reply u first paragraph first hehe wan go out liao

iso can indirectly help increase sharpness by upping the sensitivity to light so as to reduce handshake that can affect PQ sharpness...higher iso can nullify unsteady hands when clicking

Para 2
Good idea.
I usually trying to click somewhere in the middle of between object and background border to get a balance of both.
wat if it is a landscape....between horizon of sea and say, dock...where do u focus

para 3
R u saying the phone max brightness is the photo output at full brightness? that is one good suggestion....that's one way of 'standardizing' it...and combat really poor daylight visibility ...it like one stone hit 2 birds

im still waiting ~~~
Int. Ver. build date: August 2014

when using high ISO, image will be appear noisier hence, softer image will occur and some will look smudges, destroying details But all this are software depending. See how the software of the camera decided to handle high ISO image.

I'll never focus on sky coz I know all this auto mode, when focus on sky, it'll try not to over expose the image, hence it go higher shutter speed but in result, the other area will look dark. I could be wrong though

ah sorry i guess i misunderstand your question. I tod you're asking how to judge if the photo expose correctly onot via LCD screen on phone when shooting under sunlight. coz if LCD screen not bright enough, you can't judge the photo exposure correctly But shooting on daylight, it is hardly to get underexpose photo as camera auto mode wouldn't do that.

tq for the info

Mine still no ota yet... Why so slow this time?

Yeap .. Really slow this time

hiya there guys.. got a couple of questions.. just got my oneplus one 64gb 2 days ago..
1. What is the best camera app for this phone?
2. What is the best keyboard to use apart from AOSP
3. Best hd games on this phone?

Cheers all

Para1
Ya you right.
when play with ISO, yes, it always relate/adverse to noise, so it's a balancing act/decision for using what ISO at what situation (unsteady photo vs acceptable noise level) so there u give is a good guide daytime 100-200, interior 200-400, and low light >400...The picture noise is roughly a byproduct post processing software part and also the hardware level...thats why when good spec hardware, say,

Meizu MX4 camera sensor size is 1/2.3" which is larger than most smartphone camera sensor size (also 1/2.3 is a digital compact camera size so they have the same level of hardware to start with) and thus able to have better Pic Qlty...also able to have less noise at same level of ISO...generally, a 1/1.6" size has a less noise than a sensor size of 1/2.3" at the same ISO...n software. and more Megapixel doesnt mean good also, potentially increase noise level for the same sensor size

Para2
IMHO, focusing on the sky will underexposed the landscape but post processing can return the detail....underexposed has sufficient detail...but if overexposed...then cant salvage d as the photo details are lost. I still not sure where to focus, for a landscape like horizon landscape or where there is no 1 object to focus, to get the best landscape photo...or just let auto focus to do the job? hehe ...i rarely have the effort and passion to shoot many photo to trial and error actually haha

Para 3
Yea, I will folo ur advise about outside shooting- to maximise the brightness in hope also to get the output exposure as close to the LCD at time of pre-shot take place...is this accurate enough, from ur experience?

Was digging around the settings and there is Auto Exposure Mode settings in the stock camera which let you choose between three types of exposure adjustments namely Frame average, center weighted and spot metering. If you want the whole scene to be exposed averagely no matter where you're focusing go for frame average while spot metering and centre weighted is more to correctly exposing the subject you choose to focus. General rule of thumb is to focus your subject, ie. close photography focus on the object you want and landscape focus as far away as possible for sharpest possible image

TQ BenSow I think I know what to do oredy...that is a good suggestion for landscape using a frame average.
and try out max brightness during day shooting (thanks to the status bar brightness slider) then compare how the PQ look on the PC...the real thing/output exposure should be the closest to the pre-shot LCD output

1. I use stock...good enuf imo, for normal photography though
2. Google pinyin input....my personal favorite and irreplaceable kb due to each button, opposed to usual 2 'function' press, GPI is '3 functions' , press is normal, slide up is capital, downslide is symbol...it makes my texting faster and less 'extra button' press, meaning all the usual , ? @ all in the first page. I like it simple and easy chinese pinyin input as well just at a click of a button, few kb style also included and dark/light theme and scalable button size....I hope I can get paid for doing this...ahem ahem

Guys, anyone face problem with the wallpaper in the lock screen? Mine sort of having problem like sometime the wallpaper in lock screen are blurred and sometime it is not. So weird la. Screen shot as below.

Blurred:


Clear:

1. FV-5 (extra control) and google camera (for panorama pic n background blur)
2. i use stock
3. real racing 3!

my opo suddenly turned off by itself..

at what battery %?

my 1+ also repetitively reset itself just now for umpteen time, keep reseting....then i picked the phone up baru lah i realise I pakai my soft TPU casing terbalik oredy...the lubang speaker side on top of the phone...causing the power button no space and keep kena pressed

Whoa, I wish there was an option for this

Had it 4 times already ever since 38R, 2 was during Antutu benchmarking with like <20% battery, hasn't bothered me much tho

ok this made my day hahaha

at 72% battery.. i'm using diztronic case for about 3-4 weeks iinm.. this is the first time it happens since the first day i updated 38r.. so, not sure why..
