Photo pro brightness - Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers

Been trying out then photo pro app. Noticed that when I'm in the app the screen goes really dark to the state where I had to adjust the phone's display brightness as I can't see what I'm capturing instead of bringing the brightness up automatically when capturing pictures. My old phone automatically brings the brightness up when the camera app was launched.
Anyone else having this issue as well?

Dark screen when opening camera

Recently I noticed that whenever I open the stock camera app the screen went very dark. I thought something wrong with the app so I installed another camera app and it had the same symptoms. Interestingly that the pictures came out all right. After some thinking I went to the display options, unchecked the automatic brightness and moved the slider from 0 all the way up to full brightness. That immediately solved the problem. So here is the FYI, it seems like the camera API disregards the automatic brightness option and always uses the manual setting.
P.S. I was considering resetting the phone because I couldn't figure out that nuisance at first. Luckily I didn't have to.

Fixed mine, as well.
There is also a screen brightness setting within the camera app.

[Q] issues in video recording and display

Hi..
When i'm recording the video i see these black horizontal lines moving upwards which is really annoying. I've been facing this problem from my first video recorded. And the other issue with display is when i open options menu on any white/light colored background(specially during browsing) i notice the screen flickers.This problem disappear on high or very very low brightness.I'm using the device for two months now.Anybody else facing or faced such problems.What is the solution to this?
Me too :-(
Any solution?

Well what i have discovered with the video recording issue seems to be with the fluorescent lighting. I've tested it very well and turning on the tube light (fluorescent lamp) causes the dark rolling lines in video. Now I want to know if this occurs only in few mobiles with any particular bug? Can you guys check this and confirm? Also is this a hardware or software related bug?
And i still don't have any clue about the display flickering on touching the menu and back options area of the screen.
Any help would be of great use to solve this issue.
Regards

Are you using the stock ROM. Did you ever try other ROM's and test if this was a software bug of stock ROM?
To solve screen flickering problem you can go to Settings -> Display, and uncheck "Auto adjust screen power" option. I guess this option works like "dynamic contrast" option in PC monitors, by lowering screen brightness in some scenes. This may save some battery life, but the side effect is screen flickering during some animations, etc.
And I think that issue with fluorescent light occurs on a lot of digital cameras.

Thanks a ton dude.. Disabling that feature feature really did a trick for LCD flicker. Yeah i've seen that black rolling lines in a few other camera videos but when i record videos, they appear so dark and distracting.. Its all the black lines rolling upwards and I have to delete that annoying video immediately. Also I read it has to do with the frequency of lamps in asia etc etc.. Can a few of you guys check this issue and clarify.

App to automatically switch screen modes?

I like keeping my phone on Adaptive Display most of the time but prefer to watch videos in the Amoled Photo screen mode. Does anyone know if an app like tasker will allow you to set up a rule so that when you open a video app like MX Player, the phone will automatically switch to Amoled Photo mode, then when you exit out, it will revert back to Adaptive Display? If so, can you show me how? I don't mind paying for the app but I'd like to know if its possible before I do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[APP][2.3+] Auto Brightness - app for phones without light sensor

Hey everyone,
I would like to present you app that I created to automatically adjust screen brightness. Tested on LG K8, Android 6.0. App is using front camera to determine lighting in smartphone environment. I created it because I recently changed my phone and as it turned out this one does not have light sensor, and that was cumbersome for me (day or so after using phone I faced situation when I was outside, it was very sunny and brightness was set to like 10%. It was impossible to unlock phone because I couldn't see anything on screen even if I tried to cover phone screen from that light, so phone was totally unusable!). I didn't find this kind of app on Google Play so that's why we have this thread.
FEATURES:
- automatically adjusts screen brightness
- automatically turn on device boot
- 5 frequency options
HOW TO USE:
1. Download.
1.1. [6.0+] Give permissions.
2. Choose one of available options (I recommend using medium refresh rate).
MORE INFORMATIONS:
Of course app will be improved. I want to add notification with brightness adjust bar, and improve algorithm that is determining what brightness level will be set.
FREE DOWNLOAD:
App in attachement.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT AND TIME!
Thats good for device doesnt have light sensor
Great idea... However on my k8 its a bit confused... i tried it in the office during daylight, it was quite dark instead of bright and when i covered the front camera its become bright... maybe you could put some options there to manually adjust intesity levels related to the picture brightness?
Good idea

Display is slightly blinking in specific conditions

Yesterday i noticed something strange in my OP7p and i'd like you to check whether something like this occurs in your phones. Issue, which i will describe occurs only when i have 90hz refresh rate set and the low brightness of the screen with the auto adjustment of brightness turned off. The easiest way to see that is on youtube application with a dark theme. When we start a movie on the full screen (horizontally) and watch it for a few seconds, then go back to the vertical position, there is something like weak but visible blink of the screen, or a minimal colours change. It can be noticed in other apps, e.g. on facebook. Seems to me this is a software problem, beacause the same phenomenon doesn't exists when we set 60hz refresh. I would be very grateful if you can check it on your phones and give me a know about it.
I don't usually start videos in full screen mode and never noticed it but yeah definitely does a white flicker.
This is the highest brightness I could get it to do the flicker at.
Thank you for an answer. Personally i am able to see this flicker on a little bit higher screen brightness, but maybe its because im sitting in a dark room now. I was worried cause sometimes i see it during the normal usage of phone, and if only my OnePlus would be affected by this flickering i could still return it or exchange for a new one. It isnt very disturbing however interesting is whats cause of it.

this is usual for EVERY Oled screen and is called jelly effect...
You might want to try the DC dimming option in Settings->Utilities->OnePlus Laboratory.

From what i know jelly effect appears while we scrolling some content and propably that's not what i meant in my first post. Also flicker in my case is only visible on 90hz refresh rate.
I have galaxy s7e as a second phone and that effect doesn't happen there.
