First:
Ngcam 1.7 xml v5
Macro slider focus
Zoom 1.5x
16,1mp

Second:
Edited lightroom
Can someone teach this Noob how to use GCam please?

1. So you press on the image to focus, and the exposure slider is for the focus point only? (other camera apps you can focus on one point and exposure at another point)

2, Recommendation for a good photo gallery? The inbuilt one doesnt work and the google photo is still bad

GCam is still GCam...
it's just that the stock xiaomi camera got better.
Also had F1 and yes, GCam there was a must.

If you use the focus slider, bottom left and put macro the phone has only one focus at ten centimeters away and you have to physically move it in or out to focus.

Guys.... Have you tried Thedise Gcam? I am using this port since my previous mia3 phone and I believe it works fine for poco as well! What are your thoughts?
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/DMGC_7.3.020_ver.4.5.apk
It is based on google camera 7.3 ... The gcam based on 7.4 give better results

For compression if you use the default compression you lose something in detail even if little ...

@surferbyter awesome Nikita GCam share, thank you very much! I installed in my Poco X3 NFC, and also put in your XML config.
Comparing stock cam with the Gcam, Gcam does dog pictures way better, I think: dog-nikita. vs dog-stock
but on grass, the Gcam appears too sharp - how to make it less sharp?
grass-nikita vs grass-stock

Thanks!

If the sharpness seems too much you can lower it. Find the value in:
settings/advanced/Libs patcher of the main camera.
Reduce the sharpness from 3000 to 2500 and try, and if anything reduce again one step at a time trying again until you find the one that is closest to your visual taste.

main camera is camera 1 on the menu, right?

The file must be copied to the folder indicated in the video:
/storage/emulated/0/gcam/Configs7

As for the awb there are several options in the settings. I use those for the IMX686 sensor which is the closest to our imx682.

For the administrators of the forum ... Can I make a special thread with the indications of the post above in order to give it more visibility? Or would it be a repeat of this?
