New Update V.3.02_20170317

Just to clarify something.
Changelog:

• Updated Camera effects - **** Photo and voice capture added
• Optimized Camera UI
• Improved WIFI stability
• Improved GPS performance
  

As you can notice, the list of improvements is very precisely defined.
So there is no mentioning about the camera improvements which would lead to a higher quality pictures.I am a bit surprised with expressions given by forum members like "camera improved", "improved camera quality", "camera optimization", "camera is seemed to be really improved", "pic quality seems to be improved" etc.
We have received:  1. updated camera effects and 2. optimized camera user interface.
No more, no less.
And yes, choosing the desired photo mode now is (more) precise. There is no need to tap the desired option more than once for the time beeing.
Some suggestions related to the possible camera app improvements have not been accepted so far.

After the new update, my notification bar seems to behave as expected. It's not popping out every once in a while.
However, I have noticed that when you open some applications the screen flips upside down if you set the orientation to auto mode (for example, the camera application).

Changelog:

the changelog in the updater was like that:
- Camera optimization
- UI of camera APP optimization
- WLAN optimization
- GPS optimization

--> so everybody incl. me thinks about image quality.
I also noticed better images afterwards, maybe Placebo effect, maybe not.

I feel a lot better about the camera now, but as with any digital camera of mine, when i want to be rally sure i got the image i will snap 5- 10 pictures just to be sure, after all you can always delete the surplus, and this Z phone is no crammed full "fruit phone" with no memory expansion.

I have put a 128 Gb U3 Sd card in mine ( 2016 Toshiba exceria 40 MB/s write / 80 MB/s read, cheapest 128GB U3 card out there that have been working good in some of the cameras i am testing )

I will be pressing that shutter button a lot in the time to come, just to see what the Z spit out in the other end.

I am going to spend some time on weekend to see if there is a real camera improvement or not.
Few other phones would be included as well.
