Hi all... are there any plans to improve the camera at all on the note iii? I heard somewhere that they were going to improve macro focus to some degree. I just find that I can't take pics of anything moving unless we are outside in brilliant sunlight. Even sports mode isn't a big help. Tripod helps.. but it's still blurry to some degree.
When I do get a shot just right it's amazing. Clarity is something else with this camera when you mail or just right.

I'm not sure. I feel you about them low light/fast moving pictures. But like you said, with the right amount of light, the Note 3 takes gorgeous pictures!

Have you tried burst shot? Turn it on it settings and just hold the shutter button down.

Anyone else noticed the camera shutter speed and focus issues since the JB update?
I use to be able to take fast, focused snaps. It takes seriously longer to get a good crisp shot.
Any pointers?

I haven't noticed that issue. Are you on stock or custom ROM?
I'm on Omega JB ROM.
I'm stock all the way. Have had my JB for about a week, played with all the camera settings & it still sucks!

I can see your point about the focus issue but the shutter speed seems similar to me.
Me To, i'm on ARHD 13 and the foucs got quite slow.
on ICS it was perfect

I think the S3 camera is Ok, but just so... OK... nothing special.
I think my neo takes better pictures by far...

Really? I think the S3 takes some of the best pictures out of most android devices.
I'm getting very blurry pictures even with anti shake enabled and also poor focusing

I have tested with s2 S3 and neo on big TV and the neo pictures where sharper. The only thing that was good was filming with full HD. But get the same results from s2.

I'm using completely stock.
Noticed setting storage type back to phone from SD fixed the lag. Think it needs a defrag somehow.

Although it doesnt help you. I actually found the camera to be much better in JB. Most of my shots previous would either not focus or blur and the only way I could get a decent shot was to use the Best Shot feature. Now it snaps well each time.
I hope we get the PhotoSphere in the 4.1.2 update that looks ace!
Camera is not worse. Its more grainy for videos thats what i noticed. But i prefer it that way. More noise and looks like blu-ray video. I can use deblock later if i wanna edit the file

Check out pro capture in the play store, its a much better alternative. Which is a shame because its obviously not the hardware thats letting this phone down.

Have you made sure your lense is clean?
For the Price Samsung could do better. You have Xperia s with 12 MP and good lens. For a top device. ..

I didn't notice that , i am update to JB from 2 days to UAE version and it's doing great and nothing happened in the camera speed or focus .

Is it just me or does this camera have issues adjusting to light?
It seems like my camera struggles unless its in direct sun light.. Is this an issue?
I'll attach a picture with decent lighting not The best

I found that setting the Metering from the Default Center Weighted to Matrix helps A LOT, at least it did in my case. Give that a try.
Can anyone explain to me why all the reviews for the camera and pictures I see from others note seem to be amazing yet all I seem to get is grainy images am I missing something?

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.
Anyone else noticing that when not in PERFECT lighting conditions pictures are blurry..
Yes - it's been driving me crazy... most of the time the pictures come out blurry. I've been messing around with different modes/settings and I cannot get a consistent clear picture. Pretty frustrating!
Take the sticker off the lense?

Yes, absolutely notice this. Brought it up in the other thread but no one thought it was worth checking. Have done tons of side by sides with Note 2 and honestly this camera is very touchy. Has a tiny field and it's often hard to see where that is in the pics. I really hope the camera gets a software update and it's not hardware because the camera has been the only thing I'm on the fence about. When you zoom in, even in good light, things in the taken pic get blurry and almost look like they have an effect.

Also, noticed right away. I thought maybe that I was just sleepy! lol, but what are the odds of a software update helping the issue?

Hopefully this new update that no one else seems to have gotten will help!!
Additionally, I feel that many times the camera has trouble focusing. Anyone else agree?

once i turned picture stabilazation off mine takes perfect pics
I tried turning mine off but seems the same.
Pictures in bright env. seem fine but indoors just flat out sucks.
I can hold my hand a little away from the camera a bit and it won't focus on it. If I tap to make it focus it sometimes turns green like it did but my hand is still blurry.
I hope they push a SW fix soon.
I don't understand it. How can you not catch some of this before release? Camera is a basic function of a smart phone...

Turn off image stabilization n see if that helps... dont think it has an effect on blurryness tho

May be an obvious question but has anyone tried some good 3rd party camera apps to see if it helps? Just a thought.

One thing I noticed with a Note 3: The auto-shake correct seems to do this. Try turning that off and it seemed to improve the quality.
Yeah I have this problem too, and just made a thread about it in the Q&A forum.

I really hope a update comes out to fix all this and it's not just poor HW :/
It's just sad that these basic obvious issues make it out the door.
They should have caught these things and I understand shipments went already but we should have had updates just waiting for us to fix em.
Oh well, time shall tell I guess. Sprint won't help I'm sure given how slow they are to push updates too...
Anyone mess with any video? How's that, clear, blurry mixture mess? lol
That prob has ability to be better or worse I guess. You've got 1080P mode and 4K HD, which when enabled seems to kill off a number of features.
I've not messed with it yet but just wondering.

You do realize Sprint is the best carrier in terms of updates.Just an FYI...
I simply dont get very good pictures in anything that isn't natural full daylight. Not necessarily blurry, just extremely grainy. But thats rather expected with most smartphones.

Im coming over from an iPhone 5 and noticed this immediately. The camera just flat out sucks!
My camera had a habit of switching to 6 mega pixels on its own for some reason. I have to constantly check to make sure it's still on 16 when I use it.

And increase the noise to unbearable levels in the process.......
You're trying to use a sensor that's essentially made from the leftover waste of a sensor plate. You can't expect anything more than crude quality from it. It's normal.

You've both got it set to Auto mode? Because that way the phone decides what settings to use, causing a difference between devices.
