You can also download the untouched video samples - 4K 1080 fps, 1080p quality comparison We like the latter better, but HTC has some work to do on both modes. The 1080p videos at 30 fps seems blurred, while those shot at 60fps are oversharpened. The dynamic range seems a bit lower though. Colors and contrast are great, as is the while balance. The 4K video quality is the same as the still images - there is lots of resolved detail, there is noise too. The 1080p videos have a bitrate of 20Mbps, while their audio stream is at 192Kbps bitrate.

The 4K videos from the main camera have a 41.9Mbps bitrate and the audio is recorded in stereo with a bitrate of 96kbps. This genuinely annoying issue has to do with the fact that the still camera and the video camera have seriously different fields of view (they don't fit the same portion of the scene) and you only get to see the video field of view after you've started recording. While convenient, this unfortunately, makes framing a video correctly impossible unitl you have started recording. The video recording is no longer a dedicated mode, but has its own button in the camera interface. HTC One M9 is capable of capturing 4K videos at 30 fps, as well as taking 1080p clips with 30 of 60 fps (Fast FHD). HTC One M9 in our photo compare tool 4K video recording The luminance noise is the only thing, which might get in the way of the perfect picture. It does resolve plenty of detail, the colors are accurate, and contrast is great too. You can also check the 4MP UltraPixel samples taken with the front selfie camera. HTC One M9 panorama samples: portrait and landscape Still, it's another improvement over the One M8 and we appreciate it. The images are OK, stitching is very good, but the resolved detail is far from great. The panorama resolution has been improved - now it shoots at 1850px in portrait mode and 1080px if you are using landscape view. Unlike the previous generations of HTC Ones, this time around HTC tuned the algorithm and we often got some pleasing high-detail photos, which is definitely an improvement. It gets lots of detail out of the shadows, but the highlights might get overblown. The HTC One M9 is well capable of shooting HDR stills and the results are OK. While the images aren't as spectacular as we've expected, the results came out better than other 20MP shooters, say Xperia Z3, and are a huge improvement over the 4MP UltraPixel samples taken with the previous HTC One (M8) model.Īnd here is great macro sample taken with the HTC One M9. Outside of the high noise levels, the less than stellar dynamic range is what bugs about the HTC One M9 camera. We are more than pleased with the way the camera picks exposure and colors, even in mixed light. In good light the photos are really sharp. It seems HTC chose not to tune the noise levels down in order to keep as much detail as possible and we can live with that. The new 20MP main camera produces nice-looking photos, there is enough detail, but there is lots of luminance noise too. It also comes with a BSI sensor, an aperture of f/2.0, a 26.8mm wide-angle lens and is capable of 1080p video recording. It is very similar to the main camera of the One (M8), but it doesn't have auto focus. The front-facing shooter is a very impressive HTC 4MP UltraPixel module. You can set the volume rocker to act as a zoom lever or a shutter key. There are also settings for maximum ISO, exposure compensation, white balance and image adjustments.Ī long press on the screen will lock exposure and focus.
#HTC ONE M9 REVIEW ROMANA MANUAL#
The One M9 is also capable of taking HDR stills, macro shots, there is Night mode, and even Manual mode is available. You can add more shooting modes though - the available options are Bokeh, Photo Booth (4 snaps in a grid) and Split Capture (dual-camera capture).

Your choice of shooting modes includes: Selfie, Camera, Panorama. The shooter's interface seems to be absolutely identical to the one in the One (M8), which is in no way a complaint, as it has already proven its worth.

The camera lens does not offer optical image stabilization, which according to HTC is mostly due to lack of physical space inside the device, as well as quality control issues, meaning it's hard to mass produce up to high standards. Although it isn't officially cited in the specs sheet, the 10:7 aspect native aspect squarely points towards a Toshiba sensor. The sensor size is 1/2.3" and the maximum resolution is 5376 x 3752 pixels. The camera uses as a 27.8 mm wide angle lens with an aperture of f/2.2 and a sapphire lens cover. With a brand new 20MP BSI sensor, HTC has opted out of the dual-camera setup and there is no OIS here. The HTC One M9 is finally taking imaging seriously.
