Is there a way to modify / lower camera flash brightness (output) in ICS?
When taking photos in darker environment, flash 'burns' the photo i.e. colors are washed out and photo is overexposed. I also noticed when the flash is activated during focusing, its brightness is normal.
As far as I remember, this was not the case in GB based ROMs (in which I always used ported stock LG camera app).
I've yet to try out alternative camera apps (zoom fx, ucam...), but I'd like to stick to the stock LG software.
TIA
same problem here,but i used Jbcamera+ for taking pictures (it has great autofocus and the flash is ok) and camerazoomfx for video recording,(the stock one not focusing and the jbcamera+) because the stock camera is bit annoying for me
I havent used the lg stock camera but as you have said the photos are over exposed when using flash so isnt there an option to decrease the exposure? I use the 4.2 Camera and when taking night shots depending on how close the target I set exposure to -1/-2 and get decent low light shots, flash wise that is.
Well, there is exposure compensation on stock camera app, just haven't thought of that before. Will try tonight both camera JB from play store and LG's app with exp -1 and -2.
Thanks.

I thought camerazoom fx only took photos?
Yes, the exposure is way too high. Generally the photos are affected by the flash burns. The only solution i found was to decrease the exposure to -1 or -2.
OK, much better with exposure at -1 and -2 (depending on the surrounding light level).
I just wish LG camera app were a bit more 'intelligent' to figure exposure compensation on its own, but then again it would probably have to rely on some DSLR-like metering methods that would certainly double the size of camera/CCD (and the bulge where it sits) as well as its price...
If this were top priority to me, I'd probably be carrying a 'stupidphone' with an enormous camera at its back (nokia 808, anyone
Hot to improve Camera quality of Z camera?
Some people said Z1 camera mod will improved the quality of camera, but I have bad experience with Z1.
So Z1 camera fail
Cyber shot camera not working on 4.2.2
Stock Camera is okay
But tell how to improve?

I feel that the hardware is not to be blamed here...
The software here is at fault..
The superior auto mode is not so superior in its job(it's ok if you want to capture something real-quick)... But if you want the best from the hardware you'll have to turn to manual controls...(Camera FV-5 is the best app I know for that)
Jpeg compression is just too much here...thus we can see the lack of detail in some photos(macro)
To get the best of the camera,My suggestions are as follows :-
If you like the stock camera app... 1)Turn off superior auto mode... Switch to manual mode
2) set the ISO at 200 (max) for daylight photography,,,,400 for twilight
3) HDR off
4) metering mode set to average
And if you still want better results:
1) install Camera FV-5 (full version support developer )
2) go to settings -> photo encoding settings -> file format -> set it to PNG ( it takes some seriously huge pics (15 mb..)
3) now apply all the manual controls mentioned above
If you think what difference does the above methods do to the quality of the photos... Take a photo with normal method (superior auto) and then manual method... And then compare..

So as we all know, the Nexus 6 camera sucks in low light compared to just about every other phone on the market. I played with L Camera (camera app that uses Lollipop's new camera API's) and played with the exposure and ISO settings and was able to get very good quality pictures with minimal noise. This makes me believe that the hardware is capable of alot better low-light performance, but on the software side of things, the "default" auto-exposure setting is set too low. Is there any way to change this?
I'm able to get okay results using HDR+, but on apps like Snapchat where there is no control over anything, low-light pics are abysmal.
I would like to ask you to compare low light camera results between Sony camera and Open Camera.
I have the impression that the green and purple spickles are much less using Open Camera, both in 20.66 MP and in 8.28 MP
File size of Open Camera is 1/3 from Sony Camera file size
First of all.... Clean your keyboard.
And if you are happy with the results... Use the one you like!

Unlocking means is a decrease in camera quality since you lose all DRM Rights to Sony's post processing algorithms. You could try different camera apps with slight differences but it certainly won't beat the Camera of a Z3C with a locked bootloader. The Green and Violet Spickles will be visible if the scenery is dark
Are there any picture compensations about the picture quality loss?
