Hi,
i started on the official Sony Mobile support forum a Topic with the difference between Burst and Automatic Mode .
Here ist the link : Link : http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/445145#445145
Perhaps WE FROM THE XDA FORUM can write more reviews into the Sony Topic and perhaps Sony will see that they made a (i hope) software error !
We should show Sony the Way !!
I've already talked to a Sony dev and made them aware of the issue. They said they have already gotten other reports about it as well, but continue to let them know. The more people that complain about the issue the better.

Ok that's good .
How you say The more people write about this issue into the Forum of Sony Mobile the more will Sony see that the People aren't stupid
Don't know what you people are looking at, but pictures on my Z on burst mode come out disgusting. Loads of noise, no extra detail, they look absolutely awful. Just do not know what making normal pictures look like crap will do to help....
Simply put we need a sharpness and compression control setting like the HTC One, that's it.
i have a camera related issue but its not directed at burst mode, when I take pictures at night I get a blue tint at the bottom of the photo if im holding it in portrait and if I have it in landscape its obviously on the right hand side its not a subtle tint but a very dark tint and its pretty bad. anyone having the same issue?
the problem is that this is the second xperia z to have done this so if I am the only one this has happened to then I must be the unluckiest guy in the world to get two handsets with the same fault

The smoke truth is, the low light performance of the Z is only decent when you use night portrait in scenes. Try that and see if the quality improves.
Also I really don't know where all this talk of bust mode pictures being better comes from. For me they're are absolutely horrible. Noisy as hell and just unusable.
The only problem with the Zs camera is under low light, it's much improved if you use night portrait as I said but that's the only weakness I've found. In good light it smashes everything I've compared it to so far. IPhone 4S and 5 don't compare and my friends GS3 is no where close.
The Zs camera gets a bad rep because the Z gets a bad rep from the tech blogs. Sony is an outsider and I doubt they've greased many palms.

tell sony to get their cybershot department to write some proper software.
I've been comparing my xperia z to my blackberry z10 and the blackberry pictures are so much better. Same subject, one shot after the other. Sony really need to fix this. And quickly.
the other biggest ISSUE of Xperia Z camera is it takes DAMN LONG time to load up.:crying:

Similar problem on low-light (used night portrait scene, night scene, normal, all with flash).
Cleaned the lens, flash etc. Seems like the flash is placed a little bit too close to the lens.
No idea when its releasing I guess Jan end ,but this is true ,features are leaked.
Managed to get hold of these improvements when working on it. I will keep u updated as soon as I can get more info
My id :[email protected]
HDR IMPROVEMENT
TOUCH DRIVERS UPDATED ,AS EVERY MAJOR UPDATE DOES
BATTERY PROBLEM SOLVED
BATTERY SUCK STOPPED. the x- reality enhanced for sharper images.
Game lag fixed.
Launcher updated.
Panorama corrector
Depth variation improved for visual effects.
Sony®Alfred
Whats game lag, why is it bravia engine 2 when it was suppose to be an upgrade going to x reality engine. I actually wish they would add a tweakable setting for x reality. Really like the color and contrast calibration but thing become pixelated and too sharp. And what was the battery problem?
I am not sure how relaiable is this but at first it looks like a minor update. There is no camera enhancements???
can you elaborate more on these points
BATTERY SUCK STOPPED. THE BUG WAS SUCKING
Game lag fixed.
do you mean just improved battery life? I am not aware of any of these two bugs
what is bravia engin2? do you mean X-reality?
and what do you mean by
Depth variation improved for visual effects.
is it camera improvements?
Sony spoke we get 4.3 in December
i wait for 4k video
any camera improvement?

The lag could be a driver optimization, Final fantasy 4 lags a bit, but i could be fault of SE sucky developers for android

i think there will be some improvement bcos leaked images taken from z1s with 4.3 jellybean and with the same cam hardware has cam firmware as f400(from exif info) meanwhile we have f310 with the latest .257 firmware................so z1 will also be updated.

Yeah that is an interesting one, I think you will be waiting a while. Yes the CPU is capable but I don't believe that the internal USB interface is fast enough to cope with decent frame rates at 4k, because you will be wanting to save these to SD due to the size, and I don't think 10-12MB/s will cut it. Unless Sony can pull a rabbit out of the hat

It is most likely to be the Linux & Java memory management, and the garbage collection events causing micro pauses. I have one game which is pretty simple which has some lags on the Z1.

Urcat
LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS:
THREAD CLOSED
OP WARNED TO NOT POST NOT CONFIRMED INFORMATIONS
URCAT IS HAPPIER
But seriously those informations are not confirmed and are purely speculative. Wait few weeks and we all will see what were updated and what not.
My impressions on 4.4 update:
Camera gets pictures faster after getting proper focus compared to 4.3
UI seems a bit smoother - it just feels smoother
Webpages get loaded faster
Data transfer between pc and phone over Wi-Fi without any external apps seems to be a good idea
Nothing new in camera apps. I got terribly disappointed.
We've got the new video editor that has the slow down the video option. That looks like they didn't remove that function from the Z1 or maybe Timeshift Video is coming for us. I'm sure that .681 FW is going to be updated soon as creative app is laggy just like on ported version. Same thing for showing camera apps (change mode from SA to anything else)
Camera apps can be rearranged by tap and hold.
I can't tell about any REAL new features. We've got wifi data transfer and printing. So far I can't see any other features.
Statusbar can't be swiped to change from notifications to toggles. You have to press the toggles button to change to those. It's not really a big thing, but I got really annoyed by that in 10 minutes of 4.4 on Z1.
Camera launches faster.
Summary:
I'm kind of dissapointed by the update. I hoped to get more out of it.
I'll give it a try for a few days though. We'll see if I'd really benefit from the update. (TBH I'm too lazy to do rerooting, restoring backup etc. and I'm a bit curious if there's anyting new here.
Please drop all your opinions/feelings about 4.4 update below.
PS. If you think that this thread is useless - let me know. I'll tell the moderators to delete it.

Confirm fixed. C6906
Lost + button to add more themes.
But big question is...
Anyone could pls explain how localization now works on 4.4.2?
In 4.3 I could have localization thru 3g on and gps off, then I'd turn gos on with a switch when using maps on nav app, and ogff again when finished.
Now all I have is a switch that enables/disables localization and an option with 3 way of working: 1. gps + 3g + wifi, 2. Gps + wifi or 3. gps only.
I am lost... If I choose option 1 than is my gps always on sucking battery? If I choose 2 how can I easily enable gps when in nav app? And if I choose 3 how can I still have google localize me thru wifi when localization is off?
This is so stupid, they should have kept 3g and gps localization separate...

Just a couple things I would change as overall I'm happy with the phone...
The bezels are huge considering the screen size. I would love a tighter fitting chassis.
I have a 6906 so I would love to be able to unlock the boot loader. The entire root process was very complex compared to every phone I've owned. It is needlessly difficult for a new user.
Viewing angles could be better.
Aside from that I'm very happy with this phone.
What would you change?
Speakers, definitely.

the damned ASF
Z2 is pretty much what I want Z1 to be.......
any way to change the colour of the Font in notification bar, that white on grey looks pretty bad (no root)
I thought there was a theme editor being released, I noticed on the Z2 that the font is blue

Apply screen protectors straight out of the box (front & back high quality made in Japan ones) and then you don't have to worry about the ASF.

actually they tense to do that with lot of the exclusive software side features after the new device is 6 months old. By the time the older devices get them, they also get the newer version. Like background defocus, the whole social camera thing all were released to older device that didn't ship with them.

What is your setup then? And tbh, this makes me feel really bad because of me having this device for just a month or something. And even with a clean install of stock firmware it gives problems with that. Meanwhile the benchmarks etc are really good. 34k in antutu is no problem. That's also why i don't understand what's going on.
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------
Oh and it's mainly album, conversations and phonebook/call log which give way too much jank/stutter/lag in my opinion. Apps like chrome and gmail scroll pretty good, just like the ui combined with nova launcher. Almost no lag to be found there.
If I had the the Z2's screen, speakers and 32gb storage I would have the perfect phone

I'm getting there also, i noticed that an app i used caused quite alot of lag. Noroot firewall. I changed it with Afwall+ and the lag is almost completely gone. I just experience some scroll lag when going through messaging or album, but i guess that's normal and will get less if i eventually get the bootloader unlocked and stuff like doomkernel installed. Until then i'm happy with the snappyness!
Btw, rajeev's black apps combined with aneurysm theme and 120fps timeshift also really help to make me love this phone more.

Hello,
Im trying to decide what device will be my next phone and i have been strongly considering the s5 but there is something that i would like to have on my next phone and that is the ability to do slow motion, but i only in a portion of the clip and i can't find a definitive answer as to whether the s5 does that or not.
I know it can record in slow motion, 120fps, but can i then edit and select a portion to be in slow motion and other at regular speed (like on htc one and on the z2)?
If not from stock, is there an alternative app or mod that allows me to do that?
It might not seem like a big deal, but it was a feature i would like to have on the camera because i have had some moments where i it would have been nice to have that feature.
Thank you!

The camera on the Z series isn't bad but i've found that the s5 is superior, once rooted on the z series you will lose the bionz engine, not to mention that when you zoom in the pictures are incredibly grainy, i would stay stick with the s5, it's a beast of a phone and the 120fps shooting works just as good as the z does. There is an editor on the handset already and there are tonnes of them you can get for windows and android.

I didnt know that root on the z2 made it lose functions. Thats a shame :/
The camera on the s5 does seem impressive, not as much in low light but still. But the editor on s5 you mention, do you know if it will allow to speed up some parts of the vídeo and leave others in slow mo?

Well not rooting but unlocking the bootloader, apologies. One of the easiest devices to root though, unlocking the bootloader will only allow you to install custom recoveries, personally I wouldn't bother, retain your warranty and you're only an FTF flash away from complete stock, no harm done.
Even after unlocking the bootloader the camera is still decent, there is a drop in clarity but it's not a deal breaker, but either with or without losing features, the S5 is still superior imho.
I'm just downloading the editor from samsung apps to check for you, but i'm guessing that you can.

A huge thank you! I don't have access to a s5 and the info on that is not very specific, it would be great if it was possible to even just record slow speed and then speed it up(its the other way around on other devices, but it ends up being the same).
I wasn't aware of that about the z2, but yeah, aside from some functions on the z2 from what i have seen, the s5 seems to be better and its one of major points for the s5 for me.
No problem mate, but i'm afraid it doesn't, not with the stock editor, but there are others which you could use which will do the same, not sure which ones but there are quite a few, i'm almost certain that this can be done on windows.

On windows, software like after effects or maybe even other free video editors can probably do it. I have to try it.
I would rather have it on the phone though =/ Its a shame that samsung didn't follow the trend from other manufactures for handling slow motion.
If i end up finding an app that does that on android, i will let you know also!
Thank you for all the help!

Those seem to do what i want Especially the first one, i need to try it.
Hopefully my s5 will arrive tomorrow and i will test it out
You recorded regular video on samsung camera and then slowed it down on the app? Since samsung processes the video to slow it down, can it be used on the app and then increase or decrease the speed? I also want to try record with smooth motion(60fps) and then slow it down to see what it looks like, probably not as good as 120fps but it might be enough to do what i want.

Yea won't be as good but it won't look too bad. All these ice bucket challenges floating around slow mo is a good idea for it.
I just slowed down a regular vid.
