well, how far are you zooming in? It's a "digital zoom" which is a phrase I hate. It doesn't really zoom in, it just crops the picture then enlarges it.

digital zoom is probably the most useless thing ever on cameras
here's just an example of what it's like

let's say we zoom in on his face using digital zoom
it will take just this little portion
and blow it up

great answer viper98
Unfortunatelly most people don't know the diference between optical and digital zooms...
xdafun4all, if you really want to use zoom without sacrificing quality, the best bet, is aproaching the subject you want on the picture, Using the zoom from the Galaxy S2, Iphone, Pixon, N8, or from any other phone (you name it, i doubt there hare phones out there that have optical zoom built in) will not make miracles...

Digital Zoom = BOGUS.

Yeah even most "high end" point and shoot cameras have **** zooms, even on my 7d I gotta watch for camera shake whilst zooming lol... Tho that's a different story.

Touch the part of the image you need focus once for better focus and then take the picture without altering the position or the zoom.

Also just in case, check cameras settings, make sure you don't have focus set to macro.
This will most diffidently give you blurry pictures unless they are extreme close ups...
Hope this helps.

As said many times in this thread's 9 posts,digital zoom is pure bull****.Take the photo unzoomed and crop the part you want zoomed on your PC.It's the exact same thing.
The only camera that never gave me problems with digital zooming is my Nikon D7000.It was for testing purposes,there is no point in digital zooming with a DSLR but anyway.That thing costs about 1250 euros and takes photos at 16.6mpx,but that's another story.

Macro Shots w/ Vibrant camera

Just wanted to share some macro shots I took today of a butterfly sitting on my porch. The sky was overcast with no sun. Shots were taken in Macro mode at 400 ISO. I would like some feedback from a photographer who knows what their doing. Let me know what you think of the Vibrant's camera.

Nice pics, I'm amazed the butterfly Hung out that long. Now as a photographer (decent) at best I would say the pics are great for a cell phone but nothing makes up for a good dslr camera and controlled lighting... that being said the pics look great for the hardware they were accomplished on
Pretty awesome for a cellphone.
I personally can't make my phone stable for some reason especially hitting the on screen shutter.
Nice pics! I am loving having such a good camera with me all the time. I took this the other afternoon in my backyard. Macro mode works nicely.
Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is macro mode? Looking through the settings in the camera I don't see a 'macro mode'. Granted, I do have the Captivate camera mod, but pretty sure all the options are the same.

I am no photographer but what macro mode does if you are going to be taking an extreme close-up picture of something. It makes the camera focus different so when the lenses is close to an object its not blurry.
I found it. Under 'focus mode' in the settings. Now time to play with it.

i think we should have a Camera Forum under Vibrant.. because it feels like we're going to be having alot of amatuer (but brilliant) Photography!!!
I'm going to start posting some pics i've taken on a new thread.. hopefullly ppl will share their brilliant photography!!
p.s. I know there is probably a Flickr group for all that goodness.. but i just feel at home in XDA
Really nice pictures guys
Here's a similar thread (not Macro Shots) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745704&highlight=photos maybe some of you want to pass by and post some pics in there.
400 ISO
The quality is quite decent for a camera lens the size of a small pencil eraser (if that).

Awful camera quality

Do you guys experience the same ? Pictures are not sharp, colors are mixed up.
only in darker rooms. outside with sun pictures are looking quite well.
look here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/29/htc-trophy-review/
Horrible quality.
As usual with HTC... always these "orange-pink blurry" images.
Nothing compared to the great Omnia 7 camera unfortunately.
Quality is indeed very bad:
Here's a picture taken with my Trophy:
http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8599/wp000050.jpg
You can cleary see the pink/orange circle in the middle.
I hope they put a better camera in this when it comes across the pond to the us. I don't care about mp I want better quality
Yeah camera quality is quite awful. subpar when outside and when inside it's just horrible.
On another note are any of you noticing the 'GSM radio' sounds on video files you've recorded with the device?

i was in quite cloudy conditions and photos still looked good. i think it's just night shots or dark places that it falls over.

Too much noise. They are OK for a low budget phone, but I don't think that the Trophy is low budget (at least I payed more than 200€!)
Thanks for sharing
I'am having the same issue, only outside with clear weather it makes nice pictures. Also the flashlight is horrible, if you try to make a picture of a person it will always look away from the camera
I'm thinking of getting a trophy but I'm really put off by this pinky orange circle issue - does everybody experience this? Is it a hardware issue or could it be fixed by a future update?
Cheers
I have the red colorisation in the centre of the image also, not too fussed as I never use the phone to take pictures I use my Canon D450, if its that important that you need to use the camera for images then you can fix them images in Lightroom.
I got my HTC 7 trophy (australian stock) and think the camera is outstanding. Definitely the best non-iPhone camera phone I've used. Don't understand what all the fuss is about, really.
I have one and the camera is like my old htc p3600 in outsides when I use the flash the quality of the photo is bad with too much noise and blur.
I hope it is a software poblem and MS correct that in a future version!

Photo quality is really bad

Hy 4 all!
I have CM6.1 with Froyo on my Legend and I use the built-in camera app. My photos are always blurry and like so they were taken in a foggy, cloudy place. I have tried to increase the ISO, Deblur, decrease the lightness, increase the sharpness and etc... but nothing has helped. I think the LED flash is too strong. I dont know what more can I do. Has somebody else this problem? Is there a solution?
Thank you forwards!
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Unfortunately, the camera sensor on Legend has it's limitation, if you do care the quality of photo you shot, you better carry a DC or a DSLR to solve this problem.
Yes, the flash is way to strong and built too close to the lens I think. The only thing this cam is good for is well lit day time shots. The flash will destroy any picture if used.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
The flash is good as a flashliht though...I couldn't live without that...
I'm using Stock-like ROM with the original app and the quality is just bad too...
I don't find the Legend too bad, though I've never owned a really good camera so that might be why. I'm happy with the quality tbh, I used the app Vignette with the quality set to 'superfine'.

Well, yes, it can do a good picture while taking shot on a sunny day, although the shot is too light and unbalanced...Also the quality is good because of the resize - look at it in original an you will be surprised
Oh, come on, boys and girls.
What do you expect from a lens as big as a pinhead, a focal distance of maybe 4 mm and 5 mm sensor behind it?
It's good for a snapshot but you woulnd't want your wedding picture being taken with that.
Yeah, I use both Legend and Samsung Fascinate, the Fascinate's camera is much much much better, and flashlight mode is really good. I believe I can take wedding photos with my Fascinate. HTC's camera is never close to "good", always causes pink area on the photo.
Actually none of HTC's phone produce good quality pictures. NONE. I find the quality is acceptable for a phone. If you want the picture perfect quality then I don't think phones will cut it. It is good enough for my use though.

Ultrapixels and digital zoom

Has anyone considered this? One thing megapixels do is to give you some latitude (given no optical zoom) for digital zoom. 28mm is a fairly wide, wide angle lens. 50mm is considered a normal view, reproducing the view humanoids see.

I worry that One has sacrificed digital zoom considerably for low light performance.

50mm is only human view like if you got a full format sensor DSLR.

In a normal camera I'd agree, but phones have essentially no optical zoom. Still, not sure how it will work out in reality so I'm hoping the camera will be good overall - as long as it is I'll be buying this phone.
I really, really like the idea of low light photography. Were it not for AT&T trampstamp in US and mediocre audio, I would have got a Lumia 920 for camera. But living with a 28 mm (35mm film equiv) lens without much optical zoom latitude scares me. Heck, I may decide to get one anyway. But it scares me and I think it will keep away a lot of photo buffs.
doesnt need a thread, zoom is fail on ultra pixel without even asking
you know the trade off so make your choice

Zoom is even a fail on 13mp camera! Better crop pictures afterwards than using digital zoom! Well. There 4mp are in the bad.

Just forget about dig.zoom or crops in HTC Ones camera. I have Nokia N8 and I can do 2x zoom without significant quality degradation even when showing pictures on 60" fullHD TV so I will buy One only for moments and rather take my N8 to vacation
Digital zoom is crap no matter what device or megapixel camera.
I don't use digital zoom even at my conventional camera. Just optical is usable.

just cant agree... even minimal zoom can help a lot and dont need to totaly destroy the detail...many people still do crops and guess what? Crop is the dig.zoom in pink colour dont be so limited...even some more than hobby photographs use crop at home sometimes...trus me I know some of them and when you dont see ruined detail everything is allowed

Goodle camera: Lens blur problem

Is there a solution to make the Lens blur Google camera feature to work? When I take the picture, I don't even have the time to move the device upwards before getting the "Device moved too fast" warning.
It happens everytime. Well, except once when it has worked for some time, which was strange.
I know, that there is Background defocus in the stock camera, but I like Google camera more.
Any ideas?
Try to use Camera FV-5 or A Better Camera, it is very nice solution.

FV-5 doesn't do filters. This is what Lens blur does:

It is exactly the same as Background-defocus effect in Sony's camera.
unfortunately, the only way to get bokeh (the blurry background) is to actually isolate the background through a software algorithm, hold your finger around 3 inches from your eyes, then slightly tilt your head from side to side you will see that objects from afar moves more than your finger... that is the reason google camera needs you to move, and to do it slowly - moving to fast makes everything move. sony takes at least 2 pictures with lens focusing on different things....
and of course there is a way to optically isolate a background which related to a photography concept - depth of field (which requires you to consider sensor size and aperture)... though limited you can take a close up picture of an object that is very near your camera, that will blur the background, the closer the object of interest to the camera the better thr isolation will be... remember that focusing is actually done on a plane, all objects that are near (in the same plane) the object of interest will be in focus... do a Google search on depth of fiels.
my apologies for the lack of capitalization and sentence fragments.... im wrote all of these on my z2
I understand that, but I get Moving too fast message even before I move at all. Haven't tested it for some time, there were some GCamera updates and I got 4.4.4 now. I'll check again tomorrow, if it works now.
