I wanted to see if the NS Macro Focus Mode is worth something so i decided to Give it my best shot and took some photos in a good daylight conditions to Maximize the results.
To tell you the truth i didn't expect much. after all, this is a SmartPhone not a Camera we are testing here.
We can always compare: technologies, Hardware, Lenses, sensor, ext...
But i believe that what really matters is the final result: The Photo.
And that's where i think the NS camera wins.
Take a look for yourselves, and feel free to confirm/disagree:
Please keep in mind i resized the pictures (made them smaller: 854X480)
so you can view them properly at the post.

Yeah.... I took a few macro test shots myself and I was suprised on how good they look.

I too was impressed with it myself . I cant wait to take my first pictures in the outdoors When the weather isnt cold and its bright i'll go the beach or to a park but all we have in the uk lately is fog and crappy weather.

Wow those are some amazing shots man. I'm blown away.

Fuze Camera Problems

Hey guys, been looking around to see if this is a problem but havent found any threads so I think its just my ignorance. I dont know much about the light settings on cameras but i have been taking these pictures with auto. How come some pictures have a reddish tint to them and others come out fine? Ill post a few examples here. I was thinking it might be the way the sun was hitting the camera at different angles but I tried playing with the settings a little and not much has changed.

Camera Problems
What rom, radio are you using?
stock rom and radio.. i believe it is the 02.25.32 radio
The auto white thing just sucks.. I use only the "bulb" for the indoor/night or the "sun" for daylight
What we have here is a PIPNIP.
(Problem in photographer, not in phone.)
What is missing from the two normal exposures? LOL!
Many of my pictures are of my fingers as well.
Is that Niagara? Man...your fat thumb looks to be enjoying the scenery...looks really nice..
yeah i figured it was just my photography skills.. but hell, its a phone, not a camera anyways. haha but thanks guys, im glad my camera isnt junk and ill just have to keep my digits outta the way. and yea that is niagra, i like about an hour and a half away. my buddy and i took the girls up for some dinner and gambling over the weekend.

Wow really nice pics bro :d:d:d really shows vivid details guess im gonna be using my touch pro cam more
nice...
i'm hoping to get a Raphael soon, but have a few questions:
{question pertaining to taking photos in situations like yours, enough light}
how long does it take from activating the camera to live preview? (My current Samsung BJ II takes about 3-4s)
any shutter lag(time from pressing the camera action button to picture acquired)?
do you have to hold really still during the shutter lag?

[Q] About nexus5 camera HDR mode lead to serious inaccurate white balance problem

Here are a few contrast figure to illustrate this problem
The first one is the reference diagram, filming equipment for panasonic LX2

LX2 shooting effect is the most close to the naked eye can see.
The next is nexus5 HDR + photo sample
Can be found that dark yellow picture, it is the sun is shining but of old photos made into a near dusk.Continuous shooting many times still has serious white balance is not accurate, not alone.
Here to do a contrast can see understand, above, open HDR +, below to close the HDR +, can be found is turned off, the white balance though drift, but obviously improved a lot.
To open after the HDR + white balance serious drift problem, only through the late PS remedy, below is adjusted during before and after contrast.
Conclusion: the new firmware update this problem before, recommend best when big scenes in the daytime close HDR +
What good method can solve this problem? How to Google response problem?Google engineers will see?

is it already on 5.1.1?
Im using camera360 app, its focusing fast and have many effects
I am using "Open Camera" because I wanted something with a faster focus than stock and I feel like it does that for me. However, you have a lot of features built in, for example you can lock the focus so it won't change after you manually focused it. For taking pictures of moving children though, the exposure time might be relevant too, which depends on the brightness wherever you are taking the pictures (bright = low shutter time, dark = high shutter time).
Note that stock camera had a new update ?today? which is supposed to improve "capture and shot-to-shot speeds", might solve your problem.
Google camera update is real nice and fast.
good day.

Lens flare problem. Should I return my phone?

Hello! I have the S6 for a couple of months now and it has never disappointed me - until it's time to take a picture in natural sunlight.
Everytime I take a photo on a sunny day using Auto Mode, portions of it turn up overexposed and the colours seem washed out, making it hard to distinguish a detailed subject. Even the sunrays get blown out into big streaks of light. Decreasing the brightness seems to have no effect. Otherwise, the camera performs amazingly good under even lighting or artificial light, cloudy days and low light conditions.
I will attach a few photos to illustrate the issue. They were all taken in Auto Mode with HDR Auto. But even when I switch to Pro Mode and tweak the settings to take another photo in the same place and under the same lighting conditions, the halo effect still stretches over a big part of the picture.

Could anyone tell me if the problem is on my end and I'm incapable of taking a good photo and what can I do to fix it or should I just return the S6 and replace it with another one? Did anyone else experience this issue? Thank you!
Ask a photographer, but my vote is, not a phone problem. Take pix with the sun behind you, not in front of you.
