camera question..

hi there. recently i notice that there are green dotss and blue dotss somewhere on the picture taken from my camera.. does this mean that there are dead pixels?? or my camera become faulty??
is there anywhere to clear all the dots tat are on the picture??
sorry my english is not so good
:shock:

i had uploaded a photo that had been taken from my camera..
please have a look, there are lotsa green dots n blue dot somewhere on the picture..
how can i solve this problem??

I've got green and red dots also on my camera. Even had it on my only previous faulty device too.

Apparently I think this happens for everyone's XDA IIi or equivalent device. Is there any experts out there who can explain the cause?

:lol:
thats called Sensor Noise! because the photo sensor on mobile devices is so small if you try and take a picture in a dark environment you'll get noise!
try taking a pic in an environment with plenty of light :wink:
if you want a decent picture spend a few $$ on a decent camera

i had try out taking a picture somewhere brighter, but the result still same.. here's the picture i had taken.
by the way, how can i upgrade my xdaIIi's camera to the type of camera u mention ?? upgrade it from o2 service department ??
thankss

You can't upgrade the internal camera, there are no direct replacements. If you look at the Hi-res images I got of the Alpine you'll see the sort of size and shape of camera required and I very much doubt there'll be others the same or similar shape/size. If there are then you need to add the data ribbon to connect it.
Overall go to an Elec store and buy a dedicated camera.

I don't agree. Motorola V3 has a camera as small as XDAIIi and the pictures are awesome. Lenses are a determinant factor in quality. I personaly have a Canon DC20 that takes wonderfull photos but I would like to get better photos with my XDAIIi. Why not get better results wiyh ours devices? Converging functions in one device is helpfull to mobile professionals. BTW, tweaking the camera settings in registry makes the photos much better. See this forum for more information.

I think that there is no problem on your camara. note that if you want to have a good picture you must chose the best index light in setting of the camara for example; ambience: night or flourescent... and the cature mode, cature size..

The camera isnt that good but you are never going to get great pics from a lens that size and indoor pics are always going to be grainy without a flash tho you should be getting better pics than those you have so far

Do a search for AtekSoft's CoolCamera. It allows quite a few more options than the default. There may be better camera replacement software out there, but I havn't found it yet.

Ateksoft is the one most Cooooooooool Camera software.....

From what I understand, O2 included a camera 'upgrade' in their extrom (which installs whenever you hard reset), which actually makes the camera quality WORSE. I've not tested it myself, as I'm quite happy with my phone setup as it is and really don't want to hard reset AGAIN, but some users report that flashing their device with the firmware which doesn't include this camera upgrade makes their camera quality better.
Also, you have to bear in mind that pretty much all cameras use cheap and nasty CMOS sensor technology (what low-quality webcams use) - the resolution and light sensitivity of CMOS technology is REALLY poor compared to CCD, but CCD tech is much more expensive and sucks up more battery power (hence CMOS technology being more widespread in the mobile industry).
Better quality cameras are starting to appear, and the quality of the k750i camera continues to astound me when I see my friends' photos. It won't be long though, I remember seeing articles about lenses made with a tiny suspension of water inbetween two nanometre-thick layers of plastic, to which an electric current could be applied to make the water change shape, acting as an optical lens... This kind of technology will drastically increase the quality and cost-effectiveness of higher-end portable, miniature camera technology, and I can't wait until it becomes widespread.

Good Camera for under $400

I told my girlfriend I'd get her a camera for Christmas. I was planning on getting her a $1000 high end camera but we went to Vegas and she knows not to expect that. I'm down to getting her something in the $300 to $400 area. She currently has this huge 3 year old camera which makes her feel like a photographer. My old sony cybershot was better, it's to bad she lost it in Vegas. I know nothing about cameras and what to look for. Although, I know high zoom and megapixels aren't always the way to go. Can anyone give me good recommendations? It'll mostly be used for still shots. I know she really likes to play with settings on a camera but those tend to only come on the really expensive ones.
If possible can anyone recommend me a good entry level dslrs camera as well. I might be able to get some more money from here until then.

For point and shoots look at the Canon G series. (G11, G12) they have the settings and sensor of a dSLR but in a compact design and no interchangeable lenses. For cheaper dSLRs look at the Canon T2i (not the T3i, same thing, but swivel screen and more expensive).

Fuji S series are very good for the price.
There compacts in the design of SLR with all the A/P S/P M modes including the usual point and shoots & Optical Zoom 10 x can be found very cheap for the amount of options inc.

Panasonic Lumix cameras are always getting excellent reviews. I'm happy with mine.

Ive heard realy good reviews for them... Generally what you want is a bridge camera: someting between a compact and dslr but without interchangeable lens

That is not macro, but I like that heli. lol
As I said before, Canon G series are the best for their price vs. Quality vs. manual settings.

Actually it is. That battery connector is actually quite tiny, but the photo makes it seem much larger.

Macro basically means life size. So in that shot it would be macro if you placed the battery connector on the camera's sensor, that's how much space it would take up on a photo. SO basically if you have something that is half the sensor, it would cover half the sensor. That is of course when you are focused to achieve 1:1 ratio of zoom.
The macro setting on the point and shoot cameras is just a setting that enables you to focus closer, but there is nothing macro about that.
Kind of like this:

Why the quality of the camera is so bad?

LG Optimus 2X's camera has 8mp but is a fully crap!!! The camera from LG Optimus black (5mp) Galaxy S2 is way, way better!!!
First-> Photos:
LG 2X:... CRAP!!!! make blurred pictures/ colors are not suitable/brightness is very bad
LG OB:....Not the best, but way more better, clear pictures/ sharp colors/ no problem with the brightness, NO MORE OTHER WORDS IF SGS2 dosen't exist it was the 1st best camera!!!
Galaxy S2: NO WORDS 1ST PRIZE!!!!!
Second-> Videos:
LG 2X:... FULLY CRAP!!!! make blurred videos/ colors are not suitable/brightness is very, very bad/ no auto focus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LG OB:....Best i ever tried on a mobile device, way more better than other Optimus or Galaxy (or others) device, clear videos/ sharp colors/ LG OB:....Not the bes, but way more better, clear pictures/ sharp color/ absolutely no problem with the brightness
Galaxy S2: Never tried
IF U KNOW ANY FIX FOR 2X CAMERA PLZ HELP ME!!! I REALLY NEED THE CAMERA, I TRIED DIFFERENT APPS BUT NO SUCCES, EXEPT LGCamera Pro (more options and settring)

hello i don`t know what is wrong with your or You just don`t know how to do the pictures on your mobile, because i did try camera on my log optimus 2x only on stock rom and i compare to se xperia arc S my whife and for me lg is a way better than se, no matter how you set up camera in same light condition is a lot better lg than se, nice and sharp pictures, colors are better, on poor light pictures on lg looks a lot better not so much "noise" like on se xperia arc S, a lot better lg camera than se, sorry but i did test both and se xperia arc S have no chance with lg optimus 2x camera.

Try taking the back cover off and then testing the camera. Does it make a difference?

Damn... It really works thanks!
It's actually quite funny, how doing something so simple can make a whole lot of difference...

Honestly not my idea. It was in a thread here a few days ago where someone commented on the difference, and a small discussion about it. Was even a joke about having the glass replaced with optical glass, or simply cutting a hole in the back plate (And then having to keep the lens clean).
BTW.. you can get spare back cover's from ebay and other places cheaply. I'm not sure if the aftermarket 'extended battery covers' have plastic on them, so you may be able to get an extended battery and clear camera shots ;-)
As a side note, within 30 seconds of opening my phone, I got a fingerprint on the side of the case I couldn't get off lol.
Oh, on the 'auto focus' side of things, I did read in a review that once the auto focus is set (from the moment you press record with the LG camera app), it stays at that focus unfortunately. Maybe there is a better camera app that adjusts focus real time, or a way to hack the app?

I noticed that the camera unit has it's own len's anyway, so it's protected, so you could probably safely remove the plastic/glass from the back of the case if you so wished. Your choice obviously.

The difference between a picture taken with the plastic cover, and without it is crazy !

There are LOTS of spare covers on ebay, and 100% genuine available from LG's supplier cheaply Perhaps buy a new cover, and just cut the old plastic out or something if you are into pictures

That's what I'm gonna do, because the difference is worth it !
It's so sharp without it !
The only issue will be dust getting into the phone !

If you want autofocus take a look here:

Remember that to use this CAM MOD you need CM7

I had taken fotos by cm7 camera,o2x official camera and MIUI camera.
The contrast is not remarkable.
THe effects order is official>miui>cm7.

Lol what a nice idea! I have to try that, even im happy with the original. Wont have issues like that.

I suppose that this is applies only if the cover is full of dust or it is oiled and if it has scratches.

today iv dropped my phone and back cover got a crack. so i thot any way will have to by the new one. so i removed tbe glass from the camera.
this is how it looks.

lol, not bad

Today I found out something interesting. With lg camcord I went to settings and played a bit. With the ''action mode'' on a 720p video and 20mb bitrate the result came out really really fluid. I also played going out in the light and back in the dark and it was still fluid, no difference in framerates from outside to inside.
I think I'm going to keep it on ''action mode'' 4ever.
( I want autofocus working!!

i think bad quality is because compression. compression in p990 is too high.
if we can abase compression level, we will get better quality.
Known anyone how decrease compress. level?
thanks

Well. I dropped my O2X. The plastic cracked, so i decided to pull out a knife and started making a hole.
Will this be a problem or?

I've just the same, (only cut out neater ) I can tell you that I've got no problem so far.

What cams you use for photography?

Well i am not a professional photographer, but i really like clicking photos... So my question is what do you guys use , obviously apart from your smartphones and tablets..... Point and shoot, DSLRs, SLRs, Mirrorless?????

Never said tablets sooooo...

I have tons of cameras depending on what I'm doing. For the sake of simplicity I will yap about my latest DSLR that I use occasionally when I don't mind lugging it around. I use a Canon 7D with several older EF lenses back from when I was shooting film. I find that smart phones take awful pictures unless the lighting and subjects are cooperating perfectly. I have some waterproof ones for snowboarding, snorkling, and swimming. I have a couple of small compact point and shoots for carrying around to take pictures when I need portability like with a smart phone but want better pictures. I have been increasingly unhappy with point and shoot cameras these days. That's about it. I could go into more detail if you have any specific questions.

[Q] Blurry camera shots. HW defect?

Hello everyone,
I'm using the camera of my brand new Z3C for the first time and I'm getting these incredibly blurry shots with both the default (Sony) camera app and Google camera:

The device hasn't gotten wet since I received it and there's no protector on the back.
But before sending it to a repair center, I'd like to have your opinion on this..
Do you guys think this is resolvable trough SW? Or is this most likely a HW defect?
Thx!
EDIT: I just checked and I have the same issue with the front facing camera

UPDATE: Corrected img links. Performed factory reset, but issue remains. Seems like both camera's are unable to focus..

still I'm waiting mines shipment, but did you try restart or factory reset? hopefully mine will be flawless, cause ı ordered in austruia and livin in Turkey

I would get it exchanged pronto..

Can you see any condensation in the camera, if you hold it under bright light?
It's kind of curious to me that the blurriness happens to front as well as rear camera.

Do you use the physical shutter button? If so, do you press it fully at once or do you let it focus with a half-press? Make sure you half-press first, until it focused.
---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------
elaurens, do objects very close to the camera appear sharp and clear? If not, you must check under bright light if there is fog in the camera. The kind of blur looks more like a foggy blur than an out-of-focus blur.
If there's no fog and very near objects look blurry too, then the only thing I can think of is that one or more lens elements could actually be missing from the lens?!

I had this same problem for ages*
Then by accident discovered that theres an app on there that is called background defocus ,just disable the **bleep** and delete it then your camera will be brillant ,bloddy sony should tell you this*
