Hi to all
The OP3T is very strong phone. With good camera sensor and strong processor. But The stock camera app is very very bad. On Offical forum of OP they are so many bad comments about this stock camera app, but OP dont listen to us. Can someone PLESE make a ROM with better camera? We really need camera with much more features, camera with more video bitrates, with better slow motion and etc....
What we need:
Camera photo:
- Better photos,
- Better panorama,
- Better low light,
- Better HDR,
- HDR+
- Better & strronger HQ,
- Add HQ like Oppo camera for bwttee quality of photos,
- Etc...
Camera Video:
- Add more bitrate,
- Video with HDR on or of,
Slow motion:
- Add 1080p,
- Add 240 fps and 480 fps,
- Add more bitrate,
- Add better low light,
- Add function when to start action and when to stop,
- Add sound record,
- Etc...
Timelapse:
- Add bette low light,
- Add speed x2, x4, x8,
- Add more bitrate,
- Etc..
All this will take more storage, but we don't care, we just want a phone with good camera.
With ROM Cr Droid Nougat 7.1.1 you can record 240FPS at 720p but the video is still bad. It will be good if they make with more video bitrate, sond slowmotion and 1080p record.
We just want much better camera with much more features and better photo/video quality.
I think you are expecting a unicorn, not the rom version

This is the wrong forum. Posting should have been in q&a. Feel free to consult the sticky posting on forum rules
I don't know if this posting is just untoughtful or resepctless: if you look in the threads in this forum every dev here is trying to improve camera on their roms. Your posting shows a total lack of appreciation of their work.
I get the message in inbox:
"With ROM Cr Droid Nougat 7.1.1 you can record 240FPS at 720p but the video is still bad. It will be good if they make more video bitrate and 1080p record."
So they are a little hope. And I didn't post on wrong place. Because, thisnis question for developers, who builds ROMs.

Did you develop a rom or kernel??
No, then you're in the wrong place.
You asked a"question" which supposed to be in question and answer section.
It isn't really that difficult..

That's quite clear, isn't it?
Anyway:
Please rethink your attitude: I don't think you are motivating any dev by this posting. They are all trying their best to improve camera. Perhaps you can see it this way: which new information does your posting include? None. Do you really think, a dev spending months on developing his rom doesn't know the camera and the soc should be able to produce better pictures/videos? Do you think, they are all waiting for your posting, realizing that there is much work to do on the cam?
Bottom line: you are neither willing to read forum rules, nor the threads of the people you want to work for you (otherwise you would know, that they all are working on the issues you mentioned in your missplaced posting).

bad is a relative term. If you consider price how can you call it bad for what you get in the amount you pay. Look at everything else in the phone and be grateful. If you want a better camera go ahead and buy a 700$+ phone. People will always complain about the smallest fault rather than appreciate all the good you get from something. Do your research before buying a device and if you aren't happy move on!

The camera is not bad by any means. If you think it's bad, sell your phone and buy a pixel. Let someone else enjoy this phone.

I have the same opinion as you. For this price point the performance is superb, and the camera is really good.

I've gotten into arguments on the OnePlus forum about this, but let me repost my ****.
You, as the consumer, should decide if the pros and cons of whatever device you're buying is acceptable to you. If it isn't, find another device. If you didn't bother searching, don't complain. It's very simple.
I agree that at this price point the phone is amazing. On the other hand, the camera software would really need a little improvement. On the software side, not on the HW side.
this guy simply copy pasted a similar thread and topic on OnePlus forums

I've currently got a rooted HTC sensation which I'm due to upgrade. My choice is between the HTC one and the galaxy s4, but my choice seems to come down to the camera quality. Is the one camera really as bad as the reviews suggest?
I havent got any examples that I can post but the quality seems much crisper that my previous device (Sensation)
Low light shots seem ok and auto-focus seems to work much quicker. Zoe is also a nice feature!
link to the review?
Why create a new thread? There's at least 3 threads talking about the camera....... :banghead:

Are you just being lazy or just being a troll by opening a thread with a negative impact title? Hard to tell...Anyway, if really interested you could have looked at least at one photo thread which contains dozens of camera reviews.

No need to be like that, that thread has loads of pictures from all the one series. Not specifically the new one. And the various reviews I've read seem to conflict, some saying it's okay, others stating it's useless. Hence me asking for anyone's first hand experience with the phone now it's been released.
Start at the last page and work backwards, plenty of user pictures from the One.

Well, for serious photography I hang a DSLR around my neck and carry a couple of extra lenses in the backpack. For snapping a quick shot whilst I'm just pottering about or hanging with the guys the camera is far more than adequate.

Sorry man but today we have already seen a topic closed for plane trolling and in this context your thread title seemed a little out of line especially since there are already lots of user pictures and opinions available, i needn't speak about dozens of reviews. Didn't mean to be rude but next time better check first what info is available and maybe select a more appropriate title.
In my opinion i was expecting the photos taken to be a bit better but i am also quite optimistic about the fact that software updates might turn it into an excellent smartphone camera.

It's okay, not trying to bash the phone, just trying to find out which phone to upgrade to!
I saw that thread you're talking about and even commented a little, but unfortunately there were a couple of Samsung fanboys who turned it into a company vs company thread instead of just having unbiased comparisons between phones.
I don't have a decent camera, nor do I have the option to carry one around all the time since I'm normally dragging a couple of infants around with me, I'm not really an avid photographer either. I just want it to be at least as good as the one on my sensation since I do use it fairly regularly, but can't make my mind up on handset! I think I may have to just go into a phone shop and compare for myself.
Like I keep saying
The HTC One camera is an extremely well equipped camera, OIS, super fast shutter, low light ability, f2.0, wide angle lens, powerful macro ability, best HDR on phones, all combined gives a very powerful camera
However as usual with HTC it will still require manual efforts from ur side those camera settings are there to be used
Compared to your sensation its light years ahead of it, compared to the One X you loose something and gain something in return
Things to keep in mind always reduce sharpness in HTC cameras and for the One in specific auto enhance or contrast increase might be needed as well due to the extra light in its day light photos
But it's not match to the 13MP detail from the sgs4 camera purely in terms of resolution
I came from DHD, wife still has Sensation. We're in full agreement that the One takes much better pictures.

I am in similar position. For me which phone I choose next will be down to camera. One thing I missed after iphone was the way you cam trim videos before sending to get correct file size. As far as I am aware only htc on android can do this - forward to 1145 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23nQyOpixiU&feature=youtube_gdata_player.
I will no doubt get the one but camera is a worry as htc are not really promoting it in any adverts I have seen so far in uk. More blink and boom ?? Waiting for 64gb too but if we ever get it who knows ???
The camera thread is great but I am now info overloaded so really have to go test one in more depth.

Do you use digital zoom or lot, or blow up pics after you make them? IMO, this is the weak point of the camera. It's lens is 28mm (35mm film equivalent) and you don't have the latitude to zoom that you would with more MP. Personally, I am more a telephoto guy than wide angle so it bugs me, but everyone is different.
(I decided to punt and keep my S3 for now. Camera plus questions on headphone audio. Mixed feeling though, as I really like the low light attributes and boomsound speakers.)
Just wait until release and judge for yourself and decide if it's really an amazing camera.
I have never, in too many years to mention, used a digital zoom. Never saw the point in stretching one sensor pixel to fill 4, 9, 16 or more final image pixels.
Sent from my Tricked out HTC One via xda-developers application
Yeah, digital zoom is terrible regardless of the camera used. I do however sometimes zoom in on my photos, which I assume won't be much good with the one.
Afraid that zooming after the event won't get you anywhere with the One. Granted, although my phone's have progressed from being a phone/txt device that could play snake when I was bored all the way to a miniature computer that can make calls as well I've never viewed them as a camera replacement. Hell, you can get a little 8Mp snapper that's smaller then current headline phones for a fraction of the cost AND they've got optical zoom with a lense that retreats into the body of the camera when you put it back in your pocket.

HTC One vs Samsung S3 - audio recording comparison
Hello everyone,
I've been looking for low light video tests of the HTC ONE on youtube for quite a while and I noticed that most of the low light videos are laggy, like 20fps.
I have contacted HTC support and they told me that no customer has ever reported such an issue, so they are not aware of this.
I currently do not own this phone but I am looking forward to buy it.
If anyone of you can take a "laggy" video and send it to htc it would be great.
http://www.htc.com/www/contact/email/
If the issue has been fixed in a software update, which I don't seem to find any information about, please tell me.
If anyone has sent a ticket to HTC, please post a reply.
Hello,
I did send them an inciendiary email a few days ago. Still waiting on a reply from them.
How can they say no one reported it ? I'm pretty sure some people in these thread did :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259124
Anyway, all report the lag, time they fix this crap so we can use our phone the way it's supposed to. There's already enough problem with focus as it is, we don't need no stinky laggy videos.
It's just different companies prioritizing different things. The One tries to get in enough light regardless of what it has to do, and that means fluctuating frame rates in low light video. The S3, S4 and Lumia do different things in where they force 30FPS, but in return you get much less light in, making the video darker. But the phone is still plenty new, and we can all hope that HTC would give us an option for what we want, shutter speed priority mode please
v1,27 wasn't so laggy like v1,29 atm. I think they can do it better, but it's ok for me.

Lumia 920 does the same job at 30fps. The Galaxy S4 and the iPhone have an inferior sensor.

Thank you for the link to the thread that already covers this topic. We do not need two threads about this.
Surely just change the exposure?
Can't. Exposure settings are ignored in video mode. Which you would have learned if you had read the other thread. The one that the OP should have also read before starting this one.
Does the iso setting affect video quality/framerate in any way?
Is anyone else seeing poor-quality photos from their Mi MIX? I am running AICP 8.1.0, Android v.8.1.0 & have terrible quality photos from the back camera. I've tried many different camera apps (can list them all if needed), but that makes no difference in quality.
Can someone please help me out with this? I'd rather keep using my Mi MIX, but if the photos are really going to be this poor... It's really not worth it.

The mix is notorious for having a poor camera sensor. There are a couple apps to make it more palatable though.
Snap Camera (as referenced in the guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69874997)
And the Google camera +HDR mod, which you can find linked/referenced in various threads here in the mix forums.

Thanks. I think I tried those apps, but I'll give it another shot. I just gave Resurrection Remix a try, & was just getting camera force closes there. I'm going to try stock MIUI one more time, otherwise go back to AICP so I can have a working AOSP(-ish) ROM.
I completely understand getting poor photos, but the performance I'm seeing is beyond that. The photos I take are more usable. Not sure if you had a chance to check those that I posted above.
Among the last version of Resurrection Remix and I lost focus and what I mean by that is it will not focus so it's kind of sucks
Hi everyone.
I have spent last 4 weeks to make short video using Note 9 exclusively. The idea was to check how far I can get using mobile phone camera only and get result which would be satisfying for YT or even further. Note 9 seemed to me the best for the purpose. To do so, I sent my Note 9 120 meters to the sky attached to the drone, drowned it in a pond and finally travelled around Yorkshire in UK to get some footage. As a result I just published today video on YT and my main interest is to find out if people can really say difference. I have used Davinci Resolve in post production. Colours are changed slightly to make it look “film like”.
I didn't want to make just moving pictures so there is a story. Don't judge me too harsh however.. I am not an actor.
During the process of filming I have learnt a lot about note 9 camera and I believe I could make much better quality video now. It made me sure that it is possible to make quite serious production
with modern mobile phone if one wish to.
I hope everyone enjoy it.

well... I did. The water wasn't my biggest concern though... My biggest concern was when Note was attached to the drone 120 meters above me... This phone is huge... and made a huge resistance in the air... and because delicate suspension I had to construct and use to eliminate vibrations I was in constant fear it will detach from the drone and .... well ... I don't want even consider what would happen...
I am not very big on YT, so do not expect plenty of views but really appreciate your comment. Thanks
I've done a few videos with the Note 9 so far and have found it to be exceptional.
See here: https://youtu.be/k-15LfCyyNg Including use of all slow motion modes as well. (Gets real dramatic around 4 minutes)
My BIGGEST complaint is the algorithm used for choosing either the telephoto lens or if there's not enough light it uses the wide lens with a sensor crop/digital zoom. In great daylight the telephoto looks just as crisp as the wide, but even the slightest bit of darkness, even pointing it directly at a sunset (seen here: https://youtu.be/jmApdV_P6Hk) and it flips over to the wide with a crop ruining the consistency. As most have noted, this same crap happens in "pro" mode as well.
I really wish in at least pro mode, Samsung would let the creator choose. I can mitigate sensor noise, I can't really mitigate lack of resolution.
Very well done on the film above! I'm impressed. Did you use Filmic Pro or the stock camera app and get the anamorphic crop in post?

Very nice videos of yours.
My idea was to make video with camera settings as they are. So I used original camera app at fully automatic. The only changes I have made were in post production
and I used Davinci Resolve 15 for both - adjusting colours and anamorphic crop.
I agree with you that "pro" mode should be fully pro I have not noticed the problem you described though. I need to check it.
My conclusion is that actually whatever we will say about mobile phone's cameras they are so good nowadays that with a bit of effort everyone can make videos like mine or yours ..
Bought this phone yesterday. I'm new to Samsung. I had seen and read a lot of reviews and articles, and all were very positive about the camera, but in my experience its very disappointing. Especially the front facing camera. It's always blurry, and what is up with all that smoothing out??? Even when it's off it just does the same. I haven't changed any special settings. After looking for a solution I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this. Is this just a question of taste, or is there really something "broken" at the moment with this camera?? I'm really considiring returning this phone. 1000€ and this is the picture quality I get?
I paid considerably less than 1000€ a week after launch, I think I'd return it if I paid that much. I've had some good photos from the camera and also less impressive ones, it seems Pro mode is the place to be.
Yes the selfie cam sucks. Too much post processing causing the smoothing effect. I'm not an Instagram model, I don't need to look airbrushed.
The rear shooters though can produce some really nice pics.
It's the software that causes issues. The hardware is solid.
The other option is to download GCam which uses Google's HDR Processing from the Pixel devices. It produces really nice photos. Some GCam builds have Night Sight working as well.
You might find this link useful for installing GCam, it seems to be a bit hit and miss, the camera works for a little while and then just force closes every time it's launched.

I hear the point about Gcam download as an option but I really feel I should not need to download additional software to make up for Samsung's lapses. We buy this device cos we love it and desperately want it to work, guess Samsung makes them only to get our money... not rocket science who the real losers are !

Now if these problems can be fixed with future updates that would be great, but is there communication from Samsung about this? And can this be fixed with (near) future updates.

The only likely upgrade would be Samsung's take on Night sight, I wouldn't expect any miracles.
Guys, hey, HW is solid as someone said, i also have some issues with cam quality, i thing that we must wait till we have pie update and then see what changes. Like im working with audio eq and for example player FIIOX5 III sounds quite bad at beggining, but later firmware updates makes it much better. So i thing - wait for software update and then decide to do something with it or ask for refound.

thx for your input
It's been hit and miss too for me, coming from a Pixel 2 XL.
Things are considerably better since I use the Arnova's Gcam port (better than my Pixel 2 XL in fact), and it made me realize Samsung's app/post-processing is the issue, not the Note 9 camera/sensor
Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board and do something about that agressive, over the top post-processing. Like I said, Gcam produces way better, more natural looking like pics, and most of all, they're not blurry (faster shutter time with Gcam maybe?)

Have you tried the one via official XDA
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
Is there difference with the Arnova port?

More features like Advanced HDR+ and Night Sight are working for me with Arnova's builds vs the one you just posted.

Can you post some sample pics? This phone is consistently rated as one of the top cameras on the market and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. In good conditions it's hard to say that it's any worse than my DLSR with expensive lenses. Night shots are excellent too. If your rear camera is as bad as you claim, perhaps there is a hardware problem? The front camera does apply a lot of post processing (which I'm not a fan of either) but you can turn most of it off.
TLDR: either you have an actual hardware problem or insanely high expectations, the camera on this phone is just about the best on the market. When I say that it comes close to my DSLR, I'm not kidding.

I added a screenshot. Do you install the first one or the second one?
Edit: the first one force closes every time, and the second one doesn't have all options it seems, like night vision en HDR+

That's the one you want: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3d_TlnNeun_2.apk
If it force-closes on launch, that's because it was installed over an older version, just clear data + cache and relaunch, it will work
Reading some of these comments . . . The stock camera app takes fantastic looking pictures IF the subject is not moving. Try taking a picture of your kid or pet doing anything BUT standing still and the photo is a blurred mess. Wish the shutter speed was faster smh not holding my breath on Samsung fixing it thru an update

Use Pro mode if you want to be able to specify your shutter speed, I find the raw's are pretty good once they've had some basic touch-ups.
