Camera improvements

[meso_erik]

Hello
coming from Pixel 3 (from 2018) I had high expectation for the camera. In general, shooting still objects in well lit scenarios is OK however I noticed a few things that could be tweaked, software wise:
HDR - it works well however in many cases it creates various artifacts and the detail is lost
Dimmer condition - even with the regular indoor lighting it is impossible to capture a shot that is not blurry when it comes to a moving object. My Pixel 3 preserves better details (has a much smaller sensor and lower count of megapixels) however at the expense of a little bit more noise, which I don't mind.
Zero Shutter Lag - is it possible to introduce it in the camera SW? It will probably drain battery faster but it's very useful when capturing a moment
Selfies - in general, in well lit conditions they look good (again my Pixel 3 with 8MP with an archaic HW delivers more detailed pictures) however even with the slightest sign of a darker environment (usual indoors conditions) the quality degrades rapidly. In general I personally prefer detail with a little bit of noise rather than just a blurry face.
Selfies - is it possible to add a night mode?
It might be that some of this is because of the optics and then you can't do anything about it but somehow I feel that the HW is capable of much more and the computations photography is lagging behind on the SW side.
What are the future camera improvements you plan to introduce pls as I like the phone but I'm a little disappointed in the cameras.
Thank you

I can't complain in shutter lag, but in portrait mode you can press and hold the shutter, and it only fires when you release it.

Image quality improvements are always welcome, so keep going please.

Everyone approaches camera quality differently and we'll keep improving our cameras.

Asus team,i like that you respond so quickly to our problems and suggestions,not many company does that.
Is there any change to add astrophotography and live filters on camera? astro like pixels,live filters like motorola.
Gcam is not good,stock firm is much better.

So far my first Asus phone,and i love it.

Astrophotography as a feature you see on the Pixel camera is not something we will add - but we will see what can be done for future devices - at this point it is not in the pipeline. However with the camera's manual mode you are able to capture the night sky already - albeit requires a bit more manual post processing to get it all nice 🙂

Live filters is something we can consider but at this point is not in the planning either

Thanks!
