Timeshift video issue (light) ? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!!!
I have a weird issue with my camera app. When I'm in a room with artificial light or low light, I mean not in the dark but not with the perfect light, at the end of the day for example. All the camera modes have awesome results, thanks Sony sensor BUT when I use the Timeshift video mode the result on the screen is very ugly and the light is very low.
Can you tell me if it's normal? When I use the Timeshift burst the result is good like the auto mode, manual mode, etc...
But the Timeshift video is very low light. When I'm in low light conditions, the auto mode and others take good pictures (not perfect but good for the poor light) and the Timeshift video mode is almost dark!
See the difference in same scene, AUTO VS TIMESHIFT VIDEO :

Thanks !

As far as i know, this is done to achieve higher frame rates. Like, go to video mode and try 1080p 60 fps. You'll see it's darker than at 30 fps

Yes you're right! So it's normal? No need to return my Z3C?

not at all. In order to achieve higher framerates the ''shutter'' doesnt stay iopen as long thus not as much light is getting in. Completely normal. dont worry about it.

Thank you guys

what does anti banding do for my pictures?

Just throwing it out there that, if it's to compensate for refreshrates, it should probably be named "anti-flicker" and not anti-banding. If I see banding in reference to images, I generally associate it with the image not being properly blended and each separate shade being easily identifiable.
Does anyone have an old CRT monitor or tube TV they can try 'off' vs '50, 60, or auto' with? Submit the results, pics or it didn't happen. I don't know if this is the case
Banding is pattern of vertical line in photo. And banding is digital imaging artifact. And banding happens in some extreme or special exposure or conditions. To avoid these pattern you can use Anti-banding feature of camera.
Alright, necroing in...
My device is Yu Yureka CM12.1. But what I've noticed is that the Anti-banding option doesn't change anything when I take the picture of, say my led monitor. But changing the ISO setting does. If we set ISO manually to a higher value like 800, bands will make the image ugly. Even lesser ISO values have banding, but to a small degree. Setting an Auto ISO mode solves the issue. I don't know the technical reasons behind it.
Here's a photo of my led monitor with ISO set to 800:

[Q] Can someone post front camera pictures, particularly in low light?

Hello all,
I would like it if some people could share pictures from the front-camera, particularly in low-light (it does not have to be a selfie ). This is because I am worried about the performance of my front camera because even though it says it is ISO 320 in the EXIF, the quality looks to be smudgy and really soft (even though I turned off the soft skin and stabilizer setting in Manual mode).
I know that its only 2MP but still, the quality of it in low-light as compared to good light is really significant. So I would like to confirm if this is just me or also the others..
Btw, I have a Clear Screen Protector so I'm not sure if that might also be contributing..
Thanks!!

You are not incorrect. The front camera, even worse than the back one, suffers from noise, grain, oversharpening artifacts, blurring, and washed out colors.

Hm, bummer. I wonder if its software again or if its just the nature of front facing cameras? Weird thing is front facing video seems to be alright..
Thanks man!
I noticed this on front facing camera, my gf has z1 I have s3 and mine wins hands down

As you'll be able to see in the pic, in low lights or even a bit of light the camera has very much noise like burning fire no matter what mode I am using superior auto or manual but when I change ISO to 400 the noise tends to almost disappear but still does, so by not messing things up is this a common software issue? I had tried several camera apps all are the same is this software or hardware/lens issue? I am running on latest 2.257 firmware

Erm, could you post a few actual pictures please? The viewfinder does NOT display the quality of eventual images as it does not apply any processing. The view from the viewfinder will always be hella-noisy. (that's a term, right? Down with the kids, me )
Actual results can be as good as this:

[Q] [UPDATED WITH SAMPLES] Best camera app?

Hi there,
first of all excuse me if the question was already posted but currently I'm unable to search: "Search is temporary unavailable".
I'm not satisfied about stock camera, I mean 50% of times takes great shots but most of times it fails, I tried "manual mode" but for fast shots I always missed the Moment.
Right now I'm using ProCapture, FV5, Camera Zoom FX
Here some shoots: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x20hdehuizwewi5/8AWuFiitsu

Notes
1. FV-5 has problems with touch to focus, can't get really the correct point you touch.
2. Camera Zoom FX has a nice steady stable shoot feature (configured with high, and .5 secs)
3. Manual was: iso auto, scene: none, stabilizer: no, metering: center, hdr: no
4. for all wide and 8mb (100% jpg quality, super fine quality (for apps that support that))
What about you? What camera app do you prefer? Settings?

Question Google Pixel 5a camera shutter speed mark and Video recording stop after 1 min in 4k mode

Hello,
I bought a pixel 5a device 1.5 months ago. Frankly I have to say Phone speed , image quality , sound quality , ram management , battery backup, display everything is super fine for me . But unfortunately my pixel 5a's camera have some major issues . I didn't find any solutions for these issues though I mailed google support team several time also report an issue through feedback apps but no luck. My issues are :
1. Whenever I'm going to take a photo in low might mode or room light there's some (maybe 3-4) bars appear in my camera screen which is called as camera shutter speed mark.
2. In 4k mode video recording I'm not able to record a video more than 1.20 -1.30 minutes . After 1.30 minutes it shows that my device is too hot close camera until device is cools off.
so I want to know is there anyone who also facing the same issues like me ? and what is the solutions for these issues?
Thank You .

The overheating in 4k is a common issue from my understanding. My solution unfortunately was to switch video to 1080. It seemed to resolve that issue but needs to be fixed. I'm not a huge fan of 4k video, but know others have it. If a product offers a feature that feature shouldn't be crippled by hardware shortfalls.
