EDIT! EDIT!

Just install OnePLus5 camera apk form this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72849853&postcount=40

No more sharpen edges

After several tests i figureout that HTC apk.... don't take any better photo =) In my samples on HTC cam apk HDR was turned on... and on the stock one OFF.

SO... If you want less sharpened pictures in AUTO mode just turn on HDR. on your stock s7 cam-app =)


Hello to all!
I love S7 and his camera... but... over-sharpening is big prob. for auto mode.

I found in this thread HTC camera that has less sharpening than stock one.
App is rudimental no fancy working options but for point & shot is working like boss!

And here are examples.. check the edges of the buildings.

I would like to see your tests... my camera is ISOCELL.

You could try shooting in pro mode. I found this post on reddit with settings/profiles to make it less sharp looking so maybe you will like this as much as i do. (click)

I tested for couple of days... and i can say that shared HTC camera gives better results even in stock PRO mode. (in term of sharpening edges etc)
For all users that find AUTO shots over-sharpened - just try this cam

Update 1st post...

dont experience this issue at all with the S7 flat sony sensor

Uhh, the HTC cam just took a darker photo so the halo around building edges was less obvious. Look at the other details. Sharpening is the same. Shoot Pro mode + RAW if you don't want any post-processing.

Turning on HDR is no solution for the over sharpening. It's a totally different kind of thing.
HDR can help in some situations (mostly those with dark and light in one frame), but on many situations I recommend not using HDR , especially indoors.

Also when you turn on HDR lots of people have this pinkspot problem so on the samsung sensor so HDR isn't that good.

In PRo mode you still have sharpening on edges but less... RAW is oK.

is there another app for video , With less sharpened video ?

 

[little-endian]

Yes, luckily there is - called "Cinema 4K". Unfortunately, it doesn't support 3840x2160 for "4K" in conjunction with the S7 but the rather obscure resolution of 3264x2448 instead.

Biggest advance is the possibility to completely turn off any sharpening or noise reduction so one gets a way more "filmic" result.
