Camera? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

1. What camera modes are available stock and what camera modes are available for download? Is dual camera (simultaneous front and back camera shot) mode available on either?
2. How is the low light motion blur? Do the subject's slightest movements still blur in low light?

Looks like there is no option for dual camera. That's a bummer. I really loved it on my Note 4.

Video collage, that could be cool....me thinks to myself out loud

Had my kid wave his hands in the T-Mobile store. S7 Blur was very limited when manually setting faster shutter speed and higher iso... looked much better than my old Note 4.
Couldn't find dual camera front + back setting anywhere in the S7. Maybe permanently discontinued or maybe S7 just not capable of doing it or maybe they'll add it to the Galaxy Apps Store later? Any other phones (Samsung or non-Samsung) besides the Note 4 that have dual camera front and back simultaneous shot?

Sony z3 does it. It is called face in picture.

Camera app

As we all know the stock camera isn't the best. Anyone have good alternatives they use to take quality pictures?

I still get blurrry images when up close using flash, idk im disappointed so far with this phone, i loved my og atrix. the camera to the sd card problems may make me return it.
what kind of camera to sd card?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
sorry if that confused haha i meant from the camera problems to the sd card problems. as in 2 separate issues. Im returning my atrix 2 today too many issues that I dont see being updated anytime soon.
I am disappointed with Camera Zoom FX and am bummed that I let it get past the 15 minute refund window. Though, I suppose for $5 it is still better than the stock.
I REALLY liked the camera features that were on my Captivate - you can tap on a spot on the screen for lighting and focus, not relying on the image being exposed based on the center of the screen.
I like Camera Advance and Camera360 Ultimate.
Camera zoom fx. For sure

You have to press and drag the focus square in the middle for the Atrix2. I have no idea why motorola won't do it like everyone else with tap-area-to-focus
I have Camera Zoom FX, and I have to say that I prefer the stock camera app. I think that the stock camera app's UI is nice, the photos are good, it has a fair amount of different settings, and although it's not tap-to-focus it's drag-to-focus, which at first is annoying but now I prefer it as it lets you move the square more accurately.
I had the A4G before my A2, and I think that the A2's camera is at least as good as the A4G's camera, except for the flash (the A4G had an extremely powerful flash).
I tried the Camera Zoom Fx and the layout is much better than the stock but picture quality is a whole different story.
I took 2 sets of pictures (one with CZ fx and stock). In both sets, the resolution was NOTICEABLY clearer in the stock camera app. Totally unexpected for me because I assumed CZ Fx would be better. For instance a car licence plate was easily readable upon magnification with the stock app but almost unreadable with CZ FX.
Both apps were set to 8mp, auto focus.
Camera zoom FX pic's EXIF: F/2.8 5mm 1/274s ISO-100
Stock camera app pic's EXIF: F/2.8 5mm 1/257s ISO-65535
I will be sticking with the stock. Stock seems to optimize settings better.

I love camera zoom fx. It can be testing at times, but for the most part, a great app. The HDR app(forgot the name - reformatted my phone) is good too.
Not sure if pictures will work.
camera fx is now on sale for just $0.49

You guys should also try ICS Camera+ it's basically a port of the Camera from the Galaxy Nexus, it works great. Picture Quality is great as well...
What about vignette? I think it's great for more artistic takes

I've tried Vignette as well as Camera Zoom fx - both are good for effects. Since the 2.3.6 update, stock camera works fine for me. I'm not big on effects. I just need a nice, focused, crisp photo and stock does that for me now.

9500 Camera speed vs S3 and Note2

Hello I have the lastest 9500 firmware, last night I was at the club with my friends and when I try to take pictures with flash take aprox. 6-8sec to focus and take it.. My friends have S3's and Note2 so they were about to take photos in 2-4 sec.
Anybody have same issue ?
or mine is slow ?
Regards,,
Yes I have too
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 4
yep there is definitely little shutter lag on GS4 compared to S3 or N2 ( maybe bcuz the higher mega pixels )
Try to use the 8MP option and you'll see no difference at all.

Disable the auto night detection...
I use the camera on 9.6 mp and Night mode Off and its very laggy

Basically useless. No point using flash on anything that moves.
Have found a temporary solution for the same.
Please enable anti-shake control in your camera settings. Trust me the photos are going to be taken at the speeds of the S3 at least.
Regards
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 4
I didn't notice any special change by activating anti-shake on the i9505 personally.
I tried that one before but its same... Laggy on Flash shots Today I have insalled new Taiwan based rom tonight Im gonna try it..
Hope some speed will be ..
My i9500 needs using flash 2.9" even it is in 13mp or 8.
If I touch the screen so as to make focus, capture immediately.

Grid mode for camera??

Is there a grid mode or rule of third in the stock camera app?
is there a way to add this type of feature to the stock if there isn't any?

You would need to download a new camera app for this. The stock camera app is still lacking features, and the view screen is not even the same aspect ratio as the pictures its taking.
Focal is a good camera app with grid. You can download it on play store.

Snap camera has that option. Its my camera app of choice

Hear about this in my research but it looks bulky, so many features for a camera app. I am not sure if many of them are necessary.
what is your preferred camera app? Do you use Focal personal?

Is it close to the stock camera. From what I've seen with the stock camera, it looks great and easy to use, not too much unwanted junk.

There isn't that much features. It got flash, white balance, scene mode, HDR, effects, exposure comp., burst mode, timer and settings which has image size, toggle exposure ring, auto-enhancement and grid mode. Yeah I use focal.

Camera app like iPhone?

Hi. I'm a new z1c user and I'm loving everything except the camera.
Anybody know how I can get the camera to shift White balance according to where I tap?
On the iPhone for example if there's a bright spot and the picture looks too dark, if you tap a dark spot it will adjust the colors shop that the colors balance according to your objective.
Can the Z1c do this too?
I've only seen the manual mode which is far worse send more complicated than the standard camera app on the iPhone (which I hate as a phone)
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
It actualy only adjusts exposure (on iPhone).
I don't know an app that does this by tapping, but you can adjust it in manual mode by taping the icon between the flash and scene mode.
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
It sounds like you want touch focus. Z1c does this: go to settings in camera app and change focus mode to touch focus.

He wanted touch focus with touch exposure together. I know Iphone and HTC does support that but our z1c no.
Or just download Google camera app
It supports touch focus and exposure

Yeah it doesn't balance the whites as good as the HTC (HTC one's white balance > iphone's, iphone's pic quality > HTC one's) but for what we are left with, I guess it does its job done. But can be better. If ill find any other app that can do the touch exposure thing, I'll buy it and use it as my camera app on my phone.
Sorry if you had to waste few bucks on the paid apps I mentioned.
Try to contact snap hdr team and tell them about this exposure feature maybe they might listen?

Moto x Pure Cam update Nice difference !

5.1.13.12 is the current version.
Up until now I pressed on the focus button and I took the pic. Now this doesn't work.
Am I wrong?
You now press anywhere on the screen apart from the focus point.
Also by tapping and holding the focus button you can lock focus? Was this there before?

Those are both new features I believe. The new camera update is super nice. I'm even getting pretty good low light photos. I'm shocked.

Haven't tried the camera a lot with the new update. I'm eager after these comments about the quality.
How is it updated? Through Play Store?
Yes. If you'll be able to update camera app it'll be able in play store.

Thanks. I haven't actually gotten the phone. Which is weird because I decided to buy it this late in the year. Pretty excited to install the update for the phone once I receive it.
Edit: Just started wondering if the this can be installed on the XT1572 Style..
Hey guys, how is the exposure improved? Other than low light improvement, I sure hope the overblown highlight is fixed as well. The overblowing problem makes its photos less attractive than others.
