[Q] Camera lag - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I take a picture, it says "processing" for a second or two.
Is this normal?

you have to turn flash auto or on and check your mode is automatic.
when you open the app you see right corner some settings. you can adjust there.
i had the same problem and solved like this. hope helps you too.

Anyone aware how to shut the shutter sound while clicking a picture ?

I had the same issue when I played with a display unit at an AT&T store.
Team Union ROM LT4 v7, LT3 Modem, Speedmod k5-5, Carrier: AT&T (US)

I do not have mine yet, but I did read elsewhere that you need to shut off the 'low light' and / or 'image stabilisation' (may be the same thing?) settings to speed it up. I have seen demos where the photo is almost instant, and you can take photos almost as fast as you can tap the screen.

I have the same problem. the shutter sound is here, even in vibrate or silent modus.
Thx for your help

In automatic mode with flash auto, the GN3 tries to take the best picture.
In low light environement, flash is not used and GN3 takes time to take the best shot hence the lag.
In bright daylight, with the same configuration, there's no lag.

1. On my rooted N900 there is no shutter sound when sound is set to "Mute".
2. I can confirm that the camera "processing" delay disappears with "smart stabilization" disabled.

when you launch the app, push menu button > settings > window opens
Click on the settings icon on the right tab > scroll down you will see flash setting.
Switch to auto or On.
Enjoy.

I tried all of these and nothing alieved the delayed "processing" after taking a shot. It also would not allow me to take burst shots. I finally tried turning off smart stabilization and that fixed the lag problem. I was able to take burst shots as well after I disabled it

You need to disable image stabilization. It comes turned on by default.

You are probably shooting in HDR mode instead of auto mode.
HDR needs processing

I'm pretty sure you've set it that way somehow, which means there should be an option to turn it back off. By default, mine snaps, says saving screenshot at the top, and copies it to the clipboard. Gallery never opens.
Found it under display options.

Method 1:
1. Place the palm of your hand on the screen of S4. Make sure the phone is unlocked, because it won’t work on the locked screen.
2. Swipe your hand across the screen in either direction, left or right. You should hear a camera shutter sound along with a notification appearing on screen saying “copied to clipboard”. You can find the screenshot in your photo Gallery.
(make sure the “Palm motion” option is turned on. To on/off this option, go to Settings -> Motions and gestures -> Palm motion)
Method 2:
simply press lock key and home button at the same time. Hold both the buttons at same time till you hear the camera shutter sound.

enable palm swipe and swipe across the screen with your hands in contact with screen
Palm swipe works, it's just not as sensitive as it was compared to the S3/Note 2. You need to apply a bit more pressure.

Air View not working on lock screen for text messages

In the pool party commercial for the S4, they show a girl checking her text message on her lock screen by hovering her finger over the "New Message" box on the lock screen.
Here is a link. It happens around 1 minute:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2TtdM4iI5k
Maybe it's not a lock screen but a widget of some sort? It looks like either a lock screen or home screen.
True. Can't tell but it's either home screen or Lockscreen. Both where previews don't work with air view?

I wasn't able to get it to work on the lock screen. The box shows up looking just like the commercial but hovering my hand doesn't do anything. I'm wondering if this is a feature not in the AT&T version... I tried doing it as a widget on the home screen but it also didn't work with air view.

You have to click to the left of the on off toggle for air view in the settings.. It will bring up a menu and make sure information preview is selected.. Also if the whole message can be seen in the message preview on the lock screen it won't air view... It has to be more than the preview can show

So have you gotten it to work? In my lock screen, the box says "New Message" but doesn't show ANY of the text. Do I need to make a new widget on my lock screen or something? Air view isn't working over the standard "New Message" box that shows up on the lock screen by default. If you could take a pic of where the air view is working for you on the lock screen, that would be great.
Yeah after figuring it out I've been using it a few days now... If its not showing any part of the message open the messaging app.. Then settings and make sure message preview is checked

I'm going to reiterate the steps since I think I wasn't clear enough in the first post I made here..
To enable airview and get the messaging preview from it like the pool party commercial is a two step process Samsung did not enable the information preview from the factory so you must do this yourself..
Step one: goto your phones settings then my device and scroll down to airview.. Make sure the button next to the word airview is green THEN tap the word airview and it will open a sub menu with 5 settings in it.. Make sure information preview is turned on and green
Step 2: open the messaging app and hit the menu button to access settings..scroll down to notification settings and make sure message preview is checked off with the green check mark (again Samsung did not enable this by default so you must check it yourself)
To test text yourself or have someone text you with a few sentences and hover your finger over the notification on the lock screen it will bring up the bubble like in the commercial.
If the entire message can be seen in the preview on the lock screen (ex: hey) then airview will not doing anything here.. Its only for messages larger than the preview can display..
If your notification on the lock screen only shows 1 new message you do not have message preview enabled under the messaging app..
Airview and information preview will allow you to hover over your calendar (app not widget), and in the email app (not gmail) as well.
Also yes I am on an AT&T S4

I can't seem to get air view to work with my text message threads. I open the stock text message app once it opens to all of the text conversation threads I hover over any of them and nothing. I have air view turned on and I also have preview enabled in the text settings. Help will be much appreciated.

I did however install some of the free camera mode features, maybe it got installed with one of them. If you select mode and go to the bottom there is an option to download. I picked a few of the and they installed, then that's when I noticed the location feature. Try that.
Tried that. All 4 modes. Still no go. What mode did you see the option in?

Weird Camera Lengthy Shot??

So when trying to take a picture, sometimes it will do it instantly, other time it a blue ring with sort of ring around and say "keep your phone still" and takes like 6 seconds for a picture? It's on auto mode. Anyone know why this does this and when?

I noticed it also, I saw that it happens when a "twilight shot" icon shows up in the bottom, so my untested theory is that the auto mode is engaging some sort of night mode where it keeps the shutter open longer to capture darker images. If you turn off picture stabilization, then the delay goes away.
