HDR - is this normal?

[e-kzn]

Tell me. Why HDR has no effect? Everything that came from him - a digital noise. (Open the original to see)

Without HDR:

 With HDR

 P.S Sorry for my English, please.

Yes! General answers on "Learn to skillfully take pictures." 

How am I going to do them, if half of the frame in the noise? Here's an example today HDR shot with a tripod! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2bYnoFdQgTmN2ZodmVyckY3WkU/view?usp=sharing

I don't seem the problem, there are myriad ways to improve pictures, check some of my pictures, all taken with Xperias

On the Z1, what do you think of the no light pictures, lunar eclipse and stars? 

[e-kzn]

Of course, the smart phone gives excellent photos!))  Looked at your pictures - look impressive

Night photos, the lights of the night city are excellent!

I created this topic to another. Technical support Sony says that on technical matters better to write on talk.sonymobile.com. BECAUSE there are representatives of the developers of firmware.

In the subject I complain directly to the post-processing of HDR mode. And draws attention to the fact that smartphones Xperia M2 is no such problem! There HDR really cool!

And I hope that the representatives of Sony still improve the quality of HDR for Z1.

P.S http://www.panoramio.com/photo/117836305 (Click on the photo to see the original) simple night photo, 20,7 Mpix, ISO 125. 

It is necessary to turn off HDR - as the pictures are excellent

Thank You. But there I also wrote. Nothing has changed.

I'll test other scenarios with my Z1 and I'll reply back

Comparison of HDR M2 and Z1

[Uliwooly]

While on HDR which other settings have you selected?

1 Resolution?

2 Focus mode?

3 ISO?

4 Metering?

5 Flash?

6 White balance settings?

@e-kzn 

[e-kzn]

1 Resolution? - 8 Mpix. 16:9.

2 Focus mode? - "single focus" or "touch focus"

3 ISO? - Auto.

4 Metering? - Center

5 Flash? - Off

6 White balance settings? - Auto.

But, I've been experimenting with different settings. Nothing good in post-processing in HDR Z1 is not found.

Also tested under the same conditions in the Super Auto Mode - when he has selected HDR (Backlight). Also, in M2 quality was better.

P.S See exif photo for details.

I photographed in a super auto mode. Explain to me what with grass? Why is there a lot of noise? Why is it so bad detailed? Mode automatically select "Backlight".
