Noticed a white fading band at the top of my camera image. Here is a screen grab where u can see what I'm taking about. It fades son its hard to tell if its even all the way across as some sort of UI design or if its my camera being faulty/ shifted out of position . Any thoughts?

Wow. I see it. Took me awhile to figure it out. My phone has the same thing. It might be normal or a theme thing. Lets see what other people have to say.

I have this as well, it seems more pronounced when viewed on the phone but when you look at the screengrab on the pc, you can barely notice it.
Also i tried taking a picture of what was in the viewfinder and the picture comes out as pure black, with no fading band. I'm assuming this is a software issue rather than a faulty camera or bad camera placement.
Have you noticed when you take a picture in low light and then click on the thumbnail on the right and start moving the screen around the edges of the photo go all weird ?
I also have this, I think this is just a frame around camera app.

Does anyone notice that there's a 'mountain' icon (or something that looks like two triangles superimposing on each other) on the top left corner when using the front camera? It doesn't appear when using the back camera and I can't find a way to make it go away. Does anyone have a clue what this sign mean?

Is it important?
I mean it doesn't come out in pictures right??
No it doesn't affect the real photos; I ask only because that icon wasn't there when I was on 4.0.3 and before. I wondered if I had accidentally turned on some camera features and if so I'd like to turn it back off.
Mountain icon means Infinity focus mode, flower icon means macro mode. These two symbols are basic camera symbols for every camera made on the planet Earth

I was also confused, just came back from Magratheea.
In other parts of the 'verse it is synonymous with stripclubs as you call them.
Don't forget your towel.
Thanks for pointing this out to me. But since this mountain icon wasn't there before 4.0.4, I wonder if there's a way to turn off this infinity focus mode?

First of all, I've been meaning to make this thread for a very long time. I got the M7 about 3 months ago, and I noticed that the pictures don't come out very good.
I'm rooted, using a Google Play rom (4.4.2), and using the new Google Camera app to take these pictures.
But my problem is, most of my pictures come out like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And what I noticed happens is:
When I'm looking through the camera, the picture LOOKS fine.. and then as soon as I hit the camera icon to take the pic, the images automatically just blurs itself out. It seems like it wants to focus, but it ends up just becoming super blurry.
Then I can click ANYWHERE on the screen to focus, but then the rest of the images becomes blurry.
Any suggestions please? I don't even enjoy taking pictures anymore because of this.
Definitely not normal. My phone takes phenomenal pictures. Only downside is occasionally in really dark areas; the white balance is off a little. Here ill attach a few in a minute.
Examples
Defiantly not normal. I would try a different rom before saying its the camera.
attached is a pic i took with the Google Camera app but running Bucks AOSP build 4.4.3
you might want to try his rom, it's like GPE but without the bugs that follow from a port sometimes.
OP may wanna try updating firmware and maybe try 4.4.3 GPE posted here, instead of 4.4.2.
It has improved quite a bit in my opinion.
Make sure you aren't in lens blur mode

Oh and another thing; although I'm sure you already tried this; wipe your lens with a clean t-shirt or microfiber cloth (comes with glasses). Sometimes Ill touch my lens; and even if i don't have greasy fingers, a slight smudge can really destroy a photo.
Just look at the picture I included. Zoomed out looks fine, just a little over sharpened. The minute you zoom in, you can see the oil painting effect. You guys think this can ever be fixed?

I had this on my s5. Could be a software issue
Dumb questions but it appears you sent screen shots of the pictures.. Can you upload the actual files? It could be the screens over sharpening but may not actually be in the image.. Also the stock camera defaults to 10mp but you can up it to 13 to see if it helps with the detail.. Also make sure your camera lense doesn't have a smudge on it.
Mine is the same way, though probably worse. Very disappointed in the camera on this thing. Its all software related, so hopefully someone can find a fix.
I posted a few pictures (linked directly, not uploaded) of something very similar in the picture thread. Seems HDR is a very big source of the issue, and looking at your picture, its certainly an HDR image. I'm on to A Better Camera, and its a little better but not much.
For as far as you zoomed in I think it looks OK. I can't shoot now zoom later with the g3. ?

what is the best i can do about it?
Show more shots, is it always in the same place ?
Does it show this in pictures of other things as well, not LCD screens?
Your picture looks kind of like it might be showing something related to a moire pattern.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern
You have two "screen door" type devices, the LCD screen, and the camera's sensor, both in-play together.
What about a picture of something else with small details across the whole image? Like a rug, couch cushion, something like that.

Have this on my note 4. Blemish stays in same spot. All of my photos have it
Piece of dust on the lens inside the phone. Get it exchanged.
I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?
Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?
Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.
I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!
So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!
