Camera Stabilization

Is there anything I can do to make the camera more stable? cause pictures I took from the HD2 are so shaky, but If I take a picture using my Canon camera, eventhough I shake, the pictures are clear...

and how do you guys clean your camera? I clean with my T-Shirt and I got scratches now... the Camera gets dirty easily..

No you can't. Almost every new Camera has an Image Stabilisator. It's not possible to build something like that into a Mobile Phone. The only thing you can do is increasing the ISO value. The higher the ISO value is the less shaky the pictures will be but they will also be more noisy. And what do you mean with cleaning your camera? If you mean the lens then you should only try to blow the dust away or you will get scratches in it. If you mean the display then there should be no problem using a T-Shirt. I think the camera of the HD2 can also be cleaned with your T-Shirt because there is a pane in front of the lens.

I clean the camera lens with my T-Shirt and now there is tiny scratches, somehow the lens will get fingerprints or some sticking dirt

Yes you can. There are apps for android with basic image stabilazation features. For example camera 360 or snap photo pro ... works nicely

This is not your fault, just because exposure time is long. You should increase your iso value to 800 and/or use flash. You cant stop moving objects
Or you can use the trick for camera button.

if I set ISO to 800 with or without flash in a condition with the above picture, the photos will turn out very grainy

Am I Crazy or Does Auto Mode Process JPGs Differently From Pro Mode?

I'm still deciding whether or not I'm keeping the S7 Edge or going back to my 6s Plus, and the camera is a big factor in that decision.
In doing some testing, I've noticed that Auto mode seems to process JPGs differently than Pro mode. Photos I take in Auto mode look heavily over-processed, with awful noise reduction smoothing artifacts and occasionally even aliasing so bad that it looks like a heavily compressed JPG. Here's an example of the latter effect:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's a screen grab, zoomed in to 1:1, just to highlight the blocky edges around the circle and colour noise in the white of the sign. Both effects are visible even at 100% zoom.
To test this theory, I took a shot in Auto and Pro and compared the two directly. The focus was on the same spot and the shots were taken one after, just switching modes in between. No change in ambient light levels or other shooting conditions. The camera chose a shutter speed of 1/15 at ISO 200 for both shots so the settings didn't vary either.
Nevertheless, here's the result (screenshot from my image comparison software):
Unless I'm nuts, the shot on the left is clearly softer than the one on the right, not because the focus is off but because of the watercolour-style smearing of details.
Obviously the solution is to use Pro mode, but why would the images be processed differently? And if there's a good reason, why can't we choose to use Pro mode by default instead of Auto?

Very interesting! I ONLY ever use pro mode anyways so it would be nice to be able to set it as the default mode.

Xperia Z5 Camera - as Advertise

Hi Z5 Users! Just curious how we can get a good shot with moving objects?.... or anyone can show how to do it in a proper way?.... As I'm wondering how Sony did the following shots in their website? As I myself is always ending up with either focus center and blurry shots outside the focal point of the picture, or mostly with blur edges or noisy pic, do we have to always use a tripod to get a good moving shot? (especially for me with shaky hands lol).

I don't believe they shoot those pics with a phone, didn't believe it as soon as the pics came online.

Use sports mode. In Scenes
Or Manual with low ISO and lowered Exposition im good light.
In a more difficult light with a slightly higher ISO which pushes faster shutter speeds. And lowered Exposition.

So much noise in camera photos.

I just took these shots and they are very noisy. It is like this whenever I take photos. So this a hardware problem or software? Also my software version is 1.03.400.8
You can see the noise in the black trouser and also my leg isn't that clear at all.i didn't get any update yet

NSFW tag?

Yeah my front facing camera is showing noise too

No noise here lol

Exif details? Iso shutter speed etc? Medium to low light will be grainy yes, but it is far far better than aggressive noise reduction resulting in watercolor pics. Fine grains are fine as long it's not blotchy grain

It's in auto mode

Got it. So have any idea what's the problem ? The info is for the picture with the trousers and if you zoom on the trousers you will notice abnormaly high amount of noise.

Save the Night | OPPO Find X5 | OPPO Ambassador

Sharing a few low-light sample shots from the OPPO Find X5!
Quite impressed with the shots from the Primary lens! Captures great shots with plenty of light and very low noise levels. With the inclusion of OIS, the camera can take better low-light shots and less shaky images.
Now the inclusion of OIS also helps a lot while shooting long exposures with Pro Mode. OIS eliminates minor shakes and helps you shoot 1-2 second long exposure images without even needing a tripod.
Here's a picture I shot handheld with Pro mode.

shot handheld on Pro mode with 1 sec shutter speed​
What surprised me the most is the ultrawide angle. The ultrawide angle on the X5 is probably the best one out of all the phones available. The pictures are very bright and detailed. Colours are quite natural and the highlights and shadows are on point.
picture shot with ultrawide angle camera​I also did notice that the low light shots take less time to capture. Generally on other phones you do have to hold still for about 2-3 sec for it to capture.
I'm very impressed with the low-light capabilities of the Find X5. A combination of great lens hardware including the Marisilicon X chip and superior software processing helps the Find X5 shine under low light conditions.
