how is your moto x twist camera doing ? have you ever felt slow perforance or take time when you twist the phone and how long it show up and ready to snap a picture ? and when you snap a picture is it normal to take 1-2.5 second for picture to be snap when you already press the screen ?
and do you guys feel any lagging when you doing this step when your phone condition is filled with apps , photo and video in your phone folder ?
Turn off auto HDR for faster pictures.

I just ran a marathon over the weekend at disney, and used the twist to launch the camera to take pictures along the track so I wasnt fumbling through the interface, and found it launched almost immediately, and was able to take pictures immediately as well. I love this feature of this phone!

really ? thattime you already filled your phone with a bunch of video and picture and apps too into your moto x phone ? cause I'm just thinking the more you add more apps into your phone the more it will make everything lagging heavily .
It's working great for me. I like the "rapid fire" photos that you can take by pressing and holding the screen. Great for getting a decent photo when things are happening fast.

I dont have hundreds of apps or anything, but I have a good amount, and I have a couple hundred pictures on my phone already, and it still works almost flawlessly.

thx man for your input , have you ever found your home screen crash and need to be restart ?
Anyone have any suggestions for any camera apps that are quick and have low shutter lag? I'm not looking for any fancy effects or anything, just an ability to take photos quickly.
I noticed that the default Moto Camera has a lot of shutter lag.

I would also be interested if you find out anything. I've tried the Google stock camera as well, but not sure it's any better. Other possibilities are VCSO Camera or Camera FV-5. Whatever you try and find out, I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. I've tried both, but couldn't say for certain if it was quicker and haven't sat down to methodically test them.

I was taking pictures at a family BBQ and the lag on the stock camera was between 1 and 3 seconds. Half the pics don't even have the person I was photographing in them. By the time it shot the pic, they had already moved on.

Heh, I totally feel you. I have a 10 month old kid that I want to get pictures of while he's doing things, and the shutter lag means lots and lots of blurry pictures. I've often wondered, why is it that we cannot simply pull stills from video? For example, engage a "high-speed camera mode" that captures video for a brief period (~1-3 seconds) and breaks it up as stills that you can then choose. I imagine the image quality in the stills is poor and that you don't notice it while it's in playback mode, but less-than-ideal stills may still be better than blurred single shots. Just a thought... my knowledge of photography is very poor, so I imagine there are definite reasons why this hasn't been done, but I am curious.
I'm trying to take a panorama with my Z3C. Lighting is good (bright daylight). I've panned from very slow to very quickly. Everytime, it says it cannot take the picture and tells me to pan faster. "Cannot take picture. Please pan faster."
I also tried it indoors just to see. Same error message.
Any ideas? The superior auto mode and manual modes work fine. This is my first time trying panorama and it's simply not working. Thanks.
Edit: One more piece of info. In the little "preview" at the bottom of the screen that shows a tiny version of the panorama that is being taken, it IS filling in as expected, so it appears that things are working. But when I take my finger off the shutter it gives me the error message.

It takes practice to get it right. I believe that if you also change the altitude it will say the same. So try to pan at the same height or it will also say the same thing.
Thanks for the input. I've tried about 50 times. Can't seem to get it!

I gave up on the panorama, it literally is the worst thing I have ever tried. I might just get a Panorama app for taking those types of pics. I know the struggle that you are having. The only way to get it to work, is to do a full sweep, that seems to be it.

Oh you have to sweep all the way till the entire thumbnail at the bottom is filled up with picture? That's truly ridiculous, if so.

Yes you have to, thought you knew that.
If you don't you'll get a part of the picture that's just grey.

Nope, didn't know that, and it makes Sony panorama mode completely worthless. I don't always need my panorama to be the maximum width permitted by the software. Sometimes i only need it to be slightly wider that one picture would allow.
I think this is the first phone I've had in years that forces panoramas to be the same size every time. Ridiculous.

Hey mate, thanks a lot for mentioning that you use Google Camera for Panoramas. I want to purchase the Z3C but have this huge concern over the small resolution of panoramas.
Could you please upload a good highest possible res panorama image here? I want it just to check the quality of the panorama. I don't want panorama images to be limited by Sony's hardware, that's the thing. Could you please upload a full size panorama? Thanks a lot!

I have managed to get a half panorama on my Xperia Z3 (Not compact model) and when you get the photo that has grey you just need to crop it, very hard to get it perfect though becuase it still expects you want the entire sized pano -_- heres a pic of a half pano I took on my Z3.
Works fine on mine although I've found it doesn't like low light conditions, that's when it starts giving me the pan faster error...

Thanks a lot for responding with your helpful photo and comment, I'm sorry I wasn't active on this site and I forgot about the question that I asked here.
I got the Z3C finally just 10 days ago! Haven't installed the Google Camera app as yet, as I am waiting for my MicroSD card to arrive so that I don't block up all the internal storage. Once I get it, I'll install the Google Camera app and check out the Pano on my own too.
Thanks for your help mate, appreciate it!
Anyone can give me a feedback on this? My S10+ is awful at taking pictures of my kids whenever they're jumping around or moving, which is always, so I have to use the gcam port to take these pictures, since it does a much better job in such scenario compared to the stock app. I already preordered the P30 Pro, but I have a 2 day window if I want to cancel my preorder, and I would love it if someone can answer as soon as possible.

Here's a moving pic. Not bad. Really you need to overcome it in the pro mode... Faster shutter speed. This pic is just in standard photo mode with AI on

If he was moving in this picture, then it's hell of a great shot imo. My S10+ couldn't even keep up with my daughter moving her hand because she was writing, I kept getting a blurred arm and a slightly blurred face.
Thanks for your feedback, and hopefully I'll get more examples in the next day or so.
I used to have a blur problem in all phones I have before for moving objects , but not the p30 pro any more , look closely the taxi speed is 60kmph + , and in photo seems stand still but it's not and u can read the plate number also .

With S10(+) you can take great moving pictures but in Auto mode you have to push & hold the main camera key to take several pictures... That makes the camera to digress the shutter speed...try it...
As many of you requested, here you go.
Thanks alot! can you post night mode (not auto but longer exposure ones) of dark environment not just low light?
Also can you take a medium light shots with and without scene optimizer turned on?
Did you used touch to focus - then shot? and is it exynos or snapdragon?

On DSLR, I must shoot with shutter speed no less than 1/100. Some photos were 5s explosure on telephoto lens, so expect some bluriness.

I'm sorry dude, i hope you don't get this wrong, i just want to make sure its the camera and not your hands, i just checked most of this photos, and most of them are blurry, so either this environment is much darker then it looks or maybe you didn't get the camera update that some units just now are receiving?

The environment is super dark, I would say photo look like 3-4 stop brighter than the actual place. Here is the setting I must use on DSLR to get the shot if you care about it. SS 1/100 f/1.8 ISO 6400. I already download and update 1 patch upon receiving the unit which has 1.0GB in size.
So if it so dark, how would you compare the photos with other phones? are they decent, good, great? next time just a suggestion, take few non night mode/regular shots if prompted for auto night mode turn it off if possible, that shot should be great for reference. Thanks for taking the time to answer

Here is night shot vs pro mode pair.
Compared to S7, I would say it is much better, but S7 is 2017 era phone, so I don't think it's a good competitor.
Even pro mode looks 1 stop brighter than actual place.
Thanks dude! really appreciate it.
Please report back when you can on the scene optimizer.

The scene optimizer sends you to night mode upon turning on, so it's the same as using the night mode anyway.

Yes but i prefer to see medium to low light shot without night mode and no scene optimizer
My Ultra 21is coming on Wedn., 27th, but check out this night shots video from down under - this phone camera rocks!
