[Q] camera quality and the built in modes help

ok so i like photography and iv had many samsung phones s2,s3,note2,s4,note3 never really had a problem with the camera i decided to take the plunge and get the iphone5s used it for 8 weeks and thought shove your restrictions up your bottom so got the galaxy s5
i started using the camera on the s5 and noticed the pictures were slightly smoothed i made sure the mode was on auto but it always seems to give that smooth blurry edge to the images especialy portraits so im guessing the auto mode is still choosing to add blur from the beauty mode.. i dont want any of samsungs effects i just want the straight image but there seems to be no option to switch the modes off.. my wife has the iphone 5c so i compared the pictures and the iphone phone camera kills the galaxy s5 for sharpness and realistic colours. which im kinda disapointed by. also the samsungs s5 front camera distorts your face and body pretty bad as well as producing very noisy images indoors..
my point... is there a way to switch of the modes on the s5 camera... is there a fix for the front camera distortion(who wants a wide angle lens on a front facing camera anyway) video calls suck and so do selfies.

You can try like so - switch on the camera, choose the front facing one - tap on mode button - scroll down to "manage modes".
There you can either switch on or off all the modes you like - if you untick all then you should have this mode disabled for the pictures.
Check if it works in the long run. Good luck
Cheers!

focus problem

hello! it's just me in the camera does not allow me to focus in the whole left side of the screen? I'll explain when I press to focus on the entire central and right out the circle of focus come and so the image is focused, while on the left, across the strip below the key settings, if I press does nothing and the circle of focus doesen't appear.I have deleted the cache of the camera and does the same problem, while other cameras like the google cam work correctly .I haven't problem to touch because it works well on any app and also in test mode. it's the same for all the note 4? also you have this problem?How i can solve it?
sorry for my veeery bad english

No one?

It seems that you can only touch to focus in the center and just beyond the center of the frame - not near those buttons. This appears very much by design, and I'm sure Sammy wanted to avoid people accidently pressing buttons when they wanted to refocus - if you need to focus on something on the edge of the screen, bring the object to the middle of your viewfinder, press and hold (to lock focus) and re-frame the shot.

Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus

Camera problems, please help !

Hey guys !
I just got my S5 G900F and i noticed that camera stability is really bad. When i shake my phone without taking a shot, the picture on the screen is really slow. It is like when you don't turn on Anti-Shake option on S3. I guess there is a problem with digital stabilization of the camera. Are all S5 cameras slow like this, and so shaky ? Even when I move the phone slowly the picture is shaky. Is there a way to fix it if this is not normal ?
Thanks in advance !

H871 camera on the back clicks when pressed

Hi all, just got my hands on a new 871, and today after taking some pictures I decided to clean the cameras on the back. For some reason the one on the right clicks when I press it gently. Is that intended or it is a flaw on my end?
Thanks for all replies
P. S What's the default settings or recommended to use on video or picture mode? I've noticed 13mp mode comes with 4:3 ratio for some reason.
