I was taking some photos last night, and had quite a bit of difficulty trying to focus the image especially with the flash. Other people were taking photos to and the edge took very poor images when both flashes were active. I have upgraded from a galaxy S4 and noticed that it takes some time to process and focus the image is there can be many moving focal points.
Yeah its a hit or miss on the focus. At least in my phone. I could only get it to focus twice out of many tries. Those two focuses took pretty pictures thou. But that's unacceptable. The reason I'm asking is because it could be this phone. I hope we get more responses of people experience with the camera.

I have no problem with mines. It works great and i even focus on my jeans and could see all the stitching.
Try to clear the camera data.
drag the camera icon to app info. Then clear data and clear cache.
I had to do this on another phone long time ago.
Thank you xile6, I've already clear data and cache several times. Yes if I but my finger close to lens I can make up my finger print, looks nice but when I try to focus on a object about 5 feet away, it doesn't focus.

That is very weird. Mines is fine i can focus just fine on everything.
You do have it on auto mode? see if changing it to a different mode helps out.
I wish you the best and hope its not a hardware problem

My camera is fine too... Don't seemt o have any issues. Check your setting, maybe you have selective focus on?
Thank you all, I think it's a hardware problem. I've checked all the modes and it's the same thing. I've performed a factory reset and it's the same. Going to have to pay a visit to the store tomorrow.

Confirmed, defective phone. They replaced the phone with another new one and this one know focus and takes very nice pictures. The lady didn't even hesitate to swap it. Maybe they had another return with the same issue. Thank you all for the feedback.

Thats good you got it return. Glad they had more in stock for the return.
I sure hope its not alot of them that have this problem. I remember the HTC One M7 had purple tint in low light. It would happen months after having the phone.
I hink this is a samsung issue. My gear 2 got stuck in micro mode and had to be replaced too.
I can defently tell you that I bought a defective phone. They replaced it and the camera came from bad to super nice .

Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,
Chris.
Sounds like a Samsung problem. My wife is on her second Note Edge with a focus problem. It focuses when you shake the camera. AT&T had told me twice that it's a software problem. Apparently they think we are idiots.
They won't warranty the second phone even though it's only 7 days old because the we bought her first phone 31 days ago.... 1 day past the 30 day warranty. I hate the crooks at AT&T.
Mine has this problem intermittently. When i close out and go back in it seams to focus
Sent form my Samsung Galaxy® Note Edge
I think the selected SD card may cause the focus delaying. i selected device option and the focus instantly enabled. anyone can experiment the location selection whoever has microsd inserted?
I don't have an SD card in mine so it goes straight to the internal storage

I'm aware the stock camera app leaves a lot to be desired, but my Nexus 5 seems to be stuck at a specific focal length. I cannot focus on items if they aren't 15 feet away or so. The tap to focus gives me the focus animation and even turns green, but the object still isn't in focus. Checked all the settings already. Anyone else having this issue?

The lens could be misaligned.
u probably have a fault phone..happened to me when i had my htc one..sometimes it wants to focus or would not at all
Tried using a different camera app and doing a factory reset. No luck.
Didn't think I would have to RMA my Nexus as I didn't have any of the problems people are reporting (I must be the only one on the forum with the stuck lens).
Hope the next one is as good as it gets.

I know it's silly but have you tried cleaning the lens? maybe it got dirty, it's easy to place your fingers where the lens is...
Yup, lens is perfectly clear. I got my replacement ordered, but it says 2-3 weeks till it leaves the warehouse. i thought people were saying that they are shipping out warranty replacements right away...

I'll have to RMA mine as well, for the same reason. I haven't found any other problems so I'm a bit worried I'll get another with a defect.
Too bad it is that. I might have lived with some other build problem.

Hi everyone,
The title is pretty clear. And I want the old one back. I want to be able to take pictures during video. I want to be able to change white balance. I want to be able to change scene mode. The lens blur is absolute poo. It straight up sucks. I know the real time picture ratio isn't right on the old one, but it just looks better with the added space. Is there any way to get back my old, functional camera back? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Settings > Apps > Camera > Uninstall Updates.
How could you NOT know how to uninstall updates. Should give the new update a chance, I agree that the massive are at the bottom isn't ideal but once you've messed around with the settings etc I personally think its better. And I'm pretty sure you can take a PIC whilst recording by tapping on the screen, don't quote me on that though.

None of the massive area in the bottom is part of the photo anyway so how is it less than ideal? At least now we can see what the photo will look like before we take it. No more accidentally missing part of the shot cause the screen shows more picture than photo.
@ProVickers check out pro capture. This is my main camera.

Hey, M8 owners. I'm a note 3 owner looking at the M8. I came from the M7 but sold it mostly due to the camera performance and lack of expandable storage. The latter has been addressed and from I've read the camera has improved as well. However, I wanted to get the opinions of actual owners about the quality of photos taken with the M8. I'm especially interested in hearing opinions from those that frequently photograph their kids. So, please chime in with your experience.
TIA!

I came from the Note 3 and really the only thing that I miss is the camera. While the M8 camera has some cool gimmicks, the note 3 really took great photos. That said, the build quality and everything else about the phone I love - even with a smaller screen. I haven't looked back and the camera is sufficient enough for everyday use.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. It's a little discouraging, but I think I'll hit up a Verizon store with my daughter tomorrow and do some thorough testing of the camera. It sounds like some of the auto settings are less than ideal but that a few manual adjustments can really improve performance.

I own both devices and have to say that the Note 3 takes better pictures as far as I am concerned. What I will say is that I have a main line and a business line and the M8 is the phone I choose to be on the main line. Here is an example of pictures from both:

Cool, thanks. Looks good. I played with the M8 today. My daughter wasn't up to going to Verizon with me, but I think I got a good feel for the camera. Shutter speeds are fast and shot to shot tines were impressive. By no means am I a highly skilled photographer, I just want to be able to capture decent shots of my kids. I think I'll try to pick one up and give it a go. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Much appreciated. Do they look over exposed to you? Is it the best camera you've ever used?
I've ordered but am not excited, my nexus 6p is doing just fine
And finally, are we Europeans getting the EXYNOS?

I think this is Exynos but I cannot be certain. Any application I use to check the specs comes back as "Processor Unknown"
In regards to the pictures, all I can say is the first few were taken in extremely dark environments and whilst I was pleased with the results when viewing on screen, when enlarged they are not fantastic.
HOWEVER I don't think I have ever used a camera on a smartphone as good as this in low light. In normal lighting conditions, the 6S Plus (my daily driver) seems better but this is without extensive testing, the S7 really shines in low light situations.
It's as great camera and I doubt anybody will have any issues with its performance.
In regards to the S7 itself, there is the occasional lag on the operating system however all in all it builds on last year and it's much smoother.
I've owned every Galaxy S device, and by far this is the best generation but anybody coming from an S6 will struggle to be excited. It's certainly not as fluid as a 6P, which I have owned too.

I would think because that is how most people actually take pictures when it is dark... So it is a real world test, not some theoretical/lab nonsense.

Really for a low light test you really shouldn't be using the flash lol.
Maybe so, but pretty much everyone I know leaves the settings all on auto, which usually uses the flash when it's dark.

If you use the flash which we all know is a light source then how can you test how the camera performs in low light?

Just received my galaxy s7. Front facing camera is blurry like hell. Its much inferior than galaxy s6 and my oneplus one. Definitely something wrong with this. No smudges on lens too. Not a faulty device too as i have seen so many posts about this issue. How can we escalate this issue to samsung? And i youtube i can see lot of very good quality front facing videos.

As per my observation. A software fix will do the job. Focusing is fine for background objects (unintended areas)
And details are also very good. While i am trying to take a selfie there are no details much. Now i have tried taking along with my hand (i just put my hand in front of my face) in this case my face got focused with good details and my hand went into out of focus. This must be treating background as forground and vice-versa. This is just my observation.
