Hi, the inside camera in my new S6 Edge+ from UAE (G928C) is misaligned Well it looks like it. I have attached a picture for your opinions. Is this a defect? So far after taking 3 or 4 pictures the quality is good as expected.

can anyone else confirm this with theirs? thanks
Mine is the same. Probably isnt supposed to be that way. Minor cosmetic issue. No,way effects functionality.

Yup. Same here.
Same here. Maybe its intentional? Either way my pics come out great so no worries....
we all have that. relax
The camera has hardware image stabilization in such the lens is supposed to be free moving. If you shake the phone you can hear it rattle. Start the camera app again and shake it, rattle is gone. This is due to a floating design that can move the lens to counter your movement so motion blur is reduced and is especially noticeable in lower light conditions when shutter speeds grow longer.

You are absolutely right. One can try shaking the camera in selfi posture and notice that camera hole alignment changes with phone positioning.

well....
i saw this in desire thread.........
someone did a comparison in photos with backcover(battery cover) on and without it.. it there was a noticeable difference
in camera clarity.......
it was much improved with back cover removed...
i thought it should have been improved but a negligible. but it was a great difference..
tried it with nexus also and i also found a big difference.
the glass of backcover and the space between the glass and the camera reduces the camera clarity...
i guess i should remove the glass....lol
Man! Thanks for this reminder!
I've been noticing lately that focusing and picture clarity was rather lacking lately on my N1...Then seeing this thread it reminded me that I needed to clean the back-cover protective glass!
Especially for me, since I carry my N1 around "naked" (no case, no sleeve, just the bare nekked phone), it's not just the phone's screen that gets the smudges!
I totally believe that removing the protective glass pieces would improve picture clarity...But I'm not so eager to do anything about it as I'm not so confident in the camera's protection without them.
agreed and more importantly is the difference is more visible on a pc rather than yr nexus screen
yup, my cover is fairly scratched up at this point. If I'm taking a picture, I'm pulling it. Just be sure to hold the battery in place.
Can you post some pics for reference? Can you also post a pic with a legit camera of your camera window?
I've been thinking this may be true, but I haven't done any testing yet.
agreed and more importantly this.
Thanks, i tried it and the quality is better
I was skeptical, but there actually is a noticeable difference in clarity.

I confirm it does have a slight effect on the contrast and sharpness. I took the pictures with a spit-clean camera cover and one without.

The first one is WITH THE COVER ON and the other one is with the cover taken OFF. Noticeable difference in contrast for sure.
Is there a solution to make the Lens blur Google camera feature to work? When I take the picture, I don't even have the time to move the device upwards before getting the "Device moved too fast" warning.
It happens everytime. Well, except once when it has worked for some time, which was strange.
I know, that there is Background defocus in the stock camera, but I like Google camera more.
Any ideas?
Try to use Camera FV-5 or A Better Camera, it is very nice solution.

FV-5 doesn't do filters. This is what Lens blur does:

It is exactly the same as Background-defocus effect in Sony's camera.
unfortunately, the only way to get bokeh (the blurry background) is to actually isolate the background through a software algorithm, hold your finger around 3 inches from your eyes, then slightly tilt your head from side to side you will see that objects from afar moves more than your finger... that is the reason google camera needs you to move, and to do it slowly - moving to fast makes everything move. sony takes at least 2 pictures with lens focusing on different things....
and of course there is a way to optically isolate a background which related to a photography concept - depth of field (which requires you to consider sensor size and aperture)... though limited you can take a close up picture of an object that is very near your camera, that will blur the background, the closer the object of interest to the camera the better thr isolation will be... remember that focusing is actually done on a plane, all objects that are near (in the same plane) the object of interest will be in focus... do a Google search on depth of fiels.
my apologies for the lack of capitalization and sentence fragments.... im wrote all of these on my z2
I understand that, but I get Moving too fast message even before I move at all. Haven't tested it for some time, there were some GCamera updates and I got 4.4.4 now. I'll check again tomorrow, if it works now.

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?

Hi,
Please see this pictures, is this the normal G2 quality ? I find it very poor I suspect a hardware probleme.
did you removed the film of camera?
Sur I did, and the camera is clean and with no scratchs, can you post some pics taken with yours.
Here is one taken with my D802:

I find that your picture is by far better than mines, I don't know what is the problem, this phone wasn't new (refurbished), maybe they have put a non original camera ? what to do now ?
Try downloading a different camera app and see if it is any better.

My camera has inconsistencies (blur in areas), camera is always going out of focus and in frequently, the image is quite often warping (noticeable when recording).
I use Mi2raw now.

They seem fine to me. You could download and install CamSpeed. It's a Camera Peformance benchmarking application. Yes usually benchmarking applications are laughed at but if you're having doubts, why not try it and compare with other G2's?
If you're still not satisfied, download and install XCam and use that instead of the LG Cam.
with camspeed, I get a rank of 411 and score of 412, it seem poor compared to other devices with 2000+ rank.
I already use xcam, it give better performances but still not good enought.
Can someones please run this test and tell us there score ?

your first picture appears to have been taken through the windshield of a car. Anti-reflective/glare coatings on the windshield as well as road grime will cause your pictures to look bad. Also looks like there is some reflection from the dashboard as well.
The second picture looks ok. I see a blurry spot in the lower left that may be due to motion.
Is your phone in a case with a plastic cover in front of the lens?
I have been using x-cam on my VS980 and get very good results.

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?
