[Q] Some questions before purchase

Is shutter speed already fixed in newest update?
when i click the photo button is there still a delay in making the photo?
Secondly, i like the slowmotion capabilities. IS there a app that lets you edit speeds like on the htc one? so you can select wich parts are played in normal speed and wich part is in slow motion?

no replies at all?
no one knows a software or fix or rom?

Wait.
I went from a Galaxy S2 to S4 Which was a huge improvement on itself and Camera stutter isn't a huge deal for me since it takes half a second or less to focus and take a photo and If you really want to capture alot of photos in a short time, Well there is Burst mode for you!
There is already options for Slow motion speeds (2x, 4x and 8x)
This is my personal opinion and i think the camera is perfectly fine & You give people more time to see your post, Don't be impatient.

what about software? is there software to edit frames of a video?
to make a video play faster for a large part?

Camera slow shutter speed

I know the camera issue has been beat to death already but I've been testing it for many days and would like to relay my results. A lot of people are saying that the auto focus is bad causing blurry pictures. This is false, the focus works great but the camera always chooses a shutter speed that's to low for the lighting causing blur on subjects in motion. The only way I can get the shutter speed over 1/20 is by taking a picture in bright light. Even in above average lighting conditions the shutter will go to 1/20 or below. There is no option for metering so I wonder if LG coded something wrong in the camera drivers. I have tried every camera program out there and they all take the exact same picture using the same to low shutter speed which tells me it's not the stock camera app. I don't have the skill to dive into the programming but that is where the problem seems to be. It's the same brand (Sony) camera sensor as the SGS4 so I know that it's not the sensors fault.
Any thoughts?

Anybody else have any ideas?

I'm also seeing these ridiculous shutter speeds (1/14, 1/20) when shooting in low light indoors, even if picking Sport mode, and was looking for a discussion on the topic here. Happy to find it
I had almost given up getting the camera to do what I wanted, when I discovered that the Intelligent Auto feature actually sometimes is ... intelligent. I took 4 photos of my toddler - obviously, not a subject willing to sit still. All photos on intelligent auto.
For two of the photos, the software shot with ISO 700 and 1/15th shutter, pretty much what Normal does every time. But - the other two were taken with ISO 1400-1/30 and ISO 1500-1/30. Naturally, the latter two were a lot sharper.
This is incredibly annoying since the Normal mode only lets you manually pick max ISO 800 and gives no shutter speed control. Until I found out about this intelligent auto thing, I forced -1, -1 1/3 stops underexposure to make the camera use a faster shutter (it typically used 1/59 for some reason). Now I guess I will take 5-6 pics every time and hope the camera is indeed intelligent part of the time.
- Is there no custom camera app capable of setting shutter speed manually, and use the ISO settings available to Intelligent Auto?
- Noone's had any word from LG on this?
I will be contacting LG support about this as well, but wanted to get the XDA word on the matter first...
Cheers, Are

Just replying to say I'm having the same issue. The fastest shutter speed I've seen is 1/15 in a well lit, easy to focus shot. The vast majority of my shots are blurry as a result.
I'm running Cyanogenmod at the moment.

I'm having pretty bad shutter speeds as well. It take 2 seconds to take a well-lit picture.

Guys , Try out the Moto X camera app. I may be wrong but i think its a bit faster .

I'm not talking about how long it takes to take the picture, that's delay. I'm talking shutter speed, how long the shutter stays open allowing light to hit the sensor.

I have not had any big problems with this, most of my shots are pretty tack sharp, and seem to have some decent shutterspeeds.. Only in very poor light I do get 1/15 shutterspeeds but at pretty average lights I get 1/30-1/120 sometimes faster, but mostly 1/40..
My shutterdelay is almist nothing too..

I found a modified version of the stock LG G2 camera by sefnap that works with CM 10.2 M1 and produces much better results: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522889
Some of the features don't work but overall it's vastly better than the camera included with CM.
There is also another modified version of the stock camera put up by Heatshiver that probably works even better but it doesn't currently work with CM (only works with stock and some AOSP ROMs): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525783

I just discovered something the other day when playing with my camera... Albeit in bright light. Check out these pics taken at 60mph from my car while I was driving (ie not the most steady hand).
What I did was set it on sports mode and then old down the camera button until I heard the beep, and then released to capture the image I wanted (ie the road signs). The one out of my car window was actually more focused than I could focus with my naked eye...

camera FPS i guess every one should read

hello everyone ..
now i have been using my s4 for 6 months and i actually enjoyed them ..
but when it comes to the camera the quality is awesome but the shutter speed is why i am disappointed
in this video
i guess a lot of you have seen it
when it takes the photo it's like the phone stopped the time there is no that blur (the slowness in the shutter capturing)
every time i try to capture a moving object i get a blur in the photo
so any one of you have a solution for this ?
and i really can't understand why SGS4 Can't Record 1080p60FPS i guess the hardware is really capable of doing it
i hope to see your opinions .

I can tell the worse of this model is first the camera and second the battery for me.
Talking about the camera: the hardware is possible maybe, but the software still not either. Im listening all days how the members of my job speak about Samsung Galaxy s3, Note, Note 2 reminding the camera was so much better having less megapixels and less options for the photos or videos (one simple AUTO and u had a perfect photo/video everytime). Im very dissapointed with the camera of this model and with the new Note 3 camera too.

(Q) Still no major update to Galaxy S5 SM-G900XX

Why samsung have not released a major update to our S5?
I mean... Why not introduce HDR option in front facing camera (is a must)?
Or RAW shooting in lollipop?
Or a suitable and realiable low light mode using mid-low ISO's parameters depending on the obturing speed (slow obturing time is better for low light situations)
Better 120fps slow motion, current 120 fps slow motion capture is smooth but also you can easyly see pixels or frames while in 16:9 widescreen mode...
Sorry if i didnt explain myself well in las example.
We need a major update, samsung use to do it with their top selling phones.
¿Why not us?

Video camera goes dark issue

I didn't find any similar threads on this issue, so I thought I'd start this one myself. I've noticed that when I'm indoors and the light is dim as soon as I launch the stock camera the image looks as clear and lit as it looks through my eyes and if I take a picture in Auto mode, well the picture just the same as it should but I soon as I jump into video recording somehow it all looks pretty dark, and I have no settings for this or at least I haven't found anything I may have changed to have this effect, it looks so dark I actually have to use the flashlight and even then it still looks quite dark.

The S7 edge does not have night vision, but rather it can take photographs in LOW light conditions. The brighter F1.7 lens and bigger 1.4µm pixels on the picture sensor catch however much light as could reasonably be expected to make the photographs turn out sharp and clear.
The camera does not work and in addition appeared in the promotion of its low light performace. That is only their marketing strategy.

So it can only take pictures in low light conditions? Not videos?

The longer the speed shutter, the more light camera gather.
Video recording have speed shutter limit because it need to capture continuous image and form a video. So 30fps video have the longest speed shutter per frame of 1/30 sec. 60fps video = 1/60 sec. And slow motion(240fps) = 1/240 sec.
While taking photo you don't have as much limit. In auto ,camera can have the speed shutter as long as 1/4 sec. In manual mode you can have the speed shutter as long as 10 second.

Would tweaking some settings in Pro mode help out?

Hi guys and girls
Am I only getting worse shots and video in low light after 2 last official updates?
(Camera glass is clean, using stock camera app as before)

I the same issue
I think it has somthing with the battery saving you have turned on. Anyway, you can change this at the time you are previewing a recorded video, and pressing on the lefd side of the screen. Then you will see a slide bar to adjust the back ground light. If you pull this up, you'll your videos much brighter. But this change is somhow effecting thephone general background light, so all your phone will become brighter, and the battery will last shorter.
I also have some suspection that somthing went wrong at the last update Samsung has delivered, as I feel as well there is some downgrade of the video looks. I think that the video backlight shouldn't effect the phone screen backlight as a hole. Maybe some in Samsung has wrongly linked this both settings into one, so when you are ising a battery saver function, the video playing is reducing its background light as well. I haven't notice these issues before last update.

Yah..Same thing happening on my s7 edge too!!!After the latest update...They might give bug fixed update soon:good:
