This is my 3rd unit, still same.. Not sure if im going for 4th one.

but i took image on day light.. so it must give better result right?
[One (M7) General] skwieradee:
First is a photo i couldnt add yesterday... The other one i took before, also not pretty good, all auto and normal mode
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
I have the exact same problem. Started happening recently though, after the kernel sources upgraded to the g.e kernel sources
[One (M7) General] cool_dhamz:
Hmm so its not a hardware issue? Seems a kernel level bug then. Ill wait for a week and then decide for a doa..

Are you sure you dint have it before?

[One (M7) General] Corduroy-21:
The first one is not very good but the conditions are not also very good. You have a middle area which is relatively dark, then you have an area to the left which is full of light and then the one at the right which again has lots of light. It's not easy for the camera to take this photo.

The second one is very bad indeed. Where did you focus?

[One (M7) General] skwieradee:
Damn i cant remember where i tapped but on this one i tapped on sleeve, it is 21:40 so quite dark and only a city lamp on my right. I tried many times in this conditions and i cant get a decent picture:/
[One (M7) General] Corduroy-21:
Well this is not so bad considering it's dark. But yes, until now I haven't seen one photo that could be considered as clear.

Also have in mind that where you tap does not only define focus but also exposure.

So when you tap to something white, the photo will be less exposed and become darker.
[One (M7) General] erik111111:
It's called purple fringing, and it is a lens issue, and it happens on all cameras to some extent. It occurs mainly at dark edges with bright backlighting, which is exactly what your picture shows. It can be fixed with editing software.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_fringing for more info.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Just how dark was it when you took this picture? If it was really low light, then it is probably fine. You can't expect magic. What were the image details, ISO/shutter speed?

This question is available also for all of you, which APP you are using in general for editing photos??

thanks !
[One (M7) General] Calavaro:
I transferred the pics to my laptop and used Photoshop.

I like to use Photoshop Touch on the phone sometimes, but I'm much more comfortable with the desktop full version.
[One (M7) General] mky4b11:
I use snapseed. And shoot - 1 on sharpness and contrast usually
[One (M7) General] BlackS0ull:
thanks a lot guys for the answers, I'm using also SnapSeed and Aviary :D

[MENTION=225459]Calavaro[/MENTION] yes mate, if you do like this, for sure some not great photos on the phone, with a little bit touch from Photoshop will look much better :D

Hello guys! Nice thread here.

It would be cool if anyone will provide info about third-party cameras.

Is it actually possible to tweak settings of Camera FV-5 (for ex.), and make images look better then on stock HTC One camera?
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
If you were talking to me, then thanks! It really helps to have great lighting when taking your photos. I just boosted saturation and brightness a little for that bloom effect. Then added a tilt-shift blur. Everything done in Snapseed within a few minutes.

[One (M7) General] erik111111:
I was pretty disappointed in FV-5. Although it has on screen adjustments, the output disappointed me. YMMV
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Procapture is great. I don't see any improvement in normal shooting mode but Reduced Noise mode is awesome.
[One (M7) General] KromerX:
So, procapture doesn't have this over-exposure and purple tint effect, as well, as focus and blur problems discribed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1652642?
[One (M7) General] AllAboutTheCore:
Reduced Noise mode is only HDR, the Sense camera already does this pretty well.

I tried ProCapture and I didn't rate it at all. The pictures didn't look half as good as the ones I've taken with the Sense camera, IMO.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
You're using it wrong (or don't understand what it is) if you think Reduced Noise mode is HDR. Yes, it's similar to HDR in the way it blends multiple shots into one but that's about it. HDR blends different exposures to cover a wider dynamic range, Reduced Noise blends multiple shots with the same exposure but different noise patterns to get a less-noisy image.

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/image-averaging-noise.htm
[One (M7) General] AllAboutTheCore:
I don't need a lecture on what it is, I'm not using anything wrong. The app is in no way better than the Sense camera, if you think it is then fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion. Yes, it's not strictly HDR, maybe I should have worded it better but the fact remains it works in a very similar way ... The truth is, it doesn't give any better results than using stock.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
One more time, anybody who knows anything about photography will tell you that Reduced Noise is not HDR. HDR stands for high dynamic range and has nothing to do with noise level. Reduced Noise mode has everything to do with noise and nothing to do with dynamic range. These two are similar in the way that a fork is similar to a spoon.

I never said Procapture was better than the Sense camera app either so don't put words in my mouth. I said Reduced Noise mode is awesome, which it is.

I don't want to lecture anyone, but you gave me no choice when you blurted out false info.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Here are two samples taken seconds apart. One with ProCapture and Reduced Noise. One with Sense camera app. Which is better? Be sure to view 100%. There's a clear winner.

[One (M7) General] valdigre:
Hi guys,

Sorry to going a bit off topic, but I was wondering if you could recommend some good Camera app (or you think that the HTC Sense one is superior).

I am not satisfied with the HDR photos on the stock app, as well as other photos (especially overblown whites in bright, sunny day).

I tried Snap Camera after reading so many good opinions, however I was surprised how bad the photos came in HDR. I appreciate having possibility to choose your point of focus in hdr, however most photos in hdr came much worse than the ones in stock app anyway.

Your experiences?
[One (M7) General] Corduroy-21:
Perfectly Clear is a nice app for editing pictures and it also has the option to take photos but I'm not sure if it is better.

PicsArt can also take pictures if I remember correctly.

In my opinion the best solution is to learn to use the camera better, learn its tweaks, its capabilities and then use slight editing.

You will get good results.

One with 4.2.2 Why does a small MB photo and data?

900 kB - 1.8 MB

From other manufacturers 2-3 MB and more. Compression is not good :(

Maybe about HTC should know. HTC ONE photo. I quote:

, and last night I was looking at the pictures you sent me Musashi. to detect the information I used Zoner Photo Studio 15 Professional. and I discovered an amazing thing:

One camera in a sam apart Software "overstates" Automatic camera settings to a higher value, which - logically - reduces the quality of photos.

ISO is the set of all the photos in Auto mode at ISO125 - this is the first oddity. Why images which are taken in the sun, outside, sideways to the sun, why I ISO125? Why do set higher ISO where it's not needed and conversely it can be harmful? and why the value of 125, which is not used? why not 200?

Another key notch in quality as white balance, therefore, the same familiar AWB mode where you One to its fundamental value "0" to add for some reason at 8.35 the same picture - which is too bad, then logically light object (in this case white dog on green grass) seem very far-fetched ...

More interesting is it blurry photos on edge. come to me like a defective lens. File seems to me that there is automatically set to the AV mode, which suppresses the background and accentuate the foreground ... but here is unclear, because of course, wrong glass, a similar effect could also do. but I'd be inclined to do it again software issues.

information from those pictures I got quite a lot, actually just confirmed what I say from the beginning, what is this topic here began discussing:

You can not replace quality chip some software - it is simply in terms of physics totally unrealistic. Moreover, it is necessary to count on the fact that the technical specifications HTC One says it clearly: chip has a 5MP camera. I already asked our technique a few times, but I still never explained what "ultrapixel" ...

If I understand at least a little cameras, then give you the information above will be sufficient to enable you to appreciate the level at which the quality of photos taken by HTC One.,,

[One (M7) General] mky4b11:
I personally do because I like to edit my photos and sharpen in post processing . The flatter the image the better for editing. The HTC sharpening algorithm seems a little aggressive to me.
[One (M7) General] Corduroy-21:

Still can't decide what's best for night shots.

Auto increases ISO a bit too much I think. This is ISO 743 for example.

However it is pretty good considering the conditions. All the iPhone users had to use their flash.

about the ZOO pictures - some are good and some are less good, the video is really nice.

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

If you're digital zooming on a phone, you're doing it wrong. Get a real camera if you have to zoom. They shouldn't even include zoom. It'll never take great pictures, and it never has.

A quick night shot with only some light behind me. I took it without touching to focus first and it came up a little blurry. HTC One must improve the continuous auto focus as some times it hunts too much and you can get slight blurry shots if you just press the shutter button.

View attachment 2159101
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
there is a solution, keep holding touch to lock your focus
[One (M7) General] ajua:
I was not referring to lock focus, but the ability of the camera to achieve proper focus (centered, infinity, using the center area of the viewfinder) before snapping a photo when using only the shutter button. This is very similar to enabling the "Touch to focus" setting, but not identical.

I wish the One had a physical two-step shutter button.
