Latest July firmware patch Stability testing (MAJOR UPDATE) 1080p tests added !

Gilgameshuk — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 19:21:51 GMT

Right I think that stability has not improved one iota, though gratefully and admittedly there have been a host of other fixes,

Anyway dont let me influence you, i have undertaken some tests for you to judge yourselves.

NORMAL APP 4K NO HDR BUT H265 Stability ON

(STABILITY LOOKS BETTER) you decide though.

CINEMA PRO HDR ON H.265 Stability ON 4K NO LUT and 24 FPS

CINEMA PRO HDR ON H.265 Stability ON 4K NO LUT and 30 FPS

(still being processed by youtube, so waiting for video quality to improve)

What do you all think, you decide?

Based on the update log, they did not improve this at all.Only Camera improvent it's image processing now from 7 seconds change to 4 seconds

I agree, image processing for me is around 1 second

OK. I have found out the stability issues affect even 1080p, but only when HDR is on!

WHen HDR is off, all is OK.

Re: Latest July firmware patch Stability testing (MAJOR UPDATE) 1080 P TESTS

Now judging by my tests we have a new spanner in the works.

Not only do we have a problem with stability in 4k but there is an issue in 1080p.also.

If I enable HDR in 1080p then the video is LESS stable than 1080p with HDR OFF.

So to sum up work needs to be undertaken on 1080p HDR stabilisation.

All is fine on regular 1080p

I dont know why Xperia 1 User is having such a terrible time with processing photos, Mine is about 1 second

tomo100brt — Sat, 20 Jul 2019 17:33:38 GMT

My image procesing is so quick. It takes les than a second to save picture.

Re: Latest July firmware patch Stability testing

Gilgameshuk — Sat, 20 Jul 2019 20:10:44 GMT

Yup

Same here. One second to process.

I think in low light it can take longer. Maybe it also makes a difference if you are writing to an SD card vs internal, with the latter being faster.

Re: Latest July firmware patch Stability testing

Gilgameshuk — Sun, 21 Jul 2019 19:03:43 GMT

Not this case mate

I AM writing to the internal device, 1 second save for photos.

As for stability tests, it has been confirmed via (AT LAST) via a SCRIPTED email from Sony,

they acknowledge the 4k stability problem and are working on it.

My name is Frank, I’m a Complaint Manager at Xperia support by Sony.

I have tried contacting you today as per your request but I was unsuccessful in my efforts as there was no answer so I left a voicemail message.

We are sorry for the issues that you are having with your Xperia 1 device.

As you mentioned that the issues are related to stability, we recommend that you wait for the next software update to fix the issue and make sure that you have enough space available on your device so you can receive the update as soon as it's available for your phone.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you are static (stood still) and filming, then the Sony Xperia 1 is fantastic but just falls short of greatness.

I mean look at this, I filmed this , whilst on holiday in Dubai.

That is stunning!

It certainly deserves a 4/5 stars but no lower or higher, a truly decent phone let down by two things, small battery life and no 4k stability and none in HDR mode of 1080p. Normal 1080p is fantastic.
