Hi
I don't expect much from tablet camera but pictures taken with my n7 look pretty bad and weird. Even in decent light photos are very grading r with lots of noise. Is this normal? I couldn't find a thread for n7 photos, maybe my camera is defective?

It's normal, it's odd though that it saves screenshots in high quality PNG format but uses JPG compression for photo's.
I actually thought the pictures from my Nexus 7 are excellent (considering it's coming from a tablet). I have noticed that it doesn't do a great job in low light conditions. Here is one I took and it looks pretty good to me. You may wanna double check your settings.

Yeah but what setting I can change if there is not many in pre-installed camera app, I also tried some other apps available in play store but pictures are always the same. I must take a picture outside in very good light like yours and then compare it. I use HTC one which has only 4 mega pixel camera but pictures are much much better.
Btw, yours picture quality is very good, check this out on pc and see what difference is between mine and yours

Indoors that is pretty much par for the course. When there is bad/low lighting the camera is not very good.

Greetings everyone! I have to say I'm really loving this phone so far! But has anyone noticed that right after you take a picture it looks great while still in the camera app, but when you click on it and it opens in the gallery it looks really grainy/darker etc. Wonder why this is?

When the camera app is on the screen is at full brightness by when you switch to the gallery the screen dims back down hence the pictures looking darker

Also when you view it gallery you might need to give it a little longer to load. I've noticed that the pics look a little blurry/grainy when I first open the pic, but if I wait a few seconds it sharpens and looks good. The brightness can also play a big role.

or if you have Chainfire 3D installed it may change the textures
You know how everyone is complaining about the camera, mainly because photos come out blurry/not sharp. The thing causing that was VERY slight movement when clicking the button to take the pic. It seemed to come out of focus very easily.
Now, with 4.0.3, I can get sharp pictures even with more movement. It's not so "touchy" anymore and stays in focus.
Anyone else notice?

If this is true, then it's awesome.

I hope it's true. There's more than one camera bug.
Im surprised how well it focuses in low light with out flash.

You know they could offer a shooting mode that used the phones sensors to detect camera (phone) movement and hold off the shutter until motion is minimized to improve sharpness. You might want a mode that does this but other modes, like sports, that don't delay the shutter.

Good to hear, what about the white haze when near a window. Now, can anyone recommend a 4.0.3 ROM without any visual mods?

You can change the boot animation yourself. Here's a link to a 720p version of the default ICS animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380655&highlight=animation
EDIT: I've found the 720p version of the original Galaxy Nexus boot animation lags a bit, so if you're not happy with that one here's a link to a compilation of boot animations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364044&highlight=nexus+s+boot+animation
My personal favourite so far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764
wish google would add an option for the instant shutter or delayed snap after autofocus. 90% of the bad pictures are taken because the person did not either tap to focus or held down the camera button for it to focus
Same goes with panos, I wish they gave you an option for auto panning versus the snap then move, like sgs2 did
Switched to redemption a 4.0.3 ROM and now pics are a lot better. Very impressed.

Why has no one posted a photo yet? Show us some of that 4.0.3 camera goodness!
Does anyone know an app that will let you pull pics from video the way the HTC One X does? I'm not talking about taking stills while recording, but afterward when viewing.

I remember reading a review before I bought my S3 that said it had that same feature as the One X, I was sad to find it didn't exist on the phone. Would love to find something to do this.
Try frame grabber it cost money but works good

The stock camera well do this. Look above the record button for the vid cam, should be a slightly smaller camera button. That one will take pics while shooting video.

I don't beleive this is what the person is asking about. In a commercial for HTC, there is someone capturing still pictures from a video playback, not while actually recording.

Hi... Just bought xperia Ion (no LTE) and one of the main reason I selected it is for the camera resolution.... but with big surprise I'm just noticing that pictures are very bad... lot of noise!
Additionally the camera focus is extremely slow!.... Did anyone experience the same?... I'm on last official firmware. Maybe some mod is available.....
Any help is really appreciated....
Set ISO setting to 800

You can install Lovins mod. He port Xperia V camera with additional tweaks. I am using it on my SXS, focus and photo quality is much better than stock(.55)

Believe me....I had Xperia Arc and photos were much better...I also have Nokia N8 and pictures are just amazing! I like Xperia ION, but unless my camera has hw issues, the photos are simply very low level ones!...What is really disappointing me (along with the Jpeg noise) is the extremely slow focus during camera recording as well...also not available the touch focus!.....Anyway I m going to try the mod you suggested.....
Just quick updating: I installed the camera mod and did some tests. In outdoor light condition autofocus is very quick and pictures are great! Indoor light condition (morning not night), camera focus seems slightly more responsive if physical picture button is used, but autofocus becomes very slow and 30% of the pictures are out of focus. I will continue in playing with setting but I have doubt I could get good behavior in indoor condition!...Anyway, reading in the network, the very slow focus problem is well known issue! (((

This should be software problem
Sony is not good at modifying CameraUI:silly:
Sad but true, my ion cant take pictures as good as my n8. Auto modes dont help much either. I noticed that while taking a few videos on low light using yhe different modes, camera just wont focus when zooming in. I had to tweak some settings( set focus to infinite) to get the image to focus correctly( running xzxperience by the way). Tweaking the settings manually definitelt improves results though. I expected a bit more from sony? Guess I wont be selling my N8 any time soon.

The camera sucks when u take photos from places there are Yellow light, warm light for example in your house. this photos lose quality, but if u use the video cam from those places, u will notice lot of noise..
I have that problem , my cam works 100% in places there are lightday for example in the street, if u take a photo there, the pic will have a nice quality and if u use the videocam u wont see noise.
I think that this problem is software.. i have xperia ion ics version 6.1.c.1.111, but when i had the version 6.1.c.1.105 the camera worked much better

Where is Lovins mod?
Hey all,
I am sure am not the only one noticing this but what's with the image quality when it comes to different settings? I mean when flash is OFF verses auto/on the image quality in standard lighting is better rather it flashes or not. Also if you change the exposure to day time its a lot better. This to me seems a screwy. ?
What's your input / opinion?
