adding info that make different between R372 n R373.
in camera mode!
R373 have control exposure that make object so bright.
R372 have control lightening to control adding some light or reduce in a room or outdoor.
exposure same fvnction with auto correct in color of picture that would u take on.it can increase ur size of picture.
R372 it just give additional light.such as in night we just have a little light so is that fvnction.not increase so much about size.
R373 more colourfull.
R372 morf detail.
it just my opinion after trying that firmware.
Just giving some corrections::
-i think you can change the control (to add exposure or brightness) to your camera UI, by editing seem. R372 also have access to control the exposure, but it do inside the camera>menu.
-brightness on phone camera is just adding the amount of the bright value on the picture (like when you did it with photoshop) that did by the software. But exposure is how much the diaphragm of the cameras opened, and how long its opened. longer and wider its opened, more lights the censors can record.
-if my opinion, R373 46R has too contrast image quality, but on 49R you'll get picture with natural quality of color but it less brightness on night picture.
...is that the photo quality from the old firmware (that is the stock E398 firmware) is actually more efficient and crisper than the modded E398@ROKR MP's available out there..I mean when we take photos from the old firmware, they only take up between 27-40KB of space while on the other hand the new photos on the new firmwares are HUGE! They take up at least 40-75KB's of free space. And the fact is the photos taken from the old firmware were in fact much sharper and crisper.
bigger the size of a picture its mean that the picture record much more color and brightness amount,if you want to compare 2 kind of cameras, you had to take picture in same conditions of light, cause, even different a second will give different amount of color and brightness. for me, bigger size, its mean the picture we've got is better, cause it record much more color n brightness value on it.
i've tried some kind of quantization table patches, and the result are makes my camera became pathetic when i take picture on normal condition,it doesn't even show a picture, but it gave better result on less brightness conditions.
