Question about camera? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

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?

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.
Then take a picture

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.

Very different picture results, same lighting/settings in camera

Hello People,
So I just took a picture of the room I'm in and in the first shot I got this.
Came out nice right? I decided the picture was a little tilet so I took another shot, without changing a single setting and got this:
Why is the first one so nice and rich but the second one is all washed out?? I can't for the life of me get the camera to take another picture that looks like the first one. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here and how I can replicate the initial results?
That's the white balance setting kicking in. The first time it thought you were outside so it changed the white balance for daylight. The second time it realized you were inside so it adjusted it for incandescent lighting. I've only noticed it switch between those two, so if you want a better picture select it yourself.
Go to menu>white balance>and change 'auto' to the best setting for whatever room you are in.
Ha thanks! THat was it! Although, leaving it on auto gives the washed out picture. Changing it to "daylight" while inside gives the nice deep color
That "rich" color you are referring to is totally off and looks horrible! The second one is correct, notice that the whites are actually white??? The Daylight setting is overcompensating a yellow filter to correct the blue cast that would be there if you were outside in the sun like the setting indicates...
I have to agree with jsls

+2 The 2nd photo has a more natural balance to it. If your using AWB....dont. Auto anything never gives consistent results.

To get the results it seems that you want just use a sepia filter and it will give it that warm look. If you want a "correct" picture the second one is the way to go however. If you like the look then go with it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah I think you might be a little color blind, because the second pic looks so much better. The color actually stand out. The whites are white not yellow like the first pic. And look at the computer screen, the colors look good.
I like the first one cause it looks like it was taken back in 1912 and sat on the old print out paper in my grandma's closet till this morning.
Dude really?
Let me clarify if you have a light source in shot the auto adjustment will kick in.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"?

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!

"Super Camera" app for G2

Hi all,
I was pointed to this thread on another forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427019
The intro is in Chinese, but once you scroll through it you get to the English menus and interface.
I downloaded the most recent version (3.5) and installed it on my rooted G2. Boy! What a better app! Seems to have a better AE method and there are a lot of very cool options to toy with while retaining manual control.
I've been using it for an hour now and I really like it.

I noticed that too, but when you actually take the picture it does pre-AF and I've had excellent results. Didn't screw around with manual focus yet.
Loved this app on my HTC one, haven't really played with it on my g2 though

how this compare to the camera fx zoom for 1.99 on the play store?
i don't like camera zoom much..but this is damn good. i love all the settings.
---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------
funny thing i noticed though..in video, mode, it shows a couple stuck white pixels.
they aren't there on the stock camera. i'm wondering if the software is a bit glitchy when it comes to third party video cameras. i noticed this on the GPE camera as well. weird right?
I've been comparing some identical shots between stock camera and super camera, and I'm surprised to see that Super Camera actually looks better. There is more detail and it's a little darker so it doesn't appear washed out. I wouldn't have complained about the stock camera since it's great, but this looks even better.
I haven't tried many lighting conditions, so it might be worse in some cases. I haven't tried video either, but I noticed an option for image stabilization. I think it's software stabilization, but I wonder if it works in conjunction with OIS. Anyone know?

EDIT: I tried a lot more pics, and it turns out that the stock camera is actually more detailed when viewing at 100%. It also is more color accurate. The super camera isn't bad at all though.
This is a great camera app. Thanks for sharing this!
