front facing camera not focusing? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

so seems like my front facing camera won't focus. it only has a set focus for whatever is in the background and will NOT focus on a face. it's absolutely awful. whatever is in the foreground is blurry and there's no options in the new Samsung cameras to adjust exposure or anything which also makes making some videos on the ffc suck. anyone else having this issue? my note 4 ffc was much better than this one. ugh.

I have the same problem with mine. I thought it was because of the beauty filter.

maybe it's just how this camera is. pardon my ugly mug, but here's a great example. notice it's focusing on the background. it honestly seems just like it's a problem where it's focusing on infinity rather than what's in foreground. maybe a software tweak can fix it? I really don't want to return the damn phone because of this...

my note 4 had no problems. everything was crisp and sharp when i used the ffc. it focuses on the face much better.

I also noticed this when i compared my s6 with my s7.
The s6 when I'm closer to the camera is crisper than the s7 but when I hold my arm strait the s7 wins almost like it finds the sweet spot, the s6 behaves smilar but like i said more crisper up close.
Both cameras show the face detect cirkel.
Could be an issue with the new 3D beauty filter maybe? (And yes i have turn both down to zero)

all the filters are off and it still does it.. unless it's the software processing in the background, who knows. either way I hope they fix it!

Could be the new 3d beauty mode they have added.
I think that event though we turn all filters off there is still some processing going on.

It is a new thing they added to improve low light shots and so on (it takes the light into account when processing the image etc.).
See if i can find a link.

sounds cool. the quality is WORSE in low light, and it's very oil painty looking, which i presume is the processing..however, they don't give you raw features for FFC..they don't even let you adjust exposure which pisses me off, bc i used my note 4 to record guitar videos for youtube, and the FFC looked fine on the note, but it's so overexposed on the s7 it sucks.

front facing cameras don't support auto focus, they have a Fixed-focus lens, & since the sensor is so small there is no bokeh(blur), so its focus distance is set to infinity, that's why it looks a bit blurred when you are too close to it

yeah but the thing here is that previous phones didn't have this issue.
my note 4 is crisp and clear when you're close up, and shows much more detail.

Thats because its has a very wide f/1.7 aperture, it will give some blur at very close distance, since its focus distance is set to infinity

the note was f1.9. not that big of a difference to create such a drastic difference in quality.

Tested two S7 and both was blurry and looked lika filter all over the picture.
Then i tested two S7 Edge and they was crisp sharp, better than my S6.
Both the S7 and the S7 edge had the same camera sensors. Forgot to check FW version but since it is the sames sensors in both the s7 and s7 edge it may be a FW diffense.
What is your FW version on the s7 edges front camera.

hmm very interesting! I wonder if it's a firmware issue then. why would the edge have a different firmware than the s7 though?

Don't know, but I'm having some issues with home button not responding so i will try to get and exhange tomorrow (only 4 days old so I'm within DOA time).
Anyway if i get a new unit i will se if it has them same issue.

there's a video of ffc. you can see how blurry the guitar is compared to the background.

Read your post twice. Still desperately trying to find a sense in it that would justify opening yet another camera thread. Camera still superb at good conditions. And really crap at lowlight and fast moving objects. Shutter speed is pathetic. ONEs video/sound recording also way better. And I tested both for weeks. But wait: that's been basically said on every second page here.

I hate the way reviewers just say Galaxy S4......WHICH VERSION????
They are both very very different!
I think Samsung could do better camera. In low light conditions it is crap, shutter speed is still very low and on 1080p videos you've got tearing smearing with picture zoomed in.
You know, low-light (especially with motion) is the weak-spot of the GS4 camera but we have plenty of examples of high shutter speed images in the various camera threads.
Captures of hose water, kids jumping and so on are "frozen" as long as it's medium light or above.

My low light experience with the S4 is superb. It's able to capture, in night mode, even pictures made in a dark room.
Anyway, use the flash if you in a dark place
I would agree, the s4 really has got itself a very good camera. Im an outgoing person and I take most of my photos in high or medium lights. Its very seldom that I would take pictures of something or someone in low lights. I would use a flash if i really want to capture them with as much detail as possible.
Heres my very first shot of my s4 after i got it out of the box. It was very cloudy thst day. I cropped the fountain area only.

All cameras are useless in low light unless you can control the shutter speed and keep the camera stable. Even high end Cannon or Nikon cameras need a good flash or a tripod to get good results in those kinds of conditions. If you have unwanted motion in the framing then it's game over. At the end of the day, if you can't get light through the lens and onto the sensor, you can't expect to get good pictures. There are dirty tricks that can are employed, such as a high ISO speed, merging images, or a large low res sensor, but at the end of the day you're still making sacrifices with the image.
This low light camera business has become a proper skit for selling smart phones.
low light conditions with Night Mode One.

Shocked at photo quality

OK so im coming from a long line of iPhones and after getting bored of iOS this is my first venture into Samsung. I took this photo at the club I work at last night and seriously, what is going on here? The flash pics were pretty crap too, finding it very hard to focus after pressing the shutter.
p.s yes i know how to take good photos normally and no there isnt any plastic over the lens.

I also noticed the pictures weren't what I expected.
They tend to blur quite easily.
I'm hoping a software update will sort it.
It's a 13MP camera, you're either doing something wrong or your camera is bad.

Definitely not doing something wrong lol, you can clearly see its actually a good picture in terms of light pickup its the smearing like an oil painting and thats nothing to do with the megapixels either
I agree with the poster, ive had many phones and by far the note 3 has the worst photo quality ever, im really dissapointed for a ~750 euro device to have such a bad camera. 13MP looks nice in the specs but numbers is not everything.
To me it looks like there is some kind compression on the image, maybe the firmware has some kind of compression method to keep the camera up to speed for zero shutter lag.
Hope samsung will look into this and give us an update in the camera firmware.

Yes you are right, the bright and especialy daylight pictures are pretty nice, but when things get dark or far away they smudge out. You can see it happen in the bottom 2 pictures in that post, the last 2 are obviously lower quality than the flowers for example.

thanks for the link
What do you expect? The camera has a 1/3" sensor, a FX SLR has ~28 times the sensor area. This means that you would need 28 times the light (or time) to shoot a photo with same quality.
This is not possible because in the conditions where your photo was shot you would need a tripod and long exposure (which is not useable on moving objects) to make a photo which has comparable quality like an outdoor picture!
Anyhow, I have the N3 for one day now and I am happy with it so far, especially with the better camera!

Well it does have to do with the megapixels because the more you have the less the typical blur will be visibly apparent as a result of movement, which seems to be the case here, whether that be movement by you or the subject.

It isnt blur, it's the denoise that samsung is using. This is a software issue, among other things obviously. Whether or not they fix it I have no idea.

Until manufacturers either quit trying to outdo each other with more megapixels on the same size sensor, lower the megapixels on the same size sensor (like HTC did with the One), or increase the sensor size (such as Apple just did with the 5s), low light photos are going to have more and more noise. The smaller the pixel, the less light it captures, which results in worse low light performance.
Here is the metadata for anyone interested .. It seems like the camera shot the picture in night mode

I think he means in regards to noise. I have noticed it my self as well but it is negligible in my opinion as I like the faster focus and shutter speed from before makes it possible to get a lot of pictures I missed.

I feel like the overall speed has increased, but the focus is terrible. Under slightly low light situations, the camera just doesn't feel like focusing properly. Also there are a lot of noise in the photos taken. Also auto-flash isn't working properly. There are situations where you would have expected flash to kick on but it doesn't; leading to horribly dark photos.
My Note 2 had a much better camera...

I assure you, it's not user error. I'm taking pictures exactly like how I took them when I had a Nexus S, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2.
When I take test pictures in my room when it's a bit dark, the camera focus just doesn't work and keeps returning RED focus circle.
My other problem is the auto flash. Trying to take pictures of a piece of paper with writing on it in the dark, the camera won't utilize flash; hence it doesn't focus because it just looks dim and the flash support light doesn't light up the text so camera doesn't know to focus on the text. Manually turning on flash makes it somewhat better.
When in optimal lighting situations, the camera works fine. Issues are with auto focus/flash in dim/dark situations
--------- ACTUALLY I think I found my issue.
It's my case. Spigen Slim Armor. The camera area protrudes and I guess it affects light sensors, thus messing with the focus. I took my case off and was able to have it work appropriately.

CAMERA ISSUE, Delayed Photo, Blurred Shot

Hi,
This is really starting to piss me off, especially coming from a Pixel XL which I think arguably had a better camera.
When I press the camera button on my S8+, there is a slight delay before the picture actually gets taken. If someone was moving after I press the camera button, they are completely blurred in my photo! It is not capturing the moment that I actually take the photo.. It is capturing a few milliseconds after.
This is super annoying, is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks

Try sport shot when capturing kids or moving objects..
I just did a test on my pixel and s8 and both seem to blurry and not be as sharp with a moving subject.... One thing that I did to cut down on photo delay, which is a double edged sword for me because I love the feature... But what I did was cut off motion photo and my photos are instant now.. before that there was a slight delay understandably so as it was recording video as well... Idk if you have that feature eon or not but if you do turn it off.

Ok also do you buy any chance have the battery saver mode on with the option that limits the CPU to 70% that could also be an issue. And I keep HDR on AUTO idk if you leave it on maybe that cause a little delay because of the extra processing. Lol I'm kind of just throwing out suggestion because it's really a great camera so I don't see why your having the issues you are.

You need to learn something about basics of photography. Lack of good light means longer exposure time and all the objects from frame that are moving will get blurry. You can go to manual and increase the ISO settings to shorten the exposure time.
With a 2000 USD DSRL you will get the same result IF your settings are not right for the scene you try to get.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Honor 7X come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Did not get much time to capture some shots with my new 7X. Here is some images that i took with 7X. All shots are from Auto mods. Nothing edited. Not get a chance to take Potrait shots. I know Potrait shot in 7X is just a joke only.. Its really sucks...

Looking to get this for my mom, but with all the photos I've seen, they're all just... INCREDIBLY DARK...
Dual rear cameras of Huawei Honor 7X works
After seeing these photos, I can only say rear cameras with 16MP f/2.2 and 2-mp works together. Though sometimes the supported light is not enough. But most of the time, it works fabulously.
Try using the front camera in normal lighting condition and than cry in a corner because it just sucks...?
Photos are really bad in lower light conditions. The Pixel Camera port is not available for this chipset
The screen is nice but camera plain sucks
can the camera improve with an update?

For sure but only if someone works on the camera software
Had mine few days 64GB/4GB blue and while yes it's a cosmetic upgrade over 6x I feel camera and performance isn't that much better some tweaking needed and yes low light is horrid

Honor 7x seems to be much promising but yet I am confused if it can perform better than Mi A1. Software is the thing that can revolutionize the hardware functionality like camera.

What if some other phone's camera app is made to use in honor 7x
I'm confused why previous comments were saying the camera sucks. I'm coming from a Galaxy S7 and wasn't expecting much but honestly this thing takes great pictures. Very detailed and crisp in the right predicaments.

I came from a Note 5 and the 7X camera blows it away hands down. I have decent low light photos as well whereas my Note 5 and wife's LG Vista was absolutely horrible.

Yeah it's still not good as the S7 but it's definitely on par with or better than the S6. What more can I ask for. I was totally not expec much out of this camera and was pleasantly surprised. I don't have the lag most people complain about except soentimes opening the camera app. Can't wait til my Oreo OTA finally comes so that's gone.
Pretty decent. This was shot with the aperture function and set to f/1
It´s a cheap phone, so I didn´t expect too much. But after the camera of my Note 4, this phone´s camera is just poor. Very poor. I´m gonna get rid of it , and get my Note 4 fixed.
I really dislike the camera, and I wish that I had read a review about it before I bought the phone. There are two problems. 1) The resulting images are WAY to contrasty. Anything in shadow is pretty much black. Outdoor shots will have a well exposed sky and very dark to black ground. If someone's face has shadow on it, they will be unrecognizable. Which brings me to the second point... 2) The camera does not remember any of your settings when you open it again, except for the flash setting. For example, you can set HDR mode, but it will always revert back to standard mode, sorry! Other manufactures have their cameras remember HDR mode. Or, you can put it in "pro" mode and wade through the menu and move the contrast slider to help the "too much contrast" problem, but the camera won't remember that if you close it and you will have to do that every time you open the application again. I'm experimenting with other camera apps, but you will lose the special features that the phone camera has like the depth of field simulation with the second lens., and you can't use it with features like the "press volume twice to wake up and take a quick picture". I'm really disappointed with it.
Have anybody tried to shoot with custom rom? Can i see sample images? I just want to make sure before i buy it
