Hi all,
Just flashed the [ICS][CM9][Froyo Kernel] 4 Feb Epsylon3 Defy (Android 4.0.3) Rom on my Defy and the camera does not work anymore.
I have rebooted again, but still not luck.
Anything else I can do?

If you read the Changelog (second post), you will see that "basic camera support" means that the camera takes pictures, but there is no preview on the screen while you're taking the picture, and you have to restart the camera app for each new picture. Also, the camera does not work at all with red lense.
Read the forum posts from Feb 4th to learn how to get the camera to take pictures, and where to find the saved pictures that it takes.
green lense doesn't work yet

I know the limitations, but no pictures are taken when shutter is pressed.

It takes about 4-5 seconds before it clicks the pic. And only Green lens.

Actually it's otherwise.
Simple as that.......camera is not yet ready. That's one of many things holding me back from installing cm9

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the photos taken with the default camera app is a little skewed at the edges?
The camera is great for macro shots but when shots are taken from a distance, I can't help but notice that the subjects on the edges get distorted or stretched.
It would be nice if we shared our experiences on this. After all, this phone was touted to have the best camera at the time of the launch.
Thanks.

I feel this may be a hardware issue and not just a software glitch as I have noticed the same distortions with the in-built Charm Cam App. It could possibly have something to do with the lens alignments or maybe it's just an isolated case with my phone. But I have no means to verify my allegations as I don't have another phone to carry out comparisons.
In any case, I request other owners to please share your findings with regards to the image quality on this camera.

The primary reason i found for noise is that iso gets too high in auto mode.it might just be software issue. But we dont have other phone with same hardware(OV 16825)
Since kernal sources are avilable i hope they provide some light
Also as the camera is capable of [email protected] 60fps i would like if some dev removes this constrain of [email protected]

I took a 1080p video and found no distortion along edges this in theory proves it is not due to hardware problem i.e. lens alingment

who said we dont have image stabilization...check the ov16825 details on website..it has EIS..i know its not that great compared to OIS or OIS+...and for ur question y ppl want 4k videos...they can record 4k videos which they can preserve as a memory for later on...why we click pics record video for capturing memory only na...i know getting a 4k TV is not easy as it cost too much...but if the system has the functionality why cant we enable it with the powers of devs...

Hi all,
I haven't been used any phone which have optical image stabilization (OIS). I decide to buy a new Galaxy S7. I come to a store and give some tests. When I zoom in and take some photos using volume down button, I see camera trembles. When I restart the camera app, everything is back to normal. This happened twice.
Please help to check this video:
(sorry that I don't have enough 10 posts to post link here)
youtube.com/watch?v=7yhz4S7mM5g
So, it's a major problem or is it ok? Why did the camera tremble? And does this happen to other phone which support OIS camera?

It should be for the camera too. Ois is mechanical is it not? So if its video or pictures it should stable out. I would think

I just did it. Seemed pretty stable to me. It's going to move a little bit but it wasn't jerky. It was more of smooth left and right ups and downs

Turn off Video Stabilization in the settings, because that is software stabilization. It will switch to OIS if you turn it off.
IOS is always on for photos or video. here is a good look.. go to 6:15
I don't think you can turn off ois. It's literally a floating lense. All it does is reduce micro movements you make by letting the lense float and not react immediately with your body movements. If you point it at something and move slightly you will notice it takes a second to sort of drift over on screen. Pretty cool.
Hi friends. Please chek my attachment and tell me how to fix camera quality
Try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
In app, turn of NOISE REDUCTION...and photos will be MUCH better than from stock photo app...

Dont use stock photo app...it has very strong Noise reduction at night and bad postprocessing... At day, it sometimes doesnt focus properly on objects... With ProShot,you may see more noise on photos, but more details too.
Grass and trees are bad for photography for any smartphone, because they move.

1. you need unlocked bootloader, keep in mind your warranty and DRM keys will be lost.
2. unless you are already rooted ignore 1.

Really marvellous. GCAM is really the gamechanger for the Z2 Photography at least. thankfully all the features are native supported. A big thanks to Zuk too for their sources

Hello,
I would like to ask if anyone has encountered the following issue:
When I try to make night photos with light gathering in Pro mode, the camera gathers too much light. Now I try the following settings: WB - Auto; Focus Auto/100; Shutter 4/8/16 seconds; ISO 100 in 48 MP mode. Now what I get with this configuration is too much light absorption. Pictures get really yellow and bright around any light sources. This makes taking pictures of car taillight trail for example impossible.
Now before you say to try different settings - I have. I also have the PRO version of the phone, and pictures are being way way better with the exact same settings. I will upload some examples as soon as I have them on my PC.
Has anyone encountered such an issue with the stock cam app?? Any way to fix it?? Any better cam app that might help out?? Can this be a faulty camera all together and should I contact the seller? (phone bought from China so you can figure how that will go).
Thank you very much in advance

but i used gcam and the camera of lightroom for normal usage and its been good so far
the images of stock camera felt lil bit unnatural to me
yeah! gcam and camera of lightroom would be good
the video recording was too much annoying for me mainly for the crop and noise in the video
and ive been using open camera for video recording which is producin 100 times better result than stock one
even gcam had problem with video recording

Thank you very much. Do I need the phone rooted to use those??Also can you provide links for the gcam / opencamera video recording apps, as well as any configuration you find good?
It just seems strange that 2 phones with presumably same sensor, can make such different photos with the same settings. Yes one is RN7 and the other is RN7P, but still they should have identical cameras.
Thank you in advance!

that is fundamentally incorrect. it's almost as if saying all 12mp sensors on every mainstream phone out there should be same as they output the same 12mp images.
rn7 has samsung isocell gm-1 sensor, which is unproven compared to the sony imx586 on the rn7p. there will be differences for sure.
