Here is another thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728482
It doesn't install on our stock firmware, because we didn't get it with Sony's Smart Social Camera. Maybe this will work when you flash that to your phone first.

Bizzare Sony quoted this for the Xperia L
The camera experts’ camera phone
If camera engineers made a smartphone, what smartphone would they make? The answer is Xperia L, the Android mobile designed with Sony’s leading camera expertise.

Yet we don't get this app or an update to 4.3. Just the social camera would be fine.

Sony should update the info for Xperia M
"If camera engineers made a smartphone, what smartphone would they make? The answer is not the Xperia M, the Android mobile designed without Sony’s leading camera expertise."
Sony say, Let's update it to 4.3 and give it a social camera!
Whereas the actual Xperia with a camera designed by Sony’s leading camera expertise gets 4.2 and no social camera. Honestly the focus and lag is rubbish. My iPhone 4 is better and that's years older.
Thanks Sony!
The focus is much better in Xperia L but Sony camera software is really bad. GO TO Facebook page of xperia l, a person merged libraries of xperia m in L and he have got amazing results

Have you used an iPhone 4? Basically it focuses and when you press the shutter, the photo is taken, no blur.
The Xperia L, focuses, looks great, you press the shutter and the phone refocuses, so really great if you take photos of something that is stationary (building, landscape) but useless for anything which moves slightly.
I have a 17 month old boy and it's nearly impossible to take photos blur free, with the iPhone, nearly every photo is perfect. I will post one from each so you can compare. I got the xperia L to replace the iPhone 4. Unless Sony do something with the software, it's going on eBay.

The focus of the XL is a problem. Touch to focus works, but press the shutter and it refocuses. It takes me several tries to get the actual focus I want. This is more apparent when trying to shoot on macro or close moving objects.
I really don't know what's wrong with Sony's software team.
Honestly it's useless as it is.
The annoying this is, Exmor-R, Exmor-RS sensors are in iPhone, Samsung phones and they take amazing photos but the actually Sony phones suck. Definitely a software issue as using the google camera app the camera focuses and take a photo (rather than refocusing).
Well said my brother

It won't install on our XL. Its an addon for sony smart camera and will be available for those mobiles which got the smart camera app. Thank you sony for leaving us and fooling us. I think this might be my last sony smartphone. You are worst at customer support. Even XM has got 4.3 and smart camera app but we with 8mp camera are left alone and no sign of update.
Really annoying sony.

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.

This app taken from Lenovo smartphone and so many xperia Z owners using it, all the people saying that it give noise free images.
Please install this app in xperia z1 and check the quality of pictures and share your reviews here
by doing this we will finally come to know that why there is noise in the xperia Z1 pictures. if noise is still there then it is the hardware camera problem
if noise is not appear then it will be the software issue.
This will helpful for all the people who want to purchase xperia z1, and for those also who already have it......
Note This app have 13 MP high resolution so you can not take 20 MP pictures from it, Try to take pictures in 8 MP with 16:9 and 4:3 ratios
All the functions from this app may be not fully functional in Xperia Z1
Download links
V3.5.5 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2rIgSq3i4H8TzBLakNYNEZWc3c/edit
If app will not work from uper links then try these version of apps

What's the difference between using this rather than any other 3rd party app such as camera360, camera zoom fx etc?

Third party app like ( Lenovo , zoom fx ) have there own libs and other picture taking tools
if software of the app is not build properly then we get lags in output result. Xperia Z stock camera app gives noise in pictures because its camera app not make perfect
Lenovo super camera app is very famous now, because by using this app we get very sharp and noise free images
So by using Lenovo camera app we will finally come to know that the noise is still there or not
if noise is still there then it is the hardware camera problem
if noise is not appear then it will be the software issue.
doesn't hurt to try i suppose, gonna give this a go and see what its like in comparison.
Edit: so I keep getting an error when I try to start the app, saying camera is in use, turn off the other camera programs before using.
So I tried a task manager and killed camera but it hasn't helped, any ideas?
P.s. I think root isn't working right since I switched to superuser from vroot

I have tried taking couple of pictures but I can't really tell the difference. Some picture the stock app took it slightly better and some this app took it slightly better (I think it has to do with my hand shaking sometimes and not an app is better than the other)
Right now I am using LGCamera to take videos and it clealry is able to capture videos with 25mbit/s on 60fps without any hickup whatsoever!
Pictures look slighty better too.
So you should definitely check it out

XL is very good phone ,i have it around 2 months and i can say it's great for playing games.Asphalt 8 works on high ,but the camera qualitity isn't satisfacting me.Photos woth good light are really nice ,but on low light they isn't that great. Sometimes on my router wi-fi si disconnecting for 3-5 sec and then it connect ,but this does not happen often. I hope sony relase a bugfix update for us ,thats all from me ,hope this can little help. btw the new fifa 14 works too without lags
Well, here it goes: Xperia L is the best mid-range phone available. Despite its annoying issues, such as low sensitivity touch and camera issues, it rocks. It flies with the Snapdragon processor and the Adreno 305 GPU. However, if you're looking for custom ROMs, you better look for another phone, since we haven't got developers attention yet. So, it certainly is a nice phone, but it has it pros and cons. Hope this helps.

imo, i'd say either spend a bit more & go for Xperia SP.
OR
wait for Xperia C.
btw..Xperia L has a serious bug regarding its internal storage ( apparently, it could be solved by rooting, not sure though.. )

For me it's not,after rooting there in no problem.He can go for sp if he have more money ,but don't buy xperia c it is quadcore but inside the phone is a mediatek,which is ****ty cpu and have low development and support.If he you want to save some mony he should buy xperia m ,xperia l,but he didn't, better go for a nexus 4 than a sp.Xperia L for me is enough fast

The Reason Album is slow on our devices is simple... It was made for phones with stronger processors. The Album app on my SP and V open real quick in contrast to my Xperia J that is why it is "slow"
