I have a M2 D2306 and I can tell your problem is because of Lollipop. I use to have 18.6.A.0.182 (Lollipop) installed but I had to downgrade to 18.3.1.C.1.17 (KitKat) last week because I couldn't stand the camera issues. The camera quality is just terrible in Lollipop but I don't know why.
Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language
It's not because of the camera on Lolipop at all, its the snapchat app not the M2. Speak to the snapchat devs camera on 18.6.A.0.182 is fine and way better than KK.

Bad news for me - the camera in the new firmware has become much worse. Greatly increased color noise, noise reduction has become very aggressive. The result is blurred and "dirty". And the camera has become a kind of "click" while focusing.
Good news: Snap Camera appeared ISO setting from 100 to 2400 and HJR. Focus has become a little faster.

Just click on my photo and look at the details.
I'll be glad if anyone try to make test photo with Snap Camera or similar software (with better quality than stock Moto camera) before and after update to Kitkat. May be it was just a my mistake - may be i didn't do factory reset after update. But now I'm on 4.1.2 Nexesque again and happy with old camera quality)
I see this on my Wife's M, 442 also.
Get the latest Lenovo Cam in my Moto x page. See My signature.
I use the Google Camera app from the play store. It seems to have pretty decent quality. I also disabled the stock camera app so on the lock screen or when opening up the camera through a shortcut it opens up Google Camera versus the stock one. I'd try that if you haven't yet.

The only thing I don't like about the Google Camera is it won't let me state where to save my pictures. I do not like storing them on the internal memory. At least with the Moto camera, I can store them on the external SD card.
Lenovo is good but no way to save to extSD or OTG as it does on my X. Internal only.
On KitKat my rear facing camera in SnapChat stretches the pictures vertically. What's odd is that it worked fine for the first few pictures. Anyone else have that problem?
Tried to put all *camera* files from /system/lib of old 4.1.2 ROM to new Kitkat. First was /system/lib/hw/camera-msm8960.so and after rewrite and reboot with clearing dalvic i got a fail on start Camera app. Ok, i rewrote all remaining files like /system/lib/*camera* , clear dalvic and made reboot. Now i've got a bootloop)
So, is anybody know how to install all old 4,1,2 camera driver to kitkat?
Is anybody got same problem?
i think it's because your phone cant focus !
try other app with fix focus options
What do you mean - cant focus? I hold the phone, tap "shot" and after green square appears, phone makes the focused photo. On my examples you can see very noisy photos on KitKat, at first.
Any news in, guys?)

It's the Moto G2 camera and it is running great on my Maxx. I'm running rooted stock VZW 4.4.2.
Edit: switched back to stock camera, the Moto G2 camera broke tethering.
Hello guys, just got my Z3 for christmas and I'm loving it, but there is one problem that is really annoying me.
When I try to take a photo with flash ON in snapchat, (only regular camera, not front), the photo gets blurry as hell. It focuses before it takes the photo, but it seems to capture the photo at the wrong moment/time.
So it kind of captures the photo right before/after the photo is at focus. This way it gets blurry as hell. This does NOT happen without the flash, or with the front camera.
And this is only in snapchat, not the stock camera app. Is this a phone related problem or a problem with snapchat? Anyone else heard of it? I tried to google it, but didn't find anything similar.
Is there anything I can do? I have tried reporting this to snapchat, but I'm not receiving any answer.
Thanks in advance!
Happens on every phone I've had with snapchat...
Take a picture with the stock camera app and use SaveMySnaps to share it.

Thats a pretty good idea, thanks. It says my snapchat account might get banned for using third party software, though..
Does anyone know if this is a common problem? Ive never heard of it or seen it before. I really hope this gets fixed soon, if its a software related problem. Really annoying..

It's not a phone specific problem. Happened on my M7, M8, Moto X and my Z3. Report it to Snapchat...
Did anyone find a solution for this? It is happening on my Sony xperia Z3+ as well. Only happens with back facing camera when flash is used. If flash it not used, it turns out fine.

I've seen no issue. Video recording works fine, camera is better than KK, at least for me.
Video recording is grainy at night and interiors， worst than k.k. furthermore I have lost the option effects in the camcorder menu， I will try downgrade.
my front camera is taking blurry pictures this is happening from few weeks i considered taking it to service center but maybe you people can help
blurry pictures as in if i take a selfie,the face appears washed out or very cartoonish type if i zoom in it gets distorted and its lacking details its not taking as sharp pictures as it use to take before although rear camera is working fine... please help
I have a similar problem with my front camera. Pictures taken are really ugly, the look like they have a beauty effect on it, or some blur. I thought this is normal...
It is normal. MAYBE rooting can undo the beauty effect, but on stock, beauty effect set to 0 is not really 0

So you say your friends phone does not have this beauty effect??? maybe it is firmware related. I am on 5.0.2. This sounds like a software issue...
I don't use the front camera anymore because the result is terrible.
Are there any others with good pictures made with front camera?

yes his s6 takes better pictures! without the beauty effect unless ofcourse he turns it on and no i dont have any other friends who own a s6 but i just watched many reviews on youtube and it seems this is a problem with our s6 only
and i guess it is firmware related but im on latest firmare of 5.1.1(G920IDVU3DOK9) for my region
maybe it is hardware issue? lens problem?

I'm also experiencing the same problem.
Any help?
I love my pixel 3a, even the front camera selfies (even though it has a fixed focus). The phone takes awesome pictures, also with the front camera.
However, during video call (whatsapp or snapchat), the video quality is very very very bad. I mean like there is water in the lens or something or it just can't focus or its trying to smooth out everything till infinity. I don't get how this is possible. I know android doesn't have the best social media camera (compared to iphone, which is better optimized), but my galaxy s8 is doing whatsapp and snapchat video's just fine and in focus.
Other people have experience with this? it's really a pity, because it's the only thing i really dislike at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
With kind regards

Thanks for your reply Asep,
I am running the same build number as you. Yes I hope it's fixed in the next update. Have you heard other people have this problem? can't seem to find many people with this problem. I would assume many people would have this issue.

Just updated to the July patch. Unfortunately still have the same problem. I guess we're just unlucky and it's somehow a hardware issue. I can't imagine that the rest of the pixel 3a owners have the same thing but aren't bothered by it. I read on reddit of one guy who was talking about blurry front camera, but after phone was replaced the problem was gone.
I've had the same problem! My build number is QQ2A.200501.001.B2. I just got a new Pixel 3a as the last camera just died, but it was also an issue on the previous Pixel 3a as well.
Any news on this? I've found several threads on Google support sites regarding this issue but they've ve all been closed without a solution. There must be more people with this issue though and I'm not sure at the moment if this is a hardware issue or not.
Since last night we're in a serious lockdown here in the Netherlands and this is becoming a dealbreaker, cause the front camera is our most used lifeline with friends and family.
I'm on RQ1A.201205.003 and using WhatsApp for video calls.
Edit: see for example this thread from Google support: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/63843045?hl=en
