Why Try GCam on the OnePlus 8?
Even with multiple software updates, the OnePlus 8’s default camera doesn’t fully unleash the potential of its Sony IMX586 sensor. GCam changes that with computational photography that simply works better.
HDR+ Enhanced – Balanced and Bright Shots
GCam captures multiple images at different exposures and blends them:
-
Better highlights and shadows
-
More natural color tones
-
No more overblown skies or dull greenery
Perfect for outdoor scenes or harsh sunlight conditions.
Night Sight – See in the Dark
Low light is where GCam shines brightest. Night Sight uses long exposure and noise reduction algorithms to:
-
Brighten dark scenes without losing detail
-
Keep photos sharp and clean
-
Avoid harsh flashes and blown-out lights
Great for nightouts, concerts, or cozy indoor photos.
Portraits with Natural Bokeh
With GCam:
-
Edge detection is highly accurate
-
Skin tones are more natural
-
Background blur looks soft and DSLR-like
Your portraits will look professionally shot — even with the front cam.
Astrophotography Mode ????
This mode captures long-exposure shots of the night sky, stars, and constellations. Just mount your phone still (tripod or flat surface) and:
-
Activate Night Sight
-
Wait for Astrophotography mode to kick in
-
Enjoy magical starry results
