[Q] Blurry shots at night - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have problem with photos at night,or dark conditions. They all are blurry. I mean, I have Galaxy S4 ,S3 ,Note 2 and when is night,tap on the screen means, light on camera turn on and object at dark is focused. While HTC One cant do it. Tap on the screen at dark does nothing and photo is blurry. Is there any solution how can I do perfect photos like Galaxy series? I also tried Camera FX ,but its the same. Still cant focus with light

Maybe is user error. Simple as just not doing it right. If not we need more info than that... Like come on how can I help you when all you say is "I'm a newbz and mah camera won't focus"?
Give me rom, kernel, camera app settings and maybe someone would be nice enough to help you.

All stock, not rooted.
Lol, this is not only my problem, but every user of HTC One get this problem. Im asking for solution. Just try that. Try taking picture at night, when on One is only black screen. How can U make a photo, which is not blurry? Tapping on the screen to focus is useless, cause it cant focus.. Its weird and sad. If I could do same as on the Galaxy, tap on the screen uses light and that means it will focus on objects at night, so U have great picture. But One, which has better picture at night cause of ultrapixles, cant do that?
Enough to know whats the problem?

Stock 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 because there has been quite a few updates that increases camera performance. Maybe some pictures could help.
If you are properly focusing on something after pressing your finger on the screen it should say "AE and AF locked".

Yeah,if I tap on the screen,it says ae and af locked. But it doesnt solve the problem. Try it. U will have blurry photo too. It just cant focus at night

So, I found on the internet same issue..Everybody got this problem, I think all HTC devices, but lot of people dont know about it..There was no software update which repair this..One guy got third part app, which using light-torch ,so it can focus in dark too..But he said its bit laggy, not as HTC's camera app:-/ He also tried different ROMs, nothing works..Shame on HTC..Dont understand why they cant do it like Samsung..

me too am having the same problem. am using vipers 5.2.1 and night pictures are just bad even with the powerful dual flash on the sensation

Camera Focus

Hi All
This may be a noob question, but ive noticed this with my camera. As you can see on image 1010, its focus is on the sky, but then if i move it a few degrees down (1011) its focus is on the man across from me. These images have done this without me touching to focus or anything.
Is there a way i can get my camera to take a decent shot of both the sky and whatever is infront of me? without having to compromise a certain part of the image.
I took a lot of photos twice today in order to get both parts of the photo in good focus.
Im using:
Stock camera app
Project X v4
There is no Q+A sectin, so ive posted this here, it can be deleted once ive figured out this little annoyance.
Any information regarding this, work arounds, or why it does it would be great. Also, is this the case on all roms?

i think its just autofocus that does it. you will realise once you move the phone it comes up with the focus square
But surely there's a way to make it so it doesn't block out a section of the image just because it feels like it ?

Pretty sire it can't focus on two things at once
The focus/lighting are related, so if you've focused on the man, the lighting will adjust so you can see the man and not the sky

Off center back camera

Hi I got new HTC ONE
I found the back camera is out off center. Please find attached picture. I would like to know if this is normal.
I see no issue in camera now, but I'm worried if there would be some light problem.
Check for blur (out of focus) on the bottom left of photos. Otherwise, normal.

Mine is the same. No issues yet
It has an image stabilizer, therefore it moves
and is never perfectly in center. Study the web, theres a lot about it, even videos where you can see it moving.
No worries

Really no idea why it doesn't have this. It is so terrible in dark places. I was with some friends trying to take a picture of my friends at night. Every picture was blurred to **** because nothing was in focus. I tried to take like 10 pictures. My friend beside me with a GS3 only needed to take one picture because it does that flash-focus.

If there's a situation where the HTC One fails to focus cos of low light, I don't see how anything the S3 takes to be even usable, unless you mean flash-focus AND flash and not just flash-focus and take the image as is.

Basically HTC have cocked it up a little. They've assumed the sensor is more capable than it actually is.
The majority of phone cams will use the flash to light an extremely dark scene so that it can set the focus for when it triggers the flash full strength to take the picture.

LG Camera and Infinite focus works ok. Also in HTC camera app, if its completely dark room, just hold the button down to take pic til it clicks and then let go. First picture out when you load up the camera software should come out pretty well focused.
Secondly, if you're taking pictures in completely dark rooms, there's something wrong with you (I do this too, just waiting for an app to put a scary pic and a loud sound on resulting picture as a scary joke lol)

The One does this too, the flash lights up once before the picture is taken to focus, then turns off, then flashes, unfortunately the software is buggy and it's not always focused.

well i was at a concert, with some buddies, and the place was dark, dark enough were the camera could not see. i tried to shoot a pic of my buddies and every single pic came out blurry, it was really embarrassing, a brand new 500 dollar phone cant take a pic in a dark room.:crying: lol
I'm having the exact same problems. Photos during the day are amazing, but in dark areas it's a major problem!
My SGS3 went "flllaasshhhh" (while focusing), then "flash" again when it actually took the picture.
My HTC One does not do that initial "flllaasshhhh" while it focuses. It only flashes when it takes the picture, and 95% of the time the resulting picture is blurry.
See FULL size example here: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/1126/a8lg.jpg

The attached image is re-sized .... loses the blurriness.

Htc one camera good... Sorta...

Ok.. If it is me, i apologize..
But my htc one takes awesome photos outside in natural sunlight... Dope!.. However... Inside pics in regular room lighting is terrible...really terrible.. Terrible to the point that i am praying it is a known issue! I love this phone, and do not want to return it within my 14 days at tmobile, but if there is no workaround or known update for the camera coming soon i might have to...
Is 4.2.2 suppose to fix this? Samples are coming...
Low light photography is what the one is actually renowned for

[Q] Custom wallpaper for lockscreen

Good evening Xperia Z owners (and all others of course)!
For a few days I have gone back to Sony UI, from the Google Edition. But I have one problem, that is causing a lot of frustration.
I can't set one of my own pictures as lockscreen, without that it's being cropped down. I have tried with a ordinary picture, and I have tried to change the size of it, to 720x1280 using paint. But still when I set a picture, it want to crop it down, as my attatched picture show.
Is there any solution to this?
I'm running 4.2.2, leaked Honami ROM.
Cheers,
Jimmy
MV,
I cant help you with cropping and I have dealt with that to and cant stand the fact that we cant just use our pic as is.
I like the picture though......I just saw KISS in Victoria BC and my voice is still shot a week and a day later....wicked concert

Thanks! Yeah, it' bad that Sony has done this.
Off Topic: This wasn't the image I was trying to have as lockscreen, but it was a bit funnier than seeing three prog rockers Kiss had a good show, but I walked away after 40 minutes, can't stand them really...
This isnt sonys fault. Its androids bad thing. Make your pic 1080*1920 and you might solve the problem
