hello guys,
my camera is rubbish, i mean while moving the phone and watching the camera view everything is blurred (dont tell me focus), and when taking a video it records that nonsense
Are you using the Stock HTC ROM? If so what settings are you using? I had no problems with the quality of the Camera or Camcorder.

Revolution HD 1.7, i dont remember the quality on the stock rom, but i think it was better
omg now its very good, i did nothing :S
yesterday i was in a trip to the wild, imagine how many great pictures i missed :S, maybe because i was in the night?? but why do it lag in the night?
Generally pictures taken at night don't look very good. As the the camera sensor cannot pull in enough light.
Next time your out taking snaps at night try adjusting the ISO settings, that could also create more "noise" in your photo. Test and adjust until you find a happy medium.

thnx for the help bro
No problem at all.
does anybody have the same problem?
its very hard to make a photo that is in focus and steady.
i have compared it to my old galaxy S2, and the S2 makes much better photos.
on the S2 every single photo i take is rock steady and in focus.
on the S4 its very hard to do that. every photo looks like i am shaking like an old man. it almost impossible to take a good photo.

Do you have auto low light enabled? Where are you taking the photo? Indoors outdoors?
Have the same problem on I9500. Not that we have shaky hands..

no i dont have auto low light enabled.
it does not matter where i take photos, indoor or outdoor.
3 of 4 photos are shaky.
i hope there will be a firmware update for the camera hardware soon.

Check the shutter speed on your photos.
Go to gallery/select the menu hard key/scroll down to details on the photo and should state shutter speed, iso, location etc
Tell me what they say on the blurred/shakey pics and iff different on the in focus shots mate.

it varies very much. from 1/17s to 1/1000s
but all are sometimes in focus and out of focus.
what i find is that the galaxy S2 makes perfect steady pics no matter what i do or even when i shake the S2.
on the S4 i have to be very very still and hold the cam very steady for a long time, then the chance is better to make a still foto. its unusable at the moment.
Has nobody found the anti-shake feature in camera settings?
Plus, you can take a photo by saying 'cheese', leaving your hands/fingers free to hold the phone steady

Images at 1/17 unless held very still will come out shakey, check the iOS setting on your camera press menu hard key then settings then see if ISo is on auto.
Are you taking photos of distant objects or objects/items close up or both? Sorry for so may questions just trying to help

Press hardware menu key on camera then settings and scroll down to see Antishake it's disabled by default. It simply increases ISO so your images will in low light look slightly more grainy/noisy but this enables a faster shutter speed: less lightly to be blurred from motion or movement
the anti shake is turned on, but does not really improve anything.
yes ISO is set to auto. what would be the best manual ISO setting?
i am not a photographer so my knowledge about ISO is also shaky
but the general question is: why was the S2 always steady without changing any settings, and the S4 seems to need hard work to get good photos? or am only i getting this?
if you just take the phone out of the pocket and take a foto quickly,
do you guys get a steady in focus foto every time?
i could do this with my old S2, but not with the S4.

The latest firmware (i9505xxuamdm) has a firmware update for the camera. If your photos look shaky and out of focus even in daylight and sunny conditions, you might have a faulty camera. I have not yet had any focus issues and photos taken with my S4 are steady, even in low light, the most beautiful pictures taken with a mobile phone. So you might have a faulty camera module.
Regarding the 1/17 exposure time, I have just taken a picture now in very low light and the exposure time is just that, with an ISO of 320 and Aperture 2.2, and it is sharp and in focus (taken from the hand). Have you tried focusing first by touching the screen where you want the focus to be rather than pressing the shutter button directly?
camera firmware update sounds good. do you have the apk file for it?
Hi there all
I have this issue too. I have taken photos inside and outdoors with anti shake on and off and no matter what settings I use the pictures always appear to have blur due to shake on them. It's as if the camera always selects a really long shutter speed.
I have also applied the latest firmware update with no benefit.
Cheers

i don know WHY but when i turned off image stabilizer it took photo better :-??
Same Problem
I had the same problem with out of focus/shaky pictures plus that sometimes when I wanted to turn on the camera to make pictures I received a camera busy message. The last 3 pictures that I've took with SG4 I had to use the best out of 8 picture setting to get a clear picture of a product that I make... I also noticed that even that I had better signal than HTC One or Iphone 3GS the internet was way slower compared to the other 2 phones and sometimes at home I had to turn off and on the WIFI, cause it wasn't working...

Have you tried drinking less alcohol when taking these photos?
And if that doesn't work, drink more!
Yup.. so annoying. On my last phone it took mostly clear photos. On this, you have to be still as a hair... it constantly uses low shutter speeds instead of higher ISO's making it use 1/16 shutter speed in the most inconvenient times. With my last phone (HTC Rezound), id use the cam under a bright LED flashlight and take steady shots of old paper photographs so I could post them online for friends. Im trying to do the same thing with the S4 and the pics keep coming out blurry, even when im completely still. Its a very bright light so idk why its choosing slow shutter speeds. I end up giving up trying to get a clear shot... ridiculous.
On another note... it does take very clear daytime pics. ....
Hello
I have both the S4 and S4 lte and the problem is the S4 lte camera is far inferior to S4 anyone know the reason why it is lower in quality ?

Have you checked every settings of the app and everything?
Did a test in same conditions etc ? What's reaaly wrong ? The resolution, pixels, noise ?

Hi all Galaxy Note3 Snapdragon users!
I wanna make thread for users can upload images (REAR + FRONT) with 13 MP size.
I seem Note3 camera isn't better so, even Galaxy S4 camera too.
My brother phone camera (Pantech Vega Secret Node) has better camera which has same feature, same MP.
I not say, camera is worse, but in shot i'm if scale size, it's loss quality higher than other phone camera.
I soon upload result between 2-phone, but i want users upload image, maybe my phone issue?!
Go! Upload, comment.
I hope this thread will be popular.
Sorry for bad english,

Bro I think it's from your phone, try resetting the camera settings to default.

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?
