Well, my problem is that if I take photo without flash I dont see almoast anything...
If I use flash or auto-flash then the center of the photo is...like taking the photo of the flash itself...photo is useless...
The problem is only in the dark...
My question is...what settings do I have to change to what so that flash would not be so powerful?
Thanks

Lately I noticed that the camera on my HD2 is struggling to take sharp pictures.
The area of focus is sharp but the rest of the pictures is not...
In the settings I have seen that the metering mode is set to spot but I cannot change it, its greyed out...
Is there a software upgrade/fix for or do I have to flash a complete rom or is it just a case of finger trouble, if so please explain how I can solve this issue...
Look at the picture and you will see what I mean...
this would be caused by the camera using a large aperture, not sure if theres anyway to control it cause the hd2 doesnt have an option for this setting.
A smaller aperture would be what you want to have everything in your photo in focus.
I have been looking to pictures taken by the HD2 6 months ago and those pictures are actually quite OK. Looks like my camera is slowly failing as I have not changed any setting...
Well if nobody has any tips I guess thats will be the end of my HD2, as this whas the main reason of buying the HD2 to have a descent camera with me all the time. As this phone also struggles with a weak gsm/radio reception I dont see any reason of keeping it...

under the settings in camera, turn Touch Focus OFF - this will let you choose your meetering option. I haven't tested it, as I'm happy with the way my camera takes pictures, regardless of aperture and whatnot.
as above then choose average for metering mode
My OP is here:

"I don't take pictures often, but my Samsung Omnia 7 seems to take very very bad pictures.
This is both indoors and outdoors, both with flash on and off.
Most picutres I take, it looks like they are out of focus, or if I'm shaking, which I'm not.
(edit: at the bottom of the post you can scroll to the right to see the rest of the pics)
Sometimes the pictures are ok, let's start with one which isn't too bad:"
See the link for the pics.
Other ppl have the same problem?
My pictures come out quite well with the Omnia 7..Not amazing (in comparison with high end digital cameras) - but very good for a smart phone.
Reading that topic - did you at all try the half press autofocus? You MUST do this with every shot if you want precise, blur-free pictures else I'm afraid you are going to come out with the pictures you've presented.
However if the pictures occur at the same quality whilst autofocusing - then there is a definite defect in the camera and would get the phone replaced under warranty (if valid) or attempt to clean the camera lens.
No, didn't half press on any of them Didn't knew I had to to focus..
hehe ... another question ... is it possible to save the camera settings? When I record videos i always have to switch vom vga to 720p hd recording again ... all changed settings are on stock again when i restart the camera app
Sadly, you won't be able to save any camera settings.
This is very annoying - Always having to set up the camera again prevents me from taking snapshots spontaneously.

I never need to change any of the settings - they're fine for quick snapshots. When you need to play around with contrast, white balance, marcro, etc, it's no longer a quick snapshot!
As has been discussed in this thread, it's 100% evident that your pictures are poor because you haven't half pressed the shutter button to focus first.
Just hold the button lightly until a rectangle box appears. That's your focus box and it should be evident when it's focused on what you want. You'll also hear a sound from the device that it's focused.
Without releasing your finger, push down fully on the shutter button to take the focused photo.
If you simply push down like you have been, it's not giving the camera a chance to focus and you'll get blurring.
I'm sure you understand already by the post I saw, just making sure I can double make sure you understand.
Happy shooting!

There's an Anti Shake feature on the Omnia (I say Omnia because it wasn't there on the HD7) I'd like to enable permanently but it always goes back to off when you restart the app.
(Just a suggestion as to why someone would want to change the settings)
My problem is not exactly bad quality, but has anyone else notice that there is a red/pink area in the middle, when you take a pic from a white/light color?

Yes, I get that pink area too. I believe it's a fairly common issue with phone cameras, and I also had it with my previous phone (HTC HD2).

I also have the pink spot on mine and it's still there after the update... hope they will fix it with the "NoDo" update =P
I have googled this issue many times but i seem to be the only person having this problem.
I have an LG E900 and i think its a great phone. Has great apps etc etc and i like to wp7 os.
However, i regularly need to take close up images of small parts for work and it seems i can never get the photo right or the camera seems to have a mind of its own.
I had an iphone 3gs before this - i checked the specs and the LG camera is technically superior - but i never had any issues like this.
Whenever i go to take a photo the camera focuses in on the part, so it looks perfect on screen and then does one of the following.
1 - Flashes and i get a nice white screen
2 - Takes the picture with no flash and i get a black screen
3 - Goes to take the photo and then doesn't.??
4 - Perfectly focused image on screen and then sits there, i go to re-take and it takes the picture quick, giving me a blur.
Sometimes it may take me up to 25 tries before i get a usable image.
Really starting to piss me off, such a pity as when it gets it right, its perfect.
Then some joker walks up behind me with a nokia 5110 and takes a pic, no problem..Grrr - what am i doing wrong??
It doesnt save your settings either - another gripe for another thread
I don't have any issue taking close up pictures, if it's too dark it will use the flash, if it's light enough, it won't.
Works fine for me
The LG camera IS poor!!!
Here are a few hints to get a better image. Due to WP7 not keeping your camera settings, you need to set them every time you start the Camera app.
1- Use the the Intelligent Shot options (Smart Scene does a fairly good job) to adjust to your environment,
2- Do not use Beauty Shot unless you are taking photos of people, it doesn't make the photos pretty.
3- There is an Anti Shake option at the end of the camera settings menu...It is basically a software image stabilizer, and works very well.
4- Don't let the phone decide whether to use the flash or not, and set it yourself for sensitive photographs. Brightness settings also help when played around with ( you have to figure out which settings work best in what conditions on your own)
5- Always, ALWAYS semi-press the camera button to let the phone focus and get the white balance...otherwise your photos will look like crap...then take a picture...you need to do this every time.
I sometimes have to "scan" documents and writings on the spot, so with these things kept in mind, you can take fairly decent photographs.
Also, I have done a bit of modification to make the flash better...In my opinion, it is too white. I took a very transparent yellow plastic, and cut it to exact size...it fits in well on the top of the flash (since it is slightly in the phone, rather than flat), and my photos now seem a lot warmer...
I do wish the camera was a bit sharper and had better lowlight performance of course...
PS: And obviously nothing compares to Nokia phones' cameras...well, except the iPhone in some cases...
My phone fell down on floor few week ago and from that day my photos are pink/purple. When I start camera it show picture ok for few milliseconds and turn to pink/purple. Also when I take photo I hear some noise in camera and photo is all pink/purple. But when I take photo with flash I got photo with texuture but its pinkish. Same as with video camera. These two are takken on same location with flash and no flash.
Do you know solution for my problem. I changed few roms and problem stays.
Shoul I change hardware?
What part should I change?
Whole camera or just this square camera module?
Or any other solution...
I think it s a fault of the camera itself...You can start opening the hd2,it s very sinple to reach the camera,you have only to take off 4 screws,and controll the little cable that go to the motherboad,and take off and reinsert the camera module.If you need the camera you can contact me in pm,I have one working from a faulty hd2,and I can give it to you for really cheap.
OK thanks on answer. I already opened HD2 so its not to complicated for me. I can change parts. The problem is I dont know which parts do I need to change. So you are saying that I need to change only camera module. This one on photo bellow is camera module? Am i right?
So I ordered this camera module online..Hope that will fix the problem!
It seems that this is rare problem with camera.
IS there Anyone else that knows solution to this problem?
Grateful
Hello
I just get a LG G2 F320L, but for three days I noticed a few things that do not work:
the camera or the rear camera; his makes me fuzzy images, even when I want to film a video, the video shakes, even if I want to take a picture, the rear camera shakes alone, I tried to lower ISO, quality, mode, but not many changes, when I'm close to the subject or the object that I want to photograph, his pass! but when he is away, it is a problem (if the images are attached)
Here are some pictures when I take a picture of something that is near

when I take a picture that is a bit far, I notice that tremble as if the lens

brief when I want to shoot a picture normally I find great difficulty, although the green rectangles appear, the picture is blurred, as if the lens vibrates
Up plz

Looks like a hardware defect or Parkinson's. Maybe you could try taking a picture using a stand/table and place the phone carefully against something like a book to take a perfectly still picture?
I tried what you said but the camera shakes alone,

I bought f320k model from aliexpres and I have the same problem. I had before d802 and camera has been much much better.
I had the fuzzy and shaked pictures problem too, but I figured that the problem is the magnet of the speaker... The camera has its own magnets to control the lens, but the speaker magnet is very close, so this "interference" causes that the camera dont focuses properly... My fix was put a layer between the camera module and the speaker, and now the camera works like new!
