Question about Sensation's camera/sensor. - HTC Sensation

http://i.imgur.com/Dh964.jpg
This pic is taken with a stock camera. It doesnt matter which White Balance I chose, the camera can never correct the green light. The lights and objects on windows on the right building have correct colors.

This pic is taken with Camera360 app at max ISO (1600) with flashlight constantly on. I noticed that the app flushes the photo with some red (already visible through the phone before pressing the shutter) and now the walls shows the correct color but the windows/curtains and the sky(the sky is the least of my worries) are overflushed with red. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
I know that camera phones are basically point and shoot and I shouldnt expect too much of it under low light conditions but I have a photo that shows rows of green lit light posts and I am not pleased
What should I do to fix this?

[Q] Camera flash light LED behaviour ?

Hi,
I was wondering if this is normal on my Touch PRO.
When I launch "Camera" app, go to settings and tap "Flash Light", the LED turns on and lights constantly until I tap it again to disable.
Accoring to manual (and common sense) it should allow the LED to make a high powered burst when shooting photo, and not just light constantly (I thought that 'torch' apps are for that).
In few words: My Touch PRO "flash light" LED works like a torch, not like flash.
Do you get this behaviour ?
Is it normal for a LED-enabled camera phone ?
Cheers
dont have a pro yet, but from what Ive read and seen on reviews its supposed to do that. It stays on then flashes when you take a picture. No need for a torch application..
hi
I get the same, when you turn the flash on the light comes on, when you take a pic it flashes gos out for 2-3 sec then turns back on.
This is normal behaviour. It was on my Hermes as well. The LED is enabled, but not at "full" extend. The light is meant so that the camera can focus when you are taking a photo in a dark environment. At the moment you make the actual photo, the LED lights up brighter for a second.
This behavior is necessary for taking pictures. The camera app assumes that if you turn on the flash, the ambient light level is low.
The flash then lights up at a medium level to help you frame the shot on the screen (that would otherwise be too dark or too noisy to see anything).
Finally, once you actually take the picture it flashes at full power to allow for a decent exposure.
I hope it helps.
Does exist any shortcut or program to turn on the flash light without starting up the Camera app for using it as a torch?
at the moment, no.
The usual suspect, VJCandela, doesn't seem to work with the Raphael just yet.

all setting are default
Try changing the white balance to match the lighting in the room. Bathrooms have very low light, and auto white balance can only adjust based on what the camera sensor is seeing. In a dimmer room that's all one color, it's going to be very hard to get the correct color temp.
Auto makes my the room I'm in now more yellow/orangish than it truely is. Picking a good white balance setting is the only real way to avoid this on any digital camera.

thanks alot , i was playing with settings and i had to change exposure contrast and white balance to match ,this is the first time i had to do this with a phone ,usually the other phones i had would match it automatic
If you're taking a lot of photos in the same space/lighting conditions, it's well worth the 20 seconds to select a few settings for that scene. Definitely choose WB, set ISO to 100 on sunny days outside, etc.
If you're using it for quick snapshops, facebook photos or MMS, Auto is generally good enough.

Taking phots in Low light conditions

When taking pictures in low light conditions pictures come out cmpletely black. Here is what happens:
Under lowlight condition + Flash + everything auto / default
1. Camera lights up flash
2. Picture shows up in the screen for a second with bright colors
3. Picture gets written to the memory
4. When viewing the picture is totally blacked out (underdeveloped)
When taking pictures in normal light conditions they come out ver good....
Any clue?

Blue Tint Pictures with Flash

I have a problem with the pictures taken with flash active, sometimes the pictures have a blue tint.

I notice that also. I admittedly haven't taken many pics with this phone but the other day I shoot a picture of the snow outside. It had a definite blue cast. I haven't had a chance to explore further. BTW, it was set on auto HDR.

I can not reproduce the problem, but I can describe the conditions under which the photo came out with a blue tint:
A) INTERIOR - 2 people full figure, white background of back-wall. On the right, out of the scene, the light of a table lamp (light bulb)
B) INTERIOR - Height of the table, to a person standing behind the table, white tablecloth, a wall of white background and halogen lights on the wall
Flash Always ON and HDR auto
It seems to be a problem with the automatic HDR. In case of Blue tint, try turning it off, seems to fix the problem!!!

Any tips to in low-light shooting?

I find the when I shoot in Superior Auto in low-light, many times there appear a violet / bluish haze on the left side (no flash fired). I find that switching to Night Portrait or Night Mode is too much of a hassle, ESPECIALLY when the conditions constantly change like going to a different place that's brightly lit or going inside a restaurant. Also, these modes tend to have motion blur.
Now I'm thinking of Manual Mode but basically got the same results as Superior Auto (probably. I'm just not good at tinkering with the settings).
Any tips?
Thanks!

In night conditions only use switching ISO settings,exposure and white balance.
For examle,when it has blueish scene turn the white change white balance to one in the midle if the list,and you will got more reallity look of scene you photographing.Also ISO settings dont go over 800 and you can sometimes change exposure ti minus to get a less noise.Try with those settings and you can get ok images.
