Have a strange camera issue...
When i set iso to 200, for example, it looks like all ok, as picture goes darker, but when I take picture, it goes brighter as iso is set above 800-1000 or exposure goes to max and saves like this... and then it goes back darker on the screen... Wtf?
When I setting iso in settings to 200, I want it to capture with that iso...
No hdr or flash is enabled...
Is this the known issue and there is a fix for that? Or maybe some suggestions?
Or its just me with this issue?
Thanks!

C6603, latest firmware, rooted, doomlords kermel...
i don't think the stock fw honours ISO settings.
It tries to up to the max then drops down till it finds a working version, so as to keep shutter speeds high,
despite what the camera app says!

What you are experiencing is that the viewer doesn't display the image with the iso that you have selected that's why it's all dark.
But when you press the shutter it takes the picture with the right iso.

Yup. If you manually set ISO to 100 in low light, and take a pic. (ignoring the viewer) you will get a reasonable result :thumbup:

You are in a Sony Xperia Z thread, so very likely to be one of those
If your fixed ISO is dark then, your metering is up the wack or the exposure is too short for the light in the sceen

Exactly as stated here, the same issue happens on most cameras LCD's in low light shots.

Hdr is not a problem here, and it is not turned on...
Problem is if in normal mode and iso set to 100 or 200 for example, in the mid light condition you almost dont see anything on the viewfinder, the picture is too dark, but if you take a photo it comes out bright and all is visible on it...

I know, but hdr makes a difference in the viewfinder when iso is set low.

Hello, I am experiencing something word with my camera. I'm not really sure if we consider it a hardware problem or something.As you can see, there are purple lines that appear on my pictures.. Why is this? Second question, can I get my phone replaced because of this problem?
P.s. I used to experience this in my blackberry storm 1 after a few years. Attaching photos. 1 st photo was taken with my Note and the second was with my storm.

Do you notice the same banding effect on your phone if you use Gallery or browse the net? In low light conditions the striped effect has been reported by many other Note users - search for "banding" and you'll see what I mean
I do notice the effect but only when in low light - if the screen is set to higher brightness the banding effect goes away. So maybe it is not camera related but more to do with the screen?

Okay, I'll read up on banding later on. I tried turning up the brightness on full and took a test shot and still, there were those lines. I kind of noticed that this banding happens more for whites than low lighting conditions.
Thanks by the way!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Simple test would also be to transfer the photo to your PC and see if it shows banding there? (I am probably wrong but assuming you used screenshot feature of Note to take screen captures?)
PS - don't just say it - hit the Thanks button
Sorry I'm new here. there you go.
Anyway I'm not yet home so have no access yet to my PC. Got to chat and show what's wrong with a photographer friend. he told me that this is a common problem due to the fluorescent light. True enough,I tried some low light shots under a different light bulb and no banding. I was quite convinced and so I'll continue trying to do tests.

Change ur iso settings
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I notice on the nexus device camera you have to hard press and hold the camera button and wait until the dialer lock into place. its a twisting dialer that goes from left to right from 9pm to 12. There is a green light at 12 o clock. You have to let go of the shutter button when the dialer hit 12 o clock. Simply just slightly tapping the camera shutter button cause the screen to get a lil out of focus but it produces a clear shot also.....try it out.
for better color reproduction in day light use -1 in the iso/ white balance /exposure setting
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics
Thanks man that was very helpful !

in day light hold down the camera shutter button. The dialer should start at 9 oclock. as you hold down on the shutter button the dialer moves to 12 olock when it reaches 12 oclock the dialer turn green. release the camera shutter button at 12 oclock....
The big circle is the dialer
I noticed that i get a better color reproduction with -1 in the camera ios/white balance setting....
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics
Dialer is the Focus Circle !
kinda confusing when you refer dialer as focus circle. By holding the shutter button you're forcing focus to stay locked on.. Just like on any regular camera(PNS,DSLR) Phone Shooters come with continuous auto-focusing which is kinda annoying... always preferred single focus over continuous but then again single focus would be terrible with video..
Nice find :good::good::good::good:
I always do this when taking pics. Even on the s3 I would hold the shutter button til focus locked in instead of just tapping it then focus isn't 100%

thanks for sharing with everyone, i figured this out a while ago, and posted in the 'pictures taken from nexus 4 thread'. but it works very well with flash! pictures come out way more natural, and pictures dont come out too bright or bluish tint!

very cool. I had no idea. that stupid moving circle was driving me APE ****. STOP FREAKING GETTING OUT OF FOCUS.
holding the blue button down locks it and takes great in focus shots. who knew?

so you're saying that exposure compensation menu also controls ISO? like 2 in 1? because ISO it's the other thing which weirdly cannot be adjusted manually as well as metering.
I think Galaxy S line (2-3 and 4) have those for manual adjustment. I can live without ISO adjustment no problem.. anything above 400 looks terrible anyway. But Google Or LG had to put Metering mode for a proper exposure...At least N4 got HDR mode as workaround

i don't quite understand with this one. i assume this is non hdr mode since you manually turn on the flash. do i have to change the scene mode or leave it on auto?

Hello all,
We all know that the camera clarity is not so good in XZ... Even my Arc was far better as compared to this.. I tried changing settings alot but couldnt get any solution.. The pictures are not sharp at all.. Can anyone tell me how can we get sharper picture? The images are quite blurry even if u use the "Supererior auto" mode.. So if any one can help me..
Hold the phone still, make sure HDR is off, should come out quite clear and sharp in good lighting conditions.
Do NOT use superior auto. And lower you iso. High iso screws up pics big time.
If you need sharp images shoot in burst mode.

I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. The problem only happens when I take photos in a room that has fluorescent tube lights. I have attached a photo with the issue.
The photo basically has horizontal lines which don't look very attractive

It appears that the frequency in which the fluro flickers is the same as which you phone is sensitive to. Does it show this on the screen while you are composing the shot? If possible to get around it, the most likely options would be to speed up or slow down the shutter speed, you will get this by manually changing the camera modes.
It all depends how the florescent light is being powered. If you use a digital ballast, you won't get the lines.
Hey guys,anyone got this problem too? When I wanna take a pic and is dark,the purple flare appears on screen like I take a pic with Instagram.
Attached a pic.
any clue ?
Turn down the iso to 100.
The One's sensor is sometimes over aggressive in low light situations, sacrificing realism for visibility.
