Hi Guys...
I just read on Xperiablog that a new firmware is released (55.0.A.2.314), i have personally not got it yet (I am in The Netherlands), If anyone of you have got it already i am curious is there any improvement other than the security patch??
Looking forward to any feedback.

Download the firmware using xperifirm, then use newflasher to flash it.
Or just wait for your region to get the latest version.

Lmao they tweaked sound vol higher, now my ear speaker is cracking while playing music ?
1. Is there 21:9 ratio for pictures?
2. Is there a fix for 4k video stabilization?
3. Is there 4k 60fps mode?
4. How is battery life?
5. Can we add more home pages to the left and select main screen(home)?
6. Did wifi connection improve?
7. Is the vivid mode for screen back?
8. Is the performance mode for STAMINA back?
9. Is disturbing sound when listening to music via bluetooth headset gone? I mean there is one since it is changing quality or caused by "headphones" app.
10. Are there more color options for main theme / wallpaper?

Can't really comment on the picture quality as I've had mixed results since day 1. It's usually hit an miss.... But the slow album and loading of captured images is till here. The delay between switching lenses is still there. I guess we need to wait for the next firmware update....

Slow album loading? Never had that issue for me. If your pictures are saved to the microsd card, make sure your microsd card isn't slow.
Finally Got the Update in Netherlands
I finally got the update this morning (Region R9A). My impression is the overall performance has definitely increased, it mush much more responsive. Fingerprint gets it right every single attempt, before this i kinda had given up on the FPR, and was using the pin every time.
After taking a picture it does process a tad bit faster and album do load ever so slightly faster.
Other than this i haven't really noticed any difference in camera quality or any new added feature. Maybe once they launch in US, more features maybe added (Finger crossed), also with the added number of users across the pond, we may finally have some developer who would be able to port GCAM to this phone.

I have over 50k pictures mostly whatsapp so it's kinda slow loading however on my XZ premium i never had issues.
Any new change ?
Good to know I wasn't the only one struggling with fingerprint sensor. Half the time it says 'Not recognized' or 'partial fingerprint detected'.

Am I the only one really pissed off by the removal of Smart Burst capability from Google Camera in our Pixel 3 in Android 10?
I just can't believe it... So useful thing, just removed supposedly in favour of Top Shot, which is something that covers just part of what you could do with Smart Burst.
Google, I can't believe it...

Worst part, I can't roll back because the USB port on my pixel 3 has been dead.
This is very messed up! I use the 3 takes a lot of sport action photos. That 1.5 sec via Top Shot is not enough time.
This update is total BS!!!

it was such a useful feature. top shot just doesn't have enough frames!
You buy a phone with a set of features... and less and a year after, Google just removes one of them... I still can't believe.
They didn't remove the uninstall updates feature, but it's instead hidden underneath the overflow menu on the app info page. You can revert the app back to the version which still includes Burst photos.

Nope not the only one... I miss this feature a lot. As long as the quality of the "Top shot pictures" is lower than a "normal picture" (which is the case at the moment) it's no replacement for "Smart burst"..... :/
Is there a way to have the version with Smart burst still in and the latest version of the camera app installed at the same time ... Then I could at least choose the old version whenever I want to use Smart burst.
Smartburst restored!
Pixel 2 XL: I went to the Google play store and found the Google camera. I hit the "uninstall" button and Smartburst is back without losing the other updates.
Hope this works for others!

The feature wasn't really removed. They just changed how you access it. Simply press and hold the shutter button and it records a video. The video records up to 30 fps and then you can select the single frame from that recording and save it as a photo with hdr processing applied. Enjoy!
It was not that way when burst mode dissapeared... You're replying a rather old topic.
Thanks anyway.

Hi! I had just been uninstalling camera updates to get smart burst back, which worked until I updated my Android OS. So I just installed PX camera (the most recent version for Pixel 2), and I don't see an option to restore smart burst. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction to find the setting in the PX mod? After ruining a bunch of Christmas photos/videos by trying to use top shot (thinking it was just video recorder), I've spent a few hours this evening trying to fix this camera. No luck. I'd appreciate any additional help! Thanks!

I found it under the PX Mod settings just right under the 4k Time Lapse option. Though, I've never use the smart burst feature before, so I can't really tell you if it's working.

Thanks for your quick reply! I'm not seeing that OR the 4k Time Lapse option on my 8.1 version (the one recommended for the Pixel 2). I may have to try another version of PX Mod and see if it's there. Though my camera speed has greatly slowed down since I installed it, so I may just uninstall. (Or it slowed down since the forced update that came with android... not sure which one.)
Thanks for the help!

Oh, you beautiful human, Xeust! I followed a link on an old thread from October 2019 and installed that version of PX Mod. Not sure what the file version was, but when I go to "About," I have version 4.2 of PX Mod now, and I see the Smart Burst option right where you said it would be. I turned it on, and it appears to be working! Can't wait to test it in action on my kid. Thank you so, so much! I don't have to quit buying Google products now.
Here's that new gcam version
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-7-0-009-259843690-release/
have fun trying it out.
The portrait mode in selfies doesn't seem to be working properly. I like the new look of the setting
(pull down from anywhere). That 16:9 format doesn't make sense though - at least not for P3 users...
Thanks...i will try it out....

It is automatically inside night vision you just have to set the focus to Infinity and than make a Foto. Tada! There is no special button or option for astrophotography.

Guys, just seconds ago, I found, that there's the (from what I guess) new photo pro app from xperia 1 III is available here apkmirror.com
I tried to install and it worked!
Not able to take a screenshot as it's forbidden by system (not really necessary, sony). It has the new basic mode, that was shown on press release.
What are the differences with the mark II version? Difference in image quality or options?
From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.
Thanks for posting that. I've tried it and it's great except that I normally open photo Pro in manual mode but this new app defaults to the basic camera app so you then have to change it to the camera pro app yourself. A small thing but just one more step that we didn't have previously when the two were separate apps. I see no setting to change how it opens by default so if anyone else does...
On a positive note, I may be imagining a slight thing but I think quality has maybe improved fractionally. To be specific, everyone has raved about this phone taking RAW files that you can develop yourself ( even though I think most flagship phones do now ) but I have always found that indoor shots with this phone in RAW always require a tripod which means you are just as well getting your real camera out. The ISO has to be low otherwise there is so much noise that even tools in lightroom struggle to fix it. But I think I see less noise now in handheld shutter speeds in low light.
But thanks to OP for spotting this app & bringing it to our attention.
BTW, how does anyone know this is the app from Xperia 1 iii when it's not released yet? Is there information on Sony website?
Many thanks.

I always open the Pro app with a push on the camera button. The new Pro app can be configured to open in Pro mode when pressing the camera button, so it works great for me.
Thanks very much. Ye, I saw you can choose the default in new settings too. I'm enjoying the new app.
Good find. Works well on the Xperia 5II as well.

The is a setting for "Open in last mode used". Since I always use the Pro Mode that works for me.
After installing the APK, can't choose the photo pro as option with camera key.
What I need to do to choose the photo pro as default?
Had to remap power button gesture to use the photo pro app. Camera button does not have photo pro option after installing this APK

That's what I've done too, with button mapper app. Howerver, it does not work when screen is off for my non rooted device. Don't forget to set photopro bypass in button mapper when photopro is active.
Tap tap app is also an interesting option.
For now I removed the update and reverted to the original Pro app.

Is there a way how to downgrade to original Photo Pro w/o root? I fear the answer is no.
It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

Hi guys! I have a question, is the photo pro app on sony xperia pro I the same as on xperia 1 mark iii. If they are different can i install photo pro app on sony xperia pro I for 1 mark iii?
Hi, I've watched there is an edit photo app that seems like Lightroom to edit raw file.

No it can't. The Xperia 1 iii has a fixed aperture on the cameras. fixed meaning cannot be changed. Changing this option on the camera app will do nothing since the hardware doesn't exist on the phone
The Xperia Pro I has a variable aperture, when using the camera app to change the aperture, it will make, in simpler terms, the mechanical hole opening bigger or smaller.
