-cloudy days
-indoor poor light
-light/sun behind you.
Usually they (surprisingly) are slightly darker than I'd like. Not a big photo guy but been using this camera a lot. Its great.
1.What kind of settings adjustments on the camera do you guys use for those conditions without getting a grainy result?
Thanks
I went into the scenes and I choose the indoor/party setting and the lighting is improved. It is under the settings I believe. They have ones for indoor, outdoor, sunset, sunrise, etc. It seems to automatically adjust the camera settings
The camera app is ridiculous. It's the one thing that may keep me away from switching to an aosp ROM.
Hi I just got HTC One V but I noticed the picture quality on my laptop rather looks washed up. can anybody recommend good settings or tweaks for better results
Decrease the brightness or use these settings...
When I took a picture of me and transferred it to my laptop, my pic also looked like a painting on which little water was spilled... Then I realized that it was the brightness of my laptop. I had increased it to its fullest for some work earlier. When I decreased my brightness, my pic was looking great. :laugh:
If this doesn't help, Try these settings:
Flash - OFF.
Image Resolution - 5MP.
ISO - Auto.
White Balance - Auto.
Scene - Auto.
Best of Luck :fingers-crossed:
Decrease the Sharpness and Saturation counter by one.
Never trust in-camera picture adjustments settings on any Mobile camera or Digital Camera.

Power, we don't decrease olthe saturation or sharpness on our PC... do we?
If we use the settings I've stated above, there's no sharpness-saturation problem.

Looks promising, but unfortunately was not working well for me, on Google Edition ArHD 2.0.
Opens fine, but freezes randomly when a picture is taken. The viewfinder also just shows a black screen randomly upon startup as well.
Works on Sense, but with some issues... Not sure why, but after using Sphere, crashed...

Also experience this crash on the GE rom. Seems to take up a lot of battery as well. From the time launching app, to making a small sphere to test it, and it crashing, it went down 4%.
I don't rate this at all. The pictures aren't as good as the Stock camera and the options are a mess. Trying to navigate through lots of small icons that aren't even clear what they are with no labels to boot was enough to make me delete it after 5 minutes.

I'm in the same boat as you with this. Excellent idea from CM but a poor execution. The icons aren't even legible in most cases.. which one is Macro?? The review slide down doesn't work half the time either.. the best feature is metering mode.
Not what i expected, and I hope Team CM has better plans for the rest of Nemesis and the final versions of Focal.

Lol, funny you mention Macro because that's the one I looked for when I tested it but gave up after pressing a few icons. For me though it comes down to Sense, literally lol. No camera performs well on the One other than stock, the GE camera suffers the same fate ... HTC really know their stuff when it comes to camera software.
Which is the required android version?
macro
Where is the macro. Btw, my phone crash with effect mode, it's ace 3 4.2.2

Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.

Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.
The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.
I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.

Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.
Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.
What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.
That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.
I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.
It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.

I went back and tested my camera in more depth.
When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?
Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?
I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.
Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.
4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.
