but its very dark place (but still some light on)
in morning its the best camera but at night very problem ,like in disco or pubs ,cant take pics lots grain in picture

What night sensor?
It's just the compression that makes you see those dots. Refer to other topics for similar results, we all have the same problem, we have to wait till Sony fixes the problem.
thank you and sorry i didnt found other thread about my prob thx
i think its got to do with the firm 1.434
cause i bout mine 3 days ago and it was early firm and everything was great but when i upgrade to the new firm the prob staret
Adjust the iso, the lower the iso the less noisy the pic will be.
Iso in XZ can reach to 1600, which is higher than s4 and HTC one.
Noise can happen a lot at 1600

Playing with the camera and can't really find any difference in quality. The hdr picture size is smaller but that's all the difference if you ask me.. What do you think, guys? Not impressed with that camera. Love this phone anyway))

I have done some sample pictures today, uploaded to another thread here
HDR mode let the camera to take few pics at different exposures, then combining then in one pic that is balanced. Not so bright not so dark.
If u want to test it your self, go outside in a sunny day and while standing in a shade take few pics fouced at bright things or things under a shade.
HDR is very handy if u have a dark spots and a very bright source in a single scene.

With and without HDR :
hello people!
when i try to take picture in low light condition,my picture got very bad quallity
even before im taking the picture i see lots of but lots of grain in the screen (only low condition)
so my picture looks like hell,and when i checked youtube i saw many great pics in night ,so my phone is not good maybe?
or you have it to?
cause in regular condition it looks great!!
im on eXistenZ rom with doom kernel.
I think it's down to how Sony compress the photos after they are taken I might be wrong:silly:
It's something that hopefully will be fixed it upcoming firmware updates as let's be honest the camera hardware wise should be amazing

I'd say take a look at the numerous topics about pictures made from this device, then you'll know more.
Coming from a Nexus 4 I find the camera quality to be fantastic. I haven't taken a single bad photo yet, in all lighting conditions, mostly using iauto

Hi all,
I have bought the phone yesterday, stock, unlocked latest software.
Look at those pictures, especially white birds... Ridiculous, even some white tint over seagulls, zero details on white feathers.
No sun, normal Irish day..
Please comment... Stock camera settings.

are you on 1.29?
the photo`s are overexposed, the one sets the exposure on what it is focusing on, so i would have though it focused on the dark water and raised the exposure, that`s is why the white birds are overexposed, if you focused on a white bird, the one would reduce the exposure, and give more detail on the birds.
You know you can touch the screen to focus, but there is a setting in the menu to take a photo automatically when you click on an area of the screen.
I wish there was an total area exposure mode instead of the focus spot one.
John.
that ^
I'm not an expert but, I think you just need to focus manually (press on the screen to focus as Tinderbox said) to avoid an overexposed picture...

It's called metering. When you tap on the water to focus (dark), the camera turns the light up so that the water is clearly visible and perfectly exposed. But since you're making dark brighter, the brights will naturally be even brighter. You want the feathers to show detail, you tap on them and it adjusts the light so that they are darker and you can see detail at the expense of even darker water.
Your best bet in these kind of high contrast situations is to use HDR mode. It takes 1 under-exposed image (dark) and 1 slightly over-exposed image (bright) and merges the 2 together. Dark areas will be brighter and bright areas will be darker, giving the image a little fake look, but evenly exposed throughout.
On dSLRs, HDR actually takes THREE images to combine (sometimes even 5). This gives the processor more choices to pick and choose the best parts of each image to merge to a final picture.

Thanks for your replies, guys.
I don't remember now, what I have been focusing on - was it the swans/seagulls or dark water, pavement. I think I tried both, focusing on different areas of the screen and the result was the same.
Same goes for videos, birds are overblown and shine like some white lanterns...
My firmware is 1.29.401.16
yeah do some metering and try different types of shots,

Just some samples to explain my previous post. First pic is me focusing on the wall, which is dark. The wall is now not but my lightsource is completely blown out.
As one pic shows me focusing on the light. Since it's bright, the camera has to darken the whole scene so I can actually see the object I focused on, turning the rest of the scene dark.

Guys, I know what you all mean, I know how to make pictures, good ones. It is the first phone I have that in auto mode makes such a scrappy photos...
Look at those:
http://db.tt/zBmK28lA
http://db.tt/KlhAMEKs
Those are pathetic details on whites, I was focusing on white feathers and still terrible. I even lowered exposure but this is not ideal as well. Hdr photos are the same for whites, still overblown...
Camera fault?
It's just the camera. I tested it against an s4 and an Xperia z. Indoor shots were way better on the one than either of them but both beat out the one hands down when it came to outdoor shots. I have tried everything and can't get a really good outdoor shot. I would like to see the result of someone porting the Xperia z camera app to our device but I don't know if it is possible.

It looks just like what ArmedandDangerous explained. In the first picture you seem to be focused on the water and the second it looks like you're focused on the birds.

Hey guys,
The problem is, that some extra white/bright objects are too small for the camera to catch focus for and adjust the settings.
I played with settings a bit over the weekend and the camera focuses OK on brighter objects, as long as they are big enough...
A bit of a shame, nor my Lumia 920, nor even galaxy S2 has problems like this... I guess, I can live with it, though
Hey new family!
Just brought my new z1 home, updated firmware and still Im totally unhappy with its camera. pictures are super blurry in auto and manual mode. Tested indoor with much daylight in the room... schould be more than plenty. My old galaxy s3 made way better pictures. Any suggestions? is it possible that i have a faulty model??
Greetz
what mode are you shooting in?
this seems to make most difference.
there are threads about the camera already so in a nutshell - 8mp is better than 20mp for sharpness/clarity
scene - landscape or night if light is low
14.1.G.2.257 perfect image quality!
I think you should share some of your pics + the modes selected to us so that our recommendation would be more accurate
I like Manual + 20mp + ISO 100 or 50 + EV 1 or 2 notches up depending on the light... I also prefer using the dedicated shutter button so that your hand is more stable... for moving objects (or very shaky hands) higher the ISO the less the blurriness but more noise...
8mp manual mode is the best and there's definitely some trouble with the autofokus.

then either my camera is broken or i am doing something wrong i tried both manual and auto in a well lit room
zooming in on anything makes a noisy mess
This was just a quick snap using superior auto, which isn't the greatest mode but that is absolutely fine to me.
I'd get it looked at

what are the lighting conditions in this shot? how far away was the can from the camera?
I can see the noise in the background. Also, the MON and ER are a but blurry. Other that that, the picture is ok - nothing spectacular.
I can't wait to try the camera out when I get the phone.
Mid morning with a window behind me, can was about 8-12 inches away.
Focusing on the can would make the background a little blurred

Looks fine for those conditions albeit a bit grainy. Nothing to cry over really. I just got mine today but unfortunately the c6906 doesn't have the latest firmware yet. I'll do some test shots after I get off work to see what the the fuss is about.
Hi everybody,
i got a P30 Pro since this monday and I'm really not sure if this is working as it should.
At day one I played around with the camera a bit (also at night) and was quite satisfied. Yesterday and today I noticed a drop in the picture quality. I can't remember if I was still on EMUI 9 on day one, but right now I have installed the last update EMUI 10.1 which came out 2 days ago i guess.
Please look at my screen recorded video and the pictures i took during recording.. If I zoom in and out I notice that only when using the main sensor these artifacts are visible, telelens and wide lens seem fine..
I also did a picture in daylight today, where the textures look really washed out and partially not visible at all.
The last two pics were taken at night on the first day, just for comparison..
this can't be normal behaviour right?
Video: https://streamable.com/66n2bw
Pictures attached
I have those artifacts too. They are called hot pixels. They are better visible when taking a long exposure photo in a dark environment (for testing, you can try covering the camera). I asked another user to try to replicate the results, he sees them too. I think it's a problem with the RYYB sensor.
Hm, i never noticed that on my device, and i take a lot of pictures...
So i guess faulty sensor?

... yes, I know ... and I've tried the same with Samsung S10e and Note 8 and it's pitch black how it's supposed to be, no artifacts/hot pixels. If you do night photos in Pro mode, you wil run into those very easily and it's bad. They also appear in some daylight photos.
