Colours dull/muted in photos

[Kissie]

I got my A03 last summer and have never been particularly pleased with the photos, the colours never appear 'true'. It is really noticeable when comparing to others taken at the same time. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there an easy fix that I'm missing? TIA

Try changing vibrancy and get itas close as possible to a better image otherwise actual scene

@Kissie: Please can you try opening the Camera app, tapping the cog in the top left, and enabling 'Scene optimiser', as this automatically makes your photos look brighter and more vivid. Now, tap the back button, select the magic wand symbol in the top right, and explore the filter options here to see if you can find one that helps to improve the colour accuracy in your photos.

Hello thanks for your response and I'm so sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately I don't have a 'scene optimiser' option when I open the app. The magic wand filters do seem to help, it's a bright sunny day here so I'm going to take some photos to compare. Can you please advise about the scene optimiser? Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply. Wi you please let me know how I change vibrancy? Thanks

@Kissie: If you have Photo mode enabled, and 'Scene optimiser' is not visible in the Camera settings when you tap the cog symbol, then the feature is not available on your device. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused. If you could let me know how you get on with the filtered shots, as well as which filters you applied to get the results you wanted, then that would be great

Hello again, the photo on the left is taken with my phone. No filter. On the right taken with my husband's Samsung. No filter.
I will hopefully try later with filters.
