Experienced flasher here. I'm on Liquid Smooth 2.9 and when I take pictures they look fine. But on the screen, it looks really crappy. I guess it's the viewfinder? It seems as though the picture quality would be terrible but it turns out okay. Anyone know what's up with that?

Any picture I ever take has this annoying black dot in the exact center of the camera. I took off the case to see if it was something on the lens and from what I can tell there isn't. I've tried clean wipes and everything and at this point I'm just frustrated, so hopefully someone can tell me that this is some weird setting that I'm not finding.
Here is an example of a picture that has the dot show up. If it matters, it shows up when recording video as well.

(New Account so I had to split up the .c om. Just put it togeter as a link for an example image.)

...maybe a dumb question, but is it on the case?
haha, nope not on the case either. IF it's not a technical or software issue it's inside the lens itself, which is pretty much impossible from what I can see. I don't see anywhere that anything could get to it.
Wow, that has got to suck, and just be plain annoying.
I'm not much on hardware, but can cameras die just like LCD screens? How an LCD screen will get a dead pixel, can cameras do the same?
Has anyone else noticed that the screen doesn't always work when it is layed down flat on a surface. Was just wondering why that is.
For me it works fine but some times it lags, i think it's just a software bug. but what i can tell you that this screen has really bad ghosting effect, i remember like on those PSP's, ghosting really notices whit black color

+1 ghosting with anything black on lighter background is really really bad on this screen, i've never seen it this bad anywhere before tbh! but tbh i dont take much notice of it while i'm mid-game in action in a really good game, so not so much an issue.
Hey guys, so does anyone of you know how to get a those warm pictures like you get them on the iPhone? Yeah I know, some of you think the iPhone pics look over saturated or too warm. But I like that.
Does anyone know an app how to get those warm iPhone like pictures on the S4? It has an awesome camera and I'd love to see it take warmer pics
Good question

Have you played around with all the modes yet? If not, I'd say experiment and see if one of the preset modes will fill the bill for you.
just tested out the front facing camera and was really surprised with the quality, or lack there of. My skin looks almost airbrushed and the photos look soft and somewhat grainy. Honestly the front cam on my gs4 has significantly more detail(compared them side-by-side under the same conditions). Does anyone else see the front cam this way or is there something up with mine? Maybe it's intentional to make people's faces look airbrushed? If so I'm not a fan :/
You need to turn off the "Beauty Face" option.
Oh wow. Now I feel like a noob. Thanks!
User error.
There's also a rear camera selfie mode that works ok (no flash though?). Also be sure to take the plastic off the rear camera. I could barely tell it was there so i would understand if people missed it.

anyone know how to turn off burst shot ? cant find it anywhere
grainy front facing camera and other things
I just got a brand new Galaxy Note 4 and my front facing camera is super grainy and blurry and its missing a ton of the cool settings the note 4 is famous for. I just found out that its because the phone is a really good Chinese knock off! It explains a lot of the major issues ive been having lately like the terrible lag,the crashing of the browser at every use, motion and gesture settings cant be activated and so many other things like it wont download certain apps or wont connect to certain networks. Just thought id let anyone know who has been having similar issues.
I just got my 6P today and overall it's a fantastic phone. Performance is great, beautiful display (nice and bright), loud speakers - but when I opened Snapchat to record a video, I noticed the scene warped a bit when I was moving the camera. I then opened the camera app and noticed the same thing. It stuttered a bit too, but the bottom part kind of warped like a gold-fish eye effect.
Anyone else experience this?

It is a side effect of the EIS. It keeps the video smooth but gives a "jello" like effect sometimes. I am assuming Google plans to tweak the stabilization in the future to reduce this effect.

Like someone else mentioned, this is what EIS does. Basically it crops the video slightly to help compensate for shake and jitters. It's a good feature but I wish it was possible to disable it. I don't like how it crops videos in snapchat.
