I've done.this so that people can understand the importance of being still!!!
I wasn't even visibly shaking either by,the way, the camera is just sensitive,... Remember this!
so here is a picture with hand movement (minimal)
and here is a picture exactly the same that I took. I tried very hard to keep still this time
both were in an unlit room this afternoon which is pretty dark, that's why I used flash too
with handshake by wezzel98765, on Flickr
with still hands whilst stood by wezzel98765, on Flickr
This truly is the reason why,so many people hate their phone picture quality I think. I could've been more still on the second picture too...
Ah, so one shouldn't shake his hands while taking a picture? Awesome... would have never guessed that one. Perhaps I should trying pouring my next drink without shaking as well.
Seriopusly though... This is not why ppl are bothered with the camera (although hey, wouldn't OIS solve this at least partially... why not add that to the camera). It's the noisiness/white balancing/auto mode. Anyway, it's all a matter of expectations and taste. Flame on
Haha
I think people are saying that their pictures aren't clear because they are moving their hands slightly
Yes the noise is a pain,in,the backside.
You could drop the ISO to 200 instead of using 500.
But you got no shake in there at 1/8s (going by the text on the box and cans ), which is good.
Do you use the dedicated camera button or touch to focus on the screen ?

Yep, same here. Check the "post pictures" thread, there are plenty of these lines in night shots.
I don't have an idea how to prevent them... I'll check the android bug tracker...

I made a post about this a while back. I have the same issues with the white lines. it seems only to be in low light conditions. its very annoying and hope there is a bug fix soon for it.
AW: Vertical white lines on high iso pics?
Good news, Google replied on the issue tracker a couple of days ago, they found a fix which will be included in a future update.

great photo but a litlle noisy....:good:
Not impressed. It looks blurry and seems to be held on a tripod that is slightly wavering in the wind. The phone goes to utter ****e when a normal person holds the phone with normal shake and, dear god, tries to pan even the slightest, because thats what people do with their phones. The framerate goes down the crapper and the image ghosts and artifacts like crazy. This is all due to incompetent software too, not the camera module itself. Even a budget Samsung phone can have super smooth and uniform night video, even though the quality is meh.

You got a slow internet connection? Maybe try running the clip at 1080p resolution instead of 240p lol.
Not gonna lie, the OP's video was so-so. I mean I have seen worse, but my s3 takes as good of video honestly.
I don't believe their video recording was one of their big selling points anyway, more so about the bigger pixels, screen and blinkfeed and actually better battery life for a change....oh and design.

You have seen worse, but apparently you don't know that the bigger pixels directly translate to better low light video?
It's quite possible that conditions were a lot darker to the person actually taking the video.

Cool story, do you have the phone? If not, shut up because you clearly have no evidence to back your position. If anything, this person is probably shaking quite a bit because the OIS isn't compensating for the motion.
To the person that dismisses the video, turn on HD viewing on YouTube. It makes it leaps and bounds better. I'm going to assume that the person who uploaded this video, did so in low quality.
This will be my next phone as soon as my upgrade hits in June!

Its a 4MP camera guys, and its competing against phones with 8MP plus cameras, and its still holding its own.
One thing I've noticed about the camera is that some pictures end up over exposed in normal lighting conditions if I hit the screen to focus in on something, I then have to point the camera away into a darker scene for the exposure to sort itself out. I posted some pics somewhere in the forum of a black steering wheel looking kinda grey.

There is a couple threads in the Z3 section about the camera having a pink spot in the middle of pics. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2919096
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/xperia-z3-camera-purple-tint-lots-noise-t2917459
I can confirm my camera has this same spot in certain conditions. Anyone else experiencing it? It seems to be effecting a lot of z3's. Wondering if it's happening on all of the Z3 and Z3c. I'm still within my exchange period and am debating getting it exchanged. Only thing is there is no point if it's effecting all of them and risk getting a device with a different defect
They all have it, and afaik it only happens with automatic white balance. In theory, SonyMobile should be able to fix this through a software update. But the question is: will they? Some phones of other brands have had the exact same problem and some of those had it fixed with a software update.
another day a new issue with the z3's... am i right folks?

It's not a new issue by any means.
My Xperia Z2 Tablet has the exact same pink spot, by the way. It's a "normal" problem with the type of sensor that is used.

It certainly doesn't affect all pictures, only in some specific situations with automatic white balance. Here's a picture without pinkness in the center, the grey in the center is just grey, with no pink hue.

Guys I've noticed when recording a video and I focus on something close the focusing noise comes through when playing the video back. When I move away from the object I can hear the camera ree focus but the buzzing is not loud. The refocusing noise is only loud when I focus on something close.
How is the camera? Can you make with the camera close macro photo's?

I have not had that experience. I just tried it now in my office and I didn't hear any focusing noise. I went from focus on a wall about 10 ft away to a water bottle maybe 10 inches away and no focus sound.
The video was not made in total silence you could hear some people moving around in the background but it was pretty quiet.
I was super impressed with how quickly it refocused though!

The camera is very impressive. The auto focus is faster than my DSLR. The picture quality is better than any smart phone I ever had. There was a lot of talk about the lack of Image Stabilization but my last phone had stabilization and i often got blurry photos in low light anyway. The 6p gets crisper shots w/o the stabilization.
You can't really take "macro" photos w/o using a macro lens adaptor. You can get rather close though. I have found the auto focus will focus on things as close as 5 inches away (I measured it).
The autofocus can refocus from less extreme distances so quickly that you can't even really see it. It is almost instant.

I'm pretty sure that's the camera focusing. Not sure if it's software or hardware?
Is anyone else experiencing it?
I just took a couple of test videos and noticed that there is a slight sound when focusing. However, it's only discernible with the volume way up. At that point you're going to hear all kinds of other distracting/background noises as well (in my case the hum of the fridge and my fan). Not really a deal-breaker for me.

I'm pretty sure that sound is your hand moving the camera not the lens focusing.
It's definitely the autofocus. Put the phone next to your ear and tap to focus for a picture. You'll hear very fast clicks. My best guess is this is the laser firing repeatedly for laser auto focus. A diode firing can make a sound. Idt there is anything that can be done about this.

With a wide angle lens auto focus works at under an inch
I use my camera to take pictures of documents, it's faster than scanning them in - I'm finding something that bothers me.
If I focus on the center of the document, the top is a little fuzzy. If I focus at the top, it gets fuzzier as it gets to the bottom. I don't notice it on regular pictures I take, just when I take an up close picture of a document. You can even see this on screen as you are looking at the document.
Can someone take a picture of a document, focus in the center and see if it's all phones, or just mine?
I've attached a picture, you can see it's "fuzzy" at the top of the document, but still legible.
[EDIT]
I noticed if I folded the top of the document towards me, it comes in focus.....So it's almost like the lens is warped possibly? If this is an inherent trait of the A7, I keep it.. If it's just mine, I'll send it back for a replacement, because this is something I do quite often.

Really? Hmmm
I just spent 30 minutes on "live chat" support....I sent the original picture and they seen my issue. They walked me through the normal "stuff" and then had me restart in Safe Mode. After restarting in safe mode and taking more pics and sending them all to the tech, they said it looks like my lens is slightly tilted.
So, I had the option of:
1) Having them fix it with a 10 day turn-around, which means I'd be without a phone for 10 days
2) For an additional $79 they'd send me an exchange first, "Advanced Exchange", so I wouldn't be without a phone
3) Going through with my Amazon exchange and hope I get the replacement before my 30 day window is up to return the faulty phone.
I told them I'd go with Amazon, but if yours is like that, I'm wondering if I should just keep mine now?
Thanks for testing that out for me!

Yep, looks identical to my issue. Regular pics look great, just the close up's are an issue.
I'm gonna think on it and leave my exchange in place until I decide.

Haven't tested yet but my theory is that the part/section the camera is focusing is clear and the rest of the image is having a DoF effect, i have to test this out but is just an idea.
I don't own the phone yet so i can't test it :/
But trying something similar with my Find 7 i got this :
So we have the same effect, just much less pronounced...
I'm no expert in the optic behind a smartphone camera but isn't it just due to the fact that the top of the page is at a far greater distance than the middle ? The difference between the two distance is too great for the camera to get a good focus of both. This would explain why it's only showing on macro pictures...
EDIT : Well, seems i got the same idea as @DrakenFX but he was faster ^^'

the 4:3 will force you to move away from the page in order to capture it fully, which should in turn decreases the DOF and soft edge effects. Not sure the 16:9 sensor was a smart choice, samsung went back to 4:3 after S6 because the blurring on the edges was too much.
