Could anybody inform me of the changes with camera performance with the new update? (other than auto flash and geotagging)
How fast is it to load and focus? what are the images like?
All reviews i have read are based on the old software, so wondering if those reviews would have been much better if using newer firmware?
Any samples?
Many Thanks.
Here you go.. photos taken in Hamburg yesterday with my X1, smabergs 6.0 ROM with the new Camera and HTC Camera..
Same place, different app:

HTC: http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/240/imag0004f.jpg
I don't know if it's a problem with smabergs ROM, but focusing takes ~1-2s and then after ~8-10s the picture is taken.. terribly slow for me.
A collection from last weekend using the different focus methods.

Doesn't seem to be too slow

these pictures are never taken by the Xperia Camera xD
By the way, I was searching in R3A cam the self-timer / autotimer / automatic release, didn´t find it. Can anybody help, or is this basic function missing?
thanks for the samples, dont look too bad.
But 10 secs to take a photo is really slow! anybody else experiencing this?
after a softreset, speed of the camera is back to normal.. 1-2s
Really 8 - 10 secs to take a shot ???
1- could be the SAT link time
2- could be the flash charge time
I am pleased with the results, it is not a PRO camera: it's a phone with camera and I don't expect PRO pics
IMHO it makes decent (not "brilliant" or "great") shots
I took this one with zero adjustments, just grabed phone from pocket and shot:
If I need better shots, I take my cybershot with me
Taking photos with the camera flash on used to be quite good on the dhd..... It would seem to turn on the flash briefly to get the right focus and exposure before flashing again to take the picture.
But since the 2.3 update it seems that the camera flash performance has decreased markedly. I end up with photos that are often out of focus and with poor exposure and white balance, much worse than before.
Anybody notice the same problem or know how to fix it?

flickers during preview before taking a shot
produces pictures with more noise than in HC camera
Any help is much appreciated thanks guys
Hi guys
I was just about to post it in cyanogen mod thread (I tried both stable and nightlies release) but I tried paranoid android and I even flashed different cameras versions but always end up with same issue so for me its not really rom related. When i set resolution to 13mpix or 9mpix preview in viewfinder seems all fine and cover whole screen, but after taking a picture I end up with 4:3 ratio picture, when I go down to 6mpix pictures are taken in 16:9 but viewfinder cover only around 75% of picture. In 6mpix preview is really inaccurate, is stretched and look bad. I did my best with explaining now pictures and screenshots:
tinyurl.com/ncxjx3b
All pictures were taken from same place.
Is there any way to either have 13/9mpix pictures autocropped to 16:9 (as far as i know stock samsung firmware do exactly this) or just fix preview on 6mpix mode so it cover actual area?

I am not sure if you are using a 100% stock rom, same rom which came with your phone.
If you are not, and you are using any of the custom roms, especially those roms which
are not based on the i9505 Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware I would first
do a nandroid backup in recovery.
Then I would download the proper model of the Odin flash rom which is the same model #
as came with your phone then I would flash Odin flash the stock rom.
I have a hunch that you are NOT currently using the STOCK rom which came with your phone.
But Odin flashing the stock rom is really the only way to tell if you have a software/rom issue
or it's a hardware issue in which case you can exchange it if your phone is still under warranty.
Good luck with it!
I'm not using stock Rom but at the same time I don't want to. I rooted and flashed my s4 because I wanted to get rid off Samsung interface as I prefer nexus like experience.
I'm not quite sure what's your advice. Are you trying to tell me that I supposed to go back to stock room? Is there a workaround for this as I DON'T want Samsung Rom back.
Thanks for reply anyway

Hey Guys,
Wanted to start a thread about the camera and quality of pics that it captures..soo for anyone who already has theirs in hand, post up some pics! :good:
Just saw this thread and took a shot outside while waiting for my car to get fixed. Just used the auto settings and that's it. I should try low light later. Not great as using manual settings at all lol.
Any thought about the camera focus speed?
How is the camera shutter speed / focus speed / startup speed?
Anyone can compare to the Galaxy S7?
