![]() ![]() Indeed, the images turned out true to real life with accurate colors, great contrast and wide dynamic range. Sony has worked on improving the Automatic White Balance and the colors are more accurate than their previous snappers. The XZ Premium photos have as sharp and detailed corners as their center, and that's an excellent improvement over the past Xperia phones, XZs included. The major change, though, comes in the corners - the softness we experienced with so many Xperia smartphones is now gone. The processing, including the colors, has not changed much since the Xperia XZ and XZs, but there is a bit more detail and less noise than the aforementioned. In good light the phone performs great in capturing the finest details - it is a match for the 23MP cameras used before. The Xperia XZ Premium images turned out better than the ones by the XZs. We expected the Xperia XZ Premium to snap identical 19MP samples with the Xperia XZs, but that was not the case. The highlight of the new features is, of course, the 960fps slow-mo video recording, but we'll discuss this in our video chapter. Predictive Capture lets you choose the best shot later Still, for an automatic feature that doesn't require any user intervention or photography experience, it works quite well. Finally, most often it presented us with only one or two extra photos instead of the promised three or four. You have no control over when it activates and it didn't kick in a few of the times we were capturing high-speed sports action. In our experience, the feature didn't work as reliably as expected. So, if you were late clicking the shutter button, you would be able to use one of those instead. When the camera detects fast paced movement, it records a few of the moments before you pressed the shutter. The new RAM buffer has allowed for another feature called Predictive Capture. ![]() There should be no need to go to Manual mode to lower the shutter speed for nice low-light images, the camera does this by itself when stabilized properly. Speaking of the automatic detection - the Auto mode detects when the phone is mounted on a tripod and allows for lower ISO/longer shutter speed to improve low light photography. It could go as high as 3200, but the Intelligent Auto can max it out at 12,800 if the occasion demands it. The ISO setting is still tucked away in an extra settings menu, though. There's a Manual mode too - it includes full range shutter speed selection (1/4000s - 1s), exposure compensation, white balance, and a manual focus slider. Intelligent Auto will probably be the main mode you use, and it defaults at 17MP 16:9 resolution, so you may want to opt for the 19MP maximum by switching to the native 4:3 aspect of the sensor. You change modes by swiping up and down (or left and right, if you're holding it in portrait). The Xperia XZ Premium uses Sony's latest camera UI. The aperture is one thing that hasn't changed for quite some time - it's still f/2.0, not the brightest out there, but it's really okay. ![]() Sony went with a slightly lower resolution for this IMX400 Exmor RS sensor (previous models were at 23MP), but have kept the same physical dimensions, so this has resulted into the pixels being 19% bigger. It also enables the headline feature - 960fps HD video! Most phones manage 240fps at best, but the Motion Eye allows you to stretch time four times longer even if the stretched moment is only a second in real life. That has a number of benefits.įor one, the sensor reads out the full resolution 19MP image 5x faster, which prevents the nasty rolling shutter in photos of fast moving objects. ![]() This serves as and ultra large and ultra fast buffer where the camera can temporary offload photos or video without the need for waiting to store everything in the permanent storage. Instead of the usual 2-layer design, the new camera features a RAM chip sandwiched right in between the sensor and control circuitry layers. There is a lot of innovation going under the hood. Instead, it developed a new top-of-the-line 19MP IMX400 ExmorRS sensor also known as Motion Eye, which we already saw on the Xperia XZs. Sony has revamped the 23MP camera they've been using for a while, and demoted the once flagship-grade sensor for its XA mid-range series. 19MP Motion Eye camera backed by the most powerful CPU ![]()
