[Q] Nexus 4 Camera Lens "Pop" sound - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For anyone who has the Nexus 4, have you noticed any loud pop sound originating from the lens? Now, I may have actually caused it through ignorance. I started messing with the ISO settings through Camera Zoom FX and set it at 100 in a low light environment. The camera started lagging (focusing took long and moving around was extremely choppy) perhaps because of the lens' attempt to gather as much light as possible. After I successfully took the picture, the camera lens started to pop, no matter which camera I used (Camera 360 or Stock). Has this happened to anyone else, or did I just mess up my camera (warranty covers it though)?

mines do it too i dont think anything of it it has its moments but its stops the only time i hear it from auto focusing and me focusing more on top of that

Camera and quality

Hi,
I am pleased about X8 hardware but the camera.
My previous phone is Nokia 6120 Classic with 2.0 mpx camera, it hasn't auto focus as X8 neither but sky and earth.
In the group of non auto-focus cameras the nokia's solution is #1, 5 star performance. Unfortunately SE-s camera hardware could have only 2 stars. The reason of my opinion: slow response time from ccd, that is why your pics become cloudy and (motion)blurry.
Nokia 6120's cam: *****
SE Xperia X8's cam: **
So... anybody has any kind of software solution to make X8's camera a little bit more usable?
A little tip from me:
Camera Pro: you can use your camera without capturing noice. And it has some possibilities to set brightness, contrast and color after shooting.
But it doesn't solve the built in motion blur effect. :[
I need more tipps.
Moved to General
Ah. I had problems with the camera being super-blurry too. But this is easily remedied, just set the camera from 'Auto' to 'Sports'. This will fix this 'motion blur' issue you are having, but doesn't stop the overall quality being crap.
You should know by now that mobile phones don't make very good cameras anyway.
Thank you.
I haven't tought that a simple option will improve the camera.
I have left one question: wich app will shoot silent photoes in sport mode?
Thx.
Putting your phone into silent mode should do it. If not, download an app called "Volume" by 'CoreCode' and turn the system volume all the way down. Not the most ideal solution, but it works. I'm sure there'd be a better option if you rooted (such as replacing the shutter sound file), but I haven't messed around with any of that yet.
Ok. Thanks.

[Q] Camera Questions

I noticed the ticking sound of the auto focus today while using the camera, just wanted to know if it is supposed to be that loud or if I have a problem?
Also, I'm not a camera expert but I noticed that for any close up pictures, the phone has to be at least a good 2/3 inches away from the object to focus on it properly, otherwise the picture just comes out blurry. Is this normal for every camera?
Well I don't know what you mean with "that loud" but I can also hear mine, so I don't think you have a problem.
I remember my S3 also had problem focussing on close range, guess it's normal. Your eye can't focus on anything closer than 7cm (about 3 inch?) either.

S5 Neo - Camera focus problem whilst videoing!

Hello,
Please can someone help me with a problem with my Galaxy S5 Neo camera as it is driving me mad?
I have a problem whilst videoing, where the camera does not stay in focus. It will focus for a few seconds but then just gives up and goes blurry. It does this on most videos I take.
It then constantly tries to focus again, and the noise of the camera focusing is quite loud when you play back the video (all you can hear is vrrrr noises!)
I have uploaded a video I just took as an example here:

Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have already tried clearing the cache for the camera app, and I don't have the plastic on the lens. Removing the case I have also makes no difference
Thank you!

High pitched noise coming from camera when focusing

Hey guys so I have an interesting one for you today. A while back I've noticed something weird happening to my camera. Whenever I try to focus it's like the camera like vibrates really quickly. After making a video and playing it back I also noticed a high pitched noise when filming and it's trying to focus. So I went into the camera app and tried focussing. When holding my ear to the general area around the camera I can hear the same high pitched noise. I haven't seen this anywhere on the internet before or after a little googling.
Does anyone know what this is/how to fix it/whether it's dangerous?
Link to video I made:

I also encounter that one, it's the optical image stabilizer having a hardware issue.
However, it went back to normal, and sometimes it happens again when the temperature is humid.
Thanks!

Clicking noise from camera

So guys i just bought the handset today.
Everything was running smooth until i turned on the manual mode and started focussing manually, a clicking noise came from the camera everytime i change the focuss.
A little bit of noise is also there even when using auto mode.
I wanted to know if this issue is with everyone or it's just with mine.
Same problem here, like a shutter sound every time i switch from front camera to rear.
Have you try something to fix it? i haven't this problem on nougat.
