Took my N4 out last night for Halloween and once it got dark the camera automatically turned on night mode. This mode sucks cause it has to process pics and tells you to hold still while processing. I could not turn it off. Did I miss the setting?

I took a few pictures in the dark, or in low light, and not only are the picture phenomenally good, the "hold still" only took about 1/2 second. If you wanted to turn it off, disabling picture stabilization would be what you would need to do, i already had this problem on the S5 but i don't see the option here, also dont expect OIS to do its job if you turn that off
Here's one I took....I was still as possible..
Nice!! Here is one i took yesterday night

Maybe you have a problem because all my low light pictures look crisp and the "hold still" last less than 1/2 second. I know on the S5 it could last a few seconds.
I'll just use the flash. I rarely take night shots. During the day the shots look good.

Well I hope your experience is more common because I don't like the sound of not being able to turn off all these processing that makes taking pics longer.
I am in the market for a Note 4, returned my Note 3 for a Note 2 because low light sucked. It looks like the Not.e 4 is an improvement but this night mode thing, based on my searching, it doesn't appear to be problematic for people?
Did you ever own a Note 2 and Note 3 and can you comment on how good the night pics are compared to Note 4?

Do you guys experience the same ? Pictures are not sharp, colors are mixed up.
only in darker rooms. outside with sun pictures are looking quite well.
look here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/29/htc-trophy-review/
Horrible quality.
As usual with HTC... always these "orange-pink blurry" images.
Nothing compared to the great Omnia 7 camera unfortunately.
Quality is indeed very bad:
Here's a picture taken with my Trophy:
http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8599/wp000050.jpg
You can cleary see the pink/orange circle in the middle.
I hope they put a better camera in this when it comes across the pond to the us. I don't care about mp I want better quality
Yeah camera quality is quite awful. subpar when outside and when inside it's just horrible.
On another note are any of you noticing the 'GSM radio' sounds on video files you've recorded with the device?

i was in quite cloudy conditions and photos still looked good. i think it's just night shots or dark places that it falls over.

Too much noise. They are OK for a low budget phone, but I don't think that the Trophy is low budget (at least I payed more than 200€!)
Thanks for sharing
I'am having the same issue, only outside with clear weather it makes nice pictures. Also the flashlight is horrible, if you try to make a picture of a person it will always look away from the camera
I'm thinking of getting a trophy but I'm really put off by this pinky orange circle issue - does everybody experience this? Is it a hardware issue or could it be fixed by a future update?
Cheers
I have the red colorisation in the centre of the image also, not too fussed as I never use the phone to take pictures I use my Canon D450, if its that important that you need to use the camera for images then you can fix them images in Lightroom.
I got my HTC 7 trophy (australian stock) and think the camera is outstanding. Definitely the best non-iPhone camera phone I've used. Don't understand what all the fuss is about, really.
I have one and the camera is like my old htc p3600 in outsides when I use the flash the quality of the photo is bad with too much noise and blur.
I hope it is a software poblem and MS correct that in a future version!
I'm using Note 4 Duos N9106W. Its camera is not perfect but ok.
Here the problem of my friends. Some of them face this problem with N910C model. How about you?
Condition: daylight and indoor!

It is well known problem of Samsungs, starting from Galaxy S II if I remember correctly.
It is hardware issue, difficult to remove due to lens build.
I've been in Sonoma this week for a wedding. I've taken over 250 pictures in every possible lighting condition. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera. Really low light isn't great but it's better than other Samsung phones. Low light can still get you some impressive results.
Macro shots are impressive too.
I'm sorry you're having an issue but it's definitely not universal.
It is visible in plain scene mostly, maybe you can't see such effect. Conditions must be met ^^

I'll check the next time I find the need to shoot a white wall in a dimly lit room. I don't participate in threads that require replicating conditions I'll never or rarely face to create a problem. It's kind of a 'If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound'? thing. If I'm not in the forest I don't care.

Weird artifacts and camera server failed
Hi,
Is there anyone who saw image overflow of bright areas like this before?
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AiGGuYBSbBE04As9PYQWQ00fT8NR
So in this video I used a tripod which took some amazing video. But I also took 4k video while driving (I was not driving) and the camera did a good job at keeping a still video. There was still a lot of movement but it shows less in the video then there actually was. I captured mainly movement to see how the camera could keep up with it.
You can watch the video here:

I thought that the OIS actually takes over solo. The software optimization for it does not work but the actual hardware OIS works in that modeZ? maybe im wrong

I took about 10 minutes in total of video. Had battery saver off and used the phone to the max that whole day. Came out with about 4 hours of on screen time. Brightness at about 40%.

Correct, OIS is always on regardless, but EIS disables with 4K and 60fps modes.
Ois is always on guys it's a hardware not a software only the software stabilization doesn't work.... ois always on and u can see the lens move as soon as u begin recording

I noticed it was kicking in when I was in the car. Seemed move steady then what I thought it should be. The road was a bit more bumpy than it looked.
wow. Its good.
Just got the following update.
Change log is minimal:
Camera improvement
Security patch

So what is your question or is this just a statement?
From what I feel before and after this update, white balance issue seems to be fixed, photos taken isn't too warm anymore.

I hope this update for the S20 plus 5g exynos will arrive also this week...
I have a simlock free German device.

It was a statement officer.
I can see more improvement to autofocus, less over sharpening effect, better image quality when zooming.
One bad thing I noticed regarding stabilization magnets. They seem not to hold the sensor when using the phone. Lens makes a lot more noise [rattling] even though I'm not using the camera. Very annoying.
Not sure if it's a defect on my unit or something that this update caused.
I'll try to shoot a short video in a different thread about the issue.
new firmware already released in China ATD1 with more improvements
waiting for it in EU.

That was noticed by a number of people as soon as the phone was launched, it's annoying to have that rattle if you shake the phone but it seems standard and not a fault.

Yes totally aware about the rattling noise due to IOS. But after the update it seems louder than before. Is it due to the zoom improvement via firmware? Not sure.
In any case I think it should be easy to develop a tiny app to activate the magnets at all time (same as when opening the camera app). Might drain the battery a bit but that rattling is very annoying. I'm ok to trade 5% of battery drain to suppress the noise.
Those of you who got the ATCT fimrware update on exynos, can you try something out?
Pls take a pic of a white wall, indoor, dim indoor lighting, using night mode. Does it come out darker than it is or looks normal?
I thought the screen size compared to my 10 plus would be relatively indiscernible but it really looks quite bigger . Wierd.
I returned the s20U because of the camera issues especially with the main 108 megapixels. This phone completely nails it. I took pictures from all different angles and all different zooms and they were really superb.
Much as I love my 10 plus screen clarity the 20 Ultra really seems to top it.
Here's another weird thing I tested the speed of it on a speed test and it was 256 ms down.
then tested the 10-plus in the store and it was 489 ms down! I tested it twice the 10+: 400+ ms down.
What the hell's with that ?!

A speed test on what? The in store wifi? How did you connect your phone to the in store wifi for the devices on display?

Exactly, so many reasons this could be the case, even cases, phone orientation, is one on 2.4Ghz wifi and one on 5Ghz, if on 5G/LTE are they both on the same mode, etc.
I want someone to point the Note 20 Ultra camera at their current phone with a black background and white text to see if the "across the frame" focal uniformity issues that the S20 Ultra has - are fixed!
Never have I had a phone camera with a frustration level so high in being able to easily and quickly capture text on a computer screen before! I shouldn't have to use pro mode and MF and zoom and do best guess on peaking to hope it looks decent. Readable? Yes, but I'm used to text in photos looking like the original.
My lowly Nexus6 and Droid Turbo take better pics in this regard FFS! :-|
