[Q] [UPDATED WITH SAMPLES] Best camera app? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
first of all excuse me if the question was already posted but currently I'm unable to search: "Search is temporary unavailable".
I'm not satisfied about stock camera, I mean 50% of times takes great shots but most of times it fails, I tried "manual mode" but for fast shots I always missed the Moment.
Right now I'm using ProCapture, FV5, Camera Zoom FX
Here some shoots: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x20hdehuizwewi5/8AWuFiitsu
Low lights:

Notes
1. FV-5 has problems with touch to focus, can't get really the correct point you touch.
2. Camera Zoom FX has a nice steady stable shoot feature (configured with high, and .5 secs)
3. Manual was: iso auto, scene: none, stabilizer: no, metering: center, hdr: no
4. for all wide and 8mb (100% jpg quality, super fine quality (for apps that support that))
What about you? What camera app do you prefer? Settings?

As you'll be able to see in the pic, in low lights or even a bit of light the camera has very much noise like burning fire no matter what mode I am using superior auto or manual but when I change ISO to 400 the noise tends to almost disappear but still does, so by not messing things up is this a common software issue? I had tried several camera apps all are the same is this software or hardware/lens issue? I am running on latest 2.257 firmware

Erm, could you post a few actual pictures please? The viewfinder does NOT display the quality of eventual images as it does not apply any processing. The view from the viewfinder will always be hella-noisy. (that's a term, right? Down with the kids, me )
Actual results can be as good as this:

Camera application for 20.7 MP

Hello XDA Devs and users...
I've been playing with the camera but the bad thing is that we can't take a photo on Auto with 20.7 MP..
I know how to make the default camera on auto with 20.7MP but I don't want to get my phone rooted(personal reasons).
Can any of you suggest any good application on the Play Store(I don't mind if it's paid).
Thanks!
The only way to do it is to root your phone.
I am unsure of what reasons you would have for not wanting to root. It does not void warranty and is a completely reversible process.
But its your choice of course

If I remember correctly, didn't the Google Camera shoot automatic images in 20.7 Megapixel mode? :angel:
EDIT: Alternatively you can simply use the default camera app in Manual Mode with every setting kept at auto, except you can set the resolution to 20.7 megapixels.

Timeshift video issue (light) ?

Hello guys!!!
I have a weird issue with my camera app. When I'm in a room with artificial light or low light, I mean not in the dark but not with the perfect light, at the end of the day for example. All the camera modes have awesome results, thanks Sony sensor BUT when I use the Timeshift video mode the result on the screen is very ugly and the light is very low.
Can you tell me if it's normal? When I use the Timeshift burst the result is good like the auto mode, manual mode, etc...
But the Timeshift video is very low light. When I'm in low light conditions, the auto mode and others take good pictures (not perfect but good for the poor light) and the Timeshift video mode is almost dark!
See the difference in same scene, AUTO VS TIMESHIFT VIDEO :
AUTO

Thanks !
As far as i know, this is done to achieve higher frame rates. Like, go to video mode and try 1080p 60 fps. You'll see it's darker than at 30 fps
Yes you're right! So it's normal? No need to return my Z3C?
not at all. In order to achieve higher framerates the ''shutter'' doesnt stay iopen as long thus not as much light is getting in. Completely normal. dont worry about it.
Thank you guys

Huawei 360 Camera owners

When you disable the watermark/logo in settings, do you still have a white foggy area above the phone? See photo. I am not sure if this is the just to use as a contrasting background for the black font watermark or if my camera is faulty. However surely if you remove the watermark in settings then the white fog should be removed too as it is not needed anymore?
So do I have a problem or is it normal with all the cameras?

Yes, mine does too. Seems to be Huaweis way of hiding the camera / phone from the shot
Is there any way of doing long exposure shot with this camera?
Huawei specs says that camera has up to 30sec exposure
Hello, everywhere is written that huawei cv60 360 camera is shooting 2k video, but in app written 1920x960 resolution, and this is not 2 k resolution, any thoughts ?

Not that I know of, the software would need to support it and it doesn't appear to at the moment.
Where is 2 k resolution?

In summary 1920x960 = 1843200 = 2K :cyclops: just marketing, nothing personal
This white overlay thing on the bottom of the 360 camera (white beneath huawei logo when on) is kind of annoying. Is there anyway this could be remove view editing the APK file.

how is the macro shooting on the XZ2?

Can one get any closer than the XZ1?
That's definitely one of the drawbacks I find on the previous XZ series cameras. Wondering if they've improved it or not... since it's a similar module I think I know the answer.
Here's a crop of a garden spider I took a few days ago.
just tried to take a Macro... it needs about 7-10cm to get rid of the blur... i'll do some advanced testing with Manual Mode and a tripod

Okay... here we go...
Auto Mode:
10cm

9cm (already somewhat blurry)
8cm (totally blurry)
Difference Between Manual Mode an Auto Mode is almost nonexistent
Manual Mode:
Auto Mode:
(Keep in mind, the Imgur compression which destroys the picture.... too lazy to upload original picture)
Oh... and if you think you can just switch to Manual Mode and set Manual Focus distance to the minimum... well, check the two hidden pictures above... this one is the same excep Manual Focus distance instead of Auto... same distance.
So yeah.... it's even worse -.-
Seems about the same as the XZ1, that's what I figured (but with a sharper, cleaner image).
I've been spoiled by my old Lumia 950 XL's camera's macro ability I guess.
We'll have to see if the module in the XZ2 Premium or their newer 48mp fairs any better.
Focus setting will make the difference I think
