[Q] Outdoor Photos In Bright Light Are Blue

Hi;
Photos taken with my HTC Desire HD outdoors in bright light appear to have a blueish hue to them, anyone have this problem and what settings should I change?

Hi, your 2nd picture was what I spent most of today looking at.
You should take a look at your white balance, setting it to fluorescent can give pictures a blue hue. Also try lowering your sharpness, the default camera app tries to hard to enhance the picture and quickly ruins it.

Hi;
I just took a look at my camera settings and the white balance was indeed set to fluorescent and the sharpness was already dropped to -1 so I left it. I also de-selected auto enhance. I'll take some pics tomorrow. I remember adjusting the settings shortly after getting the phone when reading a review on the HTC DHD on how to enhance pictures!!!

No Green Tint

Hello everyone, i´m on [ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7720 ready] and i was playing with the camera and found out that if i take nigth shots or with poor ligth with these settings:
SCENES - candleligth
FLASH - auto
i have no green tint
At least for me.

Well done, seems to work ok, serious blue tint on normal photos but can set it back to auto.
It doesn't make sense though adding a blue filter to reduce a green tint but there you go!
BTW can we have front facing camera and WP7 on SD please

Yes i know it´s not perfect but if you auto enhance with HTC Photo Enhancer it gets much better at least better than green/yellow tint.
The candleligth settings work better on nigth and poor ligth conditions, on normal ligth or sunny get back to normal settings and pictures come out ok.

Discolored pictures from rear camera

Anyone seen or heard anything similar to this? I'll open the camera app to take a picture and the view looks ok. Once I take the picture it comes out discolored, sort of like it has a retro effect on it. It mostly happens when using flash, and once taken the view shows the retro look from then on until I restart the app. I've tried other camera apps and get the same thing.
Ive uploaded two sample pics, the first being an example of any picture I take with flash(and the view I see until the app is closed) and the second is a shot without flash. Even though that picture is of a lit tv, lights on in the room and the kinect sensor pointing at it, that picture discoloration happens in any room with any type of light.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, the green discoloration is from the invisible green laser the kinect is giving off, which has likely damaged your camera.
I've heard of this happening with DSLRs.

It was happening well before I put it in the same room as the Kinect though. The 2nd picture shown(without flash) doesn't have the discoloration, and was taken just seconds after the first. Is there something different the camera does when using flash that could be damaged? Seems to take pictures just fine without flash.

are you taking this thru the built in camera app..
Do you have any other camera apps installed are all the camera settings set to stock..
these are things that could effect camera / camera flash quality.. i had similar issue after installing a cam app from market uninstalling that app solved it.
dont remember what app it was sorry

If you are using a case, It may be effecting the flash; I know when I use the stock camera app with flash in a dark room it gives a greenish tint, over the whole photo, when in the case. Taking my tablet out of the case fixes the issue. Probably the thick case bounces my flash across the clear protective glass over the lens. Your picks look a little different though.
When you get the greenish screen, instead of closing the app, try toggling one or all of the three---white balance, color effect, or scene mode and see if the screen reverts to normal.

Just tried changing the settings before and after taking a picture. It seems the discoloration happens only when scene is set on auto and flash is on. Changing from auto to incandescent with flash on takes normal pictures and fixes the screen discoloration. Switching back to a different scene setting and back to auto fixes the discoloration until you take another picture. I'd say it's software related but its happened on 3rd party camera apps.

If you havent already,..... take it outside into Natural sunlight. Set flash to always on(just to test) and every other setting to auto. Take a few test pics. Some close-ups and some landscapes to test the colors. My guess is the outdoor shots will look fine.

Green screen in stock camera FIXED

I've been having this problem when every few photos, just a plain green picture is taken. And sometimes there are distorted colors. I decided to play around with the settings to check if it changes anything.
I found out that the problem is keeping the focus mode in Continuous Auto focus. Keeping it in this mode apparently has problems which are the green photos, distorted colors, and around 2 seconds of lag between the shutter and the photo being taken.
Keeping it on Auto took off 2 of the problems which were the green photos and distorted colors. But it was still kind of laggy, I think it's supposed to be this way though to have time for it to focus
Putting it on Infinity fixed all of it, I took over 20 photos without any problem or lag.
I don't know why that problem occurred, but it's probably just the camera firmware and not a hardware problem.
Hope I got to help

Camera captures pictures in green colour

I bought this phone yesterday (it's actually second hand) but the only problem I am having with it is the camera. The camera captures photos in green colour. The front camera when it's flash light is on. It makes the whole picture looks green. I don't find anyone else complaining about this issue so does this mean that it's a problem with just this particular device which is in my hands right now, and not with all the GM 5 plus?
Please tell me what should I do?

Try to settings/apps/camera/storage/clear storage
Also check if you have the latest update of the os as well as the latest version of the camera
