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.

I am considering buying a Universal and one concern is that the camera is only 1.3 mp....many reviews have said that 1.3 mp cameras are poor at best ....worthless use of space at worst...
Can any of you Universal users comment on your use of camera?? Can you get good pics from it ....or is it truly a waste of space?
thanks
on the fence...

The camera is not that great but this might be of assistance, have not tried it personally as I have a good digital camera

It's not the best camera I've used but if you have a stable hand then it can work pretty well.
This is from K750:

All of these are from Universal:
I am not too impressed with the camera either, but then again, it's my first camera on a phone and I am used to digital camera quality. I use it for taking snapshots, and I use a good digital camera for photo's. That's the way it should be.
It just comes in handy when I'm on the road or whatever, because I always carry the phone with me, whereas I do not have a digital camera with me all the time.
I think it's just handy and the quality doesn't matter all that much for it's purpose.
look for more photos made by the universal here: http://www.newmobile.nl/eur/en/photos.php?phone_id=12bb134
you can also find photos on that site taken with other phones for comparing..
thanks everyone

That last photo of yours...do you notice the dead/bright/insensitive pixels? I get that on mine as well....how come?
I just found this over at DPReview Fujifilm forums of a person who shot this macro series with an HD2 and a attachable lens. Amazing I agree.
BTW, after checking the pictures properties, I think he has a HD2Android (It says HTC Desire) =D

yaw dropping. those pictures look great!
where can i buy one!
wow~~ very nice!!! where can we get this " Fujifilm FinePix Macro Lens Adapter"? Any idea?
Although the pictures were edited by photoshop, it still looks great! i wish to get one.
Anyway, after i install android on my HTC HD2, i just download Fxcamere! It is fun too... anyone use this before? We could take pic with effects like "toy cam", "Paloriod" and "Fish eye"! and the picture effect is nice too! hehe..... If you havent tried it, you should give it a try~
I'd love one too if anyone could find it.
I dont care that he fixed it in photoshop, the result looks amazing anyways!
I have heard of people using a lense from reading glasses placed over the camera lense getting pretty good results taking macro shots. Im gonna try n make me a macro lense this weekend, will post back results. Also in addition to fxcamera, try funny warp. You can photo yourself or friend and warp them. I have made some pretty cool images by drawing a face on paper and using funny warp on it lol (dont got no friends and im too ugly when i take a pic the app says already warped enough)
Pls do Post the pictures taken by xperia sp after updating it to the latest available firmware version i.e., 12.0.A.2.245
Also rate the camera now in terms of low light photography

From the image posted, i can't see any improvement in the quality of the photo other than the brightness which could be down to the weather. The detail is just as rubbish with the new firmware. Photos with the SP look like they've been taken with one of those cheap tiny spycam's that people attach to their bikes.
My older Xperia S (upgraded firmware) photo quality is much better than the Xperia SP which is a shame because initially i hated the Xperia S photo quality (mainly focus problems though) which is why i was so desperate to upgrade to a new phone. I feel like a muppet thinking Sony would learn the mistakes from the past and yet here they go again, the company that makes the actual hardware and sells it to other phone makers but apparently it has no clue how to refine the software to get the best results while others with Sony's hardware manage to get better results.
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.
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.
