Diamond photo preview speed - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi, how fast is Diamond photo-preview? I read that in dark areas is photo preview much much laggy, almost unusable. My brothers PDA Asus P535 (2Mpx) has very very good speed at preview, but w/o any image operation - I mean, that image was dark, you can not even see what you are photographing, but finally phoography was OK. I heard saw that Diamond has very laggy preview, but it is changing photo contrast and light in preview. Is this true?

Found a way to force the graphic driver to show 262K color - I did - is there harm?

I found the following and did changes to the registry. It made my games smooth and very lively !(I am really impressed as I could play - albeit enjoyed - for the first time 'XTRACT')
Found a way to force the graphic driver to show 262K color as 9502 have 262K VGA LCD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416207
But I do not know is thre any harm in doing this? Or does changing BPP value really change colors to 262K? because system information still shows 65K colors but everything else, especially video and games seems to be more vivid and brightand brilliant!
hmmm, dont see much of a difference, but this slowed my device, so i restored the default 16
well last time i read wm6.1 could only handle 65k colors
but if u really want to know if it did something copy some gradient picture files test it in both settings , and there u have it
65k colors should have bad quality when looking at images like this

makes me wonder tho, gradient images are perfect on my x1 when i use them as backgrounds on the today screen, but as soon as i use the same images with the sony ericsson panel, the bad quality shows up

WM has always supported more colors. The fact that spikegotti noticed slowdown is expected:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/09/07/462187.aspx
can anybody confirm the improved image quality?
also, can you quantify the amount of slow down? is it noticeable
It works for me. Not even slow, maybe response a bit better for me. Image maybe clearer but hard to tell with my busted eyes. I like it.
not noticing much of a difference, I feel that the device has slowed down a bit.
eg. in titanium when i'm scrolling it is a bit laggier than before.
other than that, I think there's a bit of an improvement?
To those who are trying this, look at the gradient image posted above. Before making this change can you see distince changes in color or does it look smooth? How about after? Do you notice a slowdown?
No gradient image not smooth. But other images look fine. I don't know about you guys, but I'm keeping it.
actually, after a soft reset everything's fine.
speed is up to normal, and the image looks nice.
keeping it as well!
hmm if its not slowing the xperia i will give it a try also
I presume more colors = more processor intensity = lower battery life, but perhaps people can report.
Anywho, the high resolution image viewing with HTC Album 3.0 is mad clear. I like it. Thanks, +rep
Can someone try the camera? It seems to response better for me.
i dont see any difference in quality of colour or speed of device
I think some people are imagining things.
The X1 screen only supports 16bit (65K colors), so how in the world is anyone seeing a difference?
Even if the X1 screen supported 24bit color (WM already does), you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 24bit image and a 16bit one, unless you were viewing gradients.

do you kno where you are?
this whole forum is for peole who wishfully think that their phones are better than they are and are willing to do anything and everything to make those wishes come true... i.e. flash-a-holics
I can also "Confirm" there is visually a colour dept difference when you choose 18 or 24 bit VS the default.
I will check with one of my mates x1 without this reg change tomorrow to close the seal.
Until then....
you mean I can choose 24 instead of just 18? I went from 16 to 18.. but think of the possibility o.o

Motion Blur

The motion blur from my HD7 while scrolling text is very noticeable. Is it the way it should be with a TFT LCD screen. My brother has a Samsung Omnia 7 and there is no motion blur while scrolling text.

My best guess is it's the SAMOLED screen on the Omnia 7. I have the Surround and HD7 here and both have the "motion blur".
Change the HD7 to light theme and see if it goes away.
Yes it's how it's supposed to work with LCD screen especially the big ones. I remember I bought a Samsung LCD for my PC several years back and when I was playing FIFA the players got blurry when the camera was moved instantly.
To be honest for me it's not a deal-breaker and I am not even bothered by it.In fact it kinda gives a cool futuristic factor which next-gen games seem to have these days but that's just me.
Guys, we are talking about 2010 LCD tech where most TFT screens can cope with motions. Scroll text can't really compare with playing games and watching sport events.
Have not tried playing action games on my HD7, but scroll "black" text seems better, but scroll colour/white text, the motion blur is a bit unbearable, makes me a little dizzy.
i 've tried LG optimus7, HTC Mozart and Trophy - all have this motion blur (set with HIGH brightness on black screen). I think HD7 is just more obvious due to size of screen compared to the rest (3.7-3.8")

[Q] Camera Problem

Recently i purchased Galaxy Note & i really love it but i dont like its camera.
When i open my camera app picture look beautiful & very clear but when i shot the picture it becomes dull. I tried several other camera apps also same result.
I think its because of HD display picture looks beautiful before capturing it. After capture the picture it becomes dull. I am confused why so? its because of HD display or software problem or hardware problem??
Anyone facing this problem or am i alone??

Phone FW Version: OOEI08
Please reply me friends. if its hardware fault then i have to return it
i have problems in zooming...autofocus works very bad..
Without zooming i have good pics,expecially macro
Cam FW Version: OOEI08
I think in software problems,not hardware
Waiting for next Firm upgrade...and android 4...
You are not alone. I was about to post a thread with the exact same problem. I'm really disappointed at the moment as I'm uncovering more and more problems with the phone each day.
Software issue
I was having the same problem, go to settings, ISO, remove from auto to 800, the pics wouldn't become dull anymore... i hope...

All cameras with digital zoom will look very bad if zoomed in. It is because the image is enlarged using its pixels rather than the lens....so as you zoom in the pixels just get bigger. I t's just like when zooming in on a photo using pinch to zoom.. ..if you zoom right in you can see individual pixels and the image will look blurred.
This is not a fault, just one of the downsides of using digital zoom.

It's not digital zoom, it's definitely the auto focus.
I have a batch of good pics from when I first started using the Note, so makes me believe the latest firmware update messed things up, especially since macro pics look fantastic.

Forgot to mention, I am experiencing the same problem as the original post. The pictures look perfect in the frame a micro-second before capturing, then the actual image turns out a bit fuzzy.

I had the same problem, but I think I have solved the problem now. When I took picture, it turned out to be very dull. I was playing around with my case today and all of a sudden, I found a clear film attached to the lens. After removed, the new picture taken became well again. You may want to see if you also has the film on the lens not removed.
I wish it was that simple.
Something in the image processing is softening the image before it's saved to the phone. If anyone has any suggestions please reply (though I've pretty much used up all the combinations).
Note, (ha!) the front facing camera takes nice crisp images, what I would also expect from the main camera.
Yes im facing same problem! I see a nice preview and when i take a pic it looks really bad ! It is disappointing really...It was not like that on the Galaxy SII.
A few things to try.Enable the anti shake function and try to keep the phone still when taking pictures.No phones take good pictures in low light situations,so when abundant light is not available switch to night mode.This will brighten the picture considerably.
Also I find the auto ISO tends towards the low setting even when light is poor so adjust the ISO manually.This might explain why some people find pictures a bit dark.
The image for me after taking an image is very dull. Like the recorded colours are reduced from what you see on the screen before capture. This is also true for video recording. I have attached a photo compairing the images of captured vs shown on the screen before capture. Hopefully someone can fix this. It must be a software issue because the hardward already shows great images before capture.

Which firmware version are you running?
hi. actually i got this problem on first time. i got this problem fix after i reset camera setting. try it yourself
I suggest you turn off the auto brightness and set the display brightness to Max and turm auto adjust screen power then try again.
I think you think the pictures are dull after they were taken because of the screen auto brightness .
I figure the camera app will increase your screen brightness for whatever brightness setting you are on and the gallery app. Wouldn't.
So you will see a duller image in gallery preview versus the camera app viewfinder , hence lead you a misconception of the picture look dull compare to the camera viewfinder.

It actually has nothing to do with the screen, rather it's how the image is captured. The software is softening the image, so even downloaded images appear dull.
And it's only the rear camera. My front camera images are crisp both on the Note's screen and when uploaded elsewhere.

Your right, brightness was set at 0% but camera app always goes to full.
Silly me!
However, the problem is still there but not so obvious as in the images I posted. The colour is undersaturated compaired to viewfinder and its also blurred/ not as sharp. That is also when taking a photo using a perfectly still stand.
I'm noticing the same thing. The pictures are dull and not as sharp as what I see on the screen. this is a huge disappointment that I hope Samsung will fix soon.
i would like to know some fix about this too... hopefully there is a nice reasoning to image becoming dull...
faced kinda a similar prob on my HTC desire hd wherein the pics became yellow however changing the AUTO WHITE balance helped me.... However on my note it doesnt.

[PHOTOS] ISOCELL camera discussion - my review is up!

We discuss ISOCELL camera technology and new camera features, photos shared on the internet, and Your user photos and videos here.
Features of the Galaxy S5 ISOCELL camera unit:
15.87 MP (5312x2988) 16:9 aspect ratio Samsung BSI ISOCELL sensor
PDAF (phase detection auto focus) for fast auto focus
4k video recording, [email protected]
Live HDR phoro and video preview (Rich Tone available for video)
Software image stabilization
Selective focus
Drama mode
I got my hands on the S5 thx to the guys at XXL GSM, so here's my review:
Since smartphones took over compact cameras as the most popular tool for daily photography, each manufacturer is trying to create it's own camera tech. Sony put the metal wiring behind photo diodes to capture more photons (BSI), HTC introduced the large UltraPixels, and Nokia came up with the large sensor 41MP PureView tech with OIS. Samsung only slightly adjusted it's sensor size (1/2.6") and pixel count (16MP with 1.12um sensor pixels) for it's 5th Galaxy S phone, but with a new sensor manufacturing method, they are introducing higher dynamic range and better color reproduction, in what they call "3D-Backside Illuminated Pixel with Front-Side Deep-Trench Isolation (F-DTI) and Vertical Transfer Gate", or because they're physically isolating pixels to decrease light crosstalk, "ISOCELL". For faster focus they also added a phase detection auto-focus layer (PDAF) delivering ~0.3s focal speed, plus image processing capable of live HDR and HDR video recording. Add sensor-level digital zoom in video, meaning you don't zoom into the 1080p picture anymore but use all the 16MPs, and the S5s new 16:9 sensor delivers a much needed step-up in camera technology.
In good light conditions the S5 rivals any rival phone in snappiness, white balance, color gamut and focal accuracy, also offering healthy amounts of details for print quality images. HDR works seamlessly and sometimes you can't tell it was on, only you realize little to no detail is lost to clipping, it works darn fast too, albeit with some loss of details. Facing directly into sunlight, and dynamic range stays solid without lens issues, color errors or aberrations, and noise levels are kept at a minimal. Jpg compression is slightly above ideal as seen in the smallest details, on the other hand, speeds are excellent, tap-to-focus and tap-to-shot is almost instantaneous, and the app opens and finishes the first shot from cache in about 1.5s, 2,5s from a locked screen. The S5 can take about 7 shots per second in a photo burst (long tap on the photo icon).

In lower light conditions, as most small sensor smartphones, the S5 is a mixed bag, but an improvement in color reproduction, focal accuracy and snappiness over the S4. Missing are the optical image stabilization (OIS) and longer than 1/17s exposure times (Camera Zoom FX can do 1/10). The Photography app ranges from ISO40 to the very soft ISO2000 shots with manual setup available between ISO100 and ISO800 (Zoom FX does ISO1600 too). In dark conditions, if LED flash not used, you can turn on image stabilization (former night mode) to battle noise, and a multi-exposure of about 3-4 seconds (hold the phone steady) compiles an improved low-light image. HDR works too (with more noise on the sides), and while movement requires stability turned off with higher ISO or flash, optionally Sport Mode, overall I like the accurate color reproduction, which is a problem for many rivals. My biggest criticism besides OIS is the lack of 1/5 1/2 1s and other longer exposure times and manual control for it, at ISO100 with a 1 second exposure the ISOCELL sensor could capture much more details, and since the Lumias have OIS, they are better than the S5 in this category.

Besides setting up ISO, exposure, white balance, resolutions, timer, voice control etc. from the menu, there are Samsung's various camera MODEs. Selective Focus shoots multiple focal shots of the same subject, and you can later select the preferred focal point - foreground, background or both - algorithm is not perfect. In Shot and more the camera takes a series of images before a fixed background, and allows you to choose Best photo, Best face, Drama mode to record multiple phases of a movement on one image, delete unwanted stuff with Eraser and add motion blur via Panning shot. The Shot and more editing menu comes up after taking the shot, later you can access it from the Studio.
Beauty face lets you play around with skin tones and stuff, Virtual tour is like moving around in Street View: you turn and walk around taking several shots in a house for example, and later revisit it virtually moving around with arrows. Dual shot places both camera images on a single shot, Animated photo creates a gif, Sound and shoot allows you to add a voice comment to your shot and Sport mode uses high ISO and wide focus not to miss any fast movement, have this one on with kids around. There are two Panorama modes, regular 2D one with horizontal movement, and the Nexus-like Surround shot that does 3D photosphere, with some inconsistency. Trick for a good sphere is to hold the camera lens at the same spot and move the phone/yourself around it.

The Samsung Gallery is quite advanced app, you get several views of you single images, folders and multi-folders with previews, and Air View helps checking content without tapping on it, hovering over with your fingers. Studio gives you a whole lot of options for editing, besides Photoshop-like functions and manipulations, you can make photo montages, trim videos, render slideshows and edit Shot and more mode photos.
Video recording is a great joy on the S5. Sound is clear (though I made the mistake of covering one of the stereo mics due to hand stabilization), software stabilization is quite usable and HDR is good, as well as recording in 60fps for smooth motion, though these are limited to 1080p resolution maximum. There's fast motion up to 8x and slow motion recording down to 1/8 speed without sound, but the real gem is recording the the marvelous 3840x2160 or 4k resolution, which is 4 times the pixel count of 1080p. Eventually we'll get 4k TVs and monitors, heck, tablets and phones come out with 2k/4MP displays nowadays which is almost there, so why not record in 4k right now? Just check the frame captures I posted below to see the details and low level of mp4 compression, you could print some of these frames. The trade-off is the lack of HDR, stabilization and 60FPS at this resolution, and a 5 minute clip limit since each 60 seconds recorded at 47MBit/s takes up around 350MBs. Yeah... In lower light you obviously lose some of the gorgeous details and noise comes up, but it's still quite nice.

Conclusion
Overall the S5 camera is highly satisfying in this reviewer's option. I did not find a single case when white balance, saturation or exposure was off, operation is fast unless you have stability mode on in low-light, focus and dynamic range definitely improved, and you can choose among many video and photo options. Where's the biggest step forward? In consistency. Out of 10 shots you'll get good ones at a far better rate than before.
Obviously low light is the S5's weaker point, with less light you get softer images and need flash or high ISO to capture movement, but where you lose details to some rivals, you gain color accuracy, so Samsung's ISOCELL is getting there. Next stop should be OIS, but one thing they could do right now: allowing longer than 1/17s exposure times so we can set low ISO value and capture more dark details. Maybe the future Google camera API will open this option. Overall however, I think the shots speak for themselves: the S5 is a very capable shooter with some room for improvement, and you'll be able to pull many print-ready shots over your long usage. Just be aware: as good as the S5 battery is, things like 100% screen brightness and 4k recording kills the 2800mAh quite quickly, bring a spare battery or power bank.

Tips and tricks
- Do multiple shots of the same subject, a good momentum or less handshake can later be selected out of the many
- HDR is one tap away, so do one with and without it, some shots look better with high contrast, others benefit from HDR
- In low light with movement, you have to use LED flash without stability, cause high ISO and longer shutter will not capture these moments with good detail
- In low light with stationary subject however, use stability, optionally LED, no HDR cause of noise. With enough lights you may try using ISO800 with darker results but more details. Much will depend on the amount of available light
- use voice commands to avoid tap-shake, hold the phone steady with two hands, optionally use a monopod
- try and use the photo Modes, some will do fancy images, others come handy like Sport mode to capture fast movement
- between Panorama and Surround Shot, I prefer the latter, cause it captures surroundings vertically too, so result won't be an overly wide image. The trick with photospheres is to not be close to the surrounding objects and have the camera lens in the absolute middle in space, and move the phone and yourself around that spot as the take the sphere images
- try alternative apps if they are better for you: CameraZoom FX, Focal, Google Camera etc. Camera Zoom FX allows 1/10 exposure and ISO1600 manually
- be aware not to cover the top and bottom microphones during video shoot. Best image quality comes from 4k, but image stabilization, 60FPS or HDR only works with 1080p, again best to test all these and later use the one best suited for you or the scene
- use AirView in Gallery, and try out Studio options for your recordings
- bring a power bank with longer photography tours cause a lot of camera usage and 100% brightness eats the battery quickly
Let's analyze! The first two striking qualities of the ISOCELL samples are: 1) eye popping wide dynamic range with rich colors, and 2) relative high noise and softness of the picture. I guess that's the tradeoff here.
Saturation is quite high yet not unrealistic, it simply looks to capture a wide color range, especially impressive in the Angry Birds photo inside. White balance is spot on. As far as Rich Tone (HDR) shots goes, it's pretty impressive as well, look how much more detail is presented without overprocessing the image. On the other hand, noise and softness is always present on these shots, even at low ISO, PureView and Exmor technology seems well ahead in per pixel sharpness. More to come.

Yup. :good:
BTW, it appears that selective focus takes 4 photos or at least renders 4 photos, as samples played around with that setting have ~16MB size instead of the regular 4. So I guess the file can be shared and focus changed afterwards, wouldn't mind Google+ and other services allowing you to choose focus after upload.

but why you delete all info? including EXIF.. It's not secret
Again its not isocell ( probably they saving it for Note 4 or GS6 )
no new flash ( same old led flash )
indoors photos still look like oil paint -->> no OIS indoors and low light images will suck
overall i think it will be like most of Galaxy flagships : great images when there is enough light but when there is not the image will suck
I think it is ISOCELL technology, the photos on PhoneArena are really not bad at and higher 5s z1.

They just started mass production for the 16MP ISOCELL sensor.

The article also mentions the new octa for the octa variant for the S5, also beginning mass production.
Samsung doesn't mention specific hardware specs anymore.

Because Samsung never EVER goes technical about sensor tech, check their track record, they don't.
It is a vastly different sensor to the Exmors however, closer to Samsung own's Galaxy Cameras (softness of image, noise), but far superior in color balance and dynamic range, which is exactly what ISOCELL is all about. Add that announcers did show off new camera HW features and Android Authority claims ISOCELL was confirmed to them, so it's almost certainly that tech.
So where do you get your information that it isn't?
BoneXDA said:
All right, new stills from GSM Arena, normal vs. rich tone (HDR), direct linking so EXIF info should be included. Level of details don't justify 16MPs, but color reproduction and HDR quality is quite awesome!

GSM Arena samples show EXIF info just fine.

This is what he means, the S4 pic shows which fw the device was running, while the S5 pic shows Photoshop.

Google Camera 6.1 Modded!

Razer has done a unbelievable job vamping up their Razer Phone for the Razer Phone 2! The stock camera improved vastly, but still very bad in low light ambient lighting, and portrait mode is just bad. The camera hardware is just amazing, same as the Pixel 3/3XL series. Thanks to BSG for kick starting the whole modded google camera scenes! Also thanks to san1tyy, and the great defcomg, razer phone 2 is blazing on the GCam scene.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ujvBXVid6XOIN-YxidyM5O0tQXZN5LSB
Changelog:
-Initial release
-added 45 frames and 50 frames for low light shots
-manual slider for iso and long exposure. Long exposure is not working fully because Razer did not implement it yet on their stock camera
-pixel 3 awb enabled, and super res zoom. Super res zoom works sort off because it does makes pictures max zoom much sharper but true super res zoom requires pixel visual core only for Pixel 3/3XL
Tips: set processing to 2018zslr+, and use pixel 3 xl mode for front and rear cameras. Max every other settings out.

Thanks for posting this! I'm curious though, how does this differ from the Google Camera port with hdr+?

It is based on it with the changes listed.
bright flash at the start of the video/ slow motion fail
My video's start with a bright flash on the screen, Im unable to change that. Slow motion videos do not playback.
Using RP2 8.1.0, MR2 .2009
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but this ONLY works when I select Panorama otherwise its just a black screen that eventually force closes.
Will you have this APK listed here? celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Slow motion does not work for me, I get 2 seconds of regular speed video playback, then the video freezes, the slowmo audio plays slow, then after a few seconds pause, 2 more seconds of regular speed video, and this just keeps repeating the whole video. The only thing slow is the audio. Did I miss something? A setting? Or does it just plain not work at all? And what do you even mean by "max out all the other settings"...? What settings are you referring to? What is max? I don't even know what 99% of the tecno-babble in the settings menu even means, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Can anyone clarify? Maybe post a list of what settings are the "best".
EDIT- 10/16/2019
found a working gcam mod that has slow motion and time lapse, verified to work, on my phone, from personal experience. Also includes other settings for resolution and all the other gcam goodies.

Version 6.2.030
Is there a different thread that we can follow to see the progress, or is this the only thread optimizing GCAM for the Razer Phone 2?
Hey,in case someone comes here instead of seeing its specific thread, a Razer Phone 2 version of GCam was uploaded to https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/a...google-camera/ the other day. I downloaded it, and it's so much faster than the MI8 version. It's bloody quick. No more loading ring when I'm taking a picture. Just a flash as the picture is taken.
That's BSG. His thread for the RazerPhone2 version of Gcam is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2/themes/mod-google-camera-t3898230
