Hello everyone
Recently I had the Sony Xperia z2, but a few days ago I bought a sony xperia z3. When I start the camera it works a lot worse than the Z2, lags, and stutters.
I went to the store nearby and looked at another xperia z3 and she's doing the same in the camera. I thought it was normal, but when I saw the reviews z3 on you tube and how much fluency camera works, then I'm wondering if this is really normal. its software or hardware issue
My feeling is like to work with 25 fps
Camera response much better on my old xperia z1, and xperia z2.
Again, I put the latest firmware via flashtool, but it did not help.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Xperia Z3 D6603
FIRMWARE: GLOBAL GENERIC ( 23.0.A.2.93 )
Yes, same problems here (I have both Z3 and Z3c)
The camera is not nearly as smooth/lag free as Z1/Z2.
A bit annoying...
Same here.
The camera is shocking, and is in need of a massive update
the same with me in z3 6633 dual sim and hatting whin wifi working
Well...
Try to disable image stabilizer .
it makes the video look like that...
turn it off, and keep updating :good:
Does the Playback lag?
How the Video looks like, while recording is not very important!
The RESULTS are the MOST IMPORTANT!

The lag is not caused by the stabilizer. Tried in automatic and manual mode.

Video Playback is a little smoother than recording, but still not good as on previous Z models.
This is extremely frustrating
Check the Conditions of your Phone... Are you the ONLY one with the Problem?

Welll.....
On the GSMArena-Video test, the new ƶ3 is quite good! And in the Store, the Ƶ3 also NEVER lagged!
How does the Video play at your Computer? (If the Processing Power is Enough for 4k!)
If your Computer's Processing-Power is not enough for 4k, then try a lower Playback-Speed.
If it doesn't lag, then be satisfied! Only the Output-File is Important!
Even if i record 16K with a Camcorder with QVGA-Screen... the Screen only must be good enough to check, if your recording is good enough. And sometimes a swiveling(tiltable)-display is useful. Like on the LUMIX FƵ1000!
Does the Playback on another 4k-Capable device lag? Maybe there's another app, that eats processing power of your Phone. Is a battery-saving Program enabled? How good is your charger?
Have you ever been underwater wih your fone?
Your Phone has IP68-Protection, so there's a low chance for water to enter.
But if water entered, then it maybe touched One or two of those 4 Snapdragon-Processors then maybe one or two cores of the Quad-Core failed! :crying:
Check all Indicators. If it's still white (or Factory-Color), then that won't be the problem anyway!

it IS froustrating! You're completely right! You've got a super BRAVIA-Cinema screen on your phone that can't display your recorded video Properly!
But...
i already asked fknpwed fore some things in my last post!
If he answers, I'll get more information.
I still don't know (while i'm writing this right now), how the video plays at another 4k-Capable Device! (Like a Strong High-End Computer or so...)
If it plays very well there, then don't worry - the FULL Information is in the Video Files and can also be play(e)d, if the problem gets solved! :laugh:
Can You show us how badly does the camera lag? Since we have a screen recording feature in Z3, it's not a problem. I don't find a camera lag to be the problem, it also depends on the amount of light and quality we want to see on the screen. Here is mine with different EV settings. Sure it lags a little when shifting from dark to bright scene, but I thinks that's pretty normal behavior.
I am talking about the viewfinder laggyness.
If i start the camera app, and move the phone for ex. up and down, i got alot of frame drops and everything lags. (Doesnt matter which settings) But the output runs quiet smooth on my device, but not good as on Z2. I will upload a sample Video later.
Because the viewfinder on z1 and z2 used to run at 60fps, and that's not happening now.
But why?
z1 lagged too in its earlier firmware version...it could be a similar software problem...
z1 now is really smooth..and maybe z3 is going to be the same in the next updates
So here is my sample video

Do you call THIS ALREADY a lag?
Welll..... the Z2 was more smooth!
Maybe it's just for preventing overheating!
I suggest it's about 16 fps but t's JUST THE PREVIEW!
Are the Photos good?
Try to do the same at a colder temperature... does it run more smooth?
I suggest, the Xperia Ƶ2's preview runs with 60 fps - on a FullHD Screen - so the camera's temperature will go upwards, even at the preview!
That would be embarressing for Sony...
That was daylight, so it's probably nothing got to do with the shoutter speed!

Does it also lag in SAFE MODE? (Hold the Shutdown-Entry in the STBY-Menu) - without running any apps in the background...
...and without Screen-Recorder? (Motion-Screenshot)
If it lags anyway under this conditions, then it hasn't got anything to do with the processing power.

Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Its good to be here.
So, I just installed camera fv 5 lite and the problem is that the shutter speed goes to a maximum of 1/11 secs. I was reading another guys tutorial and his one plusone could go to 64 seconds! He mite have had the paid version but still even in the light version it shouldn't be this low! I am confused why this is happening!
Please can someone give me a fix for this especially those of you familiar with camera fv 5. Or another app that allows to set exposure, shutter speed etc which works on xperia xz. Hope some of you guys can help me out.
Have a great day.
I've tried several 3rd party camera apps, even paid versions, including the paid version of FV-5 and none of them would offer a slower shutter speed than 1/10 second. I believe that is the slowest that Sony surfaces through the api to other apps.
Also none of the other apps allow any higher resolution than 8MP.
Lastly, I couldn't get FV-5 to even work on my XZ. I could take a couple of photos then the app appears to lock up. The circle in the center keeps spinning like it can't obtain focus.

Thanks for your reply, Fred! That is sad news though. I also tried several 3rd party apps (bought one too) but as you said, the shutter speed does not go below 1/10s. I wonder if you can root your device and fiddle around to change it from there or is it more of a hardware issue (kind of a noob when it comes to these things). The thing is I was reading an article where this guy used his OnePlus One to take epic milky way pictures just using his phone, fv 5 and a tripod. His phone and fv 5 allowed him a 64 second shutter speed! The results were unbelievable. I though to myself an Xperia XZ with such a great camera would do wonders but apparently not
BTW Fred, the issue you told me regarding fv 5 (spinning), it happened to me too but I think I just was not keeping the phone steady. When I kept the phone steady it would circle around, turn green, and take the picture (but I have a feeling your problem might be different). Just trying to help you out.
Thanks again man.
I hope there is some fix/hack out there that can reduce the shutter speed to at least 30-40 seconds. Samsung S7 has a 10 second shutter speed!

I'm not sure if there will be a way to get a very long shutter speed. The Sony camera app jas a max of only 1 sec., which, to me, is still very fast. Other phones that i have allow up to about 30 secs max shutter speed.
I should add that the problem i observed with FV-5 only occurs when I take the app out of auto mode, specifically go to shutter priority. Happens even in strong sunlight. I just downloaded and tried it agaik, since i got the android 7.1.1 update last night. Same problem, no change

Camera fv 5 is the worst for manual control for Sony devices in my opinion. I Advice snap camera hdr. There you can use manual controls at full resolution and some extra things. But shutter speed same.

I think there isn't a mode for now. But, this app is really complete. You must active camera2 api to have everything

This phones 48mpx camera shutter speed is too low, you can not take bust shots, for bust you need to change to 12mpx which is annoying.
I personally dispontted from this, Also brightness is a big issues in outdoors, im also using honor 8pro and outdoor i use 50% to 60% brightness. And for tbis phonr brightness level is 96% huge difference between brands.
During calls suddenly u r not able to hear voice of other person,just for a freakction of time.

You shouldn't ever change it to 48 mp unless you intentionally either want to take worse photos or if you just like large numbers. It's 12 mp by default for a reason.
Set the phone to auto brightness for the highest possible brightness. If the brightness level is fine at 96% then what is the problem?
The display tests I've seen put them both in the 450-550 nits range so the maximum brightness shouldn't be all that different.
The last part sounds like reception issues. From what I've heard the antennas aren't exactly the best so that's something any buyer has to live with or hope Asus sends out an update that can alleviate the problem although I don't expect that to happen.

I never said it was a good buy.
There was no long speech; where did that come from? It was a simple response to your issues or rather (mostly) non-issues.
What's the major problem exactly? The only real problem was the signal reception but it also sounds like it's intermittent.

And neither of them has 48 MP camera. It takes longer to process and save 48 MP pictures due to large file size, that's why burst mode is not possible. I'd suggest you to do some research about it.

Now you're straying away from your own question. You were talking about the unavailability of 48 MP burst mode.

So you just wanted people to agree?
Megapixels don't really matter. A lot of things go into making a good camera. However that wasn't the original issue. You complained about taking photos at 48 megapixels being slow. You've been told two things in regards to that:
1) set it to the default 12 mp because that's what it was made to do; it's meant to do pixel binning for the best quality and speed.
2) large megapixel counts require more data meaning it's slower. That's how it's meant to be.
In short: there is little to no reason to take pictures at 48 mp.
Sorry for a bit of offtopic (ignoring OP's "problems") but what's wrong with antennas? I had a Galaxy S4 and that was a nightmare in terms of cellular connectivity. If there are problems with calling, do they affect network connectivity in any way?
In my Zenfone 6 the flip camera while working in main camera in 48 MP tends to stop working either in selfie mode or rear camera mode whenever I flip. It's temperamental as sometimes main camera works only in Selfie mode then in rear camera mode it whites out the screen. Sometimes it works only in rear mode but in selfie mode it whites out. Can't make out what is the problem. Hopefully an upgrade will solve it.

Software can not solve hardware issues, like poco phone hearing error if u tilt a little, same with this phone having some mechanical errors which can not solved by software updates, sad but true.

For me, 4G with airtel network in India is giving 19Mbps download speed which is similar to s10+ where I get 18 to 19 Mbps.
I heard there are A, B and C modals of this device not sure if network issues exist in few type/modals.
167 new firmware released primarily to address camera and call quality issues.
OP can check if new firmware helps.

There was an update yesterday claiming to address the flip camera issue however my mobile camera continues to have the problem. From what I understand the image flipping creates the problem on my mobile. The main camera flips images on final position in selfie or rear camera mode & exactly at that point where the image correction is supposed to happen my screen whites out intermittently.
Can someone please help & advice.

My friend, we have to accept this is a experimental phone, like i remeber my nokia N900 that was outstanding phone by Nokia But lot of software and hardware glitches,
Same with this phone,
Z6 had hardware issues which is not salve in future with software updates.

Just wondering many claims here, I have been using 8 / 256 Gb model for few weeks now. Everything works just fine.
Asus camera is a good one. No need for GCam, but you can install it too (just like I did). Just install the latest arnova8G2 for Zenfone 6 (camera API2 is supported by Asus, so you need just install GCam).
I prefer usually Xiaomi phones, but I decided to chose this one instead of waiting Global K20 Pro. Just happy with my new Asus Zenfone 6.
After use of 1 month this phones camera works slow portrait mode woks slow one single picture takes 4sec to process which is very slow if we compare with one+, image process time is too slow of 6z

Oh, you already did, that was fast
i am getting sick of waiting for this mode to come back either through sony or through a port the last port was done in 2015 which was the much older style which only affected images and videos, i want one affecting the entire interface, i am willing to put 200 dollars into this to have it ported properly working exactly the same as on the xz3, i will also let others increase the bounty if they want the mode back, but it seems i am literally the only one on this planet that still wants this mod, i mainly want to use it on the note 10+ with a ttoggle to force the high brightness mode that only starts in the youtube app.
Just want to ask if anyone has a solution to the XZ problem which is the camera easily overheat and forcing the camera app to close. I can only take 5 minutes(max) for the rear camera and about 12 minutes(max) at the front. Is using Custom Rom or AOSP 10 allow the camera to record longer videos even if it's heating a bit? thanks in advance. btw I'm using my XZ for my online class so it's a pain cant open the camera long enough.
sorry this sony xperia xz is also a chronic problem and there is no solution
