I've been having an issue with recording video on my Sprint LG G2 (currently stock ZVC, rooted). When I zoom in, the image blurs. I don't have a similar issue with still photos -- only video. It's very frustrating. This problem isn't new on my phone -- it has persisted through the last 2 software updates.
Has anyone else experience this and found a solution?

This topic is about multiple camera issues including issues with photo quality, as well as issues with the front facing camera within snapchat.
SNAPCHAT
The issue with snapchat, is that the front facing camera distorts whatever it's looking at. For instance, when taking selfies with snapchat my face is distorted in the form of a stretch. I'm not sure if this is a snapchat issue regarding the galaxy s3, or a cyanogenmod issue regarding my phone.
PHOTO QUALITY
As for photo quality, well this is a much bigger issue. Let's start with the problem: The camera (using any rom, stock or not) is creating vertical colored lines in photos containing, but not limited to, low light environments.
I had my phone replaced and when I got it back and flashed cyanogenmod I started noticing the issue. I reverted my phone back to stock uprooted to see if the problem persisted, and it did. I took my phone to the sprint store, and they replaced the camera in my phone while keeping the rest of the phones body. I took a few photos using stock 4.3 touchwhiz, call it what you want, and I didn't see any issues. Note, it was only a few photos that I took. Eagerly to opt. out of Touchwhiz, I rooted and went back to the same version of CyanogenMod I was on. Photos are still ending up the same, with vertical lines of all colors disrupting the picture.
In addition, the flash makes a noise with the stock cyanogenmod camera app, almost like the flash could be malfunctioning. Snapchat pictures with the flash work fine. When taking a photo with the flash on and my thumb covering the flash, the photo worsens with the issue. (more defined, and more quantity lines)
Any ideas, comments, questions and concerns are all appreciated.

i don't use snapchat at all but does it use the stock cm11 camera for its picture taking? cause I got a few fixes for the cm11 camera cause their cameras ALWAYS gave me problems and crashes...i'll link you over, then you can tinker away and see what's what:

Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped". I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app. The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
I have tried a full factory reset, and even waited till the next OTA was released (v10i), hoping that a new ROM would fix this, but still having the same problem
Yesterday, when showing someone the issue, the zoom was working ... which confused me, but then later on during the day, had to reboot the phone. Went to show my partner last night that it was working, and it was crashing again. This morning tried to zoom, and yep, it seems to be working today
This has really got me stumped. If it was hardware, you would expect it all the time, and for it to fail on other 3rd party apps. I like the stock app, but cannot use it as my default in case I have the zoom issue, and therefore lose what I am videoing
Anybody have any ideas on this?
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10i-EUR-XX
Has nobody else had this issue, or any ideas how to resolve?
I've been noticing something very annoying with my rooted LG G3 (VS98510B). Whenever I record something, the camera goes dark as if I lost light. This happens with my girlfriend's G3 (t mobile) as well. This is especially noticeable in in-door areas, and it's even worse when I record something through Snapchat. I have the stock camera app, stock firmware (kit Kat 4.4.2) and no custom Rom or kernel. I've tried installing the modded camera app a few months ago but it made my camera app force close when I tried opening it. I might try installing that mod to see if it helps. What do you guys recommend? Are any of you experiencing this?
I've posted this in the CM13 Thread as well but I decided to post it here since its been happening even on stock rom.
The problem is that my front facing camera is EXTREMELY smoothened. Especially in Video Calls (Skype, Whatsapp, not in Google DUO apparently)
Its been like that even when I was on Stock Rom before changing to CM13. Anyone else encountering/ed this issue?
So, I've had this issue for a while now and have just dealt with it for the past year. I've searched to see if others have experienced the same issue, but haven't found any posts...so here it goes.
In 3rd party apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, when the camera first opens (front and back camera) everything looks normal. Once I take the picture however, the pic turns 45° and stretches the picture. I actually first experienced the rotation issue in Periscope. Everything is rotated a whole 180°, not usable at all for live streaming.
Has anyone else experienced this at all and a perhaps knows of a fix?
I have factory reset my tablet twice to see if it was caused from an app I previously installed; yet still happening.

I've had this same exact problem with sending screenshots to people.
