Lets face it, the M7 camera ap is not much to put in the christmas tree.
Hopefully you will also be able to get better photo result with a 3rd party app ?
Which maybe have better auto settings etc, better auto exposure ?
I have tried the google camera app a little... it is a lot faster then the m7 app faster interface.. but I see no direct
improvment/difference in photo quality. But the Google camera app is good enough to replace the mediocre M7 Camera app, but I am sure there is even better ?
a better camera. Don't know if the photos are better but more options/tweaks.
Hi
I dont understand why people are complaining about mate 7's camera so much. It is much better than my old LG G2's camera.
I am using stock camera with no tweak. Really happy with its performance. I am on holiday with my friends and as you guess i took tons of photos and selfies, all my friend praised my phone's camera as having a very good performance.
I have tried an app called perfectly clear it brings superior quality to the m7 camera in hdr realistic mode.. A must have now... Must good hdr apps cost money...
Down side with the app is that you must hold the of steady since the app takes two pics and merge them so it takes a few seconds longer to take the shot but it's worth it.

Heya all I wan't you to check this app out! It's amazing - real HDR photos with 1 tap! It's better than Camera360 in my opinion
LITE ver: HDR Camera
PAID ver: HDR Camera +
I gave that app a try before.
For HDR, definitely better than Camera360. Camera360's HDR appears to be HDR in name only, not a real HDR effect.
I didn't really like HDR Camera though. I use Pro HDR Camera for HDR photos now.
Is Pro HDR Camera better?

Yes, in terms of image quality
No, in terms of speed.
As someone who enjoys experimenting with HDR with my "real" DSLR camera, I've tried both; I think Pro HDR is honestly better in final image quality, plus it allows post processing. It has it's good points.
HOWEVER, when I shoot HDR with my DSLR, I use a tripod. Can't use that on the phone. And by the time I rig up something using duct tape and sticks, my subject is no longer "right there." The only reason I shoot with my phone is that I always have it "on the spot!"
HDR camera is definitely better when it comes to image alignment(meaning that your images are going to be MUCH blurrier in PHC with normal camera shake; I tested in the most low key environment possible, with my elbows resting on a table taking a picture of an object, still some blur). The post processing feature in PHC can be basically duplicated with a number of free apps. As someone who doesn't mind paying a developer for a bug-free product (I spend time earning money, if you save me time by being convenient, well...), it's not about the paid/free aspect.
I discovered, actually, with HDR camera (free version), it doesn't always save when it's supposed to. When it gives the nag (ugh) to buy the product, you'd better check. And it seemed to start giving it CONSTANTLY after a certain point. When I paid for it (mainly for the geotagging...was it offering me Ad-Free as part of it's paid app???? Ummm...uncool), it was actually MORE buggy and crashed a lot more. DEFINITELY not a happy camper here
In fact, that was why I tried Pro HDR, and was so dissatisfied I was in time to get my refund. I will be so happy when I find an app, paid or free, with HDR capabilities!
There is another app, basically a clone of HDR camera, called "night camera," which also has a free version, if you are LOOKING for the ghosting/blurring that comes with an HDR "screw-up"/treasure, lomography - style (like what happens if you move slightly with PHC). I've only used it for these sort of shots, so I'm not sure of it's long-term functionality.

I feel like you just said the stuff I wanted to say but couldn't manage to find the words for.
Like I said before, I find Pro HDR definitely better in image quality, but the other stuff... well I'm bad with words so let's just say I almost never use Pro HDR Camera for picture taking except on certain occasions. Or for some "fun" photos where I a friend is in the picture in one photo then moves out of the picture or goes to another position during the second shot to see this ghost effect. Looks pretty cool.
I think about the Night Camera you were talking about, the reason it might be a clone of HDR Camera might be because its by the same developer.
The only camera I use at night time is this Night Effect with Camera360. Though, I find the other effects good during night time too.
Looking at getting this device (coming from iP4).. but I am reading the shutter lag is pretty bad. I like my cell phones to have a good camera... not too much to ask, right?
My question - do any of the cooked ROM's reduce shutter lag? Or is the lag on a hardware level?
thanks for help in my decision!
i have always been able to find camera apps that overcame issues that i didnt like in the stock app... fast burst camera app can take pics really fast, and can take a bunch in a row so you could choose the one you like... camera illusion gives you lots of effects you can see in real time,
if youre worried about the shutter time, the stock app spends a long time focusing, but its gives some really nice results... so try a few apps and find the one that fits you best.

Ive noticed this also. Tried fast burst camera, but every pic I took was blurry... Any other good camera apps?

Bumping this to see if anyone has identified a better camera app. I tried out the Blaze, and I like it in pretty much all respects except for the shutter lag on the camera...
I'm pretty sure the camera in the Blaze dates back to the original Galaxy S. So while it can take some decent shots, it's no replacement for even a halfway decent point and shoot.
I have played with a few apps that will try to take an image faster than stock, but most do a crummy job as they do it without focusing first. But if you can live with the slight shutter delay the Blaze will actually take some pretty nice photos.
Hi all,
So I recently got a Lenovo A5500-f tablet and as much as I'm really enjoying this new gadget I was disappointed to find AFTER purchasing it that both the front and rear camera have a fixed focus lens, meaning the camera is horrible unless you're taking photos outside in distance; kinda like point and shoot. This is also a shame because a lot of apps now (mainly the ones for entertainment purposes) use the camera feature and I feel like I'm missing out on using them now. The camera quality is also extremely horrible for anything up close, or unless you have VERY strong lighting. When I purchased the tablet I only saw the 5MP sticker and thought it was decent for a tablet, not realizing that the camera cant even focus.
My question is are there ANY apps at all that make this camera atleast half useable... Paid or free I don't mind. I kinda just need something which will atleast let me take a photo.. My old Iphone 4 takes better quality images.
Thanks!!
bumpp, anyone??
Is anyone experiencing this, I don't see many threads?
Tonight I did a camera comparison with a friends IPhone 6 and the IPhone 6 was far superior in every sense. Images from the Z3 generally seem grainy and lack detail and sharpness.
I see a few people have mentioned that the camera is better of you manually set the options. This isn't what a smartphone is for when you need to snap a quick shot, by the time you've done all that you've missed the moment.
I swapped my LG G3 (which also took better shots) for this and I'm really underwhelmed by the camera on the Z3, which ironically is its main selling point.
Can anyone suggest some third party camera apps which would perform better?
Also do you think Sony will fix this, i owned the original Z and can recall having some camera issues. I didn't think they would still be present 4 years on.
The Z3 camera was hyped up so much, I really can't see why. Great on paper, not so good in the real world.

superior auto mode is basically a 8 mp with hdr and flash with some adjustments better go with the manual so you can choose a higher mega pixel.

I installed Pro Capture and it seems a lot better. Sony is doing half a job. You cannot supply excellent hardware and not take advantage of it with the software. It seems most people are impressed by the specs of the camera more than its ability to actually take a picture! I cannot believe how much hype surrounding this camera there was.
Have you tried the xposed module 'superiorauto 20mp'? which forces the SA mode to shoot at 20megapixels?
Hi everyone!
This is something that has been bothering me (well, the only thing) regarding Mokee rom.
I don't like its camera app. I prefer miui 's camera app but I don´t want to go back to miui just because of the camera software as I'm loving all the rest in Mokee....
So, is there any really good camera app that does moreless the same job of miui's camera app? The one in Mokee is just so limited... and if you breed meanwhile you just can't take a nice picture, specially at night... I really have to stop breathing to take a nice pic at night with mokee's camera...
Which camera software do you recommend me to use? I tried several from playstore but none gave me the results of miui's camera.
Many thanks in advance
I'm currently using the cost free variant of HD Camera Ultra. I like its features.
I too am curious as to what other (preferably cost free) camera apps other Xiaomi Mi 4c users may be using.

I looked over and over and finally I found something that impressed me... Try searching for "DSLR camera". I downloaded the PRO version from Aptoide.
Finally I have a real camera... It's just wonderful.
I also tested HD camera ultra and didn't quite liked it also but this DSLR camera is just perfect for me.
Well thanks for the feedback anyway
Two other cost free camera apps

Glad to read you found an app that you like. There is a DSL Camera on Google Play Store (by Geeky Devs Studio) and I assume that is the 'pay' app you are referring to.
wrt cost free applications, there is also
LG Camera on Google Play Store (by RubberBigPepper). I played with it briefly and it provides a bit more control over one's camera than "HD Camera Ultra". I did encounter a bug with the white balance in "LG Camera". After one of my earlier pix, it selected one setting for while balance and locked on that even thou it was set to auto. This was very frustrating, although eventually I learned that to work around a clear 'bug' in the software, I had to manual change the white balance to something else, then go back to auto, before the auto worked (ie I managed to find a way out of some bug in the software's white balance auto setting). LG camera does have some adverts that I found a bit annoying - clearly they want one to pay for the commercial version to remove the adverts. I did not check out the cost to remove the adverts. Instead, I will likely remove the app. I can't see paying for a white balance bug.
.
Open Camera on Google Play Store by Mark Harman. I played with this briefly. I really like its autofocus implementation. Click on any object in the camera view, and the software will endeavour to adjust all settings (and not just the focus) based on a small area about that object. I found that kind of neat.
As noted, likely I will delete "LG Camera" and keep "Open Camera" and keep "HD Camera Ultra".

I'm using A Better Camera Unlocked, bought last year during 90% discount (was is christmas?) time just like this black friday discount.
I tested a lot of cameras like dslr camera, google camera, better camera, camera fx, camera fv-5, snap camera and so on.
For me camera fv-5 and snap camera hdr gives me the best results by far.
I personaly prefer snap camera hdr :good:
Quick question: Does the quality of the picture changes (does the post-processing algorythm changes) between camera apps, or is one better than the other just because of it's manual options?

Post processing algo could differ from one app to another of course, it's up to the app writer to use what algo (possibly user configurable). The parameters sent to the camera might differ as well, where that could generate different initial image from the camera hardware.
Is there any camera that can take instant photos like miui camera? Snap camera can but it changes to a lower resolution.
Try google camera... it's much better and also faster now
What is not OK with the stock MIUI camera? Works really well for me.
Miui camera is wonderful... Probably the best I tried... But as I'm sticking with Mokee I dont have access to miuis camera... Using google camera at the moment... Simples but works well...

Miui camera is excellent but if we use cm or mokee rom then we can't use miui camera obviously.
I'm using Snap Camera. The picture is much more better and clearer compared to other apps that i had tried.
just my opinion tho..
Snap camera is really good... Tried google camera but... Snap camera is to me the best option... Lots of options and best image... IMO better than miui camera.

Did you change around any settings in snap camera?
I changed ISO to get best PICs at night, steady shot is also very nice... Being able to Adjust brightness, exposure, contrast, sharpness while taking the pictures also gives a good improvement... Well among many other things I dont even know what they are for... Loool
But specially the night pics get much better...
Can somebody explain me, why Camera API 2.0 isn't used by most of the vendors? This is just ridiculous.
As for me, I use A Better Camera with everything unlocked.
Hello friend, but if you do like the Rom miui because you bought a phone Xiaomi?
