i understand the article.. yes.. mainly the article is sharing about the very basic photography knowledge. can get this from any photography class. Correct - not advance version, but even DSLR ppl also need to know this basic knowledge.

inside it's had explained a lot of features in camera phone and show the different between each feature like focus point, multi-focus, low ISO - high ISO, Metering (centered, average, spot), exposure level. He got explained touch a little bit of the relationship of triangle (ISO, shutter speed and aperture). <- User must know this as well.

**P/M: personally feel normal user must know to adjust ISO, metering in different situation. Exposure level as well.
Short personal tips:
Low ISO - less noice, low shutter speed, high ISO - more noise, faster shutter speed. ISO play quite important thing here. if dont know adjust, just put auto. Some situation u can put ISO 100 in dark environment, but increase exposure to 2. hmm.. need experience by yourself in future.

Metering - Choose vary from objects. If capture landscapre, choose average. If capture like food, 1 item as main object, choose centered metering. If capture night mode with some lighting surrounding, choose spot metering and spot the center point to lighting part, surrounding will become darker. half press to focus and get this metering, back to object and capture.


Important part is the lighting and capture structure. Better lighting, better quality. but need to know where the light enter into your camera. with different light enter angles, different feeling and result will came out. example here, dont try to think can get capture the face of people with backlight situation. this will darker ur object only.

structure here is depend on user art/photography sense. i think if without a best object background and simply capture, of course wont create the nice feeling/quality of photo.

Example: 1. Capture the macro photo (flower with a bee). You have a good object to focus, nice flower as background, result came out better feelings.
2. Take tissue box on your table, put there and capture. Even though u got a object to capture, but hardly to create a correct feeling to people. With indoor lighting, bad background, object (ok).

Must have a well planning and creative idea to get a good photo. Outdoor are always a good background and good lighting condition for us capture better quality and nice feeling to people. After these fulfill, then depend on user photography sense and skills ady..

several tips need to be added

hey guys, is it me only or u guys also facing z1 has very very soft voice when recording voice note to people through whasapp. Any solution to solve it? without rooting? thx!

means no solution? alamak 

What about viber app? Same issue as well?

Qualcomm has also embedded a completely new modem called Gobi 9x35. It's manufactured on a 20nm process and is smaller, more power efficient, and, of course, faster. It supports LTE Category 4, dual-band WiFi ac and even allows 4K video streaming via Wi-Fi.

Finally the new Snapdragon 805 chipset incorporates a new dedicated camera processor, which will significantly increase camera speed and might even help boost image quality. It also uses the gyro sensor to stabilize the captured photos.

u mean they will reduce one flagship next year? Z1s is already announced..

where to get it? any other design?

forgive me for the shaky video. 

i dun think its a prob for the phone to survive in sea water..
maybe its just that the salty water is bad for the metal parts..

Awesome but white still look better on Z1.

is this scratch resistant and anti finger print?

Cool... Let me know if you are doing any bulk order.

Btw is it easy to apply? Just apply like any sp?
