Hello,
I have recently purchased an S6 and am loving it so far how ever last night I noticed that a black line appears on the camera when shooting in low light against darker backgrounds. I have been a little worried about it and just can't seem to figure out what it is. The camera functions perfectly in normal light. This issue only occurs on the back camera, the front camera is fine.
You can see the line especially well when a filter is added. I can't attach pictures because im new but I can message them to you if you wish to see!
Does anyone know what is causing this and should I be concerned?
Thank you in advance.

Another captivate owner brought this to my attention and i wanted to see if I could replicate it. I didn't notice it on my own or with my pictures so I wouldn't say it's a big deal but wanted to see if anyone else noticed this as well.
In low light, taking pictures of a white surface shows a clear red tint/blotch in the center of the picture. Not sure why this would be, but it seems more evident in low light conditions.
Here are some samples.
Same issue here. It definitely shows up in the camera preview on the AMOLED

This is because the camera over-saturates the images. If you can find a camera app that lets you change those settings it would be fixed. The reason it shows up more on the AMOLED is because the AMOLED is already over-saturated.
I'm not sure that makes sense since the problem is visible on my computer upon export, which means that it's not just a problem while viewing on the SAMOLED screen.
Does anyone experience a pixelated picture when using the stock camera in a low light setting? I find it kind of annoying. The picture during the daytime is great but as it gets darker.... doesn't do so well. Is there a fix for it? Does anyone know if the camera mod fixes this issue??
try adjusting the ISO settings in the camera app. This is mostly a limitation of the camera sensor on smart phones.
it's still pretty pixelated. I'm guessing there's not much more you can do about it since it's a hardware limitation?

can you take some picture and upload them im gonna do the same and beside i have noticed the same thing. to me it look like the screen is burning and the pixels are shining very bright which make the screen look crap and beside can you try some different camera app from market. try pudding camera the screen look way better than stock.
this picture i took around 2- 3
have a look
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
Hey guys,
I just got my xperia L a couple of days ago and i was wondering, does the front facing camera seem rather black & white to any of you too?
I mean, it's a VGA camera, i get it, bus seriously, minimal to no colours?
Far as I remember I was skyping using my phone and there was a lot of colours. But I was outside a house with a lot of sunshine.
Not sure how this works in home with low light.

Mine is like yours when there's not a lot of light. Even with artificial light it seems black and white.
But outside in day light ther are a lot of colors.
It's normal

Anybody getting a constant flow of lines going across their camera? I'm experiencing this with rear and front camera. Really not impressed
I am not experiencing anything like that.

No
I only get it in low light conditions... Might be my energy saving light bulbs, now that I think about it lol.
I do get the lines, but not in the final picture, only in the screen in the camera app.

Does it kinda look like an old CRT monitor when recorded with a video camera? I kinda suspect it may have something to do with the manufacturing origin / intended country of sale for your phone and the region in which you are using it. Here's an interesting video on why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzP8FFKpwQ0 forgive me if I've misunderstood what's going on.
I get lines sometimes. Usually when near fluorescent light sources, or looking at a TV screen. Don't forget these sources run at certain frequencies, UK electricity for example is 50Hz, so fluorescent tubes are flickering at that frequency, same with TV's. Basically.
The lines on my screen don't seem to translate into the final images, or the image enhancement removes them.
