Ultrapixel Camera Question

[SCjRqrQCnBQ19QoYCtdl]

Not the case. Well, you are not going to get a shutter speed priority setting. I also don't see it taking a photo at too high a speed of its shutter, but if you tell it what to focus on, it will then do spot metering instead of center weight metering.

Since ill never remember every setting besides the basic ones that can be changed, here is a list I pulled from a review...
The rest of the settings include crop aspect ratios (Wide - 16:9, Regular - 4:3, Square - 1:1), video quality (1080p, 720p, MMS 176x144), review duration, image adjustments (exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpness), ISO (Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600), white balance, continuous shooting, camera options, shutter options (tap to capture, sound), lock focus on video (disable CAF) and auto upload.

I hope that helped.

Looking at Anandtech review/discussion of this has me a bit concrened: AnandTech | The HTC One Review

Well, if I am able to choose the ISO then I will be happy since I assume the phone will adjust the shutter speed the best it can to expose based on that setting. I thought I read that the ISO settings are not hard settings though, that the phone regularly over rides the settings - anyone know if that is true? What is the point of OIS, f/2 and bigger pixels if they won't let you shot at a low ISO in low light?. If the phone overides my ISO setting I will not be happy.

I never thought warpdrive was down on the phone. It was clear that he was down on people gushing about it who don't know what they're talking about. Big difference.

Ok, I wasn't talking about this. But you are also misunderstanding what Brian at anandtech is saying.

For clarity, I'll talk about your topic first.

In low light, if you set the ISO to 400, it will not use an ISO higher then 400. It might set your ISO to ISO 100 if you have forgotten that the last time you shot some pics that you set it to 400, but now you are outside in bright sunlight.
This looks not like a bug to me, but a software tweak that HTC put in so a novice won't mess up their next photo shoot because they forgot that the last time they used the camera, they changed the ISO from "auto" to something else.

But there is more...

Auto ISO and night mode work differently.
Auto is better for you to stop subject movement, while night mode is best used when you don't care about subject movement...or would rather have less noise. Night mode will use a lower ISO then auto. As such, it will use a slower shutter speed.

So, with that said, no. If you set the ISO to 100 while outside, it will never shoot above that.

_____________________

What I was talking about is that on auto ISO, the One looks like it shoots at a higher ISO then say another phone...even in bright daylight.
So while on full auto, an S4 might pick iso100 the One might pick iso200.
I understand why the One might use aggressive ISO at night, but in bright daylight there is no reason.

Please feel free to ask questions if I wasn't clear. Or give me an example of what you want to do and how you want to change some settings, and I hope that I can then use your example to predict how the camera will handle it.
