There is no best,its manual and you set iso if you take day or dark night pic's,if you want good z1c pic's you need to go full manual
Ps. Apart from iso,other settings don't make much difference

You clearly have no idea how camera works, do you? You setup your settings depending on situalion. There is no 'the best' or 'the worst' setting.

Snapseed (editing app, NIK EFEX(professional photo editing too for photoshop) for Android, Google bought them.): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed
It has a center blur setting that you can drop anywhere on the photo and change the blur around it. Also, it's free.

Post your photos! Not for comparison but to show off your photographing skillz!

Let the fun begin!!

How are you liking the compact? I returned the z5 and might get the compact or wait for the premium. The z5 is too big for its screen size ratio

More autumn pix
Here's my Z5 pics.

It's really nice. The scenery, the colors, the dynamic range.
Are most of these shots taken with the auto mode? They do not look good. I am not sure what is off about these but something very artificial. Those manual 20MP shots on the other hand do look nice.

I think the same, all pics look really weird (bad being honest...), It is disappointing, specially those pictures with trees and grass :/

They seem to have the same problem as before. I wanted the Z3 but those pictures we're really disappointing in comparison with the competition. It's the same this year. Sigh.

Camera app has been updated!

The Camera app has just been updated on my Z5 .. unfortunately, I forgot to take a screenshot of the changelog (but mostly it seemed to be about the UI and Superior Auto seems to be improved). EDIT: see @schecter7's post directly below mine for the changelog!
Looking at it, the UI was changed the same as how it was supposed to look like based on the promo videos and demo units from before. Sadly, there is no manual shutter speed yet as far as I can see, manual focus, and still cannot change ISO when shooting at 20MP/23MP mode.
We all know thought that Sony tends to have 'hidden' changes to their algorithm whenever they have these kinds of updates as evidenced from updates before. I'm still waiting for the complete changelog from XperiaBlog but so haven't time yet to do any extensive testing.
Did you notice any significant changes in yours apart from the UI changes?
Changelog attached
Edit: Now we could swipe to change modes, added another (third) screenshot.

Limitet manual , no iso at 20-23 mp
Low light photo blure decreased
Left blure rest with no change
I installed the update and I've noticed that the problem with noise in low-light... in fact ingeneral is a bit better. It's still not as good as the galaxy line as far as crispness / saturation, but I don't think that's Sony's goal. For real, if I could install the Samsung camera app and libraries on this phone, I'd be all over that. Anyway it does seem to have improved, noticeably.
Where can I change the GPS tag and save folder location in this new app? Can't find it. Thanks.

Trying not to speak too soon as I've not done anything near a comprehensive test but there do seem to be improvements in processing, though not as marked as I had expected. The one biggie is the zoom: to my eyes, the processing on the zoom is much better now; the sharpening fringing on edges is much smaller, which means that it's less of an oil painting mess when you crop the zoomed image. And that's in low indoor light.
8MP generally seems sharper.
More to follow.
On the interface, I note that they've hidden the exposure and colour adjustments on SA in a menu (boo!) but given a button to switch them off when you want to return to auto (yay!) swings and roundabouts but generally pleased.
EDIT: Yep, definitely better digital zoom. Good enough to piece together small text (Just about legibly) at 5x. Trust me: it was not doing that before!

Interesting. Mine is like this... I have even cleared the camera data.

So still no manual shutter speed in this update?
I thought that this would be a given since the Z5 supports manual features now, or don't they?
Is it possible to control the shutter speed with 3rd party apps? What's the resolution and the shutter speed range? Is it actually working or does the system override the manual settings?

You seem to be missing the "More" option. That's where the rest of the settings in the screenshots posted here are.

Did yours update over your phone or by the linked app file?
Sent from my Xperia z5 using Tapatalk
The fisheye effect at long focal lengths at the edges of pictures appears to have been corrected. Definite colour balance tweaks, spot on now for me.

Through auto update. Tried uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. Don't really want to format the phone just because of the camera.

Disable background blur in camera app?

Anyone know how to make background images clear like the focused images when using the camera ?
Another words disabling the background blur in a single photo and have the focused pic and back ground equal in quality

That would require an adjustable aperture on the lens. Google bokeh and depth of field if you care about what causes that.
Until we have a fully working manual focus tweak, this can't really be achieved unless you adjust your positioning when taking the photo.
It's a work in progress here, but I haven't personally been able to get it to work.
