Pictures and Videos? - Motorola Photon 4G

Well, I took the last 2 hours to play (not just take) with stock Camera and Video! I found that this is pretty neat if you take time to do more than just hit the shutter? The effects with Negative, Polarize, ect! You can zoom with Volume buttons. Video is pretty cool too.

Blurry camera?

I just got my amaze today. I was expecting a stellar camera experience but instead all my photos come out blurry with the stock camera app.
When I switch to CameraFX from the market it takes much better pictures however.
Any way to fix the stock camera? I assume this is not normal judging from the reviews I have read.

I've NEVER been able to get a pic to look like the elite pics in the pic thread. I just chalked it up as "operator dysfunction."
Maybe I will try a different camera app.

blurry camera
yea i also experience same.all my photos come out blurry with the stock camera app.
Just gotta play around with it, those other apps focus were and when you want them to, unlike the stock one. Never hurts to have a second one.

My stock camera is fine. Hit menu and check the resolution. Mine was set at low resolution by default. That and the other options.
It also helps to have a steady hand since it has a quick shutter

That's very true. It's fairly easy to get a bad snapshot if your not used to it.
I have not had a single issue like that. I think the stock camera is sick and I have tested alot if other camera apps.

Hmmm idk I'll keep messing with it. Would a factory reset help?

tweak your brightness to contrast ratio and one key thing is always to get a good steady pic is set your camera in/on time mode (2 seconds is enough to hold it steady..)

EVO camera

My LTE camera does not seem on par with wut videos I have seen. My photos come out ok and video r not all that good, probably a defect? Or is that normal?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
not normal at all, my videos have all came out great so far. just to make sure check that its on highest quality, nothing is smudging the lence, and that you dont have super shaky hands. all settings to default
I have a similar experience. I am considering going into a sprint store to see a side by side comparison. I played with a One X and was very impressed with the camera, mine doesn't seem up to par with the One X.

If they're not this good, I'd take it back

here is a picture i took yesterday. the picture is so clear you can see the water droplets almost perfectly in the air.
Yup did all that and still the same experience. Im gonna take it to best buy and see wut is up.

For the most part they come out jus like that, crystal clear. But the video seems off, while recording video my camera focuses during the video and it messes the video up some wut

My brother has the one x also and I feel the same way

Question about camera?

Yis it that the LTE camera takes perfect pictures and videos outside, but inside the quality is poor. I thought it was jus me but the one x is the same way, outside is good and inside poor. Any suggestions?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Are you using stock settings? If you don't already know, simply adjusting your ISO settings to different light condition makes a huge difference.

Press the A in the corner and change setting from automatic to low light.

Recorded video
Does anyone else have the red blotches where ever there is black or shaded areas of recorded video. I see it in video recorded inside and outside. Pictures look prefect.
Yea I was but I will now play with the settings

its the phone's screen, the colors are very saturated, if you look at the video (or images) on your computer the colors look much more natural.

Every HDR picture I take has ghost type image, like the camera shifted just slightly.

Recording in Slow Motion Looks really bad

I have seen a couple of videos on here where they were recorded in slow motion and those videos looked great, however, I have tried a few times and they always come out looking really bad. (grainy, and blurry). I have tried with all the settings left on auto and also setting things up manually as well (like white balance and ISO).
Is there settings that I am missing to make these videos look as good as they do while recording at normal speed?
Here is the link to the video I shot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjcqQhUIJq0
Also does the camera not record in HD while doing Slow Motion?
I can't help you on making it look better but it doesn't record in HD. The ending resolution ends up being 768 x 432.

Yeah I agree and have the same problem. I have a pitbull and an American bulldog and love recording them playing. Nice dog by the way. The only toys I can buy my boys are Kongs like your dog is playing with, the toy they can't destroy.

Really? Maybe I just expected it to look better, but then I found out that it doesn't record in HD. Here is a link from another user who also shot using the Slow Motion feature his looks way better.

Maybe its just the difference of lighting seeing how I was under my Patio out of the sun.

It's probably the light. I think the only reason it goes to HD on the youtube video is because the beginning part might be in HD. I still see the grainy lines on the youtube video and in the slow motion videos I shoot.

I think it's HD on YouTube because the user had to edit it on the computer. (Add music) so I think he saved it in a way that YouTube thought it was HD.
I've noticed that I have to edit files in order for YouTube to have a HD option even though the phone records in HD and saves it as a .MP4.

Is there a camera setting for this or are you just simply slowing the footage down?

There is a camera setting. If you touch the "A" you will see the option
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Yeah, the camera does not do HD for slow motion, due to the significantly higher data rates the camera must sustain to do slow motion. It's essentially recording at 120fps or so, which is four times the speed it would record at otherwise. To record in HD, it would require four times the bandwidth and processing power that it does at normal speed.
I've had this phone since it came out and never knew it has that setting.
What is "HDR"?

Are you buying the Kong extreme? They are black and they last forever.

I think the slip and slide video was edited on a computer. Unless the EVO LTE can do the stop motion at the beginning of the video as well.
So he may have done the slo mo with a computer too.

There are other phones using android that CAN do slow motion HD recording. I assume that this is a software limitation on HTC's part rather than a hardware limitation as the camera on this phone is quite impressive to say the least. Even with my limited knowledge of the inner workings of the android software I would venture to guess that this can at least be brought to 720p slow motion recording. However a speedier SD card may be needed. Man I wish I knew how to dig into Android, I want this camera to be BEAST!
