HTC One: ISO fault makes obsolete the current camera tests

clip_image002

The HTC one is not only known for the beautiful aluminum housing, but also for the bold step with regard to the camera. The Taiwanese have swum with the device against the swarm and have the megapixel number reduced. It is a so-called ultra-pixel camera with four megapixels used, which is to produce particularly good results in low light conditions. The first tests have, however, gives a different impression, but this was probably distorted by a software error.

The colleagues of Techstage have made ​​an interesting discovery and discovered an explanation for the weakness in the camera. In a series of comparison photos and laboratory test, the device is not fared particularly well, but these results may now be obsolete. An error in the settings of ISO, so the sensitivity prevents you to manually adjust. For example, although the ISO speed is set at 400, the camera shoots still photos with the 100th IOS The user can only define the maximum allowable ISO sensitivity. Photos are always shot with ISO 100 and therefore cannot be compared properly to other devices. In the EXIF ​​data of the JPEG photo is actually only the maximum allowable ISO value specified and not actually used sensitivity.

HTC has already been informed of this error and is working on an appropriate software update.
