Camera picture thread

Why am I getting these compression artifacts that no one else seems to be getting?

Last pic was the first pic I took with my phone.. if it matters.

Im pretty disapointed with the Captivate camera, but maybe because Im coming from an iPhone 4 camera.

Take a look at these two photos, taken seconds apart. The iPhone photo does have more noise but also has a lot sharper, detailed and much better color.

Small classic car show in town that happens every week. Figured I'd test out the camera:

I may be doing something wrong but I cant seem to change the resolution when in panoramic mode.

 

[Dennis_Bham]

Resolution is reduced in panorama mode to 0.3M pixel ... it can't be changed.

HX_Guy ... with camera app open, under Settings, turn off auto contrast and then tap the "Adjust" button. There you can try increasing the contrast and/or color saturation.

I posted these pictures on the Incredible Forum; comparing the Droid Incredible to the Captivate

OKAY. here are picture comparison from the two phones...


These are just Captivate pictures, with some post processing

WOW - very dramatic differences! I am blown away... please tell me, honestly, are these pictures taken with optimal settings on both phones, and posted in their raw native version without post editing? If there truly is this type of difference with just a few megapixel variation, I will have to go with the Droid X, opposed to the imminent Droid 2.

I have heard from many members though, that it's almost all software and sensors that control the outcome quality of these images... not merely bacl-and-white megapixel stats; is this true? Maybe the HTC you put up against the Samsung wasn't very high quality in the first place... because megapixels from my understanding don't dictate the color accuracy and saturation that you showed varying in your comparisons. Thanks for any help...

Is it just practice-makes-perfect with the panoramics? Seems like I do a sweep and jump past a frame and have to come back to it before the camera will move along.

What are all these pictures taken with? Do new Android devices come with Panoramic settings?

Where did you take the hot air balloon pics?

Is there a way to cut the stitching down from 8 images? That apparently creates a 180 degree picture, which creates a distortion I do not like. Or am I doing something else wrong?

Just hit the picture button before moving to the next frame. It will process on whatever frame was the last you shot.

I have to say that the panoramic photo setting is really cool. I wish that you could use a higher resolution though.

Hmm. Tried that once and the picture "failed" (got an error message).

I hope so as well until I realized that in order to share the full pano you'd need a huuuuuge ass screen to show it in full resolution.

So far, considering the resolution, the panos being shared by the more skilled here look great. Plenty of resolution considering that it's "just a phone" (or a $200 camera even).

Wow this thread got bumped down really quickly. Is there a macro mode on this phone btw?

 

[Regalicious]

Yep, it's one of the focus options (default is Auto Focus) in the gears setting dialog
