Low Light Photos - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I was thinking of getting a oneplus 3 but I'm finding mixed results about the quality of photos it takes in low light conditions i.e taking photos when in the pub ,
I'm currently using an SG3 and happy with the low light photos , has anyone moved on to a oneplus 3 from an SG3 and can give me some advice on how they compare

I had a note 2 (same generation as S3) and camera is much better on OP3, whether it is low light or good light. You might also like the HQ mode for low light situations

[Q] Poor image quality (under low light)

My HOX takes low quality pictures on low light conditions. Under the sunlight there is no problem but when i take photos at night and under folerscent it takes sephia and wrong colors. I try 2 diferrent custom rom but all the same. it shows normal on screen but i think it happens when processing..
Is it worse than a normal cameraphone? And have you tried adjusting the white-balance for your indoor lighting?
The small aperture on camera-phones reduces the quality of low-light photography; you may just be experiencing this unfortunately! Adjust white balance, experiment with ISO options, and activate the flash for the best result.
If you wish, post a sample photo here so we can see whether it is abnormally poor.
There are many threads about this.
Try increasing exposure time, but you'll need steady hands.
Go to Camera scene > Low light ?? O.O
I have this issue, I've learned to live with it because to be fair I don't take many photos indoor in low light.

That's pretty normal... You can't expect a reflex photo

[Q] Camera - Grainy Photos

I had a Note 1 for over a year and couldn't be happier with that camera but the camera on my Note 2 seems to be hit or miss (mostly miss).
I'm running Omega ROM 11. I don't recall if the camera had a problem on the factory ROM since I installed Omega within a few days. However, I have noticed that pretty much ANY indoor photo with moderate light is grainy. When I view the full size on my PC it becomes even more evident. If I take an outdoor photo, it looks great. Likewise, if I use the flash indoors it's a 50/50 shot if it will be grainy or not. If it's not grainy, the light seems to cast a blue tint to the photo (think indoor fluorescent lighting). I experienced none of these issues on the Note 1.
I've attached a couple photos. They probably aren't the best examples but you can see the graininess of the non-flash vs the flash photo. I have some ones that are much worse but they are of me :laugh: I should add that the camera lens is clean and I am using the Camera app (no third party cameras).a
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any tips or suggestions on how I can improve this?
Lower the ISO.

automatic mode, flash off (to avoid any bleeding as described elsewhere), thumbnails are linked to the original files
Oh my these are amazing.
Did you have trouble focussing at all? I found that with my Nexus 5, the camera couldn't focus for **** in low light, and because of that, I had to snap multiples to get a good shot.
One last thing, how was audio recording on the camcorder? Just wondering if the bass is also crackly.
No problems with the focus, light was apparently bright enough.
And the video sound came out quite crackly as expected - smartphone mics are not designed for these peaks. And believe me, it was LOUD.

Amazing indeed, I have got to try some nighttime shots one of these days.
Nice shots. I'm really a bit worried about low light photos especially when the flash bleed issue was discovered. I know that smartphones were never really meant for low light photography (for now). Looks like a Z1 Compact will be a good back up during concerts when my zoom camera runs out of memory or battery - decent low light performance + good digital zoom.
My Nexus 4 is almost useless on night outs and concerts - occasions that I take pictures most and very seldom bother to bring a proper cam.

[Q] Lg G3 Low light Video test

Guys,
Just a quick q before I go and purchase this set. Is the G3 plauged with the same laggy low light video recording like the G2? That was the one thing that put me off the G2 big time coming from a Galaxy S4. I have been searching online to see a low light video test recording but I have been unable to find one. Everyone keeps talking about the camera, low light shots and laser focusing, but no one mentions how good or bad it is in low light video recording.
If you own one already, can you please shed some light? Or better yet, can you post a video somewhere? Something with a lot of moving subjects in very low light. This would really be useful to me. I know it does 4K too, but not entirely sure of how good that is either. A video of both would be great.
Furthermore, what is your take on this phone? How much better is it compared to the G2? I have had a G2 for 6 months now. The battery life is the best I have experienced but it gradually declines in strength or maybe its the amount of apps that I keep putting on it. I have done a full reset twice to fix the problem, but the battery is not as good as it was when I started using the phone. I wish there was an app that would give true usage of the battery, I dont trust the android battery app.
Anyways, lets focus on the most important questions, whats the video like in low light?
What I have heard the G3 is better in low light but still have the watercolor effect. The shutter speed is a bit lower than G2 some reviwer said. I'll think that low-light is an Achilles for most cameras with the same sensor, optics and pixel. This is what HTC wanted to fight with the 2um sensor and Apple with 1.5. Still it's more or less the same technology as before and the results should be in line with that. Better software and other ways of doing stuff like focus but the baseline sets the restriction.

The best part is it can all be edited and configured!
Will be ditching my S5 for the G3 ASAP! and I'm a heavy camera/video user.
I'd like to know the answer too..not just about low light, but in general, regarding the video.
Don't forget, we have a modded camera.apk now, thanks to Gishnu and Hendrickson.

It's low light 4K video of Hong Kong, hope this helps.
I'm curious about it too, and also if it can cope with very high volume recording, like videos of concerts and stuff...

That's better than any cell phone I've ever had!

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S11's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Pink supermoon, S20+, 30x, handheld.
Night shots are...adequate. No better than my Note 10, and nowhere near as good as Pixel or iPhone 11. Don't buy this phone expecting phenomenal low light capability. Daytime shots are excellent, though.
Nighttime shots have been superb for me. One of the best out there in dynamic range and exposure although it could be better with colour accuracy.
Night mode with ATCT is really crap

EDIT: Don't bother, it is still crap. WAY to go, Samsung!
Lol this phone has produced some of the best low light pictures from professional reviewers of any phone on the market. At worst it's about even with comparable phones. Anyone saying the camera is "way behind" others is just bad at taking pictures.

i totally agree with you
This night mode is a complete joke. I am coming from Hauwei P30 Pro and Pixel before that and Samsung before that. I take many star photos/night photos. Since I got the S20 Ultra I had to take manual photos at night because it does SUCH an awful job on auto/night mode. I got a year old GoPro 8 today and decided to compare them and it's really sad for a phone as expensive as the S20 Ultra

I tried to put them in the same position. The only difference is about 20 seconds to swap out the phones.
