Camera issues - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Anyone encountered the above in the pictures?

Screenshot Please
Attached the sample pic. Not sure whether it was the Iso settings (set to 800) and/or lighting conditions.
But some of the photos in took hv no issues.

looks like interference due to light conditions! try another lightsource...
in some cam apps you can adjust this by setting the 50 or 60HZ compensation, the stock cam of the note does not show such an option, maybe it tries to do this automatically and this fails in your case!
I have the same prob.. Think its a software issue..hope there will be fix to this prob

Ok. I hv taken another 2 more shots using ISO settings set to auto and 800.
As you can see that the pic with the blue lines are using ISO800 settings.
The other pic taken using ISO Auto have no issues.
Hence, I suspect its due to the camera software.
Anyone have any idea or solutions using any software to correct the affected pics?

[Q] Lower flash brightness

Is there any way to lower how bright the flash is when taking a picture? Are there any settings within the stock camera app or is there an aftermarket camera that does this? Using filters to darken the picture works ok but it sucks seeing good pictures ruined by how bright they ended up. Really disappointed with the camera on the Nexus 4 especially coming from the HTC Amaze and even my wife's SG2 does a better job.
Turn down the exposure to -1?

That did help and even went as low as -2. Thanks

Camera functionality?

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.

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.

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.
