Camera Issues on 15.3.A.0.26 with comparison between 15.0.A.1.36

1. Flash shots tends to underexpose on low light inddors

2. There's no effect on changing exposure values when using normal mode on flash shots

3. File size are reduced and images are somewhat have too high compression

4. Choosing ISO 100 and 200 settings aside from auto ISO causes the viewfinder to lag on low light
5. Camera is always ISO 2400 no matter what when using auto scene and flash is fired but pictures are dark

6. Images from the old firmware 15.0.A.1.36 is still more detailed and sharper

In my opinion images are also unfocused

1.36 has better quality than 2.17 but 2.17 has better quality than the latest firmware. Images lost its details... I'm so disappointed. I was excited about the update and the camera has gotten worst on flash shots. I ahvent had many daylights shots but the flash shots are not good. In 2.17 I can still get good exposure by just using exposure value but right now adjustments on exposure value has no effect anymore Slightly_frowning_Face

I tried to make a daylight comparison between the two with macro and non macro daylight shot

I have another comparison between non macro daylight shot. (I wasn't able to upload because one of the image exceeded 3MB and it is not allowed here

Here is low light HDR and the difference is their ISO. and I think 0.26 has an edge

15.0.A.1.36(ISO 400 is used automatically)

15.3.A.0.26(ISO 800 automatically chosen by the camera)

 Hello !
I had the same problem
I restarted the phone and ok, fixed!
With the new update. the camera does not keep fixed ISO chosen in presets
Another thing is that when the camera open in lockscreem, not load settings chosen...
