Take Lumia-level low light shots! - Nexus 4 General

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

Thank you... .:thumbup:

It's stock.I was just as surprised as you.

Wow, looks epic !! I'm going to try this out tonight

wow awesome, will have to play with it, thanks for the tip!

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

I just don't see this happening (nor do I really see a point to it - I've had tablets with cameras, useless). Anyway, if you really want a camera for your tablet, here:
http://www.looxcie.com/
Small, works over bluetooth, compatible with a bunch of devices, and a reasonable cost (buy once, use for many years). Who knows there may be others out there too, that was the first one I found in a 2 minute google search. >_>
EDIT: Actually now that I think of it this is probably more ideal than having a camera in the device. This way you don't have to look like a tool trying to angle your tablet for a shot, you can just move the little camera around and leave the tablet on the table or whatever as a view finder. Seems a lot more flexible... I might get one to play with...
Yes, thank so much for that, i think your idea about camera out of device is great, same my idea. Because im vietnamess, so this camera it difficult to find and buy it. Ha ha im apprecia about that. Nice to talk to u. Thank

wow, i've never seen such an intuitive design!!! this is gonna be SO useful! thank you so much!!
The tablet can clearly have a camera, all you need to do is find the compatible one, solder it in and hope that the traces are there and that it can be supported in android. Start looking at other asus tablets with rear cameras.
This will be the device that your camera comes from.

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*

Sure. I'm using a Canon 40D with Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC Macro. Those color lines are the reflection from screen saver "Ribbons" of Win8 . All the settings has been keep in the exif data of each photo, u can find them in the photo properties, thx.

" Fake and lame."? I don’t really get the point . When there is front-lighting, the back glass will show pure black, just like the first photo. When is back-lighting shooting, the glass will show dark shimmering dot matrix, like the second photo.
Fancy!

Hah, I have only guessed the screen saver part
For some reason, there is no exif data, but never mind, the pictures are stunning. Sharp like hell in that low-light...
Congrats!
Oh, and I guess that Google would gladly use them if it wasn't for the Win screen saver
Amazing, photography. Post more.
And to the guy saying it's fake and lame, he's just jealous.
Some people need to learn sarcasm
He clearly was making a jive on the fact that lots of people have had their back shatter
Although mines fine
Lovely pictures.

Wow, that's crazy side by side like that. Gotta try and get my hands on one to try. The way the S4 sounded, to me, was almost a little "tinny" or too much treble...which is how I always feel like my N4 sounds when I record. Good stuff though.

Cyanogenmod Nemesis

Just getting everyones thoughts and speculation as to what this might be...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PcpyavQSvMk
I'll be frank and say I'm not really caring at all.
1st. If it's that great.. Just show it.. Stop with the Michael Bay movie trailer style teasers for an Android feature..
2nd. I haven't cared for anything Cyanogenmod has put out since Gingerbread and not seeing this as anything but another piece of bloatware they include.

I agree with the first point completely. But you gotta give credit where credit is due, especially if you're running a non-stock ROM. A lot of the custom features are based off cm code, especially in all these kitchen-sink Roms you see on the Dev boards now a days. CM is the originators, not the duplicators.

I love this post a ton. Kudos!
i think it has something to do with a new camera feature in which the camera takes multiple photos and allows you to select the best one. Or maybe even eliminate unwanted elements in a photo as seen in new lumia phones. What ever it is.. I cant wait for it!
Maybe its the new 4.3 CM Rom or a phone with CM as stock.
Like the suggestion of it being a Rom for an Iphone. How much would that upset Apple
Did anyone recognize that phone on teaser? Narrow bezel, not-so-good screen (low viewing angle), Android 4.2.2 and "FREE" sign instead of carrier name.
I think there's something more than camera.
EDIT: Look at the lockscreen wallpaper. Maybe it is red (but because low viewing angle it is kinda blueish)... like on Android 4.3?

So now he's gonna ignore all other phones and concentrate on one manufacturer, the same as he did with Samsing. CM is supposed to be universal.

I know for sure it is a french phone. Free is a carrier and an internet provider in France. Makes me think of a nexus device, and it looks like the google edition wallpaper.
These buzzwords make me believe that they might start a second path and include stuff they want to see in android, which is too far from googles guidelines
and therefore not included in regular cyanogen mod:
Complete UI overhaul, colors, animations, functions...
But then there is the lockscreen in this trailer, which just looks like stock android.
So we can just wait and enjoy what might come...
