I would try night prortrait or maybe normal mode with -EV.
Night scene will give blurry pics

You can try handheld twilight
Night portrait
Party
Anti motion blur
Id suggest also try these settings out at a pub /club
Also maybe try without flash as alot of light will be on her
Or even superior auto

I see thanks, what settings did you use? I think that they could've been a lot better if your hands were a bit more stable.
It really helps a lot See this topic for examples:

My night/dark pictures were just bad because I used the wrong settings, hence the gazzilion amount of grains.

For the next time, it's better if you don't ever zoom in. The zooming can be done later on your pc. All the phone does is enhance the image and cut away the edges. Also zoomed images are almost always less clear.
Oh ja, volgende keer dat jullie Nederlands praten zet er dan een engelse vertaling bij. Dit is een regel bij XDA

Oh yeah, next time you are talking dutch, also post an English translation. This is an XDA rule.

Hahaha thnx i know its a rule,call it force of habit.
And thanks for the advice,but is it that hard to make a camera(app or sw) that is capable of sketchy situations?.if you think of it....we put people on the moon a long time ago hahaha,
My point is why is sony (who is great with cameras) missing the "knowledge" of a smartphone camera? If you can calling that

Your pics are overexposed,you should have use the normal mode and -0.7ev or -1ev

on a concerts i'd also try the burst mode, because the lights change all the time, at least some of the pictures should be good then.

Really??? Maybe in the SLR market.
I feel all their point and shoot cameras are sub standard in terms of picture quality, even more so all the new ones that have superior auto modes.
I was seriously looking at purchasing the new point and shoot zoom, but the so called optical zoom looked more like digital zoom, and all the latest models get reviews having worse picture quality than the previous models.

Is there any way to replace the camera with 3/5 MP autofocus one for galaxy mini
And if replaced would the ROM will support (CM7, GB...)

I Dont think so you would need to open up the mobs interior
its acctually possible with 3rd party application focus should work
and compatible camera maybe from galaxy fit... closer model to mini with 5mp autofocus
or sgs d900 it has 3.2mp sensor with af

You successfully swapped the Galaxy Mini camera with an auto-focus camera?
I guess he succeeded selling the SGM and bought a new digicam instead...

You can't upgrade a phone's hardware. It just can't be done.
If you want a better camera go and buy a new phone.
Please someone close this thread because it's not usefull at all.

Honestly, you're really good at it. I think if you improve the video quality next time, and just maybe tone down the gangster accent, but keep the great personality, you will do really well. I enjoyed that video much more than I enjoyed a lot of in depth reviews by professionals, and that should say a lot. :good:
Wait.... You unboxed it in the middle of the store?
LOL, You just couldn't wait, huh?
p.s. i hate you....*waits for shipment notification*
Thanks for the vid bro. I knew you were just f-ing around.

I quite liked it, different from the top-down, box on white paper unboxings that most people do.
Chuck on a 1080 or 720P camera, and it's great.

Mini fourth of July fireworks footage with HTC One

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsJHWfwEfb4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
this is a very brief video of some fireworks on the 4th of July, I figured I would show how good this phone takes videos at low light. I have to ask you guys, have you ever seen a phone take videos of fireworks with such minimal blur? Its the best I have seen yet! This is nothing special but I figured I would share it with you all. Have a great holiday guys!
Nice

Nope, was just kind of close. But I remember trying to do similar with my Evo LTE and Evo 3D and it was fairly blurry. This blows those other two video attempts away
Here's the video I recorded tonight. I was trying some of the different video scene modes... but I wasn't too impressed with how a lot of it turned out.

Only the first 10 seconds were vertical when I realized my mistake.
Nice fireworks! The audio is also pretty impressively clear for high volume shooting. The trick for shooting fireworks is usually not to over expose them, they're actually much closer to very brightly lit scenes than typical "low light". I'd be very happy with how the one handled that!

Take Lumia-level low light shots!

Tried shot control but it's very buggy at iso 100. So just turn on HDR and hold your device against something stable. Cheers

Definitely pleasing to eye. But they lack the crisp feel of Lumia. I Don't know I just can't stand Windows platform and Nokia for their utmost stupidity for sticking with WP... But Nokia's PV camera and build quality ... aaaah just EPIC. I know people will disagree here, calling Nokia Phones bulky but how can we forget owning Nokia phones all those years and boy they were sturdy.
Nokia please.. pleaseeee come to the brighter side of mobile arena
PEACE

Oops sorry for mentioning PV techno.. I was actually referring to Lumia 802. I recently saw its live low-light photos and boy that freaking 8 MP shooter stole the show from rest of us (android and iphone crowd...while at an event). I was shocked to witness THAT level of clarity in Lumia LL shots.
Pretty awesome, how'd you get to change the ISO Settings though?
how can we change the iso setting on stock camera in 4.3?! :S :S :S

With stock you can't. I referred to an app called shot control which allows you to, but when you set it to iso100 it usually freezes. About the lumia comparison, I think that these shots definitely are on par with the 920, which is pretty soft by itself. DDon't forget that XDA shrinks images, originals are much sharper. And about Nokia build quality, the lumias are definitely good, but traditionally Nokia had many flops: my 6120, N95, N85 and N97 all crumbled pretty fast.
I want a lumia 925. 920 but way thinner/lighter/better looking
