I`m not sure if this is a new setting in the 2.73.405.5 build ROM from HTC, but I have found a setting in the camera app that greatly improves taking shots in lower light levels. You appear to be able to control the ISO film speed now in the app. Set at ISO800, it seems that the 'response' of the screen is a lot better (the blurry update of the screen in low light conditions seems to have gone). I have taken comparing pictures, and the ones at ISO800 seems to be clearer than those set at 'Auto'. I've not tried outside 'good' light conditions with this setting yet though.

After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
This ramps the sensor gain up, kind of like turning up the volume on a weak radio signal. You'll get better low-light performance but noise in the image will be greatly increased too. It's a trade-off.....

Yup - realise this, but low light performance is utter cack to start with! Trying both methods, I would rather have easier to shoot 'grainier' images with the high ISO, that blurry dark images on 'Auto'. With ISO set to 800, I have taken much better images, than set at Auto.

Agreed on the camera as well. The pictures are pretty horrendous and have really odd artifacts all the time.
