Timescpae picture problem

Hi all
I have been wanting to ask long ago, just wondering how come the picture shown in timesscpae are all blurred and pixelated even though you have a very sharp and crisp image or picture displayed normally on your contact page? Do we have a fix on this?

[Xperia S][CM10]What are the best camera settings?

Hi guys,
I'm using the CM10 ROM by the FreeXperia team on my Sony Xperia S, and I'm a bit disappointed about the quality of the pictures taken with the camera. Pics taken at night with flash, in particular, are always blurry and out of focus.
What are in your opinion the best settings to take decent pictures? How exactly do you focus before taking the pic?
Hopefully this can be a useful thread to share experiences so that we can all take better pics! :fingers-crossed:

I just use common sense. More exposure at night, flash only when I want it. And for the people with a bit more knowledge in this, install a third-party app (I myself use procapture) and control your ISO. That's probably why your photos are blurry, the aosp camera doesn't deal well with iso.
That's basically how I do pictures...

My cam settings are Canon 350D
no seriously this phone can't shoot so it's not worth to worry about settings

What focus mode do you guys use? The default is continuous, did you change it?

Within my third-party app, yes, I change it.
I only use the CM app for when I really need a quick shot (nature, family pics etc.), so the focus isn't always good, but I take like 10 pics every time so no worries
And FYI this phone is a great cameraphone. It's not a DSLR, but it does the job well enough to compete with a point-and-shoot (maybe even beat the low/midrange ones).
If you really want great pics, use stock Gingerbread. Fast and fluid, in my opinion better than the ICS and JB camera apps. Will post a screenie of my settings once I get to a PC so I can restore a backup...

I'm using Snap Camera HDR from Play Store and I'm really satisfied

Try flashing modded cybershot app via recovery ! It has superior auto function of Xperia Z and Xperia ZL.

And In case of normal mode i suggest you to use multi auto focus with suitable white balance and appropriate EV.

hi guys,
is it me, or does the camera really suck at taking pics in JB.
Coz i remember i took a pic of london eye at night from the otherside of the river when i got my xperia S and it was :good: but yesterday when i was in london again, tried doing the same, taking pic at night and it was always coming out blury no matter how stable i was, nearly ended up throwing it in the river.
So, any suggestions guys, also, do u guys think the cybershot app with hdr and superior auto really does produce good pics?

Post a photo here taken from camera

Hi guyz,
Sony has packed some awesome features and hardware in this mid-range phone.
Post cool photo taken from Xperia M camera.
And if you like someone's photo then give him thanks by pressing thanks button!

Ok, mayby features are rich like for phone of that class but camera is ****ty.
It's oversatureted with blue color, not only on build in display.
And Focus/Auto Focus is worst in this phone than with any other i have. And the video recording is horiible, zero, ZERO details, video is blurr.
If we talk about camera in low class then Yes, its good.
If we talk about it in any term then its

I'll post an example of the oversaturated blue. My ceiling is painted white not blue. Even the LED lights up blue when I view it.

heres my part ,5mp,light source from the room lighting and table lamp, did some color correction ,no cropping, used ProCapture app(by the way , I think this app really improved the handling of the autofocus,faster)

I've teste, hmmm... 12 camera apps. Camera Zoom FX is the best.
I noticed that uor camera dont lack quality, the focus ist the problem.

I agree, if a normal user who bought Xperia M and uses the stock camera app to take a picture, they are going to get a really bad picture... The AF isn't better until you use a third party camera app.I prefer ProCapture for that... But even then , low light picture are still bad..

Yeah, low light videos is a slideshow.
Im wondering, i have the same issue in Lg L9. On stock rom low light videos was excelent, on CM it was like in our XM. I hope that in our case its the software issue like in L9.

Just came back from the mountains...

How to set photo resolution on Xperia M

Hi everyone
I bought Xperia M dual C2005 with android 4.3. I don't have the option for changing photo resolution in Camera and the photos are low quality (about 650 Kb per photo). Is there any way to change photo resolution?

Manual or Auto mode? You can do it only in manual mode by pressing on lower icon for settings and on top you have the option to choose resolution

I tried everything, but I can't find anywhere option for changing photo resolution and quality. Can you post a printscreen of your phone (if you have Xperia M)?

Here, see at top of picture options

Thanks a lot for your help.
I don't know how, but at first I couldn't find those options (and the one for switching to manual also). And after some time when I started camera application there were all those options, they came out of nowhere. I thought it was some software fault.

Even I set my resolution to 5MP photos are still low quality. Is camera on C2005 bad, or it can be some software problem? Photos on my Xperia mini ST15i are much better, and it also has 5MP camera.

i don't have any problem with my camera, maybe you can try another camera app or if you know about dcrc, you can try this

Obviously my camera has some problems, or it's something wrong with camera application. I tried with other apps and photos are slightly better, but still not as they should be. Thanks for your help.

Camera 23 mp

I purchased z5p two weeks back. But i am very much worried about camera MP. In specification and sony default camera application shows 23MP. But when i install third party hardware info softwares or Camera softwares it only shows that z5p has only 8.3MP. I am very much worried about it. Any body let me know why it is like this or my phone has 8.3MP. Thanks in advance

it happen to me 2, even some app dont detect the SD810 as it, it says another name, also if u install 3rd party camera apps only can detect up to 8.3Mpx
