Morning everyone, just was wondering if burst mode is an option for the front camera on this device. I was out last night and I tried to do it while taking some selfies with mode girl and nothing was happening. Then she hit me with the "oh so sad, my phone does that (she has an iPhone of course)". Hopefully this is something that can be enabled.

figured i'd start a thread on the use of the camera and what others have done or do to take amazing pictures. possibly post some
only thing i've noticed is holding down the camera button half way till the center cue comes up and beeps, to snap a shot allows for a lot better clarity and focus on a shot.
that is the focus .... setting the anti shake before taking pics helps too. the use of macro mode helps with the small items... also adjusting the metering can help when you are shooting something and the light is coming from an odd angle...
ah k. Kinda assumed it was since pics are taken instantly with the push of the button instead of typical 2-3 sec delay to focus as with other phones. Have to mess with macro or any other feature other than image filter for b&w shots. Will try it though.
samsungs always take great pics.... i wish this phone had the settings the omnia 2 had.... that camera was the best 5mp out...
i wonder what Nokia's partnership with Microsoft and Windows Phone 7 will bring as far as cameras, cause honestly the last great cell phone camera i ever used was on an old Nokia flip phone from T-Mobile (years and years ago). it may have been 1.3MP camera but it took some sharp pics and quick. Iphone was eh aight, blackberry curve..the led flash was too long too bright and pictures were grainy, HTC Tilt 2...so so quality with slight not so noticeable color tint. but this Focus phone takes better pics than my old 8MP Nokia digital camera.
Today i experienced a strange problem with the Nexus 4 Camera. I took some pictures of a kid playing in the park. It was the day time around 1:30 PM and the weather was somewhat cloudy. The pictures in which the kid stood still were good but in which he was running or moving the showed strange ghosting kind of effect in them. I have attached the photographs here. Look at the face of the kid how it seems distorted. Does anybody else experienced a similar issue.
The camera settings were on Auto and HDR was enabled during the shoot.
Nothing wrong with the camera, just the setting. HDR mode shouldn't be used to capture motion. Only use it for still objects/scenery

The ghosting is normal as the phone actually takes 2 pictures at different exposure brackets. If your hand moves between shots then the algorithm will have a hard time merging them.
Yeah it's HDR that's causing it.
Right, that what i was thinking. Ghosting is quite different from the effect in these pictures. Must be HDR. i did not get time to experiment with turning it off. but i'll try again.
Thanx for the replies.
Was playing with the different camera modes the other day when my camera started acting funky. It looks like its out of focus but upon closer inspection i noticed my lens is actually moving around with the image stabilization. Pictures from far away arnt as affected but anything within 10 feet just comes out blurry. The picture also looks like its jumping around when your lining up your shot. Tried resetting the camera settings, manual focus and even a 3rd party camera app with no change. Was wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable the ois, or fix the problem all together?
Loved this phone but its just one problem after another, might just jump ship soon.
i think your camera focus is broken , replacement costs ~15$ on ebay ...
mine also won't work correctly, it's like it's in macro mode , i removed battery cover and pushed lens with finger and it focused on far objects . so this means focus is not working
Its the optical image stabilization not the auto focus. I can see the af trying to correct for the ois but the lens is constantly moving really fast making the picture all jumpy.
I can physically see the lens moving back and forth about a 32nd or 16th of an inch constantly
i just got my G2, and i took pics in night time with enough lights, and i do notice blurred lines. Is there any settings i can enable for OIS?

Ois is enabled by default. It's not a software thing, it's a hardware feature.
The g2 is horrible at night pictures regardless of the lighting so you hand has to be very calm and steady to take somewhat moderate pictures.
Anyone else have these very very bad grainy pictures?
This is with the front camera

Really? No one has a Note 4 that takes grainy pictures with the front camera?

We do, but it's expected. It's the front camera. The sensor is small, and obviously it will be worse than the back camera.
Also check that you don't have the selfie filter set too high... in selfie mode, it is automatically enabled and it blurs your face etc... it works for me and my wrinkles.. LOL
lol
I have the beauty shot down to 0 and this still happens. And compared to a Note 10.1 for example, the pictures are horrible. I am not comparing it to the back camera!
