Camera tests ( low light, day time)

Looking for someone to please do camera tests with the note 3 since it now comes with some enhancement to help with low light situations and everyday photos. Please post.

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!

[Q] nexus 4 camera

We all know that N4 has a very bad camera..specially in low light photos..photos have very much dots..They seems good on mobile but when zoomed even a little its pathetic.
Was anyone able to find out what the issue is..? is it software or hardware..?
If its software related than is there any solution..?

Low light noise, no tap to snap picture, horrendous flash photos.
It's just not as good as the Galaxy S2+ I was going to sell.
The camera is the biggest disappointment for me as a one week N4 owner. I'm seriously considering selling the phone.
I tried the Moto X apk, which seemed to be a little better on the noise front, but I can't live with that aspect ratio. "Focal" was even worse than the stock camera.

No We are just expecting a decent camera..coz i think its a make or break feature for a smartphone..accept it or not..camera is not good enough on N4. And please i was just asking a question, its not about what i expect.
Just FYI i have a DHD and its camera is great..even in low light

agree camer not good..but it depends on what u use most..it is subjective..for me this is a perfect phone for daily driver

I just wanted to know whats causing this Low light Noise..i love the phone and i am using it from last 6 months..but if someone could figure out the root cause than i guess it could be solved..

I don't in any way think the N4 has a terrible camera. The pictures of takes for me at least are clear and sharp.. Way better than my S2 and honestly look just as good as my brothers Optimus g and NY wife's Note 2..
Not sure what your talking about..

Yea, I concur. I'm able to take great pictures with this phone. I'm not sure what the issue is. I mean I did come from the Evo 4G to this though, that phone had so many camera issues so I guess anything is better.

After reading around the subject, the only thing I've that gives me any hope is someone suggested using Snap Camera HDR app and fixing the ISO at 100. I'll be giving it a try in the hope of reducing noise in the pictures my N4 makes. Ta-ta, PmT
I am not expecting a 5DmkIII quality but I was expecting the camera to be as good as the one on my Galaxy S2 Plus (also 8MP).

My camera works great for a phone.

I think the camera is not bad but not the greatest either. What I hate about it is that you HAVE to tap the screen to take a pic. Is there a way to enable one of the volume buttons to take a pic or something?

Have you not upgraded to 4.3? On 4.3, you can use the volume rocker to take pics.

you dont have to tap the screen. long press the shoot button until its focused, then release. or in 4.3, you can hold down the down volume button then releae when focused.
btw some recent photos..

This phone sold for $200, of you want better camera you're going to have to shell out more money for other phones with better camera.
If you want less noise in low light shoot with iso 100. Or get n HTC One.

I have been running 4.3 since it was leaked and have had no issues. I did have a couple of apps that were misbehaving, but once the devs updated for 4.3 compatibility, they were fixed.

dual shot won't work

Hey I was trying the camera on the note 3 and it won't let me click dual shot button ? It worked before because when I got the phone I tried it also I did the new software update last night maybe that did somthing

Same here. And camera is slowest than my note 2 and even my old s2. One once processing, once not. Both ways is super slow.

I fixed it go into manage app for camera and clear data then it works

I had the same..had to click front camera and set auto..then back camera to auto. It then let me use dual shot!!!

it happens because your video recorder is set in 4k format you need to set a lower resolution and then the camera will allow you to use dual shot function

REQ Record in Slow Motion

Hello, I ask if any developer can create twiks or mod to record in slow motion, as is the case for the Galaxy Note 3. Thank you for your hard work

guys but there is no developer who is able to do this mod? from the community would be greatly appreciated ... thanks

Why?
There are many slow motion camera apps in the play store or simply record in 60 fps and convert it to 24 fps.
If you want more you can use after effects of twixtor (or many other apps) to interpolate frames on your pc but that's a too big task for a phone.

perhaps I have not explained well, I require a mod for lg g2 can record in slow motion as it happens for other devices (Samsung Galaxy Note 3, etc..) that mount the snapdragon processor. I do not need the post-production of the movie, but a real camera in slowmotion. I think playing on Build.propr and profiles CameraMedia, it manages to achieve what most users want. thanks

Yessss!!!!

Essentially, he's looking for a camera than can shoot 120fps.
I was wondering the same thing myself. It seems as if the camera/processor are both capable of such a thing, but there's no software support yet.
At least I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure jisnu was working on this mod. I think he said something about 4.4 having a proper software for 120 fps.

[Q] Is there a vibration absorber system for the Note 3 to be used as a Dash Cam?

I am starting to record my driving every time I get in the car. I'm just using the camera app but I might switch to a dedicated car dash cam app.
My friend was recently hit in the front of her car. It was totally the other guy's fault but he's claiming that she went into his lane, which is utter BS. Anyway, long story short, a lot of our friends are going to start recording our driving, esp since we all have 64gb micro SD cards anyway...may as well put that storage to good use!
I'm really happy with the results of the recorder except one major issue is that the video is really shaky even though I have it attached to a mount on the windshield.
Is there any way to dampen or absorb the vibrations of the car so the recording can be more clear?

Try the video stabilization in camera settings

I tried that, it makes no noticeable difference.

I've considered doing this a number of times but the thought of using my phone as a cam while a nice dual use feature, it not really that practical. I am also afraid it would get damaged way too easily for that type of purpose when a second device which is desiged to do it will do it better, be a lot more rugged and capable.
I am getting a Drift Innovation HD Ghost for this purpose. They actually make a much less expensive one that does 720 which is more than enough for dash cam usage, but the HD Ghost has a DVR like mode which records over the same memory device automatically and easily saves an incident with the click of a button for later playback. Still a lot of money, but it would keep the phone being my phone and do a much better job at recording the vehicle in motion.

I tried it and 60fps makes no difference.
