[Q] Pictures blurry, photo taken

Hey everyone,
Just recently, I've been having a problem with blurry pictures because the photo taker assumes that the photo is taken and saved before it is taken.
Previously on roms, once you press the blue button on the camera app, you see the autofocus do its work, and then it stops (which means the photo has been taken).
However, on the ROM I am currently on, it does the autofocus and the still, but takes like 3 seconds after that before the photo is actually taken O.O I'm not sure why, but this is causing a lot of blurry pictures because autofocus doesnt account for the 3 seconds between the focus and the actually photo taken.
Any ideas?

I do not have your phone/brand/rom so I have no experience in your device whatsoever.
However, I think that you are spot on about the autofocus potentially being a cause.
Are you able to disable it or use another camera application that has tap to focus or similar?

Sorry for the late reply.
Using another camera app causes some glitches (parts of the picture cuts off, streaks of white on the sides, etc.). Tap to focus will not help the problem because there is still a gap between when the pic is taken and when it is focused.
Thanks.

Camera is too slow

Do you find the shutter speed for this phone is way too slow? The delay from shutter pressed till the photo saved is like ~2-3sec if the camera is activated for the first time. Although subsequent photos are faster. Anyone facing the same issue??

no ! did you use an MicroSD Card ?
-if Yes ! give me the references of this mSD

well my 820 is only a month old and is running Amber- only the autofocus takes a bit time 1-2 seconds, but not more than that. try using some lenses. Blink from MS is really fast.

Cyanogen Camera issues

Not sure if its just me or if anyone else is experiencing this issue
As you can watch this video, it takes forever for the camera to take pic and then processing it..
If I close the camera app before it thumbnail goes to the top right corner, it seems to just delete itself..

BTW, Im on CM11s rom, running franco kernel, in case anyone wants to know...
Thanks for any help..

You're using HDR mode that complies multiple exposure settings to get you the best pic. It's always slower than non HDR mode.

That looks horrible.
HDR mode on my nexus 4 works a lot faster.

First pic was in auto mode.. you can see after I focused on the car, I hit the shutter button... 3 secs later, sound and then another 7 secs later the pic gets taken.. I then swiped to the different scene modes
but regardless which scene mode, does the same thing... really annoying.. tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times but same thing...

not sure if theres a similar topic, but Ive noticed an issue with saving photos after they are taken, it takes couple minutes or more for them to show in gallery.
if I take a photo, and go out of the camera app and enter gallery, the most recent photos wont show.
But if I go back to camera app and swipe right, it will show them there.. wth?!

Try downloading the latest version from play.

[Q] Camera app unresponsive

Hi All,
I have the z3 for 2 weeks now and I noticed when I take pictures quickly after each other the camera interface freezes for 4-5 seconds and the whole display is unresponsive, and I can't shoot pictures until it becomes responsive again. It's very frustrating. Is it a known issue, or I have a faulty handset?
Also, it heats very fast even if I only take pictures, not videos.
Thanks

You're not writing your photos to a slow sd card, are you?
Never had that problem, although I use open camera because it got boring quickly selecting manual mode each time, and because open camera has a better, more easily configurable interface, and is being actively developed by someone who cares, and it's open source.
Give it a go.

Burst Shot?

Hi
when I am taking photos it seems that I am using the burst shot mode because I get a screen message saying that "burst shots cannot be saved to SD card".
This has been the case since I got the phone. As far as I am aware I have not changed any settings.
Q: how do I cancel the burst shot mode.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure burst shot mode cannot be turned off - it is activated by keeping your finger pressed on the take picture button for more than 2 seconds. If you want just one picture taken, a brief press and release is all that's needed

Anyone know how to get the bursts to save to the SD?

I'd be interested to hear if there is such a way, but would not be surprised to find out there is no way w/o hacking the camera app or using a different camera app.
data-write rate what it is, I can see that Samsung may not have wanted to trust that the user is applying an SD card that is fast enough to accept the data transfer of fast full frame still images (which requires a much higher data rate than video recording at the same frame size).
