[Q] Does anyone know how to take Macro picture ? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to take a macro-focus picture with Z1, but it seems there is not macro mode in camera option. Any idea guys?

Change the resolution to 8mp. It won't display any mode at 20 mp.

Use superior auto mode and it automatically detects macro mode

Yes, but superior auto loses a considerable amount of detail and quality (it unnecessarily increases the iso)
for better results you can use the food options or you can deactivate the scenes, using lowest iso values and (in good light conditions) decreasing exposure level

Try using 8mp manual mode with touch focus option.. It will help..

[Q] Sharp images from XZ camera?

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.

Lowest number possible so 100
My phone is in for repairs (audio) at the moment, but isn't burst mode max resolution just under 8MP?

Camera settings - what is the best?

Hi. I am wondering what settings you all prefer using with the camera.
I am on normal mode, 9 megapixel (16:9).
Does the ppicture quality get a little better with 12megapixel (4:3)? Don't see any difference..
So what settings are you guys on?

We can't tell you our settings, cause it's a secret!
No... it purely depends on the conditions. We can tell you that for example superior mode is the best, wouldn't it be that you want to take a night shot, then Normal mode HDR would be better.
I'd say play with the settings and you decide.
I use normal mode HDR: off most of the times.
Sometimes burst.

Haha
I see. Don't see any difference when changing from many different setting. Only noticeable is changing from 9 mp to 12 mp. That is the format size. My eyes are so bad at noticing any difference what so ever.

Turn off HDR and you should be able to chose 8mp

the hdr RESOLUTION then takes the difference of which uses it, and it reduces the MP photo?
I don't think it's because of hdr but because of superior auto. Switch to normal mod and then you'll be able to choose 8mp

Camera Shutter Speed

Hey Guys
Quick question.
Is there is a way to speed up the camera shutter speed through software, or is it completely hardware driven? I am using the Camera FV-5 app. Takes great pictures, just wondering if there was a way to improve the shutter response. Thanks in advance.

Stock camera app has a mode called sport mode which speeds up shutter speed

Yeah, I tried that and the shots were still blurry unfortunately. I refuse to believe the camera/sensor on this phone is as bad as it is making out to be.

I guess you are just using the stock camera app?

What is the best manual/auto settings

I have stock z1 and was wondering what is the absolute best settings for manual mode and maybe auto. I know you can't change much in auto. Thanks in advanced

There is no absolute best setting because of various different scenes you could be taking. for example a good setting for a shot during the night would be poor for a good lightning portrait. auto mode tries to detect the best settings for the shot you are currently taking.
When taking a landscape you need hdr to smooth out the overly bright sky contrasting the land.
I find auto to be very good and I use it almost always. If you want to learn more Google for example " how to use DSL camera"
the cameras are different but the principle is the same and so are the adjustable settings.

Don't you worry about not having the full 20mp since auto is only 8?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
I mostly use my camera on Manual mode, even in the evening and low light conditions.
I use the 15MP setting. Then, you can choose Exposure on the left side of the screen and the White Balance. When you have the right WB (you will surely chose the one that best fits YOUR eye, you can try changing the Metering settings. These are really great for many shots like portraits and Macro photos. You can search for Metering settings on the Internet. Last thing I chose is the ISO sensitivity. For brighter scenes you can decrease it, but for low light you can make it higher to catch more light.
Try out these settings in any possible way, you will upgrade your knowledge in photography, but the possibilities are endless.
All the best.
:good:
It will always depend on the scenario. But I always use 8mp 4:3 aspect ratio.
