Like the other guy said...its just a smartphone. Its not a dslr. The camera on the arc takes excellent images, learn how to control it out of auto for absolute best results.

I dont think the xZL is a phone....
Also The Xperia Z if you read on the forums about the screen people have put the included screen protector on it, BUT the phone already comes with one built in causing screen issues...
Also I`m pretty sure if someone owned one they would be posting there thoughts on it
I will have mine tommrow So I`ll be posting a TON of stuff tommrow night

give me some samples, pls

My Xperia ZL thread

i saw it

camera problem
my sister uses xperia zl. its a very nice and compact phone. and the camera is good, but when too much light in the background you get a lot of white. i dont know whats the problem. because every review about the camera never mention that problem, maybe its just her phone, i dont know. other than that the phone is great. very descent, nice, compact, smooth...
oh, another problem is the battery. it drains like ****tttttttt. but my sister uses every social media, so i guess its fair enough to have 8 hours.

Change your setting may be. If you capture from low light place that's normal.

[Q] Front camera - Grainy

Just got myself an Xperia T2 ultra lte single sim. Noticed that upon switching the front camera, it's very grainy. Updated to kitkat4.4.2 and it's till the same. Read some comments is GSMarena that mentions the same. Anyone has the same issue?

Same bro all of T2 Ultra user also got the same problem and yet sony staff says that theirs fine
Better head to sony support forum and post about it to..
So they'll hurry the update
Also the battery life is descreasing a bit and the rear camera also becomes grainy after 4.4.2 too
Pretty dissapointing

I think the problem is that sony camera app uses always a too high ISO value.
Higher ISO means less shooting time (good in darkness or with fast objects) but significantly increase the noise.
There are a few camera apps good to fix that with manual iso settings.
Also you may set jpeg quality to 100%. Some camera apps also allow that setting.

yup man
same with me
4.4.3 improved a bit but not big difference so better post that one at sony forum to so they'll fix it at 4.4.4 maybe or additional update

So it is a software problem or the quality of the camera itself?
Anyway, both 13MP rear camera and 1.1MP front facing camera result using camera or camera360 apps is bad and very difficult to create the good one, especially in the low light situation. Anyone can give any suggestion how to make it at least better?
Thx

Z3 Camera

Hi peeps,
I am not sure about you guys, but I am very happy abt Z3 camera and its features, I came from Z1 and the camera is good too!
I notice some did mention or some of my friends saying Sony camera suck and that the Z3 camera is not as good as samsung s3 or other brands bah bah bah....
But I asked, what Sony phones are you conparing with and what are the camera or display settings of the Z3 phones. Then I reliased the following issues
1) Some are using Xperia Z ultra to compare with Samsung S3. Z ultra only have 8 MP and no ISO settings so if u want to use a mid range camera to fight with a higher range phone who will lose out? Just like I used a 20MP Z3 with the same setting I will surely win...
He also mention the Z ultra camera pic cannot tell the color difference between white and yellowish white but when I took the same pic, with my Z3, he was shocked....
2) Z3 camera by default has set to 8/15 MP for 16:9. So the pic is not the best yet. You need to change the settings....
3) Off the HDR & Display Enhencment settings, u will see a better quality photo on screen and on PC...
4) If you are using matt, anti finger print or privacy screen protectors, please dont even bother to complain abt the screen quality.... You are using a few dollar to cover up 100 dollar stuff...
5) Only a few case is factory defects which need u to send out for repairs... Nothing is perfect just that u are the few unlucky ones to get a defected product...

Oh man, please check where are posting, this forum about Sony smartWATCH 3, not about xperia z3.

and as a z3 owner (and z ultra by chance) I dont even know where to start with the actual content..

You are off topic here, should move to z3 board. This is a general problem we've heard many times on net. From my personal experiences, the answer is mixed. Overall, I would say Sony camera sometimes can be very good but in some situation it can be very bad. On the other hand, Samsung, HTC the camera performance is more consistent and most people prefer a stable camera(so most guys said iphone camera the best).
Sony camera generally poor on focus in my degrees of view while the quality can be very good when it can manage to get the focus right which is very annoy for most guys. Plus the Sony camera always compressed the image too much, in some photo when the object/environment is hard to compress, it will just lost the fight for Samsung which is a very clear answer.

[Question] Z5 camera vs XA2 camera

Hi developers,
I've been checking Xperia Z5 review and it said the camera module is the same that we have in the XA2.
Now, looking at photos taken with Z5 I have strong impression that the blur (optics imperfection...) at the edges of the photos is much smaller in Z5 taken photos than with XA2 photos. I think it can be corrected to some degree, but It's not done in XA2.
Would it be possible to try Xperia Z5 camera app to see if the XA2 photos quality improved with it ? Does anybody know maybe ?

Just try Snap camera app

Well ,the thing is that I've tried already quite a lot of 3rd party apps, including Snap, and the result is similar each time - photos with A LOT of noise. Like the phone would not allow 3rd party apps to denoise photos.
Or maybe there is something special about Sony XA2 software that makes 3rd party apps unable to fully utilize its potential.

Sure, it has - but it does so little change, that looks like almost no difference whether it's on or off.

I have my old Z5 Premium and my girlfriend has an XA2 I'll try some pics as I have the opportunity and give you the answer.
PS: My Z5 Premium has both the camera and the back cover replaced by myself with parts from internet. Both were Sony problems but phone was imported so I bypassed warranty for not loosing money and time. Still takes nice pictures. I had so many problems with that phone, lens stains, camera black spots, jack audio fail after a while, it bent...

RIP Z5p
Sorry seems that my Z5p is not working anymore.
During night my cat dropped a pitcher with some water on the table and my Z5p was there in a layer of thin water when I found it the next morning. Because of the broken back cover the water went in, there were drops coming from inside as I tried to press the cover with my thumbs.
Now seems dry but it only vibrates and doesn't boot. Waiting for more draining.

So sorry to hear this !
Anyway, in the meantime I got my camera module replaced under warranty at the Sony authorized service site, and now it takes much better pics, the blur is noticeable only where it can't be actually avoided (in the very distant edges of the photos)
But I have found a thread in the Sony support forum where users were discussing the blur that was a nightmare in Z5's photos. Seems like the problem was quite common. I feel like lucky winner now that I got a new, fully working camera module.
I hope your phone will wake up eventually, anyway :highfive:
