hi to all
i know its a noob question but how does the exemor sensor work with the camera ! if am recording at night, what options do i have to turn on to use this feature .. should i record in night mode to enable the Exemor ?? or it is enable by default
thank you in advance!
The Exmor R CMOS Sensor works on back-illuminated technology unlike conventional sensors that work on front-illuminated technology.
In conventional sensors, the light receptors are placed behind the wire circuits (front-illuminated technology). The wire circuits partly blocks the light while travelling to the receptive areas of sensor, thereby reducing the total amounts of light that reach the light receptor.
In low light, the signals from the sensor have to be boosted electronically to compensate the loss of light (in wire circuits), creating the noise that’s seen as fuzzy/grainy images.

The Exmor R CMOS Sensor that works on back-illuminated technology, replaces the position of layers such that the light receptor is not blocked by wire circuits. Thus the light falls directly on the receptive areas of sensor resulting in more light without needing to boost the signals from sensor. This in turn reduces the noise to a great extent and hence results in improved video and still picture quality with less noise, especially in low light.
And no, you don't have to do anything, it's low light capabilities are always on.

I find that the camera flash is inconsistent when taking photos and makes flash photos appear muddy or white balance is off because the camera is not taking the picture at the right time. Examples below.
No flash

Automatic Flash
Using the app flashlight forcing the light to stay on during capturing
As you can see there is a quality difference but i wonder if any one else has this or if there is a fix ???.

Great question, but I believe flash is handled by the Imagechip, so it's probably a driver issue, therefore if there is no setting exposed in the camera app to fix this, then the only fix can come from HTC.
My photos with flash are always yellowish.
@Op,
Reason is simple.
Flash on a smartphone or any other device doesn't make sense to my opinion.
Maybe for some situations it will work but for most it won't on a tiny device with such a small flashlight.
Why do you think pro camera's have external flashes?
In most situations it's better to use the camera without flash.
The only reason you need a flash is to shoot a moving object in low light conditions to get it sharp.
The object should be very close as it isn't possible to have a flash light so strong (with such a tiny bulp) that it can cover a distance further then one meter or more.
Actualy I don't know what the maximum distance is with the flash on hox but everything after this distance will be dark because the light stops in a couple of milliseconds.
If the object isn't moving you don't need a flash, only a slower shutter or larger diafragma to catch the subject in low light condition.
It would be cool if HTC would make a socket for external flash in any futher device. :laugh:
If i'm not mistaken from what HTC said this is the first smartphones implemented with smart flash. The auto-flash's brightness is auto-adjustable accordingly on the object distances and enviroment brightness. They only mentions this on MVC, but not on ads. Wondering why, maybe could lead to IP issues.
Please note that I am not commenting on the photos quality, just telling what I know.. Pretty interesting features, you may try it yourself..
That the white balance is off is very logical.
Or did u change the balance before taking the shot..

Yea your right but some people make use of that, like sometimes i might want to go out to my car at night to take a picture of a book or anything impartcular or when im out with my girlfriend in th dark and we take pictures together real close. I do understand however it does nothing for widespread shots.

The white balance is off because the camera misfired at the wrong time and captured the light at its weakest output.
Hello folks... Here is my review of BlitzWolf VR headset (Model BW-VR1). It is an absolute amazing product under USD $25

Usually all VR headset uses Gyroscope sensor compatible devices and you can operate device through an app (many apps available).
Bluetooth remote makes your VR experience more convenient as it can handle gaming, 360* views and full control over your smartphone.

Nice! considering to get one. Hope it can work with tablet too.
Even in the small hours of the morning when the world is asleep, our cities are constantly illuminated. To the naked eye, neon-lit buildings and streets may appear drab and indistinct, but when captured through the lens of the Huawei Maimang 5, the lights and action of the city come to life in vibrant color.
Worn down by the bustling pace of city life, we often forget to appreciate our surroundings. Every time we walk past an empty street or towering skyscraper, we’re missing out. Next time you’re out and about after dark, try pausing for a moment to take in the beauty of the urban nightscape.

Low-light photography is one of the best tests of a camera’s optics. Equipped with nifty features such as optical image stabilization (OIS), the Maimang 5 comes into its own league in the evening, making it an ideal choice for night owls.
The Maimang 5’s star feature is its camera, which sports a large 16 MP Sony sensor. This is 20% more than the Maimang 4, giving rival handsets a run for their money. The back side-illuminated (BSI) sensor layout lets in more light to produce brighter, punchier night-time shots with richer detail. Moreover, the ultra-fast hybrid autofocus takes just 0.3s, while 3-axis OIS technology corrects hand shake to prevent blurring. Other improvements include a dual lens coating which lets in more light and curbs lens flare, ghosting and noise. The Maimang 5’s low-light feature set is crowned by a dual-tone LED flash, which casts a more natural light on subjects.
Below are some sample night shots of the Maimang 5 in action.
Even in low-light conditions, the camera picks up considerable detail.
The colors in this shot are vivid, without looking overexposed.
This photo has a mixture of light and dark areas, creating strong contrasts.
Compose arty shots by framing your subject against a dark backdrop.
honestly.. the camera of this phones sucks in low light..
Huawei is frikking darn good to publish a lot of bla bla bla about their phones and are very very good at posting A LOT of pictures about their camera and camera app
ITS NOT THAT GOOD....poor quality in low light with Nova plus...ive disabled the huawei photo app and using a better one from playstore !
instead of posting a lot of pics on facebook/gplus ect. and all other websites, why dont HUAWEI responds to our different problems explained here...
explanations on new firmware releases...why some things are not working since firmwares were released
why is huawei NOT responding to our emails/bug reports weve sent to the company ???

Stay tuned for more news and information.
So, anyoneknow what the little hole/dent is above the flash? Doesnt seem to serve any purpose, but guess its there for a reason. At first i thought it was a chip in the glass, but then searched and saw they all have them.
Maybe it is the zoom microphone for video? That is what I think.
I just checked the official hardware diagram, and it's not explained there. The one you refer to (above the flash) is not part of the diagram at all, I just checked my phone and I also got a small hole above the flash, even though there is no indication about it on the diagram. There are also 2 little holes clearly visible above/between the wide and ultrawide cams that are also not explained.
Mh. Might be a rear microphone, as Markus_G assumes, but we don't know for sure.
Since it's the only part of the rear camera module that has an actual hole (cutout in the glass), it's probably relatively safe to assume that it's a microphone.

It is known for certainty that the P6 Pro has a secondary, ambient light sensor inside the rear camera module (plus one at the front next to the selfie cam). But we don't know for sure which hole is which.
I just checked the previous hardware diagrams, and in some of them Google added a couple of informations retroactively.
I highlighted the interesting part.
This is just odd. I checked my old P4 and there is the same cutout next to the flash that you referred to above the P6 flash. BUT that cutout is not mentioned - not even shown, it doesn't exist - on the P6 diagram. I can only assume that the P6 Pro diagram is wrong/does not represent the final product that was launched. It seems that Google needs to update it's diagram, since it refers to - probably - a pre-production model/state.
ah it is indeed a mic....
Not on the hole, but the flash emits a tiny bit of light at all times. You can see it in darkness after your eyes have adapted to it.

Only if its been activated recently. Takes a little while but it does indeed go completely dim.
That explains, I use the torch a lot before going to sleep to avoid waking anybody up.
Its one of the noise cancelling mic's isn't it?

Possibly under some contexts, but likely used for taking audio with videos.
