Hi. Sony Z5 premium is being sold here in China, where I work, since beginning of this month. I already have Z3 for a year and I wonder if there's any game-changing upgrade to camera comparing to Z3?
I don't care 4k screen but I rather care camera quality. Z5P owners, would you share your idea with me please?
Actually, Z3 Camera is good except for extra white light everywhere when it detects my daughter's face and tries to brighten it. If by any way, I turn this face detection off, it shoots her face dark. That is, when it tries to brighten my daughter face, then everything else also goes very bright and white.
Z3 + Z5P user here.
i think u should turn on HDR of the camera (on Z3) instead.

annnnd the image quality upgrade from Z3 to Z5P is not huge for the back camera.
front camera is a big one as the resolution is upgraded from 2.0M to 5.0M.
Z5P's focusing is faster as they advertised.

I tried it, no success. The photos, when Z3 tries to lighten the environment, are full of white light.

Is there a way to make the camera better on this phone?
I find it has a huge issue with contrast.
If there is a lot of light in one area the picture is grainy and unusable.
I look forward to some help.

I have found that HDR smooths the exposure evenly across the image

I know maybe even a third party app can adjust contrast better
Thanks for the reply, I didn't think anyone was ever going to respond.
This phone really doesn't take the greatest pictures in medium to high contrast scenes.

I have found that artificial lighting takes the best shots.....if you know a thing or two about photography you might be able to balance the iso and exposer timings to get the best shots

Here are a few pics I have taken with and without HDR you can see the difference it makes
HDR ON:

Thanks. It seems that on my phone the sunlight in those pics would be really blown out.

Hmmm idk about that, from all the s3's both US and international I've seen just have a bad time with intense light as seen in my pics but HDR or manual exposure and Iso etc... Will fix it right up
I'll give it a shot. I've tried hdr and it was still awful. I'm due for an upgrade but I'm holding out for the S6. Lol.

Well the note 4 looks pretty amazing but I have no idea how the s6 is gunna turn out
i know this is obvious , but found it with my phone : make sure lens is clean.
err on the side of kindness

Wow, that is really well done! I'd prefer the green to be blues/purples, but still.. that's probably one of the cleanest and most functional faces I've seen yet.
Is it even real, or is it just a concept rendering?
You can find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ddroid.aw.watchface.mf02
I've bought another watch face from the same author and it's amazing!
Thanks for the link, I just bought it, lol... I think I've spent more on watch faces than I have on apps now.

Thank you also. Just bought it!!!
awesome watch face but definitely looks like your battery life is going to be drastically reduced by this face
Since my 360 seems to turn on whenever it feels like (minor hand/arm movement) this face is affecting the battery life a bit because it stays on longer than other faces. I've asked the developer if there's a way to change the delay to a shorter time, but haven't heard back yet.
I sure hope Motorola or Google clues in and gives us the option to turn off the auto-on feature. I'm not a lazy ****, it's easy to double-tap the screen or press the button if I want to turn on the display.
I have to wonder all these faces which are purchased, what is the lifespan of them. When newer screens with higher resolutions come out. Will we have to buy the watch faces all over again?

The developer has a number of watch faces for the 360 and the other watches. I have tried several of his but everyone has been a battery hog. Like mentioned they are extremely sensitive then stay on way to long. Also they will display the night mode for about a sec before going to the normally full color. This also seems to be big complaint then reading the reviews. There have been a couple of copies that have been posted over on facerepo of his but I have not seen this one.
Hi guys,
Quick question about taking photos with the G3. I can't get an OK (let alone nice) photo of a concert with it. The performer always is overexposed, and I didn't find a way around it. At first I thought that it was just the best a small phone camera could do in these conditions (even a good one) but then my friend just beside me took the same picture just after me with an iphone 4S and the pic was better. You could actually see the performer's face and some other details on him, not just a white overexposed silhouette. Am I missing something here ?
Here's an example of a pic I took last night :

Try xcam

As most of the photo seems to be a black area, it tries bring out stuff from there, that is why it "overexposes" the image. Did you try HDR mode?
XCam is good camera app, which allows you control the ISO values, and those may help you in situations like this.
Yes I tried HDR mode, and the result was the same. I was surprised that the stock app didn't offer more options to deal with this type of photo setting. I will try X Cam, thanks for the suggestion. Does it take advantage of the IR autofocus ?

Is this on the latest update
Really liking the macro, even though most people say it's lacking compared to the S21 Ultra.

Like this one a lot. A lot of odd colors in the image and it balanced it well (the green and magenta in the backdrop).
I'm quite impressed by a quickly taken nightshot (on a fast moving train, approx 80km/h). OxygenOS 11.2.2.2.
Ultra wide
I just got my phone yesterday and i'm now testing how well it performs. First impressions is that yes it can perform very well even in dim lit situations. As i always shoot RAW this one is shot as such using the Pro mode and then processed in Capture One Pro.
Pics are really looking great! Can't wait to get the device...
One more shot, this one from inside a local church. Shot in RAW and edited with Capture One Pro. There were so little noise i didn't even bother to remove it, just a bit of sharpening and keystoning to straighten the lines and then the usual adjustments with exposure, curves and shadows & highlights adjustments.

Would like to see some pictures of faces (with stock camera app). With my op7t, I was VERY disappointed with the pictures of my kids (with the OOS camera), very blurry and smudgy. Switched to GCAM and totally fine.

What setting you used? The hand artifact looks weird. I understand it is because of the movement (or a hand of a ghost of dead movie producer?), but how the hell it created this weird edge/highlight is beyond me.
