camera issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Only I have the problem on cm 12 and all rom-based on it, on the camera: sometimes just the launch from the lock-screen, sometimes after some shots camera freezes, and fro resume shooting I have to cancel the history through the home button.

You do know that CM12 is a work in progress and there are bugs?

Picture with flashlight

Hi all,
I tried to put the flash (light) for a picture, and I have an issue... The flash is lightening before taking the picture, so it's useless ...
Do you have the same issue ?
When I turn my flashlight on it stays on until I turn it off.
It stays on, but it's brighter on the moment the picture is done.
I've tried to make photos in front of a mirror to see if it is lightening before taking the picture or not. In my device (HTC TyTN) the flash comes just at the right moment, so it's not useless, but the shooter sound comes about 1 second after the picture is really taken.
Do you have a lot of applications running? probably your device is running slow and that's why you're experiencing this. Are you experiencing the same issue just after a hard reset?
Yes maybe, I'm going to try the mirror test
I have the same problem
The flash light it is NOT syncronized with the capture moment.
I think the question here should be;
When is the capture moment?
Pressing of the button does not coincide with the shutter sound or flash lighting... This is probably as the flash lights when button is pressed, at which point the device starts image transfer and the shutter sounds after picture is complete (try moving camera after shutter has sounded and before)

Green screen in stock camera FIXED

I've been having this problem when every few photos, just a plain green picture is taken. And sometimes there are distorted colors. I decided to play around with the settings to check if it changes anything.
I found out that the problem is keeping the focus mode in Continuous Auto focus. Keeping it in this mode apparently has problems which are the green photos, distorted colors, and around 2 seconds of lag between the shutter and the photo being taken.
Keeping it on Auto took off 2 of the problems which were the green photos and distorted colors. But it was still kind of laggy, I think it's supposed to be this way though to have time for it to focus
Putting it on Infinity fixed all of it, I took over 20 photos without any problem or lag.
I don't know why that problem occurred, but it's probably just the camera firmware and not a hardware problem.
Hope I got to help

Camera focus problem; keeps focussing, unable to make sports pictures

I have a problem with the cameras constant focus. If i want to take a picture of any object, the camera first refocusses, making it impossible to take pictures of sports events etc. I have to predict actions 2 seconds in the future, because when i hit the shutter button, the camera first unfocus and focus again and then takes the picture. Also, when the camera is idle, it refocus every few seconds.
Touching and holding the screen brings up the blue dotted circle which locks focus, but the blue circle disappears again after a few seconds....
I have tried a 3rd party camera app, same problem.
How can i lock focus and keep it locked?
Reply to self: downloaded Sports mode; big improvemnt

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To my surprise, the camera app lets you download extra modes. One of them is Sports mode, which takes pictures instantly when touching the shutter button. This should be default behaviour in my opinion.

Google Camera app - slow shutter

I installed several versions of the Google camera app (4.1 & 4.2) on my s8 which all partially work.
If I press the button to take a picture. The flash goes off followed by a shutter sound almost immediately. But the actual picture is taken seconds later, so I have to keep the phone still and focussed. This works by day but by night, the flash is long gone by the time the picture is actually taken, leaving a dark picture.
Anyone else have this issue?

Strange camera issue (tilted in certain video modes)

In certain video modes (normal, short, timelapse) my Mi9T tilts and flickers the picture to the left on the screen. It's really weird because after installing any 3rd party camera software it works normally.
Any thoughts?
Update: meanwhile it turned out that the image stabilization is the culprit - with IS off it is ok but once I switch it back it happens again...
