Hi!
I know the camera is a bit problematic on the Z3C, but I was wondering if anyone has any hints regarding how can you take better pictures using manual mode and in what conditions.
I'm using the stock camera.
Thanks!

Didnt know if i should have made seperate threads for each question... Here goes:
Camera
-+---+----+
- is this same camera as SG2? Seems better
- i noticed the galaxy nexus' camera takes multiple single shots at a very high succession rate.. is that contributed because of diff cameras or ice cream sammich's awesomeness?
- i also notice that when im taking photos, it looks amazing right before the shot..(veeeeery sharp) but right after i take the shot, the photo loses its ultra sharpness.
- i also notice this happening on all of my previous android phones
- is this a samsung/android camera app thing? are there better camera app alternatives?
TouchWiz
-+---+----+
- I know theres themes and all that funk for other launchers.. but any way to modify/theme TW? .. I love TW and wouldnt really change anything other than theme it.

Can only answer that the lost focus in taking pictures may be due to shaky hands, focusing mechanism becomes confused as a result..there is a setting which allows for shake reduction; try it, see any differences?
Everytime I see a camera question/comment I am always curious about the issue. Someone always suggests a fix like the one below, whether it's use or settings.
I'm not blaming the respondents, but people need to understand that there is a problem with SOME Notes concerning autofocus. I keep coming back here to try to find a possible software solution, but it's very possible one of the camera vendors simply supplying Note cameras with bonky autofocus in the hardware.
I appreciate the fact that MOST Notes appear to have wonderful cameras, so to those of you, please be aware there is no simple solution to fixing the camera problem that SOME of us are experiencing.
Note (ha!) also that this extends to the Galaxy SII. There are a couple threads in their forum discussing similar camera issues, even though the two phones have different camera modules, and lack of progress getting Samsung to even acknowledge there could be a problem.

anti-shake won't work if you set some parameters especially the ISO value manually! reason: anti-shake does nothing more then trying to reduce the "shutter time", for that higher sensitivity is needed. therefore, if the cam is not being able to use a higher ISO setting anti-shake wont be available!
I just saw a phone yesterday Samsung Nexus Prime I9250 and the camera is almost same as our phone 5MP with LED flash. but the features and quality of the pictures capture by it was awsome. Then I checked it has update of Android 4.2.2. Its panorama shooting mode is awsome. Is that possible that we mode our default camera to that features camera?? And if anybody has done already then could anyone provide me link? I checked all the threads reg. camera but could not find it so, I created a saprate thread for that.
I suppose you're talking about the galaxy nexus. It has a better sensor. It is capable of capturing 1080P video and also, it performs better at low light.
There aren't any software mods which can totally compensate for hardware limitations. However, you could try installing certain camera applications and see if it helps you in any way.
And regarding the panorama you're taking about, it's called photospehere. As far as my knowledge serves, we do not have any mod for that.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but when you have the camera on auto, it takes pics at only 8MP.I also can't find anywhere to change this, unless you go into manual mode.
Anyone know how to change this? Quite sucky as this is one of its biggest selling points!

AFAIK the 20MP resolution is only available in manual mode and there is (yet) no way to enable it in other modes.
IIRC the 8MP resulting images are due to the sensor taking the picture at 20MP and down sampling, using the extra pixels to smooth out motion etc.

Hi all,
I am currently owning Sony Xperia P and I am thinking about an upgrade to SP. But one problems remain. Camera.
I have read a ton of reviews and it seems that camera is producing pictures with a lot of noise and that the camera of older model P, is actually, better.
I have seen that people say that some custom roms and mods solve this issue, but nothing concrete.
Can you please tell me your experiences with camera? Is it really that bad? Any of the updates solved the problem?
thanks

I'm using the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition camera (gallery app) and this solves any problem with the camera(you can use it on stock and all other roms), from autofocus to noise. So I'd say dont worry about it and get this amazing phone!
Produces great pictures. But besides that, it still is a phone, not a professional camera hehe.

Can you put here some samples of photos taken with stock camera and this S4 camera? Some in dim conditions and some in bright conditions. You know. Some kitchen photos, some landscape with blue sky, etc...
thanks !

No.
Edit: There is other threads about this and not only on XDA. Look before asking or get a real camera.
its true that the camera of Xperia SP is not that good compared to XP or S3.
the pictures are very noisy and yellowish and in low light the camera get more worse.
i have also tried S4 play edition camera, camera 360, moto x camera but no major difference.
I'm looking at this phone but I'm wondering just how the camera is. Perferably with the Google camera apk. Anyone have some samples with stock or gcam?
Let's just say the camera is not the strongest feature of the phone. I come from a p7 expecting to have the same quality but actually it's worst. Hopefully it's only a software problem
Im facing dust inside my rgb sensor camera and found that many have complained in lenovo forum that they are also facing same issue. Is anyone else facing the same please check both lenses by applying flash light at an angle in a dark room. If you are not having this issue then are you using any case for your phone or any type of cover.

Camera is not that much good. It's average. Using custom roms makes the camera even more pathetic. That's the reason why why I'm still on stock rom. Hope its only software issue.
