all my pictures are blurry taken by camera.. why is this happening?

ive tried all types of focus, but even the slightest movement makes it blurry.. anyone hae a fix to this??

Xperia has one of the worst cameras i've ever used in a mobile phone. My 5 year old $150 camera phone with lower pixel count outperforms this one on Xperia. The only use i have is for the light LED which i occasionaly use as a torch. I think the lens quality is so downright pathetic that it takes quite a bit of shutter lag to capture anything. This makes it prone to camera shake. There might be a way to reduce the shutter lag but then the exposure quality would suffer.

all SE phones i had (t610, k700i, k750i ans X1i) were fine in outdoor conditians. the pictures were nice. but its normal if you are moving the phone while taking a picture that the picture wount be sharp. As I said in outdoor conditions everithing was fine.
In bad indor conditions its normal I guess for a phone to easily make a fuzzy picture. It helps if you hold the phone as still as you can. But if the conditions are realy bad like a semi-dark room its almost impossible to make a sharp picture.
You can even see on the screen before you press the shoot button if the pisture runs fluidly it will probably be a nice picture but in bad conditions even the camera view isnt fluid it can be laike 5 fps and then youll need to be still to maka a farly decent pic.
You can set the camera on several conditions like Auto, Outdoor, Indoor, Cloudy, Sport and such...
I have my camera alweys set on Sport so its fluid even in the dark. The pics are little darker then on Auto setting but if the pic is made in normal indor conditions that almost isnt noticeble. Sport works for me alot better then Auto.
Dont realy know how some phones (seen on some midle-low class Nokia) can have great visibilitiy and fluid camera view in realy bad conditions and why high end SE phones cant do that.

there is another thread about this. if u put it in macro mode it seems to work better. the camera itself is fine and good quality but its too sensitive to the slightest movement making it blurry.
also install the r3a beta camera software as that is the best (for some reason SE decided not to include the r3 beta camera software in the final r3 rom, even though it is a lot better than the r3 rom camera software they included).
r3a camera software cab link:

It seems like on a 6.5 ROM (at least the ROMs i tried) the Camera has longer exposure time. It was hard to shoot a clear photo. Yesterday i changed back to R3A stock ROM and it's much better now. I'll try the R3A beta camer app, maybe its even better.

This may help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577364

IMO the X1 is excellent.
But the trick is to:
Set it to unfished focus - ∞
In most conditions I use Sports mode - makes really sharp pictures.
I use Automatic mode only in a very bad light..
All the settings besides Sports raises up the exposure,
compromising the speed.
Note:
Check your camera glass.
I had to wipe off the invisible paint on it which became blurry after half a year.
Now it's perfect.
If you want, look at my blog photos:

Sports mode plus flash always on is the answer. Good results but dim indoor pictures.
How I wish I could hack into the flash settings to try to make it brighter... I never found any registry settings and I presume the two levels of brightness are hard wired in.
If I had more time I'd make a little sound activated xenon flash that triggers through the 3.5mm jack. It's a Radio Shack project that's not even too difficult. Anyone out there wanna try? EEs?

howw can ii cheeck if i have r3a camera? i installed barebone rom r3.. but i have autoflash init already.. shoukd i still install the r3 camera cab since this one is blurry even on the ssettings u guys rec ommmended?

Thank you Ganondolf for the link for R3A beta camera cab, yay I know have zoom. I still don't get how the infite focus is the best focused, IMO I think macro is the best focus.

Another question came to me, sense we can import things like zoom is their away to import image stabilization red eye removal, face detection from other WM phones?. The one I'm the most intersted in is Image Stablilization.

Camera lens dirt
Would you take a look at where your lens is located? There must be a severe smear. You better peel them off compeletely with your nails and erasers. It's a known problem of X1 lens film's poor quality and not sure that thin film has done any good till now, but now i have a crisp clear quiality back with that fix.

[Foto] How To Upgrade Camera Performance

Hello guys. I am new with my milestone here and I have an important question if you have some ideas about it. However my previous phone (google G1) had 3.2 mp camera built in, its photos were quite better than my milestone which has 5 MP with flash light! I am very disapointed with its camera performance. Is this something about software and development or something about its camera lens?
Its photos are full of gren and noise in it and deffintly doesnt seem to be a 5 mpx.

Hi I have the same question. the photos has noise and I think is better my last g1.
any ideas??

Try charge your battery full if using flash.

It has nothing to do with battery because photos are bad even in full daylight! I hope this is something about firmware and can be fixed with some new software , Unless i will sell this phone.

I have also not'ced that camera flash light of this phone is not working proper when battery goes lower than 30-40 and its a shame when its night time your battery has to be higher than 50 if you want to use flash light.. But there is something weird with this because of this flash light brightes and shines so strong even battery goes low when you half press shutter button for the auto focus. then when you press for taking the photo then it wont flashes up like before. REALLY WEIRD.. I am gonna sell this odd phone. Unless those stupid mistakes wont be fixed by 2.2 upgrade. hopefully soon..

Can I ask to poeple who upgraded their droid to 2.2 is there any difference at camera performance on your droid after update ??

To be honest there is not a difference in camera performance. That all varies between the lighting and zoom level of the camera. I have noticed the grain side of the photos, however I have had some great clear photos taken with the phone as well. The video quality IMO is superb for the phone. Even before the 2.2 update I did, the pictures turned out great despite some showing a little bit of grain.

The megapixel number means nothing, and actually for a given physical sensor size (IE the ones that fit in phones) a higher MP number will mean ****tier pictures.
The performance is just how it's going to be.

I use 360 Camera Pro with low ISO Speed (100) and High IS Sensitivity. My photos come out looking like this: http://i.imgur.com/U9PAx.jpg

well I tried to take the same photos with both stock camera program and camera 360 program, and my results were not far different from eachother but 360 photos were a bit better. Camera 360 photos were about 3-4 MB, but droids itself photos were 1 MB. I can say the MB difference didnt reflect the picture quality. they were almost same quality. so no need to use 3 times more space for ordinary photos.

I changed my camera application.
I now use the app: Pro Zoom Camera 5X
And that worked for me.
It takes better pictures.
Dont know all the reasons.
But 1 major reason for me is,
With the original, you half press the camera key to focus, then full press to take the picture.
This creates movement when taking the picture.
With the app i'm using,
you press full ones, it then focuses and takes the picture.
but you can also use the volume button, which is an easier key to press full.
or you can just tap the screen.
For me it made a huge difference.
Though,.. still not as good as we want it to be

I am not sure if the only problem was half shutter vibration on the photo problem. it seems more than that. To me It can be fixed with some software improvments but im not sure how much can it be good with new software.. Does anyone know which brand or what kind of lenses does motorola uses for milestone?

Thank You for sharing this info. I will try it myself.

camera flash

Most of us noticed that the photos take from our s3 mini with flash are yellowish in color far from the true color this should be not the case:silly:
if you compare our photos from other phones our photos seems more yellowish then other phone photos....
Most of you know the solution for that:good: for those who don't know the solution
1)most of the time try to use camera in auto flash mode
2)and the most important thing is set the exposure value to the lowest i.e to -2.0 in our case if you are taking photos by using flash
And see the difference between the photos...

Camera Pro mode not updating the preview

Hi, I bought a P9 that is yet to arrive but the other day I was using my friends P9 and wanted to try the camera in pro mode (which is the mode that I use the most on my phones) and I noticed that after some speeds, when playing with shutter speed, the viewfinder image just stops updating the amount of light that should enter ie. I'm indoors with artificial light and if I set the speed to the fastest posible the viewfinder does not go black (and it stops showing the differences in lightning way before the fastest shutterspeed). Same goes the other way, if I set the speed to a ver very low one the viewfinder does not end up looking white, so it makes this feature useless cause the only way I have to see if I'm using the correct speed is to take the shot and then open the picture to see if it was the correct speed. I noticed this happening also in the Huawei Mate 8. I'm used to the LG G4 wich every step of the shutter speed shows a difference in lightning in the image your watching. Is there a way to fix this? does this happend with every Huawei phone? I haven't got the phone yet but I'm already thinking of selling it and getting an S7

I am also coming from an LG G4 and found the lack of feedback in terms of how much light I get by changing different setting, as I major drawback. To answer your question: yes, all Huawei phones seem to lack this feature. The only option is to take a shoot at that setting and adjust back and forth, per the exposure you see on the picture taken.

thanks a lot, I'm really going to miss G4's camera app along with it camera quality so I think I'm gonna sell the p9 as soon as I get it and get an S7, the pro mode in a camera is way too important to me to withstand this Huawei bug like behavior =/

If you lock the shutter speed, then by changing to different ISO values you get a good feedback on the live screen related how much light gets in. But unfortunately does not work the other way around which is equally important, to lock the ISO and play with shutter speed. So it`s a half of drawback but still annoying.

Question Night sight mode total rubbish Motorola should be ashamed

Is it me or is this camera just broke the night site mode is an absolute joke and Motorola should be ashamed to even call it night sight should be night blue , ok it's poor in low light anyway but I've had cheaper budget phones that can shoot better night shots take for example pics below first is using just main shooter normal mode second is night sight , what lense is it using Macro ,

For better night photos use the "Pro" mode in the camera app and adjust the shutter speed (it should be the middle button) depending on how much light you have in the shot. It can go up to 32 meaning the picture will take 32 seconds, so absolutely nothing can move or shake while taking the photo. It's a big compromise however you'll be surprised what kind of photos your phone can take in low light.
Alternatively use GCam, I heard it works well.
