Is it just me or does it seem like the Note 4 camera app is imposing a sort of tilt shift effect on every photo?

This appears to be happening on every single photo I take... even after the latest update. I'm using stock settings on the stock camera app in auto mode.

That's just the depth of field effect you get from having a wide aperture. A wide aperture means more light hitting the sensor, but a narrower depth of field (only objects near the focal point will be in focus). It usually means the part you're focusing on will be sharper and brighter though. I prefer this look as it's closer to what you get with an actual camera. Haven't played much with the camera or settings, but if you can manually adjust the aperture (bigger f number means smaller aperture) you'll get more in focus but potentially less sharp in low light due to longer exposures. Everything in photography is a trade off between exposure time and depth of field.

Thought I'd have a look at the quuality of the camera, compared to the Desire. Discovered that I have a problem with focus on the left side of the picture, and wondered whether anyone else has it.
3 photos, reduced using the same method. Canon (for reference), DHD and Desire:

Now, we can look at 1:1 crops to examine the quality:
You can see that stuff on the left is out of focus - this shot shows it well:
Finally, my phone is an early one with bad camera and sim cover alignment. Not sure if it matters, but here are close ups anyway. Anyone else with a left hand focus issue?
I can definitely see your point, I will test this on my DHD tomorrow.
i can just about see it, but honestly i would worry more about the over sharpening and terrible white balance on this phone. testing it earlier it gave my girlfriend the skin tone of a Simpson...
just took a shot outside, havnt changed any settings
I've just taken delivery of a DHD and have exactly the same left side focus problem. How did you resolve this - or you returned / replaced your unit?
weird. mine seems to be fine.
I was just reading the review of the SGS 4 on GSMArena for fun and came to see something weird (according to me). Maybe am just completely missing something.....any help would be good
My SGS 4 seemingly lacks the 360 panorama mode. but on the review, it indeed had the 360 panorama as a mode to choose from.
take a look at the screenshot of the different modes from the review.

also I quote from the review...
"Let's go over the different modes. There are standard modes like Rich Tone (HDR), Panorama, Night and Sports. Panoramas are pretty impressive, they go a full 360° circle or more and can be as big as 60MP (note that if you hold the phone vertically, the panorama image will have nearly more than twice the resolution). "
"Then we get into the more interesting shots. 360 photo is Samsung's name for Photo Sphere, which creates a spherical panorama, similar to those in Street View. "
am using wanamlite 1.8 with many many modifications of my own,but personally I have never ever seen that 360 panorama mode on my S4 ever. am using it for some 6 months or so....
awaiting answers, please don't bash

Anyone here who has both or had the chance to compare the Z3 and Note 4 in low light shots? And by compare I mean really going deep in the settings, going in to manual mode, adjusting exposure etc. The two most important thing for me on a phone is battery life and camera and I'm torn between the two. There are a lot of comparisons out there but I always see in the comments that the Z3 is in superior auto. I would like to have an honest comparison. I posted this here because I'm slightly favoring the note for now but not really enough to make the choice between the two.
Quick and dirty: I own both devices.
Note 4 beats the Z3 everywhere except GPS sensitivity and extreme lowlight photos.
Z3 camera overall quality is among the worst I've seen the last two years, in some situations even gets beaten by the S4's FRONT camera. No joke.

Note it's S4, not Note 4. Pictures taken with the Note 4 are even better than S4 shots, by far.
The camera on the Honor 8 Pro is full of really great features. Here's the most useful ones that I use.
Steady On Flash
Use Steady On Flash to keep the flash on while you arrange your shot. The flash will stay lit until you take your photo. This will help you preview how your image will look before you take the picture.

Wide Aperture Mode
Wide aperture mode is my favorite on the Honor 8 Pro. Take images of objects within 2 meters of your phone. Then drop out the background afterwards to get this effect.
Adjust FPS in Slo-mo Mode
Slo-mo mode is set to 120fps by default. If you swipe from the left side of your screen, you can bump up the frame rate to 240fps.
Use your Voice to Snap a Photo
Go hands free while your phone is setup on the tripod. Don't worry about setting a timer, just say "cheese" or make a loud noise to trigger the capture.
If you have any good camera tricks to share, post them in the comments.
Good one bro

Does anyone here suffer from heavy lens flare on Redmi Note 7?
I know sometimes lens flare happen when you take picture directly into light source. But I think this amount is too much and it's also has a weird shape.
So it is normal for Redmi Note 7 to has this kind of lens flare?

Rn7 don't have great optics, so it is expected. Camera sensor is ok, but whit out good optics pictures still will be average.

Nonsense. Nothing to do with that. This sometimes happens even with top of the line DSLR cameras. You're shooting into the sun!!!
Light can reflect off of the sensor (CMOS) and bounce back to the lens and back again to the sensor. Some cameras have up to 6 an more lenses!!!
This is not a defect of your phone. It’s just physics playing tricks on you. The lenses on this kind of cameras are so much compressed, reflections are impossible to avoid.
Even iPhone have the famous green dot... https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/9qznxm/iphone_xsxs_maxxr_glowing_green_dot_in_images/
