I have the same problem: images from the front camera are too dark. Useless for video chat unless the face is illuminated directly by a strong light source.
Luckily, I don't generally use video chat, so it's not a deal-breaker for me. But still, an annoyance.

Yes, I agree, got my S yesterday, n checked the front camera n the image is blakish until u put light on face.
Its gonna be very difficult for video chatting.
It's strange this is from a natural source of light. And it is a lot better. Maybe it could be something to do with the type of light. I'am glad it is not only me.

The front cam is ok wen it is focussed on natural light even I to face the same problem...
The cam is dark wen I take it to my room for video chat but its absolutely fine when I take it out to sunlight
So it depends on the type of light and the brightness of light
So in short dont worry your tab and cam is ok there is no defect....guess since it is 0.3mp. It dosent have the ability to capture dim light perfectly....

I agree on that, its dim and dark only when inside room, but in natural bright sunlight or where there is more light, it acts normally.
I don't have this problem when video chatting with my friend using QQ, but they are all during day time.

Here is a picture with the front camera (the dark picture)
And the other is a picture using the back camera (the light picture)
It is not an exaggeration they are both in the same amount of light. The light is artifical light.

Hi,
since we already got Bravia Engine, xLoud, DLNA. is it possible if we add Sony Exmor R into x10? i sometimes take pictures at night club, even with light on and Bravia Engine by Z, the picture still not satisfying.

Pretty sure the Exmor R Sensor on the Arc is a physical hardware sensor on the phone...

No need, just steal them from arc's ROM.

Taking pictures: its more to do with the photographer then the camera. I bet if you give me an extreme low end camera I can still get a decent picture from it.
Dont use auto focus in such low light such as a club...use infinity.....if you dont keep steady when you press that shutter button your gonna end up with a blurry picture because under low light your shutter speed will be to slow. The flash on the X10 sucks and isnt anywhere close enough to compensate for the slow shutter speed. Ive taken pictures in clubs with this exact phone...by resting my elbows on a table to help keep as steady as possible my pictures have been really good considering.
Exmore r is hardware sony uses (sensor) even in the mid-high end point & shoots....therefore cannot be used on our X10.

Glad to see there is one person at least here that knows the fundamentals of photography and possibly even more.
Someone has to read some things about taking night pictures the importance of existing light and how exactly your shutter behaves when you are in night capture mode rather than requesting better hardware thinking that he's asking about software or some kind of MOD (aka Exmore R).
hey guys this is a spoof thread here about x10 cam, i though i could get some for my cam but figure out that i my end up getting an app or widget of a sensor heheheeh and that will make my cam to work at night heheheeh
hello guys, i need to know for sure if my camera is defect or not since i need to exchange it by monday.
the pics are attached.
i have taken the pics with and without night mode. the ones taken with night mode are much brighter and have much more severe flare.
is that normal?
Its all good.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Nightmode increases the iso hence the lighter pictures. You should notice either more noise in the picture or loss in sharpness as the built in noise reduction kicks in. The flare you see is lenses flare from the bright light sources in the picture and us a result of the increase in iso. Its all basic photography stuff, and no your cameras not buffered.
Better quality cameras and lenses can reduce it to some extent but mobile and compact cameras are very limited which us why people pay thousands for dslr's cameras and even more for quality lenses.

how can u say, daytime pics are great, video too. but night and low light is not as good though. u know any other better camera on the market?
Camera lens might be broken
My camera suddenly had problems with focusing and the pictures were terrible/not as good as they used to. Inspecting the camera lens closely did not reveal anything odd.
When I disassembled the back of my phone (removed the battery cover, removed the screws and gently took apart the back of the phone housing) I still could not see anything wrong with my camera lens/cover. The lens/cover is part of the back of the phone housing.
However, then I held the lens/cover up against a really bright light and looked through the lens/cover, I discovered that there are several layers in this lens/cover and that one of them had cracks (looked like a snowflake). It was impossible to see this without disassembling the phone housing and holding the cover up against a bright light looking though it.
Trying to take a picture without the cover everything was perfect. Ordered a new phone housing from ebay the same day...
Your pictures seems to have the same characteristics as mine; not focused and a bit blurry. Try to remove the back of your phone housing and see if that helps. If it does; order a new phone housing.

A camera that only works properly in daylight is a terrible camera, regardless of how good the daytime photos are. Tbh I'm just a bit mad about the night video focus crap.
btw, with the old rom my lens was moving out hitting the glass making a clicking noise, xxkg1 (XEF)
now updated official poland version
( http://www.android-hilfe.de/origina...aki3-i9100xxki3-i9100xxki3-kies-offiziel.html )
and there is no clicking? is that normal?
Also, with the new version (Poland) that has no cliicking, when i change the scene to text (i guess its macro in english) i do get a small clicking sound again - the lens moving against the glass.

Manual focus would also be good when taking pics up real close. My cam will get in focus but the autofocus adjusts it, and its no longer in focus, this only happens up really close...lmk if you find one.

Yes, but it doesn't work at like 4 inches. But the phone is capable of focusing there, because in the middle of the auto focusing its clear for a second, but when it finally "focuses" its out of focus. All of my smart phones have done that.....also sometimes clear water throws off the autofocus.

Cool app, allows a lot of extra settings(like bracketing, so you can manually create HDR thru pc apps or photoshop, better quality) - but still no manual focus(check instructions here http://www.camera.flavionet.com/tutorials/camera_manual.php)
A cool app, but I for one am still wanting to find an app that allows manual focus while still doing high quality - I don't want an app that only takes lower resolution pictures..

I'm just not sure an app like that exists, based on design (of our camera and its image sensor) it seems that a manually focusing camera app would only be imitating the actual function of manual focus.
This option in fv-5 is the closest I've seen yet, though its not even similiar to true MF
" Infinity. Set the focus to infinity. Tapping on the screen always result in focus confirmation and AF is not triggered."

A manual focus app doesn't exist because, simply, the functions to support it do not exist.
Look on developer.android.com and you will only find autofocus functions for adjusting camera focus, like:
public final void autoFocus (Camera.AutoFocusCallback cb)
public final void cancelAutoFocus ()
public void setAutoFocusMoveCallback (Camera.AutoFocusMoveCallback cb)

Probably the only good quality camera they have/can afford. The camera on this phone is better than any digital camera I've bought yet. Lol also, I know after buying this phone, I was broke for awhile. I didn't have an upgrade and bought it out right.
But it is frustrating as hell when I get a picture I want to take, it focuses perfectly on the object, just to auto focus and lose it. Like, ill try and focus on an object, and during the auto focus I see it go clear for a second just to skip over this perfect shot and blur the image instead.

I have hot pixels on my front camera sensor! I attatched a picture of me hanging out with a friend and you can clearly see the hot lixels EVERYWHERE! It doesnt hapen in indoor shots nor with the back camera. Should I take it back (the phone)?
I am starting to think that I bought a crappy phone I mean it get hot as hell, I have cellular issues, and now the camera? WTF! K should have bought the One X
That's Normal,the front camera have a low resolution sensor.

No no no. It cant be a low resolution problem. In lower light conditions, the photos ale less crisp of course, but dont have theese white dots all over them. I think the sensor might be oversensitive to light or something

Yeah, I gues you are right... Should have fought about it a little sooner... Sorry
Front cameras should't be so noisy.
My girlfriend iPhone 4S makes bit noisy and blurred photos, but no hot pixels.
Don't know if this problem is asked before, but its really bad with the camera when it comes to focusing in ICS...
was far better with GB...!!!
But recently i tried on Xperia Acro S, which also had ICS, but it doesn't have a hint of this issue, the camera just focuses
right away even in low light and the image is stunning sharp.
I know its a 12MP, but still whats holding the focus, i don't understand....!!!
Please if anybody out there can find a better solution to this...
Also in another way. is it possible to port the camera app from GB to ICS..??
the xperia sola's camera performs like s*** especially in low light, i haven't experienced that while using cm9 though.
I agree, GB was quite good with the camera.
That's not the case with ICS though, before .54 it was even worse as it couldnt even take the pic when it turned on the led and it took it half a second later.
With .54 now, it's much better but camera app lags like hell and sometimes it reboots.
poor night vision!
same is the case with my sxu...day photographs are really good..but night pics are really bad...night mode seems to be of no use and flash is too bright!
So is it possible to port the camera app from GB to ICS..?? anyone..????

Guys, all of you missing a point. If you are using even standard camera not phone cam, might be a problem to focus in low light. Its caused by sensor sensitivity. Its very small, doesnt matter how much megapixels or how big iso. Sensitivity is only one and iso gets higher with software. All you need is contrast. Try a small test, get low light and try focus into complete dark, you will not get focus, even with DSLR you get nothing. But find a spot where dark gets lighter and try focus, you will get something.
Most cameras these days are using small light to get a bit of light into darkness, if you have this function, use it and you will get better low light focusing.
Its not a bug, its a physics.
EDIT: sola doesnt have this functionality. But you can still focus in spot where is high contrast e.g. light dark place in actual pic. Or use flashlight to get some light. And you canask rizal, cyber shot creator, to add this functionality into cyber shot mod.
