[Q] What's "whiteboard"?

The camera has several settings, like HDR or Close Up - but it also has a setting called "whiteboard" - which isn't described in the manual.
Anybody know what it does?

Assume for taking photos of your office whiteboard.

So no official docs on this?

A quick search of HTC.com would have revealed this:
What different camera modes can I use?
To take pictures that are customized to a specific environment, tap the Scenes icon to choose from the different Scenes (modes) that are available. The icon is located on the bottom-left of the screen when shooting in landscape mode, and is reflective of the scene that is currently active (A will be displayed if Auto mode is active) The different scenes are:
Slow motion video – Create brilliant slow-motion video without needing to use video editing software later.
Auto – Take high quality pictures with a very fast capture speed. This is the default setting and also enables other features such as continuous shooting.
HDR – In bright light conditions, bring out the details of both highlights and shadows without washing out the image.
Panorama – Extend your shot by taking high quality panoramic pictures.
Portrait –Adds a smoothing effect to skin and bringing out the most of the human features.
Group portrait – Captures the most possible smiles and fewest blinks.
Landscape – Brings out the best features of nature’s wonders.
Whiteboard – Take the best possible pictures of highly reflective surfaces.
Close up – Also known as macro mode, this mode brings out the best colours and features of pictures taken at a close range.
Low light – Take great pictures in bad conditions, reducing overexposure caused by using a flash in these conditions (The flash is disabled while using the Low light scene).

How do you think I found the info for you? Btw the search of HTC.com took 30 seconds. I was over estimating by merely saying "quick search" because I figured it would take a lazy, entitled person a little longer. I guess not everyone has enough common sense to perform an internet search, though. So, how 'bout you look at the link I posted in my first reply? Better yet, maybe I should act like a spoiled child too, and retract my help.

Thanks for Posting the Link
Thanks for posting the link Indesisv... As I was a Junior Member I was not able to post the link.

All of the effects that can be done are really quick to apply. It's simple to use.
One question thought "Images can be Enhanced to HD - High Definition" how do you go about applying that effect? I can't seem to see it anywhere.
Also the stickers section - it does not list any that i can apply.
Thanks

Hi indesisv,
As soon as Editor Page opens, on the Bottom Left Corner, there is an Enhance Tile. On Clicking this we get choose from four modes
[Auto, Night, backlit and balance]. This is option to Enhance to HD.
I am using Aviary Editor, they said that this is the Feature for Enhance to HD. Also Stickers cost money for Individual Developers as Far a Aviary is concerned, Hence I disabled it ...

1 feature Suggestion for 21 Photos

The one thing that is misssing is when using a file browser and i click on a photo it does not give you the option to open it with the 21 photo's editor.

Hi
It looks the same of Aviary (except for the file browser and prefs).
Is it another implementation of the same framework?

Good Feature Suggestion

[APP][2.2.3+/3.2+/4.0+] Smart Selfie - Facial Recognition Voice Guidance

Smart selfie is a FREE voice-guided photography app that use facial recognition to help you take better selfies with the back camera of your phone by giving voice prompts on how to adjust the phone, such as moving it left, right, away, up, etc so that photo participants are well centered in your photos.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Latest Version is now 1.14. Some pretty exciting features added to make the app easier to use.
1.1.4
*Measure beta (Now gives the size of the movement for up, down, left, right.) *Measure beta now supports Eyeliner mode.
*New Camera settings added - Picture Quality and Picture Size.
*Crash fixes and optimization when taking photos.
*Moved to a new UI. Presets, Detection settings and Camera settings have been moved into the Action Bar and appear as icons.
*Minor bug fixes.
*Redid some voice guidance recordings.

///////////////////////////////////
Normally, to use the better quality and higher resolution camera on the back of your phone to take selfies requires a lot guesswork as you cannot see front screen of your camera
You also need to clumsily click the screen to take the actual photo.
Smart selfie can identify one or multiple faces, then direct the user to move the phone position so that is is in the optimal position. It will then automatically take the photo once your camera is in position.
Another great advantage is not all android smart phones have a front camera so this app would be perfect for owners of such phones to take selfies.
Current selfie apps in the android market simply switch to the lower quality front camera as a default or they might have features that will take photos when your whistle or provide voice commands. This is a rather cumbersome way to take selfies. Some may have a library of cool photos filters and effects, but these do not actually assist in taking the actual photos.
At the time of writing ICS (4.0) is required for full functionality. With 4.0 you can automatically take photos and share them online via social networking sites or pass the photo to other apps for further enhancements.
The core functions will run at 3.2 or higher. The app will lack the ability to share photos if your OS is less than 4.0
For those running and OS between 2.2 and 3.1. You will get the full facial detection and voice guidance feature, however the photo must be taken manually once the camera is in position. (This may be changed in the future.)
Limitations of this version:
*5MP max image taken on back Camera (if your phone is capable of higher resolutions photos will be taken at 5MP)
*Detect Up to 4 people.
Requirements
Min Requirements CPU: 800mhz OS: 2.3+
Recommended Requirements CPU:Quad Core 1Ghz+ OS: 4.0+
Other Requirements: You device needs to have a back camera!!!!!!
///////////////////////////////////////////////
That aside at the moment the UI is a train-wreck, the core functionality seems to work well. Feel free to download the app, take a few selfies and provide feedback to see how it works on different devices.
In additional i would like you know how you feel about:
1) The voice guidance quality? This was taken from several recordings done on an android phone in relatively noisy conditions, I had all sort of background noises like light aeroplanes, garbage trucks, bird tweeting, clothes dryer, strong wind, traffic, and some paper rustling.
2) Do you think it app takes too long to take a selfie?
3) The limitations are they ok? This app allows better quality selfies even on new devices like Samsung galaxy 5, which sports a 2MP front camera.
4) Any other feedback/comments/tips?
Smart selfie Free is available on the google play store the package is

Happy Snapping !!!!

the settings should stay between taking multiple pictures & there should be some notification once the picture got taken/

Wait a min
Do you mean a front camera or what? (actually a back camera?)
Sorry but i didnt get the concept...

It did say "say cheese" and I got a picture, but no click, no "how lovely!" or other indication.
This thing is really ingenious, quite nifty, and did work even on my 600mhz single-core-clunker. Voice instructions were on the quiet side (could explain why some users missed them).
The UI could be more modern, but so simple and adequate as-is. But do make it persistent. And the option, at least, to automatically find the up-to four faces without need to ask, might be nice as well.
Selfies with only a rear camera? Got it :good:

You got a very interesting app. But it needs some pruning though. Can you put it in video mode, and user just angles the phone for a selfie, and your app takes a snap automatically when the faces are focussed. Since its a selfie, you know that the face has to be like 30% to 70% of screen area. User opens app, points the back camera at themselves, and tilts the phone in a few angles. You select the best shot automatically. Its just an idea. You would know better

additional suggestions,
apart from wat these people are saying as a suggestions, i have some of my own. but i tried this app and i find this great..only 2 aditional things:
voice guidance should be louder..and (if possible), have proper diction. i have trouble recognizing the voice guide on my phone because volume is a bit low. i tried to use an earphone while testing to take a selfie..and i had trouble when the command says "left" because the female voice's diction sounds like "lift". atleast put an option to adjust voice guide volume..or let it be controllable with volume buttons (you know which of the 2 is the best).
This app does ake decent shots after guiding you. But, please add adequate lighting sensor, or at least the ability for the voice guide to tell you to turn on flash if the lighting condition is low..something like that. i hope you get the idea.
that's all..this is an innovtive app..but as always, there's always room for improvement.

Awesome App
This app is awesome. It even works on 600 MHz phone. And selfies are great. But there should be a click sound to notify user that the picture has been taken. and moreover there should be option to delete the pic directly. Good job @hotspot_volcano :good:
Hope to see changes in next version.

Kill it! Kill it with fire!

Thanks for the feedback from starcallr and Dovidhalevi. I've implemented some of them.
Just released v1.08 after having a lot of fun getting Android v23 installed, took several hours installing and uninstalling after that to get things to compile once i figured out the missing files.
Anyway from the feedback I've made some changes.
*New detection feature: Added Face Zoom (Allows close-up, or further-away selfies.)
*Ability to change volume more easily.
*All settings remembered from previous session.
*Popup reminder showing settings shown at the start of each photo session.
*More audible photo capture sound. (The click is 10X louder now.) But I might replace the audio click with some voice prompt so it would be 3X louder still without sounding out-of place.
#to do list (over the next week)
*Unified settings. All settings appear together in one Alert Dialog. (15% done) Attached a quick layout.. tell me what you think.
*Flash available for low lighting (as for detection it may need a low light facial detection feature which may i may only put in the paid version)
*A delete feature to delete the just taken photo.
*Auto-detect orientation (25% done)
*Fix up app crash after you have successfully taken a photo on your default camera app when you try and return to Smart Selfie on Android OS 2.2 - 3.1
#planned tidbits (over then next year)
*5 or so detection features(paid version probably), most of these will need OpenCV. (The very first version of this app was in OpenCV + NDK)
*Augment Reality features, maybe hats, sunglasses, hair and stuff that would be visible on the screen and automatically placed on detected faces, and would appear in the final photo when taken
=============================
I have tested earlier versions in public places it and the audio is already boosted up ~15db on average. I did have a silly idea of a vibrate morse code which could be used in extremely noisy places. Something like a short + short vibrate for left, short + long vibrate for right. The vibrate wont affect detection as won't be detecting when the vibrations are occurring. But not going to give it a go for now. Flashlight style Flash to give directions might also work, if it doesn't give people epilepsy.
Use of a Bluetooth headset might also be possible for very noisy places.
The UI is old fashion, i've been away from Android a while so Holo Light is giving me serious grief. Thinking about using Action Bar to replace the missing menu and avoid the LGPLv3 HoloEverywhere library. When i do set minimum APK.. the layouts go half sized. Anyway I'd like to concentrate on features at this stage.
There are apps like mine on Windows phone and IOS and I'd like to be the most comprehensive selfie app out there.
As for not requiring to input the right amount of people at the start. The app at the moment will center the detected faces the ask the user to move the camera away to a certain point in hope that the missing people will appear in the screen eventually? If they don't then you get stuck in a loop. But i will consider an auto (at your own risk setting)

WAY better than the previous version/

Amazing App!!
Amazing app!! Lovin it so much!! but ui need to be updated.. Other than that it's a great app for selfie!!!! Really a great job!! @hotspot_volcano

Thanks guys the next version is going to be much better. I'm actually quite excited about the next version.
Having spent more time thinking about what to put in the next version, it will have:
*Beginners/Casual Mode (Balance Sensitivity). If you don't mind your face not being perfectly centered in the photo.You can take photos quickly with little hassle. Detected faces will always appear within the photo with no parts cropped off at the side or top of the photo no matter what setting sensitivity is selected.
You can crank it up or down depending on your selfie taking skills and you/your groups patience in taking the perfect selfie.
*A slight change to the voice guidance algorithm. Hopefully this will stop the left right loop if you start with the phone too close to your face. For best results at the moment always start with the phone about 1/2 meter from your face.
*Fix any settings that don't appear to be saved properly. (I'm getting some issues with Preview Size changes sometimes not saving as expected?)
*Delete photo feature option. (Complete, but just don't ask when Windows 7 RTPing you see the deleted ghost files on 4.4 builds?)
*Unified settings. (getting there)
*Increased volume? Most recordings was set to 90% loudness. I'll experimental with increasing them to 100%. Anyway for noisy places I highly recommended using a portable Bluetooth speaker ones that are small enough to be slipped into your pocket.
My flagship test device is the Moto G which is one of the loudest android phones in the market. With speakers pumping out ~87 dB. Most of the commands was fairly audible even in packed and noisy food-court using the default speakers found on back of the phone.

Thanks for the great feedback guys.. Made a few changes in the most recent update. Plus a few more sites decided to showcase my app taking my app over 1000 downloads, and getting myself a small amount of people to test my app to make sure it works and all.
I'm planning a media launch soon as the app is nearly getting there. Have to rewrite my promotional material which was based on the very first version.
The paid version is no where is sight. The free version features that need to be sorted and taking up a lot of time.
The next update is going to be fairly exciting. These are the planned changes.
*An amazing useability feature that makes taking selfies even easier. It will be available on the free version because it would be probably make the free version cripple-wear if i just added it to the paid version. :angel:
*Auto-detect orientation (Yes this got pushed back.. working on it)
*Flash available for low lighting (Yes this got pushed back.. working on it)
*Attempt to fix submitted bug reports.
*UI (Holo light UI - no guarantees which means probably not :silly
*Continue to update the website so people can just use google translate to read the HELP and TUTORIAL notes in their preferred language.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
binu.udaya;54334510. Can you put it in video mode said:
I'm not too familiar with the hardware side of android as far as video mode is concerned, but i was always under the impression you would get lower resolutions under video mode. Moving the camera while taking a photo will cause motion blur.
Well there are already apps out there that do this.I though they just took 3 shots in quick succession. I could probably add such a feature, but i think the photo is pretty accurate. Especially on the higher settings of Face Balance.
Just to give you idea how accurate the balance is. Just say are taking a portrait photo. Your 4.5" screen displays has a preview image that is 5cm across on the screen. If the gap between the face and the left-side of the picture is 1.5cm then the right-hand side gap between the face and the right-side of the picture can not have a difference more than 0.225cm.
I don't know how many people can get a selfie balanced to 1/4 of a cm by looking at their screen. I'm more surprised if they can get that accuracy without looking it and not get any voice guidance.
FYI the v1.08 fixed settings would have required a difference less than 0.3cm based on the above criteria. So if you managed to get a few snaps off at on the v1.08 thats how well balanced your photos are.
That is why i added the Balance sensitivity, the crazy accuracy is not required in all situations. Takes a few dozen shots before you built up the experience to take photos at that level.

1.1.3 is an amazing new update!!!!!! Manage to squeeze in a bunch of features.
Finally manage to roll out the amazing useability feature Measure. Which provides a size of the movement in addition to the direction. Unfortunately i didn't really have to the time to extend the feature to up and down.
*Presets now available. Pick and choose different presets such as using a selfie stick; propping your camera against say a book then you walk away, photos are taken automatically when your in position; taking photos from different angles such as the Baby face selfie where the camera angle gives the illusion of bigger eyes.
*Eyeliner. Allows the vertical alignment of eyes in your photo. Gives a much larger variety of selfies you can take now.
*Voice Guidance speed is now adjustable. Set it faster if your more experience in using the app or lower if your new or English is not your first language.
*Website updated. All help information is available online and translatable into your preferred language. Link added to Playstore and accessible in app.
Whats in the next version?
*Crash bug fixed hopefully. Be focusing on why there are crashes when photos are taken. Made several changes already.
*Continue to work on Measure (UP,DOWN).. will also look at Measure( closer and away)
*Pickable Photo capture resolution.
*Pickable white Balance Mode (Maybe)
*Holo Light GUI (I'll take a look.. lol)
If you haven't already please try out Smart Selfie v1.1.3 and tell me what you think now?

v 1.14 took a bit longer than my general 7 day for an update but its finally here. Holo-Layout. Some people have been asking for it since v1.03
Forcing low resolution setting on high resolution devices was a MAJOR HEADACHE. Its still has a minor bug with half-sized screen randomly appearing but that's been around since v1.03. While i just moved to Holo layout, I don't want to know anything about Android L.
Lets take a look at our planned updates for v1.1.4 and what was done.
*Continue to work on Measure (UP,DOWN).. Measure Closer and Away (No plans for now)
*Pickable Photo capture resolution.
*Holo Light GUI (I'll take a look.. lol) - Seems Action tool bar works well for all versions of supported android.
*Crash bug fixed hopefully. Be focusing on why there are crashes when photos are taken. Made several changes already. Unfortunately once i started the UI I stopped working on crash fixes so more to come.
v 1.1.5 planned features
*Pickable white Balance Mode (soon i hope)
*A Custom Share Intent. Will be better than the stock one which may have problems with setting a default ShareIntent.
*Revisit and review code that may cause crashing when taking photos.
*In-app volume that does not change your current volume setting (ie not get blasted by the noise from other apps you run after smart selfie)
*General house-tidying of text strings in the app. One step towards the NOT planned in-app multi-language support.
*Creation of shared libraries. So that the paid version can re-branched.
*Small fixes to the UI where deemed necessary.
*Some sort of auto-orientation feature.
EDIT: Managed to get my hands on a LG P500 512 MB RAM, 3.2MP, 600mhz. Updated the rom to 4.04 onto it. Manage to take a photo without crashing though it took a while to show the photo.
The background wallpaper kind of leaks through into the app but i think its just the Rom.
If anyone have a device with 256mb ram try testing it and see if it causes any crashing (due to the lack of memory)

Redmi note 7 pro true camera performance pushed to the limits

As seen in review Redmi note 7 pro comes with camera2api enabled out of the box.
So technically we can get full manual support like
Shutter speed of 30 sec,iso,manual white balance,manual focus and most importantly RAW and DNG support. It does have the the camera hardware and processor to handle this things.
Can you all test apps like Camera -fv,Open camera or Bacon camera to see the device performance:
1:Low light
2:Light trail
3very important and the main reason of this post)
Astrophotography or Milkyway shots
Main task take photo at night pointing at the sky with stars around and take a shoot with this setting
Iso( lowest setting possible)+30 sec or more shutter speed+focus infinity( save the image in JPG and DNG)
AND PLS UPLOAD THE RESULT

Welcome bro, and I added 18 more photos to the album. Dude the camera blows!!! This the most expensive phone I have purchased in my life and I could not be more happy.
In one particular photo on 48 mp, supersampling went wrong and the photo has color bands or spots.

Can u use a tripod or use headphone so that the camera doesn't move
Then go to pro mode and select this setting for stars picture
Point the camera to the sky make sure stars are visible to u
Focus (infinity)+ISO(100-400)+Shutter speed(30 sec)+ white balance auto
THEN TAKE THE PHOTO
NEXT SETTING
Focus (infinity)+ISO(1600-3200)+Shutter speed(30sec)+white balance auto
Now try camerafv 5 or bacon camera it doesn't matter if those app doesn't support the 48 no resulution and take photo with above mentioned setting just take photo in DNG(RAW) formats.
(you can google that and get some idea how will it look or what to expect)

I don't have a tripod but I'll try out what you said. And this camera really captures even the smallest of the details. If you download and zoom in some of these building photos you can even see sunlight reflecting into spaces in the societies parking area. Even the farthest objects can be looked at closed with good details. Very surprised.

Here you go buddy.
It wasn't very dark location and Milky way wasn't up , but you can se the big dipper.
ISO 1600 , Shutter 16s . I tried shutter speed of 32s but stars were trailing at that so used 16s.
I used stock camera on purpose because I wanted to see without any special efforts how is the quality.
And I can say I am impressed.
Straight out of camera image. No modifications whatsoever.
will try milky way in upcoming months.

The stock camera reduces sharpness on human subjects and boosts color to look pleasing to the eye even with beautify, AI mode turned off. So it's better to try some other camera for true experience.
If you want a proper stock, download Gcam and capture picture in RAW format.
A word of caution, the RAW images will look dull because no processing has been done on the images and they will be very large in size. Use Lightroom (Pc and Android Both) to fit it according to your need.

Added one more picture

Yes , Built in camera does alter images .
For milky way will surely try RAW and Lightroom on PC.
btw added one more long exposure in same folder.
Long Exposure of Modi's plane taking off after a local rally.

The photos are awesome!
Can you share the exact camera settings used & whether you used the usual point and shoot mode or used pro mode?
If so the iso and shutter etc settings to get such perfect shots?
Also, were these captured on 48mp mode or default mode.?
Some issues:
My phone is just a week old while I have no issues with anything, whats bothering me is rear/main camera capturing daylight images with a yellow tint.
If I shoot anything indoors using an artificial light like cfl or led bulbs the shots come perfect and real in colors or textures and lighting.
Also, again the Red color seems isnt captured to the perfection. It is either captured as pink or orange.
I hope these are software issues or if the camera lens parses the light more in yellow.
Any expert to comment on this.

Very nice photos by phone
