No more sharpen edges
After several tests i figureout that HTC apk.... don't take any better photo =) In my samples on HTC cam apk HDR was turned on... and on the stock one OFF.
SO... If you want less sharpened pictures in AUTO mode just turn on HDR. on your stock s7 cam-app =)
Hello to all!
I love S7 and his camera... but... over-sharpening is big prob. for auto mode.
I found in this thread HTC camera that has less sharpening than stock one.
App is rudimental no fancy working options but for point & shot is working like boss!
APK link
And here are examples.. check the edges of the buildings.
I would like to see your tests... my camera is ISOCELL.

Which photo is from which camera app?

You could try shooting in pro mode. I found this post on reddit with settings/profiles to make it less sharp looking so maybe you will like this as much as i do. (click)

Nice!

I tested for couple of days... and i can say that shared HTC camera gives better results even in stock PRO mode. (in term of sharpening edges etc)
For all users that find AUTO shots over-sharpened - just try this cam

Update 1st post...

dont experience this issue at all with the S7 flat sony sensor

Uhh, the HTC cam just took a darker photo so the halo around building edges was less obvious. Look at the other details. Sharpening is the same. Shoot Pro mode + RAW if you don't want any post-processing.

Turning on HDR is no solution for the over sharpening. It's a totally different kind of thing.
HDR can help in some situations (mostly those with dark and light in one frame), but on many situations I recommend not using HDR , especially indoors.

Also when you turn on HDR lots of people have this pinkspot problem so on the samsung sensor so HDR isn't that good.

In PRo mode you still have sharpening on edges but less... RAW is oK.

same.. =(

is there another app for video , With less sharpened video ?

Yes, luckily there is - called "Cinema 4K". Unfortunately, it doesn't support 3840x2160 for "4K" in conjunction with the S7 but the rather obscure resolution of 3264x2448 instead.
Biggest advance is the possibility to completely turn off any sharpening or noise reduction so one gets a way more "filmic" result.

A Couple Of Questions Regarding The Purchase Of A New Mate.

Good evening folks.
My Note 4 perished by cat and I've settled on a Mate 9 as my replacement phone. I have a couple of questions to those who own it before purchase though.
1.) How easy does the camera glass scratch? That was quite the issue for my Note 4. Will I require a full case to avoid image quality degradation by scratches?
2.) Are the new phone cases (not refurbished) sealed in any fashion from the factory. There are no official outlets here and I'm worried about buying a refurbished dud.
3.) Does the white version really feel like it's made out of Ceramic?
4.) I'd love to see some .dng low light / night and landscape sample images I could do some Photoshop magic on. I'm a photographer at heart and can't quite find anything but .jpegs out there.
Your help would be much appreciated! ^v^

Thank you very much for your reply! It seems that the raw files can't be opened in my favorite DXO Optics Played around with some Photosop. It seems quite formidable to preserve details, but I see some noise in the recovered shadows / flat dark areas. The white balance errs a bit on the cool side of things. And you have a very comfy looking sofa, that made me feel sleepy :>I guess I'll just have to get used to it. My main interests are weather photography, as well as landscapes. I am sure I can make it work for my purposes.
Does a lens correction profile exist for this camera at all?

I do mean correction of lens geometry and I guess vignetting as well yes. Does such a thing even exist for this model? In all other aspects it seems to be mostly like a professional camera. I also mean that Photoshop does not have the correction information for the shot, like say Nexus 6P has (at least judging by the list of supported cameras in PS).

In Photoshop there is lens correction in filters menu.
Yes exif data is not available,maybe need an updated camera raw software.
In my opinion the camera is very good and using the manual mode you can easily take great photos.

I also noticed that the JPEG processing algorithm does wonders to reduce the noise! Alas I'm very obsessed over shooting everything in .dng / RAW!
There is lens correction, but I can't find support for this phone / lens combination. Without such a profile the correction is useless. EXIF data is all there, as far as I can see with IrfanView and it all looks legit. Phone model, exposure time, F-Stop, etc. Why would you say EXIF isn't available? Can't you see it?

I couldn't see it in Photoshop but with acdsee pro it's there.
I was comparing the raw files from my p9 and it seems they are better than mate 9.
Not sure why but i will do more test tomorrow.

Yeah, soon 0200 in the night and I'ms till awake. All those thoughts swarming in my head. Another thing I'd love to see is dark noise comparison. So ISO 100, 30-second exposures with the lenses closed with both P9 and Mate 9. That's quite an important figure in photography. What do the sensors show, when there's nothing to show.

Try doing the test with 1.1x zoom as well. I heard the image quality improves quite a bit. Seems that the JPEG is made from both sensors and the .dng from only one?

I did a quick enhance on those dark images in Photoshop and it seems indeed that the two phones run completely different imaging hardware. The P9 had a bit of amp glow on the top and bottom of the image, while the Mate 9 had a darker circle in the middle and overall much less noise. Very interesting, also none of those two files had EXIF in them this time. Not sure what to think about it all. Am I just doing silly things?

Another question I have before purchase is would it be possible to tell of a re-branded version, if I aim to get the EU 64GB one? May I get a re-flashed Chinese one instead? Is there a surefire way to tell of a genuine L29 was it?

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus 5 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!

OnePlus did themselves a disservice, by hyping this camera as much as they did. It's a fine camera, more or less (for this price point).

Does a fine job to me..

They just need better post-processing algorithms.

no problems at all over 200 photos taken since owning and Im very happy with the quality of the photos.... remember its a phone with a camera most pics will be shared to social media and forgotten about.

Not better than the oneplus 3. Take a look of my post here

Maybe if your thirteen years old yes. I would say... remember it's a phone with a camera that will replace point and shoot camera's and even a DSLR when going on a trip with family. Pictures won't be forgotten and should at least be on par with galaxy and pixel of last year.

Hi, Oneplus 5 owners
There are some reviews where they talk about poor and dificult focus when you use the zoom.
Is that real?

Lowlight camera purple glare

Can someone check if their OP6 shows a purplish glare while focusing dark objects in low light enviroment?
It only does this in low light, and only while it is focusing. During daytime or normal light doesn't show any purplish glare.
Thanks!!!

Your camera may be defective or you installed some kind of an app that does that.
OP will ask you to reset the phone, if you asked for support. But first try to reset the camera app?

Screen green tint?

When I place Poco F2 pro right next to LG G8 the Poco F2 pro is obviously more green. I just used a page of xda to compare. Its much worse when viewed at an angle. When I had LG v30, I had 2 and one of them was green the other had a beautiful accurate screen. So I know this could be a quality control issue. I wonder if it's just my device that has this problem or do you guys have it too? Actually it might be caused by the screen protector too, has anyone taken it off? What do you see?

It must be quality control issue. Both my k20 Pro and K30 pro Zoom edition have beautiful screen. The note 7 Pro is terrible (LCD screen). I also have iPhone SE (2020) it has worse screen.

It looks like we are the unlucky ones. I am almost certain it's a quality control issue now, because of the above comment and if you look at some unboxing video on YouTube, you can see the youtubers have the correct display.

Also, the tint is not exactly green but yellowish too. Somewhat in between. But when I look at an angle, it's mostly green

I did a better comparison today with daylight.
I do use glass screenprotector but i dont think it has any negative effect. The screen has noticable color shift (wave like) when you look phone screen from the right. From other sides its OK.
Edit: i compered to my k20 pro and iPhone SE (2020). The k20 Pro has also color shift from the right (same pattern wave like) but way less than my K30 Pro Zoom edition. iPhone SE has maybe little color shift to the blueish-magenta color.
I tested on white background with full brightness on all phones. On straight on view all 3 phones have no green or yellow color wave shift.
Edit2: I did have green tint on K20 Pro when i installed 75 Hz mod in low brightness. Thats why i removed it

In fact when I try to take pictures with my LG g8 to compare to yours. My phone actually shows a more correct color in both cases although in my eyes it's the opposite. That means G8's camera has a bad color shift.

On my device I do not see green tint but I have black crush which the only way to make it go away is to enable dc dimming and using automatic or saturated mode. Also on light gray colors i see that the screen is not uniform. It is a bit more bright on top and bottom. Mi9t had a lot better screen... Disappointed totally.

I got a Poco F2 Pro piss edition...
Waiting on my second one, hope this will be okay. Else this was my first and last xiaomi device.
Depending on the brightness it is better or worse. But even at 100% it is notable on everything from white to grey. All apps show this Problem.
