Hi, does anybody know a link to a guide in the different camera modes for xperia s? Like what does portrait, landscape, night portrait, etc does. I want to understand how each mode works cause the camera aint that good especially under low light. Most of the time its blurry.. But under good lighting conditions, the picture i get is just mind blowing. So i want to know the right modes for any scenario to get the most out of the camera. Thanks.

Hi there. Well first of all, I dont know about any guide about making photos on XS. And what you are talking about are scenery modes. Those are made exactly to help the final look of the photo by adding contrast or light to the photo. So if you are taking a photo at night, select the night mode and the photo will be less dark and be better looking. I know that it wont look like those good light photos you can take by the beach cause phone cameras are just made that way...
Oh yeah and also that sport mode is wery usefull! It takes the photo very fast so there will be no blurred objects like a person who is jumping into a pool. Looks good and you can really capture the moment with that mode So, to wrap it up, when you are taking a photo in good light I use the normal mode with multiple objects focus. In low light conditions I use the Scene modes. Hope this helped

I am a photographer and I can give him photography lessons

Thanks for the help there but i dont get the sport mode. Does it decrease picture quality? Same with landscape. Because why would i set to normal mode when you can have sport mode which as described, reduces blurr.. The main prob on the xs camera. So is it practical to set the default to sport mode instead? Sorry i aint no pro like you..

To capture fast object, you need fast shutter speed. The thing is when shutter speed is high, less light got into sensor, in a result of darker image. So the camera tend to push the iso level higher which create more noise.

the camera is supposed to be great?

Does this mean that the Xperia has a variable shutter speed? if so are there any apps that can adjust the shutter speed?

Hello guys.
I'm thinking about this phone.
Everything is excellent, but still im concerned about camera(front facing/selfie)
So, would anybody share his/her selfie with me?
And... what phone wins: Zenfone 2 or OnePlus X in matter of selfie?
here a selfie on a movie set. it was quite dark in the room. no daylight and some smoke maybe.

the built-in camero of OOS. For me it's good enough.
Acc to me front camera is betrer than most of the phones
I believe ,my friends, and all who have seen my phone,
Says tht its front camera is second to none.
To be honest i feel the front cameea to be the best of all the phones i have seen.
Oos camera is pretty good with face beauty and it works perfectly.
Normal images are clear to .
And if u want to buy this phone becoz of the camera ,then i shall remind u . it give perfect shot for selfies!! ??
I've seen people complaining that this front camera gave too much distortion comparing to other device. Honesty, I don't have comparison point and I don't use it....
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Essential Phone come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I put together a couple low light camera comparisons. The only editing done to the original photos was cropping to get things to line up as well as I could.
First, Essential stock camera app (NMI81C) vs Essential with Google Camera port: here
Second, Essential with Google Camera port vs Nexus 6 with Stock Google Camera: here

Should be fixed now. Moved the images to imgur because Google Photos is dumb (for sharing individual images).

Thx... Looks great.
Seems like the Nexus port is the best solution
really like the slider in the sample pictures! great idea. so google camera port is the way to go.
Question: Can you also take shot in 16:9 instead of 4:3
All current media viewers like any phone or TV set is 16:9 so i prefer to shoot in that screen dimension
Essential Phone camera experience is still a mixed bag. Regular pics using stock Essential app range from very good to poor depending on lighting. Much better with Google cam port but still not as good as most current flagships or even some older phones like Nexus 6P/ 5x, original Pixel or OnePlus 3T. Using the monochrome camera on this phone is a completely different story. Black and White pics look outstanding with great detail.
Trying out portrait mode for the first time today. Not too bad, I think.

That's a really good picture I think. I only have issues in low light.
Here is one of mine. Harsh mid day light as well.
Here are some photos taken with the Google Camera Mod:

Photo Taken Today with my Essential Phone, I really can't see what people are complaining about regarding the camera ? it's great. For the price the phone is selling for the Essential Phone is a complete and perfect package.

that is because you didn't make a real low light photo without flash! the Google cam mod is a must! way better algorithms to fix the pixelation in low light photos!

For a real low light photo I'd be using a proper camera and not rely on a phone to take the photo. I have the Mate 10 and even that with its brilliant camera I don't use in real low light conditions so either way I took this photo in a pitch black room with the Essential Phone using its camera and I can't see any pixellation anywhere

If you don't understand why don't you go back to the first page and look at the link with the direct comparison of the exact same shot essential camera vs gcamera. It shows the very clear reason why it's worth while.

I actually find that the stock app normally performs much better than GCam in mid-low light. I use GCam only in the sun.
GCam tends to try to bring out way too much detail in the image, resulting in a picture that just looks like a grainy mess.

Agreed, I find the stock camera is taking better shots than any of the Google camera apk's I've tried. Granted, most of my testing has been indoors.
How does the camera quality on snapchat look?
Hi,
So I have my new mate 20 pro but I noticed that selfie pics are a little over processed there were some people who had a solution for that if I remember correctly, could someone help me with it
No one?

I think aperature mode reduces some of the over face softening and blemish removal. But it's still not as sharp as some phones like the Pixel. I think some places in the world prefer softer and lighter faces, so it's incorporated into the camera software. I'm awaiting replacement right now, so I can't check to see if its available under the front camera. It helped with the back camera for me.
Just looked, sadly there is no aperture under front camera. Is there any other way to reduce it? It is a software thing right?
And I tried to use portrait mode with selfie cam but there is no bokeh effect do I have to do something else?
Reduce beauty effect to zero
I did does not help sadly

In the camera app.. There are 3 options to get what you wanted. Test them all. I find the selfie cam close to pixel phone as well
I will try thanks. But what about the bokeh effect? It does not apply to it when I shoot a picture in the portrait mode

I got this answer from other forum.
I am not sure you are talking about the fron or rear camera so i just assume you meant the fron one.
Go to portrait mode, there will be 3 buttons below, press the one on the bottom left and select the one after "None"; the round one.
Try taking photos after you adjust the settings above.

Hi! In view finder there is a option(looks like a box), you should enable it for bokeh mode.
If you use portrait mode, and really need the bokeh (which is far from perfect even on Pixel 3), then use Portrait mode, and just hold still when you take the shot. The phone will sharpen the photo if you hold the phone steady.
My selfies are sharper on the Mate 20 Pro than my Pixel 3 (Which I am going to sell as it's rubbish)
Also, remember the smart HDR can make the photo look overprocessed.
CHinese version is updated to 166 and reportedly to improve selfie. I'll wait if not I will sell it.

Where do you mean it I didn't find it?
So im a bit confused. Maybe its just happening to my phone but i highly doubt it. So i open the selfie camera and i align up for a shot. Everything looks crisp and clear while alingning the photo. Once I take the photo and go to the gallery to view it. Oh my god it is really bad, like it was taken with a phone from 10 years ago. No dinamic range, no clarity, details lost, flatten everything. I have a beard, before actually pressing the camera button you can see every hair and everything looks good. After i press the button and take the picture it is all gone. Now before you say it, i have everything turned down (beauty mode, hdr, and any sort of filters) and i tried with them on as well. The camere is set on the 24mp setting and on photo mode not portrait. Please help, im going mad about this as i see the potential of a good photo with extremely bad result. Thanks
Same here same issue after update to 10 anyone can help or assist with a fix

For me at least it was like this since forever. The image processing is terrible even tho the cameras are really potent
i don't have this problem but the selfie are really horrible! my old Oneplus 3 with gcam really do a way better job
(also pic in low light are horrible....)
Same problem. I saw that Huawei phones even if you disable all the features they try to push it back on. Like
The camera settings even if you turn the beauty off it will do a some kind of beauty auto
The sound you can't turn the dolby off is always on
The brightness if you untick auto if you restart auto is coming back
