Bought Camera Zoom FX and ProCapture. Gonna shoot some comparisons. Kinda annoyed that the Superior Auto isn't that superior. Auto is rather important for me as there will be moments I wanna capture without needing to fiddle around with the options.

I'm kinda disappointed with Z1's camera. Used manual all the way too. The pictures are barely postprocessable. Will there ever be RAW? =(

Auto is rather important for me as there will be moments I wanna capture without needing to fiddle around with the options. i was using camera zoom fx previously too. it is definitely better compared to the stock camera when in fw 534.but in fw 257, the difference is minimized i would say. it is still better than superior auto (superior auto is crap). but ever since i use manual (but still set iso and exposure to auto), i really find that the difference is minor compared to camera zoom fx. also, at some shots, i find the camera zoom fx shot colour are less accurate than stock camera. i also recommend u to compare the shot using stock manual mode, but set all settings to auto. difference of this mode with superior auto as my understanding: Superior auto - all settings set to auto and will attempt to change the scene mode automatically. if it successfully identify and change the scene mode, it may take great photo. BUT if it fails to identify and fail to change the scene mode, i guess this is where this mode fails kaw kaw... the photos turn out crappy manual with all settings auto - the difference here is it is still auto mode, but this mode will not attempt to change the scene mode. u'll have to manually change the scene mode when necessary. i find this mode generally takes better photo than superior auto. well, these are just my findings, if u find out otherwise, let me know as well. |

sharing some shots taken at Cameron Highlands last week using Z1 (Superior Auto).
Kinda like the pictures especially taken outdoor under bright sun light. A bit hard for nice indoor pictures though... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by devinz: Dec 30 2013, 12:16 PM |

Nice. Very nice.
Been playing around with the camera. Still not too familiar with manual mode. Only adjusting the iso mostly. |

trying to update to 4.3 OTA, it seem that the error message ' Could not install' popped out.
is it because my phone is rooted or the OTA FW having issue now? |

Besides get rid of recovery, also make sure all the system apps that come with the rom must be still intact..is it because my phone is rooted or the OTA FW having issue now? |

QUOTE(nordingh @ Dec 29 2013, 12:10 PM) ha ha... did I say 'that from my own observation'. you may have a different view. shitsung butthurt ba. else why they poke into Z1 forum. my office have 3.5K staff... only a few male using note.... I also based on what I saw at restaurant, stall and anywhere I go.  very thin line of self confidence in their product selection. a bit of joke also have to be taken seriously. |

I want to connect my phone to a TV using HDMI. Do I need to buy the MHL adapter from Sony or can I get any MHL adapter? Is it possible to use a standard HDMI cable that has a micro USB connecter on one end?

Is it possible to use a standard HDMI cable that has a micro USB connecter on one end? you can buy any MHL (MHL 1) cable but don't buy any that compatible with S3/S4/Note2/Note3 because have more pin inside.depend on your TV, this pict might help  Remember, there is micro hdmi to hdmi cable too, use by xperia s. micro hdmi look like micro usb if you not look closely. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
