CAMERA ISSUE, Delayed Photo, Blurred Shot - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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.

Thanks for the heads up, it seems my motion photo was off by default. Not sure what's causing the delay still

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.

Maybe you are using an external microsd to save the images?. Using internal memory will be always faster...

Anyone else noticing a soft washed out look on faces in pictures? Almost like a beauty face filter?

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.

Looks to be the case. I used to have a 6P and while it was slower it was sharper and didn't have that looks on faces.

I agree. Not a fan of this soft washed out look. Make sure the skin tone setting is all the way down. It helps a tiny bit.

Sense Camera ~Does~ take 8MP Pictures as Advertised!

OK folks, move along, nothing to see here. I hate it when people cover up their retarded mistakes, so I will leave mine out here for any interested parties to see.
Has no one else noticed, or is it just not a big deal to anyone? The Sense camera only takes 3264 x 1840 images! That is at the "8MP" setting!! A simple plug-n-chug in a calculator nets you 6,005,760 pixels, or 6MP, not 8.
A quick check in CameraZoomFX shows images being taken at 3264 x 2448, a much more honest 7.99MP (Which I will call 8 ). Does this not upset anyone?? That rapid-fire shutter was one of the camera's biggest selling points for me, but I don't want to take pictures that are pre-cropped!

if you explore further, turn off widescreen under camera options and you get the same 3264x2448. camerafx doesn't do widescreen photos as far as I know.
Or what the guy above me just said
Is your camera set to widescreen?

Thanks guys. I would tell you how long I looked for that setting... But you might think me even dumber.
So why does it default to wide screen? That seems weird. I didn't realize that I was only taking 6 MP shots til now.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I knew about this...I personally like widescreen. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't blatantly lie to us by saying that the widescreen setting is 8mp.
Has anyone compared the two settings and notices a difference in image quality? this def explains the smaller picture files thought. I never 'really' thought about it until now.
they need to remove the 8m next to the resolution. thats bull
Sample Pics - Low Light
Real quick comparison showing the differences between the "Widescreen (Fake 8 MP)" mode vs "Normal (Real 8 MP)" mode.
Only editing done to the images is a crop overlay.
Shots taken in my living room that is mostly dark with one lamp bouncing light off the wall. Also manually set the ISO to 200 & 400 for comparison (auto ISO is setting crazy high values and degrading the photos immensely).

No they don't. As your lighting conditions diminish the photo quality degrades and its very noticeable, especially in auto-everything mode.
I don't use auto everything. But to each their own I guess.

The widescreen has been bugging me so thank you for pointing out the setting!

HTC is probably deliberately setting the ISO high on auto and trying to use the LED flash when ISO cannot get sharp 4 fps capture, I'm guessing their logic is that a noisy photo is better than a blurry mess, seeing as how most people will only use it for uploading to Facebook, they won't be able to tell the difference once FB's compression mangles it anyways.
I didn't find it for a while either... Just a crop, kinda annoying actually. It's awesome to shoot with the screen full, but you're just throwing away pixels.
Off topic a little, but still camera related. Has anyone noticed that if you set you screen brightness to low, open up your camera, take a pic, hit your home button and the darn screen is all jacked up to the brightest level. Is it my phone, a setting or normal?

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.

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

For the car stereo photo: The camera is metering for the bright screen. Try HDR, or using a flash. I'm currently on an ASOP rom so I can't recall if there is a way to change the metering mode, but try the others.

Sure you can: Center, Spot and Matrix.
For OP: Try Spot metering. You can also lock on the dashboard and then reframe on the radio display (you can lock exposure and focus, if I recall correctly, by holding the shutter button - but only if burst mode is disabled). But then you'll probably have the display overexposed.
OP I would agree with you, I'm far from impressed with the camera on this phone, I suppose some would say it's not the sort of phone for people who like taking photos and to choose a different phone. However coming from the Note 2, HTC One and Z1 all performed pretty well in lowlight conditions and were pretty quick at taking photos, this is pretty naff in lowlight even with the flash on as there seems to be too much of a delay with the shutter!
Today I took a couple of photo's in good light and I had to hold the phone still for like 3/4 secs otherwise my photo blurred like crazy! Either there is another setting I've turned on by mistake or its just this phone.
I'm glad I have a decent camera and don't really on this as my main camera....

The ISO on my EOS 70D can go to 12800 (Nobody in their sane mind uses that). It produces pictures that look like something made with a 2001 VGA camera. :silly: The higher you set the ISO, the worse the noise is going to be. Just because it can doesn't mean it should

I agree that the note 3 camera aint so bad. I actually feel that it takes better shots than an SLR in daylight conditions. For medium to low light, thats when the note 3 starts to lose it edge. I almost always have to resort to using flash, and evenso, if the subjects are far like more than a meter away, the flash just wont cut it.
Dont get me wrong though, I love my note 3. Its not like I take a lot of photos in medium and low lights.

It seems that way because the camera on the Note 3 (and most smartphones) oversaturates the picture. Makes the colours look all bright and shiny, and people like that.
It's when you zoom in past 20% actual-size preview that you start seeing the difference. (Unless you use one of those cheap pointless SLR's that sell for 100-300 quid. Those actually do take worse pictures.)

front facing camera not focusing?

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.
Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
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...

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.
3d beauty eh? I never heard of that

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.

Heres a low light pic of my daughters "Rare Shiny" Vaporeon.

I've been prepping for this thing to get into my hands by shooting in a few places that I usually find myself in, some being really low light. (Jazz clubs and art museums with fragile items.) I've shot in these spaces with every camera I've ever owned. (FF DSLR's on down to cellphones)

Lots of noise at the top of the photo! Eeek... I may be sending this phone back.

Up to you . Im going to keep mine and see if it gets rooted. If it doesn't... well, i might keep it quite a few month. after all i only paid 600+ for it, not 800+
I think that the problem relies on the ISO i was using. Let me show you all 3 pictures and zoom them in , you will see that the noise significantly diminishes .
Oh man. Looks like I need to get a case.
Camera on auto mode is AWFUL at any kind of action shots. In a CrossFit competition this weekend and the camera couldn't keep up at all and most shots are BLURRY. I ddn't go into manual mode cuz i figured the phone would keep up, wish i would have viewed the pics before. Disappointed big time with this.

Is there not a sports shot or action shot mode like in Samsung?

I looked in the modes after the fact and did not see one, may need to find an alternative cam app. Problem was I know exposure and all that but when competing i gave it to my husband to take pics., i could have made corrections shooting manual but honestly, didn't expect to have to do so.

I actually really like how that looks. It's got a quality I really like to work with. Once I actually get my phone in hand and start playing with it, I'll see if I have the same type of noise. If it's the same and I can figure out a workflow on mobile to recreate what I used to do with my old Nikon D80, I'll share the workflow to make that kind of noise work for you.

Check the last post on page number one. There you will see that the noise was reduced alot from left to right. The first one is the same one i posted first, the second and third i lowered the iso and adjusted the aperture. Now, remember, i was using manual mode, if it had been in automatically, maybe it would have adjusted everything itself and reduce the noise on its own.

I'm actually very keen to play with the noise generated off of this sensor. Something to note is that on the Nexus 6, engaging HDR in the Google Camera app cleaned up a lot of the noise from that sensor's files and made them quite usable so I'll be looking into that too. But yeah, if the noise has certain characteristics, it can make for some good photos.
A couple of shots of a photogenic spider from yesterday. Between Google's compression during upload, then redownloading and uploading to XDA only to be compressed again, I think they still look pretty good.
Anybody know how to embed links straight from Google Photos?
On action shots , did you use burst mode. The LG G5, LG G4 and V10 were brilliant using this method. Another option is record in 4K and then extract 8mp stills from the video.
