The same here. And sunny pictures are not easy to take, definetly auto mode is not producing good results in these circumstances. Here are some of my attemps. Seems they are quite a lot but just want your opinion, maybe tips. Thanks!

1 Macro, 2 Night mode, 3 Sunny, -1 sharpness, autoenhance, 4 Indoors, auto default, 5 Day, HDR, 6 Sunny day, auto default, 7 Night, HDR, 8 Sunny, auto. sharpness -1

The place is really dark but I'm quite amazed how well the camera managed to capture with the photos.

More night shots....

I learnt 1 thing from the camera during the night.... Different focus point will results in overall picture illumination. If you tap on a source where light is good, the rest of the photo will appear darker as the sensor is reading from the brighter source. However, if you tap away to a darker area, the sensor will adjust the light amount to that point. So, taking good night shots with H1 really test your skills.
[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
That and pic will be sharper if focusing on light source. Tested multiple times, works every time.

I'm I the only one getting these purple artifacts/whatever in pictures? Took ~160 photos yesterday, on a perfectly sunny day, 95% of them were blurry or had this purple thingy. On whiskers, tree branches, ropes, water, whatnot.

Really disappointed about the camera, some of the pictures I took looked like it was shot with HTC Desire or something.

Ultrapixel = 3x light so the low light are incredible but the already bright parts will be overexposed. Let's hope that some tweaks can repair that.

I'm guessing that you meant this review?

I've noticed the same thing and I was really suprised as in other reviews it's color reproduction was really close to DSLRs that used in reviews. But there was a mistake. The reviewer accidentally used HTC DNA's samples as HTC One's but he fixed it later. You might wanna check again.
[One (M7) General] dors1234:

some of the pics are good, other some looks less.

actually, it doesn't gonna change anything for me.. as i've already made an order for this phone. :)

my only concern is about the rumor of the slow rate of release the next android version with all HTC's devices.

[One (M7) General] marmarm:
Yeah, i've noticed that many reviewers said that when there is low light it's very impressive camera but when you are outside and light is just ok the pics are just bad in many cases....it's good to have great low light camera but still, more than 50% of pics that i take are outside with normal light conditions....Just checked latest camera comparison posted on phonearena yesterday....the first picture taken outside is just bad...
[One (M7) General] louis23:
Manual controls?

Yup agreed. However tapping on the source will also focus on that point, while adjusting the exposure as well. It would be great if there is a camera app that allows for separate focus and exposure controls, like Camera+ on the iOS.

PS. that is vivocity in Singapore! haha. wonderful shots.

Tip: If you're taking a photo of still life, and I mean STILL life, try Pro Capture. It has a Reduced Noise mode which averages 2 shots for a much cleaner photo. Works amazingly well. Can use it with portraits too, assuming your subjects can hold still for a second.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
It's called purple fringing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_fringing). Happens often with good lenses as well, let alone smartphone lenses. Try to avoid high contrast between dark objects and very bright background.
[One (M7) General] Florin82:
Hey guys. Just wanted your opinion on these photos. All are with sharpness -1 and no manual focus + first is completely on auto mode, second has +1 to contrast, third has daylight white balance selected and fourth is HDR mode. Do you think i should expect them to be better, crisper with more detail or is this the normal performance of the camera?

I think I have a affected camera. Look at this photos I have taken, all of the are blurry from the both sides, it's only sharp in the center, also at night i can notice a purple tint all over the photo look, do you think I can reclaim a warranty for this? Even if I bought the phone on craigslist? My phone is an AT&T HTC one. Also when using night mode the camera literally freezes. It gets really lag
[One (M7) General] Fille84:
I think this is pretty much how this camera works. Blurry sides and the purple thing is normal :good:
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Definitely something wrong. In the first photo, you can see that objects on the same plane as sharp ones are blurry. Have you tried a different camera app to see if it's the app or hardware?

I would rate my HTC ONE's camera a 9/10 :). I would REALLY love if it had just abit more mega/ultrapixels in it, but that's OK. No problem for me with the 4MP either. It takes great photo's, i just would want to have abit more details in picture's, but its OK. If it had 6-10MP (ultrapixels) camera, i would give it a 10/10.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
If lens is clean, then go ahead and exchange it.
[One (M7) General] Tuborg68:
Hey guys! How do you keep the camera lens clean? I'm worried I will end up like with the Desire where cleaning too much in wrong way made the lens (the covering glass) go dim due to bad anti reflection stuff. On the Desire this could be fixed by buying a new battery cover or popping out the glass. A bit harder to do this on the H1.

Even though I've tried to be really careful with the handling and cleaning, I'm starting to notice micro scratches on the camera glass after a month only.

[One (M7) General] Fille84:
Read earlier posts and you see that is very common with sides being blurry and the purple tint in low light shots. Think Ive read that it has to do with the lens of the HTC One or something.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Actually, a lens that is only sharp in the center is what we'd call a crap lens ;P The blurriness in his shots aren't caused by narrow depth of field (desirable). See how the remote is evenly sharp from left to right?

[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Nice shots, but definitely reveal one of the One's weaknesses. 9x16 is just a really odd ratio. If you crop to 2x3, you'll lose a good number of pixels. First and third will look much better cropped.
[One (M7) General] querfelda:
great photos at all!
[One (M7) General] mky4b11:
Are the people experiencing purple tint using a phone case? Sometimes depending on the lighting, the lens will capture reflective lighting from the case, although minimal, can cause lens flare/streaking. Especially shots using the flash.
[One (M7) General] erik111111:
It would be helpful if you post the ISO and shutter speed with these shots. That way knowledgeable people can assess the light level and have a better idea of what the issues are.

Regarding the red hallway, I am assuming that the light was low enough that an iPhone would not register anything, so which would you prefer?

You keyboard may be black, but the light reflecting off it may cause a cast in photos. I find that the one often overexposes low light photos and you are better off either tapping on a brighter area to reduce the exposure, or if that isn't possible set exposure to -1. Sometimes, if you don't want motion blur in low light, you may have to manually set a higher ISO. Also try HDR in some of these instances.

Once you mess around with those things you will begin to figure out how to get the best of the camera. If you just point and shoot, you wont get the best of the camera.
[One (M7) General] VictorC:
[MENTION=246696]erik[/MENTION] I edited and put shutter speed and ISO for the photos

Regarding my keyboard.... I didn't find it necessarily to post a comparison photo taken with ( SGS2 or One X) that show clear black keys... Trust me, the whole ambient was full of enough light so that the camera can return black in the resulting photo.

Regarding the last photo (the red hallway), let me show you another picture from the thread I mentioned in my previous post:

And no, I don't want to compare this picture with other phones (my old One X barely even captured the light at the end of the hall), but the red noise is what's bothering me.... I've seen pictures here, posted by other users, taken in similar scenarios where black was black (or almost)...
[One (M7) General] erik111111:
Well, the thing I notice in all your shots is extremely low shutter speeds. At shutter speeds of 1/20 or less you have to be rock steady to get good results. It helps to use burst mode or zoe to help with such low speeds.

Now, why are the speeds so low? Have you set a limit on ISO? The one can take pretty good shots at ISO 1000 or so and even up above 1900 in some cases, but noise will progressively increase at 1000 or more. But if you have these issues setting a higher ISO should get you a higher shutter speed.

Regarding the keyboard - as I said, the one tends to over-expose. Try the same shot with -1 exposure.

Regarding why the hall was red in one instance vs the other, I have no idea, but there must be some difference in the shots, right? Either different mode or different exposure point selected? Were the ISO and speed the same?
[One (M7) General] VictorC:
In all shots there were all auto settings (either normal, night or HDR).

(I took pictures in the same setting of my keyboard with several other devices and none turned out as grainy and noisy as the one's. And, as I said, the light was plenty so that the other photos looked ok and were packed with detail...)

In the last picture, its the same shot (moment), taken at a few seconds interval. Same focus point selected...

But lets not waste time on the last photo. I agree that that is an extreme case posted here just to show other users of a potential problem....

Lets just look at the other night shots (some with plenty of light) that are flooded with blue, purple or reddish noise... Some normal, some night shots (all on auto settings and no dirt on the camera lens -> all best out of several shots)...
[One (M7) General] erik111111:
Well, all I can say is I agree they don't look good. They all look like they are overexposed, which results in more noise, less dark blacks and fuzzy look. If I get shots that look like that I adjust the settings. You asked for input, I gave you what works for me.

You may try lower exposure, either by using a brighter point in the picture or exposure -1.

Also, you say there was plenty of light, but if so, you shouldn't shoot at 1/7, 1/12, 1/17 or preferably 1/20 sec. This will cause less sharp images.

The camera is capable of much better, but you may have to work with it and get experience or maybe you have a bad unit?

Good luck.
[One (M7) General] mky4b11:
Some of my night shots.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
1. Regarding that last shot, was it the last shot after extensive testing? Could've been sensor overheating if that was the case. You get hot pixels when doing long exposures even on pro cameras.

2. As for the tint, I find that the HTC One's auto white balance isn't very good. *shrugs* especially with indoor/artificial lighting. And basically that's what causing all the blue and red tint you see.

3. There was far from "enough light" if you get those shutter speeds at ISO 1000+.

4. Again, the One's dynamic range is NOT that good. You'll often have to choose whether to clip highlights and shadows (when HDR isn't possible). I usually choose to clip shadows. That way, at least I'll get a faster shutter speed.

PS: I would be more concerned with the blurriness in top left corner of the 3rd photo. Looks like a tilt effect... And, honestly, my eyes hurt just looking at those night photos. There are so much shakiness due to slow shutter speed. Bad WB is fixable, shaky shots aren't.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
To all who commented on the said photo's of [MENTION=5235636]VictorCozmei[/MENTION]

There's 2 things I know that's causing this.

1. There are 2 sensor variants(or at least 2types) of HTC One.

2. Our sensors are miscalibrated.

The issue is due to the different color temperature reading of our phones. Apparently those HTC Ones with these pink issues tend to capture photos with very cool color temperatures and when it's pointed to pitch black or pure white environments it tends to push the saturation even more.

I just came to our local store dealer here and made 10 HTC One comparisons! lol! I tend to notice that those with the red tint issue has a much cooler results when shot in daylight whilst those that don't have the red tint issue has a yellowish feel on daylight shots.

Now I can assure you guys lowering the color temperature of these units would fix the issue it's just that the color temperature setting is hardcoded in the camera firmware. So I suggest those with the same issue contact HTC so they could provide a software fix for these.
[One (M7) General] chmun77:
Hey, this is a nice shot! Btw, could you please elaborate what's the meaning of "choose whether to clip highlights and shadows"?? I'm curious to know about this. Thanks and appreciated! :)
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
It means you'll have to choose whether to lose details in the brightest area (highlights) of the shot, or the darkest area (shadows). I choose to clip shadows to preserve highlights. My image adjustment is set to -1 for exposure.
[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
Exactly my problem. Using my case and flash gives horrendous artefacts.

Without case that's just perfect though.

[One (M7) General] BlackS0ull:
this my friend is a very good picture, very good indeed.
[One (M7) General] VictorC:
1. No extensive testing. Picked up the phone that was lying on my bed for at least 30 minutes, went in the hallway, opened the camera. Point to focus at the end of the hallway where the light is. Shots the pictures.

2. I have noticed that the auto WB is sometimes awful, but manually changing it in night shots didn't make a difference. Still noisy, still blue, purple or red, no matter what WB setting I choose.

3. In similar conditions where my One pulled an 1000+ ISO I could get a better looking picture with my One X or with an iPhone 4 (albeit with less light in them, but with no blue/red/purple tint and noise).

About the "shaky shots". These we're my best attempts. I shot 4-5-6 times and tried my best not to move at all (not even breathe). Do i need a tripod for a shot with no blur or shake? I've seen a lot of photos in the thread from many users taken in similar scenarios with less noise and less blur (or shakiness) :(
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Can you easily replicate the problems? If yes, I strongly recommend getting an exchange. I have yet to experience such horrible tint.

As for getting "better" shots with different phones in lowlights, that's because they're setting the exposure differently. You said iPhone shots are darker that means they're using a faster shutter speed at the same ISO. That will give you less shaky images at the expense of the exposure. That's why I set my One's setting to -1 for exposure.

Anyway, exchanging it is your best bet.
