Pink Tint on Camera

Hi All - had my Note for a couple of weeks now, hardly used the camera but just tried it and there is a pink tint/hue at the centre of the camera view area which shows on taken pics too. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I have the international/UK white version of the Note.

Its normal all to do with light note and s2 has issue

Yes Ive seen the problem with the S2, however its really noticeable and it seems that Samsung have not fixed the problem at all. Really quite disappointed with it on such a high end device.

i saw it happen once recently with low light and low screen brightness on one camera app. but didnt happen with other camera apps. dont remember which app though. so try other camera apps to see if it is an app problem. turn up screen brightness and see if issue resolves

this problem is very common (the HTC devices i owned had the same issue) and there is not really a solution to it for now. the reason for this problem is within the optics, it CAN be compensated software-wise, but there is no 100% compensation possible. also this occurs only for specific wavelengths, therefore the light-source is important too!

All due to cheap sensors. The sensor isn't big enough to let sufficient light in so the darkest part (the center) gets the weird pink effect. You won't see too much of this when you're out in a sunny day.
This is just the nature of the game with cellphone sensors.

hmmmm... it seems blue on my phone. not pink at all

mine is green..... :s

mine is a perfect mix of VIBGYOR pattern (white!)

mine is sometimes green.
but its seams to be problem with the AWB (auto white balance) and artificial light sources. If I change my WB to a daylight (or what ever) the pink/green spot is gone. When i switch back to AWB most of the time the pink/green spot is also gone
i would appreciate if you can test this

The flower had a pink ting to it, will take a photo with the IPHONE 4 and also with my Fujifilm Camera as well for comparison tomorrow.

But the outer petals are clearly white. Lawl
Dont worry, my point was just purely observational. I have the same minor issue.

You are right, just took the torch to have a look at it, there is pink but not as much as in the photo, Oh well, I mainly use it as a phone.
Is there a way to minimize it or it is hardware?
Also the picture in the above post by "ahalford" also have a bit of pink in it.

Indeed. Adjustable, though, through Photoshop in 1 second. Mainly can be seen on "Auto white balance" setting.
Here is one more. Focusing on red-orange gamma, whites in the background also get warm tones.
Anyways, Galaxy camera after HTC's is a revelation.

A wedding of my best buddy!! Take it with default setting

It's a purely hardware issue. To the extent that it can be minimized is based on software.
No amount of megapixels can make-up for the fact our all camera phone sensors are ridiculously small, and thus cannot capture sufficient light which creates the pink effect. =) It is also for this reason that you will not see this effect when the place is extremely bright (e.g., taking a picture outside on sunny day while under the sun and not in any shaded areas).
Once you know how to look for it, you'll know that this happens across platforms. Camera sensors just suck. Every photo I've seen from a camera phone that is not well lit has exhibited this effect.
You could always take pictures along the red-spectrum. It'll be camouflaged that way if it bothers you. *Shrugs* Or keep flash enabled all the time.

I'm loving this camera!

Taken with default cam with slight editing in After Focus.

You have to watch on it in the night or where is totally dark. And if you zoom in this photo/screen shot you can see that middle part is totally dark and edges are more light.
And yes I removed lens protection sticker

I played a little bit with Photoshop with your black picture. I think it is totally normal that you cannot get a real 100% black picture out of a cam. A dark room is not 100% black for your cam. Maybe for your eyes. And even if you would make a photo of an ideal 100% black room in the end you would make a photo of your cameras chip noise. But the picture for me looks more like a litte rest of light the camera could fetch.

Ok looks like you make my pic way easy to see for everyone but you can check if is same at yours s5 ?
I just need to know if every s5 have a same issue because my nexus5 in same room same time have no this issue !!

I tried to make a black picture. it looks similar to yours but it is nearly black (more than yours). I pressed my black soft S5 bag on the camera lens.
So I still think its not an issue but it shows that the S5 camera is much more sensitiv to distinguish between black and nearly black than other cameras that recognize 100% black where the S5 recognizes 98% black. No issue for me.

I would like to say that samsung galaxy s4 have no this issue so I go to change my s5 for new.... again.... what for full of problems phone... really disappointed. ... photo is prove

From which camera was the last picture you posted? Its not 100% black like all the others.

What you are looking for is a theoretical ideal camera that makes a 100% black picture of a 100% black original. You won't find such a camera anywhere.

Front camera quality

Anyone else notice how the front cam isn't so sharp at times? If I am not holding my phone from the same direction as the light source, the pics are kinda blurry. It's currently 10am where I am and the sun is shining bright yet this camera is producing low quality images while indoors like there isn't enough light though there is. It's as if the light needs to shine directly into the sensor to create sharper images. My Nexus 6p took way better pics in low and even no light. I will post pics from both devices for comparison. Anyone else care to post some as well?

I had an issue with the screen protector i had put on..it was covering the front cam and due to finger print smudges the selfie pics were coming blurry.i removed that protector and now it looks quite good. Jist check if ur front camera is not getting smudged with finger prints.

Nah, I have a very nice microfiber cloth I cleaned it with several times before posting this. It's just a strange thing with the lighting. I feel as if the camera just isn't good without all of the light available going into the sensor. Give me some time to get these pictures in order. You will see what I mean

I noticed this. Here is a pic I snapped yesterday, definitely soft, https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=c3QtZHpLdlNWRjVkNXNtUWpua2hGN240em82UElR I went into the settings and had to adjust the Skin tone, it was on 2. 0 seems clearer? I'll have to test. FFC is the Sony IMX320 (rear is Sony IMX333) on mine.

Yea, the 0 setting is none while 8 is extremely smooth. Here's a pic I just snapped. https://goo.gl/photos/tGDJtMX7Xt821oBU8
This picture isn't sharp by no means. Soft as you described it. This is disappointing. Coming from a two year old phone.

Agree. There has to be an update as this has a killer sensor.

Sounds like the issue that plagued some GS7 units as well. Sad to see
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk

I thought it was just me or the lighting in my room here. Definitely seems like the focus is off and they all come out somewhat blurry. Big draw for me was getting this to get better group selfies (don't judge). I hope a firmware update fixes this.

After doing research, it seems to be the exact same issue. I read where someone had taken their S7 to best buy and compared it with other display units or something like that. Their results were that another device had an okay camera and then another was bad just like theirs... Or something like that lol. Can't remember currently. Either way, this camera is butt ???

Camera issue with direct lighting?

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.

Sigh, I was actually hoping my device is faulty but seems like that's not the case. I can even see the same red shine on your pictures.
