Hello all,
since a couple of days i own a HTC One X and i really like it.
What i noticed when using the camera, when i am outside i always get a purple veil, when changing the AWB it gets green.

Now i want to know, has anyone else experienced this? (i have seen lots of pictures with this purple veil even from professional testers)
Is this generally on the HOX or is it a failure in a couple of models?
I read "purple vein" and had to come in here to look.
I was expecting something else...
This is what happens when bright light shines onto the camera lens.
Worsened when the camera sensor is overloaded with light.
It happens on any camera but it's pretty bad on this camera.
Try to block bright light sources with your hand, or better yet, avoid shooting into the light.

Ok so it happens on all devices of the HOX?

When I start the camera I get this blue ring in the center of the picture, if I take a picture it will show in the picture as well. Anyone else having this issue?
Is it a sharp blue ring, generated by software, or some kind of artifact like a light leak? Do both cameras have it? Are you using the default camera application? Can you post one of the pictures?

I guess I am the only one with this problem. I updated the firmware yesterday but it's still there, as you can see just the blue or purple ring in the center.
Is that on the shots with the other camera too?
Is it on all the shots?
If not, is there some unusual lighting for that shot?
I ask the last because as a photo guy, that looks like the type of thing that you see with internal reflections with the IR filter over the CCD under some lighting conditions, e.g. an incandescent light just out of the frame at the right angle for that shot. Again, is it on all the shots? Again, is it on the shots with the other camera too? If it is on all the shots you might have a problem, it does look like an artifact.
What you're looking at is refraction caused by light hitting from an angle (like lens flare) and bouncing around on the inside and hitting back at the inside of the glass and the glass is now acting as a backdrop. Just a wild guess. Best thing to try is to block the lens to kill the light completely. Do you still see the blue ring? If so, then it's most likely the CCD sensor.

It's on all shots and only with the back facing camera. it moves when the camera is focusing.

If it is on all the shots, you have a problem unfortunately. I just tested with mine, and you can get a very fierce IR internal reflection with a light source just out of the frame, but it isn't on all the shots of course. (see below)
Bit of a long shot, but if it moves with focusing, it might be some kind of internal light leak from the backlight. Maybe they forgot to install a little baffle or something. Turn the backlight brightness all the way down and see if that reduces it.
My infuse 4g, camera photo showing the middle of a slight pink, do not know why, the friend know the solution
Yeah i film that saaweeet pink spot to..but i will never post it to youtube or whoever..lol.....i am good with this cam.one day it will be able to xray you and give us all cancer like our t.s.a.
Most phone cams have have this problem due to the very short optical path and the type of infrared filter used. Usually, they are calibrated for daylight. So, if you have a significant problem under daylight, I think your camera was not calibrated properly. With indoor lighting, it is to be expected.
Anyone have issue with the front camera w/flash producing terrible pictures? My pictures get a very bright blue tint, especially taking pictures of people.
It is driving me nuts. Any suggestion on tweaks or camera settings that seem to work best for you guys/gals?
Not here.. this thing takes amazing pics.. very clear.. I just have a few settings on ..like "no shake" and auto res...
This will happen when taking pictures indoor in which the surrounding lightening is incandescent (warm lighting). The flash emits a whiter/fluorescent flash which will make your picture look blue'ish behind the surrounding warm lighting. The pictures wont look as bad if the surrounding light is fluorescent.
Unfortunately, the way around this is not to use the flash. Try to get as much surrounding lightening as possible and use Auto ISO. Don't forget you can hold down the shutter button to pre-focus so when you release the shutter button, there is minimal shutter lag. Still difficult if your taking pictures of kids that can't stay still, but this is my approach to avoid the blueish white tint from the flash.

Mine did this. exchanged it and the new one does not do it
If you search posts by me you will find some of my blue pics i posted

I just tried out the camera on my new Moto Turbo. I've previously used it under normal outdoor and home lighting, without problem.
But I'm getting banding in low lighting condition.
Banding is easily visible on light background. Also the camera is taking too much noise/ white grains in the left corner of the screen in low light.
Is this issue common with this phone ?
Yes this noise issue is common in most motorola phones. 21mp is just specs. Reality is very different. The photos are good mostly when used flash

The noise issue is understandable... But the banding issue is driving me crazy. I can see light grey lines running on my screen in some lighting condition. Even this is common ?

This is rare. But it does happens on my phone too.
This is probably a silly question but went out this morning to take some shots and if I am honest I wasn't that impressed with the auto focus. My previous phone was an s7 edge so i have probably been spoiled bu the superfast focus speeds but considering this has phase/contract and laser autofocus i thought it would have been faster.
At times I did feel it struggles to find focus, this makes me question the laser auto focus. On my previous LG G4 and nexus 6p you could actually see the laser auto focus working, a small red light (one assumes the laser) emits from the black square near the camera module on both those phones but i don't see anything from the xz premium in dark or light conditions. Are you supposed to see the laser auto focus on the these units? Can anybody try there and see if they can see it.

Try shooting the back of the phone with a camera. Most of the cameras can detect infrared light while humans can't. You will see it as a purple dot.
It's better to use another phone for this because some stand-alone cameras use infrared filter.

Yeah you're right its was there firing away.
Still a fantastic camera even if i am being picky about the auto focus.
