I've had the Blaze for a few months, and I am pretty unimpressed with the camera. It's hard to believe that it's not as clear as my former phones, which were the Mytouch 3G, Motorola Defy, and HTC Amaze.
I'm in the auto parts business and one of the most common uses of my camera is to take a picture of a vehicle registration to keep it for reference. With the Blaze camera, when I zoom in, the text is unreadable. With my older phones the text was always clear enough to read easily. I've tried the camera using the stock ROM and with CM10. I didn't notice a difference between the two.
Does anyone know if the limitations of this camera is the hardware or the software? If it's the software, can you recommend a better camera app or what camera settings have worked for you? Thanks
Me again.
The issue really seems to be that the camera will not focus, regardless of which focus mode I choose. I've tried many camera apps and, like I said, both the stock ICS and CM10.
I tried googling my problem and saw some posts of people having the same problem with the S2, but I didn't see any good answers.

I use Camera Zoom FX. Works great and has lots of options including storage location. It also has some options for auto focus. I have mine set to focus before picture is taken. My pictures come out quite nice.
I just tried Camera Zoom FX, but it still won't focus. Seems like it may be a hardware issue.

I have mine set to:

Focus : Auto
Not sure what else it could be. Sorry I can't be of more help......

I know this will sound stupid, but is the original protective plastic piece still covering the lens? Or is there any smudges on the lens? If that isn't it then you likely have a hardware issue. You will need to flash this first and then odin back to stock (see here or just download the latest firmware from sammobile.com and odin flash it) before sending it out to have any warranty work done on it.
The plastic is definitely off and the lens seems clear. Seems to be a hardware fault.
I sent an email to Samsung detailing my issues with the focus. They wrote back and explained how to use the settings for the flash. They're both F words, so I understand their confusion. Will call them when I have some time.
Thanks for the links on how to return to stock.

I've read mixed reviews regarding the Moto G's camera, some say it's pretty good, others describe it as dire and has trouble focusing.
What are your experiences and have you tried any other camera apps? Can different software overcome the problems? And even add features, such as white balance settings? I use Pro Capture sometimes on my N5, simply because the standard camera app has a 16:9 viewfinder when it shoots 4:3 pictures and that annoys me no end...
My friend has just ordered this phone based on my recommendation (there is no other phone in her price range that I would even consider, frankly), and I want to make sure her experience is a great one! This will be her first ever smartphone.
Also, does the phone have any other minor niggles which I can resolve in advance for her, by changing settings or using different apps? I'm already considering installing Opera as her main browser rather than ram-hog Chrome.
Edit: This phone will not be rooted, I'm not opening that can of worms for her just yet, unless I'm asked.
Moto Camera app itself is pretty good with simplest settings, I wouldnt recommend using any other camera apps. It has both 16:9 and 4:3 viewfinder options. I didn't have any "focus" issue and might happen sometimes when there is hardly any lighting. Chrome actually works good in this phone but if she has no need for syncing desktop bookmarks and other things, stock aosp browser (can be installed from play store) works much faster than any other browser.

I love the AOSP browser but too many things quit working after Jellybean for me to continue using it. I miss AOSP browser every day though, not least of all text reflow and the speed. Dumping the ability to implement text reflow (not only in Chrome but also every app that relies on the Webview class, such as GMail) was a **** move by Google. Hate them for that.
Glad to hear that the camera is going to do ok with not much messing with settings, my friend really just needs a point and shoot that will capture stuff with minimum hassle. I'll see how she gets on with it then.
For me the camera sucks, i got some purple tint with flash in my pics :S

Is that not a fault? Thought about taking it back and exchanging it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yup, that would def. be a major faulty worthy of free replacement or repair and even easy to prove.
Is it not annoying that the focus feature is not launched by default, and you have to go to the settings wheel every time that you want to take a picture with something in focus? This is another reason I'm thinking about installing a third party camera app for my friend, when the phone arrives.

Not enough RAM
The camera isn't that bad. I've had some good shots from it.
But the lack of RAM is the biggest issue for me, especially when using Chrome. When browsing I often see all other apps killed off, including music playback, which is very frustrating. Basically I cannot use Chrome and Google Play Music together for long.
Also, if I'm casting something to my Chromecast then using Chrome will often kill off the Chromecast notification in the status bar.
And it isn't just Chrome. Yesterday I had RunKeeper tracking a long walk with the family and when I tried using the camera to take some photos along the way it forced RunKeeper to close so I lost my route mapping.
1GB of RAM just isn't enough for me sadly and I am looking to switch to a different device. I am saving for either a Moto X or a Nexus 5.
I understand that problem well - my last phone before my N5 was a Galaxy S3, and the multitasking was abysmal. It was a lot better with an AOSP ROM though, and I was hoping that 1GB RAM on a nice clean (almost) stock build of Android would perform well enough for my friend. There really isn't much alternative in this price range to be fair. Sad to hear about Runkeeper, she's into running in a big way and that's almost certain to be one of the first apps she downloads...

It's an nice nippy device, beautiful screen. Just the camera seems to bu a lot of people.
If you update the camera app through the play store and use HDR then the pictures are good.
There seem to be some problems using the flash, but on mine I haven't had this problem. Though,
what I find using the flash is that it doesn't always(mostly) lite's up correctly. Leaving mostly
dark pictures. I am pretty sure with the correct software it would function just fine.
We should be able to activate the flash manually then start the camera. Could be done with an hack.
Someone on the net suggested to update to the correct radio if you have an custom rom and purple shine. Don't know if that is true. But it couldn't hurt to try.
In any case, not using HDR gives horrible pictures for sure. Check out the pictures thread
on the the moto g forum for examples there above acceptable. And check 'motorola' in the play store.
edit; you also can checkout CameraMX.
Camera issues resolved.
I had a bit trouble with camera but not anymore. You simply change the picture to 4:3 and most importantly control focus and exposure by yourself ( because in low light camera doesn't take good pics at all). You can keep HDR and flash on auto mode.
You can even try AOSP camera ( install it manually without flashing) but I would recommend to stick to stock camera.
Bad call quality(to low volume)
I don`t care about camera, or RAM, they are good enough for me. Bad low volume in earpiece, that **** is killing me. This is my best phone overall i owned, but sound quality(in call volume) is the worst. Does anyone alse also have that problem? I`m thinking about selling Moto G, just because of this issue.

Quite disappointed. Tried two roms, CM and xnph300 camera. With/without "Clear image". Photos are washed out compared to Nexus 5.
Attached are two photos of a mousepad with a woman's picture on it. One is "Clear image", opo. One is Nexus 5.

Here is a series of three landscapes. LTR: iPhone 5, Nexus 5, OPO (Clear Image)

From p. 4 of this thread
There's a thread on IUNI rom over in the Android Dev thread. Short takes
- Everyone loves the UI and camera
- Got to flash a CM recovery to get it to load
- Got to use ColorOS gapps - especially to get english to work. (link in thread, not on OP)
- Got to get the latest beta (link in the thread, not on OP) to get play store to work
- Battery usage poor - although, as usual one or two say not so.
Guess I'll hold off for a while - don't have time to flail around with it rt. now.
It's not washed out. It's white balance problem in my opinion.

Seems you are confused. "Straight from the camera" it did not come - as you say in the third sentence. Yes, keeping things straight for three sentences is a pain...
For the record, and to explicitly say what's implicit in my original post, iPhone and Nexus 5 don't require "pro" cameras or special settings to take decent pics.

The camera does not "sux". It's in fact a very capable camera. It's no Galaxy S5, but it does the job, and then some. I take 98% of my pictures in HDR so maybe that has something to do with it. But I'm pretty content with it regardless; it could be much, much worse.
Can you try ColorOS? I also had a Nexus 5 and found the camera on the Opo a bit grainy, over-exposed etc using CM11s
I can assure you that I enjoy the camera a lot more now.

I want to run "standard" roms such as Mahdi, etc. I'll try to get the APK and maybe break down and try the rom itself. Thanks for the suggestion. Don't want the perfect camera, just one that is not so dramatically mediocre.
---edit---
Looks like getting the APK is hard. Sigh.
Use HDR
After much flailing, I see that using the HDR setting will get acceptable pics. Not great yet, but acceptable. To me.

Well, excuse me for not being 1000% truthful from your mind. I never use the default camera app, but, I have used the camera app that comes with the one, and it does quite well. Perhaps later, I will take one, using the default camera app to show you that it does a good job, and, as with most errors with phone cameras, it is the operator who does not know how to compose, focus and HOLD IT STILL.
Please forgive me for not being 1000% accurate in my statement. My point was this was from the camera, without any editing or photoshopping in any way. {sarcasm off}

Wut... the HDR produces terrible colors and exaggerated HDR photos that belong in reddit.com/r/****tyhdr
Anyone know what toggling each profile with a filled white circle does (HDR, Clear Image, Night, Mono, Sepia and so on)? Is it using a combination of all enabled profiles?

it seems that ColorOS Camera seems to make a HUGE difference compared to CM in terms of quality. (it was reported and review this one on Find 7 witch has same optics, that w/ CM camera seems way worst than on ColorOS)
so my suggestion is to try the whole ColorOS ROM (stable or beta) or Iuni ROM (this one has Oppo's Camera app ) and then you'll see the full power of this hardware piece
After purchasing the Mi4c and waiting for it for three weeks, I keenly unboxed it and started tweaking the living hell out of it. Among others I installed several Google apps, the google account manager (switch off sync in China as it will draaaain your battery), and MIUI 5.10.16 dev. So far so good.
However, when I tried the camera, the online shots of which were very promising, I was so disappointed I ordered the Nexus 5X straight away. In any circumstance that isn't sunny, the rear-facing camera will perform horribly. What I mean is that, unless you stabilize the phone securely with two hands, any shot in a fluorescent light or otherwise slightly dim environment will result in heavy blur. As if you were shaking the phone while you took the shot. Comparing with the Nexus 5 (2013), where you could take a shot from your wrist while riding a bicycle and still have an acceptable result.
Can anyone else confirm? Do I have the worse of two sensors, is it just the tiny objective, or is it software-related? Or is it just what I should learn to accept from a 1500 RMB phone?
Hello mate,
this is what you should learn from a 1500 RMB phone, camera sux as soon as conditions are not optimum. Tried a lot of apps, but the results is still the same. Some apps will focus better though (lenovo super camera v5 for instance).
Nevertheless, a part from the camera, the phone is way better with CM12.1 than the nexus 5X which handle apps horribly again... Very slow to open and reload apps. Which is kind of a big deal.
upload some pics if possible..
let's see it...
Maybe the camera app just sucks hard? You should try others to compare...
These are all shot from the wrist with minimal effort at stabilizing, the way I used to snap pictures with my Nexus 5
Try to take a few indoor shots with a steady hand. It could be that the software uses a quite long shutter time, which results in a blurry shot if the hand isn't steady.
The second step would be: manually set the shutter time according to your preference.
Sure, steadying the phone entirely will work. But that's not really a solution, as you often take a quick snap, the device is light and therefore in almost all situations your hand will be unsteady. It felt like the nexus5 was able to use shorter shutter times in low-light conditions and took steady pictures almost all of the time.
potentially a software problem; after flashing CM Rom the camera improved significantly (also switched from N5 to 4C)
agreed, it got significantly better with the CM rom. Still fairly noisy and a little blurry though. Looks like the camera app (I use Google Camera 4.0) actually takes its time to focus rather than attempting to deliver the quickest shot possible.

Maybe we can have some more samples from another camera app ? We know you have the Sony sensor now, it could be interesting to see if someone has a Samsung one and how is it different in picture quality.
Here are some, as your see low light ones aren't very good and blurred. But even the sunlight ones are a little grainy and not perfectly crisp. Sony sensor.

I have used LG G3 for 2 years then after 1 week of Lg G4 usage found out its battery is thrash ordered myself a 2017 barcoded Samsung G935F.
7.0 Nougat update completed.
Pros:
Good battery endurance.
Does not overheat easily.
Thin and light.
Cons:
Impossible to type while laying in bed or armchair bcs there is no palmguard so you keep pressing home or back button during typing.
Camera isnt better than a g3 or g4 as quality wise.
Fingerprint does not work perfectly.
There is no sound volume slider in drop down menu this sucks as hell.
Most apps and websites are not edge screen compatible so you end up sliding page left or right to read.
Does not have hardware for remote controlling.
Flashlight isnt bright enough.
I am open to suggestions as long as they are meaningful.

Not sure what you mean by not edge compatible. Website and apps work the same way as any flat screen with just a little distortion on the edge but doesn't affect any usability since it's still visible and readable.
Flashlight have 5 level of brightness and level 5 are super bright I start to worry it will burn. Maybe you're on level 1.

Thank you. I have recorded (default settings, did not touch anything) my sister and dad next to sofa and with G4 and S7 in a row and then streamed video to UHD TV, both looked same except S7 was zoomed in so I disabled stabilizator in options and streamed again. It was same quality. Lights, colors everything.

Thank you for your reply.
Fingerprint reader is too fast to judge I guess, I had to re-apply adding finger process several times to make it working more properly.
When I surf the web, some websites' texts are starting from the very edge screen (left) so I can't read first letters of comments or titles. Not sure how to fix that or those websites need to fix it. This does not happen in apps like Youtube or Facebook, must be optimized already.
Sound slider it is shown when I use hardware sound buttons but I would love to see it also next to brightness slider when I drag down the top menu like in LG. I am not allowed to post an image url yet.
This model isn't customized by any carrier and more like an international unit. Only samsung apps are pre-installed.
I didn't know there was levels for brightness, I will check it out and thank you for that. Hope that level is auto applied also to Flashlight shortcut when I enable it.
My biggest problem is to be able to use phone while laying in bed, holding phone on air and typing, some of my hand have to touch hardware buttons and its not solved yet.
I think I need a case to have more space for holding phone on air and type properly.
Thank you guys for your comments. I have searched the web and did not find much about these worries so I had to make a thread.
you know nothing john snow
@fatihso
Sorry. Respectfully Disagree with you..
I`m using this device for almost one year. I don`t have these isssues (specially regarding camera). I`m happy with this device.
+ for the volume slider in notifications! I have it on my ipad but I have to press a physical button on my phone.
I think he's not wrong on that camera part. Believe me I love this phone and its camera. I had a 6P and Note 4 before. Even though I was sure the S7 captured much better pics, lately when I compared 6P and S7, I found the 6P doing better at post processing with HDR mode. S7 oversharpens images and it looks quite horrible sometimes, specially portraits.
And about the clarity thing, yeah 12 megapixels vs 16 megapixels. It shows when zoomed in. But overall S7 camera is much better than other smartphones (taking in consideration video, low light, pro mode etc).
I think in daylight the G4 may take better pics cos of higher resolution (visible when viewed on a bigger screen). Not sure because haven't used a G4 before.
G4 pro mode doesn't compare with s7 edge...try take a pic at midnight with G4 In pro mode at 30s and one with s7 edge at 10s..see who takes it better...LG?
Obvious troll is obvious.
I have this phone for over one year now,its a great phone,but I would like to make my observation about the camera quality too:
its a great camera for scenes for sure, but for human faces, from a bit distance, will blow them out of proportion due to its large pixels letting in too much light in bright conditions.
And also I miss the volume control from the drop down menu without pressing the hardware keys.
everything else is great and I love it a lot.
I have s7 edge for a year now.
Your cons are funny
1) It is possible, maybe you have small hands, that thing doesnt happens to me.
2) Camera is ok, comparing it to g3 is...idk it's silly.
3) If you set up 4x fingerprints 2x left 2x right, make sure you swipe it in all directions. Mine works much better than on marshmallow, 99% of the time.
4) In dropdown menu, you have ringtone, media, notifications and system tones. Where is a problem there?
5) I am using UC browser, no problems in web surfing.
6) IC port missing, the only one annoying thing for me, cant use it as a remote control sometimes.
7) You have free edge app where you can adjust level of flashlight.
The biggest problem for me is the battery after one year. It's capacity is much smaller, and SOT isn't as good when I bought it.

On the finger print sensor, I set both thumbs and both index fingers with multiple angles so I can unlock the phone without having to line up my fingers every time. Other than wet or dirty fingers I haven't had any issues at all. I'm even going to set my touch screen bike gloves as a finger print so I can unlock it when I ride too.
Thank you for replies guys,
It's been like 5 days and I am getting used to the phone. I still don't have any case or alike.
I still have problem typing while on bed. It's not going to be solved without a case to stop my hand touching bottom of the phone while typing in air. My hands are big.
Camera, it has a good camera but in my 1st post I mentioned I recorded a video and then streamed it to TV and I didn't see any difference so it was based on that. I didn't see its worse or better, it felt the same output.
I still would love a volume slider in drop down menu without pressing hardware button. Helps alot if your phone is on table and during watching videos/playing games, you won't need to hold phone and press volume button. Also double tap to lock/unlock phone. I tried some apps but they felt like draining battery after giving them administrative permissions to monitor system.
Anyway, thanks again for your comments.
You had it for 5 days. Man you aren't allowed to speak anything, please.... Use Nova Launcher, standard launcher is annoying. There you can use double tap to lock the phone. And for using it in bed, you just don't know how to.

Maybe he should play with something else than his phone in bed to get some experience.
S7 edge has one for the best camera in any smartphone, G3 G4 aren't even near

The s7 camera is decent but it's clearly optimised for low light with a 1.7 aperture where it is superb.
It's all about compromising and Samsung has probably quite rightly assumed that most folks will snap their sprogs and pets often in less than ideal conditions.
As an enthsiast I have taken some great shots and provided links before but I admit that 12mp on a fixed lens camera may be inadequate if you want to crop or print a little larger. Samsungs own S6 resolves better in good light thanks to 16 mp.
I haven't read up about the S8 camera yet but it uses algorithm to supposedly improve.
That's not enough for me so I see if the Note 8 brings something useful to the table (not just camera wise) to make me upgrade. If not its the next iphone or the S9.
Very happy with the S7 otherwise in every respect.
