Can you post an m8 shot that displays it ?

Focus is at

infinity

the moment you focus on anything beyond 2m.

The issue here seems to be that if you use auto focus everything is ok but with manual focus something gets left out. So nothing to do with focus per se.

The building at the far right appears a little soft compared with those in the center or even to the far left. Its normal for things to be less sharp at the ends so may be lens correction profile did not get applied when you went with manual focus.

Did HTC release a lens correction profile to use with raw ?

Previous phones you listed as M7, M8. You got used to the 'feel' of metal. This is how HTC hooks you. a phone that isn't metal won't feel right.

I'd like some advices on photo editing, I just started learning when I got the M9 :)

This is a photo I took a couple days ago using RAW camera, all settings on auto and tap to focus, does tap to focus bug haven't been fixed yet? And besides looks like it also affects the RAW mode

View attachment 3316821

Then I tried to fix it and came to this

View attachment 3316823

Now another one, this time if I recall right I usted auto focus, but still got so much light for example on the road to the right, you can't see the details on it, or the wall to the left side of the photo.

View attachment 3316825

Then I tried to fix it and came to this

View attachment 3316826

What do you guys think about those, am I doing it wrong, is there anything I could improve on?

And one last thing: I'm having a hard time to make decent photos by night time with this camera: it looks like it just doesn't capture enough light at all, if I keep the iso low, I can't see the target, of I set it on auto, the target appears but there's so much noise.

Do you have any advices on how to take good pictures by night?

Here's a sample I took using RAW mode, again everything on auto:

View attachment 3316829

Then I used Photoshop Express to change highlights, shadows, raised exposure a bit and got this:

View attachment 3316830

Which looks better but there's so much noise, due to the high ISO maybe when the camera took the picture, any idea on how to avoid this or how to correct it by post edition?

Thanks so much for any feedback given, much appreciated! :D

[One (M9) General] hamdir:
that's EIS!! or maybe something wrong with ROM?

looks like the daylight IQ woes are about to be gone, HTC is cooking significant 1:1 improvements for the next OTA, the sharpness code is finally on par with Sony and Samsung

there are significant improvements to the sharpening code, i think i can even detect some edge restoration like the Sony/Samsung, we can see great amount of fine detail on the distant cars, rails and huts

sadly HTC is still too aggressive on denoise, digital stabilize is still an issue but definitely improvements in progress, the sun yellow bias is clearly gone but the green bias remains

the sensor is not that bad in low light, we can see it in RAW, HTC simply needs to reduce the insane Noise witch hunt and they will get much better low light images, or they can at least provide a denoise slider to the user as well

HTC One M9, OTA camera improvements, proper 1:1 comparison

as you can see on top of the Taiwan only 1.36 we are seeing a totally different camera code

not much has changed between the internal 1.37+ and final 1.40, the new code is there on both perhaps just minor tweaks

this a significant update to the camera, especially daylight, the old shocking murky 1:1 default quality from the M9 camera is gone

I would still reduce the default sharpness a little as it's too aggressive for my taste but the important bit is that it finally works as it should and competitive with it's peers

thanks to [MENTION=1792279]ivicask[/MENTION] for the samples, the new libs will be included in Viper 1.80

[MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION] thanks for all that you are providing, Camera most certainly is a big jump from 1.32 to 1.40.

So you say the Libs will be available in Viper 1.8.0 but is it still beneficial to flash the firmware or is that not needed if only after Camera improvements.

I will no doubt match the base if that changes within ROMs itself.

[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
Cheers dude much appreciated, didn't think I had to but clarification is always great :)
[One (M9) General] One Twelve:
A small bit only. because the s6 pulled off shots with slower exposure and slightly less ISO. The colour in the m9 shots seems a bit undersaturated (personal taste) so maybe you can increase saturation in m9 to have more colour. Contrast can also be increased in m9 if required but not necessary.

One pair i saw the m9 do better than the s6 that too with a higher ISO. this is because the reviewer shook the s6 a bit. otherwise it would have been better. This btw is the only lower light shot i could find out of all which were done with good light and low iso.

m9

s6

s6 is f1.9 and m9 is f2.2. This means a 40% larger aperture for the s6 so s6 should be able to get the same shot in 40% less time but i did not see that translate into reality with these shots. a little edge yes. Going head to head you can match the s6 with manual if not beat it.

Both should have been using multi/average metering instead of centre weighted.

s6 rear camera is equivalent of 28mm and the front facing is equivalent of 22mm so there will be distortion.

m9 rear and front i have no idea, what the equivalent 35mm is ?

Oh and this pair is rather curious, s6 took it at ISO 160 whereas the m9 got it at ISO 50. This is why the S6 looks more exposed. Basically the s6 auto got confused. Very easy to do if you get focus off a dark area. camera will automatically boost ISO. And the converse, low iso off a bright area resulting in an underexposed shot. Peep it and you will see the m9 has more detail in the foliage.

m9

s6

Sky is blown out in both so you decide what to expose for or use HDR or bracketing and then manually blend in PS. Is bracketing possible with m9 ?
[One (M9) General] D15:
That's not the S6, that's the M9 with HDR. Here are the HDR shots side by side (Above: S6 - Below: M9).
[One (M9) General] defcomg:
From the camera parameters that I saw from m9

auto-exposure=center-weighted this metering method does not work well for all situations/scenes frame-average works better whats messed up I think HTC might not be using the sensor fully I mean they have 12bits of raw data to work they can easily overexpose the images and pull back the highlights while having clean shadows then using wavelet denoise in chroma nr mode.

From what I've read and seen in Qualcomm camera libs is that the wavelet denoise has 4 modes high quality denoise low quality denoise high quality chroma denoise low quality chroma.

i think what's happening here is HTC is using the default Qualcomm algorithm that's why the results are meh.

About DR increase

1. Shoot RAW

2. if JPEG pulling back contrast helps a bit .

SNR

Possible ways shoot raws in burst mode in Photoshop apply median stack to the images tried this no noise reduction was needed so for m9 it should work even better .

In The Toshiba sensor Spec list I saw that it has digital binning so perhaps shooting at lower res may increase snr.

TL;DR version not happy with the image quality shoot raw and adjust exposure manually .
