Share Your Camera Images/Settings.

[dave2]

I've been playing around with the camera today and got a few interesting results. So I've created this thread so that we can post and share our pictures and settings used to achieve them. I feel this would be good for people who perhaps are not familiar with our cameras settings and would like to get better shots.

I think our SGS2s camera can achieve some fantastic results

Please post your favourite shot and the settings you used below

 

[dave2]

Here is mine to start off.

Settings:
-White Balance; Sunlight.
-Metering; Matrix
-ISO auto or 100 (I think, forgot)

holy CRAP that's nice... i'll try to take some later =D
What resolution is that? the Max setting also?

My first macro shot with the SGSII, results were better than expected!
I believe everything was pretty much set to auto, except focus.
I should have some more lying around.

Nice shot
Whenever I point the phone to my dog, he thinks it's something like a gun so he runs away.

Can you tell me what's diffirent between metering : spot, matrix...?

Here in Spain it's ice-cream time

I always shoot in min ISO, so ISO 100. Both in macro mode.

Another macro shot (also ISO 100):

wow! amazing shots!!! very sharp and nice DOF

OMG wow.... Ok i will post some soon.

There is centre-weighted, Spot and matrix metering.
These options take readings from the image which adjusts exposure to the image being produced according to the light intensities.

Centre- weighed towards the centre and averaged throughout the rest of the scene

Spot- the camera will only measure a very small area of the centre spot, useful when there is a relatively small object within your scene which you need to be perfectly exposed.

Matrix - takes reading from split areas of the scene to calculate the best exposure and sets it according to an average.

...I think
It's all a bit complicated to be honest, well for me it is, I'm just a beginner.

Highest res and Image quality, 3264x2448 (8MP)

A few more of mine:

This more of a spur of the moment shot, I just wanted to test how it would look!

And finally one to test how good the flash would be in pitch black:

matrix mode does not take "split areas" (it might just be a language issue however), it splits the images into a matrix (a table if you prefer) and finds out the best exposure for each point in the matrix.

this usually fixes up expose problems and while i didnt test the matrix implementation of the sgs2 im surprised it doesn't default to it, in theory, it should make all those overexposed pics ppl take on smartphones look "mostly" fine

centered will not, and you always notice it when the lighting is not correct, with the burned out / over exposed edges

Lots of nice cars.

Centre weighted, ISO 40. Really happy with the camera.

Im interested in this thing: lock exposure after focusing. e.g. SE X10 and other sony ericssons are capable to lock exposure after phone camera focus on object. Then you can move phone to other position and fullpress to take picture...this is very good when dificult light conditions...THX for answer

thanks for clearing that up

iso 40?? how can you choose 40? iso 100 is the lowest on mine

Just in case others haven't noticed, there is a Camera firmware update available. Don't ask me where I found it but it was in the "Samsung Apps" app somewhere! I have no idea what it improves either (if anything).
