Take it like this.... you can change the camera hardware with other devices camera hardware,,, but i think it won't work due to driver issue... unless you can get the camera drivers to work with UNI.... Well ENIGMA should know more about the hardware side than us... and she can give more clarification on this matter

Camera can be improved by replacing (as mentioned above, which will require updating drivers too) or via software interpolation (not great)

you can use Lomo Camera
Apparently if you use the lens from a laser pen over the lens of the camera you can improve the image quality.

Camera features are missing !!!!

Hi everybody

Try updating phone software to 2.17
It should fix all the camera problems.

It seems that you are opening camera from lock screen!
Open it from App drawer, you will see all options!
XL's 8MP camera gives average performance.
In good light condition, photos are not that sharp as 8mp cameras.
In low light photo comes grainy, low detailed.
Its flash is very bright
It's HDR mode is awesome.
But no 1080p recording in stock ROM
Video performance is poor in 1.31 and 1.36 firmwares but good in 2.17 (which is latest.)
Also front camera captures gray-scale photos in 1.31 and 1.36 firmwares which is fixed in 2.17

[Q] Is only my camera is faulty??

Hi! I bought MM Canvas a117 yesterday from flipkart for Rs. 12000/- . Everything else is fine but the camera pictures are very noisy. I am attaching two photos. Can you please check and tell that if only my handset is faulty or all a117 have same issue. I have 30 days replacement warranty from flipkart. Thanks in advance. It will be highly appreciable if you can attach a few photographs taken from your Handset.

The camera actually captures a lot of noise under low light condition and certain regular conditions.
Pictures come good under good lighting conditions..
Camera is a bit bad actually, also the flash doesn't sync with the captured image frame and high intensity of led light gets captures in the image. :/

Thanks for information. The camera only works outdoor. My previous phone S Duos took great pictures at 5 mp. That was also clumsy phone except camera.

I tried both Camera JB+ and Snapit camera. They have same issues. But I think that camera zoom fx is better, because I dont zoom images to the level they pixelize.
Should I get replace this mobile and get any mobile in the range of Rs. 12000/-??

If the camera issue concers you so much, then sell your mobile and buy a moto g.

Moto g has only 5 mp camera. I am trying to replace the handset. I can also try to replace it with other handset. If you have any other handset in mind, suggestion is welcome.

[Q] Camera quality

I don't like the camera of XL. The UI doesn't look attractive, and the picture quality is also average. The colors look dull and the autofocus doesn't work even when the square turns blue.
So my question is can I improve my camera quality by using some other camera app, like samsung's. I know it's hardware but I believe that software plays an equal part.
plus will there be any difference if I use a custom rom that is unofficial. Like all the kitkat roms for XL.
And please don't suggest to change some settings. They hardly make an impact.

Yes, it's software issue. You can check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-post-best-camera-shots-t2333949/page28..we have some example and discussion about it..
The focus is horrible for stock..
You can install 3rd party paid app call snapcam or kitkat camera that support jb..
okay
so if it's the software, isn't it possible to port cameras of other devices to XL alongwith their libs or algorithms.
Because I believe that third party cameras will use the same libs and therefore same results.

It depend on what camera you're installed..some of them have their own lib that doesn't intergrated with sony's lib..
You just have to checked them

Use snap camera. It's better than stock and there's no autofocus issue. You can manually change some settings to get the perfect picture.

Hello I checked snap camera it really looks the most customizable camera I've tried
The focus seams to work fine but images still grainy, however I must experiment more with settings
I'll wanted to upload some comparison photos but forum has a small image limit
I found this quite useful too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/superior-auto-mode-xperia-lcamera-t2597255
And in another post someone posted some image quality improvements
Does this apply to the latest official update or only to the older firmware mentioned?

The above threads are useful for stock camera only. If you are planning to use the snap camera then no need for these.
Also the noise is a hardware issue too and not just software. I have tried the same app on two different devices and thus got different results.
Of course you cannot expect a very good quality from this phone but it's good
I am on the latest stock firmware and the picture quality of stock camera is good, the only reason I use snap cam is the autofocus issue. Otherwise some manual tweaks and you get the best photos from your stock camera.
And you can upload the images to any image hosting site and embed here.

Doesn't make a HUGE impact. It's the hardware I told you. Stop expecting 'Stunning' pictures from xperia L. Use snap cam or camera 360 for appropriately focused pictures.

So my question should be what is the best results using other apps except stock cam for better hardware use?
Does the kitkat camera app on latest stock rom works like it does on the kitkat rom?
Tried snap cam & camera 360 (quite improved since the last time I tried it with my samsung galaxy core)
Still haven't shot a correct macro photo, It is insane that a photography specialized smartphone does not have a macro mode

How could you even expect macro from a mid budget phone. I already told you that DO NOT expect so much from this camera.
These apps already draw the maximum output from the hardware and there can't be any more improvement.
These two apps I told are the best that I have found so far. So use these apps and search foor some better if you want.

even older and cheeper models can shot at macro mode
I managed to do this with my old Sony Ericsson K550 that was a cyber-shot model
and also with my 5 mp samsung galaxy core so yes I except a smarphone with 8mp camera promoted as a smartphone for photograph to have at least the same if not better results with macro mode (if there was that mode to start with)

Samsung phones have undoubtedly pretty good cameras. But the worst part of Xperia L is the camera. It can't even closer click proper photos so there's no chance of macro.
And you can get the macro mode in some custom camera apps but won't give you extraordinary results.
Hit thanks if it helped
has anyone tried this for macro photos :

Z3 Camera Shooting Tips

Hello everyone, I must say this is one beautiful piece of hardware. I updated from an M7 which I was underwhelmed with the camera.
With this phone I am wondering what the optimal ways to shoot pictures is.
I.e. 20mp vs the auto 8mp? What is the difference? I know there is some algorithm re the 8mp auto setting but not the 20.
I also noticed that some of my pictures were quite soft on auto, has anyone else experienced this?
I have yet to find a guide online which truly discusses the best ways to take advantage of this camera so please feel free to chime in.
THank you!
Use 8MP the extra will compensate for zoom. 20MP pics are slightly darker. Use manual mode and specify ISO yourself for better pics. Auto on this phone can be horrible sometimes/many.

Thank you.
Yes I will use manual.
I am surprised at how soft the post processing is on full auto. I'm no fan of ios but I must admit that the iPhone camera is very nice.

20MP is a complete waste of time and storage space. You can take an 8MP and scale it up to 20MP and you wouldn't notice the difference from the true 20MP photo (I tried it).
The best Z3 camera shooting tip I can give you is - don't take photos of trees!
Duplicate.
Does anyone else notice, however, a softening of the pictures, particularly in full auto?
For example, look at this picture, of my daughter. Thanks.

Yes, its Sony's software processing, hopefully it will be fixed in the next update.
Is an update to fix the camera possible? It's been using the same sensor since the Z1 so how come Sony has fixed it?

It is possible, hopefully with RAW processing. This is proven that software can improve quality because I have tried using Sony camera vs. Google camera app at the same MP, and it shows. You might want to check through this thread for camera test photos and great discussions. Moderators would not want this to be another thread like that. :]
