Mobile Photography in 2024: Sony Xperia 1V How To Take Stunning Photos With Photo Pro App
I've watched your Xiaomi 14 Ultra review as a photographer and I am extremely happy with the fact you truly do try a lot of the different possibilities with the hardware. A lot of reviewers lazily take a few shots and call it a day, it's genuinely hard to find someone who cares a lot about pushing hardware to its limits. I recently have imported an Iqoo 12 from China, and while I was making an informed decision and knew the kind of camera performances I'd be getting, I was still blown away by how strong the camera was. In fact, I just never saw anyone try hard enough with it! Reviewers are mostly not photographers, and for reviews of camera centric products, it really makes reviews meaningless... Thanks a lot for the inspirating videos and keep up the amazing work. Your editing is relaxing and well paced, the shots looks good and professional, keep it up!
Thank you ever so much for the kind words, much appreciated 😃 I know indeed a lot of people review tech as tech and not as a tool to create art aka these cameras have such MP count, they can do this and that but my take on it is that one can achieve great things as soon as they start forgetting they're using a phone but start concentrating on the principles of photography. More content on the way 👍
Does it can shoot bokeh or depth of field?
Shoot video
Yes it does, but I do not tend to use those modes, I use the phone as I would use an actual camera, in manual, raw and edit in lightroom afterwards, again just like I would with a camera.
Have you noticed any brightness problems after the latest camera update? A friend of mine says the update have killed his joy of night photography with the 14u. 😬
Tbh I haven't, no... Maybe that's something that happened in automatic jpg mode ? I shoot manual RAW 99% of the time. Might be worth having a look on Reddit if others have experienced the same thing ?
Cool, greetings from 🇮🇩,, steady,,, must be expensive ea 🤔🤔🤔
I'm very disappointed with mine. I think the vivo with zeiss would have been a better choice.
It's what you do with a camera that matters, not the badges 🤷
@@UpsideLens that's true. But i really expected better after the hype. I'm a Xiaomi fan and have used them for a while. I thought this phone might lure me away from Leicas 🙈 I guess that was wishful thinking. You're working well with it though 👍🏼
Does anyone know if Xiaomi have addressed any of the issues with the photo kit before buying it? Any type of update?
Nope still the main issue of not being able to lock focus on half press. I have raised the issue on various platforms but no answers were given and the grip hasn't been updated since, at least on my UK version
@@UpsideLens OK, thanks for the response, many thanks, holding back on that for the time being. Cheers.
@leegalea9724 I mean it is good for the case alone and the ability to use filters and the grip does act as a power bank, I just don't use it as a grip that's all
Many thanks, will be using the ultra 14 to document deep cave exploration as well. Handset arriving tomorrow, and really looking forward to it. Thanks for all of your help.
If shooting video in low light aka deep cave exploration I highly suggest you shoot with a third party app called fcpro24fps and use their 10bit log mode at full bitrate (160mbps) which not only allows for a much cleaner less processed look than native app due to bypassing the ISP but also allows for much more in-depth editing afterwards
Much appreciated the info regarding the photo kit before purchasing. One more point. The original camera kit for the Ultra 13 had bluetooth capability, which was a plus. The ultra 14 kit has had this substituted for the usb connection. For the money it could have had both options.
True but at the same time it is more convenient to have a consistent USB connection which reduces the shutter lag, which is the reason they used it. Plus we get a power bank use out of it 👍
We need to know can it shoot 4k60 LOG on all cameras?
It can when used with third party app like fcpro24fps where you can use a true LOG and 10bit at a much higher nitrate and bypassing the processing of the ISP. Gives better results than even iPhone Prores !
But all these pictures are taken manually I would love to see how this camera performed in point and shoot scenario, because most of the users will use point and shoot.
I have made a video comparing this phone to other phones in regular jpg but this channel focuses on actual photography as opposed to point and shoot jpg automatic mode.
Is the Camera always using the full megapixel count? Or does it like in the normal mode made 12mp pictures?
Basically it always uses the full sensor then down samples it to 12mp. However you can use the 50mp mode and you end up with the full 50mp but that's only good if used in good lighting.
@@UpsideLens B7ut the RAW Pictures (when used) are always full size images?! I kinda get the point to use the downsampled image. My Xiaomi 12 also has a 50mp sensor. and i placed the 50mp button right next to Photo, so i can get my full sized images. But when i like to set it as standart, there isnt a option for that.
Great photography! The photos that you show in the video, are they straight from camera or have they had any post processing?
I shoot all my photos in RAW meaning that I edited them. I used lightroom classic 👍
Wowww....did you use just the camera app and filter from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, or are you using your professional custom preset? It's an insane good review!"
Hi I shoot in Xiaomi camera app using RAW and manual mode only and edit my photos in lightroom classic 👍
Crying watching this from my Samsung S23 Ultra 😢. Great job Xiaomi.
for video which one is better? xiaomi or xperia?
Hi I made a video review of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, video especially if using third party apps like motion cam or fcpro24fps will be much much better on the Xiaomi.
@@UpsideLensouh, if use original apps does xperia is better? Does this 2 devices can shoot bokeh video, depth of field video or macro video?
Hola gran video, le comento tengo el Sony 1 V, pero cuando tomo una imagen en 335 mm zoom máximo en la pantalla antes de tomar es buena, pero ya tomada la foto el resultado es pésimo, no es nítida y eso que uso un trípode. Si sabes de eso, espero me apoye.. Gracias
Unfortunately using digital zoom will always give you less than desirable results even on a tripod. You need to stick to the "real" native focal lengths for best results
This one is looks really good but also quite expensive for me. Is there any other phone in the market that can compete with Xiaomi 14 Ultra when it comes to Macro photography?
your Vlog camera was??
The Xiaomi, I do talk about how I only used the Xiaomi for all b-roll and talking shots. I only used the GoPro for POV footage.
I gave up Xperia 1 V a few weeks ago and went to iPhone 15 Pro Max. Tele lens is so much better, and at night also much more reliable. Usage is way more relaxed. I was always stressing taking picture with Sony, I had to do 5-10 copies of the same, where 1 was coming out sharp. Especially on the telephoto.
The Xperia phones are all about manual mode, to get good shots you need to shoot raw in manual mode and edit your photos afterwards. That's how you can get camera like shots. iPhone photos are processed straight out of the box and even in raw mode which from a photographer point of view is everything you do not want. It's fine for photos you want to show friends and family, the photo of the lasagne you cooked up and random daily stuff but for actual photography iPhones are just not there yet. They produce images that scream "I was shot on a phone" and it's due to iPhones having small sensors and iOS processing the photos over the top. Again it's fine for most but as a photographer that just is not a good starting point.
Finally found someone show xiaomi14 Ultra and show how good the photo and the real situvation faced , taking random people photo , show how clear and fast even just pure like sniper shot without themself being in position of taking photo instead of many joker just talk talk talk take photo randomly or duno what even themself taking, it is annoying no point at all.
I'm glad you enjoyed the content my man 👍 thank you for the kind words, really appreciate 😃
Has anyone found out how to show the Grip battery level? The Grip handbook gives instruction on how to add a battery widget for the Grip to the homescreen - but they are wrong.
Not too sure tbh but I definitely can see the battery level when first plugged in, after that tho.....
@@UpsideLens Yes, that's the only place I can find it. Well, you can also press the Grip shutter button and whether it's connected to the camera or not, a red light means its battery is below 20%. But I want to know more clearly than that!
Good points. I've had my 14 Ultra with Photography Kit for a few days now and I'm so happy with it because I've been waiting for something like this for over 10 years. As others have said, thankfully the defects are all in the software so a fix shouldn't be a big deal, and should apply retroactively to all us old users. 1. The lack of focus fix on a half-press is just daft. 2. The zoom lever inoperative in Pro mode is equally daft (but I don't use Pro mode) 3. The defect someone else mentioned that after using the red button to go take a video, the shutter button just takes videos as well! Daft upon daftness! who are these moron programmers? (I programmed for 50 years so I think I'm entitled to say that). 4. The problem you mentioned about the right hand thumb area triggering phone mode - I couldn't recreate it. I thought maybe it's because you were using 16:9 aspect ratio, but no, you use 4:3 like me. However, I hate the new Android button-less swiping mode for the Navigation Bar (at the bottom of the screen), so I always select to have buttons. The thing is, those buttons only appear if you swipe up from the bottom, so I'm not in any danger of triggering them accidentally. [I've got good reasons for hating the Gesture Mode Navigation Bar, but that's another story] N.B. You will also have to select option "Automatically disable navigation buttons when status bar isn't displayed", then you should not suffer from this problem.
Unfortunately at this stage I don't think any update will sort those issues since it has been a few months and after posting this video, logging it in on feedback app and contact CEO directly via twitter, nothing has changed... One can hope but.....
@@UpsideLens Well, well done for reaching out to the CEO! I wonder, if any of us could write in Mandarin/Hanji, if the points would gain more traction. They must get a bit sick of having to deal in our language.
@lesact I mean in all fairness being CEO of such a big company kinda entails having to speak English at the very least I would assume haha
@@UpsideLens Ha ha, yes. But then he passes the message to his staff. Long story, brief explanation. I was in China recently. The "Century of humiliation" is a big thing. Well, I know how I'd feel if people with inferior technology kept writing to me in Chinese.
@lesact true true
How do DXOMark manage to rank this lower than many other smartphone cameras given the beautiful results you are managing to produce? I find the same contradiction with the S24 Ultra which is producing more colour accurate daylight shots and better lowlight shots than my Oppo Find X7 Ultra! As an experienced photographer, do you find DXO misleading? Lovely video btw!
Ok I won't speak ill of big names out there but all I'll say is you wouldn't be the first person questioning DxOMark's integrity 🫢😅
Are you kidding (or just paid)??? When you said the images of London Eye, were more sharp on the Xiaomi, and blurred on the Xperia, I stopped watching the socalled rewiew. Everyone can see that the images on Xperia is with much better sharpness and richer colours. But try using the Pro mode on Xperia, it will blow any other phone off.
You must be paid yourself in that case... And in manual ? Be my guest and watch the rest of the video, noise on all RAWS at all ISO... having owned the 1V for over 6 months I can even go as far as saying the VI is worse in its raw processing ! More artefacting in lens distortion and correction (as shown on video) and unacceptable levels of noise on telephoto shots ! I'm not a brand snob and don't praise a company just because they're called Sony or Apple, fanboyism has to stop at some point so manufacturers can actually improve ! Not acceptable in 2024 for a brand to re-use an old tiny sensor they've been using since the 1IV in this sub-par telephoto !
@@UpsideLens Again, how can you expect to be taken seriously, when you claim the London Eye to be noisy on Xperia and more sharp on Xiaomi, thats the exact opposite. But anyway in general, I guess you prefer processed Imaging, as used to be the trend for many socalled reviewers (read; none photographers). People have to make up their own verdict, but never based on one single review alone. I've seen many reviews thats tells another story, made by reviewers that obviously is neutral.
@michaelnielsen9685 look dude, you do you, I had the V, I tested the VI and it's all there to be seen if you remove the blinkers, whether you can see past the fanboyism is down to you, can't do that for you. Nothing is in it for me, Xiaomi ain't gonna pay a 2k subs channel to make up a fake review lol at the end of the day if you think the VI is better than the Xiaomi then great, just remember the sensors are just on another level on the Xiaomi, which just gonna throw it out there, are also made by Sony ! Just much newer and larger than what they could put inside their OWN phone lol have a great day 👍😊
Xiaomi probably would release a camera grip version 2
Technically this IS version 2, they already had one for the 13 Ultra, still can't get my head around how they didn't include the ability to lock focus on half press of the shutter button like any camera can do !!! 🤯 Blows my mind !
the Sony Lytia LYT-900 one inch sensor is amazing
It is indeed really good 👌
Excellent review. Have been using Xiaomi 13 Pro for quite sometime. Do u recommend i upgrade to Xiaomi 14 ultra. Please suggest.
I haven't tried the 13 ultra myself but from what I've seen, yes the improvements are there (better sensors, full variable aperture...) but it probably isn't worth upgrading. I'd wait until the 15 ultra is announced and make a decision then 👍
@@UpsideLens Ok Bro. Will sure take your advice when Xiaomi 15 Ultra is launched. Thanks.. :-)
You're welcome have a nice day bud 👍
Did you compare the Xiaomi with the Xperia 1 VI, it would be more useful.
I did, and the VI fared worse if that's possible ! Go watch that video 👍
@@UpsideLens I am not advocating either Sony, I have an Ultra 14, my point was one of relevance as your title is Best Camera Phone of 2024 for Photography - the Xperia 1 V was released on May 11, 2023 so I would expect any 2024 flagship to beat it easily.
The VI wasn't out when I made this video. Fact remains that the V is still a better phone than the VI for photography. The 14 Ultra though beats both by a long margin.
Thank you for all the awesome videos on Xiaomi 14 ultra. Where can I find the 'firework' / 'light painting' in 14 ULtra as I couldn't find it 😊. Ppsstt love the t-shirt and salutations from Singapore.
Thank you for the kind words 👍 you have a beautiful country ! Been there a few times in the past and absolutely love Singapore ! Now for the settings you're looking for they're hidden in the more/features section in the photo app (by default you scroll to the right to find those settings where it says video, photo, portrait....) Now I personally wouldn't use those as for one you can only use them in jpg, meaning you wouldn't be able to edit them properly afterwards but also this type of processing won't give you realistic results, it's all trickery and post processing. I suggest instead to switching to manual mode instead and playing with exposure length (slow shutter speed) 👍
I got an Xperia 1 iii 15 months ago, and a 1 v three months ago. I chose this phone for a number of reasons, one of which was the capacity to control the camera settings, as opposed to basically all other smartphones which decide for you how your pictures will look like. I’m a beginner to photography and both your videos - even the first one you don’t like - were perfect to understand what those settings are about and to allow me to use the camera as it is supposed to be. Much appreciated and many thanks..
You're very welcome and I'm really glad it has helped you understand the manual settings 👍 the best tip I can give you now is to go out there and practice, practice and practice some more 😊 that's how I started myself, the more effort you put into it the better your get at it, have a good day 👍
¡Gracias!
I have the Xiaomi 14 ultra Which raw is better. Raw or ultra raw? Also if you can get your hands on a Motorola edge 30 ultra. I used to use the raw from that one and it was more organic. The dng files were original 25mb. Here it seems Xiaomi is somewhat pre processing the raw(like gcam raw) so file sizes are lesser than 15mb usually
It depends on the use case, ultra raw stacks raws to effectively Denoise the photos. At night time I definitely wouldn't use ultra raw as it will add shutter lag which will be the difference between a crisp shot and a blurry one. In bright daylight ultra raw can give you cleaner shots but do bare in mind you wouldn't be able to run lightroom Denoise afterwards (at least not effectively) as it is already processed.
@@UpsideLens ok cool thank you. Let me go with raw only then. I wish the front camera also had raw like my moto that I sold. I am currently using gcam for front camera raw Like you, I also kind of do not use auto mode, unless it's extremely dark and I can't hold my phone so still, for a low iso. Because it seems to do too many unnecessary things. Not many people actually understand this.
Tbh unless it's a selfie for friends and family I'd avoid the front camera completely, I've never actually used it myself 😅 they're just tiny sensors and no good comes out of them generally 👍 yes manual + raw is the way to go 👍
@@UpsideLens yes agreed. Atleast they could try some half decent sensors. The moto's 60mp I was able to extract good detail at day time from it and managed to output selfies better than most flagships, even the popular ones. But yeah turning around the camera, not everyone seems to be fond of
It's all about physics at the end of the day, the bigger the sensor (not MP) the bigger the optics so it would be nigh on impossible to fit a descent sensor at the front. Nothing wrong with turning the phone the other way round 🤷 alternatively get someone to take a photo of you instead 😉
Update here : I have settled on the Sony Alpha 6700 camera for my channel , arrives next month then Ill be starting a new YT. Ihave totally lost faith in Sony Xperia now.
The A6700 is an awesome camera 👍 I'm sure you'll be very happy with it 😄
@@UpsideLens cheers matey
I think something you could do that no one and I mean literally no one has done is go really in depth on how far you can push the dynamic range I think it would be really informative and it could differentiate yourself from other people that do mobile photography. Like they will do it with any other sony camera or some flagship like they will wax poetic about the dynamic range but they never really show how far you can really push it Outside of that keep it up cheers to 2k subs and I really look forward to more of your content
Amazing shots! I am having this phone too, may I know what mode did you use for these photos?
It is an awesome phone indeed I'm sure you'll love it ! I always shoot in manual / RAW 👍
Keep up the good work, when it comes to phone photography you know what your talking about! That's a lot more than some of the big guns here on YT.
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊❤️ means a lot 👍
Can't wait to see 20k subs and more for your channel 🎉

1st
Hi everybody. Soon I will probably change my phone to another one and I do not understand which one is better for me to consider for purchase. I have two options Xiaomi 14 ultra and Samsung galaxy s24 Ultra. I buy it mainly only for the possibility of photography. And in the country where I live, in a country where everyone says that the worst phone is the iPhone and it's the worst in everything. (I don't think so. in principle, I don't even consider buying it). I understand perfectly well that this Xiaomi 14 ultra phone is probably the worst for mobile photography. But what bothers me is that if you take people whose phones cost more than $ 1,500, there will be 9 iPhones and 1 Samsung and 0 Xiaomi 14 ultra and it bothers me. Probably this phone has a minimum number of interested users (Those who really think about the photo and not just click on the button and see what happened) well, that is, Mobile photographers. Or they just don't buy it just because it's Xiaomi and not an IPHONE...? And yes, I understand that Xiaomi 14 ultra shoots louder than Samsung galaxy s24 ultra, but I'm interested in the difference and how big it is? (I use a translator) my English is not good enough to write this message...
Very simply there are 2 things to think about. If you know photography in general (like with a real camera) then Xiaomi 14 ultra will give you some of the best photos you can have in 2024. If you're not into photography and like point and shoot and don't want to edit your photos then either iPhone or Samsung. Both Samsung and iPhones have mediocre sensors and if you want to shoot raw they both have a lot of processing, which is not good. So to summarise. If you want point and shoot in jpg and no editing then iPhone or Samsung. If you want to shoot raw, and edit the files to get the best photos a phone can shoot in 2024 then Xiaomi.
Обзор очень сильно предвзятый.....
The review is not biased... Please look at my actual Xperia 1 VI review where I compare it to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, there is no question that when it comes to quality the Xperia 1 VI doesn't do very well due to many factors highlighted in the video. I bought the Xiaomi 14 ultra with my own money, I used to own the Xperia 1 V and a subscriber lent me their Xperia 1 VI to do the review so this video is not biased by any means, I don't get paid by any of the said brands , the shots shown in the videos show the results...
Sony имеет лучшее макро... ( проигрывает только vivo x100 ultra) обзорщик руки кривоватые😊
Unfortunately I will have to disagree. Having tested the Xperia 1VI I can positively say that the macro mode is not very good and here are the reasons why. No RAW macro mode, only very compressed jpg, then there is no autofocus when in macro mode, then the 48mp mode is not available when shooting macro, the stabilisation is hopeless when using macro and lastly, due to using the old telephoto sensor (the one used in the Xperia 1IV) the detail is very mushy and the bokeh ends up not looking pleasing but very processed overall.
With the Sony 1 mark 6 out now, several of the Sony issues shown here have been resolved... will you update this video? Or make a new one? Cheers!
The "issues" I had with the V (and subsequently with the VI in a following video I made) are to do with the sensor specs, not something that can be fixed, telephoto shots even on the VI are bad compared to other brands using much better and newer sensors.
The Sony 1 mark 6 👎👎👎👎
After watching about 1 trillion camera comparisons I must say you absolutely smashed it bro... the shots are stunning and I think the decision I'll have to make has gotten a lot easier. Greets from Germany!
Hey, thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words ☺️ and yes I do believe that the best way to test a phone is to take it into the real world and see how it performs 👍
Very interesting video. I love how you take pictures and make them look magical. One thing I'm curious about is, when you took pictures of the waterfall using pro mode, you needed an ND filter. What about long exposure mode that comes with the phone itself? I think it doesn't require an ND filter. But what are the differences between those pictures? Eager to know.
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 I always try to stay away from "trickeries". Yes the phone has various modes to mimic certain types of photos, just like the iPhone also has. But you can only do so in jpg since it will spit out a very processed shot. To give you a comparison it's like making a home made lasagne and buying a microwavable ready meal lasagne.... It technically has the same name but it won't look or taste the same at all... 🤣 There's no cutting corners for photography, if you want the real deal and awesome results you gotta stick by the rules 😉
@UpsideLens thank you for the reply. Yeah I always thought, what's the difference. When i tried to capure light trails or silky water, somehow the 'trickeries' makes it so good. Probably I need to brush up my settings and editing skills.
This looks like so much fun, will have to look around for local event like this
It was indeed really good ! Highly recommend attending if you can ! I've been thinking about organising one myself in the future :)
At 11:53 what smartwatch r u using bro, what brand is it?🤔 Shout out from Malaysia😅✌🏼
Fitbit charge 6 my friend 👍
All the shots really look like 4k wallpapers captured by a professional DSLR camers....
Thank you 👍 really appreciate 😊
You don't know how rare it is for me nowadays to subscibe to a channel. The way I see it is that if I watch something and give it a like, YT will recommend it more. And over time if I don't watch that content, or from certain channels, they will just fade away. Kind of a natural filter for me. However today, I will subscribe to you after watching this video. I love videos that go through the thought process. I think yes, you do need a little knowledge of the technical side of things. Like ISO, shutter speed, etc. The basic tools you used. But the thought process and why is more important. To me especially. I have the bits of technical knowledge, but HOW do I put all that together? I appreciate too that you barely mention your phone model. It's easy to get caught up in following what others are using. I am inspired to go out and implement some of what I learned here even on my Nothing Phone (2a). I just got the phone, took some simple pics, and the main camera is not too bad. Certainly fine enough, with some knowledge and creativity, to take some nice images. I mean technically it is nearly the same as the main camera on my aging once flagship Oppo find X3 pro. Thanks for sharing your insight. Cheers!
man, there is a lot of people in this world who wants to know how videos looks on. get out from the photographer zone please. nobody is interested in photos now a days. go for videos.
Ok I'm looking forward to watching your content about video, let's get in the video zone man 🍿👍
@@UpsideLens Thanks
