I took a bunch of photos today. Looking them over on my computer monitor this evening I noticed something odd. All my photos are blurry on the left side but sharp in the center and on the right side. This is for the photos taken with the phone sideways (landscape). Photos that were taken with the phone vertical (portrait) show blurriness on the top of the phone but the middle and bottom look sharp. I checked the camera lens and it is clean, no dirt or smudges. Anybody else have this problem?
I just checked mine to be sure. Nope, no problem with mine. I might be a hardware defect or something. How about pictures taken using a different camera app?

Hi all
I faced a very strange problem. Let go of the dead pixels, I am talking about the camera previewing the image very clear and OK. After the shot has taken place the photo is decorated with bright spots (red, blue..etc) sometimes 2, sometimes 5 it depends -I dont know on what. They are not present in the real view ofcourse. This is not dead pixels as they move and grow as I zoom in to the photo..Any similar encounters???? Or Advice. By the way, this is my second exchange from amazon. I asked them to send me a third unit.

Thank you for your reply. Please find attached the photo with the problem previoiusly mentioned. You can see the bright 2 spots in the middle and to the right of the picture if you enlarge it they will appear clearly. Those 2 dots are not present in the real scene nor pre the shot in the view finder. After the camera takes the shot they appear in all pictures.
Here's a snap I took with the camera right on top of a black surface. You can see there's a couple of spots near the bottom but certainly not as bad as yours. It probably happens since the camera is not made for taking black photos and as it struggles to focus, it is "tricked" into thinking there's some light there where there's not. But anyway, if it bothers you to the point where it effects your normal photos, then you should return it.
I seem to have an issue with my desire's camera.
Fotos are always fuzzy in the middle, when the focus is farer than 5 meters away. no matter which resolution or setup i choose. The autofocus dosn't work like it should - only the edges are correctly focused.
Please tell me that it's just a software bug... is there a chance to solve this?
Is there anything on the lens or the cover? Could be a smear or other obstruction

Thanks for the answer but no. It's clean.

my first desire had to go back and be replaced as the camera wouldn't take pictures that were in focus (even though the autofocus feature would appear to work), so I would recommend swapping this for another device

Just found my GN front facing camera is not centered, does anybody have this issue? i compared to SGS2 and notice that even with the phone right in front of me, the displays shows me to the side... damn it...
Well the camera is off to the right of the phone. Is that what you are referring to? I highly doubt anything else would cause it to be putting you out of frame.

Well there's your problem, the camera on the GNexus is almost at the right edge of the phone.
So I think I might've ****ed up the camera.
It's a hot day (82 F) and I accidentally left th camera on and went for a 20 minute drive. When I came back, there was a pinkish tint on my camera.
So now I'm letting it cool off (took off the back cover, case, put it facing down) in hopes that it'll return to normal. Will it?
Alright, bumping this.
The camera returned to normal, but the next day, it had that weird tinge. Then when I tried to take a picture in low light, the picture came out very grainy. There were dots everywhere and they wouldn't move. Turning to night mode made it worse.
Anyone else having this problem?

This is stupid, but worth a try: Try using a different camera app such as Camera MX or any other camera app and see if the tinge is still there.
Is anyone else experiencing front facing camera distortion?
I'm too embarrassed to take selfies or even use snapchat because of the craziness it does to my head and face.
Try it and tell me if yours does it, put your forehead in the top of the frame, or your chin at the bottom. It totally warps your face. The camera makes my head small when it's in the middle yet makes my nose huge when it's up close. Stock camera app or third party app, it's still there. The distortions are actually ridiculous.
This is too unacceptable for a phone which was supposed to have an awesome front-facing camera. I'm probably going to take it back and wait for 64-bit phones if there is no solution for this. I'll take a low field of view versus such heavy distortion any day.
I have not experienced anything like that ever - for me it's actually been the best front facing camera I've had.
Beauty face was on by default by quite a bit which can make pictures look really weird sometimes, so maybe check that? I'm not sure what else could cause that.

This was a known issue in GS5, but it turned out that it wasn't an actual problem! it's a wide angle lens on the front camera that the edges distort the image a little bit. So if you use different resolution, the faces won't look distorted!! hope this helps~
Maybe ya ain't such a BEAUTY FACE after all... ?

I can't use a different resolution in apps such as Snapchat (the only time I actually take selfies). Hopefully a custom rom/app will fix this later. For certain angles the distortion is just terrible, though.

I have a beautiful face, the Note 4 is worse than an unflattering camera, it literally distorts the hell out of it.
I ran your picture thru my note 4

The face is squished on one side, and stretched on the other.

I have the same problem, had a lg g3 and I am disappointed
Yeah I have this problem too. It's distorted and also very laggy. It's a very wide camera angle too. I'm hoping there's going to be a module to fix it.
The one solution that I have is to turn a filter on the front facing camera and see if that fixes it. I know you can't use those filters on Snapchat but try it and see if it's any better.
That's odd there's multiple people reporting this. When I read the OP I assumed you had a faulty front camera. My front camera is MUCH better than any other phone I've had! I didn't think even had a wide angle lense but simply offered the option for "Wide-Selfie", which is similar to Panorama on the rear camera.
Wide angle lenses all suffer from this issue. The note has a wide angle lens, the only way to avoid this is to stay away from the edges of the screen.
Note 4 camera distortion
My note 4 is experiencing the same problems, I absolutely love this phone but I am so disappointed with the front camera distortion, especially in snap chat. If anyone can help. please let me know.
Note 4 camera distortion SOLVED!
I know this thread is quite old but I wanted to share the solution I found which is simply to change the picture size or more specifically the aspect ratio. I believe the default photo size on Note 4 is 3.7 M with 16:9 aspect ratio, if you change to 4:3 aspect ratio the distortion goes away. No more cone head

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your solution worked for me on my LG V20!!! I've been wondering about this issue for the last couple of years actually, especially when I had the S3 and S5. I didn't realize it was actual problem with Android phones until I Googled a couple days ago and found this thread! Thanks again for saving my sanity! LOL! ???
