Nope. The stock camera overides the manual brightness settings to create a better preview of the picture you are taking.

The pictures are not appearing dull, its because you are viewing at lower brightness settings in the gallery.

Camera Help?!

Hey fellow Z1 owners. I have a question about the camera and maybe I am doing it completely wrong. I noticed that when I take pictures, they don't really come out that sharp, in superior auto or full manual. Below is an example.
As you can see on my dog's body, the fur looks like a flat, smudgy mess while in real life those are each individual hairs. Is it something to do with the camera software and pixel binning or is it my crap photo skills?
When I compare some of the pictures taken with my Nexus 5, I notice that the hairs can easily be defined and pictures are generally less noisy. Any help or insite would be appreciated. Running .290.
This picture is from the Nexus 5. As you can see, more detail and less noise. This is mindboggling to me.
The picture looks fine to me. It has that distinct "Sony" skin smoothing effect.
I assume that the lighting conditions are less than optimal? It could just be the aggressive image processing from Sony. Did you try a different camera app?
More the ISO is, more you will have this "effect".

The lighting conditions arent "optimal' but they certainly arent LOW light. I noticed a lot of pictures have this smoothing effect reducing detail. Will a different app help this at all?
Try to take pictures on manual 8mp. 4x3 and use landscape as seen that helps me in some conditions
And don't use auto mode results won't be that good

Camera issues?

I'm planning to pick up a G6 this Friday to replace my G5. But I'm slowly becoming aware of the camera issues that are being posted. Is this something you think will get addressed with a software update, or should I wait a few weeks for the S8 even though I'm not a big fan of curved screens?
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
What camera issues? Mine has been working great.
I've got no issues at all. I LOVE the camera. Even in auto mode it's amazing. Really really happy that they got rid of the laser focus. Photo attached is no editing just wide angle and hand held
There's a thread titled "LG G6: Is it worth buying?" where a bunch of people are talking about the bad camera quality.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
There's no camera issue, it's just not as great a camera as it should be. If you take photos in wide angle they are superb, but single lens shots are sub parts. It's digital processing is awful. Hopefully there's an update to fix.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
how's it compare to the GS7? I just pulled the trigger the other day and it's coming tomorrow. I could not find any full review articles or videos on youtube with the final software and hardware version. I wanted to see comparisons to the GS7. I finally got tired of waiting for reviews and went ahead and ordered it. Hope i made the right decision. I'm pretty picky about cameras.
I love the camera one thing I really really love is auto focus is much better than the lg g4 was. Also love that just tapping a a different spot on camera can easily adjust the exposure while maintaining a full frame focus. I'm the pictures at times from the gs7 may appear better but it also depends on what device they are being viewed on. I mean if I watch 1080 videos on my low end barely HD monitor th3 comparisons are useless. Sadly not enough pictures ever get printed. Plus wide angle for the win. Sample quick take from the beach on sunday.

Reviews already show the S8 selfie camera is awful too. What's the point of auto focus if it still makes you look like a cartoon and "beautify's" everything. Side by side comparisons online with the Pixel and iphone 7 show the S8 (and samsung) is still awful for selfies.
The selfie camera is a little blurry but not that bad. For 5MP it's to be expected. Yes, it's not as versatile as the back camera setup, but I guess if you're not used to having to plan shots to get the composition you want, it can seem crap by today's standards. blurry in darker shots, but does well enough for me. Using the filters that are on by default make it worse too. (Can't guarantee that the image I attached doesn't have any filters added as I don't remember when I took the shot. I think it is slightly filtered)
I was concerned every shot with the back camera would need to be "tweaked", but I'm surprised how well it does with auto. You can modify gamma on the fly too which is nice (and necessary with more difficult shots). Keep in mind though if you're cropping to 16:9, then it will affect perceived image quality. That can affect the blurriness of the non-wide angle lens tbh since it's the lesser of the two. Both take great shots though on automatic.
The wide angle is the best one of all three.
I attached a photo taken with selfie lens. You can judge for yourself. Personally, I think it looks fine. Most shots are going to be viewed on mobile so resolution won't be as important as the back camera. I don't use selfie cam too often though, but if it's your primary camera, then yes you will be disappointed by the step down and will likely want to go for something with a higher res like S8...
This is comparison of night shots of two back lens... wide angle versus non-wide angel camera... as you can see, both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Here are a bunch of microshots. Does it have it's weaknesses? Oh yes. Is it a bad camera. Not at all.
Pro Tip: Sometimes I notice sometimes you have to "zoom in" just a tad in order to get the autofocus to catch stuff up close but it's rare. My point and shoot does the same thing. (Also there is manual focus)
No issues at all with the cameras here. FWIW, I like them a lot better than the G4.
Just because of this thread, I had to try in near total darkness... It turned out pretty clear. I'm not disappointed at all. I came from S7 Edge, and I can say for a quick low light picture, it is a "little" better, but by no means is this camera a disappointment. But, when there's light, it's better than S7. I'm very happy with the phone.
I am having horrible camera pictures. Worse then the last few phones i've had. The panorama has double images and it's wavy. The reviews on youtube says it works good. all the pictures look like the grass and trees was painted with water colors. it's awful. I'm worried about what I"m going to do now. I can't keep my GS7 since I upgraded so there's no turning back unless i exchange my phone but for what model? I don't want a Galaxy with a curved screen so the options are limited at Verizon. I would upload some images but how do i post the images from my computer? The image button wants a url.

I tried auto mode with and without HDR. Btw there's no HDR button so I have to go in the settings every time I want to turn it on our off. Totally unacceptable. I tried manual mode too. I have it at 16:9 at the highest resolution. Is there a quality setting I missed?

I have got a screen shot of my settings. It was done in auto. I used the mode/filter called "1839". Also, if you tap on the object you want it to focus on, you'll see a slider (I circled it in other screen shot) which your can use to make adjustments to make pictures clearer in low light or put your own tweak on a picture.

Redmi Note 4 (SD and MTK) photography thread

I don't see this thread here so I might as well start one. Use this thread to show of your photography skills on the Note 4, since people insist on camera2 API all the time and we are lucky to have it.
If you're uploading multiple photos please
them so it won't be a huge post or use the attachment function.
Do share your camera app and custom settings if you can too.
Files attached used HDR for daytime while the night sky pic used ISO 1600 and 0.6s shutter speed. All taken with Open Camera. Anyone got better settings to take pictures os stars or the moon at night?
Can you please confirm that exposure settings working or not in manual mode? And what is the maximum exposure time?

For longer you need other camera apps, the resolution will be stuck at 2mp. You can change iso yes.

Max resolution is at 2Mp because the long exposure is not real but through software. Many pics are taken and then combined.

Modifcicating shutter speed

Dear friends,
I have a question regarding the shutter speed of the OP5. It's max.shutter speed is set to 30 seconds. Is there any ROM (I've searched for it but didn't find one) or any other way to increase shutter speed (as example 60)? Night shots turn out beautiful with shutter speed set to 30 but i would like to set it even higher, to capture night pictures under worser circumstances.

Light Painting doesn't work. It was said by dev next week (in May), but it never worked. When you select it, it says: Coming Soon

Thanks but useless. 30secs Max, low quality and nothing that OP Camera doesn't have.
Best way to make very long exposures is to take several 30 secs photos and stacking them with Photoshop or stacking app.
