Small test album of Pics

Hi all,

I've not really taken too many pics since getting the phone on Monday so just had a quick walk around my work office on my lunch break and snapped as many different things as possible. Just left on auto with the default image settings.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vekrvryv2u9jism/TW2b-MPVbl/HTC%20One%20Test%20Pictures#/

The lense might have had a little smudge as I was holding the phone in my pocket as I walked round. Had trouble with HDRs, always seem a bit blurry when viewed online, presuming that Dropbox doesn't compress or anything.

I know the auto focus is quick, but it would have been good if there was a more visible indicator to show that lock has been achieved. For now relatively happy, though with some indoor ones, not so much. To be honest, this is only when viewed on computer. Everything on the phone itself looks fantastic.

Cheers

Jonny

This is going to make me sound seriously dumb .. but ...

you DID remember to take the plastic packing film off the lens before you used it ... didn't you ??
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
I thought the same thing but couldn't bring myself to ask it.....
[One (M7) General] BlackS0ull:
oh my god this picture looks indeed awful, I mean it's horrible :( Are you sure that you didn't do anything else, or like someone said before, did you remove that plastic from the camera?
[One (M7) General] subhumanderelict:
Can anyone tell me if there's any way to lock the focus on the One while taking pictures? I have the EVO LTE and the focus lock button is pretty much required if I want to take a decent up-close (macro) shot.

The touch-to-focus never holds long enough or doesn’t choose the area that I want to focus on. To get the shot I want, I have to trick it by locking the focus on another detail, then moving the camera back to the desired detail until it’s in focus, then take the picture.

Lol at the idiots complaining about digital zoom. Lets not emphasize the HTC One's crap megapixel count any more than we need to!!!

What moron spends the time cropping out images instead of just zooming in when taking it? Oh wait, the HTC is a fail when cropping as well, which is basically the same thing as zooming, plus ten extra steps.

You wanna see great digital zoom? Pureview 808.

This reminds me of a Nokia 900 picture thread. Crummy images with lots of praise by fanboys and anger when the defects of said images are pointed out. I've already read half a dozen mainstream reviews saying the camera sucks. Sure you gain some brigthness in pitch black settings, but indoor and outdoor can't even compete with two year old phones. Wait for someone to reply that its not a camera and I should get a real camera for pictures, in a camera thread no less, in 5....4....3....2....1
[One (M7) General] mjm128:
What 2 year old phone are you using and how the hell did I miss out on hearing about that device and owning it for myself. From picture samples I've seen the HTC One takes the best low light photos and is one of the top smartphones camera for now. It's definitely not a camera to be writing off so easily.

Back on this thread since April when I got my One. I'm still exploring camera on a daily basis and getting familiar with cons and pross. One of the main weakness of camera is light spill and clipping. Whether image goes to dark or washed out. However I've learned to get some decent result anyway. Love to shoot on a sunny day with blue skies shadow and lots of green. Perfect light condion for One.

[One (M7) General] ashouhdy:
Those were the best out of 6-8 trials for each.

You have to touch focus the area you desire and once you get it focused press the shutter button.

In those very low light conditions its very hard for any camera to get a proper focus.

So touch to focus once you feel it locked well on the scence quickly press the shutter.

Dont worry about hand shakes. The Optical image stabilization works pretty well those pics were hand held.

By the way this is Night Mode. As Normal mode tend to get little noisy.

Because normal mode raises the iso (more noise) for faster shutter.

Night mode lower the iso (less noise) and slows the shutter for better light.

Not to mentiin that my friends S4 got a completely black scene while trying to capture same scene as me :)

mmmm... i have it some how... that purple tint but not that much ... in very dim light conditions
[One (M7) General] UgXvibe:
When the camera is first started with a cold phone its great, in about 15 sec intervals the purple starts creeping in as the phone warms up.

This is a series I took starting with a cold phone with 15-20 second intervals.. First one is perfect, from then it turns to crap.

HDR is broken ; d. One X had perfect HDR (imo). I don't think that i'm right, but imo problem is in ultrapixel camera. This camera has problems with overexposure, when there is too much light.

To stay on topic :)
[One (M7) General] ashouhdy:
Guys.. this camera is unique its not an issue. This camrea has multiple metering mode activated at once. Some how near to the iphone. If u touch to focus its spot metering . If left on its own its centre weighted or matrex. Try it. And know how to deal with this great camera
[One (M7) General] ashouhdy:
First one is centre weighted ... When i touch to focus on the lamp it turns automatic to Spot metering... Hope u got it.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
You say "great camera" as if it actually would be great. Come on, it's a phone camera, and a pretty sucky one at that. Sure, takes great low light photos but that's pretty much the only positive thing. Not that I take many low light photos, though. Then again, I didn't buy this phone with the camera in mind.

[MENTION=4914682]Shan89[/MENTION] especially considering that your photos are actually compressed in upload they must look much better in original state, thanks for the backlight daylight tip, HDR always amaze at night but mostly fails in the day so backlight is an excellent tip, you solved it :good:

[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Np mate , used it on HoX as well but it kinda made pictures yellowy , also the best example or test for backlight would be trees / woods , normal mode can make them kinda dark or hdr too bright / greeny while backlight will make it perfect , also I found out that at shady photos "shade"

effect ( custom preset / white balance / click on "A" set shade ) can make awesome job adding "daylight" in a same way also improves in most cases daylight photos to be more realistic, here quick bad example lol, 1st pic normal 2nd with shade.

And yes photos are much better @ full size especially on huge tv screens , although after 4.3 my sharpness increased ( if you remember on 4.2.2 I didn't need to reduce sharpness now I have to )

that why we love him.
