I've just seen pictures (taken on a g3) of players playing football. When I take pictures of people walking fast they turn out blurred. How do I take pictures of moving subjects? Or should I use a different camera app?
thanks

I am seeing this too. Took a look at the camera settings, but didn't see anything that would address this. I thought the laser-focusing was supposed to make the camera very speedy in taking pictures.
Thoughts?
Laser autofocus makes it speedy to focus. The shutter speed defines if moving subjects are blurry.
The only thing to change on stock camera app is to set HDR to OFF (it's auto by default). Maybe this will help, if it's using HDR on these photos.
Default camera app in burst mode works just fine - press and hold shutter.

Move youre phone in the same direction as the object and take the picture
Also, make sure your outside on a bright day. Put the sun behind you (so that it's shining on your subject).
Any camera will struggle to freeze an object in motion if it's not bright enough.

On the Galaxy Nexus, I'm not too happy with the stock camera app. Many a times the camera does a bad job of post processing and the pictures look completely un-natural from the surroundings they were snapped in. Mostly it has to do with indoor photos. However I've found that adjusting the exposure setting in the camera app does help a bit to make the indoor photos a bit better.
Now I want to know if there are any apps out there who automatically do this kind of stuff? More than just setting the exposure, but to get a good image by loading various values from the camera sensors and post-processing? I'm not looking for any FX apps for retro, vignette effects and such. Just an app which snaps better photos than the stock camera?
And if you guys have tried those, could you please post side-by-side photos of the stock and the app for comparison?
I don't care if its FREE or PAID, as long as it snaps photos which will make me smile.
Thanks.
Hello,
I've been doing some digging around and it seems this may be related to the JPEG compression, but how can this be removed? All the "mods" i've came across are discontinued. Please explain.
Anyways, if my camera moves the slightest while taking a picture, it becomes blurry. Videos seem fine, but pictures almost always appear blurry.
Thanks for your help. :highfive:

If the images are blurry only when phone is shaken then it has nothing to do with JPEG compression. AFAIK One X doesn't have optical image stabilization, it has a digital IS mode for video, but not sure if there is anything for still photos. There is nothing much you can do other than hold the phone still and try to shoot under well lit conditions (to reduce shutter time).
Are you using an AOSP custom ROM (i.e CM10, AOKP etc.) ?
Also, with the stock camera app, hold down the shoot button and it'll take a few photos in quick succession and allow you to choose the best one
Just wondering can anyone tell me when you can actually use the photo effect?? I have noticed there are times when I took shots, I cant use the duo effect editing???

Ah.....I think I found my answers after googling around.....Here is the answers if anyone is interested:
There are a number of reasons why Duo Effects may not work with your photo:
One or both lens were blocked when you took the photo.
You didn't use the Camera capture mode. You can't use Duo Effects on photos taken in other capture modes.
The photo you're trying to apply the effects to was taken using the front camera.
The scene was not set to Auto.
The flash was not set to off when the photo was taken.
There was not enough ambient light when the photo was taken.
You've zoomed in or the camera may be too close to the subject when the shot was taken.
Duo Effects can't be applied to cropped photos.
Duo Effects can't be applied to the same photo more than once.
Duo modi all the time greyed out
Hi,
i have the same problem all the time the camera says lenses are blocked. But my hand is far away form the two lenses
Hi
im searching a camera which makes less noisy pictures.
I read, that the FV-5 Camera can make good pics with less noise than stock cams.
But the app doesnt work good. Everything is overlighted.
I tried ucam and others. But with the M8 cam i get noise pictures
For example on white walls
Can you suggest me some?
Thanks

Instead of searching for a camera app try going manual mode on stock camera and change the ISO.
Higher ISO makes noisy picture
Lower ISO doesn't but will force you to use a slower ShutterSpeed and your pic may come out blurry
Is basic exposure
ok
thanks for the hint
Is anyone else having luck with the camera on this phone? Any photo I take of an object that's not completely still (i.e. children, who are usually the subject of my photos) comes out so blurry as to be basically useless. My old phone from 2017 took better pictures of moving targets than this! There must be some camera setting I need to change, but I can't find it. Googling the problem is not very helpful. GCam doesn't work (the viewfinder freezes) and it doesn't seem like anyone is actively developing GCam for the S21FE snapdragon version. Please help!
Use stock cam. Uninstall any 3rd party cam apps.
Clear cam data and clear system cache.
Try again.
Does manual focus work in pro mode?
Try using AF in safe mode.
Tried that. No luck. Manual focus not much help on a moving subject.
I should mention, the entire photo is not blurry. It's like the camera picks a random object in the background and focuses on that. Anything that's not stockstill is blurry. I tried it with "tracking autofocus" enabled and disabled, and got the same results. Tried turning on/off the "intelligent scenes" as well, no luck.

It has a fast lense ie a very shallow field of focus especially if close to the subject.
Doesn't that have lasser aided AF? If so it should be spot on.
On my N10+ I need to use manual focus sometimes for very close macro shots. Otherwise it does well including tracking.

Happens to me also. Samsung tends to take photos with a higher shutter speed and lower ISO. Autofocus is also slower in the stock camera. Try OpenCamera and see if it's better.
Update: Actually nevermind, OpenCamera has the same shutter speed with lower light. It seems to be something preset in the camera API of Samsung phones.
