Hi all, how "sharp" is your maincamera? The middle sensor/camera is the main camera and is smudgy everywhere except the center when being a bit close to an object. This is filmed at about 10cm of the flyer.
Whenever the device switches to the "ultra macro" (which is if im correct, the wide angle lens), the picture is crisp clear again. Do you all have this?
This is without HDR, with Android 11.0.2.2 after cache clear.

Yes, i want to know if anyone else have that problem? Well i live in Turkey so i couldn`t try it on 3G network, but when i use coolcamera app. i see that the picture is very very fuzzy (i couldnt even understand where it shows on the screen) and it is rotated 90degreed as default. Is that because of the under quality front camera that htc uses on hermes or is it that my front camera is broken?
It is (both the quality and the rotation).
The pictures shouldn't be completely fuzzy. It should be relatively sharp depending on the lighting. The issue is probably the focus mode the lense is in.
On the back of the phone, next to the camera lense, is a little slider with a dot and a picture of a flower. You might have it in Macro mode. Adjust the slider so that it is next to the Dot instead of the Flower. Macro mode is for taking pictures of up close objects.
--EDIT:
I just re-read your post and noticed you are talking about the front camera, not the back camera. Sorry!
[I searched for this on the forums -- apologies if it's already been answered.]
I'm photographing/videoing through a kaleidoscope. Beautiful results with fixed shooting, but a problem when moving the phone. I made a small rig for the phone and a prismatic kaleidoscope (one with a glass element at the end), so that it's locked in place directly in front of the rear lens, and is completely rigid with respect to the phone -- no relative movement. (In other words, the phone and scope are part of a fixed unit.) THEN... when I hold the rig, and point it around the room, the image seems to lag slightly behind the movement, almost as if there's an inertia in the filming. (For example: start off motionless -- wonderful picture. Then move the camera upwards -- the image shifts up, but when I stop moving the phone, the image then continues moving slightly. It's always in the same direction as the original direction of movement.
I notice this with the camera mode too: hold it still in your hands, and then move it smoothly upwards. When you stop moving, the image keeps moving a little longer.
Is this some kind of damping on the camera, to stop jerky movements? Is there a way to turn it off? It makes locked-off filming of the kaleidoscope image almost impossible (or at least, it looks pretty poor, as though it were hand-held).
If anyone has any ideas / solutions, I'd be grateful; in every other respect the filming on the camera is superb.

Update -- a weird parallax effect (without the parallax)!
Hi --
Looking into this in more detail... here's an experiment to try. And if you can explain why it happens, I'll be impressed.
Hold the phone up, in camera mode, pointing at a distant wall, say, and hold a pencil to one side of the phone so that it partly sticks into the shot. (Angle the pencil so that it's pointing away from you, then try to focus on its tip.) With grid lines turned on, and keeping the pencil as still as possible, relative to the phone, move the phone gently from side to side.
The pencil MOVES relative to the gridlines, swaying back and forth (and up and down too if you move vertically), even though you aren't changing the position of the pencil relative to the camera by one millimetre!!!
What is going on? Why is the camera software (it has to be in software) doing this?
(I have a video of this to which I can post a link, if people don't believe me!)
I doubt there's a solution to the effect, but I'm intrigued to know why it happens (and immensely frustrated).
AND I've just discovered that it doesn't happen on a colleague's S5 !! did Samsung change the way in which the software works?

i believe this is the OIS feature of the camera. I don't know if it can be disabled though
Hello.
My G6 camera (right hand side) is extremely blur when I want to take a photo.
It seems like the right hand side lens is dirty or damaged so the picture quality is very very poor. You can't even recognize the face of the person you shot.
But if I change to wide view angle it is fine as normal.
But is matter here.
I am experiencing clicking noise when I shift between front and rear camera, changing between modes for rear camera. It's a fairly loud noise, at least the loudest I have heard for all the smartphones I have owned since a decade ago.
This is weird because the noise seem to start on my 2nd day of owning the phone. Don't think I notice it yesterday.
Any of you experiencing the same?
THis is completely normal. It's just the aperture opening and closing quickly.
If you look closely at the middle camera while switching between front and rear camera (just swipe up on the screen while looking at the rear camera), you'll see the aperture quickly close then open again. That's the sound you're hearing. Nothing to be worried about.

If camera aperture closes n open hundreds of times per day will it cause physical damage? As it has physical components?
Coz i use snapchat a lot
And whenever i open snapchat it ll open close the aperture shutter.
Yes, the aperture operating sound is unusually loud.

I set zoom to 3x and move phone closer towards the object and then move it back.
I guess it switches between lenses but what about that change of the quality?
Can anybody with OnePlus 8 Pro do the same test? Is it expected or is it an issue with my device?
As you get closer to an object your phone is smart and it automatically switches to your macro lens. When you move close it's automatically assuming you want a high-quality close up picture
