Hi guys,
I was recently making a video using the Xperia Play Camera & indoor it was lacking contrast & was a challenge to see what was going on as it was too dark
So like i said, can someone mod the stock camera app to have the options to change brightness, contrast & all these other standard effects?
Thanks in advance

Yup I want to know too
When taking pictures you can change the contrast, why not video though

Hello Guys, Im new to this forum with N number of Qns , because Im just a beginner of the smart phone users. I have got a new SE Xperia x10 and was very excited to capture the pictures using 8.1M camera.. But unfortunately the quality of the pictures that I have taken so far made me disappoint, still the HD video recording looks good. My question here is when the Video quality is good, how can the image quality be poor that we use the same camera for both the purpose. Also, is there any fix available to improve the camera quality, because i strongly believe that its not a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance
You should have put this in the Q&A section for starters.
The X10 camera quality is far from crap. First thing is turn off image stabilzer if you have it on. I find auto focus to be crap compared to infinity focus, unless your shooting a macro shot.
Use EV control!!! Its your best friend and best feature of the camera....picture quality is 10 times better.
Keep a steady hand when shooting!!!
Lower your EV control (+/-) to about -0.3 to -0.7 when shooting inside or low light and lower it to about -1 when outside on a bright sunny day. Youll be surprised how well the camera actually performs!
Hope this helps

May be a stupid question, bust what is EV controller , I could see a +/- symbol for adjusting the brightness and the scale is from -2 to +2

Its Exposure Value. And makes a massive difference in your pictures when you use it.

can i control ev values from the camera of a rom (cyanogen mod 6.1.3)? i'm driving crazy whithout having it, my pics looks like crap without controling ev values.
I can't find ev control options either but using CM6 I have very good picture quality.

EV control is only available on the stock 2.1 camera app.

Ok tnanks anyway
x10 camera
I find that the picture quality I get when I use Vignette is much much better than the quality I get using the stock camera. I don't know if its the settings I'm using on the stock software but the difference is quite markable.
So try Vignette.
i m usin vignette when i wanna use flash in macros... other wise stock app with ev control and without antishake is just good...
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.?

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.

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.

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.

You may increase sensors sensitivity in settings. Rotation angle is limited to 15 degrees to avoid unintuitive rotations.

Well, thanks for advice, i'll make an option to enable full 360 rotation by gyro. I just limited it to 15 degrees right now, because it looked a bit unintuitive, thought.
Is there anybody who liked the app and want to give me feedback?
Added video to the main post. Enjoy!
Here check this out ...i would love this but with a 360 pic

If you're on 2.17, you can try downgrading to 1.36. Older firmware is way sharper

Hey Bro!!
Sony Is Known For Sound And Camera!!!
And Sony Advertised This Mobile By Saying Camera For Experts!!
Thus, It Confirms That Camera Issues Are Not Hardware Issues But Software Ones!!!
So, Wait For The Updates!!!
Sony Has Improved Their Update Services!!!
So Just Wait!!
STOP THIS!
I am no camera freak and I didn't noticed any difference between 2.17 and 1.36.I really believe that 2.17 is better due to video not lagging in low light(even if there was a fix on 1.36,it's more comforting this way).I didn't noticed any differences between photos and I don't waste my time looking for the issues.The only things that annoys me are low light photos & video "flashing" in some specific light conditions.But I accepted it,I know I can't do **** about it and I'm waiting for devs to create other android platform based roms or Sony to update our phone and hope it will get better.
So,stop this.The camera is the way it is and some settings won't do any magic and bang,the camera will work as you wish.
