I feel that the hardware is not to be blamed here...
The software here is at fault..
The superior auto mode is not so superior in its job(it's ok if you want to capture something real-quick)... But if you want the best from the hardware you'll have to turn to manual controls...(Camera FV-5 is the best app I know for that)
Jpeg compression is just too much here...thus we can see the lack of detail in some photos(macro)
To get the best of the camera,My suggestions are as follows :-
If you like the stock camera app... 1)Turn off superior auto mode... Switch to manual mode
2) set the ISO at 200 (max) for daylight photography,,,,400 for twilight
3) HDR off
4) metering mode set to average
And if you still want better results:
1) install Camera FV-5 (full version support developer )
2) go to settings -> photo encoding settings -> file format -> set it to PNG ( it takes some seriously huge pics (15 mb..)
3) now apply all the manual controls mentioned above
If you think what difference does the above methods do to the quality of the photos... Take a photo with normal method (superior auto) and then manual method... And then compare..

[Q] Camera flash output / brightness in ICS

Is there a way to modify / lower camera flash brightness (output) in ICS?
When taking photos in darker environment, flash 'burns' the photo i.e. colors are washed out and photo is overexposed. I also noticed when the flash is activated during focusing, its brightness is normal.
As far as I remember, this was not the case in GB based ROMs (in which I always used ported stock LG camera app).
I've yet to try out alternative camera apps (zoom fx, ucam...), but I'd like to stick to the stock LG software.
TIA
same problem here,but i used Jbcamera+ for taking pictures (it has great autofocus and the flash is ok) and camerazoomfx for video recording,(the stock one not focusing and the jbcamera+) because the stock camera is bit annoying for me
I havent used the lg stock camera but as you have said the photos are over exposed when using flash so isnt there an option to decrease the exposure? I use the 4.2 Camera and when taking night shots depending on how close the target I set exposure to -1/-2 and get decent low light shots, flash wise that is.
Well, there is exposure compensation on stock camera app, just haven't thought of that before. Will try tonight both camera JB from play store and LG's app with exp -1 and -2.
Thanks.

I thought camerazoom fx only took photos?
Yes, the exposure is way too high. Generally the photos are affected by the flash burns. The only solution i found was to decrease the exposure to -1 or -2.
OK, much better with exposure at -1 and -2 (depending on the surrounding light level).
I just wish LG camera app were a bit more 'intelligent' to figure exposure compensation on its own, but then again it would probably have to rely on some DSLR-like metering methods that would certainly double the size of camera/CCD (and the bulge where it sits) as well as its price...
If this were top priority to me, I'd probably be carrying a 'stupidphone' with an enormous camera at its back (nokia 808, anyone

Camera Zoom FX on Xperia Z

Has anybody tried Camera Zoom FX on the Xperia Z yet?
How's the quality, and is it possible to map the volume buttons to snap a pc?
------------------------------------------
Sony Xperia Z C6603 Purple | RomAur 1.1
not much different i guess
you can map buttons to the way u want
oh yes, i see the differences, camera zoom fx images are sharper but a bit more noise as compared to the xperia z camera whereas xperia z got less noise but images are not that sharp as compared to camera zoom fx

[Q] Xperia T Camera Resolution

According to the specs the Xperia T has a 13 megapixel Camera
When I first got this phone the settings for the camera let you select 13mp as the highest resolution setting
A couple of days ago my phone updated itself to jelly bean and now the highest resolution I can select in the camera settings now says 12mp
Does anyone know what the deal is here did they typo and it is actually 13mp as advertised or have they crippled the camera with this update?
its 12mp probably because you using superior mode..try change to normal mode, it suppose change to 13mp..
thanks for that
I don't even know what that superior mode is, did it get added with the update?

Yes it did. As far as I know "superior auto mode" is supposed to automatically select the "scene" mode among the options it offered you beofre, and because it may activate HDR, which is limited to 12 Mpixels, that's why it shows the reduced resolution.

[Q] Camera problem

I just noticed my camera issue and the problem is that in the day time, My camera quality is really awesome no doubt...!!! even the front camera is awesome..however in the night, the camera is dull, when I click images, some whiteness on the edges comes and it's not at all clear images..!!
Is this issue with my phone or with everyone??
most of the people have the same issue , however with the latest firmware people are saying the night / low light camera quality has improved.
i havent tried it personally but if you search around most of the people will agree
