Shooting Pictures in BURST mode gives noticable better Image Quality

Higgins12 · Mar 18, 2013

Due to some findings of a Member in a German Forum.
The difference is clearly noticable

Shot with Burst Mode

Probably one of the Devs can work out how to get the same image quality into normal Photo Shots

to me (as a photographer, not a modder/hacker) it looks like they do no noise reduction. Which makes sense because this takes processing time (even with DSLR's). so probably thats why. I'd love to be able to turn off the dreaded noise reduction/sharpening (actually all post processing) and do it afterwards in photoshop/lightroom if i care.

This difference is ridiculous. I just tested it out myself...bad Sony.

Lucky it shows the sensor has potential though!

Very strange why this happen!

Why the hell Sony process their image so bad and so much?

BTW which burst mode do you use? Hi, Lo or Mid? Mid has better resolution

Similar results. Why is BURST so much better? What's up with that?

less image processing for burst mode! as the user said above ....no denoise.

So we have the choice between Noisy or Blurred pictures! Hooray!

That is really good question! Maybe the sun is different in Japan, or they calibrated the sensor on their secret Moonbase! jk...
Either they created the noise reduction in a labor only with artificial light, or they ported the noise reduction from previous sensors to the Exmor-RS sensor (Xperia Z is the first phone to use the new sensor, right?)

Can't blame you! I can choose between:
Hi: 1280x720
Mid: 3920x2204
Lo: 1920x1080

WTF sony ?

Oh..... here one more in Indors, Light is on but it's still kinda Dark!

The anti noise filter does kinda good in bad lit rooms!

Maby make a new apk for camera?

Amazing. Hopefully Sony take a look and update the normal mode to look like this.

jonnyaztec · Mar 18, 2013

Contact Sony

Go to your local Sony site (uk,usa etc) find the contact section and choose phone and type in the issue, lets see if we can get Sony to fix this

tha_devil · Mar 18, 2013

i used burst mid.

Pikaz · Mar 18, 2013

This is an awesome find. Finally everyone will see that there is in fact something wrong with the software and that it needs to be fixed.

SONY ARE YOU READING THIS???

vivftp · Mar 19, 2013

It would be amazing if someone could do a comparison between these burst mode photos and other popular phones like the iPhone 5, GS3, Lumia 920 or Pureview 808. Considering how much sharper and better things look overall in burst mode, I'm very curious how this now stacks up against the competition.

For me personally i think that the camera is not to good. I have tried a variety of settings but my pictures look washed out with an opaque appearance. I have read similar reviews to this and can only hope that an update will rectify said issues.
