I know that the M7's camera is nothing to write home about, but some pictures I take come out very sharp and clear, others not so much. I took these two pics minutes apart and (obviously) in the same lighting conditions:

#1 is much sharper and clearer than #2. It seems the stock camera app will allow the image to be captured before the camera is finished focusing. Then it's hard to tell if the shot is truly in focus on the small screen. I go home and upload them for editing and find half the shots I take are slightly out of focus. Most of the pics I take are posed or of still subjects, so I don't need instantaneous shots. I'd rather have the app wait the extra split second and focus properly for the clearest possible image.
Is there any way to change the settings in the stock app, or a 3rd party app that will take clearer images? I don't mind spending a few bucks for a paid app if it's good.
Bump.
Anyone?

Sometimes i see that taken photos are partly blurred, even in good light condition.
I could understand this in lowlight, and if whole picture were blurred, but this taken in daylight and only in some parts. Example:

you can see a distant building is very sharp, and nearby road and fence is blurred
Guess what. It's called focus.
You can try and change the metering mode in TD2 to "average" instead of "center area".
The cursor in the middle of the screen tells what it is going to be focused.
I'm sorry if I'm being hard on you, but this is dead easy to be aware of. Basic stuff. Even our eyes focus.
Well man, certainly I'm aware what is focusing. But its really strange to hear such things from such "clever" boy. We are not discussing here mark ii with 85mm on 1.2 aperture... Its just a phone, everything further then 5 meters is in focus... Its more like to be slow processor and cmos sensor...
Like you mentioned, it's just a phone's camera with poor cmos sensor and processor.
Don't tell me you reached that conclusion only after my reply?
And again, partly blurred photo...

Thanks for the information. I have been looking at something similar, but much more expensive. I am going to try it out, also.
Here's some more effects lenses made by Jelly Lens: jelly-lens.com/index_ecat.php?cPath=1
Nice little item to have. Thanks!

This has all the lenses. I am going to pick up the wide angle too. Only 6 bucks for both might be fun.
i agree..it seems like an awsome acc to have around to get pics. mine is being shipped as we speak. should have it by saturday(or latest monday). i will take pics with it and show the effects of it.
Just bought them. Should be fun.
ok FINALLY got it...after almost 3 weeks. here are the before and after pics.

I also just got the wide angle lens and the macro lens. I have a Evo now but I will still try and get some pictures up. They work pretty good. Def worth the $6.
OK, so as we know some of us are having the lovely purple/pinky tint during shooting photos or videos.
For those who are lazy to go and replace it or for those who went out of warranty..
I found a desperate solution for it but it won't fix the whole thing. It may help you if you are posting pics in social sites and stuff like this.
OK I got this pic as u can see, purple..
Using Aviary, first go to settings and put the max size pic settings before doing this.
(Why? Our device will output a 4 megapixels photos so it won't take big sizes on the device)
Ok, go to Enhance, select color fix. Apply.
Then go to effects. I use the Sedona effect from the wanderlust category. Apply and save.
It's better than the original, not the best but it can help you.

I think inserting a "Taken with my HTC One Ultrapixel Camera" on all your purple pictures and posting to as many social sites as you follow may get HTC to pay more attention to the problem.
Hello
I have noticed when I record 4K video that every geometric things have an ugly distortion, like square or rectrangular forms (doors, pictures on the wall, master, etc...)
See my example on my Z3C:
The frame is completly rectangular in reality but in the screen (and in the final video) there is a strange result.

(The black in the middle is normal, made with Paint because family picture )
The wide angle theory is not good for me because the wide angle effect is not in this way but in the exact other way:
So, the usual question: Is that normal and have you that too?
Thanks
Not sure what you did to get it that bad, maybe angle or distance but I can see the same effect on my phone yes.
Fortunately my laptop is not that warped.

Try to take your computer screen and see the difference, have you the same results than me?
Look the difference between auto mode and 4k mode with ugly distortion:
AUTO:
4K:
EDIT:
With steadyshot the issue is not here, it's only in normal 4K.
All of the specs of this phone regardless of where you get them from (Google GSM Arena etc) all state that the camera has a main camera sensor of 50MP. But every picture I've taken so far has only come out at 12.5 MP.
Am I being thick, or does it only work in a special mode. For example I took this as a test this morning in 'Camera' mode.
The settings are full resolution/full image (4:3) and it only came out at 12.5MP as the screenshot shows.

How do you actually get 50MP images?
Thanks
Google uses pixel binning for the camera software where they combine every 4 pixels into 1 super pixel for superior quality. That's why the resulting image is 12.5mp instead of 50mp.
Thanks for that.
Just re-read the camera part of the GSMArena review and it says it clear as day there! Must have just skimmed that when comparing etc.
I must admit, I'm not a big taker of photos, but I saw the 50MP part and simply expected 50MP images.
I'm coming from a 4a so expected bigger images
