Hi, I've just got my p4xl and when taking photos I keep getting this issue were some pictures looked washed out possibly even greyish. I'm taking these pictures in fluorescent lights (like most work places). Pictures below show the difference.
I'm guessing, with these to pics, it's because of the screen being on in the 2nd pic and it changed the white balance.

Yeah but one has it facing forward and the other is off angle. I'm guessing you don't have your Pixel 2 XL still to compare?

No but I took thousands of pictures like these on my Pixel 2 previously and the white balance never did this. Also I've lost the ability to add portrait blur in Google photos

Well I still think it's a white balancing issue. I had the Pixel 2 XL as well.
Adding portrait blur in Google Photos isn't the camera app. Are you trying to add it to people or things because it only works on people. If you don't get the little pop-up for "Blur-background", try going to edit the photo and if you go to the sliders, you might see the "blur" option.

It's definitely a white balance issue but how do I fix this? The same camera app on the P2 doesn't have this problem.
I know the blur has nothing to do with the camera app, just noticed I couldn't do on my new P4XL when I could on my P2. I know it was part of the feature drop just expected it to be on my new phone too

Try using the "auto" adjust in Google Photos. Helps a lot with white balance issues.
Portrait blur is in your new phone. Did you try what I suggested?

Yeah, no blur slider but the toast option doesn't show up to make the picture a portrait pic, which is strange as I have the latest version of Google photos.

It does I'm prove it but no where near how it should be. I do appreciate the advice.
Just as another perspective, your initial images certainly don't appear washed out or 'grey'. I think the issue you're picking up on, as EeZeEpEe suggested, is white balanced based. Perhaps you're not aware, one of the differences between the 2xl and 4xl, is that the machine-learning-based white balance algorithm is supposed to produce more natural-looking images under harsh lighting conditions, but as it turns out, some edge cases can end up looking worse instead.

Went for a run around sunset and took my post run selfie and the first picture the colour is unedited and the colours are off. The second one I had to edit to make the colours looked natural. I don't understand why it does this. Overall I'm happy with quality of the camera but it is a little annoying.

Nothing special, to be honest. As mentioned in one of the comments under the video, he should have had the camera straight over the phones at the 90 degrees angle and set brightness equally. To me it doesn't seem as if the brightness was set equally... But maybe that's only me.
Aside from that, the screen was displaying everything totally properly I would say. I was a bit worried though about some greenish colour when the Nexus was in the Chrome browser. But that can also be only me.

i agree with this.
the second video is better,90 degrees angle for both.
I hope kernel devs will modify display gamma for a bit more saturated colors,as the one X and iphone 5 :good:
And in the second video the GS3 screen was way too vivid, my eyes hurt But I guess it's just a thing you can get accustomed to, AMOLED screen that is.
Overall, Nexus seems pretty color - accurate to me. As soon as I get mine, I'll definitely post some RAW photos from my DSLR so you guys will be able to truly compare them to others. I think it would be a good idea though to post some decent RAW photos and let the community judge. Simple but effective.

Not sure if it is just me but this video quality was horrendous. Both displays looked awful. I am not sure what he was using for a video camera but for a display comparison I think he needs something better.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
They all look good to me, you cannot go wrong with any screen. People can keep comparing under a camera lens and through the bias of their own monitor, however if you had any of these phones without all the others to compare then you'd be happy.
Personally I prefer OLED because of the black levels but tbh I don't care all that much.

Both displays looked great but you could tell that the Nexus had better colour reproduction and the whites were a lot better as well. S3 definitely seems to have some sort of a hue when it comes to producing whites. In the video he played the black levels looked pretty close.
Must be my display then.. the first video looked great but the second one was no good. I could not get a real great view. I will watch again later using my next 7.

I think you just didn't watch the video long enough. It starts off horrible and I was about to stop the video. But it becomes really clear around the time he starts comparing the snake heads.

I was shocked at how washed out the Nexus 4 display looked to me when I first got it.
I don't notice it at all now - the display is beautiful. The iPhone 5 display appears to be of better overall quality, but I'll take the N4s screen size any day.

It's actually mostly a firmware problem, which basically means that it has to do with the camera drivers. You can overcome some issues with third party software, but some of it won't be fixed without a firmware update.

It's not terrible but it has a big purple overlay and has focusing issues. It likes to autofocus and adjust white balance, and we can't turn that off. Find a light source and open up the camera app and slowly bring the lamp into the frame of the camera. You will start to see it adjusting to the light.
Check out this album of 3 pictures I took yesterday, all I was doing was moving the center of the camera up to get more of the sky, and it totally darkened the field below: http://imgur.com/a/vfGXO
All of those photos in that album, were taken in a minute time span.
There is definitely something wrong with the camera.

Did you have HDR on?
I tried the JB+ camera and didn't find it to be an improvement. I was hoping for a lot more options to adjust the image before capture.
I get the best results (stock camera) with HDR set to OFF, Touch to Focus DISABLED. White balance is jacked up unless you're in sunlight.

Hi all I just received the OTA for Android 4.4.2 so have put together a before and after comparing 4.4 to 4.4.2 for the Nexus 5 camera. Includes some full crop images and video capture as well as the all important autofocus test.
Very pleased with the results looks like Google have made big improvements all round to the camera.

I've tried it in dim light and find the noise to be ok, better than the S4 not as good as HTC One (to be expected)
ISO is ramping more aggressively in still images IMO but not a deal breaker, looks better than the S4 anyway.
The screen is really, really dark in dim light. And the video itself is also really dark.
Case and point, i went to a bar with my girlfriend to eat something. I decided to record something using the camcorder, and well. I'll let the results speak for themselves. It looked like the lights were out in the place. I wish I had thought to take pictures, because it certainly wasn't as dark as the video would lead you to believe.

No it's not. A rhetorical question is still a form of question, "you've obviously not tried the camcorder in dim light" however is not, so the use of question mark is inappropriate? (See what I did there? <-- rhetorical question.)

I'm starting to think that we're all seeing the same thing and just coming up with different interpretations due to subjective differences. There's no other reason that everyone would be having such wildly different results using the same software and hardware.
All I know is that video recording on my phone in low light is MUCH, MUCH darker than it was on either 4.4 or 4.4.1. I wish I had taken some screenies before updating to show you.

Are the results with 4.4 much better? This has really got to be on the edge of what the sensor can do in video so the results don't surprise me.

Uhh, actually I remember I have another low light recording that I did on 4.4 when I was in a restaurant. Very low ambient lighting. The test was more to see the image stabilization during recording, but the lighting was comparable to the bar.

Those two videos have completely different lighting. If you took a light meter into those two places (restaurant vs bar) you'll find that the bar is really much darker.
I'm not saying that 4.4.1/2 isn't worse - just that these two videos don't make a good comparison.

What's funny is that I had spotlighting right above my head (direct, LED bright lighting) IN the bar at the table I was sitting at, which would make it look like stage lighting.
But it looks as if it's horrendously dark in there and all of the ambient LED's look like christmas lights thanks to the recording and the contrast of light sources. Trust me when I say it was a lot brighter in the bar than the video would lead you to believe.

That looks exactly like I would expect a video from a dimly lit bar to look.
I didn't think to take any photos at the time, but the difference between the photo viewfinder mode and the camcorder mode was incredibly noticeable, very similar to the screen caps of the viewfinders posted in the 4.4.2 first thoughts thread.
edit: Here is the thread if you somehow missed it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2562886
There's is an artefact of specific shape right in the center of the image, when objects of specific pattern are captured.
The artefact is most visible, when the vivid colour mode is selected, and almost invisible (but still existing), when shooting with normal colour mode. It's invisible in b/w, and I've never seen it on objects not having a textile-like pattern.
A crop of one my photos (vivid colours) is attached.

Looks like the problem is software-related, because people haven't noticed any artefacts in raw images, for example.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
I've checked several patterns en direction of that pattern but it seems to be OK on my 10 pro. I also checked a hundred or so other photo's, all clear afaic.

Maybe, your patterns dont suite Anyways, at least 3-4 people did notice it. Its really hard to see, if taking a photo with normal colors, and easier to see, if using vivid colors mode. Btw, I've tried to take a photo of the image that I attached from my monitor, and in vivid colors its possible to get the mentioned artefact - though rather difficult.

The best thing would be to make Huawei aware of this asap. Tweet them, email them. Etc. It won't be fixed if they aren't aware it's an issue.

The rear camera is the best out there for sure, but why Google went down in the specs of front camera?!
The battery also needed to improve better, we are in 2019 not 2016,Google needs to make 4000ma batteries and more, this is one of the most important things for users.
Everybody says front facing camera is not important as rear, but you can see people at the street, when traveling always makes selfie photos, so you need to improve it also or not make it less better than your previous phone
Got to say I'm pretty impressed by the sharpness regarding contours on my end. You're definitely using the cam the wrong way, or got a faulty sensor.

I said I was wrong about the megapixels, but you don't have a Pixel 4 xl.
You're not rooted? Yet you're using three button navigation and your home button is missing the circle around the home button that has been present since the first Pixel xl. Pic is attached showing your navbar and what it looks like with three button navigation enabled on the pixel 4 xl. You're likely using a phone with a skimmed down version on Android on another phone. You're navigation bar looks similiar to the one on the Essential phone without the circle around the nav bar. I've attached a pic of that as well.
Also your clock is supposed to be on the left side. Signal and battery are supposed to be on the right. Pic is attached of how it's supposed to look.
Was going to say that your Google Lens icon is missing, but it's not available in Israel.
Anyhow, chances are is that you're using some random Gcam mod that you've posted about in the past.

What are you saying?! In Hebrew the buttons and the clock are opposite to English, im using pixel 4 xl 2 days brand new, attached my system details!
Lack of sharpness is probably more like lack of focus. The front facing camera is fixed focus. It's no different than my Pixel 2 XL and both do fine for me. You gotta hold it a little steadier. Something that helps is using the 3 second timer so tapping the on screen shutter or the volume button don't produce extra movement.
