Hello, i have installed camera mod cyber shot and anyway when i use my video camera in my house (warm light) i see lot of noise. but when i use my video cam in the street (lightday) works 100% without noise.
i THINK (im not secure) That started when i upgraded my version of xperia ion 6.1.c.1.105 to 6.1.c.1.111.
Then i wanna know if any1 of u have a xperia ion and tell me if u have the same problem that me.

Its because when your inside the camera will bump up the ISO to compensate for low light. Which will bring in more noise. Outside theres plenty of light so the ISO will stay low (less noise)
However, in the end, I don't care what mod you install, the noise performance on this phone is bad! And you can blame Sony for shoving 12mp in such a small sensor. Its ridiculous, and not needed!

You can use 9mp all you want, it doesn't change the fact that they stuck 12mp into that sensor.
I'd at least recommend using the full 12mp and cropping after.

since i love to take images using X. Arc .... i noticed that images taken with flash tend to be "yellowish" means the colors aren't represented well !!
one thing else... do u feel that the camera algortihm tends to sharpen the photos in the post processing step, this can be seen in photos taken in a sunny day with zomm in ?
post ur impressions and ur thoughts
one thing I noticed is that when using it with flash the pictures become over-exposed especially in the Auto Mode.
I think the image quality is pretty poor. The Mrs had an LG Renoir and the images look better to me.
The Arc is better than my old HTC HD Blackstone, but a $65 camera (Samsung) has better quality.
Yellowish skin, over saturated blues and reds... just poor.
I have only one thing to say, EXMOR R sucks! it is a marketing trick and nothing more!

I noticed that sometimes, not allways, but its not a sign of a bad camera in the Arc!
Many cameras, also most expensive, have this "yellow-problem" by indoor photos, what is caused by artifical light sources like neon lamps etc and the automatic settings for white balance, as I found out via google.

I tested it, my Arc with Exmor R vs other phone cameras and there is a much better result in quality overall with it.
No marketing trick at all, but perhaps a wrong imagination of some people how it works!

Hello, i bought a new Arc S. I found, that camera produces really low quality pictures. Is there any way to improve compression? I heard, that CM has a improved quality camera.
Thank you
Hello there
Unfortunately, there is currently no option available to improve the crappy quality of the camera output (compression).
Neither CM7 nor MIUI have any significant improvement in this area.
Are you sure you bought an arc because my arc takes good pics but it isn't an arc s but I find this hard to believe maybe your only taking pictures in the dark ?
Check your settings. Some phones have the camera set to poor quality from start.

I've bought an Xperia Arc S too about a month ago, but in my opinion the camera is fantastic! Maybe you have to set the camera in high quality. My camera was also standard at 2 MP 16:9. Now I'm using 6 MP 16:9 and the pictures are great, even in the dark.

Which other settings could I check?

I'd recommend 6 MP, because it has a 16:9 instead of a 4:3 format.
Mine works awesome with 8MP...
Could you post a pic made by your cam?
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I would also recommend you post the picture you have taken, x10 and arc are best known as their 8M camera, they should be able to take impressive picture compared to all the phone available back then and even able to compete among all phones on the market to date

I don't understand people who say Arc camera is crappy.
It's the best I've ever used in a mobile phone to date.
It can't be compared to my compact camera but it's a phone after all
and the results are more than decent for quick shots.
I don't say my arc is perfect but It's not really that bad in taking picture .
I'm ok with it ...
Using 6MP 16:9,
maybe Your lens is dirty ! clean it if it's needed.
arc is one of the best camera phones out there.if not the best.
Best camera 2011/2012, it won that price

The camera is great - no 2 opinions about that.
But after I downgraded from .62 to .42 with data&system wipe, because of the root, my phone started to take really low quality pics in low light - identical conditions, the same camera settings, but now pics appear with a great level of noise, nomatter how I adjust the settings. On videos also. This is my second time downgrading from 62, the first time without wipe - everything was OK, but now I think smthing must have gone wrong - lots of noise and heavy purple dots...
Any ideas how to fix that, cause I really miss the good low light pics - one of the reasons I bought it.

Maybe some users are expecting a miracle out of arc's camera (e.g. comparing the pictures against DSLRs' large sensor and lens)
Its great for casual shots and videos imo.
It even won an EISA award.
The camera is great, the software is horrible. MIUI and CM7 support to change the jpg compression, which the stock ROM doesn't. The jpg compression sadly ****s up everything and destroys the overall quality of the shots.
I find the quality of the arc's shots to be great, I don't understand why so many people complain. Yes the output file is pretty small for an 8MP resolution photo because its been compressed to ****, but I don't really notice this, even when plugging into my 42" TV it still looks great (until you start to zoom in) Take a range of shots, when shooting in darkness you will find a decent amount of noise but this is just the Exmor-r working wonders - without it, you'd find you'd just have a very dark picture.
Like many people already said, I'm totally happy with the picture's quality of my ARC, especially on 6MP 16:9. I love the colors, the tones, the clarity.. I'm sure that Sony (still SE for me ) will improve a little about JPEG compression in next ICS release..

Exactly. Only my old Nokia N95 comes close, but that also was a little sony carl zeiss optic if i recall correctly.
Arc S camera is crappy.
I know it, because i used a Samsung mobile for a long time before Arc S, to take more than 4K pcs photos, so i can compare them.
It makes a lot of color noise under low light conditions of scenes.
Even a bit better when the light is enough, but then it makes white burned photos
The objective is distorted (fish eye aka barell), and also makes color noises in its corners.
The video record of this mobile is blurred, shaked, in low light condition makes color noises too.
You have to use Noiseware, or similar software to remove unwanted color noises from photos which are dotted by Xperia Arc /s
I don't know what is the meaning of the Exmore r, because i can't find a reason, maybe it' s only a commercial thingy
Sorry for my bad english.
are there any difference in the camera quality after the 4.2.2 update? imo, the superior auto mode is better after the update. not too sure about normal/burst shots.
Yes, Auto+ mode is now quite the same as the ohter modes...
Made some pictures with .423 FW on ZL.
Auto+ mode:
Normal mode:
For me Auto+ is a bit over-saturated, normal a bit too dull on colours. I get same results on bad light conditions. Both modes have now equal detail quality. Sony definitely improved Auto+ mode... That's a good news...
actually its much clear on 4.2.2 when u zoom on a picture details are much better. but in low light it needs to be improve more.
I guess on low light conditions the sensor is just too small for too much megapixel to procude good pictures. And no FW will solve this...
Can any of you guys upload a camera.apk or a camera.zip so I could fix my camera app? I installed the Cyber Shot mod and now my camera app is broken. Any help would be much appreciated.

Actually its a FW issue, just because on normal mode take better pictures at night that in night mode. so its like a bug we just hope a new update fix all this, also the max resolution suppoerted with this 4.2.2 is 12 MP and not 13MP...

Hi,
after upgrading to version 4.2.2, everything is red appears blue, what blue appears green, yellow appears pink.
can anyone help with I can fix it.
I'm on 4.2.2 and comparing to my Xperia T..my ZL is producing less detail in low light then my T...is T much better then ZL in camera performance...both shots in auto mode..
Is it just me or do others think the quality of camera (both front and back) pics are not as good as the specs says ? Im not really much of a camera specialist, but do others who have used 8Mp and 5MP camera think it works good enough ? Can Firmware changes improve it ?
I have compared with a 5MP Sony Ericsson camera and don't notice really different from the 8MP of p6. Also checked the 2MP front camera of a Samsung tablet and don't notice the 5MP fromt camera of P6 any different.
Or maybe i have to upload them on PC to notice the difference.

But i doubt they would market something as 5MP without the hardware And if the hardware is there then maybe the software changes could better the performance. I have seen other mobiles who had crappy camera quality and their firmwares were updated to fix that.
Edit: I guess this might explain it : http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Everything-You-Need-to-Know-About-Megapixels/647/4
Work fine on mine
No big problem on my P6. The camera do need some light thou and I use the Camera JB+ app which is easer than the stock app.
Remember to let the focus work for a few extra seconds. Sometime it needs two adjustments before picture gets perfect.
Good luck!

yeah yeah the main is software.. the opticals are pretty much same in every device it depends of software created ..
I have china version and both camera is acceptable for me .. front camera is nice in skype..
I compared with Sony Ultra Z (8MP back camera and 2 Mp front Camera), it was nearly same in quality, but P6 seemed slightly better.. The front camera of P6 was also slightly but noticeably better although i expected it to be much better.
But my initial complains i guess is cause of the low light. All pics i took were indoors mostly. The ultra z also got review complains of a weak camera in low light. So in any case i would have to yet compare with other phones that boast of great camera to see whether the P6 performs as good enough as the specs say..

I have HTC One and camera is just brillint and if u require for low light this is the phone for you ..
And I have iphone 5 and obviousy there is 8 back and front 1,2 and actually for iphone they released Skype HD .. cheeky buggers.. I emailed skype like WtF? and where is android version?? they didnt reply .. and i ve tested it o ip and it looks very nice .. so it depends even for network .. u can have front camera like 12 mpx but it wont help u bcos through these apps they throttling video stream on purpose ..
How do you get the focusing right ? I have noticed that once i hit the part of the screen i want to focus, it automatically adjusts. Fine. Now, during the process of automatic focusing where it focus back and forth, the picture gets quite clear for less that a second, but by the end of the focusing the pic gets grainy. So the picture taken at the end of focusing remains that grainy quality while if i was to quickly take pic in between focusing during the millisecond of clear time, i get the pic way more clear.
Im trying pics in indoors under a bright enough fluorescent light.
Edit: Okay i think i get it. Whenever the object i want to take pic seems grainy on screen, i hit the focus again and again until it gets clear. A couple of times is enough but i do notice that at first touch of focus the pic don't necessarily come clear and have to hit it once or twice more to get it clear.
Just got myself an Xperia T2 ultra lte single sim. Noticed that upon switching the front camera, it's very grainy. Updated to kitkat4.4.2 and it's till the same. Read some comments is GSMarena that mentions the same. Anyone has the same issue?

Better head to sony support forum and post about it to..
So they'll hurry the update
Also the battery life is descreasing a bit and the rear camera also becomes grainy after 4.4.2 too
Pretty dissapointing

I think the problem is that sony camera app uses always a too high ISO value.
Higher ISO means less shooting time (good in darkness or with fast objects) but significantly increase the noise.
There are a few camera apps good to fix that with manual iso settings.
Also you may set jpeg quality to 100%. Some camera apps also allow that setting.
Sent from my D5322 using XDA Free mobile app
yup man
same with me
4.4.3 improved a bit but not big difference so better post that one at sony forum to so they'll fix it at 4.4.4 maybe or additional update
So it is a software problem or the quality of the camera itself?
Anyway, both 13MP rear camera and 1.1MP front facing camera result using camera or camera360 apps is bad and very difficult to create the good one, especially in the low light situation. Anyone can give any suggestion how to make it at least better?
Thx
