I'm using v5 of MotionCamPro on the Xiaomi 15T Pro. As you can see in the screenshot, it recognises the correct Full sensor size of 3072 x 4096 pixel. When the image (jpg and raw) is processed though, the phone identifies them as 1200 x 1600 pixel. When I try to edit the raw image in an app like snapseed, the app doesn't even recognise it as a raw photo.

If I open the raw on my desktop PC in Photoshop though, it can be opened as a RAW and it has the correct size of 3072 x 4096 pixel. So I asume there's a problem with the photo header and incorrect information?

I've been testing the camera on my new 15T Pro for a couple of weeks now. The automatic processing is really terrible on this phone. I took the exact same scenes twice, once in auto mode (with HDR) and once in Pro mode as RAW, which I then developed neutrally in Lightroom with zero creative adjustments.

The automatic JPEG lifts the shadows so aggressively that nothing is actually dark anymore. The greens look almost fluorescent. And the whole image gets squeezed into the midtones, no real highlights, no real blacks. I know this is an issue with a lot of modern smartphones, but it's sad that it can't be bypassed unless I use RAW.

It doesn't get better if you turn HDR off or use the Pro mode. Same lifting, same color boosting. So this is clearly baked into the ISP pipeline, not just an HDR toggle issue.

The RAW file shows the hardware is totally capable of producing a clean, natural image. The optics are great. It's purely a software processing problem.

Is there any way to get a neutral JPEG without shooting RAW every time? No Leica profile, no AI or HDR enhancement, just a true to nature rendering of the scene?

The Loremo LS from 2006 was a lightweight, aerodynamic, and incredibly efficient car from Germany. It was planned to be released in 2009 for a starting price of 11.000 €. It produced only 50 grams of CO2 per kilometer (for comparison, a Smart at the time did 88 grams).

I got the chance to sit in the concept car at the IAA 2007 and had already decided I would buy this car on day one.

Then the financial crisis came and the project didn't get enough funding. By July 2010 the company had just 50 euros left in its bank account. The prototype was handed over to a car workshop to pay off a debt. The factory that was supposed to build these cars never opened.

This car would have been absolutely perfect today. People are willing to pay good money for fuel efficiency right now. It still makes me sad that this project never made it into production.
