Hello everyone. I keep reading on various reviews that Xperia Z3 gives worse front camera photos than iPhone 6, which has 1.2 MP front camera and Z3 has 2 MP front camera, and that this is probably due to Sony's software and image processing. People say the same things for the rear camera - that it gives worse photos than Sony's cameras on other phones and that that is because of Sony's software.
So my question is - if I install a camera app from the market, will that app give me better front and rear camera photos? Since it's not Sony's software, but some other? Or do those camera apps just put filters on photos? What is this "camera software" that everyone blames for lower quality of photos and how can it be altered to give better photos? Do third-party camera apps give different photos or do they also use Sony's software? How can I make my photos better?

1.) why is the camera photo quality so horrible even with camera mods and everything? is it the lens or the software?
2.) why cant we take 5MP 3d photos? both cameras are 5MP..can this be solved with software?
3.) why cant we choose which camera we want to use (left or right) for 2d video recording/still camera. its not very useful for most but for people like me who got some dust under the main camera lens cover and not able to remove, it would be useful
and if u have any ideas how to remove the dust under camera lens cover please tell me!
1. Definitely the software. I believe all the mods are just modding the stock camera and increasing their bitrate and quality. However, that's not really fixing up other issues so the image quality still looks bad. But for proof that its not the lens, download a camera app called Camera360. Try it out, I've never taken more beautiful pictures with a phone before. So yea, I believe its all just in the image technology LG used for their images.
2. Not sure.
3. shrug* your guess is as good as mine.
Why is the camera soooo slowwww? or is it the camera app?
To speed up the stock camera set your focus (in camera settings) to continuous - nice quick snaps..... the focus may be off for close shots but those you can use macro or auto (just on auto its MUCH slower!)
A class 10 SD card will also help with speed if you are saving to the external SD card
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has an amazing camera. For years I had Android phones and had a few favorite camera apps I used. The 1020 uses a different system, "lenses", but really it's the same idea I think. To get an effect like pencil sketch, you need to first download a new "lense" app. My problem is that the lense effects ONLY work on the camera and not the video camera. Does anyone know of a lense effect app that works on the video camera? Or one that works in the ultra high resolution mode? Thus far only the Nokia app works in high res mode, and I have found no effects for the video camera mode which leaves me still occasionally using my Android phone. Any ideas?
Hello community.
I havent had much of a chance to mess around with the camera settings but i have a question. I want to try to take the best pics possible but using the most native settings based on the sensor size. Does anyone know what the true native sensor size is and what is the native resolution of this device. It seems to default to 8MP but its branded as a 20MP picture. I want to avoid overly processed photos.
The back camera module is a Sony RS IM20 (Same as Z1/Z2.)
20.7 MP (5264 х 3960)
7.87 mm, 1/2.3"

You can try by installing camera apps, but I don’t think it will help you. I have installed different camera apps, but they can’t satisfy me. Although you may give a try.
Is the stock (Android 9) ZTE camera app able to be exported and used on a third party ROM (Lineage) ? I've tried multiple third party camera apps and it appears the main rear camera hardware is being reported as only being 12MP.
That's really confusing because the rear camera array is advertised as being a 48MP for standard & wide angle shots, a 8MP for "telephoto" shots (but who seriously 3x optical zoom is telephoto?) , and 20MP for ultrawide shots.
Are they pulling a Bait-n-Switch by software interperlating the main camera up to 48MP?
I'm guessing there are closed source libraries / drivers which allow the OEM camera app to access all of the various cameras? Maybe someone from the Axon 7 group may know?
Has someone already attempted to do this? Does anyone want to take a crack at this before I spend two or seven weeks attempting to do so?
That's 4to1 Pixelbinning. Don't worry about that. 12 MP delivers better results than 48 MP!
