1. When i try taking pictures using the stock camera app i get a full view but when i try to record a video i get a zoomed in view. Why is that?
2. In indoor lighting when i try to record a video it continuously shifts from blurred view to clear view. Why?
Is it only on my phone or in every phone?
If you know anything about this please reply.
Update: found the solution for first problem. It's because of image stabilization being turned on. But can't we record a stabilized video in full view?

1. Its due to EIS. It works on cropping out the video to provide a stable video. If you had OIS hardware on the phone, the video would be full view.
2. Autofocus issues. Try other camera apps and see. Like Open Camera App.

Nope
Just stick to other cameras like Google camera port. Its the best I have seen as of now for our phones. The stock camera is a snapdragon camera. Nothing can be modded as of now

You can record a video, open Google photos and then stabilize it. The output might not be great for super shaky videos but it will do the magic of almost all videos without cropping much

When I take a picture, it shows for a brief moment then goes back to the camera. But in that brief instant, the quality of the picture is much lower than what its actually stored as.
Why is that? It always leads me to believe I've taken horrible pictures when in fact they might be good enough.
For those wondering, I primarily take pictures of Notes / Random papers with information. It's usually text, so it would seem as if its not legible, when it could be.
My simple workaround is taking 2 pictures per page just to make sure.. But, is there a better camera app?
There are several dozen camera apps on the play store. Find what works for you.
I agree there is lots of camera apps like:

Thank you guys. Although I have to ask, Is there some remade version of the same app that works better? A fix of some sort

its not broken, its just a preview of what you just snapped. swipe to the right to see the actual image, swipe to the left again to go back to the camera. I think this happens when you have HDR mode on, since it has to stitch together several photos
---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------
Also it's more noticeable when using the zoom, but so far the digital zoom has not disappointed me, i use it to take pictures of the whiteboard in my accounting class cuz the professor likes to explain everything with huge confusing diagrams and then erase everything

No. It does this with regular settings as well.
When I take a pic with the flash, the instant preview looks really bright like my flash killed the photo making me think I need to take another, but when I swipe to the right, the photo looks perfect.

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the photos taken with the default camera app is a little skewed at the edges?
The camera is great for macro shots but when shots are taken from a distance, I can't help but notice that the subjects on the edges get distorted or stretched.
It would be nice if we shared our experiences on this. After all, this phone was touted to have the best camera at the time of the launch.
Thanks.

I feel this may be a hardware issue and not just a software glitch as I have noticed the same distortions with the in-built Charm Cam App. It could possibly have something to do with the lens alignments or maybe it's just an isolated case with my phone. But I have no means to verify my allegations as I don't have another phone to carry out comparisons.
In any case, I request other owners to please share your findings with regards to the image quality on this camera.

The primary reason i found for noise is that iso gets too high in auto mode.it might just be software issue. But we dont have other phone with same hardware(OV 16825)
Since kernal sources are avilable i hope they provide some light
Also as the camera is capable of [email protected] 60fps i would like if some dev removes this constrain of [email protected]

I took a 1080p video and found no distortion along edges this in theory proves it is not due to hardware problem i.e. lens alingment

Is the camera quality on snapchat with the 6p good like stock camera app? I have a lg v10 and its very fuzzy and grainy and am thinking of switching to the 6p if the cameras are good.
The reason Snapchat pictures suck is because they basically take a screen shot of the video instead of using the actual camera app. So every phone will take poor snap chats when compared to the stock camera app.

not sure where you got this info but i doubt its true. Mainly because when you go to record a video, the front facing camera zooms in a little which is exactly what the google camera app does when you switch from photo to video.

Snapchat for me has been really nice and crisp. Basically like taking a photo with the normal camera. Plus having an 8mp camera for the front facing makes them super clean. Although when recording video with it, the exposure goes way down and thats really annoying. I don't know anything about what that guy said but my Nexus 6P takes hella good pictures whether on snapchat (which i use A LOT) or on the camera app

Thats good to know ! i think im going to find someone to trade me a 6p for my v10. So on the 6p there isnt noise in the photo and looks clear like original camera app? Every LG phone i had g2,g3,g4 and this v10 all had that problem on snapchat, not sure if they arent optimized or what.

It is true. Feel free to Google it, it is a commonly known thing nowadays. There is a difference between Snapchat photos and actual photos with the FFC, fact.

Hi all,
I haven't been used any phone which have optical image stabilization (OIS). I decide to buy a new Galaxy S7. I come to a store and give some tests. When I zoom in and take some photos using volume down button, I see camera trembles. When I restart the camera app, everything is back to normal. This happened twice.
Please help to check this video:

So, it's a major problem or is it ok? Why did the camera tremble? And does this happen to other phone which support OIS camera?

It should be for the camera too. Ois is mechanical is it not? So if its video or pictures it should stable out. I would think

Turn off Video Stabilization in the settings, because that is software stabilization. It will switch to OIS if you turn it off.
IOS is always on for photos or video. here is a good look.. go to 6:15
I don't think you can turn off ois. It's literally a floating lense. All it does is reduce micro movements you make by letting the lense float and not react immediately with your body movements. If you point it at something and move slightly you will notice it takes a second to sort of drift over on screen. Pretty cool.
Hello,
I would like to ask if anyone has encountered the following issue:
When I try to make night photos with light gathering in Pro mode, the camera gathers too much light. Now I try the following settings: WB - Auto; Focus Auto/100; Shutter 4/8/16 seconds; ISO 100 in 48 MP mode. Now what I get with this configuration is too much light absorption. Pictures get really yellow and bright around any light sources. This makes taking pictures of car taillight trail for example impossible.
Now before you say to try different settings - I have. I also have the PRO version of the phone, and pictures are being way way better with the exact same settings. I will upload some examples as soon as I have them on my PC.
Has anyone encountered such an issue with the stock cam app?? Any way to fix it?? Any better cam app that might help out?? Can this be a faulty camera all together and should I contact the seller? (phone bought from China so you can figure how that will go).
Thank you very much in advance

i had exposure problems!
but i used gcam and the camera of lightroom for normal usage and its been good so far
the images of stock camera felt lil bit unnatural to me
yeah! gcam and camera of lightroom would be good
the video recording was too much annoying for me mainly for the crop and noise in the video
and ive been using open camera for video recording which is producin 100 times better result than stock one
even gcam had problem with video recording

Thank you very much. Do I need the phone rooted to use those??Also can you provide links for the gcam / opencamera video recording apps, as well as any configuration you find good?
It just seems strange that 2 phones with presumably same sensor, can make such different photos with the same settings. Yes one is RN7 and the other is RN7P, but still they should have identical cameras.

that is fundamentally incorrect. it's almost as if saying all 12mp sensors on every mainstream phone out there should be same as they output the same 12mp images.
rn7 has samsung isocell gm-1 sensor, which is unproven compared to the sony imx586 on the rn7p. there will be differences for sure.
