Try updating phone software to 2.17
It should fix all the camera problems.

Press on the camera icon, then "normal" (first option) and here you go.

It seems that you are opening camera from lock screen!
Open it from App drawer, you will see all options!
XL's 8MP camera gives average performance.
In good light condition, photos are not that sharp as 8mp cameras.
In low light photo comes grainy, low detailed.
Its flash is very bright
It's HDR mode is awesome.
But no 1080p recording in stock ROM
Video performance is poor in 1.31 and 1.36 firmwares but good in 2.17 (which is latest.)
Also front camera captures gray-scale photos in 1.31 and 1.36 firmwares which is fixed in 2.17

Poor quality on camera?

I experience poor picture quality on the pictures i take with stock app. I come from a Nexus 5 wich is recognized as having a poor camera and i had better picture on the Nexus. The picture is grainy in both light and dark environment. Colours is washed out. I use the hdr on auto. Resolution on the highest or the one below. I am comparing the pictures on the computer.

Outdoor photos with good light should not be grainy.try to focus better .indoor photos with low light are indeed a little grainy . try and experiment more in different light conditions . the camera is not top notch but for casual photos is ok. You need to spend some time with the camera to get used to it. It is the same camera as lg g3 maybe you can find more info in lg g3 thread.

Do you take pictures zoomed in? Under normal conditions and in the daylight the pictures shouldn't be grainy at all. In fact, I quite like them actually. IMHO best of all phones I've had in the past (see my sig) and it even takes usable pictures in almost total darkness (full moon, no flash).
I don't like the camera app, but that's a different story.

Thanks for your reply.
Do you use hdr or do you avoid it?

I left it to "Auto". IMHO it's quite smart and turns out better pics. Generally.

Front Camera Image Zoomed in

Hello, I've been an XDA lurker for a while, starting with my Galaxy S4. I just recently got a OnePlus 6, and love it so far, but this one problem is kind of irritating me.
When using the front camera (both in the camera app when not set to 4:3, and third party apps like snapchat), the picture looks very zoomed in). I'm guessing its because any other ratio is just a cropped version of 4:3.
The only way I can think to fix this is to force a different ratio for the camera to use, but I'm not sure if that is even possible.
Anyone else have this type of problem? Help would be much appreciated.

I think its because the lense has a higher focal length... Nothing to do with ratio.

So is there any way to work around this so that the front image isn't so zoomed in?

For video? It's because of their stabilization

I mean in the pictures. Like if you're taking a selfie, the viewfinder shows the image as very zoomed in (like your face covers the image if you're a normal distance away), and the picture is taken like that.

When you shoot with 4:3 you have all the picture of the sensor. When you shoot with 16:9 or other you don't use all the sensor but it crops the image to be in that ratio. And you see the zoom. Take a picture with 4:3 and zoom with your fingers to see a picture of 16:9 shot. It's the same.

OP 6 camera quality issue after latest update! Help!

OP 6 camera giving pictures with Yellow hue and blurring the images even in day shots, after latest update. Compared the images with 6T and 5T. Before the update pictures were great but I think there is some issue with latest update making the images look cheap. Tried using G Cam app which makes back camera images better but not the front cam images. I'm wondering if I'm the only one facing this issue. Please help.

Yup... Pics look like an oil painting when zoomed it.

Any solution?
Is the OP team working on it... Will it be fixed in the future?
