I just noticed when I'm using the camera, it makes a high pitch sound. It sounds like its trying to focus and the motor is squeaking, the sound isn't constant it sounds like it only doing it when its trying to focus.
anyone have the same sound????

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4.
The front camera is producing blurred photos, almost as if they have been automatically edited/badly Photoshoped.
Before I capture a photo, the quality looks normal.
I've made sure the lens is clean and there is no plastic covering the lens. The same happens with Instagram... quality looks fine before capturing and then the same awful result afterwards.
Any help would be great!!
Anyone?
Can you post any photos you took with the front camera?

Thanks for the reply!
Here is an example.
This is on the highest possible resolution but the same thing happens with every option. The quality is absolutely fine before I capture the photo and then, as you can see, it's as if a soft blur filter is added.
Any ideas?
Bump!
I think it's because the post procesing, which tries to reduce the noise for the cost of details (blury).
Try to take some photos in brighter enviroment.

That sounds about right.
I was trying out different apps and Snapchat captures what is on the screen and doesn't apply any after effect.
Have you got any ideas about how I can change some settings or something?
Bump!
Anyone?

It's the camera. There's a definite lack of sharpness, and it happens on every ROM, so it's not software related.
Having the same issue.
Under good lighting, it's decent.
But under low light, or even under normal room lighting conditions, the image becomes grainy.
Even my previous S3 takes sharper and clearer images.

Exactly. I just upgraded from S2 and never had these problems. My software has just updated but with no effect.
S4 Front camera, STRANGE.
Hi,
I was having problems with my S4 trying to make an ordinarily phone call. The phone seamed sluggish and my voice did not go through once I was connected. So, I switched to hangouts. I made a video call so I was expecting to see myself in the small picture on my screen. I did see a zoomed picture in good quality? Better quality I ever had seen before! I was surprised to see a good quality zoomed picture under poor light conditions. Since I am a computer guy I realized that something is fishy so I looked for an appropriate forum to put this story in.
My question is since you are talking about a suspected software filter. Are we without our knowing it have better camera performance than we the user are allowed to use? I do not buy the ROM explanation of the problem.

S4 Front camera, STRANGE.
Hi.
I had an encounter with something, well, alarming.
I had some problems making an ordinary phone call, sluggish phone, so I switched to hangouts instead.
I made a video call to my friend. For some reason the phone had not stopped being funny. In the small picture, the one of me, I saw something I never had seen before. Instead of the expected streamed image of me I had a zoomed in version in surprisingly good quality! I could see holding my phone, S4, at 30 to 40 cm distance my mouth covering the with of the image.
Question: I looked for an appropriate forum and thread before posting. Since you are here talking about the poor picture quality of the front camera being manipulated by a software filter you might be intrigued like me about this observation I had by chance stumbled up on.
My question is whether the cameras on our phones have capabilities we are not aware of?

I just got my 6P today and overall it's a fantastic phone. Performance is great, beautiful display (nice and bright), loud speakers - but when I opened Snapchat to record a video, I noticed the scene warped a bit when I was moving the camera. I then opened the camera app and noticed the same thing. It stuttered a bit too, but the bottom part kind of warped like a gold-fish eye effect.
Anyone else experience this?

It is a side effect of the EIS. It keeps the video smooth but gives a "jello" like effect sometimes. I am assuming Google plans to tweak the stabilization in the future to reduce this effect.

Like someone else mentioned, this is what EIS does. Basically it crops the video slightly to help compensate for shake and jitters. It's a good feature but I wish it was possible to disable it. I don't like how it crops videos in snapchat.
Guys I've noticed when recording a video and I focus on something close the focusing noise comes through when playing the video back. When I move away from the object I can hear the camera ree focus but the buzzing is not loud. The refocusing noise is only loud when I focus on something close.
How is the camera? Can you make with the camera close macro photo's?

I have not had that experience. I just tried it now in my office and I didn't hear any focusing noise. I went from focus on a wall about 10 ft away to a water bottle maybe 10 inches away and no focus sound.
The video was not made in total silence you could hear some people moving around in the background but it was pretty quiet.
I was super impressed with how quickly it refocused though!

The camera is very impressive. The auto focus is faster than my DSLR. The picture quality is better than any smart phone I ever had. There was a lot of talk about the lack of Image Stabilization but my last phone had stabilization and i often got blurry photos in low light anyway. The 6p gets crisper shots w/o the stabilization.
You can't really take "macro" photos w/o using a macro lens adaptor. You can get rather close though. I have found the auto focus will focus on things as close as 5 inches away (I measured it).
The autofocus can refocus from less extreme distances so quickly that you can't even really see it. It is almost instant.

Thanks for the confirm that macro shots works with auto focus. How about 5 inches? How much cm?

I'm pretty sure that's the camera focusing. Not sure if it's software or hardware?
Is anyone else experiencing it?
I just took a couple of test videos and noticed that there is a slight sound when focusing. However, it's only discernible with the volume way up. At that point you're going to hear all kinds of other distracting/background noises as well (in my case the hum of the fridge and my fan). Not really a deal-breaker for me.

That you hear the auto focus in your movie you take to record is not good..

I'm pretty sure that sound is your hand moving the camera not the lens focusing.
It's definitely the autofocus. Put the phone next to your ear and tap to focus for a picture. You'll hear very fast clicks. My best guess is this is the laser firing repeatedly for laser auto focus. A diode firing can make a sound. Idt there is anything that can be done about this.

With a wide angle lens auto focus works at under an inch
Anyone else hearing a rattle when the phone shakes?
I believe that's the OIS you're hearing.
OIS
As long as it's not super loud then yes I think this is normal and like others said is the OIS.
Got the S8 too and noticed the rattling too when shaking the phone. It never occurs during daily usage and only when enforced though. Also it is harder to create the rattling when the camera app is open, so it definitely is the OIS.
Just gave it a try. Little OIS rattles seems to be normal.
Am I the only one who is annoyed by the static noise from the speaker on lower levels when watching a video in quiet environment?

:/ Only "fix" is to download the "earpiece" app and use the earpiece instead when you're in quiet environment
the speaker is not great.
I also find the vibrate to be less than pleasing. Very light and rattles without much punch to it.

Yeah, the speaker itself isn't great already but this static noise is what annoys me the most.
