Anyways to improve e camera?

[Whitedefy]

Hi, I simply luv my Defy for everything except the camera... How is it 5mp same as iphone4 but the quality differs so much? Or is there a tweak to e processing available which I dun know??

Many thanks...

Why do you think it is much worse than the iphone 4's camera? It makes pictures a littlebit darker but in good light i think it makes better pictures, because the iphone blows the whites out, and oversaturates the picture. But neither the iphone nor the defy is any way compareable to even the cheapest point and shoot camera

Or is there a tweak

The new firmware 2.2 is improving the camera quality. Just wait a few more weeks for the release.

I agree the defy camera is better than an iphone4 in verygood lighting... But think all other manufacturers sld seriously learn from apple tat when we use our camera on our phone... We simply want fast & quality nice enough to share... Everyday living conditions n impromptu moments n for me I like to take food pictures... most of the time its difficult to have good lighting... For iphone4 its like 90% of such pics will turnout excellent... Whereas on my defy I have to find repeatedly for a good angle n light for a good shot...

Not the best solution, but try to edit with Kodak Perfect Touch.

Nokia N8 is the phone to buy if you really want a phone with a great camera -- it beat point and shoot cameras in a test. 12mp camera, I believe.

i can attest that defy camera sucks, and even a bb torch has better camera. luckily i'm not a cam whore, so phone camera is not important to me

Moto Defy has 2 different image sensor:

1. Omnivision OV5642 (sensor with green lens) - small file size, big compression, huge antibanding and denoise, blurry image, image compression done by ov5462, image quality, compression is controlled by system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin

List of registers used by this sensor are in datasheet:
OV5642_CSP_DS_1.11_OVT（5M EDoF AFC）.pdf
OV5642_CSP_DS_1.11_OVT.pdf
search in google: OV5642_CSP_DS_1.11_OVT.pdf wenku baido

Changing hex values (registers ov5642) in mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin we could change image quality, reduce jpg compressions, disable antibanding and denoise (image should be less blurry)...

2. xxxxx - like in milestone 2?? - (sensor with red lens) - big file size, some color noise, sharp image (2 of 3 checked phone with BT33 has this sensor)

Sample image with green, red lenses in attachments

please explain how to do it ...

 

[999phonebug]

How to tell green or red lens? thx in advance.

Normal photo form defy, if you have defy with green lens (image sensor Omnivision OV5642 - compression done by OV5642) you should get photos like point 1 (files in archive: defy_green_lenses.jpg, defy_green_lenses_2.jpg), we could change image quality???

if you have defy with red lens (image sensor like in milestone2???) you should get photos like point 2 (files in archive: defy_red_lenses.jpg, defy_red_lenses_2.jpg), 2 of 3 checked phone with BT33 has this sensor.

i don't understand any thing

 

[ABC_Universal]

May try other camera applications with more options for tuning, like camera 360.

 

[franek123]

i don't understand any thing

There are 2 different hardware version Motorola Defy, First version with green lens - have image sensor (camera) OV5642, second version with red lens - have image sensor (camera) like milestone2??. Images in archive show differences in image taken by different version Motorola Defy.

 

[amEx-pl]

I think that he wanted to ask, how to edit mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin to improve the quality of pictures in green-lens camera This is really intresting for me too.

 

[-juanito-]

my motorola defy box like your defy box thats mean my defy have image sensor like your defy

now what i should do to make my camera quality like your camera quality ??

 

[dedraks]

So, Wich is better, green or red sensor?

please answer me

So, Wich is better, green or red sensor?

Green sensor is OV5642 is probably same as IPhone 4 sensor. Red is like Milestone sensor. So green should be theoretically very good.

Problem being Motorola hasnt figured out how to use the OV5642 with the TI OMAP processor.

Clearly, without 720p Motorola is giving away the chance to position the Defy as high-end phone in the market. If they activate 720p they can keep the price up for another year.

Or they invent a Defy HD with better screen and 720p and increase price as HTC did.

Anyway the 848x480 patch with lgCamera makes me already reasonably happy.
