Camera 360 works much better then stock cam software.

So I took some pics with different settings in Camera 360 program. I forgot what the settings I selected were but its pretty much all of them.

This was all done on the phone. No computer side processing.
Oh P.S. these are all seprate pics of the same thing.

better because it has some extra filters?
take some long distance shots with the default camera app, then take the same shot with camera 360, and we'll see which picture looks sharper.

Will do in the morning

Yeah, I've taken pictures just as good of close-up flowers with the stock camera app. Those look great though! The camera is pretty excellent on the Captivate IMO.

Some of those filters look fantastic!!
/downloading camera360

for some reason i find that my camera is sub-par.. pictures always come out blurry even though i am very steady. i will try camera 360 and hopefully it will help

So what color is the flower supposed to be? Purple or Red. I'd say that only one of those photos looks good. I think the one where its red looks good, the leaves look a good solid green. The rest look kind of like "neon" lights or something.

I find that my Touch Pro w/ it's 3.2MP camera takes sharper photos than the captivate does indoors. I have a 30" monitor so I can actually verify if the camera is keeping up with the horizontal resolution of 2560. I would rate the effective pixel resolution only at like 2.5MP for the captivate. I would say the rest of the 2.5MP seem extrapolated w/ noise.
While YellowGTO's shots look good, we must remember that they are downsized. I tried out camera 360 as well. But imo that application only applies some digital filters to beef up the picture - I can do this w/ picasa. In the end TP's shots blow those of captivate to dust. Captivate lacks refinement.
Engadget did say that the camera quality is better on the vibrant than it is in the captivate. It would be nice if someone who also has access to the vibrant or the i9000 can compare the refinement abilities.

looks awesome!!!

Does this app let you use the camera on a low battery (unlike the stock)?

Those all look severly over saturated to my eye.

Which is one of the main advantages of this program. I also like Fxcamera, though the pictures quality looks far worse on the computer than when viewed on the phone.

Camera Quality on Moto G - is it really this bad?

So I bought a camera for my wife, and we're really unhappy with the camera - I read reviews indicating it was average but compared to loads of the sample shots seen online, appear to be way below what is acceptable

This was taken a few minutes ago - but clearly shows the quality issues...
Is it really as bad as this? Other people seem to be getting very reasonable results!
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully reply.

If you're the kind of person who knows enough to know what to look for to depict if a camera is bad or not than it's probably not what you're looking

Looks way too soft for an outdoor shot. Make sure there isn't any sweat or oil coating on the lens. I find mine can often get stuff from my hands, which impairs the quality. I always give the lens a quick wipe with my shirt before taking important photos.

I agree with Gone Tomorrow - the biggest problem I have seems to be the lens getting mucky. It's not the best camera in the world, but for the usual shots of kids growing up, tourist photos etc its perfectly usable.

Maybe the software post processing on stock camera is too high. Do you think it's possible to find a camera app with low post processing overall?

Someone can port the HTC one m8 camera app?

Well, motorola has acknowledged there's an issue.
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/e2f2722bfc?commentId=801623#801623
We’ve been exploring several options to improve the camera. Some items are already on the list – we will fix the intermittent split-flash problem that produces a picture split into light and dark halves. We are working on the intermittent red-tint issue. Other areas are more difficult because any change to improve one area will create other artifacts -- and someone will object to those.
That being said, we have a plan to improve, and much of it is based on the feedback gathered from this thread and others. Thank you. It won’t be fast because it requires changes beyond what we can do through updates to the Camera app itself. But we’re going to make changes that in addition to the items above, should improve sharpness and detail.
I cannot comment on the timing of updates, so I can only ask for patience as we work through this. And again, thanks for the feedback; the photos and observations posted and sent via email were instrumental in helping us get to this point.

Probably that timing will be for Android L's release on our phone.
EDIT: Meanwhile, make sure the lens is always clear, and take pictures using the continuous mode. That is, tap on the screen as if you were to take a picture, but hold it. Once you see 1,2,3,etc numbers, you can release. That's the number of pictures taken.
The thing is, taking pictures that way, they turn out sharper and a bit noisier.. but much better overall. Afterwards you can delete the extra ones and keep the best.

Wavy pattern on screen causing photos to become blurry.

So when I was taking some photos indoors a sort of wave pattern started occurring on the display of my U11. All photos taken while this weird distortion was being displayed became blurred almost to the point of not being recognizable. The only way to get this to go away was to restart the phone...anyone know what the heck that was? Some sort of issue with the OIS?

Could you post a photo?
Which ROM/version?

Stock phone and I will check to see if I can find one of the photos in the cloud. I deleted those from the phone itself after the restart.

Found the photo, I was snaping a photo to send to a friend cause he was wondering what is an "Andy Gator" when I told him what beer I was drinking. I also noticed a similar problem the other night when I was trying to snap a photo in low light conditions. Everything started to almost vibrate on the screen blurring everything out.

It looks like blur caused by camera shake due to long exposure. Is this problem present with good light conditions?

BUMP.
Same problem here, phone started a few days ago with displaying the same "wavy" pattern. First it was like 1 in 10 times when I open the camera app, now it's more like 9 out of 10 and almost impossible to use. No matter the conditions: dark, light, shiny, close-up, portret, landscape, ...
I just made a quick gif to illustrate:
And some photo's I just took where I had to restart the camera app or switch the aspect ratio (standard 16:9, switching to 4:3 or 1:1 and back, all aspect ratio's had the annoying thing) numerous times to get atleast a decent picture, so you can see the conditions:
This first shot took me nearly 5 minutes before the camera started without that pattern
This one took about 3 restarts and two aspect ratio switches:

Probably the OIS module is malfunctioning.

Question S22 Ultra Exynos camera issues, (potentially BIG processing issues aswell?)

I've had my phone for close to a month now my model is (SM-908B/DS) and I have been experiencing an issue that I'm hoping it's just software and it would be fixed next updates and not hardware which is when I'm in a dim light/low light place and I try to take a picture of anything this is pretty much the resulting image:
Indoors Normal Camera:

Indoors 108 MP Camera + Detail enhancer:
Can you guys tell me if this is typical S22 quality in daylight or am I not seeing something here:
Outdoors picture Main Camera:
Outdoors 108 MP daylight + Detail Enhancer:
Same here, white light situations have been improved with the july update but that 108mp shot just doesn't feel like a 108mp shot:
Main Camera white light
108 MP + Detail enhancer white light:
This has been happening since the June update (which is when I got the phone), and the july update made somethings better but overall the problem is still there, camera looks good in daylight/outside but whenever I go in my house where the light is dim or white all pictures look noisy and bad like this and the preview is choppy aswell, here's what I tried so far:
- Clearing cache partition
- Re-optimizing apps
- Factory reset from settings
- Hard factory reset using ODIN
- Updating to the July update and clearing cache which didn't fix my problem
This problem has been going for a while, I didn't seem to care at first because mostly ill want to take pictures outside but I found myself wanting to take pictures inside my home and it's just doesn't feel right anymore, if any of you guys can relate to something similar to my issue lmk down below, I just hope samsung fixes this with software updates :/

There's an article also talking about this issue with Exynos cameras but it was back in april..
Link:
Article
Another problem I found is the camera really acts strange in white light for some reason, this only happened once to me, but it just shows that the camera really needs improvement still on exynos, and most of the time I don't take pictures in white light in my room as they all look fuzzy or have a lot of noise just like the low light/dim light situations:

From the pictures you attached, I can only see, some have 0,8 MP others 108 MP. No Exif data, so the exposure time is not clear and what is the "normal camera" (first picture)?
The subject (dog) usually cannot be captured without motion blur, especially in low light conditions.
For a systematic comparison identical conditions are needed.
Finally, do not expect too much from 108000000 pixels put on a sensor so small. Heavy image processing will not make it better sometimes. But Pixel binning works not bad, just use the far more flexible 12 MP mode. Especially in low light conditions the results are comparatively good.

I got the S22 Ultra from EE on Saturday and the image processing is absolutely dreadful, even on 108MP mode it aint great... I returned my Pixel 6 Pro as I was having constant issues with the software and and I'm honestly about to just go back to it. I hope this along with other issues with the Exynos chip can be fixed with software updates.

Question Terrible front camera performance (Colour balance + Saturation)

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this, I quite often make pictures with my front cam and the camera is such a downgrade from my 4 year old Xiaomi Mix 3! The colour balance is all off, almost like they forgot to make a profile for the front cam.
The back camera is just fine, but the front camera often looks like a $20 toy camera just because of this terrible colour balance. I can fix most of my selfies in Google Photos by using a combination of adding warmth (Colour Balance) and adding saturation which makes them look just fine.
For a phone this expensive... this shouldn't be needed. I'd say most mid-level phones even make better selfies then this.
I've tried cleaning the lens but this makes no difference, the Samsung camera app just fails to properly process the colours in the front camera's images.
Because I apparently don't value my privacy, here is a picture as taken by the Samsung camera, and the same picture after adding warmth and saturation.
The original image makes me look lifeless with the skin being very pale, like a zombie almost. It was a nice and sunny day, why do I look like I'm 10 seconds away from my death?

Anyone else with this issue? Does a modded version of the Samsung camera exist with the possibility to manually define post-processing settings? I just need to have it add more saturation and offset the colour balance

I'm searching for a solution myself, google's Gcam camera is great but I can't find a way to make it use the front camera. I'll be back if I find a way..

I've searched high and wide for a way to make another camera app the default one to get a better front camera selfie (even by disabling Samsung camera) but it seems like the cover screen and Samsung camera are intertwined and cannot be separated.
What we really need is a developer to have a look at the system framework or whatnot and see if something can be done to change the default camera, but they (developers) are a rare breed nowadays.
But on the bright side, if they ever do a remake of the movie weekend at Bernie's I'm pretty sure they'd offer you a part with photos like that..!
