[Q] Can some one give me screenshots ?

Can someone who has Xperia T with Jelly Bean on, give a screenshot of a picture with Bravia on, and another screenshot of that pic with Bravia off ? Please, can you give me that? Even if Bravia doesn't work, I still want to see it myself.

Is it just me or the 2 pictures are the same ?

I don't see a difference either
Did I help? Please press the thanks button

1) to see a difference, you will need your monitor screen not pushing the extremes of contrast and brightness. Most ppl at work use high contrast so that text looks clear against a white background.
2) Do not expect to see a different between BE1 and BE2 as if the difference was large enough Sony would demonstrate that way!

Both pictures look the same because, if my limited graphic manipulation knowledge doesn't fail me, both are exactly the same. You can check this by loading both pictures as different layers, inverting one of them, and "adding up" the layers. You will end up with an empty image, because they cancel each other out perfectly.
I believe Bravia Engine is a software layer that handles how images are displayed on screen, therefore taking a screenshot would not be affected by it, since the underlying file is the same.
The only way to measure the difference would be to take a photo of the screen with another device, obviously locking white balance, exposure, etc. between the two shots.

Both pictures are pixel to pixel equivalent. And they should be, as screenshot taken from screen buffer, and that's before BE starts to change colours...

I prefer Bravia OFF, colors seem more natural. Also it seems Bravia engine applies a sharpening filter, which produces an ugly effect on the tulip fields shot.

This is not BE ON VS OFF, those devices don't even have comparable screen panel.

@maxboy:
You just need to turn on BE, take a screenshot of the picture. Then you turn off BE, and take another screenshot of the same picture. Compare it.

I think what maxboy meant was that the S3 and XT dont have the same screen. S3 has a much more responsive and vivid super AMOLED as in Organic LED, while the XT has simple TFT LCD. The XT makes up for this screen quality by the higher PPI and Bravia Engine itself.

I was comparing the images in the OP's dropbox folder, which are supposed to be from the same device.

Can't compare
Dude you can"t compare that, the Xperia T and the S3 have different screens, take a photo with and without BE on the Xperia if you want to show this to us.

Isn't that exactly what he did? Check the dropbox link.

[Q] [Need help] Z C6602 Camera problem

hi guys, i've recently recieved a Xperia Z C6602 as present
been using it for a couple week now
great phone, however
just a moment ago, i was tried to take some night photo shots
and found a small problem with the camera
hope if anyone could help me, coz it's kind of annoying
the HDR and all the other function seems to work fine
photo under auto ISO setting is no too bad
however with the manual ISO setting (with or with out HDR engaged...)
i have found that the displayed image on the phone screen before photo taken, from ISO 100 ~ ISO 400
is actually much darker then the actual photo taken!
but the ISO 800 ~ ISO 1600 seems to be with out this issue (and ofcoz auto ISO also do not have this problem)
for example
[ISO 100]

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[ISO 200]
just wondering if anyone have the same problem?
is this a bug for the camera? or is this normal?
i had a bit of look online but didn't find much in regard to this issue
tried to play with the setting, changing the photo size, still didn't help
i really love taking photos
was using HTC ONE MINI before this
and changed to Z now with much higher res, it's awesome
but this problem with the display before taking photo is actually very annoying
for that, i can not see clearly, and predict the outcome of the photo this way
can anyone please help?

bump....

tried to contact sony, haven't got anything back from them yet....

[Q] Best shot feature

Anyone know how to use this feature? I'm looking in the gallery at some pictures I took with the phone, but I don't see an option. Is there something I need to turn on in the settings?

Also trying to use it, but it never suggests the "best shot"...

It happened once for me. It's more hit or miss I think. But what I think is best shot will occur mainly with a person. So if the person moves while you're taking a photo, it'll have another photo that may be better

I'm fairly certain it's only an active feature. When you go to take a picture, it actually takes multiple pictures and you can choose right then which is the best. I know the HTC One had something similar to this, and there's a video showing how theirs works, so I'm assuming it's the same on the X2.

I'm going with the guess that they haven't rolled out that feature to their camera or gallery app yet.

It is definitely on the phone, I've gotten it once. Their recommended picture had a slightly less blurry hand then on what I snapped

It didn't ask me after I took the photo but when I went to view the image?

The telephoto camera is only used when the scene is bright enough though, otherwise the phone falls back to its main camera with a 2x digital zoom (which gives better results anyway in low-light scenes)

is there a way of checking which camera it is using?
from my checking it never uses it.

Hold your finger over the lens? You will be able to tell which one is being used.

In that case it uses only the main camera all the time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on Samsung's page it says its a 2x optical zoom.

It only works on the classic photo mode, not the pro one (which I don't know why)
