Not to pile on you or anything, but your lens appears to be smudged a bit. A macro shot should be far, far clearer than that, with any camera.
Try giving it a clean with a cloth.
Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I've yet to take some outside and the only others I've taken are of family, which I'm not putting up here, and the dog lol.
And for those being critical, lets see yours!
Thanks for sharing, nice shots of outdoors!
Here is a shot of some food. Lighting was quite weird, high dim lights with a window right next to me. Anyways I thought it turned out decent!

I think there is a quality drop here
I remember someone pointed out a quality drop after root or the 23 firmware upgrade and I have just noticed the guy might be right.
the glasses pic was taken earlier before root on the 16 firmware.
the markers took just now after root with the 23 firmware.
the markers pic appears to have too much noise reduction and less details.

Hi all,
I love taking photos with my phone. It is my primary camera and I use a variety of camera apps.
I thought it would be nice to see some of the photos that you guys are taking with your phones but in order to keep it simple each user should upload only one photo and that photo must be taken with a G2 or a Desire Z.
So I'll start. The photo was taken a few weeks back with MIUI camera app. No editing and no filters. Enjoy
Wow, this is fun!
If no other photos show up I'll just take it as a sign that my photo was so awesome that noone wanted to post after it

i was walking home from college when i saw this hot blond bend over, luckily i took a pic
So I took this at the Singapore airport *wink* *wink*
I don't have too many interesting photos but i have an awesome video of a friend of mine blowing fire out of a water bottle haha. He filled it with deodorant, then put a burning paper down the nozzle of it and it became a torch when he squeezed the bottle xD. 720p videos are great
All of these were taken with MIUI's Camera app.

You are right, just took the torch to have a look at it, there is pink but not as much as in the photo, Oh well, I mainly use it as a phone.
Is there a way to minimize it or it is hardware?
Also the picture in the above post by "ahalford" also have a bit of pink in it.

Indeed. Adjustable, though, through Photoshop in 1 second. Mainly can be seen on "Auto white balance" setting.
Here is one more. Focusing on red-orange gamma, whites in the background also get warm tones.
Anyways, Galaxy camera after HTC's is a revelation.

It's a purely hardware issue. To the extent that it can be minimized is based on software.
No amount of megapixels can make-up for the fact our all camera phone sensors are ridiculously small, and thus cannot capture sufficient light which creates the pink effect. =) It is also for this reason that you will not see this effect when the place is extremely bright (e.g., taking a picture outside on sunny day while under the sun and not in any shaded areas).
Once you know how to look for it, you'll know that this happens across platforms. Camera sensors just suck. Every photo I've seen from a camera phone that is not well lit has exhibited this effect.
You could always take pictures along the red-spectrum. It'll be camouflaged that way if it bothers you. *Shrugs* Or keep flash enabled all the time.
I'm loving this camera!

Guys thanks for the input. I was afraid that it might be an issue with my device lens or something because changing Roms from stock to paranoid didn't fix the issue.
Outside I don't notice it... Only on very low light settings. My balance is always set to auto white.

I doubt it's a manufacturing issue. it's most likely a lens design problem.
From experience, I'm going to say this is normal. Had it on my Touch Pro 2, my HD2, my G2 and now my Nexus 4. Only noticeable in scenes with low light.

I never saw this on my OG ego, photon, or s3.
And until this thread I hadn't seen it on my n4. But since reading this thread I have noticed it on my low light photos
Actually, this is starting to look like lens flare. All but the OP's shots look to have a bright light source in front of the lens, out of frame.

In my opinion its definitely not lens flare. I've never experienced lens flare in the dark only. Also the pictures of the guys carpet and cat seem to also be in very low light with the same result so I'm not the only one experiencing this in very low lighting. Also my outdoor picture doesn't seem to produce it in the street shot where it would have been more likely to show lens flare (although that could mean it's still there but much less visible.)
I'm starting to think that more people are effected by this and just don't even realize it. I'm personally leaning towards the concept someone here already mentioned that this is a biproduct of the lens in low light.
For those of you not experiencing this issue please post your pictures of indoor shots with low light equivalent scenerio. Perhaps only some are effected by it or maybe you're just not noticing it. Like others have mentioned here... After reading this post that hue in the center became noticeable.
I hope it's an isolated issue but I'm starting to think it isn't.
Thanks again for all the feedback. I am very much into photography so it might take a fine eye to distinguish. Also if you decide to show a pic off try to use a lighter background so we can see the red/purple as some darker subject matter may mask it.
Good luck and I hope you don't share the same experience that we are having.

I am also seeing this in low light. To me this looks as if this is sadly normal. If not then a whole lotta fun trying to exchange for one that doesn't exhibit it.

You should call google and ask because on mine, never happens even in low light. Its most likely hardware flaw on your lens and google would let you RMA for it.
---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------
Also there is "post your pictures taken by nexus 4' thread in general on first pagw and no one there seems to have the problem
I get this in lower light too, and it happened on my SGS3 and SGS2 as well so i'd say it's normal. In night shots and daytime it isn't visible.
Yepp I definitely get it too. Also doesn't focus correctly at times, like my gnex did.
Anyways here are 2 pics I just took. My living room had no lighting (beside coming from kitchen), my daughter is right under a light and I can't see the red hue there.

Good question. Ill try again tonight when it's dark out (got huge windows in living room) with the same shot in different lighting scenarios.
Regarding those comparative shots in different lighting conditions...
I just did exactly that, taking a picture of my desk, very similar lighting conditions.
All settings Auto, Exposure 1/30 s: red center
All settings Auto, Exposure 1/40 s: no red center
Video preview shows the same issue when I point the camera similarly.
This is not a hardware issue (at least not in terms of the lenses or CMOS), it looks more like there's something wrong during picture processing. It might be a problem with the ISP, although I'm pretty baffled to see this happening for such a long time (it was already an issue on the HTC HD2 which was released in late 2009). If it's an ISP issue, I guess we're out of luck.
One of the main gripes I had with my Note 2 was the poor pictures it took. I looked at a lot of the reviews of the S4 and looked at all of the sample pictures on the web that the S4 took. I was thoroughly impressed by how good of quality pics it took and that is want got me hooked on getting it. After getting it I see it does take better pics but at the same time I don't get the quality I saw in the pics on the web.
I was wondering is there anything I can do to maximize the quality of my pictures so I get comparable quality that I saw in the review pictures?
Yeah I'm not sure. I always feel like this as well. Just make sure that you set Anti-Shake to on. That helps me, otherwise all my pics are blurry.
Check your camera and check to see if there's the clear plastic protective shipping film over. I was thinking the same thing about picture quality and found that. It almost looks like it should be there and is a little hard getting off.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I took the film off the first second I got the phone so it's not that.
Try shooting pictures in Rich Tone (HDR). I've noticed consistently better quality pictures.
Ya I kind of noticed that as well but the only problem is whatever you're shooting has to be completely still in order for it to not turn out blurry.
Antishake on or hold your breath when taking pictures
The camera is only as good as the person's skills using it. Don't rely fully on the camera/software itself to do all the hard work for you.
The people who post reviews of these devices generally have decent photography skills and thus their "sample" pics turn out much better than the average user's.
Like stated, try to use HDR. Keep a steady hand by resting it on something or squating down low to the ground with a good steady poise. Play with the focus on different subjects to get the desired focal length as well.

Sadly, it's one of the biggest problems this camera has. The problem is more evident in scenes with a lot of white objects or backgrounds.
Take the attached image as an example (yep, I brought Starbucks into a bar, lol)
Thankfully this is something that will likely be fixed in a firmware update.
No offense the first pic you posted is absolutely terrible. The colors are muted out and the entire thing is red.
Unless you're telling me you have red paper towels in your house.
as long as we're doing this. I know nothing about photography, i just thought these were decent pics
the third one i only put because somethign about the water and the way it caught the bird in flight so crisp i thought was amazing
This is with a quick auto correct of some colors and look at the difference. And it still looks like it's got a bit of a red tint.

no issues with the tint... I can fix that in 2 clicks. my problem is the "dry brush filter" look. You can't get those pixels back.

It's a phone that has a camera, I don't expect to shoot National Geographic on this thing, so for me the camera is just fine.
A trick that you can try to prevent some of the redness or out of balance colors (not the purple hue) is to cover the light sensor on the front off the phone with your finger and then find something white to aim at and rebalance the shot before taking the picture. The sensor is to the left of the earpiece. It seems to help a lot when taking pictures in rooms lit by yellower CFLs.

Regarding all of the complaints of the Moto X's camera, are (some or all of) these things fixable by software/firmware updates or is it in the hardware? Anyone know? Details would be nice. Thanks.

I think this is a pretty bad attitude. There are decent cameras in phones that cost just as much or less. There's no reason to make excuses, the camera can be bad, but don't write it off like it's not important or they couldn't include a decent sensor.
