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.

Some camera tests
The quality isn't that bad. All at 3MP.

how come you guys get to have really good place to take pictures? lol...
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...

My Opinion? I'm really disappointed of the camera quality of this phone. In general.
My old Arc S (with stock ROM) takes better photos in the same condition of this z1c (with stock ROM). And I'm refer to the "same condition"...(rooted but not unlocked bootloader, stock ROM, same enviroment's light or dark, same subject).
I love Sony and their philosophy on mobile phones and camera sensor, but this bionz sensor (best mobile camera of 2014) isn't really best for me.
So, to answer your question, I didn't notice differences between stock lollipop 5.1.1 sony camera and this update 2.0.
Only better UI, that is great on usability of app. But, by my tests, no change on quality or shot speed.
I flash this update because the new UI it's better, and thanks very much to developers that make this port possible :good::good:.
At last, I will say something obvious, but the best camera quality of this phone was with Jelly Bean 4.3. Bad to say, but in my experience it is, clearly It's just my opinion

This porting have some problem with noise? The other portings of z5 camera in my xperia z2 (expecially in front camera) produce some noise in image.

Third Party Camera Apps for Z5C

The general consensus for this phone seems to be that it sports top-of-the-range photographic hardware but is sadly let down by poor software support and Sony's aggressive noise-reduction algorithms. As this is a software issue, it may be possible that enhanced image quality could be obtained using third party apps. So far I have noticed some differences between apps and thought we could maintain a list of some of the best here:
- Camera FV-5 Supports 23MP but seems a little unstable on the Z5C with FC issues on some camera features
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en_GB
- A Better Camera: 23MP support plus "DRO - Dynamic Range optimization"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam
- HTC Camera: 23 MP support
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co...-camera-new-8-10-748210-android-apk-download/
- ICS+ 1.7: full resolution supported
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&s...Ts4WT4m0RHMx-2a1Q&sig2=A-U3oWedOs0SxvoUmzIwHg
- Cyanogenmod camera: Third party supporting full resolution on Z5 Compact. Slightly buggy on our phones but shows that it can be done! *edit - not working on MM
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/cyanog...a-2-0-005-04864afef4-00-android-apk-download/
- Camera Super Pixel: Takes burst photos can combines them into higher than native resolutions composites. On the Z5C camera it can achieve 32MP rear camera and 20 MP front camera!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...9mp-camera-t3322562/post65509846#post65509846
Please post any apps you find with enhanced functionality over Xperia stock

Here is my test of the Super Pixel Camera - definite improvement over stock front camera, although still getting thrashed by Sony post-edits:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByO19bEKY9TKZ2tWSTY1SzV3M1k
(5MP Stock Xxperia camera on the right, 20MP Super Pixel Camera on the left)
Sorry about the horrible "selphy" photo but the difference was most noticeable on the rear camera!

looks good, but i cant install the app from the market.

The apk is attached in the Op of that thread.
BTW this app makes way better photos. But really only flattens the image, doesn't really get higher detail. I'll take it over my textured and fuzzy stock camera though!

Hi, I'm one of the developers of the app. New version is compatible with Sony Xperia Z5:
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anforapps.camerasuperpixel
Thanks for all the feedback!
What's new:
0.9.2
Fixed autofocus issue (better focused rear camera pics)
Compatible with OnePlus 2
Compatible with Sony Xperia Z5

Yeah same for me - sideloading the apk works fine but can't get it from the market on Z5C

Hi, thanks for testing. Not sure why it is not available on your devices, maybe some problem on Google Play.
I have attached is a screenshot of the Sony devices supported on my Google Play Developer Console, maybe some model is missing...

I'm sure it's something to do with the servers not updating yet. I see were checked off in the right spots for the compact! Thanks for the app BTW, it's nice!

Thanks for the info. Some users reported that "Camera Super Pixel" app does not start correctly after the Android 6.0 update on Sony Xperia Z5. We are working to find the problem as soon as possible.

Ah ok, thanks for the information

Balls, cheers for the heads up - I'll change the OP

I'm currently playing with open camera with API 2.0. So far it works but i haven't really compared to stock yet. I have noticed the camera button, the first press for focus causes a never ending focus loop... But tapping the screen works fine.

I had used "A Better Camera" with my previous phone for a while. It can perform "Dynamic Range Optimization" automatically after each photo is taken. The night mode is pretty good as well.
Ofcourse the issue is that Sony has not provided a FULL camera2 api implementation so you are limited. I sometimes still use ABC, when I'm taking a still, however it is quite slow compared to the native app with just starting and taking photos.

I use Cameringo+. I guess it was the best I've used with Z1 Compact and it kinda stayed with me. Truth is that the Z5 Compact camera is much much better. So I don't think I need live filters anymore.

So Is there way to remove the blocking of full camera resolution on z5c for 3th party apps?

Camera App that does 23 MP

For years now, 2010 maybe, since I moved onto Android with my HTC Desire S I have used a camera app called Camera ZOOM FX Premium by androidslide and I have been very happy with the options given in the app and my perceived improvements over the stock apps.
Now, Camera ZOOM FX Premium only allows me to select up to 8.3 MP whilst the stock Sony app gives me the option to select 23 MP. Now I've played around with the Sony app and find it lacking in the options department.
I've also contacted androidslide but they haven't responded in over a week.
Has anyone found a nice camera app that will do the Sony 23 MP and has more options available?
Thanks

Developper of camerasuper work on the app to support MM cz befor the update it worked.

Try this one, it doesn't FC and doesn't have dark videos issue.

In one plus camera app you have to manually set exposure to Max, on slow motion and regular videos to fix dark issue... But 5 seconds after you set it, the exposure goes back to dark I'd you don't keep pressing the screen (manual exposure setting).
