Re: [PHOTOS][POLL][15 March]Share photos clicked from HTC One

Hope this works. Three photos. First normal, second HDR, third -2 sharpness
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
the HDR photo is very nice

but the first and third are useless mate your hand is shaking

we need a perfect still shot so we can compare edge detail

but from what i see, you just confirmed to me the so called "HTC over aggressive sharpness" can be disabled

can you try one more time

just sharpness 0 vs sharpness -2
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
People who are complaining about photos, it is just because of some unskilled people who can't take a shot properly, I think we've seen enough examples to be perfectly sure about One's camera quality. If you don't wanna buy it, don't buy it but I don't think One's camera has anything to be critisized.

ONLY thing that can be considered bad is the fact that you can't take big pictures, big enough to print it on a canvas or see on your television. And to be honest, I don't really think anybody does that. We are in the age of socialmedia, you know what you gonna use your phone's camera for.
[One (M7) General] sebsal:
Re: [PHOTOS][POLL][15 March]Share photos clicked from HTC One

First default, second -2 sharpness
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yup sharpened edges can be disabled completely and ofcourse you get a soft look especially with 4MP (i still think your hand was shaking in the second photo because it has motion blur)

funny how not one reviewer testing the camera and nagging about sharpness, didn't even look at the options

i think sharpness -1 is the sweet spot

would be a lot better to compare them outdoor
[One (M7) General] dors1234:
man the HDR picture look very good.

did it requires to be with an absolute steady hand during the shot?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
Re: [PHOTOS][POLL][15 March]Share photos clicked from HTC One

Now now boys, get your **** together. We see hundreds of amazing shots and if some bad shots appear, you guys start to doubt the camera. As dharkan said, these may be clicked a little unprofessionally
[One (M7) General] fidelcstrl:
The HTC One camera is win if you know how to take a picture properly. I think I'll put sharpness to -1 and that will be perfect.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
no need for steady hands with the HTC image sense devices

he must have moved as he pressed the shutter

remember these are the very fastest shutter times on mobile camera

you only need to hold still when you click the shutter for the perfect shot

as for HDR once the word "processing" appears you can let go
[One (M7) General] sebsal:
Not really. It take HDR much quicker than it did on the One X
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:

http://www.computerbase.de/pic-dl.php?pic=48139-44

you will be amazed, i think sharpness is essential with a 4MP sensor

since it not so sunny we dont have exposure issues in these photos we can see a great dynamic range, but remember exposure is ultimately in your control, since we have seen its over exposing in bright areas, we can simply lower it at -1

i personally finde even sharpness 0 not nearly as agressive as their old devices, on the One X even sharpness -2 did not kill the over sharpness

in the case here the default 0 is like the -2 on the One X

i think its an amazingly balanced camera, low light gains are worth any sacrifice, you still have 2x the pixels on the One X, there is no escaping that fact

again -1 must be the sweet spot

[One (M7) General] NxNW:
Funny I just took a couple pictures of a dragonfly today also. I noticed at the time they are good examples of how the HTC One camera has bad "bokeh" according to the *true* meaning of the word bokeh.

Bokeh does not simply refer to the out of focus areas of a picture due to shallow depth-of-field (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field).

Maybe people use it that way now, but it originally referred to the *quality* of the blurriness. Some lenses produce a more pleasing blurriness than others.

The Oxford dictionary defines bokeh as; "the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens". Dictionary.com defines it as "a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image."

While the HTC One's camera is notable because the geometry of its larger sensor allows more blurriness (the useful kind that helps the in-focus subject stand out) it actually has poor "bokeh" by this definition, as shown in my pictures.

The upper left areas of both pictures show out of focus backgrounds that contain "too much information". They are not "out of focus enough".

They exhibit the same artifacts as shown in the example picture (and "figure 1") at http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/bokeh.htm

If you want more detail, better bokeh or whatever get your DSLR and do it.

[One (M7) General] townay:
Maybe you misunderstood me. I wasn't overreacting. What I meant was that current gen phones all give poor bokeh. We really can't defy physics. If we need better bokeh, we going to have to deal with a massive bump or knob for the lens to stick out.

But one thing's for sure, phone cameras have come a long way and it's pictures have improved by a large margin given it's sensor size. We can hope to expect someone comes out with a new tech to further improve it. That said, Sony's honami is said to have improved bokeh via it's built camera software. Here's to hoping we get a port once honami hits the shelves.

[One (M7) General] Try4Ce:
Intense shots you got there mate.

I mainly go with Photoshop as well after shooting. The HTC One captures quite alot pixel information so even in camera raw you can work wonders on your shots. I did alot of touch up already and if you do a little post procession work, you images can look stunning.

Here is a small gallery of photos I took while visiting some friends in Nürnberg. Beautiful city.

Of course I did some retouching work with Photshop, but the original images came out quite nice already, so not much work needed.

[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
Use Night Mode. It reduces the ISO but lowers the shutter speed as well.

Definitely. Bokeh is "intense" on our f/2 lens, but they are not clean nor milky soft. It's harsh, but that's all we're gonna get with a single(?) element lens and very low diaphragm count. Here's for hoping for an 8-blade diaphragm lens soon :P

[One (M7) General] ANX13TY D1S0RD3R:
Messed around a bit with the flash in lowl light settings and i think the purple-ish tone comes from when you take a picture of something and there's alot of depth behind it, for example if you put a statue on your table and take a photo of it, the background will be misscolored.

Will try the camera some more when i get out to our summer place, alot of nature and water around there.

[One (M7) General] Corduroy-21:
Didn't see the other photo, sorry. If the photo was in low light maybe you were moving your hand a bit?

When there is low light two things may happen. ISO increases (So you get more noise) and shutter stays open for longer time (so you need to be more still).

Find a good focal point (one that will give you decent exposure) keep your hands still and take the photo. Also what was the light like?

Can't say if your camera is faulty only by seeing one photo. I need to see more. Post them here. Also try with the night mode.
