I just recently bought Xperia T2 ultra and after buying and charging it I updated to Kitkat 4.4.2
just realized something about the camera after the update, it get more noise than usual
is it hardware related or it's software problem which can be solved at kitkat 4.4.4 update later ?
Just asking, cause this phone is not that cheap for me
Any answer would be really appreciated
Thank you
Its a software i think...because when i added some tweaks,it becomes great... take a look at the picture and give review about it...
Still same Shi......t

Nice tweaks., when zoomed the noise/ grain not seen anymore
Must be the software issue then, hope they fixed it later
Cause it's a big let down compared to what they offered.

yeah,when zooming still have some noise...but i dont really care because i didnt use zoom option so frequently..
No matter which app you use, the results are same, can see plenty of misssing pixels when zoomed in, thats because the Exymor RS sensor in our phone has a poor quality.
The picture quality depends mainly on the quality of the sensor and not the amount of megapixels of the camera or the app used to take pics.
Ive seen better photos in micromax smartphone cameras, like Canvas HD and Canvas 4, they were crystal clear when zoomed in. Its sad that Sony, inspite being such a reptuted company, uses sub standard sensors and cheats its consumers.

You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2724128 its for the build prop changes...
The x-reality can be found in the cross device development,but don't use the one ported from Z1 because many users complain about it..and i have tried that once..
No,i don't use any module for improving the image quality...
Just bought it last week and realized that when taking photos there is time for the autofocus and then taking the picture.
So if you want to take a picture of a moving object then you will probably fail
Anything we can do to make it faster? Any camera app that can do better than this?
Really appreciate any help / suggestion

We don't really know about the shutter speed.
but I tried to ask the sony internal that to improve the shutter speed better change the focus mode to other like "touch focus" or "object tracking"
an update may improve it but it's hard they said
just experiment with the setting
ISO at 800 give faster shutter but more noise though

Hello!
Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod on my G4 H815 and just before the phone rebooted, I realized that I won't have the mega-awesome Camera app from LG. So does anyone know if there is any apk or any way to get it? To mention, I didn't backup my device because... because.
Thank you!
Probably won't work even if you get the apk, since most OEM specific apps need OEM specific framework to run. I think the only way to have it working on CM would be to port it. But why would you want that anyway? The image quality won't really change. It's not that much dependant on the app but rather the drivers running the camera.

It's not necessary the image quality, but the flexibility you have with that app (manual focus, iso, exposure time, etc.). I hope there is a way to use that app. While I was searching for it I found that there is the G4 Camera app ported for G3, so I am thinking that there could be the original app somewhere..
Thanks!
It's not possible right now. There have been efforts to port it, but nothing has come out of it yet. There are however other apps that are pretty good. And the CM stock camera app only misses the HDR and Manual settings. The quality otherwise is similar

there are 3rd party apps that should work for manual setting but your max shutter won't exceed 0.7s. This is the already the case with the stock firmware and 3rd party camera apps.
There is something called night shot which the G4 resorts to very often especially with the front camera. that will be gone. Selfies ain't going to be as good. it's also used for the rear in lower light. Though a longer exposure will produce better images. night shot is a convenience when you don't want to set up on a tripod.
The quality otherwise is similar

How can you tell ?
it requires a side by side in full resolution with 2 G4's one with stock & CM under varying lighting. Lots of comparisons like that.
How good is the Cm camera in auto ? that's one of the strengths of the stock G4 camera.
Does the Cm camera make use of the colour sensor at all.
Except for the 30s exposure there is nothing special about that app, just use Proshot and you will be far better, cancel noise reduction make dngs and you have better shots

I can tell because I have seen photos from both cameras (on the computer). And if you really need 2 separate G4s under the same conditions side by side to tell the difference then there is not much difference. It's the audio bitrate debate all over again.
I am not saying it's as good as with stock but similar in most situations. I miss the HDR feature because it helps in low light situations.

Can you post links to examples of photos taken with cm camera ?
saw a few in the g4 community but the max resolution was just 2.4MP, need to be full resolution.
The low light shots on auto were crap. The G4 is a low light shooter in stock auto.
And if you really need 2 separate G4s under the same conditions side by side to tell the difference then there is not much difference. It's the audio bitrate debate all over again.

heh, anything from 0.5s UP TO 30s isn't possible.
I would be very sceptical about replacing stock with cm camera until i see plenty of examples with cm.
Also bear in mind that vendors keep a very tight lock on their cameras and don't share much with 3rd parties. yeah you can use a 3rd party app in some circumstances but you can never replace the stock camera in all situations. This stock cmaera that can challenge the likes of smasung and is touted as a major selling point of the G4. Yeah, i say its pretty special.
Which is a requirement to any one considering the CM path.
What i'm reading here is if you want CM then you don't care too much about the camera to begin with. That would not surprise me as people that are good with roms don't tend to be very good with camera and vice versa. it's rare to find both those skill sets in people.
I've been used Sony SW2 for one and a half year and want to upgrade to SW3 because probably Sony won't update SW2 for supporting Android 6.0(currently upgraded to Z5c).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.extras.liveware.extension.camera
Can someone help me to test the SmartCamera Extension actually works on SW3(both photo and video)? It is a remote shutter app from Sony to control your phone rear camera though the description said only SW2 being supported but there are a couple of reports that it also works with SW3 since the last update.
It works
I just tested it. It works very well.

PixtoCam looks promising too but is that the photo/video quality same as stock camera?
The fps on the wear screen isn't the best but it works fine, the picture is taken with stock camera anyway so picture/video quality is perfect
This is the quality of the screen shot from the smart watch.
Works great on my sony smartwatch 3 in combination with my samsung galaxy s6 mobile. Thanx for the tip!

Speaking to the liveview speed which one is faster? SmartCamera Extension or PixtoCam? You can also give SmartCamera Extension a try, it's free from Sony.
Seems pixto has a better fps, plus the extra buttons. Winner for sure

I want to ask it again. I've read some comments that PixtoCam takes great photo quality but video quality isn't as good as stock. Is it true?
6.0 will out on 7th March on our Z5/Z5c, still two weeks to wait.....
Pixto on my 6p is terrible. It starts lagging behind and getting slower and slower. After 20 seconds the display is about a minute behind.
I use Pixtocam too and is great... You can set a dalay of 2 second in case you use the watch to do a selfie to avoid to take a photo with the finger on watch
Hi, I've been using the H8pro for quite few days now. I bought the phone for its camera capability. Though it takes excellent photos in regular conditions, I'm depressed to see the results in low light which equals the quality of a 3mp Nokia's cameras of yesteryear's. Any advice on how to use camera in low light. My Nikon d300s is too heavy to carry around hence this was a easy substitute but leave aside the low light capability

More than the low light, I feel they should improve the daylight performance of the camera.
In daylight, the dynamic range and color balance is great but I feel the images aren't as sharpened as I would like them to be.

That's personal opinion and it will differ.
But there can never be a situation where one can't improve something and so I feel they can improve the camera through software a bit more.

This is correct.
The secondary camera is relatively useless, unfortunately.
Hence they changed the way it functions on the OP6.

OP5? Or OP5T.. ? OP5 have Telephoto lense in secondary camera... Thats working as it is.
Or if u mean OP5T then second lense is using for Potrait Depth sense. Sometimes helps for low light photos.

I couldn't get you link to work, shame. Yes, the camera did get a bad review, but given the technology packed into the phone, I think it should do better than it does. I did a side by side comparison to the Z3 compact and for quite a few of the pictures the Z3 won. I think it was a mistake to put such a wide angle lense on the phone. Yes, it was a good for vistas and views, but the sensor chip struggles with close up work. The camera was useless until Sony released a 'fix' for it. I don't understand how a phone go through the manufacturing process without anyone testing the lense/sensor combination. It's better than it was, now the fix is in place, but it's not the best camera Sony have made.
Manual mode every time, take the iso and shutter speed out of auto and get the shutter down as slow as possible. If you can find the time to put the phone on a tripod, the difference is amazing.

I also had a z1 and z3, and they were good (z1 with some Sony' camera mod was the best!). And yes, in night mode z3 it's better than our new xz1 (but it's at will be covered maybe with patches or mods, maybe in future, because our sensor can take picture with iso lower than it can use now in stock camera app)

Wow, SUPER impressed with your low light results while in manual mode. I tried recreating those results in low light conditions myself, but couldn't find the right settings to see that big of a difference. Would you mind sharing the settings you used to achieve that? Thanks!
I see on 4pda people are advising to use SnapCamera. I wonder what is the difference between stock, Snapcamera, and Gcam (if available)?
