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...

[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.

[Q] camera is slow

Hello. When i take a photo the camera button remains inactive for about 3 seconds and this is in middle and low light conditions ( the photo goes in the internal storage) . I've noticed this yesterday but before no problems so is this only for me or I'm just going crazy!?!

Are you on stock or?

It looks like this. when the picture is made

Mine too is like this... Very frustrating as the camera speed is supposed to be better than most with laser.. I sent a video toblg support showing this and they said it is normal? Do you guys after. Outside it works great.. Indoors, in low ish light it is so so so slow!!

It would be nice if they fix it in lollipop ,but the probably won't.Even my old xperia arc s was faster when shooting pictures and when i unlock the lg it takes the homescreen about 1,5 seconds to boot and this was also not the case with the arc s so straaange

Dont know mate, but my G3 is fast in shooting in all conditions.

I have this problem. Using Cloudy 1.2 with stock kernel. After taking the picture, app frozes for 4-6 secs while it stores the picture (no external SD). It is very annoying. I also tried ren 1.8.5 kernel, but no improvement.

I've just bought a g3 off amazon and have noticed the slow camera too. in low light the camera can take 3 or 4 seconds to get focus and take the picture, which is much much slower than my old Sony Z2 and my wife's moto x.
I'm using rooted l.p. stock by skin1980 20a
Although I'm liking the phone in most respects, For me the camera lag is a deal breaker, if I can't take a quick picture of the kids the phone is no good to me and will be on its way back to amazon
Is it just my phone, could it be the Rom and if so is their a better Rom on terms of camera speed?

How to set photo resolution on 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] need help regarding htc desire 820 video camera

Hi
I need a favour
Can anyone pls check your camera of desire 820?
My problem is when I click pictures they are all good even I zoom it.
But when I try to zoom while video recording it gets pixelated
After about 25% zooming. This should not b happening.
It may get to digital zoom to optical zoom but it should not get pixelated.
This thing I checked with other samsung and sony phones. They are ok.
Thanks in advance.
