all the time i owned my xperia z2 everything has been perfect except for the front camera, it is so dark and dim, i can't take selfies with it. my friend has a z2 on latest 4.4.4 and his camera is more brighter, i updated to existenz 4.0.0 4.4.4 rom and the camera hasn't improved, is there a hardware problem or is there any way i can fix this?
Repair via sony PC companion
If the problem isnt solved it is a hardware issue and i recomend contacting sony repair centre

well Xperia has software solution for it called steady shot
if shaking hand is matter u should buy a phone with OIS camera (maybe available in next Xperia flagship)
it s hardware solution (optical image stabilization)
OIS is available in Note4, G3, Nexus5

But with shaking hand or ... i get always awesome pictures by Xperia Z2
:good:
Hi Guys,
I am currently on Cm 12.1 and the front camera quality is pathetic. There is hell lot of noise and the end picture looks like a VGA quality.
Anyways to fix it?
its a hardware issue, no not fixable.
Hardware issue? You mean my camera is faulty? Or all sony xpria z2 cameras have the same issue?
z2 camera is just crap
Hi
I have a Z3C, wondering whether to upgrade to the Z5C. Specifically, are the following issues with Z3C camera better/solved:
1) Camera startup time from phone off to photo taken using shutter button to power up device. My Z3C can take 5secs plus
2) Camera crash issues - mainly when device is on stamina mode 'unfortunately the camera has stopped' fixed on Z5C?
3) Seriously noisy images even in good light on superior auto when viewing 100% crop is Z5C any better?
4) Do we still suffer from excessive post-processing of images on Z5C ?
Camera quality issues on Z3C would be my only real reasons for upgrading.

Same here.
Flash a camera mod and ur camera will become much better,
I flashed camera mod v8 on my z1 and my camera is much better than z2, s4, s5
Samsung only better at low light because they have very strong flash
Thats all i have to compare it with, but you can guess, s5 camera is better than z3

No, Samsung better at low light because using F/1.9 instead of 2.0 that sony uses... LOL :good:
Sony have still not learnt.

... A 0.1 aperture difference is marginal.

I disagree.
I hardly use a flash with my S6 and Note 5 and the photos are simply brilliant...
I owned the Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z3C and they always suffered heavy pixilation.
The Z series cams are excellent in daylight though. I am keen to see how much Sony have improved with the Z5 series sensors
Its all the post processing that degrades the photo quality from sony camera phones. Amazes me that the competition often gets better results from the same sony-made sensors!

I bought my M4 Aqua Dual last Tuesday. Everything is fine, except of the front camera...
The front camera is really darker than the main one. I know it's normal (different focal etc..) but it takes pictures too dark to be appreciate, and the video are even worst.
I will attach 3 pics. The first one from the main camera. The other 2 from the front one.
Tell me what you think about that. I purchased my phone from Amazon FR, so they can easily replace that (even though I hope it's a SW problem).
I think its just the camera sensor is bad, mine is dark too.

Mine is dark, too. Looks like a vignette effect applied to everything. I think we can't do anything with it.

Can you compare it with another phone?
because m4 main camera is always brighter than other phones, maybe that why you feel front camera darker
I compared to iPhone 6 (surely not a selfie phone). Sadly, iPhone front camera is MUCH lighter. So sad about that.... I mean, it's too much dark!!!
You can be glad that your camera works, i have bug that camera was not detected after 1 Month of use, i had to get it repaired trhu waranty...
Dark front cam

Okay, guys it goes like that my Z Ultra camera quality was quite poor, so recently I have purchased a Z1 replacement rear camera for my Z ultra, I have fixed the camera Inside phone because the flex cable were all same, but after that my phone is not booting up, it booted at first then restarted then it went off and then didn't start, I replaced back to my old camera again and phone started then, so it seems like my Z Ultra needs the right software for Z1 camera device fixed inside, I don't know in such cases what is required it is driver or camera software and from where to get it, Please if anyone knows how to Install Z1 camera in to Z Ultra just give me suggestions, I want to make this combination work, please tell me how can I install Z1 Camera software in to my Z Ultra. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
really interesting, any dev knows any kernel/mod for this to work??
