Hello.
I've been looking around the settings in manual mode, and the iso there only goes to 3200, but if am not mistaken, the camera should support iso 12800 as well, don't suppose anyone know where to find that setting?
I have the same exact question

It will use ISO 12800 when you're using Superior Auto; I'm not sure how to invoke it otherwise.
What tells you its using ISO 12800 in Superior Auto? Kinda weird if that's the only place it's used...

only on the output image, look at EXIF
you can't manually select ISO 12800, only force/trick it in Superior Auto
maybe root+xposed/camera mods would fix it
Or in low light conditions, go to Manual, Scene, High sensitivity. It will choose iso 12800 if it's dark enough. And I find the results quite impressive.
change tge resolution and check.
ISO setting at 20.7 mp extends upto 3200. At 8 mp, it extends upto 12800.
Need to set cam to Manual, 8mp, High ISO sensitivity. It will use 12800 ISO if it is really dark.

HI, guys. I have a new Z1 on the way. I have read and seen comparisons that claim that the auto modes introduce a lot of noise and that, while the camera is capable of great shots, the software often lets it down.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the best manual settings are to use. I know they will be different for each setting (dark settings, etc.), but is there a go-to group of manual settings that you use most of the time rather than superior auto?
Thanks!

In manual mode you must stop breathing to not shake the device and capture best detailed photo with less or no noise.
You can also disable flash and use exposure to capture bright photos without flashlight.
You can select manual ISO, which is for light sensitivity. Or....
The ISO number is how sensitive to light the camera
is. It's descended from film cameras, then it would be
how sensitive the chemicals were. The higher the ISO
setting the more light your camera picks up, useful
for low light conditions. However, as the ISOs get
higher so does the amount of 'noise' (visible pixels
that aren't supposed to be there) on your photos. It's
up to you to decide what's a suitable level of noise
and how sensitive you need your camera for each
particular photo.
in other terms
The ISO function sets the light sensitivity of the
camera's image sensor (this is similar to the speed
rating of film. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive
the image sensor and therefore the possibility to take
pictures in low-light situations.
If you find the camera is using a shutter speed that is
too slow (1/60 sec. and slower) to handhold the
camera steady and shake-free then you might select
the next higher ISO which will then allow you to
select a faster shutter speed.
F-stop is the measure of the aperture setting on a
lens. The greater the number, the less light it allows
in, which means the aperture gets smaller, making the
depth-of-field more extensive.

We can edit the aperture? HOW??

LOL, we can't edit aperture and this guide was not only for Xperia Z1 's manual mode but every camera is.

Hope you didn't had a heartattack!
Do you guys have any opinions on what the best camera mode is for general shooting?
I'm trying to pick between Superior Auto, Manual 8MP and Manual 20.7MP.
Thoughts?
My pick is 20.7 MP with image stabilizer enabled, better results without it if you have a steady hand.
I use no scene, auto white balance (unless the auto gets it wrong), 20.7 MP, multi metering mode, image stabilize enabled.
To increase sharpness and reduce noise I then downsample the image to a width of about 3500px using Irfanview, because it's much better than Sony's crappy oversampling algorithm that it uses for the 8MP images.

Hello
The default camera app only uses the max ISO while at superior auto And at 8 MP...
With manual mode you can only use 3200 of it...again at 8 MP.
For me sounds not very nice...I used Xposed Module(20MP superior auto) to make superior auto at 15.5 MP and have high ISO but I noticed it will again lower the max ISO...
I want max res (for me 15.5 @16:9) with max ISO...
So now I'm starting to dig in camera app to see if that controls the ISO (so I mod it and make it better) or something else...
Anyone having an idea that what controls the ISO?
Kernel?
Something at build.prop?
Or camera app?
Or it is a hardware limited?

Max ISO just fills the picture with noise.
I don't understand why you want to make the ISO so high, it just makes the picture quality worse, where are you going to take photos, a coal mine?
@Didgesteve
Hehe no...NO...not to make it always at max...
When at 8 MP the camera max ISO can go to 12800 at night in auto mode...but at 15.5 it will not...it will limit it to something like 3200 I think
I just want to delete the limiter or adjust it to use the full ISO at 15.5 if needed...
I like taking pictures at night...you try it yourself...sometimes it's very nice that you see what your eyes even can't see at nights...
Have any ideas where the ISO is controlled?
I saw a lot of codes at the camera app written in binary to adjust the ISO... Idont know what to do with binary codes...for example this line:
field public static final cam_strings_iso_12800_txt:I = 0x7f0901ed
Any ideas?
Just wondering Why sony won't let camera app to manual ISO when use more than 8-megapixel resolution
because when i use 23-megapixel sometime i wan't to use lower ISO which i can't manual selected
so i have to switch to use 8-megapixel which kind of weird to me as i have 23-megapixel camera
but i have to use lower resolution to get the photo in the way i want..
Thanks sony.
Hi,
first of all sorry for my bad English. It is not my mother tongue.
I have updated to Nougat (361 EU cust) and I have realised that there is a bug in the camera. In pro mode, when you set ISO manually, the shutter speed doesn't go below 1/17 if set automatically. That happens in low light situations. Also, if you try to set manually speed shutter, what you see in the screen doesn't get refreshed, so you don't know if you are exposing right. And more, in that situations Raw archives get so much noise and you aren't able even to correct that in Lightroom.
Also, in normal mode, in low light situations, the camera increases ISO but it can't change shutter speed more than 1/17.
Some others are suffering the same. We are talking about that in a Spanish forum. Do you suffer the same bug? Could you check it?
Thanks in advance
Here ISO is set manually and speed automatically https://goo.gl/photos/7cpoVJ7HNL4W5JZx6
Raw. ISO and shutter speed set manually, but calculating. The screen was as in the previous photo https://goo.gl/photos/2BU1sX5v9Tdbae3u9
