Will the camera ever improve,great outdoors,poor indoors
I don't think it will improve much as for this price you are not going to get low light performance of pixel or s8. Manual mode is another option but you'll need very stable hands or a tripod.

Fast burst camera paper camera are two can be found on google play
Camera 360 is pretty good. Some nice effects. Lapse it is excellent for time laps photography and there is an app called long exposure that is pretty good for doing long exposure shots, the only problem is the camera must be kept perfectly still when using the last two.

Hello, a few days ago I got my xperia T with ics and was surprised by the better dan average camera on this phone, that same day I also received the update to jelly bean (yeuy!) but now I noticed that the max resolution is just 12mp,still not bad, but not a good thing for Sony, as they advertise that's it's a 13mp shooter.
What are you thoughts about it?
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
set camera to NORMAL instead superior auto and you will be able to shoot 13MP photo...
Thank you!

Every time you turn on HDR you will "lose" that megapixel. Since the "superior auto mode" is capable of using HDR at will, the resolution is reduced as well.
Can someone point me in the right direction. I have An HTC One, an iPhone 5 and the newest addition is my AT&T Galaxy Note 3. The problem I'm having is my HTC One takes the best pictures by far (day or night) I have read up on the GN3 and the camera, I've read that you have to set the camera at 13mp and to get better quality at night the stabilizer needs to be on. But still the pictures at best look 6 out of 10 maybe. Thank you.
The pictures I get of my kids with this device has better picture quality than any device I've owned so far. Even motion shots are unbelievably clear and crisp

If you don't mind me asking, what were your camera settings for that photo? Also how's your photos at night?
I have all those and a iPhone 5s and don't see them having pictures like you make it sound.

Yeah, maybe I have something set wrong. Is there any ideas you could give me?
The default resolution is set at 8mp. Open the camera and go to settings and select the 13mp option. You can also switch to 4k recording in the camcorder settings though for me it limits video to 5 min lengths.

I have stock z1 and was wondering what is the absolute best settings for manual mode and maybe auto. I know you can't change much in auto. Thanks in advanced

There is no absolute best setting because of various different scenes you could be taking. for example a good setting for a shot during the night would be poor for a good lightning portrait. auto mode tries to detect the best settings for the shot you are currently taking.
When taking a landscape you need hdr to smooth out the overly bright sky contrasting the land.
I find auto to be very good and I use it almost always. If you want to learn more Google for example " how to use DSL camera"
the cameras are different but the principle is the same and so are the adjustable settings.

Don't you worry about not having the full 20mp since auto is only 8?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
I mostly use my camera on Manual mode, even in the evening and low light conditions.
I use the 15MP setting. Then, you can choose Exposure on the left side of the screen and the White Balance. When you have the right WB (you will surely chose the one that best fits YOUR eye, you can try changing the Metering settings. These are really great for many shots like portraits and Macro photos. You can search for Metering settings on the Internet. Last thing I chose is the ISO sensitivity. For brighter scenes you can decrease it, but for low light you can make it higher to catch more light.
Try out these settings in any possible way, you will upgrade your knowledge in photography, but the possibilities are endless.
All the best.
:good:
It will always depend on the scenario. But I always use 8mp 4:3 aspect ratio.

You mean Nexus 6? I use stock.
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/01/1...ext-purchase-if-you-own-a-nexus-5-or-nexus-6/ looks promising but lack of features.
Gives me hope that a better camera software will be available because stock takes awhile to take a shot.
I'm using Camera FV-5. I love the DSLR type controls.

16:9 would be nice. Obviously there will be no HDR + which I use mostly... Not sure if they'll do true HDR in the future.
i use the google camera and aosp camera. a better camera is good, since they started using the api2 with it. but it has an issue with focusing at the moment.
Manual Camera by GD Software is best overall camera. Worth every penny. You can find on App Store.
The camera for nexus is going to update with the new api's. You can Google it and its being developed on as we speak. Cheers

Using FV-5 for the RAW format captures if it's a photo I'll want to keep. Stock camera if I have to snap a photo to share on hangouts or FB.

I'm using "Manual Camera" too and it's very nice to use but the nav buttons keep popping up when using the dial. Really annoying.

I bought it but I hate how the settings do not save
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I've read about Manual Camera and how there are a few major issues with it (no front camera access, no videos, no saving of settings etc) but the positives are very good too (fast, good control, RAW). With a few updates it could become the best camera for the Nexus 6.
Reports that Google are updating the camera aren't all that informative and I dont expect the stock Google camera to have dramatic changes in post-processing abilities, speed, options or anything else. They MIGHT add RAW, but then the post-processing of photos through the stock camera (as well as speed) do not compared to other cameras out there (especially on other phones...Note 4, 6+ etc.).
If I were anyone wanting a new camera experience, I'd keep an eye on Manual Camera.
I can't help but feel the RAW thing is a bit of a gimmick on a phone though, and I say that as someone who shoots exclusively in RAW.
The benefits of using RAW are negated by the relative lack of quality in the camera itself (Compared with a DSLR for example) so realistically, I think it's a catchy term that'll appeal to those who aren't a big fan of the stock camera.
