ha ya, 12800 will be beyond bad, it will just be noise, no actual photo.
I am hoping the new software in the Z2 cam will migrate to Z1, since it does have better quality..
Xperia Z2 is camera apps is coming?

OMG even the 4k
If those photos are real development for the KitKat version of the XZ1.. It will be one of the most happy things that happened to me

So you mean we can find the code ourselves in Z1? lol
If it is truth, I will ask my friend why he do that
So this codes are already present in the z1 in the current firmware???

Since this is becoming a big deal for Z1 owners I have a general question:
Who here actually has a 4k screen/TV that fully benefits from that resolution? They are still extremely expensive around where I live and not very common yet and resolution like that is meaningless if you use a phone or a tablet for viewing. I'm not trying to bash anyone - if the technology allows it I don't see reason why we shouldn't enjoy what the Z2 brings to the table but at this time 4k just feels a bit... worthless. My television has the same full HD resolution as my Z1... What about the rest of you?

the good thing about 4k is that it have a very high bitrate. and better definition. even watching in a 1080p monitor/screen/tv you will notice the diference. the good thing also is that you can record 4k and downsample it to 1080p and make a super sharp and high bitrate video
Its shocking that nobody noticed all these things..so why this stuff is not activated for the users to use? And can you make them work?

Anyone notice that cm-11-20140227 now support 4K camcorder?

Status has been merge. However, I can't find 4K resolution on latest CM 11 20140227. Perhaps it caused by lack of kernel or something.

Sony is using similar, sometimes even same xml files, libraries and drivers so there's nothing odd that you have few strings mentioning 4K.
They don't write code for every new firmware, not even for every new device, they are using same or modified base for new device.
We'll see what will we get in KitKat very soon
Z1 is capable to handle 4K video but would Sony compromise Z2 selling and give us 4K in Z1 - hmmm....
We will see...

Well you just answered the main question/issue at hand, will Sony add 4k to a 6 month old phone when the new Z2 is just coming onto the market?
Sony did say that Z2 will be the first xperia device that capable of capturing 4K, so if kitkat comes out for Z1 before Z2 release, then it come be out for Z1 with kitkat update.
Well, just to say I would really love to see the 15.5MP SA as default mode seen in Z2, once there is an update to Z1 camera app or the KitKat release; or hope that some dev will be able to port it to Z1.
You can already use SA with 20.7mp resolution. Check xposed modules.

I am, but the 15.5MP SA will be using the downscaling algorithm thus producing better/vivid pics, like the one used by 8MP currently, but not fully using the 20MP sensor.
FYI, Sony's code is organised more than other OEMs (well, at least Samsung).
They usually use the same codebase across all their devices. The references to 13MP in the current APK are for devices that have a 13MP camera.
From the current APK, 20MP cameras have the resolutions 20, 8, and 3. Whether these can simply be changed and simply work is something else, but this does nothing to guarantee that there will be more resolutions in future versions.

awesome man
Just like the first marketing ad for Z1 regarding capturing up to ISO 6400, it is only done when using the Superior Auto mode, which takes the highest ISO possible for a very low light scene.
Manual mode can only use up to ISO 3200 at 8 MP and ISO 800 at 20 MP.

Looking at the pic, the 4K video seems to have that 2:1 aspect ratio and deals with the real 4K2K resolution which is 4000 x 2000. On Z2, it uses a 1.89:1 cinematic aspect ratio, which uses 4K resolution of 4096 x 2160. UHD deals with 16:9 4K video of 3840 x 2160.
I just remembered when the Z1 system dump was unleashed way back its rumor days with the same 4K video resolution, as well as the Bokeh app, which turns to be the Background Defocus app.

I will decompile the first ever SemcCameraUI.apk in the first firmware release to check if they were present then. (If so I have my doubts about this ever getting to our device)
---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------
Update: No 4k references in the first ever build. Pretty safe to assume Sony plan to give us Z2 apps.2
