Panoramic Shots With Raphael

Anybody use the Panorama function yet? Pretty awesome if you ask me... I took this shot early morning, so the lighting was hard to deal with (plus I left it on auto, didn't turn it to daytime)... But you get the idea of how it really does mesh the 3 pictures very well.

New Touch Pro owners, I encourage you to test out this new feature and post some pictures up here. I'd be curious to see what people can be creative with.

That pic looks awesome for a phone, espcially being a panoramic shot. I cannot wait until I can order my Touch Pro on 29th August from Vodafone UK!
Thanks

Wow
Can you post up some more different shots and a few test video samples? Just ordered mine - I hope the video quality is good enough via the tv-out.

You can't tell the quality of the video AT ALL because photobucket had to compress/convert it so much...

Looks a hell of a lot better than that on the device, needless to say. Also, the picture quality is on "Normal", it has a "Fine" and "Super Fine" mode but I'm not shooting for gold here so whatever.

From my Tilt actually but I do love the Pano mode nonetheless. I think this was a 6 shotter.

:O 6 shotter? I don't think you can go beyond 3 with the touch pro... Did the tilt come with that?
Nevermind, found the setting... WOW that's cool. The more I use this phone, the more impressed I become.

I think by default the 6 shotter only does 1mpxl but you can edit the Reg to allow 3mpxl 6shotter pano's. Essentially having an 18mpxl shot!

Heres a reg tweak from the Development and Hacking forum

Nice, guys... just makes me want this phone even more.. (I'm pretty sure my mind is made up now. was going to be the X1, it just looks a whole load cooler, but the TP is definately the better phone.)
Tell me, if you would, are you having to move the camera as it takes the pics or does the camera itself have some kind of tracking system?

Neither. You take a picture, and it ghosts the right part of it on the left part of your screen... You move the camera to the right a little, match up the ghost image, and take another picture... Etcetcetc. Up to 6 times to lengthen the photo, and it digitally syncs it as well as it can.

Yeah. The kaiser has pretty good digital sync. I don't usually line it up because I don't have enough time to >.> so it's pretty good at finding it by itself

Shots full of trees make it very hard to tell how good it is. Try it across the front of a shopping center, or somewhere where there is a long line of "logical" things, like a long banner with letters / words, for lack of a better example. Or a long row of topless women.

Not really. The resolution is the same for a given focal length. Zooming in will have the same degradation.

Cheers. yeah, I can see a bit of blurring but I suppose it would ultimately decide on what you took a pic of. Nice feature, I think that about swings it for the TP, although.... the N96 can pick up UK digital terrestrial TV, 700 quid is a bit much though, I even baulk at the the price of the TP.
I'd like to see how it handles a more detailed background. you chose a perfect one, the garden, lots of green and the blurring just melts into the background.

Camera - Post your pictures!

I thought the button on the back of the phone was a flash, I guess I was wrong.. I mean, why would HTC put a camera flash in a $600 phone
Anyways, it's too late now, though.. Verizon is sending me my TP2 as a free replacement/upgrade to my Storm, which I've replaced 27 (not an estimate, a real number!) times in 3 months! So, I'll have to live with it either way.
For now, since I don't have mine yet, can someone take some pictures in different conditions (sunny, cloudy, dark, etc) and post them up in the highest resolution? Maybe host them on imageshack.us or something and post the link here if XDA doesn't allow large images?
I'm very interested in seeing how well/poor the camera is without a flash.
Thanks guys!

Anyone? I'd really appreciate it

I've only got one picture I've taken with mine (and kept) so far, but I think you'll find it amusing I happen to be a tech in a VZW store and saw this baby today:

I would love to know how you do these mods? Would they work for the CDMA version?

Hey here is a pic I took with my Touch Pro 2, I am on Sprint so therefor I have the Sprint version.
No modifications to the OS or camera. Pure Touch Pro 2 camera awesomeness:
I am surprised that a cell phone camera can achieve bokeh. It's pretty awesome. You can control many features including an auto iso mode which is neat because it limits to iso 800 so you dont have horridly grainy images. I shot that at iso 100 I believe. You can view the EXIF data for the info. The lens appears to be f/1.0 which would explain the awesome bokeh. It focuses really close.
Other options for taking pictures are the size, panoramic mode (pretty cool I guess), JPEG quality, Image Properties (sharpness, saturation, contrast) and a couple others.

Cam Mods...
I dunno if they'll work on the CDMA model.. but there a few post in the Tweaks listing: LINK
and LINK
also this one has a bunch of Mods; LINK

The 7MP tweak works great, and isn't slow at all!
I tweaked the registry per the tutorial, soft reset the phone, started it back up and snapped 1/3 panorama pics, got to the second one and got a Windows error.. tried again and the phone reset itself. Once it started back up I tried again and it worked great! I've taken 3 panoramic pics now, all were about 2.5-3MB, and I haven't gotten another error.

Here was a picture I took with my TP2 when I saw Taylor Swift on her tour last fall. At the time I had just gotten the phone the day before so this was the Sprint stock rom and I found out a week or so later that it was set to fine and not super fine which may have improved the quality even more... imo though I think the camera takes very nice pictures!

[Q] bad screen and camera quality

hi guys,
I'm an android no0b ... soon fix that problem though.
anyway here is my situation and question:
Does the phones with the 'Bad Screen Issue' take the same quality pics as the ones with the Good screen
I love to take pics... my old nokia 3.15mb cellphone take great shot, I simply love cellphone that take great pics... but
I might be getting a used a mytouch4g (rooted still on froyo) [decent enough price (well as decent as living in Jamaica goes) ]
and from the first day that I saw the the phone I commented "oh i thought it would be nicer... the screen looks so bland... washed out"
the owner didnt even realize that it look bland, and said that its just looks that way , it doesnt affect the camera/pic quality.
I played around with it for a few minutes... my first experience with an android device... I AM IN LOVE WITH ANDROID NOW. but I still could not get around how bland the screen showed..
he only had it for a week before and didnt have much experience with android either.. he got it from someone b4 ... and all he knew is that its rooted.
I really like this device, and checked around online and was shocked to find out about the 'BAD SCREEN ISSUE' , and first i say some comments where persons said that they first say it after the rooted their device and a some1 even said that the unrooted their phone and the issue went away..
but that to this forum and youtube and realized that is a real hardware issue literally a 'BAD SCREEN' most like TFT vs a SuperLcd issue. ( right ?)
I still purchase it from him, and i said the the price is pretty sweet...
i know only know two person who own the mytouch/glacier and I asked them to send me a sample of pics that they took with their phone... just to compare camera quality. In fat hey did n't even know about the BAD screen issue (fortunately for them their devices are ok) ...
I took some pics with the one that i would be getting and I must say I am disappointed ... the pic when send to my pc looks just as washed out and bland as on the phone screen. i seriously doubted that the screen would affect the camera quality.. i may be wrong though.
I am not considering not to buy it... just because of the bright/washed out screen... but it not likely that i'm getting another decent Android phone for any where near this price again.
So guys I'm asking
.1) Does the phones with the 'Bad Screen Issue' take the same quality pics as the ones with the Good screen
.2) (if the forum allows it) some of your guys with the 'bad screen" phones upload your pics so i and have a better judgement of the camera quality. Prolly the camers secsors are determined by th e screen output (?)
.3) If u think that think that unrooting/rerooting will help the camera issue ( yeah unlikey )
4) If updated the android build / ginger bread or cm7 or so would improve the camera quality.
thanks in advance.

sadly I can not answer that question, as:
1) I did not check (dont know how to as yet), I am assuming that it at its default setting
2) the phone is not currently in my possession ( prolly not for the next two days) .
once again thanks

The menu button (second hard button from the left) will bring up settings. Check Resolution. I've noticed that pictures in lower light aren't too great. Remember though, its a phone with a camera. The camera is, at most, second.

The LCD panel and the camera picture quality are not related. The good/bad screens basically refer to the two vendors HTC sourced for the MT4G's LCD, with the good one being the Sony S-LCD and the bad one being manufactured by Sharp. The differences between the screens lie in their contrast, color rendering, and off-axis viewing angles. There are some theories that the differences are not actually caused by the screen, but rather by the digitizer, but unless the digitizer was replaced, the screen and digitizer seem to go hand in hand.
The camera on the MT4G simply isn't that good. Unlike the camera for the Amaze, I've never read of an editable image compression setting for the MT4G's camera, so I'm inclined to believe that one doesn't exist.

judging from the pics that my friend took with their good screen phones.. am leaning to agree with u... its no carl zwiess lens but , i expected better from a 5mp flagship device
hopefully i can adjust the camera setting to suit my needs (crosses fingers)

I had two mytouch.
One good.one bad.
I have to say the cm7 camera from tdj's 12/30/11 cm7 Kang took some great pictures.
I tested every camera option available(alot of basketball/baseball games),and for some reason that Kang was the best as far as cameras.
Should it have been different? I do.t know why! Cant explain it!
Those pictures were crisp and clear.
I sure I posted a pic in that thread to check it for sure.right around new years.
Found the picture.posted it above.
On both phones the camera was super bad.
Thats why thr darkside was the best side.

I was not impressed with the quality of the pictures from the MT4G before it died. The outdoor pictures in daylight still had significant compression artifacts, soft focus, and undersaturation. Not natural saturation. Undersaturation. Blacks weren't black. Indoor pictures with incandescent lighting were just dreadful. Honestly, the picture quality was comparable to my Motorola RAZR2 V9x with an extra three megapixels.

Lol.haha.its a phone.its a 5mp camera.
Not bad for what it is.

Colors from camera are horrible.

The colors are far too over saturated. The resulting photos are not at all accurate. I tried changing white balance, but they problem stayed. Is there some other setting? Is this problem software specific... in other words would a different ROM maybe fix it?

have heard that and may be a little true, i am not a photo buff, so i think they are great

I think the photos are fine. Are you looking at them on a pc?

Yes, could that be the problem? I thought everyone looks at digital photos on PCs. FWIW the color problem persists on various PCs and on the phone itself.

To be honest, I think your photo proves the OP's point. I'm not saying it doesn't look great - it does; however, the colours are way over-saturated, meaning that while it looks nice, it does not look like a real or accurate represenation of the subject.

But unless that plant in the foreground is plugged into an outlet, there's no way that color can be accurate. Does it not look outrageously bright green to you?

Exactly. It looks "nice"... but the colors are way too intense.
Has anyone using a non-stock ROM noticed a difference?

Here's an example. The couch in this picture is a rather subdued maroon color. It does not glow like this in real life.

Yup. I just took a pic to confirm and its very noticeable. This is a big issue.

I find that if you into into the image adjustments and lower the saturation by 1, the colors are more accurate and natural. The photos are from my school and i think that just lowering the saturation it looks more natural

Looks like that does it, nice tip mate.

LOL indeed.
I'm comparing the photos from this to the photos of previous smart phones, like the Nexus One, G2 and several Samsung phones I've owned. All of these took better pictures with more accurate colors. The One S does have some nice features, like HDR and Low Light mode, but if the colors are all wrong, then it doesn't matter.
But it seems this may be lost on you. You're clearly struggling to understand the term 'smart phone'. My suspicion is that you, having little experience with the first half of the term have chosen to ignore it, and this is what has lead you to believe that a smart phone is 'just a damn phone.'

Relax man! Don't get so wound up! It's not the end of the world!

Actually, it's quite the opposite. I am very much aware about the 'smart' bit in 'smartphone' but I just think that no matter how you put it the camera on a 'smartphone' can never be included in the 'smart' bit.
You see, I am actually very much into photography and I do care quite a bit about the photo quality and that is why a phone no matter how 'smart' it is will never cut it for me - the quality is simply not there from the very start. There is no way to get the same quality from the tiny sensor and lens in a 'smart' phone as you would get from an SLR, even one with a 1.6 crop factor, and a proper set of lens.
So basically if you want your photos to look good then don't take them with a phone! While if you just want to point and shoot when you're out with your friends then I don't think the colour accuracy is that much of a big deal - you can always retouch them in Photoshop if you care that much. At the end of the day in a point and shoot situation you probably want to capture the moment and not so much to take an artistic photo.
I may well be wrong since the camera function on my 'smart' phone is one of the things I use the least. In my case, when I want to take good photos I make sure I have my SLR with me - I'd never leave it to the camera on my phone. That is not to say that the phone is not actually very smart indeed, don't get me wrong, it's just that I use all the other functions a hell of a lot more and I think that's what makes it really smart, not the silly camera...

I totally agree man! That's what I did! Mind you, I'm not a Nikon fan though, I like my Canon 550D a lot more!

You guys are totally missing the point. Photography is also a hobby of mine (I happen to be a Nikon fan) but that does not mean I can't expect that my new phone take pictures at least as good as a phone from FIVE years ago.
If the phone's calculator added one and one and came up with thirty three, would you tell me it's not a problem, and that I shouldn't be using a phone for a calculator?

What happened to this thread--
I will agree if the photos are VERY important, a phone may not be the way to go or take some photos before buying
On the other hand no need to lambast anyone
For this old man--I can only hope if someone takes a pic of me with my phone, it enhances me as well as it does the other photos it takes--

iPhone 5 vs GS3 camera comparison

Just put this together on the Macrumors board. Even they seem to agree
iPhone 5 pictures will always be first in the series:
In these pictures you can see the iPhone 5s purple flare at the top. No matter how I tried to take the picture, it was always there. In a room with a lot of lights, its just going to happen sadly. The GS3 performed better here and more accurately.

Next up - Tennis ball. The tennis ball is not new, however, judging by the iPhone 5 picture, Apple wants to make old objects new again. Also, the counter top I am taking these on has a purpleish tint to it, so keep that in mind:
Anyone up for some coffee? The letters on dunkin should be a darker shade or orange to your eyes.. lets see how they did:
Next up - same ball, with flash:
Last but not least - a set of 2 outdoor pictures
So what do you think?? Which one is better to you?

Also a side note on the outdoors pictures - Both sets were taken at the same distance. The GS3 appears to get more in the picture than the iPhone... maybe its my eyes playing tricks on me - neither phone's zoom settings were touched.

Maybe the iphone is set to like 28mm while the S3 at 24mm (when compared on 35mm?)

I don't get how you guys are getting decent shots with the GS3. My pictures are just awful and almost always blurry in identical situations that my Rezound and iPhone are able to take excellent photos. I really hate the camera on this phone.

Maybe you dont have a steady hand? Turn anti-shake on?

Make sure the camera lens cover isn't smudged. If mine is, pictures look terrible, but if I wipe it off with my shirt and then take picture, it looks so much better.

Maybe. But it doesn't happen with any other camera, if that's the problem my hands would be shaky no matter what.
Quick and dirty comparison I did just now.
GS3:
Rezound:
iPhone 4

I love the pics on mine..Here is a sample of my lake house view from the back deck:
As you see it takes great pics..

My S3 takes both good and bad pictures. If I am holding it in just my hands, it usually takes not so good pictures. But when I us4 something solid to prop it against, it takes great pictures. But, that is the least of my gripes with this thing.
I just flashed the latest ROM five minuets ago and am finally getting thirty hours of battery time! This is sick!!

I take some okay pics
Gs3

Nice picture and interesting landscaping - curious about the choice of what appears to be a birdbath in the center: that green expanse to the lake might appear even more like a welcoming path or inviting runway there without the visual breakup, I figure.

Honestly I think the iPhone 5 takes better pictures.
I have 2 lines on my plan...mine with my GS3 and the other person on my plan has an iPhone 5. I did my own comparison tests and found the iPhone 5 camera to be better every time. I love my GS3 and the camera is alright but... nothing beats my DSLR.

The S3 also seems to be really sensitive with shaky hands compared to my old Apple. This can easily cause blurrier pictures. Also, another thing is phone covers can really alter the flash...... I had to learn this this the hard way.

Good stuff here... Honestly to me both seem to be amazing cameras but it's nice to see there are significant differences. Maybe I'm bias

One thing I noticed with the iPhone is it gets surrounding detail a bit better, but its not as focused. On the iPhone I can focus on someone 15 feet away, but still read a paper that is in the photo just under the camera. On the GS3 it appears to overexpose it, and makes it illegible. Ill do a bit more testing, but it might only be an issue with white paper

I'm impressed with the macro on the S3

I think the iphone is always easier to take good pics with (for a phone anyway) for some reason.
You can hand an iphone to anybody, leave everything in the auto mode & most of their pics will be fine.
As far as the DSLR comment, I agree 100%, I am a pro photographer & I use a *Canon EOS 1D Mark 2/with all L lens* all day at work.

yeah my GS3 doesn't take pics nearly as well as my rezound......but thank god it's better than that terrible, awful nexus camera. *shudders*

Mine does good panos

Your focus is on your keys that's why only your keys look clear and everything else is blurry. Try focusing it something else, like the middle of the screen. Auto focus does that to me sometimes. Nothing a good finger poke on the screen doesn't fix.
