How to set photo resolution on Xperia M - Sony Xperia M

Hi everyone
I bought Xperia M dual C2005 with android 4.3. I don't have the option for changing photo resolution in Camera and the photos are low quality (about 650 Kb per photo). Is there any way to change photo resolution?

Manual or Auto mode? You can do it only in manual mode by pressing on lower icon for settings and on top you have the option to choose resolution

I tried everything, but I can't find anywhere option for changing photo resolution and quality. Can you post a printscreen of your phone (if you have Xperia M)?

Here, see at top of picture options

Thanks a lot for your help.
I don't know how, but at first I couldn't find those options (and the one for switching to manual also). And after some time when I started camera application there were all those options, they came out of nowhere. I thought it was some software fault.

Even I set my resolution to 5MP photos are still low quality. Is camera on C2005 bad, or it can be some software problem? Photos on my Xperia mini ST15i are much better, and it also has 5MP camera.

i don't have any problem with my camera, maybe you can try another camera app or if you know about dcrc, you can try this

Obviously my camera has some problems, or it's something wrong with camera application. I tried with other apps and photos are slightly better, but still not as they should be. Thanks for your help.

[Q] ARC camera resolution

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson Arc and the images taken by its camera look pretty good on the phone it self, but wen it comes to downloading them on PC the results are quite unexpected. the image resolution is poor 400xXXX pixels or less and size is about 600kb (same shown in astro file explorer) although its taken on 8mpx settings and same with using HDR camera. I use universal android suit (i dont know maybe i need original sofware?) The question is how do I fix that Resolution problem? what settings and where? pls help

i don't believe hdr camera supports full resolution even if it claims it. Take a picture with the stock camera and check the resolution on that. What's universal Android suit?

HDR camera does support full resolution, I have taking several pictures with both SE camera app, HDR camera and Vignette all at 8MP and compared them with 100-200% magnification, the resolution on each is exactly the same, there is absolute no difference in the details recorded.
HDR camera does after combining three pictures increase color saturation and contrast for the whole picture and fine details. This makes the pictures look like they have more details but up close it is easy to see the same amount of details and same pixel sizes.
I have decided to uninstall Vignette as it add some very weird "pixel curtain" all over the pictures which initially gives it a larger file size as it add additional pixels which is not supposed to be there. This could give the wrong impression that it contains more details which is not the case.

Xperia Arc LT15i Photography Setup.

As I'm big photography fan, I use my Xperia Arc to take photos. Photos are very live and colors are very vivid, but I have some problems with camera, I have focus problems while taking video, when I press cam button it wont focus that minute it needs some time, about 10 secs to re-focus, as for Auto focus as for Face Detection in any scene mode. In additon I'm looking for BURST mode, because I managed to take photos of lightnings with my C905 and this phone has very slow camera, I'd ask to improve the driver somehow. And anyone would edit camera driver so we could change the iso and other options it would be great. Please suggest anything , maybe application or something. Thanks in advance.!
You may use this app, it's just like BestPic..
Pick Pic Camera
Arc or any android phone doesn't have camdrivers like that of C905.. If manual controls were possible, we would have seen it by now.
Check out this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro . It's paid, but you can adjust ISO, custom exposure, save in PNG and some more. Don't know if some options work, but I tried it with longer exposure (10 secs, under very bad light) and while I got a black photo with stock camera, this got me something a bit better. But there is a lot of color loss with custom exposure (the pics turn out pinkish on the places where there's light).

Which application did you use eventually and you are able to take better looking photos?
I use Camera360 Ultimate - quite often, it takes full resolution photo, not HD or Full HD that's one of the reasons I use it.
you can also use lgcamera (not LG related). there is a thread in the app section
^^ +1 to that! Though I use it mainly for some custom video bitrate settings

[Q] Camera problems

Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.
Photo taken with stock camera app: 8mpx: http://oi45.tinypic.com/n2odar.jpg
Photo taken with Camera Zoom FX, 8mpx: http://oi48.tinypic.com/i5ver8.jpg
HOX stock: http://oi49.tinypic.com/21dizcx.jpg
Camera Zoom FX: http://oi48.tinypic.com/315cvg0.jpg
What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?
Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.
Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.
harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

[Q] How to improve Sony Z1 Compact camera?

The photos that I take with my Sony Z1 Compact are consistently worst than those taken with my Moto X and Galaxy SIII. There is usually too much noise, too much post processing, too few details and even some strange things as objects that form diagonal lines become pixelated.
I've tried to use other apps like Camera 5 Fv and Google Camera, but the results are still bad.
My phone is using uprooted stock rom, kit Kat.
Is there a way to improve it's camera? Will installing the ported Z2 camera do any difference?
I find that the original gallery sucks, makes pictures look worst than they are. I'm using QuickPic now. Showcases the pictures in all its full glory. Give it a shot?

Unfortunately, KK meant that QuickPic can't delete photos from the SD card, so I have quite reluctantly removed it... Sticking with the original gallery for now.
I've been very impressed with the Z1 Compact camera. I think you just need the right settings.
I take pictures on:
Manual Mode
8MP
White Balance auto
Exposure value 0
Single autofocus
ISO auto
Metering centre
Image stabiliser off.
This give me less detail but very little noise as well.
Just fiddle with the manual settings. I find the auto one very bad. Besides i prefer the 20.7mp to 8mp hdr. it may seem to have more noise but overall quality is much better.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto E4 Plus 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!

Yes Indian version.
Actual images are even better, however this phone is poor in capturing photos in low light. That can be improved

I'm not a big user of phone cameras. I never use any settings. I just open it, take a picture, and move on. If I can take a picture of what I want, and tell what it is later, and be able to enjoy looking at it, I'm happy. This camera does it's job well. No complaints.
I'm ugly, but I took this with the e4 on lineage.

Hi,
I have same problem with poor quality pictures and discovered and installed a new app from PlayStore. It is about FreeDCam and for me it makes a huge difference when taking pictures.
Also may be opened with double click on Power button.
Wish you all best.
Hi. I have this phone. It is from a family member. I've updated it to version 113. I've rooted it. all good. but in the rear camera, the maximum resolution is 5mpx. and in the front chamber, the maximum resolution: 13mpx.
that is, the reverse of what it should be. and in addition, the photos with the rear camera are out of focus.
I will try to go back to the rom stock, because before rooting and unlocking bootloader, it was fine.
