Hi Guys,
Yesterday I wanted to record some videos, I opened camera software, pressed to switch between front a rear camera, then I heard this clicking noise.
From now, this noise is always when I turn rear camera on, or switching from front to rear, also I can feel that something is moving inside when I touch rear camera cover, it's like the aperture would be opening and closing and making that noise.
It's noting serous, everything is working, camera is working fine, tablet is ok as well.
Does anyone has experienced this as well?
What do you reckon, should I bringing back to the store and get a new one?
Waiting for your thoughts on this.
thx
I also noticed it, but with me it sounds more like the shutter (for as far as it is present) opening, just like with a normal camera. Unless you here something rattling near the camera when you shake your TF, I wouldn't make a big problem out of it.
It's an annoying noise, but it's normal. You'll just have to live with it.
ELTinos , you are right , it sounds more like the shutter, I can also hear it when I put tablet back to live after sleep mode when camera software is running.
it's not that annoying but I am concern that this is something that came up just now, I tested camera before and didn't get that noise but if you guys are saying that's normal, then I am calm.
Any more thoughts on this?
Sounds normal to me. My HTC Hero had this from the beginning... Camera is still working after 1,5 years so I don't think you need to worry
Thanks flight777
Just more info, to be more clear on this:
-Clicking Noise doesn't come from speakers
-It's only when I switch back from front camera to rear camera, also when in the rear camera mode, switching between : taking picture <-> record videos
If you could test it as well on your TF
thx Guys , appreciate your responses
It is rear camera's autofocus (solenoid moving lense). It can be also heard while turning on from coplete off.

As been said before, it's just the shutter lens, stop making a big deal out of it.
Rear clicking noise too
yeah, mine just started clicking today...after 2 years with the nexus one.
i can see the lens pulsing when the clicking occurs.
hmmm....

You talking about the N1 or the TF?
Does anyone experience a pixelated picture when using the stock camera in a low light setting? I find it kind of annoying. The picture during the daytime is great but as it gets darker.... doesn't do so well. Is there a fix for it? Does anyone know if the camera mod fixes this issue??
try adjusting the ISO settings in the camera app. This is mostly a limitation of the camera sensor on smart phones.
it's still pretty pixelated. I'm guessing there's not much more you can do about it since it's a hardware limitation?

can you take some picture and upload them im gonna do the same and beside i have noticed the same thing. to me it look like the screen is burning and the pixels are shining very bright which make the screen look crap and beside can you try some different camera app from market. try pudding camera the screen look way better than stock.
this picture i took around 2- 3
have a look
At first i thought something was broken inside my brand now S6 but apparently its the OIS of the camera. When the camera is inactive the OIS is loose and when shaking the phone fast it makes a (clicking) sound. When I activated the camera the sound was gone no matter how hard I would shake the phone. I hope thats how the phone is made and I don't have a defective unit. Please let me know if anyone else has noticed that. Thanks.
As far as I know, every phone with OIS will make this noise to a certain extent. On some phones it is more easy to hear, on others its harder, but it is still there nevertheless. No need to worry about it.

Thanks man. I had a Note 4 before and never noticed that.
All phones make noise if you shake it even if it doesnt have OIS its usually the autofocusing mechanism.
That's normal for cameras with the OIS. I'm not sure how they exactly work in smartphones, but my Olympus OM-D for example uses a magnetic field for the 5-axis sensor stabilization. So once the camera is turned on the sensor is basically floating in a magnetic field, and when it's turned off it's "loose" - that's where the noise comes from. Nothing to worry about, it's normal.

Yep, I just tested my S6, and if the camera is on, there is definitely less clicking sounds coming from the camera when you shake it.
iPhone 6+ does not makes that sound.

In daily usage you usually don't really notice it. It's not that loud and takes a bit of shaking. Otherwise they might keep the VCM powered up all the time, but that would be a waste of battery life.
I was freaking out.. Thank you!

I have a s6 that only makes noises when camera app is open.
A sound of moving parts like and sale camera focusing.
If the app is open if if I tap near the camera I can always reproduce the sound.
What could it be. I have an defective phone?

Mine does the clicking sound when off and sometimes when you open the camera app, the OIS mechanism start to shake until obtains focus, kinda scary, I think is showing signs of something malfunctioning .
Yes that is what happens to me.
It's not a good sign. I don't know what to do and if it is normal

Yes. I am getting the clicking sound when opening the cam app as well. Camera works fine afterwards though. How can it be fixed?
This is normal. It's the OIS elements of the rear camera shaking around when electronically deactivated.
This is not a fault and is part of the normal operation of a mobile OIS camera.
Once activated it shouldn't audibly shake. It's operation is similar to most stabilization gimbles when unpowered.

Thanks for the reply but is it also normal that the OIS mechanism shakes until focus is obtained after starting the camera app?
The clicking sound is also present in my S6 with the camera app off. Turning it on romoves the clicking sound.

Normal, all OIS systems (even those in my $3000 lenses) rattle a little when not powered (and make a faint noise when operating in the case of the lenses).
I'm also experiencing the OIS shake upon opening the camera app on my s6. It's done it twice today - I open the camera app and the image shows blurry as it struggles to focus, the lens shakes quite vigorously, making the phone vibrate, it makes a loud clicking noise and the image shakes, firstly for around 10 secs, then around 5 secs the 2nd time it happened. It's happened in both Samsung camera and Snapchat.
Running French OTA 5.1.1 on S6.
Anyone else having this? Is this usual behaviour or a sign of a defective unit?
Anyone else having this issue? I'm getting the OIS shake nearly every time I open the camera app now...

Anybody getting a constant flow of lines going across their camera? I'm experiencing this with rear and front camera. Really not impressed
I am not experiencing anything like that.

No
I only get it in low light conditions... Might be my energy saving light bulbs, now that I think about it lol.
I do get the lines, but not in the final picture, only in the screen in the camera app.

Does it kinda look like an old CRT monitor when recorded with a video camera? I kinda suspect it may have something to do with the manufacturing origin / intended country of sale for your phone and the region in which you are using it. Here's an interesting video on why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzP8FFKpwQ0 forgive me if I've misunderstood what's going on.
I get lines sometimes. Usually when near fluorescent light sources, or looking at a TV screen. Don't forget these sources run at certain frequencies, UK electricity for example is 50Hz, so fluorescent tubes are flickering at that frequency, same with TV's. Basically.
The lines on my screen don't seem to translate into the final images, or the image enhancement removes them.
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.
