Is there any possibility to improve the camera on OB?

all the pictures are blurry and the videos taken with the camera stops eventually for half a second (I guess this is because of the stock sdcard).
Is there any possibility to improve the camera performance to get clean pictures?
Thank you in advance,
Haitzo

I've no problem with my camera (good picture) or for video recording (except strange ration for 720p).
I think it's maybe your LG black who has defect ?

I agree with guyTam

I mean with not good light conditions, all the pictures are blurry. I have read the same problem on other users. The video issue is probably because of the stock sd card.

That's with all phone cameras. They only work in perfect conditions. Sensor is too small for quality photo taking. Maybe with some Carl Zeiss, yes, you will get some nice looking photos.
Does that happen when you take landscape photos or with closer objects too?
I had similar problems with video recording but since started to use NOVA ROM, I don't any more. I have stock SD card.

No problems taking photos to landscapes, just in interiors and night pictures. I am using Pays rom, do you recommend me using nova? I am reading the thread and I thinks is still a little bit buggy?
Thank you

They both work better than stock. Tried both, I like Nova ROM more because of longer (by a lot) battery life. I don't play games so I don't know if they perform different speed wise. There is some bug with SD card but that's all.
If there will be some update for camera app, it will be from LG in next update (I hope). I don't think that anyone else can make any tweaks for stock app. Maybe some other app with filters like unsharp mask in Photoshop could do the trick.

that's what i've noticed also... whenever i take videos and play them on the phone's video player, it looks fine, but when i transfer it to my laptop it looks kinda weird.
btw, the 5mp camera takes very nice stills. best one i had so far.

yeah because the lens sensor is too small; ƒ, shutter speed, can't be compared to real camera & the preview is only 4 inches resized to 800x480 obviously it looks good on phone, for excellent result you may not move/shake at all while taking a shot (if it possible, use a tripod). if the outdoor light is not enough... it can't be helped. ISO adjustment just makes your result even worse. here the example for outdoor shot from my phone:

You are perfectly right

the aspect ratio of the videos recorded needs to be fixed, im surprised that LG hasn't fixed this after so long.
would be epic if devs managed to fix this before LG does

And the video format should not 3gp. The encoded results is horrible. Blurred, grainy, and awful audio quality.

I agree this one....the video format should be mp4.

I dont know what I did, But i just installed the stock rom after removing Nova. And surprisingly, the camera is taking awesome clicks. No speed lags for shutter/review. Aspect ratios seem fine for videos. And the video quality is amazingly improved.
Did someone just mention that Nova has better battery life ? What about pays ? hows the battery life on that ?

Xperia V night shots :(

Hi, 3 days ago I've bought my Xperia V. After having SGS2 I've expected better photos from phone with Exmor camera. Could You post some Yours photos from Xperia V made in low light ? My photos can be compared to those on this site http://knowyourxperia.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/xperia-z-vs-xperia-v-night-shots-compared/ Is this sensor so crappy ? Even Xperia S (one year old model) has got better camera. The quality of photos is not acceptable. IMHO the problem must be in software because Xperia with the same sensor makes better photos.
Please post some examples from Yours Xperia V in low light condition.

Dont use "AUTO' mode when it comes to Xperia, friend. You have to use manual and configure by yourself ^^

Use night scene. It is really good at low light. When you use auto, ISO is also auto and all hells brake loose
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

I'll try night scene and some manual settings however I was ex[ecting that Superior Automode will do much better photos. This mode makes very beautifull photos on Xperia Z. In conlusion - if manual settings would help then Sony should think to improve camera software on Xperia V. Camera should make beautifull photos out of the box like iPhone camera. Maybe it's not the best comparison however apple camera behave much better in low light condition. I know that it's not ther flagship but many people, like me, will buy Xperia V rather then Z because it's more more handy. Not all the people have pianist hands.

Do you know who manufactures the camera\sensor for iPhone 5?
Yep. Sony
Anyways.
Try using a different camera-app and modes.
I've taken many photos at night, and I'm overwhelmed by the light it absorbs.
I actually managed to take pictures of the Aurora Borealis.
Look for yourself (yes, they are choppy and of somewhat bad quality. but again, its a phone camera. but still one of the best if not THE best one out there.)

And so it's said. I've NEVER managed to take photos of the aurora borealis with a phone before, and I've tried with iPhone, SGS2, Xperia Arc S, Xperia S and the Lumia 800. The Xperia V was the first one where I actually saw some of the lighting take shape on the picture.

Awesome, thanks for sharing those pictures. While they may not be compared to professional shots, the fact that you took them with your phone makes them feel somehow "closer".

I have found Superior Auto mode to not be the best setting for the phone even though its supposed to its self automatically pick the best setting and through this setting it's automatic for when you use the sleep to snap function it shoots picks at 12 megapixels instead of 13 in this mode
Though I have a T and not a V I believe there close enough.

Yours photo is resized. Let me see 100% crop. from original size.

Extra resolution is there to allow editing and downsizing.
If you actually use full-size 12-13 Mpix photos anywhere outside of professional publishing and/or use smartphone photos for professional publishing, I don't really have anything to say that would not be insulting in one way or another.
The quality of a 12 Mpix smartphone camera image itself does not matter. What matters is what quality will a 1920×1600 (or less) image produced from it have.

Amazing Photo. What I've noticed. When making photo in night mode camera is not using high iso, it uses longer time to make photo. The problem is stabilization of camera

good hardware with poor software optimization. same goes with my xperia tx. i thinks they just to much compressed the image data make picture so poor. i think my old dead nokia n8 better take picture and video quality

We are missing something .... Personally i think , after updating JB camera quality get down ... reason is marketing ( selling Z ) later when we will get any JB update it will be fix ... maybe i am wrong ...

I also feel that my V's camera capability went down after updating to JB...

This was taken with hdr camera+ in quite low light.
Was comparing different camera apps last night.
Unfortunately the stock camera app either blurred it out, or fired flash and I got a blue white glare.

Personally I think that in most cases HDR are a bit washed out.
HDR processing engine in XZ is not the best (I know what I am talking about, been doing photos for years ... with 60D, now with 7D over a year, processing with PS CS3, CS4 and now CS5).
What do you think guys ?

personally I think it's not post-processing the HDR properly, it's just saving the last exposure, (the stock camera takes 3 the same as the hdr+ app) then combines them.
You can see the different ones appear in the thumbnail preview in the stock camera app when you take a hdr photo, the last one is the one that shows up.
Must have a look at the logs, see if there's anything obvious.

I wouldnt fully agree that it shows last from the 3. If it was, buildings would be properly exposed and the sky much over exposed. Like you can see this is not the case as the sky is still properly exposed.
Where to find these logs ?

[Xperia T] [Camera] Poor Camera Problem

I'm using Xperia T lt30p right now!
My current rom is:XperimenT 3.0
My phone's camera is so poor.I see something like cloud on display,the parts displayed on screen with blur pixel....it not clearly.And when I try to compare with IP5 I have an question?Why IP 5 had more wider angle than Xperia T,IP5 capture more space with same view.:crying::crying::crying:
Thank all!Please reply me!:crying::crying::crying::crying:

This is weird. My camera functions perfectly and is one of the best cameras I have come across. No clouding or blurring. Maybe your lens is scratched causing focal errors.

Currently Cyanogen is working out camera with xperia.

stock ROM i dun have a problem about the color, but compared to IP, IP has better color, but not sure about the print out quality
if you use other than stock ROM, i confirmed is the software, due to different software will have different quality

Okay honestly I didn't think you would go so deep into it but its probably due to noise reduction features. Did you try a third party app? Like Vignette maybe? Or a more advanced mod like camera fv-5 where you can control the ISO values

4.4.2 Camera quality poll

Ok guy's I wanted to start a poll regarding the camera quality since 4.4.2.
I love my nexus 5 but I found the camera when it was stock 4.4 was impressive even in low light with the flash, However because so many people were complaining about the speed of it taking shots (it didn't bother me as long as it took nice photo's) Now google have responded with 4.4.2 and speeded the camera shot process however the image quality has reduced by some margin even in well lit area's,
So basically this is a poll to gauge who wants to take better quality photo's or faster photo's
Personally I couldn't care less how long it took as long they were good quality photo's...

Makes me glad I got the phone about the same time 4.4.2 came out

Requesting new poll option: Use a different camera app and be able to do both. No need to be limited by the automatic settings.

I for one am not updating to 4.4.1, or 4.4.2. I have no complaints with the release software. Who gives a **** about how good the stock photos are. If you care even marginally about image quality then you should know how to properly edit a photo. Simple as that. I love this phone.

Day shots are as good as before, night shots are worse, more noise and it's just not impressive anymore. I'd take the slower shutter for night shots anytime, and keep the new behavior for daylight shots.

At least for me, low light camera shots look extremely better in HDR+ with the 4.4.2 update over the 4.4 release, but I can't tell a difference on day shots

That's exactly my point, I was extremely happy with stock 4.4, Camera was fine and video's were great so I'm gauging who prefers quality over speed of shots.
Question ? When your in the market for a compact camera what is end users primary concern ? How good the images are ? Or how fast it take shots ? Exactly point proved and judging from the results of the poll so far looks like I'm not alone either.

Agreed, they boosted the ISO because they increase the shutter speed in low light thus images turns up pretty noisy. What's the point of having OIS when it can't use it? It's better to have slower shutter and low ISO to make the image sharper and less noise in dark environment, just make the OIS more aggressive, come on Google don't fail me now

I came from the HTC One and iPhone 5s. I dumped both for the N5 that I purchased used that was already updated to 4.4.2.
The noise level is way too high. Day or night. Focus issues are still present. What's worst is that I can never get a clean, clear shot. I don't even want to transfer the images taken from the N5 to the computer because I know it will be a lot worse than what I see on my phone.
I purchased Camera Awesome. Didn't do anything to help with the issue. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to a better app to use? Or a mod for a previous version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I prefer faster shots. With 4.4 I almost went nuts... especially in dark areas it was almost impossible to focus. So for me I accept the 5% worse quality and get 100% faster shots.

Very impressed with day shots, have yet to try a night shot, but I did notice the screen was much darker.

Whatever they did to the camera they need to revert it. All photos shouldn't look like they were taken with an ISO of 800.
EDIT: It's worse than I thought. A relatively bright photo = ISO 1336.

I prefer the quicker photo's. I don't need a camera to take pictures of my dinner or a flower. Anyone who has kids is definitley enjoying the update.
If you look through the picture thread here the majority of the pics are people's food. I don't really need to keep a picture journal of what I eat. lol
