Macro Shots w/ Vibrant camera

Just wanted to share some macro shots I took today of a butterfly sitting on my porch. The sky was overcast with no sun. Shots were taken in Macro mode at 400 ISO. I would like some feedback from a photographer who knows what their doing. Let me know what you think of the Vibrant's camera.

Nice pics, I'm amazed the butterfly Hung out that long. Now as a photographer (decent) at best I would say the pics are great for a cell phone but nothing makes up for a good dslr camera and controlled lighting... that being said the pics look great for the hardware they were accomplished on

Pretty awesome for a cellphone.
I personally can't make my phone stable for some reason especially hitting the on screen shutter.

Nice pics! I am loving having such a good camera with me all the time. I took this the other afternoon in my backyard. Macro mode works nicely.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is macro mode? Looking through the settings in the camera I don't see a 'macro mode'. Granted, I do have the Captivate camera mod, but pretty sure all the options are the same.

I am no photographer but what macro mode does if you are going to be taking an extreme close-up picture of something. It makes the camera focus different so when the lenses is close to an object its not blurry.

I found it. Under 'focus mode' in the settings. Now time to play with it.

i think we should have a Camera Forum under Vibrant.. because it feels like we're going to be having alot of amatuer (but brilliant) Photography!!!
I'm going to start posting some pics i've taken on a new thread.. hopefullly ppl will share their brilliant photography!!
p.s. I know there is probably a Flickr group for all that goodness.. but i just feel at home in XDA

Really nice pictures guys
Here's a similar thread (not Macro Shots) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745704&highlight=photos maybe some of you want to pass by and post some pics in there.

400 ISO

The quality is quite decent for a camera lens the size of a small pencil eraser (if that).

026 Improved camera quality?

Greetings everyone,
I am running now the 026 Generic firmware and i noticed that my photo quality improved a lot from 020.
Also during night my photos are actually pretty nice.
Here are some photos with the 026.
If anyone can share opinions or facts .. thanks.

You just wanna show off your house don't you.
Lighting is very important though.

They really have to fix this. My k850i makes better shots than this. I hope they fixed the zoom and focus in the update. When I try to make a shot if a document, I can't read it. When it focuses the letters become readable for a second but when you shoot its vague.

Try using the Vignette app for this. In my experience, the problem is less about focus and more about compression: the built-in camera app compresses the images way too much and there's no way to change it. If you use Vignette you can set the images to superfine and things get ALOT better - I can capture small typeface at some distance and still find it legible.
Of course, I would prefer it if the SE camera app worked better itself to prevent users having to invest in a separate app...

Wow... +1 for the Vignette app....
Just done a little experiment...
(Its a picture of my screen, which i thought would show the quality difference more obviously)
I have cropped the same part of the screen in each.

Left is vignette, right?

Yep! When you click the images, it says "Vignette" at the bottom.
It's not a bad little app. The interface could really use some work, but, it does its job.

But it is SLOOOW, I have tried that app today and from shutter pressing to saved photo it takes like 5 seconds ! I have puted it on 8 mpix.

Doesn't take that long for me..if you include the time it takes to process the image(which it does in the background) then yeah, it is something like 5 seconds per image

Vignette is super slow here too, that's why I stopped using it. If I try and take a few pics in fairly quick succession it practically grinds to a halt for atleast 30 seconds. Also had a nasty habit of losing images for me.
The se camera does not do this, but, as already stated, it is lower quality. Really need both apps and use whichever is suitable for the task at hand, but this is not a very good compromise.

1) Check that your back cover glass (the one that covers the camera) is REALLY clean from both sides.
2) Accept the fact that in low light the phone won't shoot good pics.

The only time it will take good pictures is when the flash is right now the object, or if there is 100% sun on the object. As u can see on my example, there was fairly enough light but still came out Grainy.

Samsung Galaxy s4 i9505 camera zoom / zoomed in

Is it just me or does the i9505 camera seem like it's preset to be quite zoomed in? Compared to my iPhone 4s and normal camera, it's really hard to capture wide angle shots. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone and the camera quality is superb except for this rather annoying 'issue'. Yes, I have zoomed out of the digital zoom. It's probably the equivalent of a 50mm lens whereas an iPhone is equivalent to a 30mm lens - big difference!
Has anyone else noticed this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

What resolution is the camera taking pictures at? if you have it on 9.6M (Wide Lens) it can seem quite zoomed in, try changing it to 13M, you will get the full quality of the camera.

It doesn't make a difference if it's 9.6 or 13m for me... Photos still appear like they're zoomed in
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

I retract that... I took a photo with the wide lens (9.6mp) then at the same spot with the 13mp and it indeed makes a big difference! Why is that? Crazy!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

It appears at "wide angle" the camera simply "chops off" the bottom of the normal 13MP frame which makes the camera appear like it's zoomed in...

The problem is related to the S4's poor FOV (field of view) compared to other cameras/smartphones. Take a look at some reviews comparing it to the HTC One et al.

Even if you're right, that makes a very negligible difference, check the image above.

Works thanks. Phone gets hot while using gallery on stock 5.1. Burst only takes 2 pics. Pictures look a lot better than stock camera app though. Thanks.

what about M9 camera? is that possible?

Installed the gallery only, and the button to launch the camera is not working on the Photo Editor app. Any way to launch any default camera present in the rom?

Camera doesn't install on stock 5.1? At least for me it doesn't ..
