***The Official HTC One Thread***
- Thread starter Fallen god
- Start date
HTC have supposedly confirmed that there is a problem with the ISO not being correctly adjusted/set (discovered by some german review site iirc), good article on what ISO is and the difference it can make:
http://digital-photography-school.com/iso-settings
I also think there could be other problems with the software/drivers as the lumia 920 and other phones had similar problems with images looking to soft/not detailed/sharp before a software update, stoosh posted some photos before and after the update on his gs 3 in the one s thread.
There also seems to be some problem with the camera hardware itself, I think the lens alignment (either that or htc are using good and bad lenses), as sarge pointed out, when you look at some photos, the right hand side is a blurry mess, followed by the left side and then the centre is the sharpest/most detailed e.g.
http://cdn.gsmarena.com/pics//13/03/htc-one-xperia-z-samples/camera/gsmarena_007.jpg
And lastly, another possible cause, the conflict with the dedicated image chip that HTC use and possibly their settings i.e. the one S/X are often regarded as over sharpening photos too much.
A lot of sites are putting the loss of detail/sharpness down to the lack of MP, however, it is nothing to do with that unless you crop/zoom in, print photos out on large paper, viewing a photo on a monitor with a res. like the dell 30" or retina mackbook pro etc. as has been shown, cameras with 3MP etc. can capture more detail etc. than 8-13MP cameras.
When you look at the specs, the one matches the lumia 920 (except the MP count) and even exceeds it in a few areas i.e. pixel size.
EDIT:
they also probably need to adjust the shutter speed as from what I have seen, the one has a VERY quick shutter and there is no way to adjust it afaik

Thanks 
. I might hold off signing up to a GS4 as soon as I can. JB isn't too far off for my 'Sony's unwanted child' 
Xperia S which can breathe some new life for a couple more months. Though if I do that, more news might start to leak about the X phone.......

.
Thing that draws me to the s4 is the larger screen and the amoled screen, which is great on the s3 at least.
Must say I was slighlty confused about the whole One X, X+ and standard One thing

Does the HO come with a built in LOMO filter?
Cos you probably ordered from P4U, they're the only ones that have stock and have been selling the HO since the 15th Mar.
Ordered from vodafone. Direct over the phone. Got a silver 32gb model. Came with a case as well, which was nice.
That makes sense as there's a vodafone thread over at XDA where people have had their HO's delivered.

That appears to be the answer, ahh well im more than happy with mine. Although initial tests shows that some parts of zoe are a tad sketchy.

Don't talk rubbish, I've had mine since yesterday (and would have had it since Fiday if it wasnt out for delivery with UK Mail since then).
Ordered last Thursday on Orange.
I am still testing the cam, really need to sit down and do it properly. However, I have no bad shots thus far (as above link). But I do think this ISO bug is affecting me slightly. Some pics come out very well, others a little blurry. Hard to work it out at the moment, but the fact that I AM getting nice sharp pics suggests the hardware is sound.
As for the rest of the phone, wow!

Take a chill pill! You having a bad day or something? I'm only talking from experience, there's no need to get defensive about where you ordered from and quite frankly I don't even care because no one asked you!!!

Just LOL! You were the one saying that the fella probably ordered from P4U, because you knew no better. Then you start back tracking saying people have gotten some from Vodaphone.
Not to mention, err, mine came from Orange...
If you don't know the facts, don't post it as fact!

Fact..refer back to XDA and you will see that from the 15th March up until only recently only P4U had stock and stuck to the original release date.
Who gives a monkeys where people are getting their phone from?
You really need to chill out and get off your high horse.
And for your info its EE NOT Orange...so get your facts straight!!!
Handbags away ladies, of all the things to argue about a release date is not one of them.
My handbag's quite expensive, I want to show it off!
