in theory it should be possible to set ie 30sec exposure but im unable to debug the device properly there some lib where anything over 4.9 gets cut.

the hal lib had the limit that said max expo 4sec blah blah bypassed that then in the actual driver lib there was the gain calculation thats used to set exposure time i doubled that so that leaves q3core lib which has the AE Configs so maybe a rom dev can enable the cam libs logging.

the other thing about camera 2 i think perhaps replacing libcamera_client and camera_services from aosp or g4 with same android version should make it work.

the limiting lib for camera 2 api is camera.msm8994.so it has to be hal 3 and the m9 hal lib is hal 3

[One (M9) General] defcomg:
you could use freedcam to shoot timelapse video.

i did this modfied media_profile.xml

Look for TimeLapseHigh

change res to 3840x2160

and bitrate to 200mbps

in freedcam set fps it determines capture rate ie 1 fps captures after one second.

you can reduce contrast ,sharpness saturation for a more flatter video much better for post

[One (M9) General] neo905:
M9 matches the S6 in daylight photos now but not lowlight or poor indoor lighting. The video stabilization on the M9 has vastly improved since the launch. I honestly don't think it was even turned on before. Exposure levels are better during video as well. The S6 is still better overall but only in specific circumstances now. The S6 also launches and snaps photos way faster and accurately still

[One (M9) General] ph0b0z:
Since the N5X was announced i'm now trying to decide which device to buy next (coming from a Nexus 4..), i was interested in the M9 as well a long time and especially this thread still makes me not dismissing it because of the camera. :)

I think about the N5X, the Moto X Play (i normally want to stay below 5.2"), the M9 or maybe even the S6, BUT

- i'd like front facing speakers

- i know the M9 is great in loud environments

- the screen size of the M9 is perfect

- well, updates in the future, you never know.

- most likely no RAW support for the MXP

Since the Moto X Plays camera is kind of great in bright light, i'd be very interested in some samples in room lightning and low light with the latest M9 update. Preferably without RAW and handheld, since i know you can get very good results with RAW and a tripod. :)

Thanks a lot for the existing samples and discussion, esp. to [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION].
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
yes in daylight its all lovely, in low light it's impossible to get good shots in point and shoot, however manual mode, RAW and HDR are highly effective in low light, the biggest issue in low is slight fuzziness to the colors and lack of OIS

Camera FV5 queries

Has anyone here tried the extended shutter speed on the M9 with Camera FV-5 ?

IIRC, the max shutter speed was 5 seconds, however I took a picture of a clock with a ticking second hand shows it is able to go to 60 seconds (or more).

Also, when trying this feature out, there is no EXIF details for shutter speed etc. Taking a shot with normal (auto) setting and the EXIF details are complete.

Anyone else able to verify this?

here are some samples with the HW mod, lazy shots last night as i was testing it in low light, highly effective as long as you cap the ISO to 400

this is a phenomenal upgrade over the ****ty stock HTC auto mode quality especially in low light, in fact the M9 camera is now perfect except in two areas: lack of auto HDR and the lack of OIS, as in low light it's still very hard not to motion blur your image

HTC One M9 with HW denoise mod vs iPhone 6s Plus (photo samples thanks to [MENTION=5224400]OGhoul[/MENTION])

note: the M9 is using my recommended settings (sharpness -1 and medium resolution), the iPhone has auto HDR disabled

anyway long story short the M9 easily wins in detail (you can get even more detail with default sharpness and higher resolution) but iPhone is gorgeously balanced as usual, the M9 still needs auto HDR

the following photo demonstrate it well, immensely more detailed on the M9 if you zoom at 100% but overall the iPhone offer a much more pleasant image

Dear [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION]

i am so amazed by these shots, your information and instructions helped me alot, last week i did a photo fight with my brothers iphone 6s, and guess what, my bad m9(in may family eye) destroy this iphone 6s, not because i root i didnt root, only because i followed your advises and other members advises here, for example the interior shot using HDR zooming to the corner light and locking the focus is amaaaazing. indeed the m9 photo b4 this trick is leaking the light in all over the area.

i want you please to tell me how do you manage to get the above shots? i mean why your shots are waaaay better than mine, is it because i am not rooted? and i need to apply certain things?

my update is 2.10

i set my camera res to medium / sharpness -0.5 and 10:7 ratio

what else is important ? appreciate your huge development to the M9 community :)
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
auto focus

point your phone toward the target and shoot, if the focus fails lower the phone and then raise it back up, in other words never select the target with your finger or smart metering will break

always always cap the ISO to 400, ofcourse these shots are amazing because its mostly in the sun
[One (M9) General] imOJ:
Dear [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION]

i tried my very best to shoot, even borrowed a stand for the phone to ensure 100% steady shots, yes some photos look nice but nothing popped up or shiny crystal like the above photo of you.

i am now not touching the screen to focus, only raise it up and down till i get the right dynamic/view then shoot. but still not happy with the result

do you think the difference between me and you now is the root? denoise and other stuff? i would like you also to advise us what to use on psx and what to avoid using so we dont damage our photos with more noise reduction etc

what do you think?

the other good news, is that HTC promised the RAW editor and Auto enhance from the A9 to come to the other devices, M9 being the flagship will surely be the first

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

i think the photo you sent me is an HDR, in that case HDR will always look 2x as soft as a normal photo on Auto due the merge effect of the two photos, you can nail the same clear images as me in direct sunlight, your photo is in the shade plus HDR

you can triple your detail level if you apply the HW denoise mod at the expense of some luma noise, but i have to tell you the noise is not in anyway worse than the currently hyped A9 camera, so we end up thanks to our double resolution with a better camera than the A9 :)

Image stacking is a great tech and it can also double your resolution (super resolution) not only improve image quality, perfect for smartphones, i once tested it on a destroyed iPhone 4 image and the results were incredible, i did tons of tests for the M8 last year, its a perfect tech for smartphones, sadly about the only smartphone OEM who used it was Oppo on their Find 7 and it was impressive

HTC should have been smart and used it on the M8 to solve the MP critic last year, my tests showed that it even cleaned the chromatic aberration issues of the UP sensor, it would have been perfect companion the M8 especially the M8 had killer burst mode speed

you can also buy [MENTION=5487411]Almalence[/MENTION] Photoacute which makes this process a lot better easier on PC:

Almalence has apps on the playstore but super mode doesnt support all phones:

Where did you set focus on this one ? if it was in the darkest area then HDR will brighten it. Try focusing on a bright area (sky?) then recomposing back. Try to increase contrast.

ISO's are all 50 so there is no problem there.

I don't think HDR was required for this pair.

Looking at the macro of the tart, the DOF is much shorter on the m9 compared to the m8 when taken at that distance. if you want to get that tart sharp on m9 it has to be taken from further away. note how its sharp in the center but not in the front.

Same applies to the sand timers.

The night shots of the city with the eiffel tower have the m8 pulling off at ISO 800 (look better) whereas the m9 took it at 1600. To get that 800 means a 1/2 manual for the m9. I'm kinda surprised at this because the exposure times are similar.

White balance plays up at times.

Sony superior auto mode doesn't just downscaling to 8MP. The Exmor sensor can actually do pixel-binning when shooting at 8MP, meaning better color and less noise etc; it's NOT just about the resolutions.
[One (M9) General] th3:
^^Yea like the Nokia PureView... And everyone knows how good the 808 was, still unmatched.

Too many pics in reviews I'm seeing are dull and wish washy, with over processing, poor contrast and diffraction problems. Most especially in pictures composing high/low light area combinations. Dynamic Range and Exposure Metering looks like the biggest gripe for M9 in daylight.

The green tint is showing up in far too many reviews and its heavily distorting the colours. Just look at that last video comparing to iP6+... Even the gray ground is green, and sky completely blown out.

Ignoring low light and video totally.

I haven't looked at too many photos in here but from what I did see it was clear wb was off during sunny scenes. Can't really talk about the details captured when looking at a picture on a phone screen. The good news is if it can shoot raw then things can be salvaged. Pics can be sharpened, shadows brought up, highlights brought down... But I agree with the people who were saying all they want in a smart phone is a quick point n shoot that can take good photos in auto mode. There are very few people outside of photographers who are going to shoot their smart phone in manual, and even some photographers might not even do that on a smart phone
