Are camera images better with Cyan update?

[bryanibuan]

Anyone who received the Cyan update on their 920? Can someone please make a pre-Cyan and post-Cyan comparison to see if they made some imaging improvement? Seems like only the 1520, 930 and Icon are receiving the 'Better colors' improvement on the camera.

Bump - I'd also like to see if anyone notices a difference in camera performance. I'm tired of my pictures getting ruined by the terrible post-processing.

IMHO, I never had a ruined ones and the quality is really good

Try a hard reset. I can't have the update, I am on DP and I can't downgrade because I don't have a PC with Windows 7.

Yes, try hard reset. Working just fine here with Cyan and even after upgrading Cyan to Developers Preview 8.1 Update 1

Is there any changes or improvement in the camera?

If you are asking about any noticeable changes in the application - no. I can't complain about the picture quality. Mostly never fails to capture a good moment for me.

My 925 had the abhorent yellow tint due to poor post processing algorithms, as well as the clarity being washed out (even on the computer it looks pretty embarassing). Updated to Cyan, nothing improved. Such a disappointment. My ATIV S Neo takes more accurate pictures now, I hate to say.

I snapped some picture before Cyan to make a comparison.

Clever me accidentally backed up my sd card before I snapped those pics, and reformatted the SD card.

The images are bad

And again the same story, guys take the picture with your lumia and with other devices and compare them if its plain bad you are not good with photography. Reason why I said that its because I had the chance to play with a S4/Lumia920 (portico)/Lumia 920 (black) (guess what minimal difference when I get some time I'll post the pictures you whiners), and please stop that portico excuse , just please stop it.

I have two 920, one with Portico, one with Cyan and I can confirm that the postprocessing of Cyan (like Black and Amber) is terrible.
If you want I can send some photos for permit you to make a comparison beetween the two device (with the same configuration settings and same image model)

Please, stop to say "you are not good with photography" (a question: do you work for Microsoft/Nokia?)

PS: the postprocessing issue seems to be solved with Cyan only on 630,1520 devices (like explain Nokia in the Cyan history log)

 

[idzfar0203]

all possible trouble shoot has been try.. still same result.. rollback to black until have time to check with NCC

 

[Lumiaa620]

Also have 2 devices and your points is still invalid. And if I would work for MS do you think I would read these whining comments?

How old are you ? I think you talk too much without any reasons ))))

It's incredible that they even recognized the problem but only fixed it for the newer mobiles. I am back on portico because the difference especially on video recording is big but after a few months is crashing a lot but even then I am not updating. I cannot believe a big company like Nokia can do something like this and the worse thing is there is no choice.

 

[Soble]

I have 1520 and it's better

 

[Mario92]

Nobody said there will be Cyan updates for any other phone except Icon/1520. Did someone actually expected something new for almost 2 year old phone? LOL

And of course 1520 has better pictures because of more advanced optics, 6 element lens and higher megapixel count.

This thread is pointless.

92x series have F2.0 cameras, while the 520, 930, 1520 all have F2.4 cameras. A lot less light gathering ability on them.

Also, wondering if a firmware update that tinkers with camera post processing (which is independent of the camera, thus the POST) is making any changes to a phone it is going on is hardly pointless.

Edit: better pictures until the lights go down, at least...
