Pics taken seems to all have that blurry effect when I zoom in. No much detail at all. Looks like watercolour. Is there a way to fix this?

using high ISO? or low ISO that cause the handshake even minor

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? =(

QUOTE(ckchan @ Dec 30 2013, 10:24 AM)
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.
*
Just exactly what bro ckchan said. Give a try and comparison using Manual mode since the manual mode not exactly manual. Still auto everything in terms of ISO (assuming u set auto).
I am happy with Z1 camera smile.gif It is even better even after update to Android 4.3

Seem like Sony decided to stick with Omni balance design for their flagship. No new design liao

Good news is, Xperia Z1 remain as flagship in year 2014 rclxms.gif
Probably replacement come in on Aug/Sept

hi all sifu and owner here, I'm quite serious on purchasing this z1 model. I had few question here would seriously needs help and advise here.

Add-on: I planing to get AP set as the price are lower, might plan to buy from this guy here > http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1943872 or anyone can give me further suggestion? thank you smile.gif

1. What is Z1 6903 LTE means?
1a. Is it the model code for LTE model, and it means 4G? YES
1b. If is 4G, how should I check when I purchasing it? Check the box for phone model, check about phone for model number, check network mode that has LTE/WCDMA/GSM

2. What is this "Yellow Screen" problem things? The screen look warmer but hardly to notice unless u do comparison with another device
2a. How should I avoid this "Yellow Screen" problem or how do I reduce the risk of taking these models? Compare it with ur other phone that dun have warm screen. but don't think u able to replace it new set once they open box for u.
2b. Is it just need to avoid the batch code as below? Not sure but heard newer batch is better.
3. What do I need to check inside the box items contains? If your box are big, it will come with charging dock, charger, USB and headphone. Smaller box mean not charging dock.

4. What should I check on the phone to make sure it is Genuine or fake china mimic Z1? After success setup the phone, Click Phone and dial this number *#*#7378423#*#* translate as *#*#service#*#* for accessing Service Menu where you can test out your display, LED, Speaker, Camera and etc at Service tests. Go to Service Info - Configuration for checkout whether your unit is real LTE version if you had purchase C6903 or C6902 model where LTE will appear at Working band/s list.

Sorry for too much question here, I'm a Galaxy S1 i9000 user here migrating to this Z1. As u can see how long I did not update my information on the mobile world for quite number of years biggrin.gif

Thank you so much for giving your time and helping me with my above question.
If there is any other place u would recommend me to read eg. blog/site, please let me know.. I will take my time to read it too. I tries to browse thru few version on this thread.. but just too much too read to get what I need to know.
*
Hope this help smile.gif

add a small note/guide for people who want to go to SEMS smile.gif

How to go to SEMS Services Sdn. Bhd.

1) Go to Amcorp Mall @ Taman Jaya, PJ
2) Go inside the mall, go to level 1. To be more precise, turn left when you enter the mall (turn left after the camera shop which is on your left, and Victoria Music Station will be on your right, corner shop)
3) Turn left, go straight all the way, and you should see an escalator on your right side.
4) Go up and you should be right in front of Watson. Next to Watson (on your right when you land on first floor), should be a small 'alley'. Go inside that walkway and you will come to "Plaza Malawangi"
5) Exit the big door and you will see two lifts. NOT THE LIFT WITH BIG DOORS, THAT'S IS A LOADING BAY LIFT.
6) Go up to Level 9.
7) Exit lift, turn right, turn left, turn right again.
8) SEMS will be on your right, 2nd or 3rd unit.

Tadaaaa.

Oh my.... 'Sony's alleged flagship smartphone is codenamed Sirius and if the rumors are to be trusted, the device will sport a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels along with Snapdragon 805 chipset. Furthermore, the smartphone is very likely to come out with 3GB of RAM, 20.7 megapixel rear camera with the company's G lens, Android 4.4 KitKat and a 3,500mAh battery.'

I need to make sure full OT every month this year or join a 'kutu' geng.  hmm.gif

The z1s should be just called z1c

The casing is a plastic frame unlike the alumunium frame found in z1. Its hard a refresh of z1. More like a dumb down z1

it is exclusive for china and at&t, not refresh of Z1 anyway
