Hi Devs... do you know if there is a way to change the jpeg compression on Xperia X10 with android 2.1? is a little frustrating to have a 8mpx camera and be limited to 2mb photos...
8MP in a ~2MB jpeg is normal. My bro's pro Canon makes 3MB raw picture, but it's only 2MP
So what? Wait till the bootloader gets cracked. Did you see maxfron's latest post? He makes great progress on it
We don't have to wait.
Just use a different Camera-Application ( I use Camera 360 Pro, it compresses less)
Or decompile and rewrite the SE Camera-Application.
the problems is, the photos taken with the stock camera the quality of jpeg compression is very poor... i don't like vignette or camera 360, just don't feel good with the interface and in all that options there is no way to change the ISO value nor the shutter velocity, neither with the stock camera app but at least is "free".
Guys check this out
This SEMC camera mod by 28spawn works great for me.

I don't think the raw format has been implemented yet in the android SDK. There are placeholders for raw functionality however. So perhaps eventually.
As for JPG compression I would think the stock sony cam app makes the most of the camera and sets quality to 100. JPG is a lossy format though so will not be perfect.
Try turning image stabilization off. It will result in a sharper image.

What is the camera compression ratio in the samsung galaxy S II??
On a few phones in the market, by modifying some system files, you can decrease the compresion ratio, and ende, gain more quality of every picture..
I think SGSII, with 2, 3Mb photos, doesn't compress the images right?
Thanks
no answers?
use vignette, the photos are bit better, file 4-6meg, only looks a bit better if you zoom in.
Hello
I have a smartphone with a 5mpx camera so it captures pictures with a resolution of 2560*1920, but on panorama mode each piece of picture have a resolution of 640*480, poor when zooming the picture.
I tried a lots of applications but the same conclusion, except ProCapture - camera + panorama which delivers a better quality on panorama mode, but it's still below my expectations, and the quality of the panorama is below the quality of normal photos
example, I took two pictures with camera pro, one with normal mode and the other with the panorama mode, the normal photo has a resolution of 2560*1920 and 4594*789 for panorama photo, logically panorama photo is composed of 4 photos than it should have a resolution of 2560x4 = 10240
either 10240*1920
do you know a camera application that delivers panoramic photos without losing quality?
Well, as far as I can say, there are no apps that I know off about taking panorama photos with the actual resolution.
But a nifty thing can be taking all the photos normally like you would, and then making a panorama out of it on Photoshop.
ok thank you
but why there is no app that take a panorama photo with the maximum resolution

As the title suggests, I'm curious as to a way to increase the DPI for the camera app to increase the quality of photos taken (when zooming in on a crop of a photo). I remember from my Note 3 that there used to be a way to change the quality of the photo (best, better, etc.) which was a way of changing the DPI for the photo taken.
Even if there's a way to do it with root (say by modifying the build.prop file), any advice would be great!
As an alternative, is there a camera app that allows for you to change the DPI and fully utlize the camera hardware? I used to use Camera Zoom FX (Premium) but it didn't play nicely with some of the phones (namely Motorola) that I have used that app on.
Thanks for the tips, help, guideance, etc.!
Not sure what you mean, you can set up to 20mp in the settings. Thats even more than the rgb sensor is capable of. I guess this upscales the rgb sensors color info to the 20mp picture the monochrome sensor is taking. I cant think of anything that Would utilize the hardware more

highest quality you can do is raw in pro mode. you can later decide in what quality you compress it to jpeg

I saw the 20MP option but that's not what I'm referring to Some camera apps or phone makers allow for you to change the quality of the picture taken in the form of changing the DPI. The higher the number, the higher the quality of the picture when looking at a 100% crop of a photo (but also the file size tends to be larger too). I know it's not common, but it is there for some camera/OEMs.

I dont quite understand what that means though from a technical viewpoint. I am not an expert but i roughly know how cameras work and what parts they are made of (keywords: sensor/pixel size, sensor resolution, bayer matrix, etc.). I never came across something called DPI. I also do not know what should be happening when increasing this DPI.
Maybe you can enlighten me. Although this does not seem to be a feature for the Mate 10 i am very much interested in learning about cameras, especially in mobile devices.

I had to research this a bit myself so that I could properly convey what I was originally asking for
This article from Snap Shop eCommerce helped quite a bit:
A Simple Introduction to DPI
(apparently, it's only useful if I intend on printing any of the photos taken from the camera itself)
I had a note 2 and a note 4 until just recently. I know the setting your talking about. Its got nothing to do with DPI - its more a compression setting/sharpening setting affects how big the filesize is from your camera as it affects how much each photo is compressed (was listed as "quality" modes? from memory)
Yep that's my understanding too - it's basically like 'fine' or 'superfine' settings on point n shoot cameras - dictates how much the JPG file is compressed. FWIW my Note 4 on Marshmallow seems to have dropped the setting, along with most other phones in the last few years. You just get the default compression for photos and bitrate for videos. As @madman_cro noted, you can make sure you're getting 100% of what the sensor is capable of by shooting RAW and doing the JPG processing yourself. Gotta love it when they remove settings so as not to confuse the average user....
I got a note 4 infront of me and went looking for the setting as well and couldnt find it either your right it must of got lost in a update hahahhaha (my boy has my note2 somewhere) but yeah its exactly what your saying with the fine/superfine etc more a compression setting than anything else
iv had lot's of phones(with custom and stock rom) and while I've never seen dpi settings it may have benefit for printing. as from what iv read now that you got me interested 72 is apparently enough for our screens and our phone delivers 92 so we are ok. il try to convert raw to higher dpi later and try it in phone while zoomed in but i doubt il see the difference cause its basicly the same image
Usual DPI is 72 at jpg photo at real cameras, if you shot in RAW usual DPI is 300, i think at mirrorless is even less.
better/higher DPI is because of post processing , higher dpi more details. Just simple, if you want better phots shot in RAW .
RAW or not makes no difference - the dpi stays the same,.
The DPI of a printed photo can be affected by the resolution the photo was taken at and the size of the printout (think about it...dots per inch.....or pixels per inch on photos really...DPI is more a printer thing. RAW has nothing to do with the amount of pixels/resolution - and therefore doesnt affect DPI whatsoever as its still exactly the same amount of pixels+ resolution involved whether its in RAW format or not...... All RAW means is that the photo was outputted without any editing by the camera first - its a unmolested original image with no processing which allows for a human to do all the editing later and perhaps a better job of it)
Take a 1 megapixel photo and print that photo on A4 paper, now take a 20megapixel photo and print it on a4 paper. The higher resolution image is going to have a higher DPI on the printout than the lower resolution image does, and would be noticeable as chances are the 1megapixel had such a low dpi at the printout size the image was stretched to fit. Take a 20megapixel RAW image, and a 20megapixel normal image - DPI is exactly with both as it has nothing to do with RAW.
What it all comes down to....Stay on the highest setting you can for resolution, and you have the best chance of getting a good printout later on and being compatible with bigger printouts while still keeping clarity (higher resolution photos can be printed larger without loss of quality)
I wouldnt try and make a poster from a 2 megapixel photo for instance - as it just doesnt have enough resolution to keep a good DPI **when the image is printed** The earlier question by the OP has been answered - it wasnt a DPI setting on her note at all its a compression setting (eg fine/superfine) nothing to do with DPI and has no effect on it either.
Thats kinda it in a nutshell and dumbed down a bit to explain it easier (Im gunna get nit picked to death on technicalities of terms perhaps but im trying to keep it simple)
Hey guys,
I'm using Global Stable 10.3.4 and I can definitely notice stock cam has improved.
However, where it remains the same is on fine details, like bricks, fabrics, etc. where is noticeable that software compresses image and delete all fine details, image becomes blurred.
I've been playing with Gcam port from this forum and it doesn't suffer from this, AS LONG as jpeg quality is set to 100%. When Gcam jpeg quality is set to 85% or lower, I get the same blur and lack of detail.
My suspicion is that MIUI stock cam jpeg quality is not set to 100%. Could it be possible to tweak it a D force it somewhere to make stock cam use 100% quality as in Gcam?
Many thanks in advance
Well you have contrast, saturation and sharpness options in the settings menu of the miui camera app, try playing with that a bit!
Hi,
Can someone with Xperia 1 please:
1. Install "Camera2 API probe" and report if it has a green check for "RAW capture".
2. If RAW is indeed supported, please install "Open Camera" (or another third party app supporting RAW output), take some pictures in DNG format and provide the original DNG files.
3. Also take the same photos with the stock Sony cam and provide the original JPG files for comparison with the DNG.
I think this may help quite a few people since we have yet to see any evidence of RAW support and samples from Xperia 1.
Thank you in advance.
Here you go buddy :

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Of course if you have a chance to post some unprocessed DNG's vs stock cam that would be great.
I'd like to test if we can extract better quality than stock from the RAW in post processing.
Raw Capture App : Camera FV-5
Hi there, I too realized that the stock camera under not so ideal conditions does not really produce the best image. Hope sony does fix it with an update, they have after years made a good phone to compete with other really hope they don't screw it up.
Coming back to topic :
I am currently using Camera FV-5 paid application and the RAW image is amazing in terms of getting a good base to play around on lightroom. I am even getting extremely impressive images by editing it on phone with Lightroom (paid full) android app.
I will try and post a google drive link in sometime, but for a quick feedback the RAW capture on Xperia 1 is good. I am sure even other 3rd party RAW apps should work well., given it has full Camera 2 API support. (Note it does not support level 3 API though)
Thank you cletusindia for your valuable info,
Can you tell me if the RAW support also applies to the telephoto and ultrawide lenses ?
Also can you access these lenses with FV-5 ? (I have FV-5 but only 1 lens on the XZ2 so I dont' know how it deals with multi-lens.)

No, just the main camera. I also use Open Camera, even this app only uses main lens with digital zoom.
Also from camera2 probe (APP) i noticed the Wide angle lens does not support RAW. its only the main and telephoto lens.

raw image samples
can you please share raw image samples from the xperia 1?
taken with lightroom cc. f/1.6. auto wb. excuse the banding as they were taken under fluorescent lighting. it's not bad imo. iso3200 is useable.

Isn't it possible to switch to the wide angle and telephoto on 3rd party apps like open camera?
It doesn't make sense sony locking it even if the JPEG are great.
LG phones have RAW on all lenses for years altought JPEG processing in the later models is not very good.
