[Q] Why Night Shooting Sucks? - HTC Desire S

At night i often get bad quality when shooting. No matter what resolution. However with flash quality gets better. Without flash you can see distorted picture.
See this album
Upper picture is with flash and below picture is without flash.
Is this with all Android based devices or with iPhone too?

best camera?

which rom have the camera for the best quality picture (i wanna take picture of my newborn son everyday but camera quality of v6.1 is so poor)?
the camera quality is going to be poor. 1.3mpx (duh)
to make it auto adjust for lighting: change the refresh rate to 50-60Htz. then it wil work better in dark lighting. That usualy fixes the issues most people have.
Some roms have camera 3.3 ... there is an issue I noticed with that package: when you change the setting to "superfine" from the original setting the quality gets worse. ... sometimes.
Change the refresh rate and see if that works, but dont bother trying to switch it to anything more than 3.1mpx (1024x768) all it will do is make the picture encode larger with awful quality.

stock video camera vs lgcamcorder on Note

I've been trying to get better performance out of the stock video camera and here are my observations.
Stock video camera
Pretty good at default settings but cannot seem to set focus point manually
Cannot do macro video because of this
Very smooth recording, no dropped frames
Lgcamcorder
Video looks brighter than stock camera
Can set focus point by touching a point on the screen
Problem is the focus hunting doesn't stop, it focuses nice and sharp, and then drops the focus and keeps repeating this cycle endlessly.
Jerky, seems to halt for 2 seconds every so often
Does anyone know if the stock video camera can do macro video at all? How do we get it to work?
I had problems with LGCAMERA for my past phones. Though it has many options, there were times after having recorded a video, it would just not save the file and I was very frustrated by this as I lost some important videos!
yes, it looks good, but the focus hunting just never stops! Anyone had any luck with it?
I use lgcamera and set the focus mode to macro and have no problems with focus hunting.

How to turn off, (or looking for a video app that doesn't do) image stabilization

Any and every video camera app I tried has some sort of built in image stabilization and this makes any footage useless for me. Corner warping and distortion is very visible a lot of times.
Yes this same problem also with me, AS the time we need the images the distortion occurs and image get vanished.
Change your shot mode to auto, but I believe your pictures will no longer be as HD as they could be but should be fine just fine.

Video recording on stock camera app and gcam

Hello all,
I have a few questions concerning the quality of video recording on stock and gcam app. Kinda disappointed about the quality, and you maybe able to tell me if it's normal or if I could fix it (first of all, sorry for my english, not my mother tongue).
I found that in 1080 30 fps, outdoor videos, the details are really poor, even with sufficient light. It seems to be "grainy" (1st link below).
Inside videos with low light (my place around 10pm with 1 ceiling light on) are very blurry, especially on the corners. The autofocus is messy (not focusing, or hardly in automatic mode, I have to go through manuel focusing, and it's not always working).
When I switch to 1080p 60 fps, the video is much darker, is that normal ? (I heard it is).
I'm running the beta 6, with the latest gcam port app.
The links I provide are google photos updates.
Do you think it's normal, or the OP6 I own has an hardware issue ?
Thanks

Video Problem

Hi, i have been watching a lot of videos in reviews and youtube and i have noticed a common problem in video recording, like some frame dropping. You can check in this video with the train movement.

(i can't share the full link, please put the http an 3w first)
Is any way to fix it?
Thanks!
Hi,
yes it is.. Disabling EIS helps a lot, but mostly it works without often frame drops using FilmicPro or Open Camera ( this is most stable for video recording).
About fix for a stock camera, I would not put many hopes for it, even Mi 10 Pro with SD 865 does video with stutters. I believe this most of software problem.
Similar to what Dom said. I don't think it's frame drop, it looks like the image EIS stabilisation is getting confused with the scene moving at different speeds. It's probably trying to track train motion and floor motion.
Try again with image stabilisaion disabled. If you need steady footage maybe see if your video editor handles it better.
Also in the low light scenes the EIS gives footage a weird ghosting effect (even the GoPro7 does it).
I wish there was an auto disable EIS in low light option
Shouldnt the OIS help? So its not completely unstabillized? That should work for video as well and maybe evene better?

OIS is always on and cannot be turned off as it's a physical part of the camera sensor. However the OIS level of stabilisation is subtle compared to EIS
