Hi to all,
I would like to know if there are same way to improve camera quality. I can see my photos often are blurry.. a little bit...Although I use the focus with the touch.
Is there any setting, or build.prop modding to improve? Or any other apps...
Thanks a lot
Post a photo for us to see? Try Vignette app on a still subject then post here.

Et voilà... This picture is shoot now.
With my previous HTC desire HD pictures quality was very very better than this...
I don't see anything wrong with this picture.
What you can do is try a modded camera.apk that has 100 compression on JPGs instead of 95, or just use a thirdparty app like Procapture.

Many many tanks
I'm pretty sure it's not the right place for this thread...
anyways... the camera of i9100 likes good light conditions. a lot. The more light, the better photos.
what kind of focus setting have you used for this picture ? , its recommended to use macro for detailed shots

I can't see any macro settings... But low quality is for jpg compression... I like to have 100%...
There is a crop (100% zoom... 30cm away from phone). Poor jpg quality!!!

Macro focus is for closeup shots. Given how far the bottle is away from the phone, it wouldn't be suitable for that particular photo.
Woohoo buddy!!!
U talking wrong..
This phone has amazing camera..
This is a pic I took with my sgs2..

Your photo is good... but if you see my crop, is very very poor! I can see too much jpg artifacts
1st. Find out if its Macro or Not. Try Autofocus if its not on.
2nd. Did you buy it as a new phone, or is it 2nd hand? In 2nd hand case it could be that the phone was opened previously for a repair or something, and the lens or the lens cover got dirty.
can someone extract your own camera.apk and share with me? could be my app corrupt...
I've ICS stock LP7
Picture Quality!!

IMHO the picture quality is very good in this phone its a matter of how well you can play with your settings in there! One suggestion would be that don't take the pictures with auto flash! but if you still looking for other options then I think you should look to the third party app like "Camera Zoom FX" and its on sale at the moment as well!
here is the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom&hl=en
It has more options plus excellent other settings and added frames etc as well, which you may find useful if you're a picture enthusiastic!

No offence, but why are you moaning about sgs2 camera? Has good camera. If you want better picture get a Sony or Canon professional.

I'm a professional Photographer friend... but I would like to have maximum quality also on my sgs2... ask I too much? I think no....
Camera fx is better app that I found... much better than stock camera.
Then compare yourself my crop ... the first with stock camera, the second with camera fx app. There is just no comparison!
Thanks a lot friends
LOL wrong section!! wy u cant post in right section?? BTW ur camera might hav microscopic dust or scartches... The SGS2 camera s really superb... Takes breathe taking pics if u knw how to take one..

Hello dear XDA members.
I find the camera on the Xperia not as good as other phones, such as the Iphone. I mean when I bought the phone it was the HD version, did they mean that it is able to watch movies with HD quality or does it take pictures and videos in HD?
The camera has an 8.1mp, and it aint that good as I thought it would be, I mean the photos should be really smooth and good.
Am I the only one that has these kind of thoughts?
Yours
the camera on this phone is better than the iphone. Mp arent whats important when its comes to quality. The problem with the stock se camera is to much compression/noise reduction. This causes a blurry picture....or at least not as clear. Also, make sure you turn off image stabilzation if you have it on...this ruins quality even further.
Try downloading alt camera apps from the market....vignette is one of if not the best to download from the market. This app allows you to set your own compression settings.
Also, alot of people like camera 360 ultimate....try them all and find which you like best.

Yea I find the blurry very annoying cause the smallest move I make the picture also get blurry. I compared the camera with a friend of mine that has an Iphone and It looked like the picture was better on his phone.
However, I will take your advice and download new camera apps. Thank you =)

Hi ,.
is there any MOD or hack for SGS II camera , enables us to shoot uncompressed pictures , (for better quality),.
THX
use any custom camera app like camera360 and set the quality level to 100%, stock camera app does compress the image @ 90%

I saw a post on here (CM9 discussion thread maybe ? Not 100% certain) bout 3-4 months ago saying someone was working on giving the SGS2 the ability to shoot pictures in RAW. Haven't seen anything further since, and I'm not sure it was in that CM9 thread.

That would be amazing. I was wondering if it was possible to get RAW images from the SGS2 camera. Can't afford a DSLR
That's the thing tho, is it even possible ? Yeah, it would be pretty good. Wonder if that would iron out the various 'artifacts' you sometimes see in images taken with the SGS2 ? (like the red/pink blotch, poor quality in low light, etc, etc). May not even be possible with the hardware no matter what's done with the firmware.

i have the settings for the camera on the highest res and auto focus, yet i still get sub-par pictures. we took my Note on vaca to the beach in the Mayan Riviera in April, and the pictures were lousy quality. my old iP 3GS took better pix that appeared of a higher resolution.
am i missing something?
i just turned on the anti-shake setting. could that have been the culprit? or is there some camera app that will "fix" my camera and make it seem like the 8 MP beast i thought it would be.
(BTW, my wife brought her 8MP Galaxy S and her pix came out way better from our mexican vaca...)

Never had any problems. In fact my notes camera quality draws compliments.

I too have noticed a lack of sharpness in the stock cam. I just dnldd the other and didn't see much difference if I compared the two test pics side by side but since I am in a dark room...I then changed settins on both to night and then took one each and the Camera ICS shot was MUCH sharper and had a much better white balance. I'll try some out in the sun today and report back
great, tx red :good:
Have any of you tried CameraMX(not Camera FX) ? It takes some good quality pics, i find it much better than the stock camera which i find horrible.

Yes, it is a lot less grainy.. You will see a big difference. Its a free app, try it, ur not gonna loose anything:laugh:
doesn't seem like you can zoom while recording a video something the Samsung camera does, and the Samsung camera does slow motion videos also.
No touch focus actually autofocus is kibda choppy....
Its mainly another real time photo app...

Oh god the camera is bad, all I ask for is a decent camera that can snap pictures of words on maybe a whiteboard from a distance when I'm in a meeting and god does the image look horrible when I zoom is, there is no detail at all sort of like an over sharpening of a blur image. God even the nexus 4 has a much clearer image than this although that's plagued by its far I share of focusing bugs

Hey mate. Don't despair. Just load a 3rd party camera app. I'm going between Camera Zoom FX and Camera FV-5 at the moment. I think FV-5 is going to be my choice.
There's not much wrong with the optics on the Ultra just too much native compression from Sony's own app.
So with a better app I'm seeing much better results.

Trust me, ive tried. They look more or less the same, ive tried it all. The paid verions for fx, fv5, focal, motox camera, ics camera+ and hdr camera. They all look more or less the same, the details seems to be like a chalk painting when zoomed in. Even in the thread, the leaves edges seems to be like chalk smudge, i just need a fix that will let me take a goddamn picture of my office notes on a projected screen ahh
after root i threw in the gallery app from aosp and it included the camera app too. works fine. lets me to those photospheres too

Hi Beerope.
I'm with you on this.
I get the feeling that camera apps on google market still use the same sony provided codecs for compression when using a stock rom.
Sony ZU codecs and camera force a file size of under 2mb which is why the definition when zoomed in is so crap...
I have a theory that if you use a rom like CM10.x or AOSP that the picture quality will be greatly improved when using third party camera apps or even the native camera apps as those roms are using the standard android codecs.
This will also be evident in the file sizes generated by those camera apps.
Unfortunately I cant test as I need my phone for work purposes (so it remains on stock) at the moment and haven't got time to experiment with custom roms yet.
I'm currently on 510 and refuse to got to 526 or 532 due to the weird SODs I keep reading about.
My previous ZU had 526 and had so many problems with random screen clicking.
My current ZU is on 510 and I've had no problems at all - rock solid no random clicking but obviously the picture quality from the camera sucks...
---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
Also we may be able to improve the quality by using methods similar to those described in this thread...

Obviously we'd need to identify the relevant files first.

CM10.2 (flavours) are a little better. The file size is an issue as image artifacts are greatly reduced. It is a problem Sony needs to sort out. 3rd part apps can only improve so much. its up to firmware.
