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).

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!

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.

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.

[APP] VSCO Cam - Camera app

I now read about this app in a Phonearena article. Does anyone with a Nexus 5 want to try it ?
Just wanted to let you all know about this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vsco.cam
http://www.phonearena.com/news/One-of-iOS-finest-photography-apps-VSCO-Cam-is-now-on-Android_id49979

Just tried it. It's alright. Not a lot of options in the camera itself. You have to go into the apps gallery to edit the photos, as well as export them into the main gallery of the device. Images look decent and capture seems quicker than stock.

Love it so far. A good amount of filters and plenty of tweaks. Played with it for a couple minutes at the bar last night and was satisfied with what I got: http://imgur.com/ml4deJx

It's a pretty nice app. The design has a slight learning curve as it's not quite holo and the back button behavior needs to be fixed. But the filters are excellent. They are much less destructive than the ones you see in instragram et al. VSCO has a very good reputation making pro level Lightroom presets which emulate specific film types.

Where is the zoom??? I didn't play w/ it much before I uninstalled, but I'll be damned if I could figure out how to zoom. I've tried a few cam apps so far, but still like stock better than this one........JMO.

Just crop the photo after shooting. That is all digital zoom does anyway.

Anybody else have the problem where after you export an image to the gallery, the gallery crashes until you delete the image via a file browser?

I dont get similar quality as with stock cam. Its worse compared to it. Am i doing something wrong?

sadly tapatalk has too much compression in uploading pictures. u cant see the real difference in here
stock is much more sharper with nearly no noise. i have very much noise with this vsco app and cant get rid of it in the options

Is this the "normal" G2 camera quality

Hi,
Please see this pictures, is this the normal G2 quality ? I find it very poor I suspect a hardware probleme.

did you removed the film of camera?

Sur I did, and the camera is clean and with no scratchs, can you post some pics taken with yours.

Here is one taken with my D802:

I find that your picture is by far better than mines, I don't know what is the problem, this phone wasn't new (refurbished), maybe they have put a non original camera ? what to do now ?

Try downloading a different camera app and see if it is any better.

My camera has inconsistencies (blur in areas), camera is always going out of focus and in frequently, the image is quite often warping (noticeable when recording).
I use Mi2raw now.

They seem fine to me. You could download and install CamSpeed. It's a Camera Peformance benchmarking application. Yes usually benchmarking applications are laughed at but if you're having doubts, why not try it and compare with other G2's?
If you're still not satisfied, download and install XCam and use that instead of the LG Cam.

with camspeed, I get a rank of 411 and score of 412, it seem poor compared to other devices with 2000+ rank.
I already use xcam, it give better performances but still not good enought.

Can someones please run this test and tell us there score ?

your first picture appears to have been taken through the windshield of a car. Anti-reflective/glare coatings on the windshield as well as road grime will cause your pictures to look bad. Also looks like there is some reflection from the dashboard as well.
The second picture looks ok. I see a blurry spot in the lower left that may be due to motion.
Is your phone in a case with a plastic cover in front of the lens?
I have been using x-cam on my VS980 and get very good results.

Thank you for this. Could you please also upload a comparison of two night shots?

I installed only version camera Day, but I can try night version either

does not look very good imo. a bit more contrast and thats it. Its also not sharper than samsung cam.

I hope that next version will be better.

GCam - portrait. Kinda tricky, many obstacles. But good result.

Hey all,
I am interested in the s10e and would like to know how the camera performance is without a telephoto lens.
Would the GCam version have 'super res zoom' which would be almost equivalent to 2x telephoto lens?
Please let me know.
Thanks

It does and works like a charm as long as you dont go wild with advanced settings (bitrates, etc). It produces way better low light pics than Samsungs own night mode (you need to have newest update installed)

Night photos are actually better on the original camera (s10e exynos). I just tested it.
