Xperia Z5 :: Camera V2 - Manual Exposure Settings Missing
Jul 3, 2010
I have now paid a premium price for the Xperia Z5 Premium, only to discover that this "Premium" phone does not allow manual exposure settings. Not even after upgrading to the new hyped up camera app V2.
Given the arrogance you (Sony Mobile) are showing towards your customers I am gonna assume you are still not going to listen to your users, and you are not going to reply to this thread, you may even delete it to avoid unnecessary attention to the subject.
After the V2 upgrade taking so long, and still no manual exposure, I find it highly unlikely we will ever get manual exposure settings on the Sony Xperia series. I will sell my Xperia Z5 premium and get myself an LG G4.
Every time I choose a scene mode and go back to manual mode the settings gets reset. (i.e. focus mode, ISO, metering mode.) It is annoying to set it everytime. Why can't the app remember my settings.
I bought my Xperia x10i 2 weeks ago and got the manual update to android 2.1 from SE service centre and I rebooted the phone and now just tried using the camera and guess what, it says Camera Not Available.
When I use manual mode in camera, tripod icon and macro icon doesn't show when i use tripod or shoot a macro object. But the icons show when i use superior auto mode. Did all you have the same behaviour ? or it's just my phone ? My device is Z5 Premium Dual ....
On my iPhone the default camera app uses the touch to focus feature to also set the exposure. It seems not to be the case on the Galaxy and the only way to change the exposure is to point the camera elsewhere (I tried the 3 different exposure settings also). Is there any kind of 'touch to set the exposure' feature in the default or 3rd party app?
I'm positive this has been brought up before, the camera button is only able to load up in auto superior mode which is great for basic quick camera needs but for users who want to use the camera to its full potential (20.7 MP) you need to shoot in manual mode. It seems like a simple addition to the camera which would allow everyone to use the camera app how they prefer. Is there a fix coming for this, is there a setting I'm missing? Seems silly to put a good camera in a phone and have it so inaccessible.
I find the camera takes darker pictures, especially in low light, compared to Note 5 (underexposed perhaps? Not a photography buff at all . Also, the snapping pictures in general seems to be slower vs. Note 5.
I currently have both 6p and Note 5 and truly find the Note 5 to have an all-around better camera. 6p but bad by any means, but tough comparing to Note 5.
I recently update my Attrix 4g from Android 2.3.2 to 2.3.4.Since then some of the settings in the Camera app have disappeared.The manual says the options available in the camera settings should be: Picture Res, Video Res, Exposure, Review Time, Shutter Tone and Storage Location.But only pic res, vid res, exposure, storage location are available since the update.
I have a Motorola Atrix 4g on the Telstra Network (Australia). I recently updated from Android 2.3.2 to 2.3.4. Since then some of the settings in the Camera app have disappeared. The manual says the options available in the camera settings should be: Picture Res, Video Res, Exposure, Review Time, Shutter Tone and Storage Location, which were all present when I first got the phone. But since the update, only pic res, vid res, exposure, storage location are available. I have tried clearing the camera apps data and cache, but no changes.
I'm on Verizon and after receiving the update through the Play Store that enabled RAW, I'm missing the little bar with the manual controls while in RAW. Even the new update this morning did not have it.
There's a thread on XDA in the Verizon M9 section, so as far as I can tell, it seems only Verizon M9s are affected, but I'm trying to confirm this. I called HTC yesterday and reported it finally. Of course, their only solution is to try a factory reset, but I don't think that will fix it. I've tried everything else I can think of tho.
I bought the Z2 for it's video camera capabilities I'm very surprised to find that there is no AE or AF lock on the Z2 for video. In video mode the camera is almost un-usable because the AF and the AE hunts around like crazy even in decent light. see [URL] .... Local Sony tech said that this maybe a faulty software design. I'm hoping the updated software supplied with the Xperia Z4 makes it's way to the Z2.
A friend is having troubles with his Z3 : He used to take pictures with the quick camera launch button, but since a recent camera or system update, when he use this button, the camera is set to automatic mode instead of manual, with poor resolution and quality settings. If he launches the camera with the standard button from the phone menu, everything is fine and perfectly set up.
When the camera is used from the quick button and set back to the correct quality settings and manual mode, after closing it, it goes back to auto mode with bad settings. Same thing when he slides the camera icon from the locked screen. The only way to get the proper settings when launching the camera is to use the icon from the phone's menu.
He tried a lot of things, from uninstalling the camera updates to searching everywhere on the internet, there is no information or messages about this problem.
I have an unlocked Rogers Wireless LTE Playbook,now when I put a Rogers or Telus Data Sim Card it auto configures the APN settings but when I put a Bell or Koodo Data Sim Card, it picks up 4G or LTE but Data doesn't work. So any have a clue how I can get into APN Settings to see what's going on?
I just bought this cellphone in the Netherlands Firmware V6.69 (03-22-11 RM-586).It has the following items: Settings>Phone>Sensor-settings>Sensor>Sensor on/off, Vibration Feedback on/off,Clock analog/digital.The settings are not described in the manual. I experimented with these settings, but could not notice any change in any app or screen of the phone.Then I started the navigation app. Within this app (to start to navigate) you're ask to twist and turn the phone to set map rotation. I tried it many times, having the sensor setting set to ON, every time finally a window appears saying that map rotation failed.I wonder if the 2710c-2 has a sensor that can be activated. Does anyone know (for sure)?
Probably a stupid question, and I'm not sure why I never noticed the setting before, but in the camera, there is an "Exposure" setting with possible values of 0, 1, 2.
can any1 pls tell me how to configure yahoo, gmail and hotmail settings mannualy? i ve downloaded the settings 4m SE support center 4 many times but it shows to thing every time 1. Incorrect username or password.2. Server massage LOGIN failed: Access denied.
After downloading the Backup and restore app for X10 and selecting it for install I'm given and "install blocked pop-up. According to SE this pop-up should give the option to change settings. All I have is the option to click "OK". I m unable to download the backup and restore feature. Is it because I have and AT&T phone?
i have successfully upgraded to 2.1.Still facing some problems...My Notification tone always beeps with a vibrating mode as well...When i tried to disable the vibration mode, To my surprise i could not find SMS settings option in the SettingsSonyericsson?? menu....i have settings for camera, timescape only..So shud i repair my upgrade?
After a software check using the update service, i restarted the device and the settings icon ( to access all device configuration , wireless settings etc..) was missing. Any known solution to restore it without a full reinstall ? I am on android 2.1.
I am experiencing the following behavior in my Xperia:
It is important to notice that I didn't removed such icons, because IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. When you remove/insert icons on this panel, they auto arrange in this screen. So it is not possible to leave the screen with these "holes".
This happens when I switch users in the phone. The guest user does not have the same icons than the proprietary, so when I switch back, my icons are not restored. To workaround I have to edit this menu and move any icon, or restart the phone.
How to use manual mode for pictures and video? Obviously I don't know much about photography. Also, how to take good pictures when the subject is in motion? Auto mode definitely isn't working for that...
Just got z5 and had wonderful range of camera settings but I must have deleted something. All I have is superior auto mode and cant switch sn mode off.
I manually upgrades my phone to 6.0.1 and since I can't use camera. Tried clearing cache and rebooting. Nothing. Tried other camera apps and those also are not working. Just black screen.
Updated this morning to camera v2. Now there are all the second pages from the menus missing. If i click on "more" nothing shows up. So i am unable to get to Image stabilisation or grid. I cleared the data and cache but its still not working.
I want to turn the HDR to on in the camera , but I couldn't . I tapped on the HDR to turn it on but it doesn't. Why? I'm using the manual settings on my camera.
The settings are : Flash off - Resolution 15.5MP(16:9) - Self-timer off - Smile Shutter off - Focus mode Touch focus - HDR is off and won't turn on - ISO Auto - Metering Center - Image stabilizer off - Preview 3 seconds
Quick launch Launch only - Geotagging off - Touch capture off - Use Volume key as Zoom - Sound on - Data storage SD card - Touch Block deactivated. These are my manual settings for the camera .
