Rear Camera keeps on focusing - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey Guys,
Just bought the Nexus 7 2013 yesterday and everything works pretty smooth as expected. But the camera keeps on focusing while shooting a video. As I am a VFX Compositor I seriously need the camera to be stable. Is something wrong with my device or its just a bug?
If its a bug and google is working on it then fine, else this one is going back to store. Please Help.
Thanks

I think your expectations exceed the capabilities of the device. That said, try another nexus 7 at a retailer and see if yours is defective.
The rear camera is mediocre at best, and the front camera is only suitable for video chats. I only use the rear camera for scanning qcodes and UPC codes. Does a fine job on those.

Ya but it has to be stable. I know the limits of the device. Even Samsung Galaxy Tabs are stable once you hit the record button.

Anybody experiencing the same problem?

I am amazed that nobody is experiencing this problem!!!

I tried recording one time indoor and had this problem. I thought it might be low light issue and haven't tried again in outdoor setting. Same lightening works fine on Nexus 4. Will try some outdoor and see if its light related. Hope this is not hardware issue. I've been lucky so far and have avoided the other issues so far.

Buddy, did you try outdoor shooting? I am worried now....

Same on mine - indoor video shooting, keeps focusing. Haven't tried outdoors.

I tried one recently. Outdoor doesn't refocus as much but it still has slight refocusing (slight blur but not as bad as indoor). It could be due to subjects moving around and its trying to pick up the focus point.

[Q] Yellow photos w. flash on.

Whenever i take a pic with flash it gets the yellow colour tint that seems to be a general issue. Im wondering if this is softrelated, or if it's faulty hardware, or maybe even bad engineering by Samsung? Will there be a fix for this or should i return this phone?

I get the same with my Nexus. I'm not that impressed.
It's most likely software related. If you switch the setting from auto to either incandescent or fluorescent while indoors, the result will be much better.

Lets hope it is. The GNex is really awesome in every other (no_soft_related) way so i really like to keep it. Is it possible that CM will have this fixed before google or Sam will?
Galaxy Nexus stock
I get exactly the same as well
hopefully it's software related and will be fixed soon
I sent a mail to Samsung Sweden. They haven't heard of this issue. And the blame google for it, more or less.

I tried setting the whitebalance manually, and it seems to work jst fine. Makes me think this is will be fixed in an update... eventually.

I'm using camera zoom for picture taking, and my experience is that the pictures are much better with that app(not yellow with flash on) .

[Q] Port HTC camera

All the smart people out "dev's" Please no one who has never built a ROM 'with all do respect". Do you think HTC ONE camera app will be able to be ported? Or is there a camera barrier that would not even be able to snap 20 photos in 30 seconds or shoot pics while recording? I know the US version HTC ONE has a separate processor, so just curious?
No offense, but this question has already been asked and answered. The answer is a definite no, with the reason being the disparate hardware, as you have surmised.

what camera apps (or mods) are you guys using?

well, coming from the Rezound, the nexus camera has been...quite unimpressive to say the least. comparison shots here:

the nexus camera seems less focused, less sharp and overall just more blurry. this camera really is just quite bad, IMO, compared to the rest of the phones that came out at teh time (even the motorolas, eww lol) so i'm wondering, what apps are you guys using?
i've been running JB since i got it, and although i love the cool features of the JB camera and the quick shutter speed, i feel the quality of the camera/pictures/videos is not where it should be. therefore, are there any mods to the camera that maybe make it less compressed? (we had a rezound mod that did that, and pics would go from 1.5 mb to 3.5-4 mb, and we made the audio codec encode at a higher bitrate on the videos, along with a higher video bitrate as well)
basically just looking to see what i can do to somewhat make this camera atleast equal or close to my rezound! thanks!
Subscribing. I've been unimpressed with the camera as well and have heard about different camera apps making a difference.

Change note 2 camera software using note 1

Hi guys.
I wonder how can I use the camera software from note1 on note2 as it gives much better results in crispness and in night mode despite the fact that bothare 8megapixels?
Thanks

Its not all the imaging processing, the sensor has a large amount to do with it as well, unfortunately the answer is no.... The devices are 2 x different devices and they have different drivers.

Asus hyped up the camera a bit too much here. Good low light and good daylight, but everything in between can be shot better on other phones.
