yesterday i clicked the pictures in my friend's birthday. the pictures are very blurry and of low quality and so much noice in it. moreover the video becomes too dark while shooting in low light. is there any solution of this problem ?
Use flash next time, the camera of this phone is bad at low light performance, you can install a deodexed rom with the camera hack that improves this side, but a little bit.

Playing with the camera and can't really find any difference in quality. The hdr picture size is smaller but that's all the difference if you ask me.. What do you think, guys? Not impressed with that camera. Love this phone anyway))

I have done some sample pictures today, uploaded to another thread here
HDR mode let the camera to take few pics at different exposures, then combining then in one pic that is balanced. Not so bright not so dark.
If u want to test it your self, go outside in a sunny day and while standing in a shade take few pics fouced at bright things or things under a shade.
HDR is very handy if u have a dark spots and a very bright source in a single scene.

Compare..
With and without HDR :
I'm getting some seriously nasty bars during slow motion recording (I attached a screen shot which isn't as bad but when it's a video the bars move all around and are very distracting) Anyone seeing the same thing or am I looking at a defective phone? I already swapped out phones yesterday due to a stuck pixel, but best buy has been very easy about it thus far. Just wanting to see if this is hardware or software, thanks!
Yep, exactly the same here. Gets worse the more the sensor gain ramps up.

Checked the sprint store demo and a best buy demo, All the same. Must be a low light issue. Oh well, Guess most of the time the feature will be used in the daylight (although this may be a bad thing when trying to slow mo some epic beer pong matches)

Figures, seems like it would be a hardware issue, but maybe there will be some magic firmware update that will help.
Most serious hd cameras require a lot of light, so this should be no surprise when recording show motion videos. Just be sure to have adequate lighting in the future

I haven't looked closely at the example yet otherwise I would have put my 2 cents in earlier.
I work a lot with cameras and know them very well. One thing to keep in mind is cmos sensors don't expose every pixel at the same time. This causes what is known as the jello effect when you move quickly left and right. This can also cause what is known as rolling shutter. I believe this is caused by the shutter speed in combination with the way cmos sensors work. When I get back from this weekend trip, I'll see what is going on.
At work I have a professional Sony video camera with a backlit cmos sensor. If I drop the shutter speed down too low to help when it's too dark, especially around fluorescent lights, I get brown bars rolling across the image. It's just a physical limitation of the sensor no matter the camera. Some hide it better than others. I hope this helps clear this up.

This is nothing like traditional noise caused by high sensor gain in low light. We're talking dense horizontal lines only in slow motion recording, which I'm guessing is 120fps? 60 fps mode works fine. I've seen examples of slow motion video recorded by the euro version in low light that didn't have this problem.

That doesn't eliminate it as a cause. The example you saw could have been in better lighting conditions than you thought, or the euro edition might have had older firmware that didn't let the ISO go as high (thus, the whole image would appear much darker, but less noise).
120fps slow motion means the camera has to use at least 120th of a second for a shutter speed. This is relatively fast for a smartphone camera, so it has to bump up the ISO to compensate. If the light is especially low, it will have to move all the way to the upper bounds of its ISO capability to get a usable image. Meanwhile, a 60fps video will have MUCH more time (2x is a lot of time) to grab light, and so it doesn't need to force the ISO so high.
It's extremely unlikely that a firmware update will solve this issue. All they could do is just force the camera not to use that high ISO setting, resulting in slow motion videos that are too dark instead of too noisy.
(Also, BTW, this has nothing to do with the jello effect)
How do you do slow motion video recording? When I have the video camera on, there aren't any menu options available.

Thanks for adding. I hadn't had a chance to even look at the example posted but felt like it should be addressed by someone. I'm out in the middle of nowhere right now, video streaming isn't always going to work well here.

The euro demo was in CONSIDERABLY worse lighting, without question. I don't have time to look for it now, but it's on Youtube.
The Euro version just got an official update regarding several problems. It also included a low light slomotion video upgrade

I'm getting a stuck blue pixel when taking photos in low light... is anyone else experiencing this? The blue pixel is showing up in the actual photo taken, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the sensor.
Daylight photos aren't exhibiting this behavior.
Okay, I did search to see if there were comments on this.
4.4 screwed up my HDR. HDR video is only slightly affected but HDR photos are normally worthless. It is no good for shots with truly bright areas. A sunny sky goes from blue to near white. Clouds disappear totally in a haze of white. Doing a factory reset helped somewhat but only a bit. Now if I only took pics at dusk and at night and never had light sources in the picture it might be fine but it´s not the case.
Has anyone else noticed this since their upgrades?
Attached you'll find a sample comparison (plus the original but renamed files).
It been that way since the 1st day i had it. We all know One is not really great in daylight.. easiest way to fix it is by select a low ISO (100 - 200) and choose a focus subject , then lock ae/af (long press subject/area when focus) and choose the hdr. Profit.
But it still not great as HOX hdr in daylight. But acceptable for me.

Well, it used to be much better for me, quite nice in fact. I can't modify any settings with HDR. HDR ignores ISO and exposure settings, it will only focus.

Hi,
Is it just me or does anyone notice the difference in photo quality between photos taken with “single shot” and “burst (both LO and HIGH)”?
It appears to me photos taken using “Burst” mode are merely just “screenshots” taken from a “video” that starts recording the moment you long press on the shutter button...if this is the case, the burst function would be kind of lame (I wish I’m wrong)
I don't think they quality is worse with burst. Here are 2 photos I've taken with burst. I have a hard time believing they would been better with a single shot! Got many burst photos of my kids to that are great. Love burst mode. Brrrrrrrrrrap

I'm on Tapatalk so maybe the pics are being downscaled as fck...

I've noticed mostly the colours are less contrasted and that there's a smidge more noise but assist from that, it's great stuff. Much better than a screen grab from a video feed
The colors seem to be a tad more washed out for the BURST SHOTS compared to the NORMAL SINGLE SHOTS. Hope they can continue improving the quality of the burst shots over time with updates
