Hi all, I know it might sound stupid, but is there a plastic film on the edge plus camera lens?
I'm used to find it on every new phone I get (it was present event on my last note 4 and galaxy s6), but looking at the camera lens of my new Galaxy s6 Edge Plus...it doesn't seems to be any plastic film. I was only able to spot and remover a tiny plastic film on the flash sensor. That's it. Am I right?
Thanks in advance
Mine was same as yours. I looked with magnification and found nothing on camera.

Same here. I had one on the flash but nothing on the lense.

There was one on the flash/HRM, not on Camera though!
Anyone have their camera slightly off center? First Samsung handset and not sure if the camera underneath the lens should be centered? Mine is slightly below center, a non-issue but still curious.

I have read about this somewhere. I think it moves and everyone's are that way. Nothing to worry about.

It's due to OIS. If you hold the phone in selfi position with rear camera and keep trying different focuses and shake, you'll see your camera hole moving accordingly..

as on others devices (S2),also on Note i noticed that autofocus is not perfect.
On macro it works well,but on normal photos and expecially ZOOMING....i can not get a good focus.
Try to zoom 4x ...impossible to get a correct focus..for me
a personal problem...or firmware problem....?
i have last firm ...upgraded on line 2 days ago.
Regards..
You should never use digital zoom on a phone camera the results are always terrible. Also I noticed my SGSII had a tough time auto focusing during videos. It was always freaking out trying to focus on the center object.
on HTC HD2 autofocus works well also zooming...
samsung optical software are very bad...
No solution?
Have you guys noticed a tiny piece of protective plastic over the camera lens? May or not be obvious, but have you removed that?

are you on 2.3.6? On my note (2.3.6), I just tried what you described (4x zoom and focus) and it had no trouble focusing.
This was indoors, with some light coming through the window blinds and it's almost sunset outside. So not really bright inside.
Granted, digital zoom is always (and I mean always) a bad call compared to taking an unzoomed photo and cropping/enlarging yourself, but at least the phone had no trouble focusing while zoomed in.
its not just you
Its not just you. I have the same proplem now, but did not when i recieved it. The problem is just more aparent when zooming in the phone but you also see it unzoomed on the full photo on the PC. Auto focus just does not do its job and everything is really blurry. I think the problem only came up after a firmware upgrade, but i may be mistaken.
I already tried downgrading which did not work (maybe an even older version is required?) but then noticed the CSC code wrongly set to KOR. Stetting it to the for me correct DBT did not help either.
Anyone has this without having upgraded? Anyone solved it?<
Update: Looking back at made photos... If this is a software issue, it was not present in firmare KK9. I got a photo mentioning that firmware that was ok. However I have this version installed now, and focusing is not ok.
However i still see it possible that some changed from more recent firmwares like a camara firmware change made it in that was not reversed when installing the older version.
I'd appreciate if we could work together in narrowing down this problem by comparing situations.
My phone's auto-focus was working fine until I did the KKA firmware update. Now it is crap. I've been hoping for another update to fix it, bit no dice so far!
I have the same problem. I was considering sending my Note back or trying to find a camera replacement until I figured out my first few pix (pre update) were very good. I just hope an update comes soon because I'm working with a Mac at home and have failed to root or flash one of the updated roms.

The camera in the Galaxy Note has about 8 million photosensors. That defines the resolution you're going to get. Digital zoom only enlarges the pixels, interpolating, it's the same if you shoot without zoom and then enlarge the picture on the computer.
For me the camera on the Galaxy Note is pretty capable, better than a compact camera I had 6 years ago.
I don't know who you're responding to with the post of your image sample, but I cannot get anything close to this at the moment. Only in macro mode. The problems is auto focus, it has nothing to do with zoom.
I decided to ask for a replacement or repair from amazon.de and was in luck.
Due to an extended cristmas timeframe in which you can just send it back or get a replacement I just sent mine back and they sent me a new one right away.
The new one is fine now. The camera photos are really good.
Plus, now the screen on this new one is nicely even compared to the slightly uneven display brightness in some areas of the screen (especially on grey color) on my old one.
Also got the latest firmware on it without a problem.
So I'm really happy now
Im sure you guys know in photos you can touch the screen to set your focus point.
Digital zoom will just give you crap results, avoid this and just zoom and crop in editing which will give you a much better image.
Is it normal that my Nexus 7 makes a clicking sound/noise when I close camera applications or switch from the back to front camera?
I'd say so. Mine does it, I believe it's the mechanical focus lens returning to it's home position.
Also: is your front camera not aligned exactly in the center? Mine is more on the bottom right, still works perfectly.

Yes, that's how it is designed, so that when it's held in landscape (turned to the left) your hand won't cover the camera.

I'm talking about the actual lens where the hole is. Not the alignment of where it is on the screen.
The lens on mine is on the bottom right in the small hole.

In the hole where the camera lens is, is your lens placed not exactly in the center?
My lens in the whole is on the bottom right, doesn't effect camera though.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.
It is ever so slightly to the right of centre on mine. If the image quality is not impacted there is nothing to worry about.
Yes - my bad. Mine is placed on the top right - a bit off center. Yours is like that too?

Yeah it's slightly off centre.
I have the same sound on my N7, my Nexus 4, and I had it on my LG Optimus 4X HD as well so I sure do hope it's normal :laugh:
I've seen them perfectly aligned and off centered, just the luck of the draw.
Regarding the noise, some are more prominent and others you have to put your ear near the tab to hear, but they all have some noise.
Anyone else feel like there camera has degraded in quality since its been on?
I tried it instantly when i opened it out of the box and was amazed.
Now it almost looks as if the image isn't as sharp as it could be , nowhere near as sharp as some images I've seen on here anyway.
All my settings are the same
But beyond that. is anyone also having like a slow front facing camera? Mine is really laggy like from the lock screen last night my friend used it to test my phone and it looked terrible being so lag. trying to show how good it was against there iPhone which they are all so sucked into
No, theres no half-life for the camera

LOL good one!
Either your camera had a smudge on lens or you never took off the protective coating plastic on the camera lens.

Lol, I put money on the latter.
Whenever I notice my pics aren't as clear as a should be it's usually due to smudges on the lens
Regardless i personally dont think my camera is always as sharp as it could be almost like a pastel effect is on the screen.
But beyond that. is anyone also having like a slow front facing camera? Mine is really laggy like from the lock screen last night my friend used it to test my phone and it looked terrible being so lag. trying to show how good it was against there iPhone which they are all so sucked into
Photos taken in manual mode under bright condition are nearly perfect, truly a better camera from my old Note 2.
Camera is phenomenal for me

No i didnt. I dont know i just look at pictures especially indoor and there not very sharp ill post some pics up.
Ive just noticed there is another protective layer on the camera but not sure if tis meant to be there it is very hard to get off
It's hard to see but the camera has a plastic covering it that you need to manually take off. Sorry if you already did.

Hi Guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S7 Edge from Uae and now I am back in my hometown.
unfortunately my phone is only a month old and i just noticed that the front camera is misaligned by 1mm or so, you can see more of the black ring and the lens of the camera is more towards the right.
Although the camera works perfect and there are no problems, should i be worried?
I am extremely worried as the phone has no warranty in my country .
Mine is a bit misaligned as well. I wouldn't worry about it as long as it works as it should.

Thank God that is such a relieve as I don't have warranty support in my country and if i go to a service center they are known to rip customers off by selling unwanted parts especially to phones without warranty.
Is this normal, I saw this on other devices and some were aligned correctly?
Could you please share a picture of your device if possible?
Yea dont worry about that. I believe most are like that people just dont look that hard at there phones.

How is your front camera?
Well the rear camera aint misaligned, it uses OIS so it keeps on moving

Yea its just a bit off on the bottom of the camera.
You gotta look real hard to see. But its there. Doesnt effect anything since it doesnt cover the lense.
Same here i can see that theres much room on the bottom part of my front camera, but its working fine.

By room you mean the black part correct? As I can see more of the black ring which makes a gap between the lens and the outer ring but again mine is on the left side and not bottom so is that okay?
Yes. Its like the hole in the top glass was cut to big and off ceneter.

Alright thanks a ton
The black one is mines. It has a screen protector on so thats the top offset.
But if you look at the black trim you can see where on the buttom of the camera it has more space then the top as its off center
My wife is the sliver one.
I did my best to take a picture of it. You can see how hers is center.
Either way it dossnt effect the camera.
And fyi these pictures were taken with the phone lol.
My nikon battery was dead.

Thank you so so so much for the pictures.
Mine is somewhat just like yours, I am glad that I'm not the only one.
Your wife's camera also looks a little misaligned from the right or I don't know if its because of the picture.
It's just ironic that a phone with such a hefty price, one would expect some quality and tolerance?
Is it only me or is there a general issue with the cameras of the OnePlus 8 Pro? I've seen articles about light reflections in the camera and the missing IR filter.
But is it only my device being unable to take a picture a lamp without huge clouding? Attached one picture with the normal camera, one with the wide angle (better but still not ideal) and a general scenery where the issue can clearly be seen.
Thank you for your hints if you're facing the same problem.
Greetings
Yes,same here.
