MrKim Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 9, 2019 #1 Got my app working fine on one tablet and a phone. Tried a different tablet (Insignia 10") and for some reason the image is very dark both viewing and after the picture is dark as well. With the built in camera app it is fine. Screenshot below. Bottom image is what a picture looks like on my app. The top one is what it looks like with the built in camera app. I have messed with all of the settings available with camera lib to no avail . Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated. Last edited: Mar 10, 2019

I have not tested with Camera/CamEx(1). Will test when I have the time. Thanks Erel Upvote 0

I also notice that Camera2 does not seem to be able to fully 'unzoom'. Note that in bright sunlight things seem fine. The pictures displayed were under a 60 watt lamp. I would really like to stick with camera 2 as I have written a lot of code around it . Upvote 0

Again you can see that the zoom is also not quite right. Below is a picture taken with indirect sunlight. As you can see, other than the zoom being off it looks OK. It seems to be an issue only with lower light conditions, or perhaps the color of the light. Attachments upload_2019-3-12_15-11-28.png 208.8 KB · Views: 536 Upvote 0

Does it work better with Camera / CamEx (1) ? Click to expand... Looks like I was wrong about it being tablet specific. My testing on the other tablet was probably just done in daylight. Here is the results for Camera, CamEX(1), and the built in app for a new Lenovo tablet running Android 8. As you can see the Camera 2 example is dark. Both Camera and Camera 2 have an issue with not being able to zoom all the way out. Now that the sun is going down the results in my office become more obvious. In all cases zoom is set to minimum setting. Attachments upload_2019-3-12_19-2-37.png 211.7 KB · Views: 573 Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 13, 2019 #7 Please start a new thread about the zoom and explain how you are modifying it. I recommend you to use Camera (1) if it works better. Upvote 0
