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

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?

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.

Several ads are claiming 0 shutter lag on the note 3, yet say it's the same camera as in the s4.
My s4 lags (like my s2 did). S3 strangley had no lag.
Can anyone confirm?
I've read a couple reports saying the s800 might be using a Samsung sensor and the exynos is probably using the same Sony sensor in gs4. Hasn't been proven but evidence has been given, just not confirmed yet.
Any lucky people got one now and can confirm?

So, if you take a single shot it's instantaneous, unlike the s4?
Good news if so, I guess they do use a different Sensor in the N3.

Have you played with an s4? Just wondering how it compares. I'm tempted by the note for a few reasons, the 32gb internal storage, the 3 gig ram, the s800, oh and the camera without lag
Might give my wife the s4 and get one

Just had a play with one in phones 4 u. Definitely not the same camera as the s4. 0 shutter lag indeed now to find one at a good price, may wait a month or so but prob end up buying one next week lol

This S4 camera lag thing has been driving me insane for the longest time.
I've got both the Galaxy S4 and the Note 3 ( octa versions ) and can confirm that there is no lag on the Note 3 like with the S4 camera,( takes 2 to 5 to 8 seconds to load sometimes ) and yes strangely the S3 doesn't have any lag either.
the Note 3 is BLAZING, even with all of the Sammy bloatware on it. :good:
Wish my S4 camera could run like this.(am using Perseus kernel , seems to have made the cam snappier on the S4 , will update after more testing )
Cheers.
From what I read when the s4 (i9505) was launched, the lag is due to a hardware design, something to do with the sensor/shutter speed. I don't think software could fix this or surely samsung would have by now.

Don't know about the I9505 but with the I9500 it seems to be a memory management issue( wrt how long the camera app takes to load after you hit the icon). If I clear the ram before launching the camera it opens up almost instantly. ( but we digress )
Sent from my GT-I9500
Ahh I think we are talking about 2 different issues. The lag I refer to is when you hit the take picture button. It's out of sync with the 'click' sound. The image on your screen changes by the time the picture has been taken. I seem to still get the actual picture I took in the end but it really bugs. The S3 and note 3 don't do it, S1,S2&S4 all do. I don't know if the note 1&2 do it too.

The processing of a photo takes about 3 seconds, is this normal for the note 3?
My old note 2 did not.
Thanks in advance

For me turning off the night stabilisation mode & setting auto flash made it better in low light places. Can't say I've had any issues with daylight photos.

maybe different setting
and maybe problem with ur variant and will solve by an update
and also it can be hardware problem in last step IF u become sure no software problem
so
1. play with settings
2. search for other users that exactly in same firmware with u and compare photo ...
3. if u find any different (bad quality in urs) try to flash another stock rom (from another regions)
4. if nothing change take it for service to check lens
:good:

The camera has Jeckel and Hyde characteristics.Outdoor shots are superb for a smartphone but when you venture indoor or at night,it takes pretty awful photos.Smart Stabalisation brightens things up and limits noise but you lose all detail.If you crop in, faces and objects look like cartoon drawings.There is only so much you can do with a small sensor so I think the N3 needs a dedicated night mode and better software.don't hold your breath though.Samsung will fix this issue up but only when the N4 arrives with their isocell technology.
If you want decent photos at night you need to use the flash but the flash doesn't work well past 10 ft.
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.
