Hi,
My Moto G Camera is not ok.
I take photos in Red with the flash on, with the flash off the photos is ok.
I think it is a delay between the shutter and flash.
They think might be causing this problem?
Thanks

Are you using a red protectioncover on the back. If this is the case than the flash causes a reflection of the colored backside.

Is very bad..
Not sure what could cause this.
I am not really using my camera that much but I haven't noticed this kind of issue.
Someone may try to take pictures with flash?
I think it is almost normal if the photo was taken in complete darkness

Edit the pic in gallery and select auto color...removes most of the redness for me

M also facing the same issue from start of using this phone . i am in search of proper solution for this problem . Never noticed this red colour problem in any other phones with flash and having 5 mp camera.
Plz help
Yes, this problem is not affect all Moto G
Has anyone solved the problem of camera?
Tried using a different camera app and still have this issue. The picture is okay while it is in the view finder but as soon as I click the photo, it puts this red tint over the picture.
I've tried different applications, and the result is the same.
jaspreet997: I edited the photo and working, the redness disappeared.
But why take pictures appear with red shades?
It is possible to solve this?
I'm going to the Motorola care centre today to show them the issue. I'll report what happens.
It's all due to crappy software of camera.
The red tint comes only when you have flash on and you are clicking photos from distance less than 25cm. Try from a more distance or control focus and exposure and drag focus to a darker area, you'll get a clear photo.:good:
Is not possible to DEV create a mod or fix to improve camera?
@forgotter: My other Moto G does not have this problem. I ordered 2. One was for my friend. I noticed this problem after comparing the two.
Not everyone with the same problems, motorola should do something to solve the problem of camera.
@boaxfux : It's due to software indeed and the software is the automatic light adjustment. Well, I have no idea why your friend's phone doesn't have this. He must be a lucky guy.
The only way to get rid of this is to control focus&exposure by yourself. I'm on CM11 right now don't have the issue. But when I click pics from a close distance and, the phone focuses on a red object then the clicked pic have a reddish tint. I guess that's because from a close distance when flash lights, the object you're focusing on gets a light colour and so the auto adjustment turns the pic to that color to maintain the original colour.
That is all that I know.
More examples:
Turn the auto-flash OFF and try to take pics at day, not at night and in low light conditions, also try Focal, its a camera app on the play store and if im not mistaken i think its made by cyanogenmod, dunno
I try Focal, and is the same issue

Seen some samples online. Anyone on here have any opinions on night shots with this phone since flash is absent? Does the "night mode" seem to help make the pictures barable...or perphaps does that do better justice than an LED flash would?
I tried "night mode" in my den yesterday with the tv on and just sunlight coming through the shades, it was worthless. The only thing that showed up on the picture was the tv screen while the rest of the picture was black.
Whats your opinon on the camera over-all. I just wish it had flash!

Yes, I wish it had a flash too. Overall I think the camera takes solid pictures, just has to be enough light. Its still just a cellphone camera, though, so dont get rid of your regular digital camera. But in a pinch it takes usable pics. It's better than the 2MP cam on my old iphone.
From pics that I've seen I think the iphone4 camera is the best out there, it has the largest opening that allows the most light in to the sensor. The Droid X also has a great cam, but I think the Galaxy S phones are just behind that one. So its a top 3 cell cam. This, of course, is just my honest opinion.
thanks
I have the samsung mythic now (touch screen feature phone) that has flash and it sometimes helps sometimes doesn't. Of course it's an LED flash so sometimes it makes the object just a big blob of light.

I think phones with LED Flashes / Xenon flashes are overrated. More often then not they lend to washing out the picture completely with a white shade over everything. Only thing I ever used my fuze flash for is a flashlight.
i think if you had a iphone before(not saying you did) those people might be able to live but people who didnt maybe not so much

What menu do you use to find night mode? I've browsed through all the menus on the camera, and none were titled 'night mode'

The TV might have been too bright, throwing off the light ratios. I would imagine that "night mode" just auto-magically adjusts the exposure based on an average of the light recorded. Try a picture in the same settings without the TV screen in the picture and see if it improves...
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the pics!! Night mode does seem to do pretty good!
All this time I was under the impression that it does work, I mean when you touch the screen it moves the brackets, turns them green and appears to refocus.
I did a very simple test and it seems it's not doing anything. I placed two objects, one in front of the other at different distances from the camera. The result is wherever you touch the screen, trying to focus on the object in the background, it always focuses on the foreground object.
Is this something you can confirm? Is it something rom related or is it a hardware issue?

Yes, it works. IIRC, you need a ROM that supports it to enable touch to focus.
Here's a pic I took now:
Pretty much just helps what it should focus on than focusing on the item that's in the middle. Since you have such limited control of the camera lens, you obviously won't get much control on the depth of field like what you would see with SLR's
That's great and all but in both of those shots the foreground is in focus, which is what I always get. But say I wanted to focus on the little red car in the background (2nd picture) it could never focus.
Can you take the same picture where that red car is in focus and the bottle (?) is out of focus?

It works when I am focusing on the background and not foreground like what you were asking for. However I dont have time now to search for a picture as an example.

I agree with the OP, I have placed an object about 5cm from the camera and have the background at about half a meter away. Without moving the camera, I cannot refocus on the foreground object and background object.
The above examples seem to prove otherwise but it would be more evident if each shot was taken at the EXACT angle and showing different focus.
For now, touch to focus seems to act has normal focus ...

Yeah... for me it only ever focuses on the object in front...

Can any other members confirm if Touch to Focus is working?
I've currently tested on my ROM (CM9 v3.4).
Yeah for some odd reason, my camera will not even focus..
When I fist open my camera application to take a picture, I notice that object is in focus. Within a second, you can here the camera focus and the shot is completely out of focus. Touching the screen to re-focus does nothing. The only thing in focus are object 1-2 inches from the camera lens. If you hold it up to take a picture of the room for example it always stays way out of focus.
I've tried different camera applications, a factory reset, and every mode and setting I could find. Last night I got Jelly Bean and it still sets the focal length at the minimum focus. Have any of you had this issue?
I am preparing to send it back to Amazon Wireless for a warranty replacement, but they won't send me a new phone until they receive this one. I really don't want to be without it while things are getting shipped around.
Thanks for your help and any idea.

I have the same issue... I think its just crap low light performance, swapping it out will not help.

It does the same thing outside too. I can open the camera app while pointing it at my car. After about 1 second the camera focuses to the shortest focal length and the image is out of focus. Touching the screen pops up the auto-focus box, and after a second it turns green, but the image never changes focus.

Do you get the same issue with the screen-side camera as well? Might help narrow down software vs hardware issue.
Also, with regard to the low light theory, have you taken the phones suggestion, if that is the case, to switch to HDR mode and see if it likes that any better?
To follow up...
I returned my phone to Amazon. They replaced it within a few days. Now I've got a phone that will actually focus!
Now if they could fix the quality of low light pictures...

Hi Everyone
I noticed that there's some kind of artifacts in pictures taken by my galaxy s6 ... What's the name of this artifact ... ? Does your s6 camera have this Artifact ? My S6 Sensor is sony imx240 ...
Here are samples :

Take a photo of something else.
My old S6 Edge had a defective sensor where a blue artefact would show up. Samsung replaced the camera module without a question under warranty.

If you aren't willing to take a photo of something else, I'm not willing to help you. Considering the fact that taking a photo of the LED on a keyboard isn't really the greatest way to test a camera and it's pretty stupid. If anything, in that photo, that's just the camera's incapability to adjust the exposure properly, which could be reduced by enabling HDR. Which is why we have HDR in the first place.

Ok thank you so much and bye
@MikeChannon, considering closing this thread down. OP seems to have been mistaken about an issue that doesn't exist.
It is just a case of dirty camera lens glass. Just wipe it with a cotton rug and you will be good to go.

The lens is clean, I think it's due to f1.9 aperture
Hey xda forums, not sure exactly where else I could post this as this seems like a weird software bug.
The problem is the cameras; they are not working as they should. The main lens apparently does not exist, and the cameras are glitched to the point where only the telephoto lens appears on one side (with it having the ultrawide icon and apparent 0.6x magnification when in reality it is using the telephoto lens zoomed in as normal)

By pressing the "flip cameras" button, the flipping mechanism does not work. However, the view is flipped 180° and suddenly the ultrawide lens appears! (Disguised as telephoto lens on the app and apparent 3x zoom when it actually is just the ultrawide lens working normally). I would need to manually adjust the flip camera tool to have the camera flip out to me. Also, when taking a picture the app just crashes, and no picture is taken.
The problem also exists in other applications. Snapchat only uses the wide angle lens. However, pressing the flip cameras button does trigger the flip mechanism; a problem here is that the cameras are 180° (upside down).
When using the flashlight feature from the notifications bar, the flashlight turns on and immediately the camera flips, blinding me with the flashlight facing me lol
Anybody have any suggestions on what to do?
Things i noticed before this happened was an error message "The cameras are being used by another application. Please try later". When this message started appearing, all 3 cameras were viewable in the camera app, but when flipping the camera, the app would crash if i tried to flip with the main lens. This lasted for about a week, then the camera app degraded to what I have just described
Things I have tried are:
- Use an alternative camera, such as GCam (won't open, immediately crashes)
- Safe mode
- Factory reset
- Install TWRP and Magisk, advanced wipe and download the ROM off asus website (The ROM which my phone came with as the cameras were working normally for about a month before this happened)
- Install another version of AsusCamera (internet or make backups of system/priv-apps/AsusCamera onto an SD Card and then install)
None of these seem to work. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
