I think that the GT-i9300 is a very capable camera, but it does some heavy post-processing that ends up ruining the pictures.
In particular, it seems to be applying some form of artificial sharpening. I can't stand that effect, and it's the first thing I disable in any camera I take pictures with. However, I can't find an option to stop the stock camera app from doing this. Is there a mod, camera firmware, anything to fix this?
Here's an example of what I mean: look how there are while halos around the cables. There is also a really heavy and muddy noise reduction in low light scenes.

Are you sure you don't have any effects, sceneries or quality reduction activated?
Absolutely. I even cleared the Camera app's data to be sure.
Does it not happen in your device? Test against something with sharp edges, like hair, cables and furniture against a clear background.

When you take photos with your S2. Do you share them online without any editing?
Personally I've found that all my pictures are lacking in contrast and are gamma saturated. They look too washed out and can be vastly improved with a few quick photoshop filters:
scripts->image processor->run action (recorded an earlier action of auto leveling the image (CTRL + L, auto level, save, close)).
I wish they could look this good on the first take, reckon there's any tweaks that could be made to the camera firmware without slowing it down drastically? perhaps even a separate shooting mode.. I guess that would mean a 3rd party app..

wow thats a big difference!
Ima try this aswell thanks
Lets hope cm9 improves camera
When loading the camera app, the preview for the rear camera is very noisy/grainy/staticy. The front camera is fine, and when you actually take pictures and videos with the rear camera they look fine, it's only the preview that looks funny. Is it like this for everyone or is something up with my phone?
Does this answer your question?

Haha, I guess it does. It's still really strange though, isn't it? Every other phone I've used is much more "what you see is what you get", the actual shots on my S6 look radically different than the preview. I guess it makes sense, especially in low light since the live preview probably has a much quicker exposure time than the actual picture.
Just look at it this way...
If you line up what looks like a good shot on the screen, you know it's going to be even more fantastic when you actually look at it lol.
Since this is basically a question this has been moved to the proper forum.
I am enjoying this camera, even though I don't really now how to harness the power of it's camera..
I work in security and take pictures of license plates in a large parking lot, and experimenting with my new LG V30, I took a simple picture while driving, and could barely read any plates in the picture, even though the lighting was decent.
I am not so worried about perfect color or anything cinematic. I just need to make the camera default the the most crisp and defined setting it can handle.I am in Manual mode, but a little unsur how to proceed. Any advice? Also can I make the camera default to manual mode when opened?
Thanks!

It looks like your focus may be off. May I ask why you prefer manual mode over auto? Here's one I took in auto mode.

I know the title sounds a bit catchy but... The second lens of the Poco F1 is supposely for depth information.
We know that same result is achieved via software on the front lens.
On top of that, when I try to shoot in portrait mode with and without hiding the lens, I don't see any difference in the bokeh effect, or in the whole picture at all.
So my following question: is the second lens actually used or is the bokeh effect achieved via software?
Some "proofs" would be greatly appreciated!
it's a working camera but i dont know about how effective it is. you can try it out in the device maintenance page or by downloading Activity Launcher from playstore>All activities>CIT>second camera test. you can also check the ir camera there
Thanks to @nagoo1 I was able to test it with Activity Launcher. Attached samples from the same angle of view from the main and the second lens.

Hi,
I have a problem with third-party apps using any "flat" video mode using Camera2-API (e.g. OpenCamera or Cinema 4K): they all produce ugly color banding in the video. An extreme example can be seen below. Did someone find a solution against this? Also it seems that these applications cannot access the image stabilizer.
Sadly, the Google Camera app is unusable for me because it creates over-sharped and over-saturated images and videos. While I can use RAW for images and get decent images, I didn't find any solution against the over-saturated videos - even reducing the saturation afterwards does not make them look natural. At least, the over-sharpening seems to be reduced in 1080p.
All in all, my old Google Pixel 1 did deliver a much better image and 4K video quality which was often hard to distinguish from DSLR images or videos.
