Xperia 5 ii camera is noisy

Victor_ZVV — Sun, 15 Nov 2020 12:38:43 GMT

Hello!

Are there any Xperia 5 ii owners?

Have you paid attention to camera noise? With the Xperia 5, I didn't notice this noise.

It is quiet, but still there. It is noticeable especially in silence or when you bring it closer to your ear. This noise remains in the recorded video. Cannot be heard in a noisy place.

There is a slight click when turning on the camera.

Is this a defect?

Thank you for your response.

Victor.

My guess would be that these are the tones the phone plays to declare audibly that a button had been pressed, like the keyboard sounds.

The noise comes from the camera's stabilizer.

This sound makes me happy as a photographer. I can’t check now, the phone has just been bought, but it’s already under repair

The noise really comes from the camera stabilizer.
But it bothers me that there is more noise than in the Xperia 5. Working with the Xperia 5, I had no idea that there was noise. But when I turned on the camera on the Xperia 5ii, I immediately heard a distinct noise. Noticeably noisier.

And further. When shooting with the Xperia 5 in low light, the video is brighter but dimmer than when shooting with the Xperia 5ii. In the latter case, there is more noise in the video files.

Maybe that's the case in my Xperia 5ii?

Maybe I need to customize the Xperia 5ii?
All video recordings are made in the standard application.

First screenshot - More noise reduction work, less detail. The second is the opposite. It is right. Over time, you can install a third-party application that will allow you to change settings and not overshoot the ISO whenever possible.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
So, in general, Xperia II 5 worked better?

Re: Xperia 5 ii camera is noisy

Pavel.i — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 20:06:47 GMT

Yes, better

But you need to shoot lighter

What happened to your smartphone?

I have already exchanged my smartphone for a new one. In my first Xperia 5, the speaker reproduced some frequencies poorly (rattling sound).

In my Xperia 5II on the video in the twilight, the brightness jumps. Sometimes brighter, sometimes dimmer. I do not know how to fix this.

Is the processing slow? The software can still be raw? I installed the picture, after 7 seconds it changes to a dimmer one. I slightly shifted the camera towards the lighter side, the brightness increased.

In general, I am pleased with the phone, but now I am waiting for a response from the Sony Service Center about this problem

Виктор, пляшущая яркость мне тоже очень не нравится, у самсунга такого нет, но там другие проблемы. Выход один - снимать с ручными настройками. Если будете это делать в программе Синема Про, запись будет осуществляться в специфический формат HDR HLG, который предполагает обработку. Да еще и странный для домашнего потребления 21:9. Другое решение: разобраться в базовых понятиях видеосъемки и снимать в сторонней программе.

I don't like the rapidly changing brightness either. There is only one way out - to shoot with manual settings. If you do this in the Cinema Pro program, the recording will be carried out in a specific HDR HLG format, which assumes processing. Another solution: learn the basic concepts of filming and shoot in a third-party program.

Павел, в моем Xperia 5 (не в новом Xperia 5ii) такого нет. Только проверил.

Это что-то с софтом, либо с железом. Отмечу, что Xperia 5 собрана в июле этого года. Это последняя или почти последняя сборка, т.е. с исправлениями. Xperia 5 ii из первой поставки. Может в этом дело. Но не факт.

Pavel, my Xperia 5 (not the new Xperia 5ii) doesn't have this. I just checked.

This is something with software or hardware. Note that the Xperia 5 was assembled in July this year. This is the last or almost the last build, i.e. with corrections. Xperia 5 ii from the first delivery. Maybe that's the case. But not a fact.

В Xperia 5I яркость меняется плавнее, чем в 5II?

Does the Xperia 5I change brightness more smoothly when shooting movies than the 5II?

Re: Xperia 5 ii camera is noisy

Я имею в виду, что , если камера уже установлена на, скажем, некоторый угол стены в тусклом свете, то яркость не меняется со временем. В моем Xperia 5ii это не так. При низкой освещенности сначала яркость картинки вроде ничего, а потом раз - и стала темнее. Чуть сдвинул камеру в сторону - опять посветлело. Не знаю, брак ли это, или у многих так.

А так, да. Яркость и на Xperia 5 может не плавно меняться при движении камеры из более светлой области комнаты в более темную и наоборот.

What I mean is that if the camera is already mounted on (say, some corner of a wall in dim light), then the brightness does not change over time. In the Xperia 5ii, this is not the case in my case. In low light, at first, the brightness of the picture seems to be nothing, and then once - it became darker. He moved the camera a little to the side - it brightened again.

In general, the brightness on the Xperia 5 may not change smoothly as the camera moves from a lighter area of the room to a darker one.

Павел, здравствуйте!

Если я Вам скину ссылку на видео, снятое с Xperia 5 и Xperia 5 ii, сможете их просмотреть и поделиться мнением о камерах? Где лучше. Мне, как неспециалисту, кажется , что на Xperia 5II шума больше, но в то же время, деталей больше. А на Xperia 5 изображение какое-то замыленное, не такое четкое. Снимал все в полумраке в стандартном приложении, настройки по умолчанию.

Pavel, hello!

If I send you a link to a video taken with Xperia 5 and Xperia 5 ii, can you watch them and share your opinion about the cameras? Where is better. Filmed everything in a standard application, default settings.
