XZ1 Manual Camera Settings - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Can anyone with phone check what options there are to setup in manual camera. I have 4 on my xzp, and I see XZ1 have 5, I guess they move ISO now where is WB SS, etc...
Can anyone also confirm that you can change SS and ISO in manual without ISO going back to auto if u change shutter speed. I was happy on my XZP to see shutter speed settings but if i change it, then ISO is on auto
Also did they allow more shutter speed then 1s on xz1?

The first option on the left means reset.

can anyone confirm if you can shoot in raw with third party apps?

The current firmware doesn't allow the usage of the RAW format.

All the settings are manual now and Independent.
Unfortunately 1s is maximum.

Best Camera setting for Z2

What is best Camera setting for Z2? superior auto with 8MP? superior auto 20.7MP? other camera app? some tweaks?
I'm not good at taking picture like manual mode.....
not exactly a best setting
you have to adjust your Exposure,ISO,metering and white balance accordingly to where you are and your surroundings
I can't see a difference in 20 vs 8. Even cropping and zooming in every thing looks the same.
try this
There isn't a real settings (depends on situation if you are). Well 20.7 megapixels in superior auto is usefull in certain situation, because this mode use the scene mode and high iso settings(over 800) in certain situations. In manual mode those thigs are locked in 20.7 megapixels. In low light situations, for example it's very usefull :good:. Some 3rd party apps unlocked some scenes,iso mode in 20.7 megapixels. I suggest to you procapture(the quality of image in 100% is amazing,night mode strangely increased it),a better camera and camaringo For front camera i think is better to use in most cases the sony camera....the images are less noisy BONUS(if you would a boost in image quality,it's the same in every android. ): You can also mod build.prop to have 100% image quality or mod memcap of image...but i suggest to search on internet for this, if you can try
EDIT: Oh i forgot, i suggest you to use mult autofocus and muti methering in manual camera with camera button for best photo!
Why i cannot manually choose the iso i want to take photo with other apps, i know what i am doing using ISO100 suddenly it become ISO800 when i hit the shutter.
My Z2 is rooted but still locked bootloader.

I don't know...it's a sony drm limitation? I advice you to use for iso modification , the stock manual camera for other things, the 3rd party apps :good: the results are also really great
I have a question,wanted to create a thread for it but thought i can just ask here,though i might as well go ahead to create the thread if i dont get the answer here.
Is there a way to tweak/modify/change the functionality of the camera button i.e to change the camera which the camera button launches,say from stock to any third party app? I think the ProCapture is a good one

It's a good rom with 3.12 base (the 1.8 i downloaded directly in chinese forum...whith help of google translate eheheh...but in the last page of that topic there is the link ) . The fact of camera button of my rom is related because i don't use stock lockscreen If i use stock lockscreen,camera button open only stock camera. Try snaplock lockscreen(you can find this in playstore) .

There's is a separate post in the guides section. Which explains how to. This is for the snapdragon/pro variant. I can't say for your version of miui yes or no. But there's a post just about that. So that would be the place to ask

Good sharing, but i can't use manual setting. I've enabled camera 2 api, Manual camera, proshot and open camera works flawlessy, but with this i can't set my exposure time and iso. When i try to change vales, black screen, does'nt FC, but camera turns to black images. So black photo. Possible that have lost libraries?

I notice the manual iso doesn't allow for full control. It works fine with shutter speed set to manual and manual iso. But when set to auto shutter speed. Iso adjustment doesn't go high enough. Leaving u with a very dark screen unless u use manual on both iso and shutter
Here's a photo moving my hand fast with .5s shutter speed and 100 iso. The values on manual iso/shutter need adjusting for this device but when both set to manual works great. I'm not a software writer so I can't. I could try but is that safe haha wonder if @TheStrix would wanna use this on the official cm13 build. Few adjustments and its a perfect stock camera. With the camera2 api functions

Improvements for the camera

Hi guys, the camera of this smartphone has a lot of potential but it is accompanied by an application and an software bad optimized.
The video lost frequently the focus.
I myself have noticed some small improvements by just changing applications.
is there any fix or some rom the camera system, ( especially during the video ) ?
Inviato dal mio Le X820 utilizzando Tapatalk
Yes, the software and application are pretty bad.
And corner softness to the left and to the right is very present.
I modified the media_profiles.xml file to improve image quality of video.

The autofocus is bugged in video too, this is unusable. I hope an update soon.

We hope they update the firmware and help resolve this issue soon. The phone has great hardware but the firmware is just crappy at the moment. Hopefully they can sort out some of these issues. And I would have preferred to have and option to turn on or off the drop down notification bar, not to be stuck with the left button trigger..if so annoying when you are used to basically most android phone have that notification drop down style.

If you have root access, you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/testing-camera-2-api-t3422364
works for me
I'm on stock rom 016s and I can shoot RAW with Open Camera in .dng format.
Just modify the build.prop as described in the thread "[TESTING] Camera 2 api", select the option for raw in Open Camera. For build.prop editing you need to be rooted.
The RAW files are about 41mb in size but strangely I cannot edit them with Snapseed. Will investigate on this.
Edit: works with RAW Decoder

I did all that mentioned, Manual Camera Compatibility app said it does support RAW now however, Camera FV-5 and Manual Camera itself do not work. The options are greyed out and the .dng that it created is not viewable in lightroom mobile. I did managed to get one but it does not look anything like 21mp at all! The pictures were all washed out. I just updated to cuoco92's latest 17s rom.

best camera app for redmi note 4

I've tried many roms with many camera apps but couldn't find one in which, portrait mode, hdr+ and slow motion(however slow motion isn't important for me at all) are working.
The best app that I found was the stock crdroid camera but neither does it have portrait mode plus it's hdr is very slow.
Can someone please provide me the best app that just works and has the features i mentioned above.

I think that your experience with the gcam mods might be determined by the camera sensor on your phone. I have a Samsung sensor, and most of the mods work reasonably well (sometimes you have to tweak the settings). I have stayed with Arnova8G2 v6. It does FC sometimes, but it mostly good. The settings can be tweaked for improvements over default settings ("Auto"), but not all of them work well. If you choose very high resolution HDR settings, the shutter will be very slow - but the picture will be very good. I don't really use the portrait mode, so I can't comment on that. Before Arnova8G2, I used Cstark27 mods - and they were excellent too. But I think Arnova has the edge.
In any case, you can have a look at this repository of gcam mods.

I don't know of a straightforward way of getting that information. You will need to search the forum for that.
The method that I use is not straightforward. It depends on initd functionality, and this is not generally available in ROMs. Basically, I run dmesg from an initd script, and redirect the output to a file. I then parse the file and look for any of these;
1. "ofilm_s5k3l8" (sensor=Samsung)
2. "ofilm_imx258" (sensor=Sony)
3. "qtech_ov13855" (sensor=Omnivision)
You can of course run dmesg at any time from a root terminal. However, you need to capture the output early enough (i.e., during the bootup process) or the values you are looking for would be long gone.
PS: I don't know much about Kernel Adiutor - but it may be that it can help you to run the command to capture the necessary information, even without initd functionality. Maybe someone else can speak to that.

I'm on arnova v6 now and it's perfect. The only problem is that the front camera is mirroring/reversing the pictures I take which is incredibly annoying. Do you guys know of a system-wide or app limited tweak that can disable this? Or perhaps an alternative to this gcam which has that feature but also.has portrait mode and HDR+ working.

In these apps when you take a picture from the front camera, it is saved as mirrored as compared to the camera preview screen when you're positioning tot take the picture (for e.g a face looking at the left comes as right or vice versa). There is an option in the miui camera settings to disable this and also on most other camera apps. I want to disable this here too.
