Photo quality

McQueefus · Nov 23, 2015 at 2:48 AM

The photos come out blurry a lot. I noticed if I zoom in just a little after I take a blurry photo that the blurriness goes away for some reason though.

I'm would not say that I'm made with my decision to get the 6p. Just a little jealous because the S6 had a great camera and size. Everything else is wrong with the phone.

Don't you know that you can switch to 16:9 in the camera setting ? (but of course , you will lose some megapixels)

Got the 6P today, yes I know there is a 16:9 ratio but it goes down to 8.3 megapixels. Either way, the images are still good enough to view on a computer and very comparable to the S6. Just took a few quick shots via touch focus. I've attached both 4:3 and 16:9, as well as a quick shot off my Galaxy S6 as well for comparison (last pic with warmer tones).

I'm impressed too with the Nexus 6P camera, I took some pics in low light and they were so amazing for a moment I felt like pics were taken by DSLR.
I showed my friend the pic & he was like what DSLR camera did you used lol !!

By far the best camera, I thought the nexus 6 with HDR was good....this is just amazing on the 6P.

Here's a picture I took lastnight.

Wow

Those are some pretty bad quality shots. lol. I wouldn't buy the Nexus 6p for the camera. Maybe for the other great aspects of the phone. It's none the less a decent shooter.

Really, you wouldn't buy it for the shooter?? This has one of the best cameras on a phone, period!

Hi guys

Noticed that on the 6p, the pixel were much lower if u choose 16:9

Which do u perfer to shoot with? 4:3 with more pixel, or 16:9 with less pixel?

and why you do it?

Thanks.

I guess since I came back to the Nexus line from the S6, I have to say I'm disappointed. My expectations weren't too high though, so I'm not overly disappointed. I got used to, and liked the S6's 16X9 pics. I like how they filled up the S6's display. I'm trying to get used to the N6P's 4X3 pics. I can positively say that low-light pics are nowhere near as good as Google would have one believe they'd be. Period. As long as the lighting is good, the pics will be as well.

Of course, a lesser camera is still worth coming back to the Nexus. So overall I'm happy.

I'm with you on this. I cam from a note 3 and I've been disappointed by the quality of the camera. Trying to take pictures of my 19 month old son more often than not results in blurry images

True. I tried turning off HDR+ for fast moving subjects. But switching between modes for point and shooting is a pain. My iPhone 6 used to take pictures without fail / blurriness.

Panorama issues

Google camera version 3.1.021, PureNexus 1121, 6P, of course. Panoramas suck. Panoramas on my old Note 3 were great in that horizons were always straight and horizontal and the image did not have any obvious-looking stitched-together places or double images. The Note 3 camera apparently assembled images continuously as the camera panned across the scene while the Google camera appears to take discrete shots at widely-spaced intervals and then does not do a very good job of assembling them.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better camera for the 6P in terms of panoramas?

Very nice photos! it's incredible the improvement between 6p and 5! Good job huawei

krishnamoorthy · Dec 7, 2015 at 3:40 PM

Came from Galaxy Note 3. The camera quality in indoor settings is very good when I compare it to Note 3. More details captured.

I had the Note 3 and 4. The Note 3's camera is a joke compared to the 6p. While the 4 fairs a little better, the 6p is miles ahead in low light.

I don't often use the camera in low light situations, so I can't really offer any arguments against that, but as far as fast motion/moving objects and daylight photos go, the Note 3 is superior (imho). Too often than not the 6p camera blurs my photos, I have to take several shots to be sure I can get a decent image.

Are you talking about movement in low light or daylight? Do you have HDR set to ON as opposed to Auto?

Coming from a moto g I'm amazed. Here are some photos I took in low light without flash

4:3 has a far greater all round field of view. 16:9 crops a lot of the ":3" to make the image look closer. I've posted some pics a few messages back, have a look.

My rule is anything cinematic, e.g. landscape - 16:9
Most other stuff e.g. people, objects - 4:3

This is my first picture with this phone.. I took it with the selfie cam and the settings are stock, or how u say it in English.. Nothing is changed, just out of the box.
In darker situations the camera is excellent, in daylight my S6 is at least good as P6. But love this phone ?
