I've read all about this phone. What I'm interested in is the speed at which pictures are taken. I don't mean burst mode, rather shutter speed. I have kids, and naturally they move around a lot. If the shutter speed isn't decent, the camera is no good for me. Can anyone shed some light? Or better yet post a video?
Thanks

My Wife just got hers yesterday, and so far it seems poor for moving kids. The camera favours low shutter speed rather than raising the iso
As an example, one photo taken outside in cloudy conditions chose shutter 1/30 and iso 125 - the shot came out blurry as my daughter was moving. I'd prefer it if chose a higher iso and higher shutter speed
If anyone knows of a third party camera app that can be set with things like minimum shutter speed, or shutter priority mode then id be keen to give it a try
Cheers, Barry
I love this phone, except for the camera. its almost unusable. Too blurry during lowlight and otherwise too.
KitKat will improve camera quality and focussing/speed greatly as users reported.
Why is Samsung Galaxy Edge's Camera so bad? Can we flash some software for the camera?
No complaints for me. Works as well as any camera I ever saw. Can you post pictures of how bad your pics come out? This is the one phone for me besides my Note 2 that actually has a decent low light performance
What issues are you having? Mine is great!
I have S6edge and Note Edge. Note Edge camera is not as good as S6edge, but it is still awesome.

I only have problems with breathing... It annoys sometimes, but when it takes the pictures, the quality is good (but light years from what we should expect from this smartphone)

I'm sorry for the late reply. I've experimented a little with the camera and reset it back to default. The issue is when it takes a picture indoor even during the day with quite well-lit environments I can notice that there are a lot of noise and also when it is used to take pictures of faces or even skin it is somehow very reddish. I'm not a person that is very good at taking pictures or know a lot about cameras but this is a very obvious problem as I owned a few other phones including Xiaomi Mi 4i, Redmi Note 4G, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S5 and others too where their camera does not have this kind of problem. Please advice.

Check and see how high the ISO is set to. If it's on auto, try setting it to a lower ISO setting. The pictures will be darker but less noise. Are you using the default camera app btw? Because for a long time, I was using the "DSLR" camera app since I preferred the interface but a few days ago, I decided to do a low light comparison between this app and the default one. Turns out, the DSLR looked darker and more reddish. I am now back on the default camera and it seems pretty good to me. I'm no expert but I am a photography enthusiast that regularly use a mirrorless camera.

Thanks! Will try this out
Guys,
Me and the Mrs were taking lots of shots last week in Vegas. I've got a G2 and the Mrs a GF2. In normal lighting conditions, the GF2 was leaving my G2 for dust due to the laser focus. :crying:
When it came to low light however, the GF2 was focusing quickly and my G2 was taking forever. When we looked at the pictures, my G2's were great but the GF2's were blurred/blocky. It was like the camera wasn't focusing as oppose to hand movement etc.
We did a few tests making sure the conditions were identical, (HDR, resolution, subject.) and in low lighting, the G2 was beating the GF2 on every single shot. We even sent the shots each other to rule out the different display technologies, but still the G2 was significantly better.
Have you experienced anything similar in low light?
In low light, the camera is supposed to wait a little and allow light to get into the sensor. This makes for good pictures. I think that was what the G2 was doing, taking in more light, while the GF2 focused quickly and took the shot without first allowing more light into the sensor.
You should edit the "shutter speed" which is the maximum time the camera will allow light to get into the camera.
Maybe the problem is the built-in image stabilisation of the GF2. With this OIS the GF2 shots with longer exposure. Moved objects become blurry with longer exposure.
The OIS affects only on non-moving objects. Thats a general problem with OIS.

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Mi 9 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Took a photo in Pro mode with telephoto zoom and it turned out well! It isn't even 48mp here

love the chester pictures- any chance of posting more pictures. i think i have found my next phone.

It looks pretty noisy. I assume it is already scaled down?
What were the settings?

Yeah a bit of noise on that one. Just default settings/auto, with HDR I think on that one. Gcam port should really unlock the potential of this hardware.
I am really liking the cam so far though...

Curious to see it, as the people on the bench (lower left) look soft on the focus ....
I made a comparison between Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 9.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ecGsAyjPUKVQ7adX9
I'll gradually add more photos.
See the watermark to differentiate the phones.
Images without watermark were captured with the Google Pixel Port (in the dark with Nightsight)
Images were captured via point and shoot, both "AI" Features are enabled. Google Pixel with HDR+
Mate 20 superior in dark but that's no surprise. Solid cam on Mi9 nevertheless.
Im not very satisfied with the camera quality. It seems like that the mi9 is doing worse compared to what I was used from my Galaxy S7 or even with my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s. Here a few pictures from yesterday. At some point the software seems to do to much magic and kills the quality. Plus, the software seems to be unstable and the camera crashed two times while taking pictures and was not able to connect again to the camera -> reboot / kill camera app and start it again.
All done with HDR Auto and AI on.

Same images as above but for what ever reason the preview does not work
WOW ! zooming into the originals and they look CRAP ! over use of oil painting effect....
I hear you - Im looking to upgrade from a S7 and picture quality is high on my list... that is not acceptable !
Are you using AI mode or other filtering options?

HDR was set to "Auto" and AI was "On". No (other) filtering was used and yes, this oil painting wheen zooming in is insane. I really hope that this is just a bug and Xiomi will fix it soon, since even the Mi Mix 2s have not had that bad image quality.

Try turning AI off - i hear that messes up the end result worse then making it better
But agree - shouldn't need to turn off a feature that other manufactures dont have issues with ...
could someone install gcam and take some images on the mi9 with that?

Great shots!
Is there any possibility to shoot RAW (DNG) photos from stock camera apk? Can anybody post RAW photo from every MI9 sensor? (especialy from 48mp)
why mi9 uses very high iso in low light?
for example when other phones settings is about 1/17sec and iso 2000, mi9 setting is about 1/14 and iso +7000 !
even redmi note 7 iso is much lower.

Interesting I thought that Mi9 is increasing iso to achive lower exposure time beacuse of lack of OIS, but dunno why other phones has the same time and lower iso while having the same aperture (about f/1.7) maybe Mi9's f/1.75 is fake?
Did you compare same light conditions photos?
PS Could someone post RAW from Mi9?
Hey all,
Since no one has started this thread. Let me kick it off.
Please share your videos you shot through Cinema Pro app.
I'm impressed with video quality of these camera(s). I was planning to get Sony a6400 for shooting cinematic travel videos. But I'm going to give this phone a try before investing. This phone won't hold a candle to top end mirrorless cameras but for a rookie, someone like me, this phone is beyond impressive. I'd say it's a great device for people who like cinematography or want to learn it.
I've shot a couple of 4k videos. Handheld and colour graded with LUTs in post processing. I prefer mobile workstation. That's why I edit all my videos on my iPad pro with LumaFusion app.
Here they are--
Weekend 17 Mile Drive
.
Los Angeles Vacation
.
Sacramento, California
This one was shot on gimbal but stabilization was turned off in Cinema Pro app which I didn't notice while recording. That's why footage is still laggy and stuttery. This one is not colour graded. Colour and looks are straight from CinemaPro app.
Also, phone was on initial firmware. Fresh out of the box.
you could put with which program you make assemblies

Thank you for the suggestion. I updated original post.
Thank you for the videos!
I still struggle to understand how this app works and what to do whith it. You said you didn't see the stabilization was off? Where do you find this setting?

Basically Cinema Pro app let's you shoot videos in manual mode. Giving you more control over lenses. You can play with shutter shutte and ISO till your scene is properly exposed and set those values. It also let's you select white balance to suit your indoor or outdoor environment.
Manual focus is very useful when you want to dramatically reveal something by going out of focus to sharp focus.
I tend to shoot all my videos in 4k at 29.98fps which I think works best for me. Also, I go with "Venice CS" look. I found that to be flatter of all looks and easier to colour grade in post processing.
You can find stabilization option when you're selecting lens(it's in tip right hand corner as seen in the attached image)

Thank you!
My trouble was you can only set iso and shutter speed manually, and before the record. That basically means you have to do different take when lights change. Not like the standard camera phone. So it's a completely whole different way of recording things.
Anyway, I did some record at a free live concert yesterday.
It was the first time and I found out that I have to be extremely careful where I put my hands on the phone to not block the microphones. Maybe putting off the cover from the phone would be even better.
Here is the video, with a lot of sound issue due to my hand on the microphones. But image is good, considering the conditions, 4K and HDR, and well stabilized in the end, it's handheld.
You even have the example of what it does on the other phones, sometimes they can't keep up with the stroboscopic lights.

I purposely choose to share this one because of the sound problem, well, that is not a problem, but a warning, be careful with the way you keep your phone in hand. I don't have this sound fluctuation on every video I've made.
