Hello all,
I noticed that photo quality is lower than shots taken with version 2.1. It seems to be more noise in 2.2 photos. Did someone else noticed this ?
Also I saw that flash doesn't fire at full capacity. When you use the built in flashlight app and power it to max you'll see that the light is very powerfull.

I love my XDA Exec to bits - apart from the main camera.
Is there any way of increasing the shutter speed? When I take a picture I have to hold the handset still for what seems like an age or I end up with a blurry mess of an image.
Slighty away from the main question but still image related - is there a way of increasing the resolution Internet Explorer Mobile downloads images? I often have to download jpgs for work & the image quality I end up with is simply awful.
Thanks
For some reason, the camera uses much slower shutter speeds when set to full 1 Mpixel size. About half of all photos I shoot outside in bright sunlight end up completely overexposed, i.e. saving lots of ink if I print them as they are bright white all over. If I on the other hand set the camera to VGA size then shutter speeds are faster and the photos end up correctly exposed.
Old camera driver much better!
I reloaded my JASJAR with i-mate's old 1.12 ROM. It's camera is version 3.00, build 20856 and it handles low light much better. Attached here is a 1 MP photo shot just like the one in my previous post. It looks like they have tried to reduce noise by decreasing shutter speeds in recent ROMs.
Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson Arc and the images taken by its camera look pretty good on the phone it self, but wen it comes to downloading them on PC the results are quite unexpected. the image resolution is poor 400xXXX pixels or less and size is about 600kb (same shown in astro file explorer) although its taken on 8mpx settings and same with using HDR camera. I use universal android suit (i dont know maybe i need original sofware?) The question is how do I fix that Resolution problem? what settings and where? pls help

i don't believe hdr camera supports full resolution even if it claims it. Take a picture with the stock camera and check the resolution on that. What's universal Android suit?

HDR camera does support full resolution, I have taking several pictures with both SE camera app, HDR camera and Vignette all at 8MP and compared them with 100-200% magnification, the resolution on each is exactly the same, there is absolute no difference in the details recorded.
HDR camera does after combining three pictures increase color saturation and contrast for the whole picture and fine details. This makes the pictures look like they have more details but up close it is easy to see the same amount of details and same pixel sizes.
I have decided to uninstall Vignette as it add some very weird "pixel curtain" all over the pictures which initially gives it a larger file size as it add additional pixels which is not supposed to be there. This could give the wrong impression that it contains more details which is not the case.
So I downloaded the latest version of google camera port on my HTC 10 and was not really impressed with the. recommended settings quality. I read in different posts that it produces really good looking HDR+ low light shots. So I decided to make this post and ask if anybody who is using the app has any knowledge of what settings to use to get good low light picture quality, or if I should just stick to the HTC app for HTC roms. Thank you all in advance.
I use version 3.4b with the attached settings. For ultra low-light I use HDR+, which is a bit noisy, but bright and colorful. For mid lights I'll use no HDR+ or auto, and for high lights I use Auto HDR+.
ok so, I installed the lastest apk, I'm following this project since the first release
it never worked well on low light,too much noise, but I think that this version could be tweakable to give back good results
does anyone understand how settings work? what a setting does to processing?
do you recommend something for any reason?
In the latest update sony seemed to add some camera updates besides that audio setting.
(50.1.A.13.83)
It seems there is more color after you take the picture.
Also when HDR is on (manual mode), it seems it only does a hdr photo whenever it's needed, for example when im just taking a photo of an object it takes a single photo and does no hdr but whenever the background is brighter than the foreground it takes 3 photos and then combines them.
Anyone else noticed it?
Yes ! I was about to ask, if it's just me or the camera takes much better low light photos now ?
Before it was just bumping ISO to 12800 in real low light conditions, and the photo quality was like well, 1/ISO
Now not even the used ISO level is lower, or at least not bumped so quickly, but even the Superior Auto mode used for low light produces more detailed photos. And plain "Night mode" photos are really nice now.
Now I really enjoy my Xperia's camera (which I really hated before, tbh...)
Really, really good job, SONY !!
Hello.
I have a frustrating problem with my asus zenfone 5z 8/256gb version.
Camera performs well in good light condition, but when it comes to take photo in low light for example in home with bulb light or when sun comes down i got problem.
Cuz camera preview looks like have 5-10fps? And talking a photo takes a while I mean click on button and i have to wait couple of sec without any movement otherwise i will get so blured photo..
Also I have a second problem in low light i getting strange white/color lines, something like flickering...
I make post on official asus zentalk, but they said "Under normal light source brightness, the camera preview frame rate speed is 30fps; in low light environment, it will be reduced to 8fps, increasing the exposure time and increasing the brightness of the preview, so the preview may result in afterimage, which is the design behavior." - And its funny for me, because for example Pocofone F1 with same sony sensor don't have that problem.
Now i don't know, is that issue with asus software or it's issue with camera hardware and I have to go with phone to service?
Well if it's software issue, any of custom rom fix that?
There is few photos/videos:

What's wrong with this phone.. ?
Thank you for any help!
I have the same issue both with the low quality laggy viewfinder in camera apps (like Snapchat) and the flickering screen / vertical lines in low light. Focusing is also not as reliable in low light.
My main camera's focusing is defective and doesn't work anymore. I am attempting to get it replaced under warranty (I hope they ignore the unlocked bootloader, if not then there are replacement camera modules on eBay).
I don't think a camera replacement would help the laggy viewfinder in camera apps, but I will report back if the flickering/lines is improved in any way.
Same to my phone 5z. Video quality not good 8n low light condition. The slow motion video in low light also terrible
Just got my phone back from Asus with a replacement rear camera.
So far, the vertical lines and flickering have not improved. Focusing and taking videos (in the Camera app and in social media apps) still have a lot of flickering and lines.
Although, I did notice that Snapchat has much improved video recording. Not sure if it was the camera replacement, or the update to Android 10, but the viewfinder in Snapchat has minimal lag and takes much better videos than before.
Edit:
I can confirm MUCH better camera quality/smoothness in 3rd party apps (specifically Snapchat and Instagram) on the official Android 10 update. My snaps are very smooth and locked to 60fps, even in the dark (although the images/videos in general come out a little darker).
Some of the custom Android 10 based roms I tried (which are currently based on the Pie vendor) have significantly worse camera image/video in 3rd party apps.
Same problem here. That's very annoying because sometimes I'm recording in good light condition but background have some dark places then the lines are constant flickering in that part. This is ridiculous bad software problem.
