True. Note 8's main selling USP is Dual Camera and Portrait Mode. They are not going to do that.
It can be achieved by third party application though but not sure about samsung.

That and we already have selective focus. It sucks but they might upgrade it.

Selective focus does not suck, and was better implementation of bokeh than google camera 'snap then move phone upwards', for years.
The only difference between portrait mode and selective focus is that one you select amount of blurring beforehand, and the other one after the pic is taken. That and obvious differences (dual lens etc.)
Don't see how they can achieve that with our single lens.
And please, this is phone arena article after all. They just had a slow day and needed to make **** up. They either speculate or regurgitate old stuff and present it as something new, to fill news.

Anyone else disappointed by the camera?

Hello!
Been playing with the camera today. I'm not... Very impressed... Im coming from a iPhone 6. You can shoot in tiff(raw) on the iPhone. Shooting raw at base iso still seems to be heavily processed. When I import the image into snap seed is says it's a raw file. But using es file Explorer says it's a jpeg when looking at the picture in its folder.
As of right now. I'd rate the 8mp raw files from the iPhone superior to the ones of the s7. Far superior.
I've tried lightroom , Snapseed and photo director.
I haven't downloaded camera fv-5 yet. So that's another option I guess.
I just cannot seem to locate the raw files.... Or the camera is not producing raw files.
Regardless... Zooming in 50% is a muddy mess. This is shooting at base iso (50) and 1/90th a second shutter speed in raw.
Tell me what you think...
Yes I am shooting in pro mode with raw checked. It was shot sitting against something with zero movement.
Anyone?
Alright here is the difference between light room and snap seed raw files.
I am now using camera fv-5. Well worth it.
The better one is from light room.

so you sorted out the problem?
Yeah I guess so. I guess the oem camera app isn't shooting in raw or something.
I don't like.how if I want wide-screen pics i.have to resort to 9 megapixels. 12 is 4x3

is that something that we'd be able to change once root comes out or not?

No it's the physical camera sensor orientation. I'll mention that most other phones are 4:3 like the S7, not 16:9 like previous Samsung phones

So, what's the best camera app, light room or camera fv-5?
Light room for processing. Camera fv-5 for taking raw pictures.
This is all strictly for raw pictures.
I own both the iPhone 6S and the Samsung Galaxy S7, NO comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is the much better camera.

In regards to s7 png files vs iPhone tiff files?
I'm not on here starting a vs thread. Something was just up with the raw files. I was not satisfied with the S7 raw files.
I still can't locate them from the stock app. Light room also never found them. Using Camera fv-5 light room finds the png raw files.
Indeed the raw files are very nice.
I dont really care about jpeg for casual shooting. They are fine. It's a cell phone. But if i go hiking and I forgot my Camera. I wanted to know what the camera on the S7 was capable of. I have now found what resulted in the most detail and sharpness. I was at first disappointed. Especially using the stock app. I am now satisfied with the results.

You know that even after using pro, you have to go into settings of camera and turn on save raw copy. Then it creates two files a jpeg and a dog file which you can the proccess just like fv-5 cam.

Yes. As I said in the end of the OP. I had everything checked. You have to recheck it every time you go into pro mode. It doesnt stick. I have yet to find the raw file from the Samsung Camera. Fv-5 produces 2 files. One raw and one jpeg.

As you can see in the pics below once that option is turned on on my phone it always stays on, and then it makes a double on jpeg and one dng.
Mine does not stay on. Close the app in recents, reopen it and go to pro mode and tell me if it is still checked.. Mines not. So it would be good to know.
Also... Like I said I can't find the png. It's no biggie now. I'll just use fv-5.

The wide angle camera on LG5 is hardware related so No, it cannot be ported as a zip file..

The G5 has a wide angle lens, meaning it's the actual lens that allows you to do it.. it's not a software thing you can port over. It's a piece of hardware that enables the G5 to do it.

Not until someone makes a zip for you to download more RAM first, that's required for running the wide feature.

i figure it a hardware thing,ok cool thanks
i know the wide feature is a hardware related, but how about the shutter speed and ISO? we can still uses that if we able to port the G5 camera app to this phone right?
pro mode in s7 is nothing compared to what manual mode in G4, so i guess the manual mode in G5 will be much better if somebody can port it, right?
thank you

You can change shutter speed and ISO in the S7 camera app in pro mode.

i know that, but it maxed out at 800 instead of 2700 and 10s instead 30s compared to G4, and i dont like the user interface too. scrolling the settings are much harder compared to G4, its like tiny scrolling using scrollbar instead of mouse roll

My Galaxy S7 camera is very bad, is it refurbished or clone ?

I bought a galaxy s7 from a local shop without any sort of warranty , i checked with iemi ,benchmark app,everything seems ok
but my camera images are very bad quality, cant zoom a little,picture gets blurred,also objects in the image are also discolored/over colored, can anyone post their indoor,low light,daylight ORIGINAL resolution photos ? so that i can check or test mine ?

Doesn't sound right as the camera should be blowing you away and is probably the best thing about the phone.
Check this app for info and manufacturing date. It should still be under some type of hardware warranty with Samsung as it's under a year old.

Not sure if you looked in the camera thread below for original quality photos. Definitely sounds like there is something faulty though.

Can you take some more portrait mode picture samples? This are not very good compositions.
The Coke can does not have enough depth in the background and the wall is just plain. Try something else and line it up straight instead of top-down.
Thanks!
looks like **** still.
I snapped this one this am. Looks pretty darn good to me and it's even in a low light condition!!
Edit: for some reason the picture isn't showing up
A bush
A few more
Here's mine
Some people cannot be pleased, no matter what.
These photos are great and just fine, but if you're the sort of person hell bent of crapping on the PH-1 no matter what, then nothing from this phone's camera is going to placate you.
It's really getting boring at this time, all the hee-haw about the camera..
What does the slider on the bottom of Portrait Mode control? The bokeh/blurring effect?

from what i gathered yes but the lighting control is sort of a manual exposure control. used it with the moto x pure and it came out fantastic
To me these photos look plenty good. I am comparing them with the likes of note 7 and op3.

It is an app update through the play store.

Can you edit the intesity of the blur in portrait mode?

And if so, can you do it later?
Doubtful as that is in the post processing I believe. The reason people are looking for the Gcam port, or they would just adjust the current camera software.
Being a post-process is exactly why you should be able to do whatever you want woth the background. So is it a yes or a no? Can you do it with stock camera?
Actually I meant that it's done in the OnePlus algorithms. Meaning you'd have to be a camera expert to even know what does what. It's not like taking an APK and porting it. You'd have to rewrite it or know what to rewrite. At least this is what I'd expect

If I'm right its not possible with the current stock camera app
But if Oneplus tries and puts some effort on camera app ,they can
I really wish we could shoot in RAW format in portrait mode, does anyone know if that is possible? Or is it with the Gcam mod?

Wow, that's...that's game breaking for me honestly. I heard amazing things about OnePlus (5t and 6), especially in terms of gaming performance, and i was really looking into buying one (plus 6 ) in the near future. But i love taking pics in weekends and holidays and edit them later to my leisure.
I'm keeping my eyes on news of some update that fixes this limitation that shouldn't exist in the first place

If you're that worried about raw, you should be shooting with a dslr camera. These are point and shoot that has been given a manual mode but these are still not a replacement for a regular dslr.

I agree DSLR is best but it would be nice still if we could shoot raw format pictures in portrait mode still, I mean why do they give us portrait mode but can't do much post processing with it?

To me since I am a photography enthusiast (fairly serious) that the portrait mode is still just for quick snaps to give a more focus point of view on the subject, not for wedding photos and such. I get your point you still want to maybe do some editing. But I guess my point is if you like the phone for enough to want to buy it and raw photo editing is a thing, it sees that the OP should have looked for that from the beginning and not be shocked it's missing that feature 3 months after release in a forum post. Just my opinion
