Hello

Is there a way to make the selfie camera good in sunlight condition when using snapchat?

The camera app takes great selfies in sunlight but when using snapchat, the Picture gets to dark.. cant see anything.

Hi James,

Welcome to the Sony Community.

Perhaps there is a setting in the app you could try or someone in the community may be able to offer a solution.

Best wishes,

Sean

The main problem is Snapchat itself.

The cameras on phones process photos by taking the shot, then in the few milliseconds after, process the info and sort dynamic range and any other adjustments.

Snapchat pretty much bypasses all that in order to add its own layers and filters on the fly so it doesn't do any post processing except some compression.

Yeah, Snapchat, Instagram, and Whatsapp's "algorithms" are rubbish, for camera use.

And they haven't really improved in years.
