I have issues with the focus when recording videos indoors even when lights are on, outside in daylight I don't have such issue. When I point it on my arm and start recording, it gets all blurry and have trouble focusing even when I'm clicking on the screen so it can focus at the specific area. When I use pro mode and manually focus then everything is alright but that can't be the solution as I'll have to adjust it all the time.
I installed "open camera" and it works great so I don't know what could be wrong with the stock app.
Thanks.

Hi I just logged in because I have the same question. It happens to me when I record in FHD 60fps. It seems to have some filter applied and the blurry effect is so annoying.

In 1080p60fps is much worse and it kinda turns yellowish too. I don't think it's a filter cause outside in daylight its perfect.

Yeah it's true, just tried Open camera as you did and it works great. I can't find any similiar issue on web. I hope it's a software problem so it can be fixed with an update.

Stock app with flash works too, hopefully more S7 users will comment and tell us if they face the same problem or not.
Anyone?
Bump
Yes i just noticed this as well
This is a known issue with 60fps recording on s7. Phone can't focus correctly while video recording in 60fps. It's there from day one so I doubt it will change in the future.

I am using Moto X Play updated to latest Android 6.0.1.
I bought a wired selfie stick which works when we plug it in the audio jack and click photos with the button on selfie stick. I am not able to click any photos with the selfie stick in my Moto X Play. By searching I found changing camera settings to make volume buttons as camera shutter will help. But Motorola Camera app doesn't have any such settings window. But as I checked clicking volume buttons clicks photos, also as I connected earphones and clicked its button the camera clicks photos. I don't think the selfie stick is faulty as it is working with other phones flawlessly (I checked it on Micromax and Xiaomi phones and it works). I am quite shocked to see that earphones button is clicking the photos but the selfie stick is not. If anyone tried any selfie stick or know anything please reply.

Yeah, I tried pushing it to the max, but no use. I tried using it on some other phones as have I mentioned and it's working fine with them. Did you got success using MXP with wired Selfie Stick??
It's a common moto problem. You'll have to use a camera app called 'woofie' or just use moto voice.

I am using Moto x play....i fix selfie stick to take selfie....but when i selfie stick button...its goes to listen and say ok Google tap mic....pls help me
I returned my selfie stick and bought another from local store after testing it. Working fine now. Thank you all for answers.
If you wonder why this is happening (Google search instead of taking picture) here is a solution:
There are few types of jacks, moto x play needs this with 13mm long (15mm is too long and can't be plugged in). Usually the chippest sticks have longer jack connector
Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Its good to be here.
So, I just installed camera fv 5 lite and the problem is that the shutter speed goes to a maximum of 1/11 secs. I was reading another guys tutorial and his one plusone could go to 64 seconds! He mite have had the paid version but still even in the light version it shouldn't be this low! I am confused why this is happening!
Please can someone give me a fix for this especially those of you familiar with camera fv 5. Or another app that allows to set exposure, shutter speed etc which works on xperia xz. Hope some of you guys can help me out.
Have a great day.
I've tried several 3rd party camera apps, even paid versions, including the paid version of FV-5 and none of them would offer a slower shutter speed than 1/10 second. I believe that is the slowest that Sony surfaces through the api to other apps.
Also none of the other apps allow any higher resolution than 8MP.
Lastly, I couldn't get FV-5 to even work on my XZ. I could take a couple of photos then the app appears to lock up. The circle in the center keeps spinning like it can't obtain focus.

Thanks for your reply, Fred! That is sad news though. I also tried several 3rd party apps (bought one too) but as you said, the shutter speed does not go below 1/10s. I wonder if you can root your device and fiddle around to change it from there or is it more of a hardware issue (kind of a noob when it comes to these things). The thing is I was reading an article where this guy used his OnePlus One to take epic milky way pictures just using his phone, fv 5 and a tripod. His phone and fv 5 allowed him a 64 second shutter speed! The results were unbelievable. I though to myself an Xperia XZ with such a great camera would do wonders but apparently not
BTW Fred, the issue you told me regarding fv 5 (spinning), it happened to me too but I think I just was not keeping the phone steady. When I kept the phone steady it would circle around, turn green, and take the picture (but I have a feeling your problem might be different). Just trying to help you out.
Thanks again man.
I hope there is some fix/hack out there that can reduce the shutter speed to at least 30-40 seconds. Samsung S7 has a 10 second shutter speed!

I'm not sure if there will be a way to get a very long shutter speed. The Sony camera app jas a max of only 1 sec., which, to me, is still very fast. Other phones that i have allow up to about 30 secs max shutter speed.
I should add that the problem i observed with FV-5 only occurs when I take the app out of auto mode, specifically go to shutter priority. Happens even in strong sunlight. I just downloaded and tried it agaik, since i got the android 7.1.1 update last night. Same problem, no change

Camera fv 5 is the worst for manual control for Sony devices in my opinion. I Advice snap camera hdr. There you can use manual controls at full resolution and some extra things. But shutter speed same.

The camera takes great still shots, but even the smallest amount of movement results in terrible blur. Is this normal?
I just cleared the camera data do I'm shooting on default settings.
Here's a picture of my child simply smiling and jabbering to me. Is this normal?
Id say if I take 10 pictures of her, only 1 is clear (caught betwen normal bodily twitches and stuff)
With this camera like this it'd be near impossible taking pictures of my dog unless it was sleeping. Is this your experience as well?
Are their pro settings that make it better?
Yes because no OIS ?

I knew some people from our group that uses Huawei GR5 2017 (Honor 6x) and they have observed that the quality of the front camera (in photos and videos) are a bit grainy (or maybe too bright to be true). Build number is on B370. Anyone experienced this? Or any workaround? Thanks.

Disable the beauty mode and it should be bit better. This over exposed thing has been notified to honor officials and they said they will inform their R&D to resolve this
The issue was not limited to the images taken using the front camera. It includes the video quality of the front camera - which doesn't have a Beauty mode.
They received an update just now, but it is just limited to security patches and voLTE and they've advised me that there was no fix on the camera that came with it.
Hello ever since I updated to B370, the star track mode is not working for me anymore. Everytime i try to capture, it will all became white (overexposed). It used to be good when I was in B360. What could have happen? Or what could i do to fix it?

This phones 48mpx camera shutter speed is too low, you can not take bust shots, for bust you need to change to 12mpx which is annoying.
I personally dispontted from this, Also brightness is a big issues in outdoors, im also using honor 8pro and outdoor i use 50% to 60% brightness. And for tbis phonr brightness level is 96% huge difference between brands.
During calls suddenly u r not able to hear voice of other person,just for a freakction of time.

You shouldn't ever change it to 48 mp unless you intentionally either want to take worse photos or if you just like large numbers. It's 12 mp by default for a reason.
Set the phone to auto brightness for the highest possible brightness. If the brightness level is fine at 96% then what is the problem?
The display tests I've seen put them both in the 450-550 nits range so the maximum brightness shouldn't be all that different.
The last part sounds like reception issues. From what I've heard the antennas aren't exactly the best so that's something any buyer has to live with or hope Asus sends out an update that can alleviate the problem although I don't expect that to happen.

I never said it was a good buy.
There was no long speech; where did that come from? It was a simple response to your issues or rather (mostly) non-issues.
What's the major problem exactly? The only real problem was the signal reception but it also sounds like it's intermittent.

And neither of them has 48 MP camera. It takes longer to process and save 48 MP pictures due to large file size, that's why burst mode is not possible. I'd suggest you to do some research about it.

So you just wanted people to agree?
Megapixels don't really matter. A lot of things go into making a good camera. However that wasn't the original issue. You complained about taking photos at 48 megapixels being slow. You've been told two things in regards to that:
1) set it to the default 12 mp because that's what it was made to do; it's meant to do pixel binning for the best quality and speed.
2) large megapixel counts require more data meaning it's slower. That's how it's meant to be.
In short: there is little to no reason to take pictures at 48 mp.
Sorry for a bit of offtopic (ignoring OP's "problems") but what's wrong with antennas? I had a Galaxy S4 and that was a nightmare in terms of cellular connectivity. If there are problems with calling, do they affect network connectivity in any way?
In my Zenfone 6 the flip camera while working in main camera in 48 MP tends to stop working either in selfie mode or rear camera mode whenever I flip. It's temperamental as sometimes main camera works only in Selfie mode then in rear camera mode it whites out the screen. Sometimes it works only in rear mode but in selfie mode it whites out. Can't make out what is the problem. Hopefully an upgrade will solve it.

For me, 4G with airtel network in India is giving 19Mbps download speed which is similar to s10+ where I get 18 to 19 Mbps.
I heard there are A, B and C modals of this device not sure if network issues exist in few type/modals.
167 new firmware released primarily to address camera and call quality issues.
OP can check if new firmware helps.

There was an update yesterday claiming to address the flip camera issue however my mobile camera continues to have the problem. From what I understand the image flipping creates the problem on my mobile. The main camera flips images on final position in selfie or rear camera mode & exactly at that point where the image correction is supposed to happen my screen whites out intermittently.
Can someone please help & advice.

Just wondering many claims here, I have been using 8 / 256 Gb model for few weeks now. Everything works just fine.
Asus camera is a good one. No need for GCam, but you can install it too (just like I did). Just install the latest arnova8G2 for Zenfone 6 (camera API2 is supported by Asus, so you need just install GCam).
I prefer usually Xiaomi phones, but I decided to chose this one instead of waiting Global K20 Pro. Just happy with my new Asus Zenfone 6.
After use of 1 month this phones camera works slow portrait mode woks slow one single picture takes 4sec to process which is very slow if we compare with one+, image process time is too slow of 6z
