Zenfone 9 Photo thread!

[Mattias_ASUS]

Zenfone 9 is here and as many of you probably have seen, we got some pretty impressive cameras this time around!
So I propose a thread with some of our best pictures, the pics I will upload are taken by normal average people and without any enhancements.

The picture above was taken with the camera's Light trail mode by a waterfall.

I'll mention my problem also here, cause it's obviously not getting attention by asus - when shooting in pro mode, using raw format, there's at least a 1sec gap between pressing the shutter and actually taking the picture, and when shooting something moving, the chance of missing the right moment is 100%. This is unacceptable for a phone with "the best" cpu at the moment, if the reason is the pointless saving of both 50mp raw and 50mp jpg. And I believe this is the reason, because the problem occurs only with the main camera.
Either allow only raw image save(50mp), or 12mp raw+12mp jpg, or 50mp raw+12mp jpg if the device is incapable of managing the current 50mp raw+50mp jpg image saving(which again - is useless and pointless option).

We saw your post earlier, of course it got attention! I am just doing an internal investigation first.

It's because they use a custom pipeline where it change sensor mode from mode 1 or 2 (binned res as preview) to mode 0 (full res) so the delay might be from here.
The sensor mode 0 is only 10 fps so it's not in use for the preview. Only in capture as a single frame.
I CamX    : [CORE_CFG][SENSOR ] camxsensornode.cpp:10202 AcquireResources() Sensor[3] [imx766_d], SensorMode:0, 8192x6144, FPS:10, isReconfigNeeded:0
I think other OEMs also use a similar technique to switch sensor mode this way and so the same delay is needed.
Not all sensor can do full res with 30 fps. Even Pixel 6/6 Pro they just dismissed the 50MP res raw completely. For IMX766, the max is 24 fps but they choose 10 fps to minimize noise.

No updates to my ZF9 as of yet.
Photo was taken after midnight, so it was properly dark. Those are not headlights showing on the road, those are front parking lights.
