FP5: Kamera light enhancement/ night Mode too strong

[ThomasP82]

Dear Fairphone Company and Users,
I am really enjoying the FP5 and i also like the Camera during daytime. But i struggle with pictures in Low light. But my problem in Low light is rather counterintuitive: the pictures are too bright and you can see too much! It seems Like the Camera Software pushes too much light enhancement. In my opinion, the Software could “relax” a little bit more and should let darker scenes be dark.
The current enhancement could be pushed too the night Mode.
I try to Upload two Pictures from my Home. One in Auto-Mode (the bright one) and one with Manual settings in pro-mode, which reflect the real lighting and atmosphere.
Without deep knowledge of the Software, i Just think that this could be tackled, because the light enhancement is “too good”
Best regards and seasons greetings
Thomas

Hi and welcome, as long as HDR is not selected you could just manually adjust brightness even with normal photo mode, see discussion here

Camera app - exposure

If you tap an area in the photo mode and the ring appears that indicates the location of exposure/focus, you can further adjust exposure by swiping up or down on the screen. This also works with the AE lock. Maybe that helps the thread starter.

Overall it was mentioned here and there in the Gallery topic. However if you want to address feature requests to FP you have to contact their support staff through official channels.

working on the night pictures. tbh I find the night mode too flashy and bright so I did work a bit last night on reducing EV or so [IMG_20240520_002429]
