Hey
I just bought a xperia Z3 compact. I am now wondering if there is a good camera app that can make HDR pictures at full resolution. Anybody found a solution for that?
Thorsten
Camera JB+
Aosp interface, hdr + 20MP
HDR at the Z3C is always max 8MP right? Don't think that another app can use the full20MP??!
BTW, there is no real time HDR preview available like with the iphone right?

No real time, but definitely 20MP + hdr. Using this since day one.

With the Sony app or some other software? Just checked and the HDR option on the Sony camera app is grayed out for 20MP and 15MP resolutions.

Sony Xperia Z5 (E6653) stock no root
Quality is better or worst that Sony stock?
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hard to say, just test it out ?
Now I've Tested it and the quality isn't soo good.. But 23mp support. Slowly it goes up Hill with camera support
Sony Xperia Z5 (E6653) stock no root
I test it in low light, it is better than sony cameraui.
But no any option to change scenes or change ev or white balance or iso
Thanks bro!
8mp looks better than 20mp though, but overall lowlight pictures seems better than stock Sony cam

Their software isn't that bad at all, there's just still space for improvement.
Most people use 20 or 23 Mp, which will give lots of noise because there's a lot data captured and Sony processing the image a bit harder then.
I mainly use 8mp, in fact, it's the only resolution I use since photos come out much better.
Only when u zoom in on a taken picture u see 20 or 23mp has bit more detail but in general I would just recommend 8mp.

This is just a basic camera, there is no much options,
camera does not have image stabilization, you can only have full hd resoultion of the video recording, also no manual settings support.
And I would not say HTC Camera is better than Sony camera app, it is just the same or maybe little worst.
Camera ICS+ 1.7.0. - another third party camera app, which support full resolution on Z5. Working fine! ?

Camera ics + is not bad. Thanks for telling me about it [emoji106] I hope they add more features like manual ISO in future updates.

Fantastic, thank you for the update, I had uninstalled the ICS+ camera app and was not aware of the rescent update in the latest release. Just tested it and it is working really good, simple without clutter, quick startup and can even record 4k movies.
I made a quick un-scientific comparison between ICS+ 1.7.0 and stock camera, and I prefered the result from ICS+ 1.7.0. details was better perserfed and not overoptimized. More manual controls and I will be very happy.
Camera FV5 now support full resolution on all Z5! Working fine ??

sorry to burst the bubble in general , camera F-V5 is the worst quality camera app i have ever seen.
never they could ever support any SONY device with ISO control. (used, xperia P, U, T, TX , V, Z, Z1c and now Z5 DSDS)
Open camera now gives the control to enable Camera 2 API on Xperia Z5
and thus I can control shutter speed from 1/10s to 1/10000s with manual ISO from 50 to 3200
which is very cool
but open camera doesnt support full 23 MP resolution , so stuck at 8 MP which sucks
if only Camera FV-5 guys could implement Camera 2 API for Xperia Z5 or Open Camera developers could manage to access full resolution of the IMX300 sensor !!!! it would be unbeatable

I don't think Sony have released Camera 2 API for our devices which means it shouldn't exist on any other app when using it.

WRONG.
Sony did implemented the partial Camera2 API into the Z5 firmware . It only lacks the DNG RAW support as sony never wrote the code for the actual bayer array data type in the camera driver for IMX300 sensor.
The only good thing is that IMX300 does support RAW capture in terms of hardware lanes and bus speed.
SONY just needs to write codes for bayer array data type and implement the Camera2 API to access that globally.
right now using Camera2 API 2 apps in the market are able to control shutter speed and ISO individually to capture very nice quality images
1- Open Camera
2 - Manual Camera
but both of em are only capable of 8 MP shots. (app manufacturers fault )
Sony fault is that they have limit the shutter speed between only 1/10s to 1/10000s
which is grate for upper limit i guess as high end DSLRs only support 1/8000s shutter speed and u never need more than that but slow shutter is very desirable, at least up to 30s flat if not possible to implement the BULB.
Probably not worth mentioning but if I could get my hands on the actual IMX300 driver source code I would do the coding myself for sure. I have written (edited , added ) Sony Ericsson K750i's camera driver (CAMDRIVER0.DAT) in assembly with several new functions to implement BULB shutter speed and multiple strike flashes, extreme saturation and so on.......

Open Camera is an Open source project am I right? can we just implement the 23 MP support?
If you know anything about it I would be glad to let me know if you have any clue on it
EDIT: now that I check the open camera codes there has been an implementation fix for maximum resolution for Z5 ... and it seemed to worked when I compiled it
EDIT2: Sorry my mistake I have mistakenly downloaded A Better Camera codes and that actually have fixed the Z5 camera ... however it looks like that for Xperia Z5 to have 23MP camera it has disabled the Camera2 API 2 in order to works ...
It's looking okay for me, still should look much better with a 23mp camera.

Resurrecting a dead thread, but someone might still be interested.
I've patched OpenCamera to support full resolution on Z5C. The code is on github.

Do you have an apk available for download that people could test?
Hello fellas,
I was looking at the specs of the XZ3's main camera compared to the XZ1, and hardware-wise, they seem to be the same.
I see that XZ3 has some AI functions and processing as an advantage and I was wondering:
Couldn't Sony just upgrade the processing of the photos for the XZ1 series along with the Android Pie that will come?
*I know that this is not their main focus, it's just a matter of "respect" for the customers with good HW and sh*tty SW for the camera.
Take care!
Camera is same 19mp i think. Snapdragon. 835 no slouch
Camera processing has already been greatly improved for the XZ2, making it one the best photophone of 2018...
And as the XZ2, XZ3 has the powerful SoC S845...

Exactly bro and xz2 and xz3 have same camera, only xz3 have another camera ui because Android P
835 is not as good as 845, I get it.
How about the Mate 10 Pro taking better pictures? Or other phones with an even worse CPU compared to SD835?
I don't think that it's a CPU "limitation"....
Sorry, my bad. There were 2 words missing from my post that might've been a little misleading.
In my post, I want to know if the XZ3's main camera is the same as the XZ1's main camera. I forgot to mention that, so maybe that's why some of you referred to the CPU comparison.
Not only if the main camera is the same, but if you think that there is still hope for the XZ1's camera to take better pictures than it is doing right now, with a little help from the newly coming Android Pie(maybe they include some image processing there also).
Fingers crossed.
Cheers.

No its not the same, only xz2 and xz3 are the same
Not saying it's not true, just did not find that information anywhere. )
How do you know that they are different?

1. Where do you have the data from?
2. They look pretty similar to me.(not 100%, I agree)
3. The XZ1 does not have a 13MP front facing camera, that's for sure, but out of the discussions's scope.

Yes it has. Sony XPERIA XZ1 has 13 MPX front facing camera. Your data is false. Check informations again. XZ1 Compact, XZ2 Compact and XZ2 have 5 MPX front facing camera.
From XZs main camera is the same only on XZ2 Compact and XZ2 camera software processing is much better.
i think autofocus may be improved from "what - about half a second" on the XZ2 to "0.03s" on the XZ3 which would seem like an improvement. i'm hoping this brings video autofocus closer to the speed of the galaxy S8 and oneplus6 which are basically instant in adequate light.

while the camera module might be the same (though there is some talk that the lenses have been improved) the big difference is in the new Spectra 280 ISP that's part of the SD 845. Sony apparently helped design it. There is a noticeable improvement in the XZ2 over the XZ1. I would expect the XZ3 to be pretty much the same.
I updated my Firmware on my XZ3 and now the camera shows Just a Black screen while taking pictures.
Anyone Else got this problem...? ?
