Problem with camera sensor ? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I noticed yesterday that when I tried to take a night shot with lighting behind,I see 2 white dots to the camera. These white dots is not in every night shots but only under specific conditions. I have manage to replicate the problem only to the specific night view shot which has a lot of lights to the background.
Do you think that this is a defected sensor? And I should ask for replacement

Picture?

The sensor is alright, check out the Android Authority's video on s7's camera, they've explained it very well.

False alarm. Hopefully is not a sensor problem. I check with a nexus 5 and has the same problem . It is the reflection of light to the camera lens.

It's called len flare ?

I have a possibly similar problem.
When I shoot a video on 1080p (with HDR on) I get these 5 to 10 tiny white dots scattered randomely onscreen when I view my video afterwards.
Moreover, when i connect my s7 edge to my computer or to my flatscreen TV , the little dots appear even stronger and more annoying.
You stated that it may be a reflection problem.
I am am very interested in how you came to this conclusion. Source?

I think it is because of faulty hardware.
i had this issue on XZ1
and repairing firmware or update and ... didn't solve it.
however i sold it But it s better for u to take it to service for replacement.
:good:

When I first read your post the first thing I thought was dynamic range(or lack there of). When you take low Light shots the camera software jacks up the ISO (making the sensor more sensitive to light). In doing this you start to lose dynamic range(DR) and introduce chroma(color) and luminance(grain) noise, with smaller sensors photo IQ deteriorates really fast. In low light at high ISO you will start to notice a magenta cast in your shadow areas from a combo of the low DR and the noise. I thought this might have been your complaint.
Anyway looking at your photo, what I mentioned above I'm not 100% if it's the culprit. It could also be a hardware defect or it could be software.
A few questions:
-Does this only happen in low light?
-Have you tried other camera apps?
-Does this occur when your NOT connected to WiFi?
-Was there any light source in the photo above?
Here's a few high iso examples:
Although not as bad as your case, you'll notice a purple/blue/pink cast in the blacks.

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.

Bad blue lens flare on OP 6T

Hi all,
I have purchased last Friday an OP6T, 256/8 as Offre de Noel).
Yesterday, doing the first pics in sunlight, I noticed an unnormal and unwanted bad blue flare within the pics, and I tested it further when back home. I've contacted the vendor Monday about the problem, they found it bad enough to exchange the phone directly and I got a 2nd OP6T the next day.
Unfortunately the problem is persistent from one phone to another, the pics above are from both 6T's and S7 as comparison. I can confirm that with the Galaxy S7 Edge that precise problem does not exist.
I am also aware that some flares are kinda normal in photography against light.
Can anyone please confirm, that the blue flare of the light bulbs (kind of echo?) is normal for the 6T camera hardware ? Or not ?
Can anyone please confirm, that the 6T 256/8 indeed does have a lens protection film on the back camera and how to indicate it, and in case it does, how to remove it safely?
I've attached some pics, inlcuding a proper pic without blue flare from Samsung S7 Edge, both camera lenses, and the bad blue flare pics of both 6T phones I have at hand now.
Thank you very much in advance for any support.
The vendor offered me to send the items back, and I am unsure if this kind of flare just became standard with the new lens concepts? (I've read about it in the one plus forums and saw comparable pics from Iphone 11)
Thanx in advance, Tom

I am sorry, the pics aren't allowed befor having 10 points I have understood. Pls use the imgur link above.
Best, Tom
I got a green one!!
But I think lens flares are the coolest thing in photography so for me the Samsung pictures are just lame

How come, I thought at Bruges the flares are yellow with a tint of red ?
Thank you for your positive minded response - :silly:

Camera Lens Flare

Anyone else getting this in photos where theres a bright light the side? Would be suggestive of poor anti glare coating on the lens.

Example ..... The green circle on the shed doesn't exist and is the lens reflected in the photo. Another example showing the shed without the ring but with the flare.

Lens Flare + Frodo Ring
Hi,
we have two problems as far as I can understand it.
1. Lens flare (on bright lights, causing the rays)
2. Frodo-Ring (the golden ring, caused by sunlight from the side about 90° angle)
I have extracted 3 pictures from the frodo ring from the oneplus forum over there.
I assume we are the same guys https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/problems-with-cam.1218969/
Also this strange effect from night light.
Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk
Question is how much of this is "normal" how much are all cameras on the OP8pro affected by this ? Is it a faulty design ? Not all my photos have these effects,it's only in certain lighting conditions. If I RMA will the replacement be like this?
Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk
Maybe Oneplus will do a statment soon? Maybe it can be fixed with an update?
My device is going back, really loved it. But this is not good.... Not at that price tag, sorry
Since finding the threads about lens flaring I'm now spotting it all the time on my 8 Pro main camera
The ultrawide doesn't seem to be affected anywhere near as, bad but even watching TV it's still visible.
Really want to like this phone but OnePlus haven't made it easy!
I've had none of this, wipe your camera lens lol it's not as bad as some others.
This happens if it's smeared with grease etc.

If you test for it,you'll find it. You can see it here at 50sec and at 2.20. https://youtu.be/V40l25LUoEc
I've cleaned and cleaned the lens and it's not resolved.

Ok then it's your lens mate, I do not have this like I said. Not at all.
I've had devices like the HTC 10 which is the mother of all devices to have glare and flares. I don't see that on the device. Even the P20 pro had it, it's one of my major gripes with phone cameras, it's completely not noticeable to be on the Pro
Flare
Guys did anyone find a fix? Do all OnePlus have these?
It's so bad unable to take may night shots with street lamps and no day light shots in sun

Any solution for this? It's so bad near street lights and in the sun

Ultra Wide Camera circle when sunlight is coming from top left or top right direction

Hi, sometimes in some angles this circle is appearing in the photos i take with ultra wide angle lens. Is this normal or is my lens broken? Thanks!

It's possible you have something on the lens. Maybe condensation.

I cleaned the lens, same issue...
Is it in the same spot in every picture? If so, it is possible that something is in the phone. The lens has a glass cover over it to protect it. It may be on the lens itself. If that is the case, you won't be able to clean it off.

No it is not always at the same place of photo. Depends on the angle of the sun. But generally that circle is appearing when the sun is at top left, right. In addition, if i put my hand on top of the phone circle disappears. So it happens when sunlight comes from a specific angle.
Have you tried turning off the Starburst feature in the scene optimizer settings of the camera and see if that helps?

It's not the camera. It is called refraction. It is what happens when the light is reflected off of the sensor on to the lens then reflected back to the sensor. Especially, when you're taking a picture in bright sunlight with the sun in the frame at an angle.
