Hi guys new to Samsung after many years aways (my last true Samsung usage was a Galaxy S2. I bought a s20 plus but didn't get on with it at all)
I have a snapdragon s22 ultra and am getting used to the ai hdr applied to photos. Obviously very different to Huawei (who I feel still have the upper hand) but I've picked up some issues of reflections and highlights being cast blue or purple and it's very unfortunate.
Anyone else seen this? I think Samsung have some work to do, in the same vein as the sports mode or shutter priority mode to avoid blurry photos of our kids or pets.

Thank you have tried but doesn't fix it. I think the ai is misreading scenes and applying the effect to reflections and brighter white colours
you could try using pro mode, i know it doesnt fix the problem at its core but would help you take better pictures

Appreciate the assistance. My only gripe with Pro mode is upping shutter speed alone still leaves you with shoddy looking but less blurry images in lower light situations. The huaweis show just how much images are fixed in post using ai - their Pro mode on the mate 40 Pro produces barely usable images as the chromatic aberration and noise just goes mad
do you know your way around android, you could try extracting or finding a huawei camera apk, signing it, and try to install it on your device, may not work, but it may also with some manipulation, wont do any harm to try

Yeah I'm into tech but not that inclined. I'm just hoping Samsung makes some changes to benefit all
I get this type of image with nightmode on ultrawide lens, check the red patch around the yellow night bulb,i think there scene optimiser is not working properly in some instances, when I use pro mode or extra raw app this doesn't show even with dialling same settings as nightmode image

When I fist open my camera application to take a picture, I notice that object is in focus. Within a second, you can here the camera focus and the shot is completely out of focus. Touching the screen to re-focus does nothing. The only thing in focus are object 1-2 inches from the camera lens. If you hold it up to take a picture of the room for example it always stays way out of focus.
I've tried different camera applications, a factory reset, and every mode and setting I could find. Last night I got Jelly Bean and it still sets the focal length at the minimum focus. Have any of you had this issue?
I am preparing to send it back to Amazon Wireless for a warranty replacement, but they won't send me a new phone until they receive this one. I really don't want to be without it while things are getting shipped around.
Thanks for your help and any idea.

I have the same issue... I think its just crap low light performance, swapping it out will not help.

It does the same thing outside too. I can open the camera app while pointing it at my car. After about 1 second the camera focuses to the shortest focal length and the image is out of focus. Touching the screen pops up the auto-focus box, and after a second it turns green, but the image never changes focus.

Do you get the same issue with the screen-side camera as well? Might help narrow down software vs hardware issue.
Also, with regard to the low light theory, have you taken the phones suggestion, if that is the case, to switch to HDR mode and see if it likes that any better?
To follow up...
I returned my phone to Amazon. They replaced it within a few days. Now I've got a phone that will actually focus!
Now if they could fix the quality of low light pictures...

Good day Sirs
I would just like to ask if there are any of you guys that has encountered this issue/bug on s8+'s back camera using Pro mode and high shutter speed settings (as you move the shutter speed to high)
the issue usually presents itself when I go to Pro mode and use high shutter speed settings which is 1/500 and up and usually indoors
got to test this on two demo units and only 1 also has this
could you any of you guys post your images with the said settings or if you guys had it replicated...
the issue/bug is already right there at the preview screen
so what you see on my images is also what i see on my screen... the only difference is the dark lines are moving sideways on the preview screen
please help me on this Sirs
will bring my unit at the service center this weekend
btw, I have the S8+ exynos version
here are the shots

I just visited Samsung Service Center this weekend and they have replicated the issue on one of their demo units and told me that they will forward myconcern in their main office...
And hopefully could hear from them ASAP...
Any of you guys has replicated this bug/issue?
I think its a normal limitation isn't it? Light level is probably too low which is why its more prevelant indoors as well. I'd venture to say all of the s8's do this (including mine). Don't panic mate. Just enjoy the phone.

been doing that since day 1... hehehe! thanks! all i'm thinking right now is that I'm not gonna use that setting indoors or in low-light anyways
Looks like a pattern very typical of fluorescent lighting + fast shutter speed - I think it's called "banding". Pretty sure I can see flouro lights in a reflection in a couple of photos. Find a constant/non-flickering light source like an incandescent bulb and try it. Notice how it isn't doing it on your laptop display?
Your camera is not faulty and it is not a bug.
50/60 Hz flickering?
My bad, the last two posters are correct. I think that's exactly what the problem is. The banding is caused by the frequency of the lights.
Yup, I but these pics are all being taken under fluorescent lighting.
Hi, i have problem with camera on low light. Phone is new and im use him maybe 3-4 day...

Did you try the suggestion of using Pro mode and change the [AWB] level to manual and adjust the slider until you find the correct white balance?
its always hard to compensate warm yellow lights. You have to understand how photogrpahy and your eyes are working. And other thing is that the new sensor on P30/P30 pro uses an RYYB filter instead of RGGB. SO even harder to conpensate the colour temperature.
thzere are tons of articles about colour temperature, compensationa, RYYB filter array on camera chip etc.

yes but there seems to be no help with such lighting ... it's stupid how much the phone costs without having this kind of problem ... the first time i encountered this problem ... i used samsung before and it wasn't like this so now this is new ... except for this problem and the worse sound of a really great phone ..
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this, I quite often make pictures with my front cam and the camera is such a downgrade from my 4 year old Xiaomi Mix 3! The colour balance is all off, almost like they forgot to make a profile for the front cam.
The back camera is just fine, but the front camera often looks like a $20 toy camera just because of this terrible colour balance. I can fix most of my selfies in Google Photos by using a combination of adding warmth (Colour Balance) and adding saturation which makes them look just fine.
For a phone this expensive... this shouldn't be needed. I'd say most mid-level phones even make better selfies then this.
I've tried cleaning the lens but this makes no difference, the Samsung camera app just fails to properly process the colours in the front camera's images.
Because I apparently don't value my privacy, here is a picture as taken by the Samsung camera, and the same picture after adding warmth and saturation.
The original image makes me look lifeless with the skin being very pale, like a zombie almost. It was a nice and sunny day, why do I look like I'm 10 seconds away from my death?

Anyone else with this issue? Does a modded version of the Samsung camera exist with the possibility to manually define post-processing settings? I just need to have it add more saturation and offset the colour balance
I'm searching for a solution myself, google's Gcam camera is great but I can't find a way to make it use the front camera. I'll be back if I find a way..

I've searched high and wide for a way to make another camera app the default one to get a better front camera selfie (even by disabling Samsung camera) but it seems like the cover screen and Samsung camera are intertwined and cannot be separated.
What we really need is a developer to have a look at the system framework or whatnot and see if something can be done to change the default camera, but they (developers) are a rare breed nowadays.
But on the bright side, if they ever do a remake of the movie weekend at Bernie's I'm pretty sure they'd offer you a part with photos like that..!
I just got T6R Max today and the built-in apps (Netflix, Prime, etc.) are showing way too bad image quality. I connected it to my pc and made some comparisons and pc was way better. However, still I don't think I am getting HDR image and it actually looks horrible.
It says SDR at the top left. There is an option called HDMI 2.0 and there are ''On'' ''Off'' ''Auto'' options. Can somebody explain what this option is for? My HDMI cable is KabelDirekt HDMI 2.0 18Gbit/s.
I don't know if it's supposed to show it but I can see ''No HDR'' in windows as well.
Here, I tried to show the difference. The first one is my PC monitor. The second one is T6R Max. You can see there is no detail whatsoever in the second photo. Darks are so dark. The colors are idk what to say... I tried to tweak the image a bit with the projection's options but it won't help.

I just downloaded an HDR film and put it in a usb. Tried to open it that way directly in the projector's OS. The difference is big. It is way better than what I am getting from my pc. However, I am still not sure If I am getting HDR10 content. I am a bit lost here.
1- How can I see If it is really showing HDR10?
2- Why can't I get HDR from my PC?
Edit - Day 2:
I bought Amazon Fire Sticks 4k Max today. There are good display options in that. Finally, I can see HDR text when I open it at the top left corner. However, the problem with blacks and colors is still there. So this is my conclusion: I think even though the projector supports HDR, its brightness (550 ANSI lumen) is not enough for HDR content. That is why there are no details in blacks and colors are not there. I chose adaptive HDR in the display setting and with a little bit of tweak I can see more now. There is an image quality loss, however.
But I think this is what you get with this price range I guess. If there is a way that I can improve the quality please let me know.
