[Q] Doubt about camera - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love everything about my s4 except one thing. Have you ever noticed that the S4 camera is like if already had a zoom? I don't know very well how to explain it but when my friends with other devices take a picture from the same point than me, their pics look like more wide, and my pictures look like if they had been zoomed a bit. That bothers me a bit cuz sometimes I don't have enough space for group pictures or any other else and I must step back a little bit more than other to get the same picture.
Does this happens also with your s4 devices? Or I might be the only one experiencing this 'issue'?
Sincerely,
Fernando

Camera problems

Hi,
Been using various itje roms since i got my phone (but 8 months ago) I noticed after I put on the touch vista rom that my camera was taking awful pictures. I dont think it should be rom related, I just tried the touch 7 rom and it was the same. I prefer the vista one so ive gone back to that. Is it worth going back to an official release and trying ?
Ive gone through all the settings, its on 2MP shooting to sd card, on single shot mode (all modes including video have the same look) Ive checked all the settings i can think of. Whitebalance is auto. Effect is None. Quality is 2M (1600X1200) Fine.
Ill attach a picture to show you. I really hope it is software based and not the camera itself. Phone has been well looked after so it really should not be damaged. Externally it looks fine.

honestly i would try touch it 4 and see what happens
but when you say it takes horrible pics is it blurred like give us a discription
I included a picture which I thought was fairly self explanitory. The pics look like they have been posterised. The colors are separating distinctly, almost like its working with a limted colour set.
well it could be that the connection from the camera to the phone is a bit outta place but dont quote me lol
i work for motorola XD

magic with 5 megapixel camera to be released in US ? !

oooooooo I like. Too bad there's no hard keyboard.... :sadface:
No, that picture is fake and has been photoshopped. I just zoomed in 400% onto the image, try it yourself and you will quickly see how.
Wow you are correct.. But I will take the rom thank you very much.
Hahaha of course how is the ROM anyway? Would you recommend it, is it stable for everyday use? I use my G1 a lot so I need it to be stable
I use mine everyday, I use maps and phone most of the day while I work, I depend on my phone at work. So I recomend.

I got it from orginal website. It has been approved by fcc for release in US and i don't have a photoshop and also i dont know how to use it
anyone else notice the new battery? perhaps with the 1.5 firmware and this battery, it will last longer?
I went to HTC's website and did not see that picture, more over the HTC Magic is EXCLUSIVE to Vodaphone. They have already said this phone will not be coming to the US. I'm not saying you photoshopped it, someone else did. Again, simply zoom into the phone and look at the T Mobile bezel and 5MP bezel, its pretty obvious.

Real bad picture quality plz help

Hi there,
I have a problem with the picture quality.
this is what I get when I take a picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, It looks like it has a real low bit setting.
I have these wierd colors when i'am about to take a picture, and have them when I video record. and as you can see, also when I take the picture.
some info:
HTC HD2 with Artemis V8.0 Co0kie home tab 1.61
Cam settings to 5Mp super fine, wide screen off, cleane lens.
all other settings are default.
plz help me to get this fixed.
watsup man,
I am having the same issue but for me i just realized when reading your post.. its only been bad since i enabled "Superfine in camera setting.. im gonna try and see with my hd2 if it makes the difference. i recommend the same for you.
Hope it helps
Have you installed anything regarding changing the camera settings besides the regular settings?

Maybe Artemis has default changes.

If that does fix the jub a 100% shure, than I will.
Will Artemis V14.0 be fine? or is there a better one then?
but lets first try other options.

Screen banding (vertical lines)?

I was just wondering if any other owners noticed that the Nexus S has considerable more vertical banding than their previous handset.
My previous phone was a Vibrant and the Nexus seems much worse? Like when you pull the notification bar down you can see the vertical bands against the dark background or if you look at the background of the Gallery. It's very noticeable so I'm wondering if my phone is the only one like this or if it is a common issue with this phone?
Errr take a picture :S
Sounds like stuff related to pentile, and Nexus S not having the mDNIe part of the Super AMOLED screen, compared to other Galaxy S phones.
I saw the same thing...but its the touchwiz gallery has inhancements that make it look better.....watch on your vibrant pic an image side by side with your nexus....watch how when you click on the image it looks just like the nexus dose then it inhaces it where the ribbons dissopear....I've done it so I know...try it out
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Noticed the same thing on my Samsung Focus.
It may just be the image quality of your picture, but mine is not nearly as bad as that. In fact mine is hardly even noticeable.
I exchanged mine with another one. The banding on my first one was more noticeable than the picture in this thread. The new has it a little bit but it is much clearer.

Camera effects

Hi guys!
As I said before, I come from a very large list of Xperia phones xD, and one of the things I miss more is the "selective color" effect, mainly to get photos like this ones
You pick a object in the screen, and just shows the color of that thing (and all the things with that color) and every other thing is in gray scale, first picking blue
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then green
U know if there's an app in the samsung camera that can do something like that? there is a effect called "Orange Kiss" but only shows orange/red things and can't be modified, so that one nope
If can't be in samsung camera, another app that u know that can be make something similar?
thanks in advance guys!
I think the Camera360 app has the selective color capability. You can check it out.

Thanks dude!
I found it, is called Magic Color filter, it does almost the same but on a predeterminated "effects" (U can't select the object u want), is good but not as Sony's, hope somebody else knows another one, but this is good too, thanks bro!
Anyone knows if using a different camera software will make lower quiality photos? I mean, I don't think samsung let another apps use their software process.....
