Show off your DVP Photos

domineus · Aug 7, 2011

We have a phone that now works
So its time to show off those photos with our sexy omnivision sensor
and yes the photos look better than something taken on a fisher's price camera

Without further ado...

What about your pics? Do you use the DVP to take pics?

Thunder_47 · Aug 7, 2011

Chicago, Eh? I will be over in that city soon...

My pictures aren't as good as domineus's, I have a shaky hand when holding the dvp camera (usually take pictures with a DSLR)

EDIT: I forgot, I took these pictures while traveling in England.

Soon (tm)

Haven't updated to mango yet, waiting on that at&t firmware so i dont have to spend a night reverting/re-updating. Can't wait to take non-****ty pics.

That's some nice shots for a smartphone.

omnivision lense is actually good on the dvp now
the new options actually mean something to me now!

What settings are you using, are they making a difference?

depends on conditions
lower lighting I use iso of 4 or 8 depends though
surprisingly indoors, I just use tungsten or fluorescent

thats one huge reason why i liked in previous os versions you couldn't save settings. Ideally, because the shot changes, I would want a new set of settings (as long as it was default to 5 mp I'm a happy camper, samsung focus users on the other hand begged for the camera saving settings)

The camera is surprisingly more usable now, and really shines in outdoor photos. I'll try your iso settings when I'm inside.

One thing I hate, with all of my heart, is the white striping over the flash. It's printed on the plastic that is attached to the battery cover. It ruins pictures that use the flash, especially when the subject is medium-close. You just see these really ugly yellow-white bars over the image. It's a real dealbreaker so I try not to use the flash at all.

I've been planning my attack to remove it without removing the entire plastic piece. The stripes feel slightly raised, but i'm sure it can be sanded down and cleaned with a light solvent. Anyone got any ideas?

notebookgrail · Aug 7, 2011

What's the use of the white stripe? Does it disperse the flash evenly to prevent harsh tones?

Arcarsenal · Aug 7, 2011

Not sure of its intended purpose. Plenty of other phones just have the LED under a clear plastic cover and they take pictures just fine. It's almost as if it was put there to intentionally ruin shots with the flash!

its supposed to act as a light "defuser" (sp), but it sucks.

Arc, if you manage to remove it, post a how to please.

it is a light defuser but it sucks I do admit

more pics - dvp does have a good camera

on my way to the gym today i took a bunch of pix with the dvp... about 70% were crap. green, blurry, to dark... this was all outside in blasting 90+ sun

i also took a few shots in the very brightly lit gym.. but it was a blur-fest.

here are some non-crap ones.
(i'm running mango beta 2 and 212)

I think the best feature relevant to the DVP camera is "tap to snap" -- being able to tap on the screen to take the photo instead of pressing that infernal camera button has led to less blurry shots for me.

Zurvv · Aug 9, 2011

hrmm.. never tried the tab-to-hopefully-not-blur
i'll try that tomorrow.

oh sea-ray! hurry the hell up!

Is "tap to snap" a Mango feature?

Zurvv · Aug 12, 2011

tap to snap pix, for me, are as good (bad) as using the button... oh well

domineus · Aug 12, 2011

then its probably how the camera is being held
steady hand on any camera, not just the dvp

also while the dvp takes good shots, you also should try some sort of editing too if needed. Autofix is a powerful thing

In darker lighting increase iso gain and play with the settings till you get a proper image. Also the nokia camera lense from the n8 is unbelievable

I wish Dell would add an anti-shaking setting to the camera like the Samsung Focus. When this setting defaulted to on in the Focus NoDO release, picture quality went way up. This, plus some better color correction, would make the DVP camera acceptable.
