Hi,
I just received my Galaxy S5 a few weeks ago. It works great but the camera takes really bad pictures. I searched the web and disabled the
picture stabilizer but the pictures are still not good. I have to hold the camera perfectly still to get a picture that is not washed out. Is there
any other settings I can change to make this better?

Anyone notice this strange problem:
After updating to Froyo, about 1/4 of the time when using the camera flash, I get a dark picture. The flash goes off every time it is supposed to, but the camera sensor takes the picture after the flash goes off, resulting in a very dark picture as if the flash was disabled. Take another picture and it usually works.
Happens in stock camera app and 3rd party apps too.
2.2 rooted, stock rom, etc. (Happened before I rooted 2.2)
I've noticed this. What else I've noticed is that the photo may be dark, but it's still very high quality. It isn't grainy and rough like a photo taken without a flash. It leads me to believe that the camera is adjusting the settings to take more of a "true" lighting with high quality.
It's not -- I often take pictures inside a dark bar at night and you care barely see anything on then and it's a noisy mess. I did some more test shots yesterday and it really is really is funny the EXIF data shows the flash being used, even though clearly it wasn't synced up properly.
I also notice that it is usually the first pictures or so when you start the camera. If you take many successive shots, it doesn't happen........
I tried switching from 3mp to 2mp to see if that helps. I find the lens to be pretty low resolution that even 3mp is pushing things.
Does anyone else's camera seem overly grainy?
Mine appears incredibly grainy before the picture is taken and still doesn't come out as well as many sample pictures I have seen online.
Edit: I looks like my camera is permanently zoomed in...is there a way to zoom out that I am missing?
Mine only looks bad in low light. Maybe make sure its not in macro mode. In the camera app go to settings and make sure the focus mode is set to auto focus.
I have the same exact issue.
Mine is grainy too. Any tips?
Grainy or noisy? Pics please.
I have the ATT Galaxy Note 3. I've noticed that my pics are a mix of focused and blurry even when I get the green square.
Yesterday, I went to take a picture and it focused very clearly and offered up the green square. When I tapped the screen while holding it very still to take the picture, it went to focus again and snapped the pic at one of the worst blurry moments instead of waiting another second to get clear again.
It does this on AUTO setting and HDR setting and whether stabilization is on or offer..doesn't matter. It still happens.
A second question, why would the auto-focus leave me with a red square instead of a green one?
Are you using the standard app or another one? I use Camera Zoom Fx. Might be worth a try. Also, for whatever reason, a red box would indicate not in focus, if green indicates focus. I found the Samsung camera app to be terrible.
Don't use the stock app. Use another camera app. ZoomFX, ProCapture, FV5, Shotcontrol... Anything but Stock. Stock is rubbish.
1 problem with stock camera, it doesn't has the option to select macro focus.
Hello everyone. in my moto g I noticed that when I take a picture with the front camera (any app) the frame that is saved is that this one or two seconds before the time when actually shooting the photo. with the rear camera does not have this problem. only if you use the hdr the problem disappears as the latter tends to delay the capture, the problem is that the app I use does not have the option to use the HDR.
someone has a possible solution?
edit: I realized that the problem is in low light conditions. When there is a lot of light the camera works perfectly
Hello! i have a question regarding the shutter speed of my oneplus 5. No matter whatever app i use or custom rom i flash, i cant set or control the shutter speed, neither with stock camera. Even if i set the shutter to 30 seconds the camera will take the pic in about 2/3 seconds max. I used to shot very cool pics at night with my Op3 (with resurrection remix) by controlling the shutter speed and when i bought this phone i thought i could have even done them better. Also the google camera by arnova doesnt work really good: a pink tint fully cover my pic taken with hdr+ activated. I guess this is normal because there is also the option to remove it but as the pink tint is gone a new black tint comes to cover the corners of the pics and the result is pretty weird, photos are so unreal. Anyone have any idea what's going on? i tried it all but i still have this issue, my priority is the shutter speed by the way
