So on my nexus 5 the OIS is really intermittent since lollipop. When you open the camera and zoom you should see the picture kinda float instead of shake. Seems like if I lunch photosphere and then go back to regular camera it will come back on. Weird. Happening to anyone else?

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I wanted to record some videos, I opened camera software, pressed to switch between front a rear camera, then I heard this clicking noise.
From now, this noise is always when I turn rear camera on, or switching from front to rear, also I can feel that something is moving inside when I touch rear camera cover, it's like the aperture would be opening and closing and making that noise.
It's noting serous, everything is working, camera is working fine, tablet is ok as well.
Does anyone has experienced this as well?
What do you reckon, should I bringing back to the store and get a new one?
Waiting for your thoughts on this.
thx
I also noticed it, but with me it sounds more like the shutter (for as far as it is present) opening, just like with a normal camera. Unless you here something rattling near the camera when you shake your TF, I wouldn't make a big problem out of it.
It's an annoying noise, but it's normal. You'll just have to live with it.
ELTinos , you are right , it sounds more like the shutter, I can also hear it when I put tablet back to live after sleep mode when camera software is running.
it's not that annoying but I am concern that this is something that came up just now, I tested camera before and didn't get that noise but if you guys are saying that's normal, then I am calm.
Any more thoughts on this?
Sounds normal to me. My HTC Hero had this from the beginning... Camera is still working after 1,5 years so I don't think you need to worry
Thanks flight777
Just more info, to be more clear on this:
-Clicking Noise doesn't come from speakers
-It's only when I switch back from front camera to rear camera, also when in the rear camera mode, switching between : taking picture <-> record videos
If you could test it as well on your TF
thx Guys , appreciate your responses
It is rear camera's autofocus (solenoid moving lense). It can be also heard while turning on from coplete off.

As been said before, it's just the shutter lens, stop making a big deal out of it.
Rear clicking noise too
yeah, mine just started clicking today...after 2 years with the nexus one.
i can see the lens pulsing when the clicking occurs.
hmmm....

You talking about the N1 or the TF?
Hi, i'm using Eagleblood 1.8 right now and i've been having this issue with my camera. The front facing camera screen is always tilted at a 180 degree angle (so your face is sideways) and the rear camera looks normal, but most of the pictures come out upside down when you go back to review them.
It's not a huge problem but just a bit bothersome. I was wondering if it was a screen calibration issue, but it seems like the g2x doesn't have any settings to recalibrate from what I read here. What do you all think?
If im not mistaken gingerbread comes with this preinstalled. It's still in beta. Flash this to restore the stock camera.
The camera won't focus on objects close up when trying to take macro shots.
Does this happen to anyone else?
If you are fully updated try tapping the screen to focus on something specific.
Be aware that the (tiny, generally low-quality) lenses used in phones are going to usually be bad at macro anyhow. Do you know what the minimum focus range on the Focus' camera is supposed to be?
Yes, the name "Focus" is a bit of a bad joke considering the camera quality...
The closest I can take a picture is about three inches, when using the camera in Macro auto focus mode. Any closer than that and it's always blurry.
I've noticed that the updated camera software applies some kind of post processing even if you have image adjustments set to default with nothing set to +/-. The resulting image looks different from what actually appears on screen at the time of the snap. Can live with this but the big problem I'm having now is with self portraits. I'm having this problem indoors with mediocre lighting, I have not had the opportunity to try this outdoors.
The front camera now appears to have some kind of face recognition (which can't be turned off, have not seen an option for this but it does exist for the rear camera). What happens is after snapping the picture, you'll visually see the screen apply some strange lighting effect - when I review the self portrait the face is lightened and the eyes are darkened to the point that I look like a zombie. Needless to say the image is completely messed up. If you manage to take a self portrait with the camera not locking on to your face with the "visible white box cue" the picture will be snapped as normal like it used to be before the Jelly Bean update. Anyone else having similar probs?
It looks like I'm solo on this particular issue. I happened to also have wifi problems after the OTA update; the connections would drop within minutes. Ended up doing a factory reset which resolved the wifi problems but the front camera is still buggy -- basically once the face recognition white box engages and starts tracking your face the picture will become screwed up. It's possible to get a normal picture by doing something to avoid having the box engage like doing a very close up shot. Either way I'm hoping I can get the front cam working like it used to before this update.
Front facing cam pics are not something I do often, so I just tried it. The effect I see is not quite as horrific as you describe. But the captured shot does seem to have a slight exposure issue. And like you said, the preview looks fine, but the captured shot gives a slight white pallor to my face.
The first couple pics were pretty ghastly, maybe more like the "zombie" effect you described. But I realized the lens was pretty dirty (again, I use the front facing cam very seldomly). I cleaned it off, and the results were much better (just slightly pale, as I mentioned in the above paragraph).
Cleaning the lens seems obvious. Although, maybe some change they made to how the JB camera handles exposure makes it extra sensitive to dirt/dust on the lens.

True, cleaning the lens did indeed help. Less of the zombie effect now! I guess the face bleaching helps to hide blemishes
I have OnePlus 7 for exactly one week, use the stock camera on auto with default settings and took under 20 pictures. Even though I take images in bright summer light and my daughters are in little to no move, I often end up with these poor artifacts.
I will try switching HDR off. Any other suggestion (except trying GCam)? Does anyone else experience something like that? (Am I using it wrong? I had no issues with Samsung Galaxy S7.)
Have similar issues. Portrait mode comes out with artifacts as well. Stock cam sucks despite what everyone else says. Not sure if the OP7pro's cam is as bad.
I think OP needs to put more effort into marketing the OP7 globally (not just the pro) and improving the cam. I am very disappointed.
Have just installed GCam to try. Hopefully it is better.
HDR is and never will be made for super low shutter speeds.
As I reckon these kids are moving quickly there is simply not enough time for the phone to quickly burst shoot and merge those 5 or so pictures for HDR
Just my guess. Try holding your phone still and shoot a static object and see if these problems persist
The attached pictures were taken with shutter speeds of 1/50 to 1/450 sec and on Oxygen OS 9.5.5. I'm now on 9.5.6 but I still experience issues with HDR so I keep it off.
The thing is that with Samsung (S7), only really low shutter speeds of around 1/10 s and low light caused issues - but then objects were blurred, which is what I expect. Not weird artifacts like the samples.
I basically never have enough time to play with settings so I only use auto.
