I just noticed lat night the back camera lense has a plastic film with a circular whole in it. I think it is to prevent the lense from being scratched without distorting pictures during demos.

the plastic have a circular cut, does it cause any problem in the midle of the camera? i dont think so.. z3 have a lot of this problem. any difference without a plastic film?

I'm getting a bright spot in the upper left hand corner of my photos (with the home button to the right) whenever I use the 8M night shot mode. I don't see it when I use 16:9 OR use other photo modes. It looks like as if the exposure is off in the corner. For example, if I take a photo of the moon in the sky, there would be the bright spot of the moon, with a second bright spot in the corner. Is this normal or some software bug?
You mind to upload a photo having the issue?

First two photos are taken using Night Mode with the slight color discoloration in the upper left hand corner, however, the first photo taken in 4:3 shows more discoloration compared to the 16:9 second photo. The last photo is taken with the night mode off for comparison.

I wish, its even worse for some other photos as it throws the color off for more colorful pictures taken at night.
Bright spot
It looks like some sort of internal reflection from inside the camera unit or edge around the lens (either external or internal). If it is then the problem would get worse the longer the exposure of the shot and/or higher ISO.
It explains why the picture with the night mode off isn't as bad as I suspect either the exposure was shorter or the ISO setting lower, hence the change in sensitivity to light.
If it is an internal reflection there's not much you can do about it other than changing/repairing the phone under warranty.

I believe your theory is spot on. As I tried taking a video at a live concert and i would have a glare spot in the exact same spot from the strobe lights. I'm just wondering if this problem is persistent across different units or its just mine before I go for a repair. I don't want to have to buy new screen protectors again.
I've just discovered something very interesting about the S3 camera -its ability to use very -and i mean VERY high shutter speeds. I first noticed it in the EXIF data of a shot taken into a misty sun...a shutter speed of 1/10,000th second..so I decided to experiment a little to see what the shortest shutter speed the camera was capable of. I first took a close up photo of 250w infrared bulb filament with the bulb on. The result? A clear picture of the filament at 1/55,000th of a second! The highest I've seen so far is an only slightly overexposed closeup shot of the emitting surfaces of a 5w LED bulb straight on at 1/199,680th of a second!!. That's 1/200,000th of a second!!
This must be near a record for any consumer camera...now to find a use for it Filament photos becme a little boring after a while......

Picture
Note the almost black LED surround in reality is too bright to see properly by eye, the LEDs are just a blaze of brightness, not discernible by eye. Check the EXIF data for exposure.

You don't have any noise in your picture. How come? :-o
I want my Canon EOS 550 to do that (no more NDs needed)

I've never noticed much noise in my S3 camera, besides at the reduced size of the images you wouldn't see noise anyway. If you're getting what you feel is 'noise' have you made sure your camera lens covering glass is scrupulously clean?
(BTW before the noise debate rises again I have a Sony module camera in my S3, my wife's S3 has a Samsung camera module and appears to have about the same noise level as noise as mine -both are excellent for such a small sensor)
nokia n8 camera can also do that for you...better than s3 i suppose!

Here's the original shot that triggered my interest (full sized) taken with my wife's Samsung camera module S3. Not too bad for noise I think, check the clouds -the unresolved distant gravel and mist droplets look like noise but aren't.

Yeah, I agree. It's a brilliant shot with minimal amount of noise. The S3 does indeed have an excellent camera but it doesn't perform in medium to low light conditions as expected. For example, my friends and I went to a somewhat dimly lit restaurant. Let's say it was just above low light conditions. The camera took rather blurry pictures (as expected of moving subjects in low light conditions) and there was a large amount of noise in the picture.
I've attached the picture (it is cropped a bit at the top). You can see a large amount of noise on the blue table.
Actually, I wonder if the "party/indoor" scene in the camera might have resolved this issue. It seems to be doing quite a fine job on dark indoor pictures right now. Hmmm...
Really???

Hey come on now, that's low light.and I'd call the amount of noise totally reasonable for a high ISO, low light shot. The level of noise is way below the resolution of the photo..i.e.the noise is sharp the image isn't from camera shake. You're expected a lot from a phone camera. I've been a photographer for 40 years...from long before digital cameras and I'm very happy with the performance of my S3 in low light..I think it's nothing short of marvelous for a phone camera!
Samsung could have easily included more noise reduction for high ISO shots, but it would have reduced resolution, its always a trade off.
If you're worried about noise check out Noise Ninja..(for PC) with it you can select your own trade offs between visible noise and resolution on any given image.

Ah, okay. lol. Well, I suppose I have high expectations because I've been using a DSLR a lot for the past few weeks.
I just took a few more outdoor sunlight shots and they're brilliant! So, no big gripes with the camera.

how about the possibility that the EXIF data might be wrong? how else can you verify the true speed with what the EXIF says? shoot a hummingbird in mid flight?

Firstly experience tells me it's very bright...after all 1/200,000th @ F2.6 is roughly the same as 1/6000 @ f16 which is about 35 times brighter than full sunlight on a 18% gray card...that seems reasonable.given that it's looking right into a very bright light.
Second, I then metered it with my DSLR and got 1/8000th @ F22 at 100 ISO which equates to 1/256,000 @ F4 which is close enough for me.to the S3's overexposure at 1/200,000th @ F2.6 at ISO80
So I think it's both using a real 1/200,000th, and writing the EXIF data correctly.

Why in any photo i take there are this blue dots ?
ps. Sorry for my bad language!
Undervolted?
Yes!
Do you have any kind of case or protection on the back that is covering up the camera lens? Even if it is transparent, it could be causing reflections on the lens elements. It will definitely be more pronounced when taking a picture of a direct light source, like the light bulb here.
If you do have a case, remove it and take the same picture again. Post some more examples, if you can, full resolution. :good:

Hello, I have this problem for a while. My phone is taking really bad pictures under fluorescent light (see the 1st pic). To solve this I have applied "tootpaste solution" which removed the AF filter from camera lens, because pictures were all blurry and brighter but it did not help. However the only solution is to covr the head of my phone like a cap. (see the 2nd pic)
Now the question is whether I have to change my rear camera or lens protector to solve this. Thanks for your answers.
Phone is full stock?
did you try to change the white balance in the camera app for taking pictures under flourescent light?

This is my second week with this unit and it's awesome so far! Took some time for the battery life to get up to par, but got that sorted out and now it's a beast!...like the title suggests though, I do have a question about the ultra wide camera. Can someone try going into a dark room, covering the camera lens when the ultra wide camera is activated, and see if you notice light bleed on the view finder when in 3:4 aspect ratio and no filter on? I notice slight light leakage onto the screen if you look around the edges of the viewfinder. You don't have to cover the lens because it is noticeable in really low indoor light conditions or if the room is extremely dark. The other two lens under the same conditions seem fine. It's not a deal breaker or anything, nor will I return the phone, just wondering if anyone else notice. It's very slight. In decent to good light conditions, you don't notice it at all. And I will say that it doesn't show on pics at all. This is just my OCD kicking in lol. The cameras are actually the best I've used on a phone!
I decided to take a screen shot. Take a look at the upper left hand side. Do you see the light leak? With the other camera lens, the viewfinder is pitch black to match the pitch black scene. If indoors and the light conditions are bad, you'll see the distortion on the viewfinder, but the pic will turn out perfect. Only if you do motion picture do you see it a bit. Anyone have this or an explanation? Definitely not enough for me to return the device, but just wondering if it's normal? Zoom into the photo I attached and you'll see it at the top left.
No one can quickly try this and confirm?
Do you have a camera protector applied?

No, no protector applied. When I called Samsung, the rep told me it's normal and her unit does the same. I still don't know. But if you tested in a dark room and you don't get it, that means not every unit has it.
