Hi, im a photo geek.
I like using my 4s as my point and shoot.
Uncle came from Europe with the S3. was impressed with the phone and day time photos. Noticed his led flash was to blue when shooting pics with flash. The 4s does better. Thought it was just his phone.
Got my hands on a US copy and its the same thing.
Anyone got any advice except to turn it off.
This phone shoots misleading shots.
Image is sharp when snapped. ( it looks good )
Then when viewing its all blurry shots.
Any camera mods that may help?
im rooted too.
Your in a league of your own bud. My LED isn't blue at all and my photos look fine when looking at them. But I would like to see some camera mods also the international version has lots of camera mods that really up the quality

I dont find the flash blue but I do agree the pictures are not the best indoors.
My OneX took amazing pictures once the saturation was adjusted. Or maybe it is just me and I take lousy shots.

I had a Note 1 for over a year and couldn't be happier with that camera but the camera on my Note 2 seems to be hit or miss (mostly miss).
I'm running Omega ROM 11. I don't recall if the camera had a problem on the factory ROM since I installed Omega within a few days. However, I have noticed that pretty much ANY indoor photo with moderate light is grainy. When I view the full size on my PC it becomes even more evident. If I take an outdoor photo, it looks great. Likewise, if I use the flash indoors it's a 50/50 shot if it will be grainy or not. If it's not grainy, the light seems to cast a blue tint to the photo (think indoor fluorescent lighting). I experienced none of these issues on the Note 1.
I've attached a couple photos. They probably aren't the best examples but you can see the graininess of the non-flash vs the flash photo. I have some ones that are much worse but they are of me :laugh: I should add that the camera lens is clean and I am using the Camera app (no third party cameras).a
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any tips or suggestions on how I can improve this?
Lower the ISO.

Hello,
I dont like the quality of the pictures I take although I have set the quality to superfine. The pictures I take look a bit dark and I think that a phone with 8mp camera can take better pictures. Also, the pictures I take at night are not so good. Are there any tweaks or mods I can flash or even settings?
Waiting for your answers!

I found this guide really helpful. It's for the SGS3, but is good for the SGN2 too.
You may try turning on the "Low Light" shooting mode. Drastically improves brightness in low light situations without the usual graininess/noise.

Hi,
I've just read an "ancient" Zenfone 2 camera review. When I look back to my own Zen, it have too much noises when I take pictures indoor. I remember in the first day with this phone on LP, i didn't experience this. Now it have much noise on stock MM, CM13 based roms and as well as AOSP roms.
I need some one explain to me
Thanks in advance
Extra: Below is 2 pic taken in Dirty Unicorn (MM) and Stock LP
MM pic is taken about 5PM while LP taken at 9PM. Of course MM pic will have more light but it distorted and not as clear as LP one. Taken in same room, same table, same object and angle
Update: The comparision in the attachment maybe incorrect. See post #9

I've noticed that too. I thought it was just my lens or something. But if you have it too......

It used to be a good cameraphone when it was running LP.
My friend's ZenFone Max after update to MM still take good pictures.
I attached below 2 pic taken by Zen Max and Zen 2 both run MM, as same place and same time (worse is Zen 2).
I downgrade my phone to LP and it has better battery life, better camera, better customization.
I added a pic taken by 5.0 in the OP for conparision
Turn on your flash, that will shoo them away.

At long distance where flash couldn't reach, LP still take better pics than MM. 2 pic in OP none of them was taken by flash
Yeah.
Pic 1:
There are too much noises when I captured my notebook's screen on Friday.
Pic 2:
I captured tasks written on school's whiteboard on Saturday, in a room with many windows opened.

The comparison is incorrect.
The first image averages in a very dark one. Camera tries to compensate this to 18% grey when calculating exposure. As a result you get overexposed image (look at yellow color in your first example).
On the second image there is a fair amount of bright areas (magazine) which averages in a lot of brighter image for exposure calculation algorythm. Here you get a more accurate exposure and as a result correct display of all colors of rubic's cube.
If you knew this before taking photos, you would use negative exposure compensation for the first shot (kind of a common sense for traditional film and dslr users like myself) and get slightly darker image with perfect colors of rubic's cube and darker background and, thus less noise.
hope this helps.
I know what you feel bros, same here in cm13. I didnt know this issue, until I replied on CM 13 thread complaining the camera's quality (beacause I thought it was the rom). Maybe it's the app pixel master itself dont get along well with mm?

I re-updated to MM only to prove this.
Here us the re-comparision. Same light condition. I took MM pics 15min after LP one
I added the description to the corner of the image
6P = MM AOSP with PixelMaster
6S = MM AOSP with stock camera (AOSP)
5 = stock LP with PixelMaster

Here, this is a much better comparison, but as I understand you use some third party AOSP MM ROM, right? There may be an issue with pixelmaster not working completly 100% as it should be working on stock MM. To prove this here is a picture I took yesterday with stock MM PixelMaster Camera. Noise is there of course as it was taken indoors but it seems stock rom pixelmaster involves some kind of postprocessing to reduce noise. Also I would suggest you to compare EXIF of your shots to see if ISO and exposure settings are the same. If they differ you can try shotting this test in manual mode with the same settings across ROMS.

I'm not a pro in photography so I don't know what is exif or exposure. But your cam's quality is perfect compared to mine. And yes, I'm using a custom ROM. May be I should downgrade to stock MM to see if it good or not. If it still bad, may be I should report this to ASUS.
Edit: I flashed custom-stock MM (RussiaNBear). The camera is as good as LP (only when take in manual mode, auto mode still bad)
The pic with date stamp is taken by AOSP M, the rest is taken by RussiaNBear.
Sorry one of the image is flipped
Stock ROM photos will ALWAYS be better then the one's taken in CM.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Sony Xperia XA2 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
ugly, very ugly
Extremely difficult to get a decently sharp picture while holding the device in your hands.
Expect blurry details at any resolution and in any shooting mode.
You'll be better off taking screenshots instead of real photos; before shooting, the preview looks really crisp and sharp. You might get better results with better postprocessing of the images, like with a different camera app (?) or with a non-Sony ROM. Not exactly sure what can be done here.

It's actually not that difficult, but you need to practice a little bit. I have already taken quite a lot of nice pics with my Xperia.
Only night photos are not so good, or rather... mixed bag. Different result each time.
And different camera app is not a solution, I've tried already a lot of them and it seems that none of them can work correctly (a lot of noise in the photos, even with good light) - looks like Sony has changed camera libraries somehow and third party apps don't know how to use them. So it's just stock camera and... well, that's it.
I've put already this information in other thread, but latest software upgrade (50.1.A.13.83) is a real gamechanger. Sony has really improved image processing. Impressive ! Now photos are much, much better. And the HDR mode in Manual camera section does really great job.

Yes, it's much better now (manual + HDR). Superior mode still not ok. But manual + HDR.
But for some reason update no available for my XA2 dual phone, installed via flashtool + XperiFirm
Is there a "touch to focus" function like the Google camera has? I think that's the feature I miss the most from my nexus. I actually don't know how to get the camera to focus at all!

Hello,
Camera Settings -> Metering -> Touch
or
Enable "Object tracking" then touch to thing what you want to shoot.
Focus mode is not good. unfortunately It's worse than my Mom's Phone which Xiaomi Redmi 6A is. video quality is ok but at low light it has insane noise.like ISO 3200. Selfie is ok but don't expect too much.
at low light with auto flash on , it can take a good image but you need to wait 2 or 3 sec.
Photo quality is the worst thing, it is so bad. Only in daylight picture is good, one of them, about in 10-15 shots
