Hi Guys,
Just got an Xperia S. I have an issue with the camera. The video is very choppy when taking a picture. Its like I'm shooting the picture in night mode(And I'm not). All settings are default.
Now when i record video its perfect.
Its kind of hard to explain so I've made a video of it which is attached.
Just like to mention that in the camera settings my "Focus mode" setting is greyed out when in the photo mode.(Don't know if this is significant.
My exposure is set to 0. If i bring it all the way down to -2 image isn't choppy anymore but it becomes way too dark.
Anyone else having this issue? Any idea if this is an issue or is the camera like this?
Would it be possible to delete the camera app and reinstall it?
Thanks in advance

Yeah tried that still same issue.
Update: When I'm in sunlight its fine. Its only when I'm indoors/low light that this happens even though the setting is set to manual and not automatic.
Can you post some pictures taken with the phone showing your problem?
Edit: nvm, I thought he meant photo quality since the thread title implies this, but he means video.
mines the same :S also when i press down the camera button during standby it'll take a pic, but when i do it with the home screen on, it doesnt take one...anyone got the same problem?

Are you using a transparent casing? I have a transparent casing on mine and the flash reflects off it into the lens. Just remove the casing and it will be ok, or shoot without flash.

When it is dark, the phone automatically slows shutter speed to increase light to the sensor. This causes the choppiness. This is the disadvantage of a camera phone vs normal camera where you can control the shutter speed.
On the night mode taking shot is always slow. But the pics can be great.
But the above pic shows it may be a problem with the hardware.
I had the same problem but I solved it, by wiping it!! I just had some smoo on the lense is all make sure it's clean

attaches pic shows a carpet. it looks blury and kind of filtered - but i haven't selected one. all settings on "0", highest resolution and so on.
anyone has a hint why?
It seems the HOX+ has strong noise filters... that means if you take a pic in very dim light it will not show much noise but it will look a bit like a painting
both (noise and strong noise filters) is not good for picture quality, so your pic would be nothing in any matter... take a pic in good light, there the quality is very good for a phone... And I don't know how much your sample picture has been magnified....
btw: why did you take a pic of your carpet??
thanks for the answer. i took the pic in dimmed light, max zoom. even faces are pixeled like that - but i don't won't to paste my wife here
how can i disable the noise filter? i like most features of the camera - but good light isn't always possible.

Zoom is just digital zoom, so if you take a picture at widest setting and copy the inner part out of it on your computer does the same... digital zoom is crap, but only way today on smartphones...
you can't do anything about the noise filter. try another photo app, maybe it handles pictures in a different way - didn't test it until today so I don't know where the processing does take it's part...
i had google camera 4.2 on my desire hd - what was a very fine app. but my hox+ isn't rooted yet (2 days old) and i like the fast picture option.
thanks for your hints
still not lucky with the advertised "best camera" - qualitiy is so pixelated :/ on my desire hd all was nice and clear.
is this a software or a hardware "bug"?
comparing "normal" with "camera pro" i have 990kb vs. 4.5mb
normal:
pro-camera:
took max. resolution, no filters or other changes.
maybe someone can show a pic from his hox+
it's frustrating.
thanks for your help

Can you send me a link
Is there any kind of on-screen notification to show that it is showing HDR content? I have tried some HDR videos on Youtube (I don't have Netflix) and the videos look the same to me - on my TV the difference is obvious when it is playing HDR stuff.
I have just swapped my LG screen for a BOE screen and the colours look a lot less vibrant in normal use, so wanted to test out some HDR footage to see if it made any difference - otherwise I'll be sending it back in the hope of getting an LG screen without issues!

When playing an HDR video from YouTube your screen should go to full brightness, that's normally an indication it has switched to HDR mode.

I get the HDR logo on content even from the official app, but I don't think it plays in HDR mode.
Mine doesn't go to full brightness. Just tried streaming Black Panther in 4k HDR and it looks awful - very dark and colours are not popping out half as much as they did on my previous HTC U11 which didn't have an OLED screen. Think I'll be returning this one next week in the hope of getting a (fixed) LG screen!
It definetely changes the screen settings while playing HDR content. The red of the netflix search bar etc. changes noticably but I can not really see any difference in the content.
But I heard opinions, that HDR on a Smartphone is not really noticeable and made little sence.
Out of interest, is yours a BOE or LG screen?
I also noticed the reds go very garish on the menu of my streaming software, but the actual film stayed normal colour.
just check.... our mates have widevine lv1 so it should be playing 4k and hdr.... maybe huawei somehow just disabled to show hdr content?!

Seeing if you are playing a video in HDR is quite easy actually. Just press a volume button and you should notice the blue tones are... well... more blue. Another thing to do is trying to adjust the brightness of your screen.
Oh and when playing a HDR video on youtube, switch between landscape mode (fullscreen) and vertical mode (the mode where the video is only on the top of the screen).
-edit- The underlined part is for the Mate 20 Pro. Maybe the bar is also affected on LG? Anyway, there are two more (general) tips so you should be able to find out.
Another thing is that I noticed Netflix is now offering HDR on the Mate 20 Pro, but it doesn't look HDR to me. It is definitely going to HDR-mode as I can clearly see (as what I described above) the difference in color blue of the volume bar. But hey, does an already bright and saturated OLED display need HDR? Except for the wider color gamut of-course, which is really lovely on the video's with HDR on YouTube. Sometimes, with some scenes and probably specific colors, I find the display kind of 3D-isch. Which is very nice

Does the volume and brightness thing still hold true. I just got a replacement and the volume bar colour doesn't change anymore and It doesn't go to fully bright automatically like it did before. Content also looks same as my other none hdr phone.
Loving Huawei atm. On my 6th phone...
HDR for this phone is coming by Emiu related. I'm on. 153 version on later version there is support for HDR Netflix, is not related to the Netflix app, no its based on version of EMIU LATER THEN 153

I just checked it for you and come to find that it's different now.
TL;DR:
The answer is no, the brightness can now be changed and will not be set to max while in HDR mode and the blue of volume bar is hardly noticeable now (it's a lighter shade of blue now while in HDR mode).
This is on my YouTube app:
- Brightness can be adjusted now (before it was maxed out)
- The saturation of the blue in the volume bar is another hue, much less noticeable. Before it would to change to a darker tone (yet brighter, thanks to the HDR) of blue. Now it's a lighter tone of blue. Much less noticeable in my opinion.
You can check if a video on YouTube is playing in HDR by checking the quality it's playing in. It should say HDR after the resolution. If you question if the video is actually playing in HDR (despite it saying it's hdr), I recommend (I'm can't post links yet): paste this after youtube.com "/watch?v=tO01J-M3g0U&t=21s" . The image of the cheetah shouldn't have blown out white on it's belly, the details should remain visible in it's fur. To really check if the richer colors of HDR are being applied, I suggest comparing some hdr content with a monitor (not a TV as they use image enhancers).
As for Netflix:
- I didn't notice any difference, except for the volume bar having this brighter blue now. But that's because the volume bar isn't controlled by an app but by the system itself. So that's as expected.
- Not noticing a difference on Netflix isn't necessarily a bad thing. A movie might not have/want those popping colors of HDR (I'm comparing to the flashy HDR samples on YouTube for this, like the one I gave earlier). Also having an OLED screen is already what you might call "HDR" (having dark blacks and bright whites, while being able to see all the details in between the dark and light), it's only a matter of a wider color gamut to produce more popping colors, which again, might be different in the movie industry compared to the samples of HDR on YouTube. To truly test this, one should test it with an LCD screen.
Hi there,
I wanted to start a discussion about stuff that we like/dislike about this phone, but not the obvious stuff - rather things that are not much talked about. When I read about this phone, most popular topics are about fingerprint sensor, screen resolution, 50x zoom, night mode...
So first, things I don't like:
1. Aspect ratio issues:
- No 16:9 photos aspect ratio.
- Screen 19.5:9 aspect ratio can cause issues in games/applications that only support 16:9 aspect ratio. It's not a huge issue, because most apps support wide screen. It's also the same for other wide screen phones.
- Screen mirroring to TV - because of 19.5:9 aspect ratio, there are black bars on top and bottom, so when you are viewing 4:3 photos on 16:9 TV, the photo is very small and shown only in the center of TV with black bars around it. I don't know how other wide screen phones work, but I guess the same way.
2. Camera:
- There is no way to force the camera app to use the optical 5x zoom in photo mode/videos when the light is low. For me it was a huge issue when I was recording a concert and the camera was jumping constantly between 5x optical and digital zooms. Digital had more view on scene where the light was good, so it jumped to optical lens, optical view is out of sync so bigger part of view was on the dark crowd and it jumped back to optical again. There was no way to record it with zoom.
- How different lenses view is synced - widescreen and normal 1x are in sync when changing between them, you get basically the picture in the same position, but 5x optical and normal are just so much out of sync, that it is very very visible how it switches when you go from 4.9x to 5x. Not a huge issue, but it could be better.
- There is no level indicator in other modes than pro.
3. Speaker:
- The quality is OK at most, when compared to Samsung for example (Samsung S10 has amazing speakers), but it's a phone after all, so I don't expect much anyway.
Now things I like:
1. Huawei Share. My god, this thing is amazing. You can just connect your PC to your phone with WiFi and browse files normally as if it was connected with a usb cable! That is truly amazing. I didn't have it in Xiaomi, newest Samsung phones also don't have it. Why nobody talks about this amazing feature?
2. Camera app:
- Amazing zoom possibilities, 5x zoom which I'm using constantly during my trips and I don't know how people can say they don't use it much. There is something called perspective and this photo shows what I'm talking about. You can get especially amazing pictures when you have mountains in the background. So much discussed 50x zoom is not really usable, but 20x still has amazing quality.
- All different modes, especially the light painting/silky water is nice. Also the pro mode with so many different settings and 30 seconds shutter time. There are much more modes and possibilities than most youtube reviewers show us. They usually just show night mode, 5x zoom, 50x zoom and that's it. Like that's just 10% of options in that app! When you really start knowing the app, it is just much better than Samsung or Xiaomi camera apps. You can shoot much better pictures when you know what you are doing.
3. EMUI:
- I really like this system, the icons, design, features, it's really nice. I don't know how anyone can 'hate' this system? I came to EMUI from Xiaomi and Samsung phones and for me it's just better.
Huawei P30 Pro is my first Huawei phone and I must say I'm really impressed by the price/quality ratio. What are your thoughts?
Point 2: tray to rec videos with opencam or edgecam. You can choose 1x camera and zoom in or you can choose 5x camera. No changes between they.
"2. Camera:
- There is no way to force the camera app to use the optical 5x zoom in photo mode/videos when the light is low. For me it was a huge issue when I was recording a concert and the camera was jumping constantly between 5x optical and digital zooms. Digital had more view on scene where the light was good, so it jumped to optical lens, optical view is out of sync so bigger part of view was on the dark crowd and it jumped back to optical again. There was no way to record it with zoom."
this to me is a huge issue...as i was trying to photo one of our dogs in evening time and it would only zoom via digital.....every now and then it would flicker to ultra clear optical but not for long enough to get a shot.
no workaround at all for it ?...i see no mention of it in google searches.
i can imagine being in the same situation as you recording a gig and that would be troublesome.

Open Camera allows you to cycle through the lenses.
ID 0 is normal mode with multi-lenses
ID 1 is front camera
ID 2 is main lens
ID 3 is wide angle lens
ID 4 is zoom

Yes, for photo it works, but then you get no AI... Also normal photo AI handles the 5x zoom when light is low better than pro, I guess it takes digital zoom which is bright and merges it with optical which is dark
As for the video, I tried the open camera, but from what I can see, it only allows to switch between normal 1x and 5x zoom, but when you zoom to 5x it works the same as huawei built in cam app... So it switches to digital and back to optical all the time.
Edgecam also allows you to use all the lenses
---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
With edgecam or opencam you can choose the lense.
If you choose 1x lense an make zoom is only digital zoom.
For 5x optical zoom you must change to 5x lense.

Mine stays on optical all the time in video.
Yes pictures are generally better with AI but OC enables you to stay with optical even when light is low.
Issue :ghost notifications.
By ghost notifications i mean there is a sound and vibration but nothing else. Now I am pretty used to them, but from day one and after a couple of updates, they are still present. I have disable notifications from almost all apps except messaging ones, but ghost notifications keep going! Even during night with flight mode on. ?

Hello all,
This has been an issue since I got the pixel 6 at launch. When playing videos, the shadows appear washed out. It appears to be some sort of gamma shift or HDR tone mapping issue. This happens when in google photos, chrome browser, imgur, even other apps. (youtube is fine).
I've confirmed in person this happens to other pixels one of which was pixel 6 pro.
The issue is recorded here:
I tried changing the color setup under display options in system settings, turning off H265 in camera settings, booting into safe mode, forcing 60hz refresh rate, but it still washes out the videos.
This does not happen with videos shot by other phones, for example my wife's iPhone shot video then sent it over to me and the gamma shift does not happen...
Strange thing is, in Chrome while playing the video, as soon as I swipe up from the bottom to open the recent apps, the video jumps back to normal as seen here:
https://imgur.com/a/Va3l5fQ
I reported this to google, and their chat support to me to fully nuke my phone to factory....
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and could other Pixel 6 users verify it's happening on their devices as well ?
Thank you

I seldom shoot video with phones and usually don't like to reference reviews. But from what you described Dxomark's summary about video performance is looking to be spot-on.
Google Pixel 6 Camera review: An outstanding performer in its segment - DXOMARK
The Google Pixel 6 camera displayed an outstanding performanc and is currently the best option for photographers who prefer smaller devices.
www.dxomark.com
My experience with dark objects in still photos has been somewhat similar. Recently I couldn't get enough detail photographing black camera bodies I'm selling online. Even with direct light from a daylight LED lamp I ended up using night mode. Every speck of dust showed up which wasn't ideal either.
Over all, though, I like the Pixel 6 camera.
