Go manual mode. Choose ISO 200 and below and adjust the exposure accordingly.

Once crop  doh.gif

and this is 8MP without cropping and for some reason it is underexposed

you might need to check the ISO difference between those 2 shots. The underexposed shot might indicate lower ISO rating thus produced less noise.

at 1st I thought is camera problem so I factory reset 2 times and use PC companion to format 1 one time.  blush.gif

It might due to the larger aperture size in our Z1 (f.20). Larger aperture has shallower depth of field, creating blurring or a nice bokeh effect around the focus point, creating a separation field between the focus area. And all mobile phone has fix aperture size, unlike a real camera that has mechanical aperture that control the size of it.

So to prevent this i suggest you take another picture by maintaining a longer distance of your camera from your document and make use of the manual mode of 20mp to take more details.

haha for Z1 u only need to know how to play with ISO since aperture and shutter speed set by the camera.
You can play around with exposure comp too if your pic happen to be too bright or too dark.
Next is learn how to focus properly. Sometime camera fail to focus properly and resulted no sharp photo especially when you're doing macro.
*
the A-F srsly get on my nerves at time. So most of the time i'll just refocus and snap a few more picture till i get a satisfied one.

If only Sony bundled the camera app with Pro mode that can adjust the ISO, shutter time (exposure) and the focus, similar to the Nokia 1020.

The closest 3rd party app i can get is the Camera FV5. Still buggy as it doesnt use the ISO ive choose. But it allow me to shoot in macro mode with longer shutter speed (0.8" sec) with ISO50 in 20mp, which produce great result when you have tripod to utilise.

The longest shutter speed that the Sony stock can shoot at 1/8" sec, with the ability to shoot at variable ISO settings by changing the exposure settings. The only way stock app to shoot at 0.8" sec is use the Firework settings from the SCN mode. Then again choosing SCN mode limits the camera to shoot at 8mp.

I understand the feeling. The AF in macro is pain in ass. Other than that it work fine.
FV5 allowed to shoot in full res? Maybe I should give it a try. Does the photo output better than stock camera?
*
Only if you pay the full app. You can try for 15 minutes for free and you dont like it u can simply click refund from the App store.

The ISO settings is bugged for the 3rd party app.

It for the docking. It has larger clearance for you to insert z1 with casing. But the nilkin case I had is too thick still cant insert.
