how to improve camera quality - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
can you please tell me , how to improve camera quality in Nexus 4 please.

Buy a camera.
No really, what do you expect to really "improve"? It's a smartphone camera.
Though had you tried to search you would've noticed a thread that kind of improves the quality slightly (never tested it myself)
But please don't expect to make good pictures, it will remain a smartphone camera
Well ok, might be I'm wrong - can't find a thread for that
But I do recall something that said to improve camera - could've been video capturing though

I like the hdr effect in the stock app have you tried it yet?
There are some good photography apps in the appstore you can try
the truth is the camera hardware is not that great on the nexus 4.
always remember that to take a great photo it doesnt necessarily always need a good camera
A couple of my snaps took on my nexus-

quality is fine. its on your end that you will have to improve photo taking. make sure there is plenty of light for the photo that you want to take, or it will come out blurred. play with the camera settings if need be.

make sure there is plenty of light --- May be this is right !! I am taking pics in normal conditions , I never felt it requires 1000 watts blumb's or more than that any how I got to know that we can take pictures in very sunshine areas :laugh: not in dim lights :angel: that's okay .
the intention about this post was , is there any mod or software which improves the picture quality .If you know any app's please suggest .

I agree my comment was rather not helpful but you have to admit: Nexus 4 camera is known to be mediocre at best. You can make good pictures with plenty of light, especially with HDR - but nevertheless the camera won't make really good pictures. (Way better pictures than Desire HD 8MP camera though but that's not really a surprise)
To try to be helpful: I still recall some thread where someone changed some files to improve quality of photos and or videos. But I can't even find it anymore :silly:
Just to show what I see as a good picture by Nexus 4, here's a picture of two rainbows And a nice picture of the sun.
But as example for a bad picture: the cockpit of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter, which was taken while there was no light and this picture really looks bad

it was videos. and it never actually improved quality(its a dead thread right now).
and no, there isnt a mod to improve photos. learn to make adjustments in the cam settings and your photos will be fine. a good camera app is A Better Camera.

Well, one small suggestion would be that you could mount it on a small tripod or other device that you can carry around. That would help stabilize it, so the photos and videos aren't as shaky.

no their un edited and ill prove it ill upload original picture, i have some of the best camera tweaks made on this forum by my self and most people use them and then don't listen to how to set in camera settings up to get the picture perfect
i have spent hours tweaking the reg files to produce images like these and their included in apps like bsb tweaks and also as cabs here are the original images
http://rapidshare.com/files/408833343/100MEDIA.zip.html
Nice.
Nice pics! tell the steps that you tweaked. Would love to do it on mine.
Also, I trust these pics to be original as I, too, have taken beautiful pics w HD2. Just wondering if the steps I did was the ultimate setup.

ok heres the simplest way to explain it.... install bsbtweaks and turn on my superfine tweak... next set the camera up like this (only for macros not for all images as u need a different setup for other types of images)
WB - "sunny" dependent on ambient light
iso auto - "100iso"
5M resolution
wide-screen OFF
touch focus ON
super fine quality
contrast +4
saturation +3
sharpness +4

well thankyou, please share ur result so others can see and we can all have better quality pictures
ps use the touch focus to set the focus to the object and move the object off center for good DOF
Now wouldn't it be great that these settings were saved in some kind of profile that we can actually choose w/o the need to do it manually. hehe. Anyway, thanks damien.

No prob, will do. Going hiking tomorrow so Ill see what kind of random stuff I can photograph.
THANKS PEOPLE
ill get some more picture also
That's great result considering lens quality of the HD2 and the least distance of focus. I love macro pictures but I usually obtain them with a Nikon and macro objective, so I can think to bring some "shots" even when I've only phone with me
Just got home. Have some new pics to add... Will get them up tomorrow!
Today I've tried, this is one result as from the phone, only resized for posting
some new ones from HD2 camera phone on Friday i should have my 550d so cant wait to get some proper macro shots with the tamron 90mm woho
its gona be weird as with my HD2 i basicly have to get as close as possible to get macro shots and soon i can sit back and shoot from a distance how weird lol
Just Amazing!
I sit a lot in a library and take my camera to take pics of some texts that I need.
Now all I need is my super-great HD2 to take pictures (YEEEY)
Thanks for those tweaks - im mesmerized with the results !!!
Anyone know the camera specs for the HD2? I'm interested in the aperture. I know that the iPhone 4 has a f/2.4 aperture. How does out phone fare?

Then "Wizcode PhotoCopy" should be sumthin for You ! Since I bought it (20 $) I use it almost everyday and it replaced my pen-scanner completely. Converts into PDF automatically and You can combine multiple shots into one PDF.
nice
here is mine. no tweaks.

Ah, so bad! xD
Soooo much noise and artifact in those shots, resolved detail not very good either.
That said, looks like HTCs best camera ever (apart from perhaps the Mozart with its Xenon Flash, but I haven't seen many examples from that handset yet).
I think that mobile phones' cameras are not for the ones who are obsessed with photo quality.
I am sure long years I will prefer to carry a DSLR camera even though I have got a 8 mp camera integrated phone.
i agree buying a phone based on its camera is silly, the only time i have ever used my phone camera was when i got a parking ticket so i took photos of the signage and my car wrote a letter to the council and got off without having to pay
if i know im going to take photos i just take my DSLR

Yes, I agree.
However, what I am finding is the DHD does not leave much EXIF data.
Below is what is missing when shown in PhotoMe which is shown on the SGS:-

More photos..............
Any chance in taking an evening shot (sunset/sunrise) without flash.
Also if possible another two low light shots with and without flash (basically the same shot for comparison on how well the camera handles low lighting with & without a flash).
Cheers.
Ouch those shots are really poor in terms of quality, noise, too strong noisereduction, chromatic abberation and hell everything.
I'm afraid Nokia N8 wins this round.

You don't need to be obsessed with photo quality to demand more from your mobile phone camera than the Desire HD is offering though. For many of us the camera is quite an important consideration because day to day photography with our phones is part of our regular use (most of us don't carry a DSLR all the time, eh?). Its nice to have shots that are 'good enough' for that kind of casual photography, and many other non-HTC phones offer that.
I won't, and haven't ever, based a decision to buy a phone solely on the camera, but certainly its a consideration, more important for some of us than others (but you can't dictate to others how they come to a decision to get a phone or not).

5mp camera taking better pics than s2

Hi
I got my s2 few days back and it's upgraded to 4.0.3.. I'm happy with the performance but very very sad bcz of camera.. My old nexus is taking back better pictures than this s2.. Here are two same pictures taken in same time and same place..

Please suggest me whether it's ICS problem or camera problem? Should I downgrade it to gb or go for camera replacement?
It's Indian version I9100
Thank you
Megapixels != camera quality.
If you want to take decent photos, buy a good camera.
P.S. Taking landscape photos at night without a tripod = blurry.
here is the photo taken with sgs2
IMG_20120311_115720 by Nomi Omi, on Flickr
are my eyes weird cos the s2 pic looks better to me
or dear just go in this link and you will find more best picture taken by sgs2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139591
So my camera doesn't have any problems right? Cause in nexus photo asyou can see texts look good and clear in those boards even after zooming but in s2 photo it doesn't and s2 photo is so dull compared to nexus.. And I took few photos in night party where we used to hangout.. Picture which was taken in nexus was better than s2.. Like faces were looking clear without so much noise and blurry.. So I thought there might be some problems and posted here
On both photos it looks like you're trying to take a landscape night photo with the flash on (lolwut?). I really think you need to learn how to use a camera, specifically the operating range and capability of a flash and what ISO and shutter speed are.
I love seeing people out at night getting out there pocket camera (or even worse, phone), pointing it at a scene 200 metres away and expecting their flash to automagically make an awesome photo.
Thank you.. I'll learn how to use camera.. I don't have enough experience dealing with cameras.. I just used to do as you said... I'll try my best to learn about it.. So there is no problem about camera right?
And it was took around 6...

the difference you see is purely settings-derived
Picture is due to posting I the wrong forum .How the f222 can you manage to use the phone .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you look at the store under the "uninor" banner, SGS2 pic is clear while the nexus overexposes it. So it's the exposure setting that's different between the two photos that makes you think the SGS2 is taking darker photos.
Turn on night scene on the S2, problem solved.
I hate all this current selling lark that more == better. So many ppl simply look at a number and think "wow that's high it obviously better".
I've played with a 8mp camera phone and it got totally pissed on my a 3mp nikam proper slr. Always remember you are not going to take the best pictures on a cameras whoes Lens is smaller than a screw head.
As someone already said, megapixels are not a measure of the picture quality. Don't get confused with it. Pictures you have taken are generally bad because of the environment. If you want to take city pics at night then it is not a great idea to use phone for that purpose. Galaxy SII has wonderful camera that can beat almost every other phone's camera on the market. Here is the proof Best photo you've taken on the GS2

But in galaxy picture the motorcycles are much more in focus. You can't really compare them, it depends on what you wanted and how you set the camera. I am no photographer but I once had a camera where you could manually set aperture and shutter time (apart from the focus) and both shots could have come from the same camera with different aperture/shutter settings
You can try to use some camera hacks, some custom roms have it.
I think something's wrong with the sgs2 camera hardware... A long time ago, when I still had my sony ericsson k800, I remember it taking much better pics, even though it only had a 2mp cam...

Well, if you can not solve your problem with flashing Stock Roms or Custom Roms maybe something is wrong with your hardware as you say.

id strongly suggest you have a faulty gs2 if thats the case.
darker photos means less noise , brighter photos means higher noise value thus this will result in lowering the quality of the picture. but i think i have to agree with you on this. GB camera setting is abit better then ics . well for me anyways because i tend to take pictures with my phone (before i got a DSLR that is). now when i try to take the same picture with ICS its doesn't looks as good as the GB camera days.
I think its maybe the camera firmware.

[PHOTOS][POLL][21 March]Share photos clicked from HTC One

Some of us have already got their hands dirty with the new HTC One
Please share photos or Zoe links clicked by your HTC One, or maybe found by you on the web, clicked by One. I'll start this by sharing the images below:
Important note:
Before you say that photos from the One are bad, they look crap, or anything like that, first have a look here:

HTC should be done with this and simply include a default auto "Auto Enhance" apply feature
Full sized here
more about HTC Auto Enhance from my One X post here
Now Jonathan's Image are perfect example of why you need HDR which he did not use, the sky is over cast if you place the exposure in the sky the ground willl be dark and if you place it on the ground like he did the sky will washout
i have no doubt the results would have been much better with HDR or Backlight used
here is an example of HDR use in an overcast scene from my One X, like all reviewers stated (except phone and gsm arena) since the One X HTC has the best HDR on a phone

Hmm, seems too good to be true
Re: Share photos clicked from HTC One
The idea is great, and while I'm thankful for the previous shares I think that, from now on, only pictures actually taken by users should be shared so we can be sure it's not edited (improved) in any way.

@vegetaleb why? i can do the exact same results with my One X excellent HDR feature already (but not in video)
In fact i have tons of pictures i use to impress my friend with the One X of the exact same situation (cant share pictures of my wife )
but im pretty sure you were talking about the video side right?

Yup, some pictures taken by OEMs are using proper conditions, doesn't suit the average user
I think the problem that many of you did not try the amazing camera on the One X
auto focus, crazy fast shutter speed and perfected HDR were the highlights, amazing daylight ability
the only weakness was the piss poor low light image quality (not the light which was good but the quality of the low light image)
also macro focus distance was not so great

It looks like only a very very very few One were distributed for reviews,that's why 9 videos over 10 in youtube were taken from MWC and 19th Feb HTC convention.
This topic is very nice and it will get lot of new photos once HTC unleash it for reviewers so they will take photos in every single situation

just to show you that these bloggers/reviewers don't even try
if you check the images i took with my desire HD (in the signature) you will be more impressed
like i said HTC gives you tons of photographic control in the camera app, so really if you expect to pull the phone, take a shot with a shaky hand, not even try to improve it in the included gallery enhance features and expect to win a noble prize in photography, look elsewhere...
that being said if HTC did ruin their One X quality and color balance i would be pissed, so far i like what i am seeing, low light clean less noisy image was really the only thing missing
one more thing, i do worry about is the reported heavy using of JPEG compression being reported by testers

I had a one x and a s3 at the same time and despite what loads of people and reviews say, I thought the one x had a far better camera.

New camera performance, quality and flash brightness

Hi there,
So according to Sony the new camera is suppose to be something out of this world. but due to the horrible performance. I had my iphone 4's photos side by side with my z3c and I couldn't tell the difference for most.Therefore, I am very skeptical about what the new camera actually offers.
Another major issue for me was the flash on the phone. Since my first phone with a flash I found it very useful to have as a flash light. the Z3c however was a major disappointment in that area as my old iphone 4 outperforms it by far.
So what I'd like to see is a few photos from the z5c (night time aswell with flash).
Also, I'd like to hear your opinions regarding the new camera/flash and how well they performs

Dude, did you even search on google? Lots of samples pictures there. And yes its much better because the z3c camera is pretty ****.
But if you llke at them samsung note 5 pictures it will crap on the new Z5 phone.... just look at the samples http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4523/4953454/1/rv/sony-xperia-z5-compact-review/
Look at these camera samples:
http://www.xataka.com/analisis/sony-xperia-z5-compact-analisis
in my opinion it looks so good. I think eprice had a pre-production model or something like this.
The images are so noisy, I wish someone did a one inch sensor, my 808 still takes way better pictures than all of these.
Someone on reddit (hehihohu) posted this album and this video.
I think it's not better than the S6 but it's definetively a top 5 camera in my opinion.

Yeah not bad at all, I will wait a bit more though and see if they release it in my country, and if not then I'll import it
If I compare a zoomed photo between the Z5 and the LG G4 or Samsung S6, I can see a poor quality coming from the Z5.
For instance, I'm talking about the 2nd sample from this link. Go to the chart called "Xperia Z5 vs Z3 vs 6 Plus vs S6 vs G4 indoor camera samples", then find the 2nd group of pictures. Double click on the candle with the label that says "REWINED" (in order to zoom the photo) and compare the quality between the Z5 and the G4/S6.

However, what If we use another camera, like "Google Camera"? I would love to see how the Z5 family work with that camera and know if the quality improves or dimish.

It looks very good, but there is blurring on the top left of every photo (top right in portrait) probably because of misaligned lens. Sony needs to fix their QC problems.
Everything else looks fantastic.
Here are some pictures I just took using z5c stock camera app:

Thanks for that info!
The "Stock Camera" seems to be a bit better than the "Google camera".
However both cameras are nice for me.
There is one thing with the Google camera that i don't understand. The "Size".
If you compare the first sample, there is a big difference in the size (969KB vs 2,67MB).
P.S.: Did you try "HDR" (if available) in the Google Camera?

When looking at the settings in Google Camera, I can only use 8.3 MP for the back camera. Save location is off and there is no option for HDR.

Thanks, I just sent this information using the "Feedback" function within the app. I hope is just something that can be fixed with an app update (something like "add support for Z5 phones" ).
Are there manual camera settings available in the Sony camera app or via a 3rd party app? Especially manual shutter speed selection??

Yes, via 3rd party apps. All manual controls supported. No RAW support yet though.
so far I can't complain. definitely no artifitial noise reduction when zomming photos.

Excellent pics! Have you used Auto mode or some jedi tricks?
According to Xperia blog, the Z5 series was tested by DxOMark and found to be the best overall mobile camera they have tested to date (beating S6, Note series, iPhone 6 plus, etc):
