Re: Photos Taken With Your Galaxy S III Camera!

thank you - I am hoping that there might be some sort of firmware fix that will allow us to up the screen brightness because it's just terrible outside - you just can't see very much. I'm surprised that I got such good pictures!

The light wasn't really low - it was just overcast. Had it been sunny I wouldn't have been able to frame the pictures at all.

Here's a couple of flowers. Previously, I have only used the TW camera, but these were all taken with Vignette.

Took some pictures last night at Lubbers Stadium at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. The Lakers won 83-46 over Notre Dame College.

Re: Photos Taken With Your Galaxy S III Camera!

I've read that you can take photos where everything is black and white except you can leave one color. Does anybody know how to do that?

Re: Photos Taken With Your Galaxy S III Camera!

what settings are you folks using? A lot of my pictures are showing up really washed out to the point it's disappointing.

Re: Photos Taken With Your Galaxy S III Camera!

I'm glad you asked this question because I've discovered, just as I have with every other digital camera I've used, that pictures tend to be overexposed - and highlights burnt out - if you don't use negative exposure compensation: With the camera open click on the cog and then "Exposure Value" and move the slide down to minus 1 or 2.

You will immediately see an improvement in your pictures.

I've also found that in highly contrasty situations - like taking a picture of people in a room with bright windows all around, if I use the HDR setting the exposure is evened out. Along the same vein, the panorama setting will even out exposures as well (of course you should be making a panorama).

In situations like this one:
Ricky sunbathing photo - Isabel Cutler photos at pbase.com
...a minus exposure value keeps the highlighted areas from burning out.

Let us know what happens when you try that minus exposure setting.

Thank you very much, will try this out. I wanted to avoid messing with ISO and exposure compensation too much but if I can just set and forget than that would rule.

edit: well I'll be, definitely some slight improvement but too early to say for sure. Going to keep testing. Appreciate the tip to adjust exposure compensation.
