At night, but with bright lighting (no flash)

Really impressed with the Hazel. Only problem is the flash is worthless; I find I only get good pictures with it off.

agree, the yellowish flash ruins the picture very badly. The good thing is it can still be used as a flashlight, at least it's not completely worthless

Ok, now I got a sunny day to give it a shot with my problematic white balance. Obviously it seems a problem in the software - white balance is set way to cold. My settings were automatic, but it would get even worse if set to a sunny day.  Please comment my conclusion after watching my photos below, before I go to SE service. Thanks
I am impressed how sharp photos can be made with such a small lense, it even might be usefull to sometimes
set the camera to 5Mpx (yes ...).
Original photo, clean lens, sunny day. The wb is totally off - to cold:

Modified wb, added red and yellow, getting near to the natural colour balance:

Another photo recorded with a wrong setting (cloudy) getting more near to a correct wb, though the red colour is a little to strong here:

Original photo, clean lens, shadow on a sunny day. The wb is totally off - much to cold:
Original
Modified wb, still not enough, even after adding 20%of red colour and 12% of yellow the picture is colder as in reallity:

To be honest I don't see that much anything wrong with the white balance now after the pictures you posted, setting to auto white balance creates a cold picture this is normal and typical in most digital cameras and cameraphones. For me usually when the sun is shining strong (yellowish sunlight) I use daylight wb, when the skies are clear (white sunlight) or cloudy I use cloudy wb to get warmer pictures. There are also times using snow settings + correct white balance produces good results during daylight.
BTW have you tried updating your Elm's firmware? If you have the cable you can try the firmware update through SE update service, might solve your problem or if you are unsure just bring it to a SE service.

@urednik
same here, I agree with Reeflotz, I don't see any problem with the WB in your photos. If I am not mistaken, you also posted in the SE discussion board regarding the WB alleged problem. I used to complain also regarding the low light pics taken by the Elm. Well, I learned to live with it since I couldn't expect much from a relatively low priced camera phone to perform like a real digital camera. If I needed to take good low light pics, it is much better to bring along a dedicated camera.
Funny but true, I agree with what Degraff said in the SE discussion board: "Buy a camera if you want to take perfect pictures. Geez. You're talking about a phone here." |
