Post Pictures from your Xperia Play!

Hello Everyone,
I haven't seen anyone start a post for this yet so I thought I would get the ball rolling. The only edits that have been made to these photos is resizing and reorienting. I've also made some comments at the very end.

I know some of the critics knock the XPlay for not having the best camera, but I think hardware-wise it is pretty decent. The problem is the software that it comes with, which is the native android camera app. It kinda sucks!
* No touch to focus
* No metering options (which really blows....highlights and all)
* No focusing square to tell me what it's focusing on (it highlights the whole screen)
Thankfully since it's a software issue hopefully it will be remedied...either by Sony for the hacking community trying to port over the Xperia Arc/Neo Software.
Anyways, please post ur photos if you have a XPlay!

Here are some if mine

My son, Taken in darkness

Pictures of one of the "knights" at Camelot, my dog, and my daughter feeding the goats at Camelot. I'm fairly sure you can work out which is which!
I find the flash tends to wash out the pictures, but I believe this is true of all camera phones with LED flashes.

BLT hehe

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I use the Vignette app rather than the stock camera. Lots if options available there.

Can you adjusting the metering with the vignette app?

Amongst the many other settings, yes.

Was bored waiting for some friends this afternoon, so I played around with tilt shift a little bit.

folks, this has also been answered a few times:
these "lines" are optical interference between the scanning frequency of the CCD and the frequency of some artificial light sources! other cam apps have the ability to enable a suppression for that (according to your grid frequency), the stock cam app of the note however does not have this function (or it has a very poor automatic for that)!
only chance: change the light-source or try to optimize your position!
OR: use a cam app which has a satisfying suppression function!
IF you have that lines also with no artificial light-source and in all cam apps then please take my apologies and replace your device!

Ahh.. I have the same thing on my work.. Guess the fluorescent lamps on the office interfere with my camera or something..
Nothing to worry about..

Camera Scenes Comparison

Hi!
I know that Official KK is gonna be available soon for our phone, so I was thinking about small comparison of all camera modes, before and after KK.
I have latest official available soft(Non Network carrier phone/Spain): 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 no root or any modifications.
Images are taken in full res without stabilization(Normal Mode of course).
Time: 18:00.
Sun is a bit behind left side of building, but still visible in the sky(that had few clouds) so we have nice neutral ambient light.
For now images from 15m distance, I'm gonna upload also images from 2-3m but that later.
I cropped images in place when we can see hard for camera scene full of high contrast black-white(bike) but also red colored trunk of the car, and a bit of green on top(small but still). Bike have loots of details so its easy to compare how every camera mode modify scene.
PS I had Polish language set in my phone so I don't know if English names of each scene modes are good :]
PPS I know that some of you think that its not needed, but looking at this images you can also see how every mode modify image so its good to remember if you looking for quick setting up camera
Because of big file I cant upload it to forum so here is external link to image(if you have problems viewing it click HERE):

In this week I try making this 2-3m images comparison in good lighting so we gonna have all camera modes in most common scenes :]

Hmm not sure if that was a good idea.
You should have done the images now.
To compare it it would need to be on the same day, with the same light with KitKat and Jellybean.
You most likely not gonna have the exact same lightning when KitKat gets officially released
But a nice idea anyways. :good:

Man, you did a really great job. You're my hero

Dont worry about that is almost summer now in Spain. Every day is the same: Hot like hell, sun in the same spot, few clouds in the sky. :]

[Q] N4 rear flash ring?

Hi there!
i recently bought an N4 and i love it but i was wondering why my rear flash is like the way it is (see pictures). I bought it completely new, or supposedly new, on ebay for around $200... i actually couldnt believe the price haha
any comments as to how to replace it? due to the flash lens/ring it allowed dust in the rear camera which is so annoying.
thanks!

I dont know, but my flash looks completely different. You sure that is a nexus 4 and not some fake stuff?

haha yeah it works perfectly fine though
another thing i noticed was this... i dont know if it's normal either
there's vertical lines when the screen is off and noticeable when caught in the light at certain angles........
i'm starting to think this was a broken phone but refurbished after

the rear flash ring is normal but the bars on the screen is a new one, i have never seen that, its usually a clear screen and you can see the dots from the digitizer from different angles.
maybe the screen has been replaced?

Wow, I've never seen such vertical lines on my n4 before. That is really strange, mate.
Although there are horizontal lines/patterns on the screen. They are conduction medium for the touch screen, but no..never seen such vertical ones...

The update did fix my red tint issue and per the below link you must use "adaptive display" setting for it to work. The other settings "Cinema" ect... still seemed red to me. Below link should help:
http://phandroid.com/2017/05/02/t-mobile-galaxy-s8-red-tint-software-update/

The update did fix my problem. After the update I can use the other color settings too. I guess we are all used to seeing greenish white lol

Is it just my s8+, or are others full screen color balance flipped? For me when I move the slider to the right where it says warm, my display actually gets cooler, and moving it to the left where it says cool, my display gets warmer, like it's flipped. Very weird. Any of you experience the same?

The update fixed the slight pinkish tint along the curved edges. Looks just right now.

Seems to have helped mine, which wasn't bad in the first place. Think the internet's made me think it was worse for a while. Lol Better now though, Sammy did good on this one.
