Images captured by Omnia I 8000 is poor quality compared with Omnia I900 from my opinion, Is there any way to enhance it

post some samples, nobody can help without looking at your samples. For me, I found i8000 camera better quality than i900, so there may be some problem with your settings/technique.

Have you tried using the corresponding scene mode, instead of plain auto mode?

I was told in many forums the pictures look far better when selecting the appropriate scene modes.

Please try and post your result back.

I found this useful too during my first weeks of using the omnia 2 camera.

But from my experience. The gt-i8000 camera is better than my previous i900. Its all about technique and getting used to how differently the camera works and how it takes pictures comapared to your previous i900.

Nowadays I take perfect pictures, not blurred, and fast taking pictures easily. using just the AF mode. and of course, without the anti-shake mode. I'm a pretty bad photographer, but after spending lots of times taking pictures using my phone, I finally found the sweet spot and I'm taking perfect photos with my O2 naturally.

Although with all this said, there is no doubt that our o2 is not spectacular in low light and night shots. With this shots, you need to be vary careful and steady, that is the best workaround for it.

Well it is ins the laws of quantum physics that small cameras will never physically take good pictures especially in low light conditions. there is no technology that can physically fix this. the only way is to have a better Camera application with anti-noise filters and maybe touch focus. seriously, how hard is it to program touch focus?

Don't except every pixel to be clear in a 5MP photo, get a DSLR for that.....

small lenses also mean they cannot be made too precise,at least for the budget.

[Guest albatli]

let us share camera setting :

shooting mode:none

Scene Mode:none

Size:5M

White balnce: Auto

Effect:none

ISO:Auto

adjust:0 0 0

Timer:Off

Metering: Center

Quality:High

Anti-Shake: on

WDR: on

Flash:Auto

Auto focus:Auto

Exposure:0

[Guest dande]

Btw, what is WDR?

Sometimes it gets some decent photos for mobile device - grainy always.

I have never succeeded to apply any sort of setting which improves quality of photos, after many combinations so far.

So, let's just face it.

[Guest babyjosef17]

@albati

Remove anti shake when using on well lit, semi lit shots. It will work wonders.

I only use anti shake when using night mode.

WDR om i900 previously was good. It can brighten up shots without using the night mode. But I find this on Omnia II, not working very well, or perhaps the small difference in brightness cannot immediately be seen on our AMOLED screens when viewing the captured photo on the phone.

@jacobgong

If you cannot post anything informative, then just shut up. So far with all my time here @ modaco. It seems all your post that I came across are either complains on the phone, or just plain complains. Try to be useful even if your intention is just to raise post count.

[Guest yr6666]

if u want good quality, clean and bright picture with less distortion just active

ISO setting to 100 and dont ever active ANTISHAKE and WDR :(

ISO just set to 100, if you are in low light place set ISO max to 200 and

don't use ISO 400 cause ISO 400 will only create more distortions

believe me ANTISHAKE and WDR is not useful, just make your photo quality blurry n very poor!..

While I agree that under certain conditions WDR and antishake can make photos worse, under other conditions they help a lot.

As another poster mentioned, in lower light conditions antishake and WDR are helpful in getting clear images.

WDR stands for "Wide Dynamic Range" and refers to the difference between max and min light values in a picture that can be captured without saturation.

Camera sensors (and good ol' film) are not anywhere near as sophisticated as the human eye in extracting every bit of information out of a scene. This is why often you can take a picture where you can easily see detail in both dark and light areas of the scene with your eye, but when you look at the snapshot, the dark areas are solid black with no detail, and the bright areas are solid white, washed out, no detail.

Your eyes have a wider dynamic range of sensitivity than the CCD sensor in the camera, in the manner it is operated for "normal" shots.

Turning on WDR changes how the CCD is operated, bringing out details in the dark and bright extremes in the picture. However, the price paid is a longer exposure time, so it is harder to take a sharp picture, due to small hand movements while holding the camera.

Anti-shake helps with this. So, when you have a wide dynamic range in a picture (deep dark areas and very bright areas in the same scene), use both WDR and anti-shake together to get the best picture. Outside of these conditions (which are the exception, most of the time), leave both off.

[Guest Rufik]

Today I found, that enabling this things makes pictures worse:

- antishake (sharper without)

- WDR (forget it, awful pics)

- adjusting contrast, saturation and sharpness (keep it at 0)

Only thing is to set ISO to 50 or 100.

[Guest Greg330]

the main and most important of all , is ISO setting, and most auto focus cams with auto iso get it wrong. a good pricey cam is not an issue , but on even low prices digi cams you'll get the same problem.

ISO 100 is for outside

IS0 200 is outside but dim or cloudy

IS0 400 is for inside or dark under lit places.

at least informe yourself on the netabout how to take a picture...

here are two from my I8000 this after noon ( forget the thing in picture , just look at details , no noise on the picture and clear colors as i wanted them to be ... one is against light and the other is with backlight.

and i am far from a pro ... you should se what some freinds can get out of these small things when well setup... only , its a every ocasion setup thing if you want real stuff.

one outside sett at ISO200 and light set up manualy , white manualy set all in manual and set for the pics that day.

one inside all set for inside pics that day.

i can show you worse pctures than that made with what i used to take pictures with before ( fuji cheap cam 5mp hardly equal to the ones i can get out the I8000. and the inside pics are speed set as my systers dogs are kind off ... loony....

seriously take time to got out , make 5 or 6 or 7 pics of the same things, all in diferent settings ( iso , white exposure & co ) and see how different your pictures can be from one to an other.

[Guest babyjosef17]

Wow those are nice photos. I here I thought I was already getting great photos from my phone. Now I know I get capture better.

I will try these manual ISO settings and play around with it a lot.

[Guest yr6666]

i think in ALL condition wdr and antishake just make your photo quality bad..

the only thing just set your ISO 50-200

What do you find not clear in your picture? That is an acceptable picture quality from a phone.... if you're expecting crystal clear pixels in every part of the picture, you won't get it in today's phone camera technology yet. For one thing, the lens inside the phone is so small, so you cannot expect it to get even the quality of a normal DC, let alone a DSLR.

The number of pixels doesn't mean a thing, the lens quality is the limiting factor. My 10 year old Canon G1 3MP still takes better picture than i8000's 5MP camera. That said, the i8000 is already better than i900 in terms of lens quality, i900's image near the edge blurs a lot more than i8000, only the centre part of i900 image is clear.

Your picture seems lack brightness. Try edit your picture while your viewing in Omnia2 camera. Click edit picture icon on top of garbage icon and click brightness icon and adjust bar to increase brightness then save.

[Guest ray1234]

couldn't agree more on avoiding auto ISO. I never use auto ISO of any camera, as usually the wrong ISO for the situation will be used. Even my Nikon D90's auto ISO is getting it wrong most of the time, using a higher ISO than is necessary.

On the brightness, I found that most of the time I put +0.5 to brightness, otherwise it always seems a bit dark, unless it is in extreme contrast scenes where adding 0.5 to brightness may make the edge of the subject hazy.

[Guest Greg330]

don"t forget , your pc screen is also a part of what you see ... you screen settings could alter what you see and thus make you put either to light or to drk pics. plus we all have different preferences and i persanaly like the style i use, ( i ahte overexposed pics )

the est way to test a picture is to print it :(

i like the way i take my pics, by the way , between 2 pro camera men you d'ont get the same effects even out the same cam... that because every one has his own way of making things.

+ to much lighht = a lot of uselss white on the pics and bad quality for printing. i'm not the best att pics but i know i dont have anything to be shy of about the ones i can get out my omnia2.

[Guest yr6666]

just share my photo..

0% light condition

flash ON, ISO 100 and others default

up to bottom, low light conditions with:

- ALL set to default (pic1)

- ISO 100 and others to default (pic2)

- ISO 200 and others default (pic3)

in good lighting condition

macro ON, ISO 100 and others default

:(

all photo resize to 600x450 from 5mp
