It's - again - a video telephony camera. Not really meant for taking photos. It will, in good light, make a page of typed text readable. If you need a picture, it works. If you need a good picture, use something else.

I expect to see info about the external camera add on here.
Anyone got information about it? Is it better than the internal one even thou it's the same amount of megapixels (yes I am very much aware this is a very bad mesurement of camera quality, but one might suspect that the built in front facing camera and the external one is the same kind of camera if they are both 5MP).
Hi everyone I know some are using bluetooth camera eyes which are not attached to good effect, the camera onboard is pants at best really retro back to the 80s not worth the money. I know the kodak (i think) bluetooth eye camera is good but expensive but if your willing to by that you may as well invest in a proper camera or better mobile.
Real shame they sub'd out on the this accessory as skype calls are not really doable so very poor overall a clip on via the C USB could be an option but not looked into that as yet.

IMO the noise reduction filter is to strong on this phone especially in lower light which can end up eliminating a lot of fine details, but there is a way to adjust it if you dont mind using another camera app, download Open Camera from google play and after launching app select the gear icon in upper right (Settings) then find Camera API and change it to "Camera2 API" this will unlock extra settings, now you can goto Processing Settings and you'll see Noise reduction ,you can completely disable NR here or choose Fast, High Quality or Minimal, personally I like Minimal.
Hopefully this helps someone :good:
Thanks for the tip. Have you compared Open Camera results with the GCam apk that's been shared on this forum?

I did shortly after posting previous comment and would have to say Gcam might be the superior app lol, there's no noise reduction settings but it still does a pretty amazing job at overall picture quality with HDR+ or HDR+ Enhanced enabled, especially in lower light, Not sure if i'm using the 'best' gcam version the one im using is GCam_6.2.030_N7P_test1.3a but if I discover something better I'll update.
I found out the camera glass is not very durable, even with a case, I'm on my third lense, and now the actual camera lense is scratched.

The camera is not consistent, some pics look amazing mostly and other are very grainy and not sharp, look out of focus, regardless of the lighting conditions compare the pics to the ones taken on my S9+ and those are better than my Fold's. Can anyone share their experience with the camera?

I noticed the same thing, some pictures are out of focus for no reason.

I haven't used the camera often enough to say "often", I just walked around the house mid-day taking pictures to test the camera, and several of them were out of focus. I did some testing yesterday with "A Better Camera" and got perfect results.

for some reason, samsung's software is lowering the shutter speed, instead of increasing the ISO, so in turn, will usually result in a blurry photo...
there have been others that say using the Pro mode with everything on Auto is a better solution.
unfortunately, pro mode is not available on the front facing and wide angle cameras.
pretty disappointing performance on the cameras really.
£2k phone with that bad picture quality is unbelievable.
I hope they will solve this with next update as camera is useless in my opinion.

I'm not super picky, but things look fine to me; if you look at them on a computer at full size they're a little noisy but since I'm only really interested in quick snapshots it's good for me. I'd attach examples, but I guess there's a minimum post count for that or something.

Anyone having issues with the camera app crashing after taking first pic? bloody annoying.
I think it's crashed once for me, maybe, but nothing repeated or predictable.
It's acceptable 21:9 ?

There was an update that came out this week, 53.0.A.4.114. Not sure if it fixed the issue yet or not but will test it out for a few day to find out. If gtg than this will be a near perfect device for my needs.

I can definitely answer this one. The moto camera app is very very bad. At least for the front camera, it destroys photos with noise and blur. It is in really bad shape and I got a significantly better results using Gcam. I felt the need to inform you guys about this. Mind the front camera, it's worse than g7 plus, it's worth saying it doesn't record in 4k. I'm very upset by this. And it seems it's hardware
Try the GCam! The pics are much much better than with the stock camera app

Attached photos but they are compressed i think so ZIP file also with the originals
Some colour shift between lenses which i hope they sort out

Not for nothing, that top picture is horrendous. That HDR didn't work at all around the tree.

That was a filter I added to given that effect..the original pic not like that
The problem is filters only work with the data they are provided and tune it. The HDR error is not in the filter, but in the original. And that's a problem.

We can't know for sure without seeing the original. If the filter literally adds a glow around the edges of darker objects, accentuating them against the sky, then it's working as intended and the HDR is not to blame. Since filters can be pretty fancy these days, rather than simple colour shift ones of the past, I'd reserve judgement. Some phones can even insert AR characters or masks with "filters"... Kermit the frog doesn't look like a filter to me, but some programmer thought he was.

That's not how filters work. You made that up out of thin air. This is a common problem with most every HDR system, even the very best ones will have errors like this and the filter effect you're seeing here is that it enhanced the contrast between the lighter and darker rendered areas of the sky. The problem is the rendering that was cooked into the original and the tree is the classic test example for HDR accuracy and refinement. It may not be a huge difference in the original, but the data is there and the filter amplifies it. The end result is that if this issue is cooked into the original, it makes processing latitude, whether using simple filters, or using professional processing software, extremely limited, if not time consuming.
You're trying to fake technical talk. I'm a photographer, I do this every single day for a living and part of the problem with dealing critically with smartphones and trying to get improvements is that there are people online who act like they designed the phone and are being personally attacked and then lie about what's going on to cover for the company. It's weird as hell where the phone is a tool in some countries, to some people, while in other countries, the phone is your social score. The HDR processing screwed up, BFD. No need to make up transparent lies and excuses and pretend everyone else knows as little as you.

Thread's been cleared of what were definitely some off-topic posts, that were starting to border on flaming.
Chill out, stay civil, and stick to the thread's topic.
Thanks :good:
