hey, i just got a att 8525 and i'm wondering if there is a fix or what are the settings you guys use to get the most out of this camera.
thank you.
I don't really use the camera that much. It's OK in a pinch, where I might just need a quick snapshot of something that doesn't require much detail, sharpness, or image quality.
Considering the tiny nobrand lens, the always-loose macro switch, the unusable (except as a flashlight, thank you VJay) LED Flash, and the tiny 2MP CCD sensor ... I don't thinnk you're going to be in competition with Ansel Adams anytime soon.
When I need to do serious photography, I have a dSLR for that.
No fix or settings that I can think of are going to make the camera anything more than it is, a cellphone camera (and note that the word CELLPHONE comes first).

Wow, just how BAD are your pictures coming out? Are you trying to shoot in daylight or is the lighting very dim? Are you sure you're setting the camera up to produce 2MP shots? Or are you stuck on burst mode or something?
I mean, I don't USE the camera for much, but I feel I'm getting what it's capable of doing? Attached are a couple of shots I have taken. They aren't very good, but they aren't totally unusable.
What kind of results are you getting?

I found that using Cool Camera yielded me much better pictures. The settings are much easier to change and the lag between clicking the trigger and the actual picture popping up is much quicker.
Not only that, but Cool Camera enables the LED as a proper flash, not just a flashlight that you have to keep turning on. Click the trigger, the flash fires off, picture is taken, more like a proper camera.

It's the second file, CoolCamera v1.15.
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.
I don't know if its just me but I find the cam on the HD to be worse then the desire. I guesting with a better cam the HD must need some settings changed or an update. If I am taking any pictures of a person that moves in the slightest it will always blur. Also when taking video an times when I look back at it the video stops then caches up again. Any tips or advice welcome.

the laggy video has been dealt with my formatting the SD card to a 32k cluster size. see the main problems thread.
and i agree this camera is poor. my n96, n95, and even my 3.2mpx k800 take better pictures. not a lot you can do other than only take pictures in optimal lighting.
If you adjust sharpness to -2 or so, brightness +2, don't use "Auto" white balance & correctly set ISO depending on you situation, you can take excellent pictures.
Using "Auto" for all the setting or the "Defaults" will result in a sub-standard picture. Test & Adjust.

what did you change it to? and what conditions were you in? I find all the options apart from auto give weird coloration when in semi good lighting conditions.

Well i tried sharpness -2 and +2 because in a differed thread they say use +2
Not sure yet which one is better
and i set the white balance to incandescent, which looks nice to me.
and set satuarion to +1
ISO to 800 or auto
Auto focus off (use tap to focus)
I'm in the office btw.
Could you please give me a link to the main problems thread in regards to blured video and formatting the SD card. I can't find it. Thanks.

You'll have to mess with the camera and its settings manually to find a good way yourself. Simply there isnt a simple solution to this sadly. The S5 Camera doesnt take in much light in dark conditions which is a con to it. You could try setting the ISO to its hightest setting in dark conditions as a starter.

Don't go around asking people to thank you, especially if your going to give outstandingly dull and boring reply's like that.
I found if you have the photo setting Picture Stablistion on it tends to blur the photo on the edges you get much clearer photos with it off as I think it tries to take the photo without the flash in low light if you have that setting switched on. Hope this helps.
-Turn on Picture Stabilization unless there is movement in the picture than keep it off and instead use sport mode.
-Turn Up ISO
-Use the flash depending on the conditions.

Anyone else??
Any people find optimal settings for indoor/low light pics? Or perhaps another camera app that takes better low light/indoor pictures than the stock TouchWiz camera app?

Not sure if this helps, but I tried Camera Zoom FX to ease my front camera low-light woes, and it did indeed help a bit if you play around with the settings. There was much less noise than with the stock camera app. I didn't try it with the rear camera however.

Well I just use Snapchat for front facing pics (in low light conditions) because it has the cool feature of flash on the front camera! I wish Sammy would implement that into the Stock TouchWiz camera app.
Is anyone planning to make a camera mod for this phone?
The camera app itself is great, but I really want to have access to a denoise/noise reduction setting, if possible. It bothers me how much noise reduction this phone applies, and I'd love to be able to at least disable it, if not adjust its intensity.
I honestly have no idea how I could go about making my own, since I have no experience there, so I figured I'd ask if someone with experience is thinking about making something.

I tried my usual choices: FV-5, Open, Google, but none removed the reduction.
Shoot RAW. That removes the noise reduction and everything else and then you can try to apply on your own. So far, I haven't seen any decent noise reduction apps though.

RAW is great and all, but it's really inconvenient. I have it turned on, but I don't want to have to pull the file up in Lightroom to edit every time I take a photo.
try Open Camera... that usually gives me the best photos regardless of phone

I did. Noise reduction persists.
I'm not really looking for an alternative. I'm fine waiting; I'm fine if I have to live with the noise reduction. My question was just if someone is planning to make a mod.
How To shoot in RAW?
I couldn't find any options to do it.

It's an option you need to turn on in the settings. It'll give you a JPG and a DNG.

Hi!
Have you found a way to tweak the noise reduction applied in the stock camera? It's driving me nuts - the pictures are less sharp than my LG G4.
Thanks

Like I said, you have to use RAW capture in Manual Mode. You can use Lightroom Mobile to edit and convert to JPG.

Well, that will take a bit more effort that I wanted.
Have you tried other camera apps? I'm trying Google camera and Bacon Camera but still haven't reached a conclusion in comparison with the stock camera.

I can look into the camera app to see if maybe there's some multiplier it's using for NR (maybe even add an option to set in Settings.Global), but I don't know how successful I'll be.

That would be awesome. I'm trying other apps but the results aren't better than the stock camera - most of them look a little worse. Maybe it's the sensor that is not that great.

It would be nice to try a port of the new camera app from the V30. Maybe it improves the image a bit.

+1. there was someone doing a port of it over to the LG G6, but with no plans of making it work with the V20 and unfortunately it does not work at all on the V20.

Have tried a lot of camera apps with no success. They all have some excessive noise reduction applied. I've already tried open camera - it doesn't seem to make a great difference.
Maybe the noise reduction is applied at kernel or camera libraries level.
