I will add that I was nervous about the ability of this camera before but I've been blown away by it thus far (besides the blur issue).

Here is a macro shot I took a few minutes ago without really touching any settings or playing with any post processing. Sharpness -1, Macro mode.

How can I make a sequence shot, the one which stiches multiple frames
[One (M7) General] Sodalitas:
I'm assuming you mean making a panorama. It is automated if you change your camera mode to sweep panorama. Otherwise you would need some software to stitch it all together.

Edit: oh I think I see what you mean now. This link should help you https://support.htc.com/en-au/010-HTC_One/030/010/060

I am on my 3rd HTC one everything good people say about HTC one I'm convinced except camera quality, I can confirmed this after using 3 different HTC One (4th replacement on the way due to tiny stuck pixel and deep and slanting power button) used with two different firmware, tried few paid and free third party camera apps I also compare HTC one's camera quality with my existing Galaxy S3 and my 7.1 MP Canon Powershot A560 point-n-shot and found Galaxy S3's camera quality batter, I will do some more shootout with Canon A560 Vs S3 vs. HTC One (1.29)and post pics when I got some time, and another most interesting thing that there are some awesome software like imagenomic and its noiceware software and plugins for photoshop and paint shop pro can magically improve/remove noise, artifacts and make pics look buttery awesome & clear and make HTC one or any other low to high end camera phone's optic or post processing a hard time or true to believe, Try it and you will be more convinced or pleased with it compared to HTC One's cam quality but for my personal opinion Lumia 920's camera is still the best overall, but HTC one's camera quality is stopping me to sell my S3 I am on S3 since six months and surprisingly never need to go for root or Install custom ROM but before S3 all the model I got has gone through all rom ever created for that devices, in terms of usability and functionality S3 is still too good not for all but for many factors like ease of use and functionality like when I hold the phone in hand my thumb naturally placed on power button and 1st finger placed on volume button naturally without any single bit on finger movement and menu function is really handy unlike three dot black annoying meny bar which I never seen to implemented on any devices which unnecessary eat up the screen area, many people said power button on top because there is a Ir there but why they don't place only ir on top and power on any easy accesible side? are they did proper comfort, usability or user experience test? I still don't understand the mystery of removed option/setting function and placement of three dot menu bar and deep and top power button placement, Flipboard and Apex are far more configurable, better and and functional than Blinkfeed and Sense, I tried really hard and positively to get used to blinkfeed and HTC launcher but sadly it is no more than just a pice of scarp and pain in the ***? just imagine if Blinkfeed and HTC sense was available as standalone Playstore app how many people would like or try it? Some of the awesome creation by Dev. like waking up device with volume or soft keys are too good but missed by HTC

But its also fact and reality that no device is perfect so as HTC One but in final word it's less worse or far better than any existing devices, and my h addiction for best device is still continue but still I can say that my best device so far is still HTC One:good:

Capture a Zoe first, then click 'Edit' and then 'Retouch' and then 'Sequence Shot'. From there you can add and take away the frames.:)
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
It sounds like you prefer your S3? Why are you sticking with your HTC One out of curiosity. Is it just the rom thing because honestly the S4 sounds better for you.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Awesome speaker sound & premium look, Free Phone, Free wireless speaker worth £219, HTC Case £15, Beats Headphpne £70, only £27 month

and some discount in remaining contract price, extra £20 each coz I refer my mate to P4U, this phone cost me £344 with two year contract on full monty plan for two year, are you still reading further? that's not enough reasons? Can S4 give me all these???
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Fair enough but it seems you have gotten the one more so because of the freebies and price saving than wanting the actual phone.
[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
On the night shot you should have tapped on the neon lights to set the metering.

..."But then the picture would be too dark" you might day. Yes, it would be. But the detail is captured and you can adjust it using a program like Snapseed and have something awesome.

The good news is that the camera has a wide range of light capture. The bad news is that the camera has a wide range of light capture.

So you need to set an upper exposure limit and work down with scenes that have something very bright that is contrasting.

I won't debate whether it is a hassle , just how it is. I like getting a great shot with some work but others might not.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Some more pics just taken in full sunlight, clearly look like HTC meshed up camera and HDR with recent update

see what the HDR mode did? and again left side of the pics is loosing sharpness completely

can anybody having similar problem? and even more funny thing with update that sound from speaker is now better and more loud with Beats off
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
I'm not a dumb or rich enough to get any phone in pre-order without a reason specially when it's starting from £35 a month with some one off payment, Just imagine how people feel when they paid full price with some upfront cost and even without all of the freebies I got and some hiccup like these, This is just an advantage of offer my friend, When phone is less than 100% convincing than this kind of offer is a must to push some encouragement, Have you ever seen Iphone with any freebies or good offers?

[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
You were there, so I trust your experience. You might need to select the next brightest item in a picture as long as it doesn't mess up the focal point. I DO think there is an over exposure issue going on where the brightest brights get blown out too easily. I am not running the latest firmware as my carrier hasn't offered it (ATT - US).

Quick question: infinite focus, is there an option somewhere? I can't seem to find it.
[One (M7) General] voodoochild2008:
Hung on the ONE and SGS4....my main issue is the over exposed images...and worse still videos.

It seems the low light is better but in strong light the phone sucks, if there is a bright area its blinding, its taking in too much light, you can see some building glowing and even white skin can cause this if there is strong light hitting it (first op pics, slashgear photos, blue truck...just past truck it just glows, no detail, and woman with pram on street, buildings in background glowing)

There was an update but I dont think it changed this, you can change the expose level in the setting but I dont know if it will sort it and nor do I want to have to do this before every photo/video.

Any getting this less since update? any talk of this been looked into?

Really just wanting to know as it can swing me HTC way this year.

Thanks
[One (M7) General] ipmanwck:
I am sending my s4 back and have already re ordered the one again... Camera is really disappointing on s4 and it really does not like anything which is moving every shot i take ends up blurry!

From someone who had both phones camera on the htc is miles ahead. Cant wait for my new htc again :) hope this one is a good one though?)
[One (M7) General] john291:
Hello there look here and see what you think..

http://www.appdated.de/2013/04/samsu...oto-und-video/

I am coming from a galaxy s3 and i dont regret it..

But in very bright daylight the galaxy s4 is going to win...

But there is alot to like about the htc one.....

Its a matter of personal taste off course...

For me it was a great choice...

Also i record sometime concerts and the mic is absolutly great on the htc one!

But they have both their great things....i know its a hard decision...;)

And dont forget the great speakers on the htc one....

Ps the camera dont sucks;)
[One (M7) General] phositadc:
agree. Currently own both, and the camera is just one reason of several that the GS4 will be going back and I will be keeping the One. As I explained in One thread, almost every picture I take with the One comes out pretty good. With the GS4, they either come out excellent or complete garbage. I'll take the consistency.

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) General] Terminator19:
HTC one for me every time, most versatile phone camera there is.

Go for the GS 4 for these reasons:

- slightly better landscape photos in bright conditions

- need more MP because you crop/zoom in on photos a lot, have a very high res. monitor and/or print photos out on large paper

Reasons I would go for the one:

- slightly better macro shots by the looks of it

- better in low light/dark conditions

- very fast shutter, means you don't need as steady of a hand and have a better chance of getting a usable/non blurry photo especially in low light/dark conditions

- better audio recording overall, more so in loud environments, the one is rather quiet with normal noise levels i.e. talking, but it will improve

- a few more features overall i.e. slow motion recording and I like how zoe works

- photos are smaller (I have thousands of photos taken within a year so it all adds up)

- OIS

- video recording looks better overall (not a huge difference though)

- much larger FOV

The GS 4 can do very well at low light/dark conditions with night mode, however, it comes at a cost, slow shutter thus only useful for non moving objects and if you have a steady hand.

Some more comparisons to the GS 4:

Yeah know the good points, and I guess its just picking the shot/settings better, though I hope other updates fix/help the outdoor shots that glow brighter than the sun lol

Just an update if anyone is curious. I took the phone back and swapped it out. I've taken about two dozen photos so far and have not been able to reproduce this right side blur that I had on the last phone. I'm thrilled!

While I'm at it, here are two macro shots I snapped real quick. Macro mode, sharpness -1, auto enhance. Phone is on 1.26 firmware.
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
I've heard alot of people say this. Along with quite a few reviews saying they'd rather go with the easier and more consistent One's camera.

Glad to hear this from you as well, further supports my decision on the One. It is such a fantastic phone overall.

I will admit that some photos are nice but its very hard to conclude that the Camera is a step up from the EVO 4G LTE
[One (M7) General] NGO5:
From my experience with the One (had it for two days), the camera takes awesome pictures if you leave them on the phone. I mean truly incredible, especially at night/low-light.

Once you zoom in though, things get messy real quick. Pictures I thought looked absolutely STUNNING on the phone looked like **** uploaded to my computer at 100% crop. Obviously they made this as a social media camera, which is fine for me since thats all I've ever used my phone camera for. Pictures look awesome on Instagram/Facebook.
[One (M7) General] NxNW:
Go on, get specific. What looks bad to you?

(And if it's just edge enhancement artifacts, did you try sharpness -1? )
[One (M7) General] NGO5:
Honestly, I don't know how to describe it...but it doesn't look good, or even decent, on my Macbook Air (2012) at full-res. Very...messy/distorted? Again, it looks great if the pictures stay on the phone and you DO NOT zoom in. In fact, everyone kept saying "WOW." when I showed them pictures I took today. Seriously - they were mind-blown at the low light capabilities.

So, as a social media camera - this thing is an absolute monster. Very versatile ( fast shutter, wide-angle, awesome macro, ridiculously fast focus, insane low-light capability, small file size ).

As a replacement point-and-shoot...look elsewhere.

I was seriously ready to clown all the posters on this forum with my images from today, but once I uploaded them I can see the negative side-effects of 4MP :silly:

Tomorrow I'll try to get a replacement phone because my camera has big issues. It's UNABLE to focus on anything when taking a normal picture. As soon as I give it a particular object or person in front of it, it's able to focus on it but otherwise, it's not able to except for the bottom right corner.

Pixel count aside, I absolutely LOVE the wide-angle lense on this thing. It makes SO much more sense on a mobile phone...for example, I love how my car looks after it's been cleaned and in my garage. NO PHONE has ever been able to get that picture because of how zoomed in they look. The HTC not only gets the picture, but has room to spare. Frickin awesome.
[One (M7) General] dre22era:
To all the "One" owners have yall tried to text anyone pics taken with the "One"?

Since people are dubbing this a great social media phone in regards to viewing pics on the phone

is there further quality loss in regards to the pics being compressed when sending them to others via text?
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
Yes, it will compress the image to send via MMS. Every phone does this to one extent or another.

I can physically see a (slight) difference from the MMS photo and the full res one in my Gallery.

If you're trying to send quality via text, skip that and send a Public Dropbox link or something similar.

Exactly the same feeling. They look nice when they are zoomed out, they look terrible when zoomed in. Kind of like processing went terribly wrong. I have a decent 2k screen, and it looks particularly striking. The images here look nice but they are super tiny, most of them are less than 1/5th of my screen. Just zoom them in a little bigger and bam, looks like crap.

I think it's a tradition for HTC though and the low camera resolution only made it worse and more obvious.
[One (M7) General] gavinfabl:
Depends on the distance of the shot. For example landscapes, hardly any zooming in possible. Anything closer like in a small room, zooming is ok. Thats the design choice HTC took.
[One (M7) General] stephen2282:
I don't know how i should agree to this. But most of the pictures here taken are 100% full crop from HTC One and viewing them on my 1920x1080 Sony Vaio surely look fantastic. The colours are right on and details are at acceptable level for a 4mp camera.
