At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Nokia 5's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
HDR+ from google
Stock pictures are horrible. Hard to make them without blur, as the shutter speed comes down to 1/9 of a second. Fortunately we can install HDR+ from google and that makes a huge difference, although they tend to be a bit too cold. Here are some photos for comparision.
Google HDR - HDR Enchanced(ON) - 1/30, iso: 1471

Google HDR - HDR + - 1/10, iso: 1309
Stock camera - HDR off - 1/10, iso: 1250
Stock camera - HDR on - 1/10, iso: 1250
Now a small comparison with Nexus 5x. Both smartphones are using the same Google Pixel App.
Used HDR+(not enchanced) for Nokia and Nexus 5x.
Nokia goes lower on shutter speed and higher on ISO(smaller sensor probably?).

i have a nexus one and i was curious to know how anti-banding 60hz and 50hz or even auto, affect my photos... thanks
try taking a picture of a tv or computer monitor

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just throwing it out there that, if it's to compensate for refreshrates, it should probably be named "anti-flicker" and not anti-banding. If I see banding in reference to images, I generally associate it with the image not being properly blended and each separate shade being easily identifiable.
Does anyone have an old CRT monitor or tube TV they can try 'off' vs '50, 60, or auto' with? Submit the results, pics or it didn't happen. I don't know if this is the case
Banding is pattern of vertical line in photo. And banding is digital imaging artifact. And banding happens in some extreme or special exposure or conditions. To avoid these pattern you can use Anti-banding feature of camera.
Alright, necroing in...
My device is Yu Yureka CM12.1. But what I've noticed is that the Anti-banding option doesn't change anything when I take the picture of, say my led monitor. But changing the ISO setting does. If we set ISO manually to a higher value like 800, bands will make the image ugly. Even lesser ISO values have banding, but to a small degree. Setting an Auto ISO mode solves the issue. I don't know the technical reasons behind it.
Here's a photo of my led monitor with ISO set to 800:

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?

Can't see any of the images
I can not see any images.
This is not meant to be a scientific test, I have 10 minutes or so of spare time so I just thought I'd test this.
No HDR, no anti-shake (as in compositing multiple photos into 1), no nothing just simple click to shoot.
The champions are:
1. Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A G906L, with 16MP sensor

2. HTC One X Endeavour, with 8MP sensor
3. Sony Alpha NEX-5 2011, with 16MP sensor
Honestly, I think the S5 looks worse than my ancient relic that is the HTC One X, which was actually tested last so the sky has gotten dimmer. Maybe because the pixels are just way too small. I really think 8MP is good enough for phones for all sharpness purposes.
And then once again, pixel count isn't everything. The 2011 pre-historic Sony camera still wins hands down, even though it has the same pixel count as the S5.
And here are the full views, not full resolutions though, don't think any site will host the full thing for me.
==============================================
But if you look at it the other way, since the sensors are so damn small and you can't make low light photos watchable anyway, why not just boost the pixels and make the daytime photos better, even just slightly?

LOL at people who expect DSLR sensor ISO performance out of a ****ty camera phone sensor. There's a reason why some of those cameras cost $2,500 or more...
I mean, it is just a mobile phone camera so performance will never be as good as a real camera (DSLR), but the only gripe I have with the S5 is the absence of "Low Light" mode that the S4 had, which made it easier, or in other words, known that the setting was dark, therefore allowing the cameras software to adjust for it.
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 :

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

I'm coming from a Oneplus One... I voted 4 out of 5...
I find the photo image quality in low light to be very good and picture not blurry.
Better than my Oneplus One and wife Honor 7.
I could'nt compare with many middle range phones though.
low light is not very good tbh but i bought the phone knowing that because the battery is more important for me and i like the design of the phone. Normal light phots are fine. I am coming from a moto x force with 23mp camera.
Use flash with 1/2 sec exposure & ISO200...
Using stock camera SnapIT app...
Zoom at the wall clock...
Full auto with flash...
With stock camera SnapIT app, using flash with setting below:
