I'm 99% satisfied of my camera, but sometimes when I take pictures of documents or book pages photos become bad quality, it looks like phone were shaked at that moment,but it did not. any solutions

Enable Anti Shake mode to reduce hazyness of pictures but remember that enabling anti shake increases the grainy texture to the image.
For close up shots of documents or pages use Macro Focus mode.

best N4 camera app?

Just looking for a replacement camera app with better overall performance
- as a bonus, an app that can take advantage of photosphere? Looks like 360panarama doesn't work on the N4. Also, ability to upload to google maps is a nice bonus to handle sharing photosphere without google+?
I'm gonna guess I am at Google's mercy with all things photosphere though.
I'm looking for one with a self timer. Don't care about photosphere...

The default camera app struggle way too much with the auto focus and just cant get it right in the first trial. Therefore, I use Camera FX Zoom as mentioned by people above too. Its a great app. Has timer.. Burst mode.. and focuses extremely quick and accurate.

Hi,
I currently use this, Camera JB+: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWpicGx1cyJd
Simple, easy, looks like the stock camera app (with her own gallery), standard settings plus a bit more, perfect for my use...
2 reasons this thread has made my day
1. I'm not the only one with a focus bug using the stock camera pp
2. It introduced me to Camera Zoom FX, it's brilliant! (if you won't miss photosphere)

Here is the million dollar question though. Does it focus well with FLASH? Google really messed up with this damn camera. I swear up and down that the Nexus One had a better camera than this garbage they put in here. It's absolutely useless with flash. I can't use it at all!! Damn you Google!!?

My problem, in addition to the worst focusing ever, is that the camera software totally blows out anything I take a picture of with flash. Pictures of my friends make them look like highlighters!

That 28,700+ (now) number is the amount of open issues with Android in general, not the auto-focus.

Well, I love photosphere and I have got into the habit of taking them almost everywhere I go and then uploading to the google maps streetview project (which makes them easy to share in photosphere mode without google+).
But, I have to assume there isn't any camera app out there that can share to google maps other than Google's own. So, I still will be stuck with the stock app for at least that.

[APP][CAMERA][UNIVERSAL] Moto x Camera

Hi,
here is a beautiful fast & unique camera app from Moto x,
Action:
•Press the screen to captures picture
•Holding the screen activates the burst mode for capturing multiple pictures.
•Dragging up and down zooms in and out.
•Swiping fingers from left to right brings camera settings, and from right to left takes to the Gallery.
•Another convenient gesture is twisting your wrist twice (quickly) while holding the camera in hand launches camera anytime. It’s a great feature for a smartphone with no dedicated camera button.
Features:
•Single shots
•Burst shots
•Video recording
•Front-facing camera toggle
•Swipe to open settings
•Swipe to open gallery
•Touch to focus toggle
•Flash mode toggle
•Shutter sound toggle
•Geo-tag toggle
The camera app can be installed as a normal APK file. Installing this camera app does not replace the stock camera of your device and having installed it, you’ll see two different shortcuts in your app drawer.

Good one, but what does the SLO mode do? It seems locked for me. I can't use it. Anyone has an Idea.?
Few others I've used
Have been using many camera apps currently. All have some or the other feature which I like. I use according to my purpose.
1. Camera Zoom FX: Using it for its Voice Activated feature and its Collage feature. Voice activated mode will click only when you make a noise or say click or cheeze etc. You can use it when you click your own pics or wanna have a group pic.
Use collage mode and click multiple pics and you'll get all of them in single pic. That's way quicker then click normal pics and then use collage.
It also has a stable indicator that indicates when the object or the phone is stable to click the pic.
2. Pro Capture: For providing many various Focus and Scene modes in one touch, especially the Macro mode and the Fibonacci Spiral is also one of the best feature it gives. The golden Spiral does make sense in pictures, I personally believe.
3. Fast Burst Camera: Name says it all. Soon I'm gonna check the Moto X for its continuous shots and if the result is better I might replace. But this app is quick good. It clicks like a machine gun. Some times even if I try to click it ones it quickly response to the second touch and takes another shot . Sorry that might be a negative point as well
4. Camera 2: This app is real fun if you like to take pictures and video like that of Old time (1940s, 1960s, etc), It has Sci-Fi mode similar to Green coloured Matrix like of stuff with number falling down in a line. Comic mode, Artistic mode. Best part of the app is that you cannot just click pictures but also take videos in those modes.
Well I used many others too but removed them for less or more their limited features.
I hope this might help you in any way. :good:

it is a slow motion video recording function. i never find a similar camera app with this function!
can anybody help me getting the slo mode (slow motion) camera app working on sgs3 PLEASE??!

Camera! Holy S4!+!

Ummm how come no reviews about it???!
The pro mode has shutter speed, ISO extension to 50 (!) and a white balance mode with a slider in degrees Kelvin.
I've gotten some crazy pics with this thing, nothing comes close in a phone. Period!
Manual shutter speeds go down to TEN SECONDS! Obviously you cannot hold it, but wow.
If you're a photography geek, go ahead and give it a whirl.

There's an option for it but it's greyed out, not sure but that's next on the list.
Of course I would need to airdroid them over to my mac and open them to check them out.
But stock camera 50 ISO pics look amazing and those are JPG!
That,s great. Finally one can take pics the way they want.

Out of box, select manual mode and adjust parameters as you see fit to take pictures just like you would do with a real camera in manual mode!
Here's some samples I took yesterday:
http://s1188.photobucket.com/user/cpufrost/library/S6 Edge Plus Manual?sort=3&page=1
And yes when you engage pro mode THEN go to options the RAW save option is available!
These samples are right from the phone, no editing whatsoever. Original JPG images right from phone. All taken in full manual mode. The cicada one (bug on tree branch) was actually taken during the day, I increased the shutter speed very high and used the flash at close range.
Even in Auto, the camera is fantastic. And being able to double-click the home button to open the camera anytime, is priceless. Big, BIG fan of this phone and the camera. Just counting down the days (years?) until we can record 4K at 60fps

And since we're making a wish list 960+ fps at 720P or greater would be nice too.
Even a 4000FPS mode at 320x200.
The camera in auto is very similar to the S6/S6 Edge. On those in auto using 100ISO outdoors I was still having exposure issues.
With the 6E+ and shutter control this is eliminated.
No need for a point and shoot.
I feel confident my Sony RX100 will even see a lot less use now.
@cpufrost
Those look great however does Photobucket upload at original quality? Any chance you can host the originals?

I believe so, if there is interest I can definitely upload originals.
I also want to open some raw files and do minimal manipulation in PS and save higher quality JPG to compare.
EDIT:
If you click on the gear icon (upper right hand corner of the pic) you can select download and it will let you download the full pic to your PC.
The first thing I thought about when I saw the 10 second exposure camera specs was astrophotos! I've gotta get to a clear area to try it out, here's some quick pictures I took in a dark parking lot with the 10 second timer on with 10 second exposure to try it out:

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto E4 Plus come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I'm not a big user of phone cameras. I never use any settings. I just open it, take a picture, and move on. If I can take a picture of what I want, and tell what it is later, and be able to enjoy looking at it, I'm happy. This camera does it's job well. No complaints.

Hi,
I have same problem with poor quality pictures and discovered and installed a new app from PlayStore. It is about FreeDCam and for me it makes a huge difference when taking pictures.
Also may be opened with double click on Power button.
Wish you all best.
Hi. I have this phone. It is from a family member. I've updated it to version 113. I've rooted it. all good. but in the rear camera, the maximum resolution is 5mpx. and in the front chamber, the maximum resolution: 13mpx.
that is, the reverse of what it should be. and in addition, the photos with the rear camera are out of focus.
I will try to go back to the rom stock, because before rooting and unlocking bootloader, it was fine.
