Question about the camera from Xperia Z owner! - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys I was planning to buy Nexus 5 but then I realized that I couldn't live without SONY so now I'm planning to buy Xperia Z1, so here is my question. I suppose that all of you know the third party camera app called ProCaptureCamera which is most awesome out there, so I'm interested if in options you still can select 20MP resolution and option to crop it to 16:9 / 16:10
Something like this but for 20MP instead of 13MP please check somebody, thanks!

You can actually...
[email protected]:9 = 5248x2952 and 7.93MB
[email protected]:10 = 5248x3280 and 9.33MB

i'm using [email protected]:9 with ProCapture Camera and it works great.

Thank you guys! Could you please post any sample just interested how it looks, thanks!

To be more accurate, other third party camera apps don't have ISO settings available either.

To be even more accurate ISO settings are available on non SONY rom, for example everything works on Cyanogen Mod

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus
Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?
I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

Oh, it's a phone?? Naaah, damn, thought it was a camera....
Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.
I love it too,i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:
I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo

Camera application from lenovo flagship set with 13mp

This is a new camera application from Lenovo flagship set with maximum number of features including HDR.
"Lenovo Smart Camera software means enabling intelligent smile correction, auto face 'make-up' editing effects, and auto-exposure mode "
I'm amazed by the quality of the camera. Takes sharp and good pictures than our stock camera also no yellow/pink tint and smooth video recording and now that's what I call 1080p full hd
and also gallery has lot of editing features like beauty , special effects and I love gif creator.
All you say is wow after installing this app.
( If you don't know about lenovo flagship set " It is the device with 13mp camera with 1080p display and is powered by Intel".
MOD EDIT: links removed for the use of AdFly
Note pls download the .apks provided by me from the above link, which doesnot require any bad permissions.
The .apks provided in the middle of this thread by other members asks for some permission and I won't be responsible if you instal that file.
Thanks Good application :thumbup::thumbup:

Woah, it is sharp as mentioned and much lower noise than our Sony camera app. However, I couldnt find the setting to make it 16:9. May not be that big an issue, can always crop using editor. But the main thing is, this app by a china company interestingly beat the Japanese in terms of software.

only setting to 16:9 in 1080p resolution, don't have 9 mpx
i like this app because it is better than stock camera app, more effect and more details
A cimplete port for this and if all function is working...this would be a masterpiece which break the stock camera...this app is amazing
sent from my lovely XperiA Z
Too buggy right now on CM10.2
Looks good, but all effects crash the app. Focal on the other hand is light weight, good, and fast.
Picture quality really is awesome =)
we need to find the system dump , so a developer can get the libs which use these features which dont work

Some settings talk to you, probably telling you how to use the effect.
However, she's speaking Chinese, so not much use to me
The stuff that does.work is very impressive. There's a lot here that ROM designers will go wild with....

FX Camera and Camera Zoom FX are different apps...
The Focal Beta does look quite good as well, can't say anything about picture quality yet.
It can be downloaded directly from the playstore!
Perfectly Clear works perfect .
Fotor, once my favourite, crashes on Z1.
Depends on preferences:
Camera FV-5 is pretty advanced and nice
Focal has good potential and looks nice
Procam is working fine...
Wish SuperCamera was working properly, older version does start but the settings don't seem to always do much...

4K Video Recording

when Note 3 with same CPU can have Video Recording why cant a camera centric Z1 have.. is there is a chances we will have 4k recording

something like implementing 4k recording require sony to do something to the camera driver right?

I don't think so - I'd say it's about software and bandwidth and codecs. if it was camera driver, then other camera apps on Note 3 would allow to record video in 4K, and as far as I know they don't do that, so...
so potentially, someone can make an app with 4k recording and brute for it to work? Or a 8MP recording and downsample to 1080p video, still a huge quality boost.
eagerly waiting for 4k recording on this awesome phone....
btwn any nice camera app for this phone like which can shoot at 13 mp or higher.. 21 mp than 8mp is great diff

Camera FV-5 I would say is one of the best
does Camara FV-5 allow 4k video recording? Even for note 3?

No, it is a camera photography app, sorry to confuse I was referring to the second part of imranaryan's post. For 4k to be enabled the codecs drivers etc would need to be implemented by Sony unless someone can hack this
Maybe Sony will give 4k recording along with kitkat update.....maybe.....I really trust in the potentially of this phone and on the efforts of Sony to give us a very good product which actually is.....
Has Sony ever said anything about the Z1 having or gettin 4k video recording?
i know the was rumours before the z1 was officially announced but i havent heard anything from Sony about it.
basically all ive seen was a supposedly leaked pic of what was then the Honami phone with a sticker on it saying 4k.
i wouldve thought if Sony was planning on implementing 4k into the z1 they wouldve announced something by now in an attempt to get more interest in the z1. why keep a major selling point quiet?
the fact that theyve said nothing makes me think its not coming to z1 and possibly be saved for the z2.
