What are your camera settings? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Just realized that I have been snapping pics in the 6 MP mode which I'm assuming was set from the factory. I switched over to 13 MP, but that affects the field of view.
What are you all using for your camera settings?

I prefer the 9.6 MP settings because it shoots in 16:9 vs the 4:3 setting the 13MP setting utilizes (which is the reason the 13MP puts the black bars on top and bottom of your screen, because your screen is 1080p wide screen 16:9 :] )
I haven't found a true need to shoot even that high to be honest but I figure might as well use it since its there

Blue lines across pictures on LA3

Anyone encountered the above in the pictures?

Screenshot Please
Attached the sample pic. Not sure whether it was the Iso settings (set to 800) and/or lighting conditions.
But some of the photos in took hv no issues.

looks like interference due to light conditions! try another lightsource...
in some cam apps you can adjust this by setting the 50 or 60HZ compensation, the stock cam of the note does not show such an option, maybe it tries to do this automatically and this fails in your case!
I have the same prob.. Think its a software issue..hope there will be fix to this prob

Ok. I hv taken another 2 more shots using ISO settings set to auto and 800.
As you can see that the pic with the blue lines are using ISO800 settings.
The other pic taken using ISO Auto have no issues.
Hence, I suspect its due to the camera software.
Anyone have any idea or solutions using any software to correct the affected pics?

[Q] Lower flash brightness

Is there any way to lower how bright the flash is when taking a picture? Are there any settings within the stock camera app or is there an aftermarket camera that does this? Using filters to darken the picture works ok but it sucks seeing good pictures ruined by how bright they ended up. Really disappointed with the camera on the Nexus 4 especially coming from the HTC Amaze and even my wife's SG2 does a better job.
Turn down the exposure to -1?

Bad camera

I noticed that my camera quality is really bad. If you look close to that picture, there is much noise and all the borders are blurred. Even if I look at the spot I focused. The colors also are quite bad... My friends phone make better pictures, we compared them in the same situation.
A sample picture: http://db.tt/Ea3BQKwq
Can I do anything to make Google fix my camera or to get them do a full RMA?
I can't live with such a poor quality

There is nothing wrong with your phone's camera. However, poor lighting conditions and a shaky hand may have something to do with it ;P

All nexus 4 cameras use the same Sony sensor. RMA won't do you any good, as you can see Google's imaging software is garbage when compared to skinned uis like Samsung or even iOS...

I remember I read something about a better camera on all rev11 devices compared to the rev10 devices. Better satuation, less washed out colors etc. So I tried my friends rev11 n4 and the colors are better, the borders aren't blurred/noisy.

My only question is how many megapixels were those shots for the note 3. And it seems to gather more of a area of the photo!

From memory I took those all in maximum resolution on widescreen aspect ratio.
Also I've since upload a couple more comparison sets.

I'd like to see how the Night Mode helps with a low light situation (noise-wise).

from the note 3(N9005) pics exif its clear it is using a new cam firmware........D13QSGH030A which differs from both I9500 and I9505 and my gut feeling is that in N9005 snapdragon version samsung might have used samsung sensor(bcos smasung camera modules have SGH codes) which might be capable of recording 4k videos while N9000 exynos might use the same IMX135 exmor RS sensor as used in I9500 without 4k recording........

I think 4k recording is purely based on the CPU, etc and not on the camera sensor. 13MP is 4808x2704 and 4k is just 3840×2160(8.3 MP) and only CPU should be able to make it shoot thirty 8.3 MP shots per second(i.e, 4k video at 30 fps). Pls correct me if I'm wrong!
