Hey guys/gals,
I would like to ask someone or even a couple of you if you could do me a quick favor.
The HTC Thunderbolt has an 8mp camera. I would like someone, to put the camera on its best possible settings, highest quality in everything, with good lighting, and snap a picture.
You can even post it for me if you wish. All im looking for is the file size in which your picture is after it has been saved.
Im just doing a quick study on the 8mp camera phones available, and would like your help....and you help is very appreciated!
Thanks!!!
it is 1.1 MB
Mine ranged from about 1.4 to about 2.8 MB. HTH

Just a little insight I actually find that the thunderbolt has a great camera. My 5 mp camera on my Droid 2 was pretty bad. The pictures were grainy and usually not even worth taking. On this I find myself taking pictures all of the time.

Does the thunderbolt stock camera come with EV+/- control?

Just a heads up, file size will increase with iso.

Using the EV+/- control properly will greatly increase the quality of your photos. I have sample shots if your interested...not from your phones, but the feature would work the same on any camera.

The pictures I'm taking of all the cicadas hatching is very clear. Or maybe it is the screen.

+1, Not only does it take very clear pictures (for a phone), but the "shutter" is much faster, and can handle motion much better than my previous phones.
The camera was definitely a pleasant surprise to me.
I also much prefer NOT having a physical camera button, since I would hit it accidentally on occasion. The virtual button is nicely positioned.
Hi all -
I'm using the latest nightly of Cyanogen 7, but this issue has been present for a few months now. I keep hoping the latest nightly will fix it, but I'm starting to worry that it's a hardware issue.
It's gritty and just very low quality overall. Is this a known issue? Or did my camera get messed up somehow.
Thanks for the help!
It isn't letting me post a link to the image, but I can shoot you a link if you're willing to help.
Try and install MIUI camera onto it.

I tried the MIUI camera, still seems pretty grainy
Oh how long have that been happening?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Just looked back to a picture I took at the end of February and its pretty grainy. It seems to have been getting worse and worse though.
Can you post a picture?

If your pics are grainy in low light, then that is normal. The camera in this phone is not the greatest in low light situations. If outdoor/brightly lit pics are grainy, then something is probably wrong with your camera sensor.
alright and have you tried a different ROM and see if that worked?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Well I started with Revolution (with Sense) and then moved to Cyanogen. I checked photos back to when I probably had Rev and they were still grainy.
I just checked some of the outdoor photos I've taken. The ones where there's ample light turn out pretty well, but when its a bit overcast or in the woods it's still pretty crappy.
Guess I just have to deal with it.
Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it.
I would suggest playing around with the White balance, ISO, and metering mode. I've been able to improve the low light quality of most of my pictures.
currently using MIUI Camera with nice results. might want to try using another camera app like camera360

Im guessing it might have something to do with the flash messing with the stereoscopic effect...it is located right between the two lenses. I'm with you, its annoying that I can't use the 3d camera in the dark. Have you tried increasing the exposure? It might help with the darkness bit I have a feeling it wont fix the image noise issue.

Ok thanks it mit e look weird with 2 lots of shadows but isn't there a place to request developers to make apps. If I could make an app I would make the 3d camera with flash

don't think that is the case cause evo 3d also has the flash between the lenses and it can be used with 3d pics without messing with the stereoscopic effect...
Yeah the flash wont mess with the stereoscopy any more than the lightbulb lighting your room does. Its just not an option to use it in the current app which is stupid as hell if you ask me.

Which makes me wanna ask... Is there a way we can use evo3d's cammera app?
i recently downloaded hdr camera+ and found it to be really great compared to stock camera app. it gives pictures with more saturated colors and more contrast while earlier they used to be dull.
anyone else using this app or some other camera app that's really useful.?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
few apps
u might (must) know abt these ...
paper camera, Instagram, ICS camera, camera HD
try these if u hvn't
i've used these except for 'camera hd' (which i couldn't find on google play). used ics camera few months back and found it to be slightly better than stock. didn't use instagram more than 2-3 times. and paper camera is a diff. kind of app altogether, though it's really a good one. can u give me link to camera hd.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I bought it about 4 months ago....its the only camera I use on phone. This thing makes the pic stand out so much more than any other app. I love it.

sorry
Awesome app..photos are really vivid now..but i am not getting the full 8MP resolution..varies between 7.6 to 7.9..why this happens??
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
Ones I've looked at:
ProCapture & Camera Zoom FX - Straightforward, some extra customazation in the form of exposure settings in the former and effects in the latter
Camera FV-5 - The closest you'll get to a DSLR in terms of manual settings
Night Camera - Optimized for low light shots
HDR camera - The title says it all
Camera Streak - Lightpainting!
Fast Burst Camera - Shoot tens of exposure per seconds, great for action/sports
Haven't tried half of those yet though :laugh:
I have camera zoomFX and its great. My pics have the same amount of detail as my friends GS2

I don't know if it's just me or is it difficult to take a nice & clear photo with the Charge? I have young girls and try to capture special moments, they end up blurry.
Any recommendations for an application/settings?

wait till they get older.... j/k
I believe it's more of a hardware thing rather than an app. the shutter speed is only so fast - and even with some apps that take quick bursts, it can still be blurry.
that being said, I have found that Camera ICS (thanks Jihad Squad) to be the best for me. if your phone is rooted, then installing droidwall to block internet on this app will remove the ads.

I haven't tried Camera ICS yet, but in trying to find a camera alternative, I tried many including Camera360 and a bunch of others. But I found stock to be the best (gonna try Camera ICS after this post). It has many good features and options compared to aftermarket. My settings are as follows:
Outdoor visibility: Unchecked
Focus mode: Auto focus
Scene mode: None
Timer: Off
Resolution: 2560x1920
White balance: Auto
Effects: Normal
ISO: Auto
Metering: Matrix
Anti-Shake: Checked
Auto contrast: Checked
Blink detection: Checked
Image quality: Superfine
Guidelines: Checked
Review: Unchecked
Shutter sound: Off
GPS Tag: Unchecked
IMO, the Guidelines and Anti-Shake options are the money options for the stock camera for taking decent pics.
^^^^ These settings and the stock camera are the best above all camera apps I've tried. Thanks!

Are you tapping the screen on the spot you want to focus before you snap? I always get well focused pics.
