Hey, can someone please help me with my camera? When taking pictures using the flashlight they always get this purple filter. This also happens with different photo apps (e.g. WhatsApp) or when recording videos.
Recording videos you see the purple effect on activating the flashlight. It quickly gets better but stays a pretty falsified.

The LED in the flash is not a constant enough light source and that invisible strobing is screwing up the cam.

That sounds a bit like works as intended. I hope the camera can do better, using the flashlight?! Or is this really the expected result?

Not completely unexpected. Try a incandescent light source.
Some LEDs modulate light differently. Other ones may you not get that effect. Fluorescent lights can do a similar thing.
I don't know... play with it.

Yeah, it works with a different (electric) light source. But I'd like the phone to work with it's own flashlight Anything I can try to make the phones flashlight work?

Try a different led flashlight. Try different brightness levels. Xenon flashlights use a filament.
Ask the manufacturer.
Try some different Google searches. It doesn't have to be the same make/model to apply.
So this is not a common issue with a P30? So its a warranty case?
Pulse width and otherwise modulated light sources can skew exposure, WB, and colors.
I've just tried the phones flashlight with my phone's camera and it works like a charm

It's the way the current of the flashlight is being pulse width modulated... not the cam. Some will work and some may not.
Sorry, but I really don't get your answers and recommendations. I thought this way I should check if the phones LED is broken. Since it works with other phones it obviously isn't. Or do you think they build in an LED that works with every camera sensor except then one they use in their phone?!
There are multiple things you can change. The first one might be the quality of the flashlight. Or it's bad, or you accidentally broke it without realizing it. Also, if you have a case, you should try to take some photos without it; maybe the reflection of the case is producing this violet filter. I am sure one of these two might be the problem in your case. Also, I broke my phone flashlight a while ago, and I have been using this led flashlight since then. This one is perfect if you need a solution fast and don't know what to do.
Just found the solution yesterday when changing the protective film: the preowner even but some protective film on the lens! This somehow obviously had issues with the LED flashlight. After removing it it's working now as intended

Seen some samples online. Anyone on here have any opinions on night shots with this phone since flash is absent? Does the "night mode" seem to help make the pictures barable...or perphaps does that do better justice than an LED flash would?
I tried "night mode" in my den yesterday with the tv on and just sunlight coming through the shades, it was worthless. The only thing that showed up on the picture was the tv screen while the rest of the picture was black.
Whats your opinon on the camera over-all. I just wish it had flash!

Yes, I wish it had a flash too. Overall I think the camera takes solid pictures, just has to be enough light. Its still just a cellphone camera, though, so dont get rid of your regular digital camera. But in a pinch it takes usable pics. It's better than the 2MP cam on my old iphone.
From pics that I've seen I think the iphone4 camera is the best out there, it has the largest opening that allows the most light in to the sensor. The Droid X also has a great cam, but I think the Galaxy S phones are just behind that one. So its a top 3 cell cam. This, of course, is just my honest opinion.
thanks
I have the samsung mythic now (touch screen feature phone) that has flash and it sometimes helps sometimes doesn't. Of course it's an LED flash so sometimes it makes the object just a big blob of light.

I think phones with LED Flashes / Xenon flashes are overrated. More often then not they lend to washing out the picture completely with a white shade over everything. Only thing I ever used my fuze flash for is a flashlight.
i think if you had a iphone before(not saying you did) those people might be able to live but people who didnt maybe not so much

What menu do you use to find night mode? I've browsed through all the menus on the camera, and none were titled 'night mode'

The TV might have been too bright, throwing off the light ratios. I would imagine that "night mode" just auto-magically adjusts the exposure based on an average of the light recorded. Try a picture in the same settings without the TV screen in the picture and see if it improves...
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the pics!! Night mode does seem to do pretty good!
Anyone knows of a night vision app that turns your camera into--well yeah, night vision mode. Or maybe a dev can make it? Would be cool to have on my phone instead of using the dual LED
In order for Night vision to work, I think you would need to have Infrared lights on the back of the phone for illumination. Night vision doesn't just "See" in the dark, it still needs illumination. It then takes the slight illumination from the infrared lights and enhances the detail. The EVO only has the 2 White LED's on the back, so I doubt Night vision would be possible.
I could be completely wrong about this though...
As a side note, Night vision would be cool....
What happens if you get a huge IR flood light and carried it around with you while you were shooting? How much would it work or help in low light situations? HmmmMm... I see a purchase of some random crap in my future.
Vignette has a night vision option. Although not true night vision. It just converts the pic into a night vision format. Here is an example.

your technichal answer is fully correct however maybe we can replace one of the white led's with an ir light. i know that one in my sony camera isnt much bigger than those led's ...just an idea though for the electronical savy ppl reading this...
and yes i would donate for a project like this that would be ****ing cool the first nightvision camera phone ever...are you serious its bound to make some revenue
You also need a camera lens that can detect IR light... I don't believe that every camera can see it. You might wanna look into that first
Actually there are two types of IR. Active (using IR illumination otherwise known as "painting the target"), and Passive (detecting the objects heat signature).
Most cameras use Active IR (red LEDS). Mostly seen on camcorders, and low end night vision (GEN1/2). Passive is Gen3 night vision. Expensive CCD. Mainly high end hunting scopes, and military optics (FLIR).
Most digital camera ccd's are capable of picking up infrared. You can see this by pointing a tv remote at the camera lens of your evo. It will show the IR illumination of the remote but if you try to use it to take a picture you will not get very good results. Using a large IR illuminator may improve your results but i dont think you want to carry around a large illuminator for pictures. While it would be cool, its just not practical.

That is just so awesome. Thank you for sharing that piece of information. Doubting that it would work, I aimed my remote at my Evo and was rewarded with two glowing purple/white dots.
The more you know...
All this time I was under the impression that it does work, I mean when you touch the screen it moves the brackets, turns them green and appears to refocus.
I did a very simple test and it seems it's not doing anything. I placed two objects, one in front of the other at different distances from the camera. The result is wherever you touch the screen, trying to focus on the object in the background, it always focuses on the foreground object.
Is this something you can confirm? Is it something rom related or is it a hardware issue?

Yes, it works. IIRC, you need a ROM that supports it to enable touch to focus.
Here's a pic I took now:
Pretty much just helps what it should focus on than focusing on the item that's in the middle. Since you have such limited control of the camera lens, you obviously won't get much control on the depth of field like what you would see with SLR's
That's great and all but in both of those shots the foreground is in focus, which is what I always get. But say I wanted to focus on the little red car in the background (2nd picture) it could never focus.
Can you take the same picture where that red car is in focus and the bottle (?) is out of focus?

It works when I am focusing on the background and not foreground like what you were asking for. However I dont have time now to search for a picture as an example.

I agree with the OP, I have placed an object about 5cm from the camera and have the background at about half a meter away. Without moving the camera, I cannot refocus on the foreground object and background object.
The above examples seem to prove otherwise but it would be more evident if each shot was taken at the EXACT angle and showing different focus.
For now, touch to focus seems to act has normal focus ...

Yeah... for me it only ever focuses on the object in front...

Can any other members confirm if Touch to Focus is working?
I've currently tested on my ROM (CM9 v3.4).
Yeah for some odd reason, my camera will not even focus..
Hi,
My Moto G Camera is not ok.
I take photos in Red with the flash on, with the flash off the photos is ok.
I think it is a delay between the shutter and flash.
They think might be causing this problem?
Thanks

Are you using a red protectioncover on the back. If this is the case than the flash causes a reflection of the colored backside.

Is very bad..
Not sure what could cause this.
I am not really using my camera that much but I haven't noticed this kind of issue.
Someone may try to take pictures with flash?
I think it is almost normal if the photo was taken in complete darkness

M also facing the same issue from start of using this phone . i am in search of proper solution for this problem . Never noticed this red colour problem in any other phones with flash and having 5 mp camera.
Plz help
Yes, this problem is not affect all Moto G
Has anyone solved the problem of camera?
Tried using a different camera app and still have this issue. The picture is okay while it is in the view finder but as soon as I click the photo, it puts this red tint over the picture.
I've tried different applications, and the result is the same.
jaspreet997: I edited the photo and working, the redness disappeared.
But why take pictures appear with red shades?
It is possible to solve this?
I'm going to the Motorola care centre today to show them the issue. I'll report what happens.
It's all due to crappy software of camera.
The red tint comes only when you have flash on and you are clicking photos from distance less than 25cm. Try from a more distance or control focus and exposure and drag focus to a darker area, you'll get a clear photo.:good:
Is not possible to DEV create a mod or fix to improve camera?
@forgotter: My other Moto G does not have this problem. I ordered 2. One was for my friend. I noticed this problem after comparing the two.
Not everyone with the same problems, motorola should do something to solve the problem of camera.
@boaxfux : It's due to software indeed and the software is the automatic light adjustment. Well, I have no idea why your friend's phone doesn't have this. He must be a lucky guy.
The only way to get rid of this is to control focus&exposure by yourself. I'm on CM11 right now don't have the issue. But when I click pics from a close distance and, the phone focuses on a red object then the clicked pic have a reddish tint. I guess that's because from a close distance when flash lights, the object you're focusing on gets a light colour and so the auto adjustment turns the pic to that color to maintain the original colour.
That is all that I know.
More examples:
Turn the auto-flash OFF and try to take pics at day, not at night and in low light conditions, also try Focal, its a camera app on the play store and if im not mistaken i think its made by cyanogenmod, dunno
I try Focal, and is the same issue
Hi Everyone

Take a photo of something else.
My old S6 Edge had a defective sensor where a blue artefact would show up. Samsung replaced the camera module without a question under warranty.

If you aren't willing to take a photo of something else, I'm not willing to help you. Considering the fact that taking a photo of the LED on a keyboard isn't really the greatest way to test a camera and it's pretty stupid. If anything, in that photo, that's just the camera's incapability to adjust the exposure properly, which could be reduced by enabling HDR. Which is why we have HDR in the first place.

The lens is clean, I think it's due to f1.9 aperture
