If it is the stock gallery which you are talking about than it is a bug. I have the same issue.

That's probably because the pictures aren't in 16:9 aspect ratio.
If you took them with the camera app, the default ratio is 4:3. Note 2's screen is 16:9.
You can change the camera's ratio in camera > settings icon > resolution.

Can't find that in settings and it is stock camera app doing my head in

zoom in camera stock??

I want to know if there is any script that can activate the zoom in the camera, for me is an important function in the phone, or if someone recommends a functional application in the Xperia Play
cropping your pics after u have taken them will give u better quality or slightly better quality pics instead of zooming which can't be implemented in the stock camera apk
And that goes as well with a third party app like camera zoomfx. Just bought the app thinking there would be a zoom function while using the camera.

You just need to change the zoom type in setting to zoom number 4 (i think)
It zooms in then

It's definitely Zoom type 4. Though, the picture quality is really bad with digital zoom. You're much better off cropping a 5mp image, if quality is a concern.
Will try that Zoom type 4.

Pictures from Gallery

black spots on the camera

I have black spots appearing on the camera and in the photos I take. I tried tor remove the screen protector and wipe the camera, but it isnt doing anything.
Are these on the picture while viewing on phone or on the pictures on your computer as well? I think it just might be black ink blob problem that most galaxy s3's suffer from because of the super amoled display.

Black border in camera app?

How do I get rid of this? I know there's an easy fix to make it be full screen again but I can't remember it for the life of me.

Put it in the 13 mpix mode?

Actually the 13 MP setting causes that black frame. When you set your resolution from the camera settings to 10MP (Wide) it should be fine.

The reason being is because 13mp has 4:3 ratio and 10mp has a higher ratio (16:9 if I remember correctly) thus the 'view finder' reflects that.

Exactly.
Thanks! It was driving me nuts that I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. I guess I'll stick with the 10mp mode as I really don't like the black borders.

They aren't "borders" those black bars are caused by the different ratio of the image as I mentioned above. This week happen in all camera apps so unfortunately it looks like you will be stuck using 10mp if you don't like the black space.
