When someone talks about the G Note photos looking bad, just show them
these. All taken on auto mode, fine mode. Cropped.

The last photo I crudely washed out the little girls hand out of the frame.

how in did you get so close to that cute lil creature?

I just put the phone within 12 inches of his face. He was very docile. I even had him sitting on my shoulder. Not sure if he was scared or what his problem was, but he let me hold & pet him without too much moving around.
What attracted me was we were in the back yard, and heard this noise that sounded like a dog, it was this little guy. I looked all over this small tree, didn't find a nest of any kind, no other squirrels any where. Street next to the tree...didn't see any road kill. Not sure if he fell out of a tree, was abandoned or what his problem was. Plan on checking tomorrow to see if he is still there...take some shots with my dSLR.

Cute little Pup.
If the sounds were like a high-pitched 'yelp' that is normally an indication or associated with a call to either a mother calling her Pup/Kitten or the same calling the Mother.
Good shots btw..... Clear and evenly lit. The latter one I would have maybe used flash but that would have more than likely scared the little guy away.
I had a look at all three EXIF Data. Nice to see there were variations.
The last one gave results of:-

Those really are some very nice looking pics, thanks for sharing them.

Hi m8, awesome pics and you are right the colors are so beautiful.
cheers

Macro-mode looks great too
Normal auto-mode:

I think it is not so safe when a squirrel gets so close to somebody

Video quality is pretty nice too.
just made this video of our retarded kitten to try out

It does take awesome photos for a pinhole camera, doesn't it?

I use macro for work, it's fantastic. I work on office machines, and you know how much the factory likes it when you send them a photo of what you are describing?

lg camera is the best for close-up video because the stock one doesn't focus (or I don't know how)

I think most people who were complaining about photo quality were, like me, doing so before the recent OTA firmware updates. When on KKA the focus didn't seem to work at all - since updating to LA4 the camera is focusing properly (in most cases) and I've got some great shots.
If you guys don't know about it, check out Pano - I've created some amazing panoramas with it.

Serious Camera Improvements with 1.29 OTA!

Just read this article about the 1.29 OTA which is currently rolled out (sorry, it's in german): http://www.androidpit.de/htc-one-update-fotos
(you see before and after pictures, with after on the right)
I knew that HTC did something to the camera software, but I didn't expect the results to be THAT different, looks awesome! Like the author says, it looks like "the gray veil has been lifted"!

HTC One updated with camera enhancement suite and more in Europe
• Improvement to sound capture with Zoe
• Noise reduction in slow motion movie capture
• Improved color reproduction and dynamic range (reduced over-exposure in non-HDR images) in certain conditions
• Fix to display correct ISO in EXIF information when ISO settings are manually changed by the user
• Improved system performance and stability

So the ones with the Developers Edition are out of luck?

I got 1.29.111.11, anyone know what the difference is or where info can be found?

The custom roms ha ve been on this version for a few days now. I can confirm there are definitely light and day improvements, I can't compare with the old version but it's definitely noticeable once you move from stock to custom roms with 1.29xxx.12

Let's hope it's rolled out by the carriers ASAP

That's great news! Can't wait.

Mines on 1.28.61.7 and the camera takes amazing pictures
As for the samples in the thread I think the pics on the left are better although it looks like a simple contrast alteration to me.

"Beats Audio Enhancements"
Did anyone notice better sound coming from the speakers with Beats enabled?
I don't have the phone yet, but I know that some people are complaining about hissing. Did 1.29 correct that?
Thanks!

Good to know but are you sure buttons responding with slite and one touch?

I received it today morning. May be we getting closer for KitKat

It's not the first apk update we're getting where 4.4/kitkat is mentioned in the changelog.
About 4 weeks ago there was another album update with exactly the same changelog, so let's wait until the D6503 has been presented

Well, I think we will get 4.4 in six month (here in Germany) ;(

Will Kit Kat enable 20 mp in 16.9 for the camera?

ljw2k said:

Click to expand...

I don't think that is possible due to the limitation of the sensor, when cropping to 16:9 the 20.7MP area, it wouldn't be 20.7MP anymore.
the 4:3 is 5248x3936
16:9 at 20.7MP would be 6060x3409 or around there, while the height would fit, the length of would not, missing around 700ish pixels on the length to make it 20.7MP 16:9. Would need at least a 27.6MP or so 4:3 sensor to get 20.7MP 16:9.
Perhaps kit kat will enable 20.7MP 4:3 in superior mode for the rest of the world.

That would be nice if they could do that and I understand what you are saying in regards to the pixels needed for full 20mp 16.9.
I hope KitKat won't drain the battery as I am finding it excellent with 4.3 and just coming upto 4 days and 18% remaining that's with over 8 hrs talk and taking a few pics and so on.

Night sight mode

Anybody got it yet? If so is it as good as the pixel version?

Suppose to be rolling out end of April

The latest april firmware introduced a separate Night Mode, it's not clear if this is what Samsung believes should be its Night Sight Mode or if something else is coming. If this is it, it leaves much to be desired.

They just let you choose the option by your self, nothing else.

I got an update (Poland).
- you're able to shot with night mode in any conditions
- pictures are much brighter most of a time, but quality is rather bad (comparable to auto night mode before) most of the time
- it's not blurry. It's more like "blocky" instead.
- it takes few seconds to take a shot (like Huawei and Pixel)
- IMO - it's definitely still not Pixels or Huaweis territory.

Samsung night mode:
Pixel night sight:

I installed the April firmware yesterday and tried the night mode
It is totally different from the old night mode as it now works the same way as Google pixels and brithen the photo by large amount
The downside is that it have so much noise
Right now am using gcam 6.1 port with nightsight and it is so much better and working as it should but slower than the Samsung application during the stacking and processing of the photo.

I come from P20 Pro so in comparison Samsung version of night shot is sh*it, way too noisy and not even close to as bright or colour accurate.

I tried the Night mode on my S10+ last night in the middle of the night in my dark living room and I am really impressed with the results - it was very dark in the room at the time and image came out pretty darn good -
forget my messy living room.....
after uploading it here - I noticed that the image was rotated but when I took it was in portrait mode - I don't know why it changed it's position when I uploaded it here ? Or does happen from time to time ?

100% dark room and you got that photo? Impossible .
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Maybe my update just doesn't work, but I don't get night mode. Using it just yields a completely dark undistinguishable picture. Normal photo mode with flash gives a clear fairly decent pic. Don't really need it, so I gave use trying to make it work

Looks like they are starting to roll out. Exynos version in this video here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snatjrpJ6eI
Video of actual footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZoWAben4CA&feature=youtu.be

I have been taking pics and videos for the last hour and it's night and day.
Auto focus and auto brightness are finally fixed.
Dynamic range working as it should.
The camera is much faster. Zoom has also improved up to X10. After that it remains funky.
Really happy now.

Glad to hear man. Really excited to see this roll out in the US.

slow mo video also fixed dynamic range and autofocus.

Have you tried pictures in a dim environment?
For me it's absolutely smudging every detail even after the update, doesn't matter if scene optimiser is on or off.
Taking a picture of my dog she looks like a white splotch where as the Plus model shows her fur in very good detail

Those are pics in dim light. They are so much better than before the update.

hello mate, glad that you received the update. can you tell how is the quality of the picture when you zoom in like 50 times, is it still oversharpened and like oil paint?

Here are examples of zoom X0.5 X2 X4 X10 X30 X100
It's indoor, I think it's much better than it was before. I'll post outdoors pics tomorrow.

Are you sure this is the update for the Camera ? Looks more like the march security update to me...
