Sony M5 front camera needs full functionality

usman-101 — Wed, 27 Apr 2016 21:55:05 GMT

As M5 front camera is 13 pixel, it should behave like complete camera. Also lcd bright function should be available as flash for night selfies. I can achieve these facilities by using Mx camera but i need through Sony software groups. I'll wait for reply because every good company respect their customers' feelings.

This is a user based forum, you can send your feedback to Sony directly >>> Local support

On a side note, take advantage of a smartphone and check the playstore, they will have an app or multiple apps to customize your phone as you please, you no longer have to wait for a OEM to release an update to add features, in other words you have a smartphone not a feature phone.

When you use Camera MX does the camera focus as fast as when using the Sony s/w? When I use Fv-5 it is slower, so I guess it only uses contrast dectection.

Would you be so kind as to post some results from your camera, especially from some objects over 1m away from the front camera and over 10-20m away for the rear camera.

What would be ideal is if you also take some with some objects in the forground but with the focus on the objects further away.

Mx camera is a bit slower, also it take much battery due to increasing screen light.

Personally i found this phone good in camera quality. It will be more good, if Sony takes some steps. In my friends, everyone believe in Sony camera's quality now.

As I said I too was hoping for a great camera, but mine has problems. I would love to see your results. If you are not comfortable shaing publicly, please PM me.

BTW, I too have FV-5 increase the brightness! Makes it easier to get a sense of Exposure.

If this feature it's implemented to the M5 front facing camera, it will drain your battery similar to third party apps. Perhaps the Xperia C3, C4 and C5 are better alternatives since they have front facing flash.

But with that said, do send your suggestions to Sony.

Have you considered third party apps such as this

I'm sure uliwooly will tell us the best way to post pictures.

If I understood how to @ him I would give him a nudge...

In the full editor on desktop/full site version - there is a "Insert picture" button with the classic landscape icon.

@icstm

There isn't a way to add a picture on the mobile version, why? I've asked this question before, the reason is that the mobile version has to be as fast and direct as possible.

So what now? either enter full version, but that will require to wait for a moderator to approve the picture.

ok so what do you suggest? upload the picture(s) to dropbox, box, drive, etc and post the link here.

@uliwooly i think having front camera without functions is alsoof no use. Atleast some filters shokud be present. I used some downloaded applications inside camera, but by using long battery mode, they don't appear

That's normal that certain features won't be present if you are using stamina mode, those other downloadable cameras and AR drain quite a bit of battery.
