg[/IMG]

This was Google camera night sight.

[IMG="this was Google Night sight."]http://i63.tinypic.com/152owfa.jpg[/IMG]

This was Google camera normal mode with flash.

[IMG="this was Google camera normal mode with flash."]http://i63.tinypic.com/9bm5hs.jpg[/IMG]

As you can see, night sight fails spectacularly as it oversaturates colours.

But surprise was normal mode with flash. Did not expect to get the dark mess you see above.

Also if you see the viewfinder in stock camera it showed much brighter image. In Google camera it was much dark. As if both had a completely different exposure with Google set to minimum.

ZSL = Zero shutter lag (self explanatory)

The shot is taken the moment you press the shutter button

Personally I use enhanced HDR+ most of the time.

I can only give you one advice: you have to get accustomed to the device and software you are using yourself.

In photography, there is no "better" setting. You have to know what you want to do (take photos of) and find your ideal settings for the right situation.

I know this is OP6 thread but just to let you know, Night Sight in GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013 works **amazing** on Essential PH-1.

Didn't work for me in previous versions.

So far the app only crashes after taking a Photo Booth picture, and image is not saved.

My preferred choice:

R 0.8

G1 0.7

G2 0.5

B 1.5

Also, I've already encountered one big issue, see attachments (the left one is gcam, right - stock). Some kind of color-based image degradation.

UPD: It seems that this issue only pops-up when changing R with G1 values. For example, it's gone when I've changed G1 0.7 to 0.6 :/

Test also last Build but picture not processing. Have wipe data.

Edit: Problem is the Nexus 6 HDR+ Config toogle. Without working fine.
[Google Camera Mods] damnedon:
I think red 1.3 works better, but have no time for now, i'll test it later
[Google Camera Mods] rubino25:
Same here, camera crash with most of the settings!
[Google Camera Mods] karthik1der:
Try it on the arnova version, as the other mgc version values differ.

Reducing the red level causes the blue, green tinted look. With red 1.4 the image is more neutral.
[Google Camera Mods] SpectraFun:
With Nexus 6 HDR+ Config can not make pictures. Without working.
[Google Camera Mods] Lord Alpha:
Image is not getting processed in hdr or hdr+enhanced mode. The viewfinder shows a semi loaded circle and then stops in hdr+enhanced mode whereas the processing circle gets completed but no image is captured still.
[Google Camera Mods] Kevinkuensken:
Arnova Version Works good but sharpness on Stock Camera is better
[Google Camera Mods] SpectraFun:
First stock, second gcam.

Disable Nexus6P model in settings. I've faced the same bug with it.
[Google Camera Mods] xterminater07:
The problem with changing white balance numbers from other versions before that works is that you have to change it based on dif scenarios and that is annoying and tedious. When you guys change these numbers, does it stay the same for all lighting conditions?
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
Played around with the Manual AWB Gains on OP6v0.5_GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8 a bit and got some kind of dark pictures indoors. Also, at one point artifacts started showing up in bright areas while zoomed in with a double-tap.

They were not there when i went back to test OP6v0.4GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8 again.

(Tried to upload comparison shots but it would not work.)
[Google Camera Mods] Will008:
I like the color scheme of the stock camera, just not the details, oil painting effect, HDR. Can we get the coloring scheme values of the stock camera some how and apply it to the ported GCam?

Edit: With manually applied values for me some work good indoors but not outdoors and vise versa
[Google Camera Mods] feeliumz:
Yay, was able to upload the shots now:

Difference between viewfinders.

This is the stock viewfinder

[IMG="stock"]http://i66.tinypic.com/2uza2l3.jpg[/IMG]

This is the Google camera Viewfinder. Too dark.

[IMG="google"]http://i65.tinypic.com/2ih5v9s.jpg[/IMG]
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
[MENTION=4938419]xeltos[/MENTION]

It has been mentioned multiple times by now:

In lowlight conditions, enhanced HDR+ will produce better shots than regular HDR+ (with ZSL).

On your screenshot it is clearly visible that you are using regular HDR+, as the toggle for the HDR+ mode is missing.

Now enhanced HDR+ will not result in a brighter viewfinder, but in brighter images.

I can confirm your findings: in really low lighting situations, stock camera will show a brighter viewfinder.

Also the flash in Gcam is noticeably darker compared to the flash in the stock app.

This might be another limitation in OnePlus' camera implementation though. I think only [MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] can provide more insight.

And I would not say Night Sight failed in your comparison shots, as it is obvious that more light (flash) will result in better / more natural results.

After all, Google is using computational photography for Night Sight. Their processing is bringing the colors back, not the sensor.

As I already mentioned in another post: not all settings / modes can be applied to all situations. Nobody said we won't get better results with the stock camera with certain settings or flash for example.

Using the given tools (apps) wisely is key. I'm sure there are plenty other situations were you will never get close to Night Sight, even with a flash. The subject was pretty close in your comparison.

At some point the flash won't reach that far ;)
[Google Camera Mods] sidrocks316:
awesome camera thanks developer . better than stockcamera night mode

Lowlight vs preset. (Updated)

*•*True View of Scene

*•*OnePlus NightSight

*•*Gcam NighMode

*•*photo1 Custom Settings (check drive for info) handheld

*•*photo2 Custom Settings (check drive for info) Tripod

link to drive : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=17RF8shQoGlYOy-_4ozY0zyxvo6CHd2Fn

Tripod used : Tripod was used for all shots in test to ensure consistency, I used a $5 one with a $1 phone mount. Something an everyday consumer would be able to get. however photo 1 can be done handheld just fine.

Gcambuild: GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk

OOS : 9.0.2

Non Rooted.

Comments:

obviously leaving the shutter open draws in more light but it also captures more yellow. so i just manually tune that and save it as a preset. because night photos usually need to be cooled. I tried to use as low iso as possible in the settings to try reduce any unnecessary noise caused by high iso.

photo 1's settings are nice if you dont have tripod. as you can see the noise is significantly decreased and has way better sharpness. but still kept relatively the same exposure.

For me it's all about getting the auto focus to lock, then it comes out great. these modes are for scenery shots I find. And you need to find the sweet spot. Because I know alot of people including myself try it in extreme conditions. If you look at the image stats, all the modes do is unlock your iso limit. And take multiple exposures shots and combines them. I see evidence of this with the OnePlus night sight too. But I think for now Googles processing of the image and amount of iso unlock achievable is superior. I saw iso levels up to 9200+- from the gcam and 7000+- from the OnePlus. i think gcam is applying some form of shadows and highlight filter like from photoshop.

i would suggest using stock promode for a TRUE night mode experience, for still shots that are closer. and gcam for larger scene shots. ProMode will always give you better results if you put in the time to fiddle. but if you on the run then just use gcam for most cases.

if you want to see some awesome macro and travel photos taken from my OnePlus 6 then check out my Instagram.

[Google Camera Mods] Arnova8G2:
[MENTION=4938419]xeltos[/MENTION], For security reasons oneplus does not give access to some function of the system so camera2 api for other apps.

For the flash and viewfinder, it is camera service which manages, it it gives access to camera stock, facebook and other but not Gcam.

A comparison In this order:

GCam HDR+

GCam HDR+ Enhanced

GCam Night Auto Focus

GCam Night Distant Focus

GCam Night Nearby Focus

Stock HDR Auto

Stock HDR Off

Stock HDR On

Stock Night
[Google Camera Mods] PiraTan:
It works fine!

So you think is there no way to improve 4mp front camera shot and get viewfinder and flash work better on gcam?

For the yellow tint in gcam night mode, as somebody already asked, can you implement the right settings in next update?

thx for all your work!
[Google Camera Mods] tahirovic:
Does Oneplus 6 work on the top shot?
[Google Camera Mods] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Yes at least it worked for me last night ... When I was pushing volume keys trying to zoom LOL.. then I realized this took so bunch of pictures.
[Google Camera Mods] robbie0512:
Hey Man thank you so much for putting your consistent efforts to give Pixel 3 camera Experience cant thanku enough coz now i am addicted to GCAM however there is one issue. I am using OP6 running on 9.0.2 and GCAM oftenly the app gets closed without any error when i take potrait selfie. Just for testing i installed in another op6 device and got the same results. It mostly happen on potrait mode. Please help to fix it.
[Google Camera Mods] megahead34:
What is the shortcut on the OP6T to launch the camera? Is there a way to launch the GCam instead?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
Seriously, please stop spamming this thread with the same large post.

If users don't respond, it's because this has been mentioned a dozen times before.

Selfies are not stable on Gcam on the OP6 at the moment. Everybody has this issue.
[Google Camera Mods] meiax93:
After playing GCam, i not get heat issue, or maybe not use too long. Night mode on GCam sometime got issue, but close/open app still can use. ;)

Will try later at night to see if it was in night mode.. will let you know.
[Google Camera Mods] meiax93:
wow. nice ;)
[Google Camera Mods] Kaushikpatowari:
Thank you for your awesome work on this port sir.

Although I have been able to obtain some amazing shots with this port..many a times the camera doesn't keep the object (s) in perfect focus even after tapping on it mostly in low light shots. Can you please look into it .

Also adding the shutter control is a very good idea.

Another log for Night Sight:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RQ70J7emq7netXdq15AeFI7abfWWTwWH

First few attempts the app did not even show the circle animation. It just refused to take the shots at all. No real lowlight, just pointing below my desk.

Followed by a couple Night Sight shots which were taken without problems.

The last two attempts the circle animation stopped halfway and the shots were not taken.

MatLog actually froze after stopping the log recorder, so I don't know if it all was logged correctly.

It seems MatLog got worse since going to Pie. Does anybody know a good alternative?
[Google Camera Mods] gn0s1s:
did you edit it in post or did you use the color temperature setting to retake the shots?
[Google Camera Mods] arsyadvyn:
hye bro.can post more low light sample using night sight? :)

After the last update I'm getting a purple tint in night mode
[Google Camera Mods] RockStar2005:
New vid by Jerome.

Getting better, though Pixel 3 is still the best. Too bad that phone is ugly and has AWFUL battery life per GSM Arena.
[Google Camera Mods] xphyle1971:
Lies. I owned the Pixel 3XL and averaged over 6hrs SOT every single day.
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
Battery life was not that bad in the pixel 3. I think pie had a lot to do with it. But there was a lot to like in the pixel 3; the size was great (a tad shorter and wider that the OP6T), I like the idea of front facing speakers, and it was very fluid given its limited resources. Oh yeah...and the camera is FANTASTIC! The latter we now have for OP6 because of this project.

There was a lot to like with the pixel 3, but I traded it in for a OP6T and couldn't be happier.
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Here is an example of how night mode quality has decreased since last update and also the purple tint

First is 1_build.6.1.013

Second is 1.1_build.6.1.013

I would love it if this could be fixed, it was much better before.

Oh and I tried multiple times reinstalling with clearing cache on both version but the results where the same
[Google Camera Mods] kryshnakishore:
it works fine for most of us. clear cache & reboot. in night mode set the focus to far
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
I have done this multiple times, this is definitely a problem with the app version. Test it yourself in a really dark area, it's not as noticeble in brighter areas.

Switch between GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.1_build.6.1.013.apk and GCam_Pixel3Mod_1_build.6.1.013.apk

Do the same test image, you will see the difference
[Google Camera Mods] kryshnakishore:
then install matlog app & share the log... text msg doesn't help much as log does.
[Google Camera Mods] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Can you please help me with this? I've never done it before, there is so much popping up I don't know what to copy and from where, and is there a way to filter it so it is only logs from gcam?
[Google Camera Mods] AcmE85:
The purple tint was an accident and already fixed a couple pages ago.

Just redownload the current version from google drive.
[Google Camera Mods] RockStar2005:
The rating on GSM Arena is for the Pixel 3, not 3 XL. The XL has a bigger battery so I would assume it does better as well.
[Google Camera Mods] n8chavez:
It was a wash; the pixel three xl has a bigger battery but also a bigger screen.
[Google Camera Mods] Gowri12:
Dear arnova you helped us a lot about night mode. But still night mode is not at par with Google pixel. See latest Jerome ortega video posted in youtube

Mostly yellowish colour temperature and still more developments to be made in both night mode and daylight mode.

I have noticed that if you get the yellowish tint even on fluorescent mode then it can further be fixed by switching from fluorescent to tungsten mode to fix the white balance. Can anyone else confirm?
