Presets and optimization are two different things bro….
Presets are the set parameters which u can use to click pictures….. similar to filters.
Camera, exposure and saturation optimization is the proper processing and optimization of image so that it can appear better after processing finished.
Latest update has lowered the sharpness of photos and colours are also a bit funny.
OK, your remarks got me thinking…
Are you also facing the same weird center reddish tint, like mine, thus It’s software issue and will be fixed
OR
My device has definitely defective cameras and has to be sent back..
o0SGR0o no such thing in my device. It certainly looks like a hardware problem to me.
I was afraid so 
I searched the WHOLE thread and found similar issue rider9324
maybe there is a faulty camera module(s) batch amongst Nothing Phone (2) and many users haven’t noticed…
I have tried also GCam and the issue persists thus my take is also this is hardware related 100%
To whom may want to test and check their camera.
The steps to reproduce is to try to take a pic of a subject in relative dim conditions and the item needs to be black as the problem to be clearly viewed/reproduced (If It exists).
Tip:
You know this has happened before (HTC One M7),
https://xdaforums.com/t/camera-problem-red-blue-purple-noise-in-low-light-photos.2317507/page-238
It was a major Issue back then, I also had this problem and got my device replaced.
That’s why I’m suspicious with the camera modules, I’ve been-there - done-that,
as far as I see the Industry didn’t get their lesson, and what happened before, happens yet again…
The Nothing Phone (2) has had below-average camera performance since launch, and despite multiple updates, there haven’t been any major improvements. It’s time for Nothing to prioritize camera upgrades. Hope the team addresses this soon!
Guys, I know that you’re working on something interesting, but I wish I could draw some attention. Help us by fixing the camera quality for phone 2. It is really inconsistent and it was not like the quality before. Please consider improving the camera quality also.
YagnaramanKesava I’d recommend providing OS feedback via your phone’s Settings > System > Feedback option.
SiddheshShanbhag The issue with image out of focus is there from the launch of NP2.
