Hello,
When I'm using stock camera, on the preview the pictures is high contrasted and bright, and when the photo is done, it's not so bright, more darker.
I tried all the camera settings, but nothing works. Maybe there are another good camera apps.
That's no camera problem.
The photos look darker because the gallery app reduces the screen brightness. Use quickpic gallery as a alternative!

I'm a big picture guy and wanted to know if any of you guys have adjusted any of the settings and have noticed better picture quality. I must say taking off auto-focus does help with the blurryness a little as stated in a previous post but just wanted to know what differences have you made/seen...
I currently have most things set to default.

Set it to highest resolution.
You will probably have to go to another app to really get good pictures. The stock app compresses them down too much. Hopefully, they will improve it in later updates. There is no excuse for not having more features like Camera 360 - the camera can do much better.
Ditto for the "720p" video. Did some side-by-side with a still camera that has a 720p mode - night and day difference in quality. Again, hope/wonder if this can also be upgraded with only software.
Switch to standard photo size by switching off widescreen mode. All widescreen does is lop off pixels from the top and bottom of your photos. If you really wanted that, just do it yourself in a photo editor. You are not using the full resolution of your camera in widescreen mode, and 16:9 photos are non-standard when it comes to printing either 4x6 or 5x7 photos.
Hello, I only just got the HTC ONE mini yesterday and just trying to get to grips with a couple of things, mainly the stills camera. I can see in the setting you can change the video resolution but I cannot for the life of me see where you can lower the resolution of the camera say if i want to shoot in 1024x768 or 640x480 - can anyone point me in the right direction please.
Also when I have taken the photo how can i go and adjust the brightness and colour and contrast and sharpness of the photo before sharing it using the inbuilt htc camer app rather than having to download snapseed or another post processing app? - I have tried 'edit' and then 'retouch' but rather than sliders for brightness contrast and saturation etc it just gives skin smooth face lighting face contour etc but no control of photo brightness or anything else - thanks for any help.
I noticed, while comparing to my note 3 and a friends sony z ultra, that when I take a photo and go to see it in the gallery, the picture is not very clear..i would say a little blurry, while the other two phones shows the picture crystal clear(i tried in auto mode, outdoors and at sunlight). However, when I zoom in , it gets clear. Is it a software bug?? Has anyone noticed that??
Which ROM are you on?
And you have best quality pic in settings?

Are you using QuickPic? There's an option in settings that intentionally blurs the picture to save power.
I am on 33 stock rom. I am using stock camera app. And i have 100℅ picture quality. Havent you noticed it??
He means the gallery in the camera app and not the standalone gallery app. This issue doesn't happen on the gallery app. When you are looking at a picture fully zoomed out, it looks decent. But if you zoom in any amount with your fingers, the picture gets much sharper once you stop.
The zoomed out view is too big for your picture viewer to get a good preview.
What's your experience on 3rd party camera apps such as Snap Camera, A better camera, Camera Zoom FX etc. in comparison to stock google cam app? Do they perform any better in point-and-shoot scenarios? Some of these apps recently got support for camera2 API on Nexus 5. Does that actually change anything except RAW support and 4k video recording?
I use "A Better Camera", and shoot in "Super" mode. I took several pictures with the google camera in various levels of light, on normal and HDR, and took the same with A Better Camera using normal, HDR, and Super. Super looks hands down the best. When zooming the pictures in all of the way, you can easily see that A Better Camera's pictures taken as Super contain the most detail and most accurate colors. A Better Camera's HDR also beats the stock camera HDR in detail. For low light A Better Camera destroys the Google Camera.
Edit: Also, A Better Camera focuses better than the stock camera, and doesn't need to refocus every several seconds.
I do not use any post processing.

I installed it and it certainly takes a better picture, but I cannot find any "super" setting.
Where is the super setting?
You need premium
Also, do I need premium for it to zoom? I can't get it to zoom like the regular camera does.
You shouldn't need premium for the Super setting. Tap the circle at bottom right to get shooting mode settings, and Super should be the tile in the middle. For zoom, swipe down from the top to get the settings menu, tap More settings (at bottom), tap Viewfinder settings, tap More, and make sure Show zoom control is checked. Then, when you go back to the main (picture-taking) screen, swipe from left to right to bring the zoom slider out.
Thank you for the clear explanations.
I found the zoom control hidden on left. I had been trying to zoom using 2 finger stretch like in other apps but didn't work here.
But super is not there. I purchased the app but as you see in the screenshot there is no super.....
Odd... yours has Night where mine has Super (2nd screenshot). Super was there for me in the free version too.
Well, at least I'm not going blind.
I have the latest version. Just purchased it.
I thought I edited my post to say I'd figured it out, but something didn't save... anyway, if you are running Lollipop, pull down your settings menu, tap More settings, tap General Settings, tap More, then make sure Use Camera2 Interface is checked. Then you will have the Super option available. (If you're still running KitKat, that won't work since KK doesn't use the Camera2 interface.)
Thank you.
I'm still on kitkat. So no super mode. ?
Hi guys,
which camera resolution setting do you use: 20M 5120x3840 (4:3) or 12M 3968x2976 (4:3)?
The 12M is great as it has a zoom option, but the 20M obviously it is better resolution. The picture quality, myself I can not tell much difference.
Thing is, I do not always take zoomed pictures, but when I do, it is so time consuming to go to settings and change the resolution, and tehre is no easy swipe or shortcut to do so.
Which setting you guys on?
Use 12M. Smaller file sizes, same quality, you can zoom in etc. No use in 20m
You can always zoom later by cropping in from the 20MP image. I hope you don't imagine the zoom function being anything else than cropping.
Usually 20MP. If I really want to zoon I just switch to 12MP. But most often I do not use the zoom at all during shooting.
I just wish there was a faster way for changing these. (Also HDR) Would be cool if after zooming in 20MP it would just automatically switch to 12MP.
I like to play with the camera in the PRO mode, but on the go and so on I usually use the auto mode. Just sometimes I cancel the AI as I don't always want the corrections it makes.

The main camera is 12mp so you'll get no extra quality out the 20mp option.
