Every time I take a picture using the flash, the pictures have a come out dark and with a blue cast over the whole picture. I have checked the settings on the camera and even tried resetting everything back to defaults but nothing seems to help. I know I have used the flash before and didn't have this problem. Does anyone have a similar problem or a fix?
Do you have a case on with a large bezel around the camera.

No case on the camera. I am using the OEM battery door/flip cover though. Could that do it? I'll try taking it off and taking a picture.

I think it might be my camera, but I don't want you take it back. I think I got one of the good screens,I can't see the blobs or lines on the screen at the lowest brightness. Only when I really look at it in the dark but there's still barely any lol.

If you have a good screen then great haha. However the best way to test is with full brightness and a completely black image. You should see a green tint along with the lines and blobs. If you have a white SGSII, you won't really be able to see them until the soft keys turn off.

have you tried cleaning your lenses?
or taken out the protective plastic that was there when new?

I cleaned the lens with a cloth but it's still showing that little blob inside of the picture.

Does the blob go away with flash, no flash?

Still in the picture with or without flash. Do you guys think they will exchange it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
If its a new phone they should because its a manufacturers defect. There should be no charges either for that.

I just noticed this now because I wanted to use the feature but my Rogers SGS3 can't take pics during video. The buttons not even there. I thought we were supposed to have that feature. Anybody else have that? Fix?

I thought that while recording video all you had to do was touch the screen to take pics?
That just causes it to refocus on that area.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Are you sure? I don't think you can manually focus during video recording. Taping the screen during recording looks like it is refocusing the camera but that is in fact the animation it makes when it is snapping a still during recording. No sound, no sliding to the side animation like when taking photos. Just that slight focusing effect to let you know you it worked.
Check your gallary.
Not working, tried that. Just refocusing the video. You can see a button on the bottom right that says AF to establish AF again. No pictures in the gallery.

I am on rogers and can take pictures during video.
when making a video all you do is press the little camera icon beside the red record button
I noticed that it says nexus so iam guess your not on stock rogers?
I'm with rogers using a custom rom and that feature is there

That is odd. Sorry I was of no help. Not sure what the issue is and unfortunately I'm not on a stock rom so I cant dig thru the cam/settings to be of any help.
Can someone who is on a stock rom that is able to take stills while recording post a screen grab of their cam app to show what its supposed to look like?

I've seen pictures of what it supposed to look like. Just was hoping maybe there was an option I missed. Very frustrating.....
If you have anti shake turned on then the option to take pictures while video recording is not there. Simply turn off anti shake

It seems that it's very capable of taking excellent pictures, especially in well-lit situations, but is inconsistent... especially if it's low light and the flash has to come out.
That's something I'll like to pick it up. Now, I'm pretty sure ready let go of my DX for RAZR M. My DX couldn't capture more colors on the sky like RAZR M does.

Inconsistent, but decent, pictures.
This is kinda what I was referring to on the inconsistency, especially with the flash.
Pic #1 - if I hadn't blurred it, you could see how the flash completely washes out her face... I have numerous other examples of how the flash does it, extremely bad:
Pic #2 - exact same lighting, flash, etc. (obviously she moved a bit, but still basically in the same spot), and while a tad on the dark side, at least it's not washed out... again, if it wasn't blurred you could see her face very well:
This makes me think that it's a software issue that could be easily tweaked to fix - like it's not adjusting in time for the flash, or over-compensating at times. Just a guess though...
Normal pic of sunset:
HDR pic of sunset, first attempt:
HDR pic of sunset, second attempt - again, just inconsistent - much more like the 'normal' pic above:
But then, in decent daylight, in a moving van pointing backwards, it'll take a shot like this, which comes through crystal clear and pretty accurate:
So who knows...
Took a pictures today of a lamp in the dark room. Top with HDR on and bottom without HDR.

Hello I have 4 perfect circles going vertically on the right half of my screen, they are about a half inch diamenter. They have an outline of about a 1/10th of an inch outline.
Anyone else have this issue? I tried to take a screenshot but this is a screen issue so it doesn't come out on the pictures. Ill try to get a picture.
Any input on what they could be??
They are more easily viewed on whote backgrounds or any light color background

Did you have an image on screen for an extended period of time? This sounds like a burn in. It happens on these screens when something is on the screen without moving or any changes. It just burns in. If you go thru some of the settings on the phone there is an option that helps against this.

If I use my alarm clock the stock Android one and dim the screen so the large clock shows will that lead to a burn in? It's something I would always do with my old lcd but now I'm scared with this phone
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Are you using a screen protector? If so, try the burn in test without that on and see if those circles are still there. It might just be the screen protector.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The four circles may be correlated to the four fingertips of your left hand. Could it be that the screen protector is damaged with some kind of oil deposits? Have any KFC lately
I have the same thing. You only see it when you look at the phone from the side... so I don't mind at all

Yes leaving the screen on all night with the clock can cause burn in.

Wait.... so any image in the background can cause burn-in on these screens? That's some BS....I always have a background with images on for a good period of time....

So I was about to take a picture of some dried fruit that I purchased at work to a buddy and I noticed that the white desk that I'm on look like it had a red tint to it. Then I moved the blue packaging out of the way and the color went back to white how it should be. I asked my coworker to let me her iPhone 5 & I open her camera and when I try to reproduce this effect on her phone hers got the colors right. I took pictures screenshots during the shots in the same position one with the blue packaging and one without so you can see the difference of color that happens. This is extremely disappointing for me for a camera so good supposedly. Take a look at the attached picture to see what I'm talking about I know it sounds a bit confusing.

And just to clarify moving the package of the fruit to the right to the point where it's almost not on the screen what caused the coloring to go back to normal as I would move the packaging back towards the left the color would get worse
