My camera quality is pretty bad. It is very noisy like dots and all. The lens are clean and unscratched.
Are there any settings for Camera and such? Like quality... and all
Wildfire camera is very shake sensitive. So keep it steady while taking pictures.
My settings
Exposure,Contrast,Saturation,Sharpness-> 0
Effect-> None
White Balance->Auto
ISO-> Auto
Resolution->5M
Quality->High
Metering mode-> Average
Flicker adjustment-> Auto
Auto Focus->On
It's still pretty noisy. The thing is that in WildPuzzle ROM the quality is great, but when I'm using CM7 it's poor, noisy.
Increase the iso levels. The camera works like magic now

How do I increase ISO levels?
Use alternative cam app like camera360 pro for photo and lgcamera for video

Now, you people judge which is the better quality picture of the two.
For me, COLOR OS has natural colors but CM Camera gives a bit more punchier colors. Clarity is great on both.
How can we decide... it's not the SAME photo on a tripod, and for sure you focused a different point in each, so different exposure for sure...
Only clear difference, it's that Cm Camera have more saturated colors than the "natural" coloros camera..
Cm Camera looks better to me...
Also, the resolution has been reduced so the actual image compression can't be compared.
I reckon that you maybe used the modded camera next which increased saturation by default.
In all my comparisons there were no visible differences between the color os and cm camera
when equally setup on auto mode.
Second photo has increased saturation (see leaves) and contrast (see sky). That's the whole difference. Reduce those parameters and you will see no difference
The examples are kind of pointless. As many pointed out - not original size, not the same composition/focus point.
As for CM camera Saturation and contrast is increased, but it can be set accordingly (at least in CMNextMOD).

Please use the existing thread HERE
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Moto X4's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
With flash it's 5 stars. Works pretty good without. Works as good as my S8.
I took some test shots on my phone today, using 3 different camera apps:
- The Stock Moto Camera
- The Stock Google Camera from the Play Store
- Modified Google Camera found Here. MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Full_PXL2_v.1.4_60FPS_noburst_v3
I tested in a large room with the lights off, and sunlight coming in. There are lots of shadows and dark areas, as well as very bright spots. I tested with HDR Off, HDR On, and HDR Auto (if applicable). I also threw in a wide angle, for comparison. (spoiler: Ew).
Some things that surprised me, in no particular order:
- The Stock Moto HDR actually did a decent job at brightening up the dark areas, and giving the shadows a bit of color. Not a ton of extra noise, either. However, the window was still washed out.
- Stock Google Cam didn't offer anything the others didn't, and HDR On/Off didn't seem to do a thing.
- Modified Google Cam definitely helped with the bright spots, as those are the only 2 pictures that you could see out the window, but it also introduced a LOT of noise in the shadows and dark areas. This is a known side effect of HDR in low-light, as I saw the same effect on my 5x when using HDR+ in low light.
I may try a different Modified Gcam, and try to input the settings manually. Hopefully that will result in better pics, as otherwise the Stock Moto camera seems to be our best bet for now.
The stock camera app in normal picture mode is not using good ISO/shutter speed combinations in low light at all. Take some and check the info on your images. It always goes for high ISO and faster shutter speed. It stops on 1/15 A LOT, and seems to adjust ISO from there. Switch to Professional Mode and force a slower shutter speed, lower ISO and now they look much better. HDR on this app is garbage with those auto focus settings too. It works much better with higher quality images with less noise, which the auto focus is incapable of providing in any low light situations.
I did some more tests with the v4.0 AIO modified Gcam, and there wasn't a difference.
I went back to the v1.4, and took some pics at home. These were very low-light, with candles the only light source in the room. I noticed similar trends:
Stock Cam is VERY blochy when you zoom in.
Stock HDR seems to brighten the whole image, but isn't very, you know, dynamic.
Stock Cam is way less noisy/blochy when you zoom in. It preserves much more detail.
Modified Gcam using HDR+ does a MUCH better job handling the candle light in the pic, as the light source isn't overexposed.
I may do some 100% crops and share them tomorrow, but Stranger Things 2 with the wife is more important atm. #sorrynotsorry.

I'm using the manual Google APK here with HDR+ and it's also using very high ISOs, even in pretty good light. I have a lamp behind me, lights on in the room and both apps are using an ISO2400. If I manually set the ISO to 1200 or lower, I can still take a good photo by manually adjusting the shutter speed to 1/15, 1/10, or even 1/8 (anything lower and it's blurred). This HW should be capable of blazing fast auto focus so there is zero reason it's setting the ISOs so high. High ISO = more noise, less detail. Fast auto focus should mean that lowering the ISO in low light will focus better, faster, with less blur from the slower shutter speed. Something ain't right here.
HDR+ will clean up the noise from the high ISO setting some.

That's odd. Is this an issue you've been experiencing on the optimum configs (manual version) or with both modded apps?

Yeah, you're right on this. I did some more test last night, and the most consistent seems to be the modified Gcam HDR+. It preserves more detail while keeping the noise down.
Basically, I feel like these are all just playing around with settings and apks that are meant for other phones. I know the Gcam software can work wonders, and I know the sensor/ISP/DSP/CPU can support more than what the stock Moto Cam is doing, but getting a modded Gcam apk that's meant for out phones would be fantastic. Unfortunately, it'll take someone smarter than me to piece it all together.
Coming from a much older S3, the moto x4 camera is WAY ahead.
I have a small laser projector that only outputs 63 lumens.
The S3 camera could never get a photo on the highest setting.
The x4 camera does it easily.
Apples and Oranges possibly, but the camera is not nearly as "bad" as some
reviews stated.

Is it really? I'm choosing between the S7 and the X4, the camera being the only thing making me lean towards the Galaxy.

I had an S7 for work until recently. Hated it. Battery life is worse than X4, too much bloatware, and the fingerprint sensor on it suuuuucked. Rear camera was about the same as X4 but front was inferior. No contest. Get the X4.
Please think twice believing reviewers.
Most of them hated Moto X4's camera coz it has a sluggish and mediocre quality when it comes to depth (portrait mode).
BUT I can assure you that my Moto X4 performs on par with HTC 10 when it comes to ALL lighting conditions.
I took photos side by side and the quality is the same. I even found that the Moto X4 does NOT need to auto trigger HDR in the lowlight pic I took (HTC did auto trigger HDR).
Both HTC 10 and Moto X4 have minimal noise and really looks almost the same given that they are using a different ISP (SD 820 vs SD 630).
I'll try to upload both pics so you can check them as well.
Quick one from today.
The Galaxy S7 will definitely has a better camera quality BUT the X4 also has a pretty good camera so you won't get disappointed.
BUT I'd rather choose Moto X4 since it is a new device while S7 is already almost 2 generations older (S9 is coming).

Yes.
Four low light examples. They were taken in hostile lightning codtions by Gcam HDR+. No tripod. The quality and the dynamic range is at the same level as Nexus 5x, Pixel 1.
Can you share a gCam version that you use. And setting ...I try few, but for me quality of stock camera photos is better. Thx.

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Nokia 7 Plus's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I need to say that color accuracy is not good. I had a Nexus 5X and a low cost Lenovo K5 before and both had problems maybe with blue and green but the Nokia 7 Plus has problems with ALL colors and with red. The picture is over saturated overall which makes already rich saturated pictures with people's skin look like ORANGE colored skin! I mean adding saturation to pictures is sometimes okay but not to all pictures especially when skin gets orangish/red!
Everything would not bother me if the Android dev team would allow color correction and/or saturation correction in Android. Instead they refuse to put this kind of fine granular color correction in their base Android and Nokia 7 plus has no option to change this (in my eyes) display error.
I could correct this issue a little (but not good) with the paid app screen balancer but it has many down sites (because it's a layer on top of all apps).
Please Nokia offer us more color correction options. As a photographer I feel a little insulted by oversaturated pictures and no option to change that. Maybe I will return this phone because a little better color accuracy is something I value highly.
Please ignore this message.
I mistook this thread to be the one for camera pictures (accuracy & saturation).
I think rating a camera based on one particular camera app (in above case - Nokia camera app), isn't totally fair.
If you would use Gcam mod, you will notice the difference in saturation & accuracy being delivered much better. Same hardware, different software.
I use the Gcam mod, and so far have observed rightly-saturated pics with a good balance of color temperatures (most of the times).
With Gcam Pixel3 Mod camera, I will easily vote the color saturation and accuracy at 90%.
Cheers,
Sony.

Apologies.
Any idea how I can desaturate the display? I mean, there is an sRGB slider in the dev options, but it doesn't do anything, and resets itself. The display, well is not decently calibrated.

Yes, also noticed this slider. It resets itself all the time and I also don't know if it does something because this reset is near instand.
Theoretical this app could be a good solution when the phone would be rootable (but apparently the bootloader can only be unlocked by paying to some strange guys):
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.xda.sa2ration
Best would be if Nokia itself allows saturation slider in some settings app
The pro version of "screen balancer" in play store could also help but if you exaggerate you loose deep black levels
TL;DR no good solution currently.
Thanks for replying. That is a damn shame. Do we know if that is still not possible in the P Beta? Is there anybody who could test this?
Right now I'm not sure if I'll keep this phone, exactly for that reason, so I'm not really doing the flashing thing yet. Thanks again
Btw, I asked Nokia support about this, they said that currently there is no way, but they passed it on to the dev team, maybe they will include the option at some point.

Yes. It's on by default but the June update probably broke something and that's why Gcam isn't working.

You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the ASUS ZenFone 7 performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.

Selfies in good to moderately low light are very good. Sadly there is not option to un-mirror the image, so you will always end up with your mirror image (something I do not appreciate). Detail is very good and beautification can be turned off completely. In very low light colors are rather muted. Flash images have a very cold color temperature. This is not state of the art, where good camera software usually can compensate for that and give nice, natural image even with LED flash.

Interestingly this option is not available on my device. I did all available updates.
Selfie should be better with a gcam port.
Gcam is overated big time.. Many missing features in gcam that is exclusive to this phone. for example you cant choose the 120hz or 60hz or wideangle or even the macro lens in the video or pic mode on Gcam.. The factory app just gives you all those best options..
HOWEVER
In low light or dim light I find the factory camera will often try to focus in and out every second or 2 and makes the video look like its being shaked around. When using Gcam it wont do that. So be sure to turn on a light or maybe try using manual mode which does a very good job but takes some time to fine tune.
Other than that focus issue in low light this camera is the best I ever seen. very impressive.. Video is super smooth. Choose H.265 to get the best quality and lower memory card usage..
