Hello everyone. I'm really considering buying this phone, however, I have a question about the camera. Since chances are that I will be using the phone to take pictures frequently, will I be able to take pictures without the annoying shutter sound? I've heard you can disable that, but can anyone with the Fuze confrim this?
Thanks!
yes u can turn the shutter off

hi guys sorry for this thread, i just want to ask something
in the past few days i had read android police and engadget review about nexus 5 and i notice that they having problem in camera they experiencing a shutter lag specially in low light and no light condition just a flash, is it possible to fix this by software update or is it hardware related?
i planned to buy this phone by december so is it possible to fix it by update?
this phone is powerful that's why i'm hoping that the camera can perform without shutter lag or with at least a milliseconds shutter lag, i don't care for the quality

Seems software related because there's a zip on the dev side that improves the shutter lag and improves other things as well.
Hi all,
I wasn't able to find any threads related to this in the S6 forums but I wanted to see if anyone else has this. When I open my camera app, sometimes the camera takes 1-2 seconds to initially focus and during that time it makes a loud buzzing sound. It sounds like a focus motor or something in the camera and the camera output on screen flutters while it focuses. Once it focuses, everything is normal and it doesn't make any more noise to refocus. This also doesn't happen every time I open the camera app, seems mostly random. Has anyone else experienced this? I am already on my 2nd S6 since the first was defective for different reasons and I'm starting to get very disappointed with Samsung quality control.
I have the dame problem.
I don't know if this is normal.
I don't think so
Waiting for some explanations

going to bumps this too because after having the phone for a month this problem has just started to show its face.
I've first noticed a small buzzing just after a boot for 3/4 times and than I had a long one opening the camera. After that it's gone...
I have it also! Started a couple of days ago. I have dropped my phone a couple of times. What about you?
Had this happen for the first time today also. Had hdr off, switched back on and it went away. Coincidence? Phone never dropped.

Relax...is the mechanism of optical stabilization.
Mine is doing that too...

I have the same problem. It is also sometimes accompanied by the picture wiggling in wave patterns.

Try to clean up your camera lens.
Did your device take some damage in the past?
Did you take it underwater? (The S6 isn't waterproof anymore...)

But it's not that loud.
Otherways, you can't record videos properly, because the microphone records those sounds.

Same problem here since last week.[emoji26]
I tried hard reset and another camera app (Google photo), nothing work.
I think it's a hardware problem, it occurs after shaking the phone and launching the camera.
I feel that the OIS makes more noise when app is off.

This started happening with my S6 today. I think it's the OIS that poops out. I can make this happen with a light tap with my finger on the backside of the phone with the camera open and using the rear camera. And this happens with all camera apps: Samsung's bundled camera, Snap Camera and Camera FV-5.
Update: ..and just as sudden this started happening, it went away again. I hope it's a bug - with a fix in 5.1.1.
Update 2: No, it didn't go away. It comes and goes. I may need to take the phone to the service centre.
Mine has gotten worse. Almost every time I open the camera now, I have the buzzing.
Just checking in to say that mine started doing this, too, about four weeks after getting it. It does it randomly when I open Snapchat, too.
I am having this problem too on the Sprint version sometimes it is pretty loud. I'm planning on taking to service center I think.
I also get the waves before it focuses. I read on another forum that someone said they went to a Samsung service center and Samsung replaced their OIS sensor so I'm guessing this may not be something that is simply part of the design.
*Update #1*
I just got off the phone with Samsung customer service. The representative actually heard the buzzing from my phone over the phone while I was talking to her. Since the phone is still under factory warranty they are emailing me a shipping label to send the phone back for repair.
I also have Asurion insurance through Sprint but do not want a refurb for a phone that is less than a month old with no damage caused by me.
Unfortunately the turn around time from Samsung is about a 5 business days and that was after they told me 9-11 days in which I said I couldn't be without a phone that long.
So, I plan on going to Sprint to see if they will swap out my phone for a brand new one. I think if it is a manufacturer defect they will replace the phone without going through insurance for a refurb but I am not positive. It they won't swap it out for a new one I will go through Samsung.

Yes it appears to be hardware related.

I tried and initially it doesn't seem to happen when the mega pixels are lowered but I haven't tested extensively.
I went to Sprint today and the technician concluded that he was ordering me another phone so definitely seems hardware related.

I now had the Galaxy S6 for several months and I found this phone totally awesome, but a few days earlier it started a rattling noise from the camera. Most of the time I open the camera app, it makes a strange sound (like it is trying to move the lens and the motor fails it to do so). When the camera is open and I try to refocus anything from very near to very far at once, it sometimes make that awful sound too. I am bothered, because I rooted my device some months ago, installed custom kernel and so on. Can I take this to the warranty or am I screwed? Should I bother about this sound? Will it get worse maybe?
Thanks for any help.

I own a galaxy S6E+ and I also experienced this same strange camera behaviour, but I haven't figured it out yet...

i had that issue, you can't do anything, you have to get it to the carrier to fix it, it's a hardware issue...i hope i don't get it again...because in 3 weeks my waranty ends
All this time i thought it was camera getting ready, opening lens and stuff like on digital cameras which make the same sound when started. Is this not the case?

I really don't know if there is a camera focusing problem or a hardware issue, but for to get rid of this, I decided from now to use the Pro manual focus mode rather than the Autofocus mode, and will let you know if this helps...

It's the OIS being slightly broken. Need to take to repair. I have same issue on s6 edge and need to get mine fixed.

I had exactly the same issue... It got progressively worse, to the point where sometimes I'd have to shake the phone to get the camera to focus when the camera was open. Initially they told me nothing seemed wrong with it... But second time round, I filmed it using the Mobizen app (often used to record gameplay - no root required). I found trying to get the phone to focus on text from a book exaggerated the problem.
I showed them the video at the Samsung Express Repair store and they couldn't really deny it (or attempt to). They swapped the camera out in a couple of hours whilst I waited with a newspaper and coffee. Oh, and they didn't even check KNOX (I asked out of curiosity... Mine wasn't tripped anyway)
*But some amount of rattling is normal. I tried it on two of my friends' S6 phones, and even mine now rattles... Not when opening the camera, but when you physically shake it next to your ear

When shaking it's normal, but when I let it alone and it make weird sound, then I'm bothered.

This seem to appear only to people who updated Android 5.0 to 5.1.1 or newer. I think Samsung made a firmware update to the camera, which focusses faster, but that lead to this problem.
same issue here. happens rarely and goes away when I shake the phone.
Good afternoon friends.
I comment that when I switch from the main camera to the front camera it takes approximately 3 seconds which in my opinion is very slow but the worst thing is that when I use face unlock it also takes a long time to recognize my face.
This is happening to someone else or it will be a failure on my device.

Hi!
That's strange, mine switch cameras in less than one second and face unlock is also fast.

hi there! I've sent an email to you regarding this matter. we are experiencing the same issue
try to see if you have selected 60p with video settings. in both pro and video mode. It gave me problems with the stability of the app camera. even if you have Gcam you have to deselect the 60p. try this

I have the exact same problems and I start to hate this phone!
Please refrain from duplicating threads. Issue discussed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-poco-x3-nfc/help/camera-bug-t4166003
Same lag in front camera and face recognition.
I have purchased it a week ago , but camera lag encountered since last two days. Is there any update or something to fix it ?
Same Problem here
Hi Bro,
Same problem for my Poco X3 also. Recently purchased via online. Not only for me but for my friend also experiencing same issue. Face unlock is sometimes very slow, but sometimes its lightning fast. Same case for front camera. No other issues found.
Does anyone elses camera stabilizer clicks audibly once every time a camera app is opened? It also happens when the phone Is booting, im just asking because I had assumed it was just a sony quirk but some guy on the forum said he got his device repaired because of it. Do you also get the clicks?
I have also recognized the "clicks" everytime i use an Camera app.... i dont know if its normal or not.

Yeah, I am getting clicks when I open Camera app or when I switch between lenses but I believe that a normal thing and nothing to worry about!?
I haven't notice that sound while phone is booting because you need to be really focusing on camera to notice the click.
Yeah im quite sure its just a sony quality. Its something to do with the OIS maybe calibration?
