The 2nd photo is much better. What OS version is that? The first one has yellow/green tint.

Android's Cyanogenmod 10.1.3

it's my old Galaxy Note N7000 using stock android camera with auto setting. Such a shame, right?

Does 630 come with Nokia Cyan firmware??? I thought it isn't ready yet. If so, what are the additions of the Cyan firmware?

All 630 born with Lumia Cyan

 

[supershi80]

I receive a first feedback on my post in 630 forum and seems to be that Lumia Cyan fixed the issue ))))))

I hope a lot that will be confirmed from more users that use Lumia Cyan phones

But they won't perfect the camera of their old flagship devices.they want the customers to upgrade to New Windows phone.that is tactical move by all smartphone companies including Apple.

NOOOOOO. Microsoft is still supporting old hardware (Lumia 520 equally , they could easily say sorry cortana isn't available due to low RAM , ehh apple did the same for iPhone 4. Siri was not available on iPhone 4 but with jailbreak/tweaks user were able to enable it. Now consider this example , iPad 2 has the same exact hardware as iPhone4S but it never get Siri ? )

Any news?? This is still happening... green tint is HORRIBLE... I can't take a photo without it, I hate my 925 just for that...

According to some news, Cyan is bringing improvements to camera performance. They mention "better colors", which could be this green tint/white balance issue, but will this really come to 1520 and 930 only? Or maybe 920 and others will be fixed but they just won't admit the problem with these older devices?

Lumia Cyan update said to improve low-light performace on Lumia Icon, 1520 and 930
Lumia Cyan update said to bring much-needed camera fixes

Ok guys, I have been away from here for a long time and was part of this discussion earlier. But I have found a solution to the yellow hue disaster and it is to give up on the nokia camera app. I now use MS's default wp 8.1 camera app and even though you cant tweak the camera as much as nokia camera, the ms camera app gives me sharper and hue free images. The app also loads way faster than nokia camera. I have 2 920's both running 8.1 preview and i did side by side comparison on both devices between the nokia cam and ms's cam and the MS's one has definitely done better post pro. try for yourself and let me know.

I can't find the MS Cam you are talking about, what do they call it?

I did agree when 8.1 preview first came out, but now I'm not sure. I will make a detailed comparison tomorrow

In the app list it is simply called Camera.

Yeah, thats the one.

I am using DP since the begin and I have to say the quality is the same (for me at least). Its a bit faster but that would be it. Still NokiaCamera the daily runner here.

(by the way, the sistem for uploading pictures to this forum is BEYOND annoying...)

Black is so much better. Very good review!

This yellow tint happens sometimes, but definitely it's not always and don't ruined the photo experience.
