This camera is amazing. Share shots you've taken with it, tips on better photos and anything related to this fantastic phone's phot capabilities.
Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge... Edge+ that is

Looking good!

This is one of my best shots right now. The original is the red flower. I played with the contrast and saturation and changed the hue to make the flower more purple. This camera is really amazing and fun to play with.

Greetings everyone! I have to say I'm really loving this phone so far! But has anyone noticed that right after you take a picture it looks great while still in the camera app, but when you click on it and it opens in the gallery it looks really grainy/darker etc. Wonder why this is?

When the camera app is on the screen is at full brightness by when you switch to the gallery the screen dims back down hence the pictures looking darker

Also when you view it gallery you might need to give it a little longer to load. I've noticed that the pics look a little blurry/grainy when I first open the pic, but if I wait a few seconds it sharpens and looks good. The brightness can also play a big role.

or if you have Chainfire 3D installed it may change the textures
With all the questions about the camera post pictures taken with your M.
I will post some later today...

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...

What display settings do you use.
Right now I'm using Standard with the change color tone to save battery option. But my second favorite would be natural with the color tone option off.
I was reading that if you use Movie mode and turn off auto tone, you get the most real looking pictures and the best contrast ratio. It beats the IPhone display in every way, contrast and real color. I tried it out and it made the display look like a LCD display. It was kinda neat. Using those settings with an iphone 5 side by side to my Note 2, the Note 2 looks way better. But still, I'm not really into the washed out look of LCD displays like the iphone 5's.
Anyway I'm just wondering what display settings you guys use on you're Note 2.

i like real colors, so i try to use whatever is best for that goal.
actually, i use natural, without the auto adjusting. looks the best imo
I was using dynamic, but I've switched to movie. I like the way it looks.

I always use standard, but ill try some of the options.

I also use dynamic and just tried using Movie. Looks weird to me, everything seems...washed out. I'm sure you get used to it after awhile but everything looks so crisp and vibrant under dynamic.
Think I'll just stick with that.

I use natural. I prefer the look of my s3 but it sits in the middle of standard and natural. Standard and vivid are just way too saturated for me. Movie is slightly more dull.

After trying all of them I'm sticking to dynamic. It looks the best and more vivid IMO

Yeah I don't use Movie mode. I was just saying what it does. Maybe for people that came from the Iphone and want the screen to look more like there old phone.
I just use standard with color tone to save battery on. I really can't tell a difference with battery life with it off though.

Hey I'm currently using slim bean 4.2.2 build 8. I'm looking for a better camera app on my phone because the one that comes with the ROM is very buggy. Does anybody have an app that still has the stock Google 4.2.2 look and feel that is fully working?

I've used this one on my phone.
Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

Have you tried the 4.3 stock camera?
What's wrong with the camera? Not buggy for me. I like LG Camera from the play store
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Snap Camera from the play store works well and has the 4.3 interface
I like the 4.3 stock camera, it gives you the photo sphere option. Other than that, a camera is a camera to me.
How about camera zoom fx... havent tried that, but heard about its reviews....

Snap Camera is by far the best. Ive tried them all.

I also vouch for Snap Camera. It's like stock but with added features and simplicity.
Have to agree with ya'll, Snap Camera is pretty awesome.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here...
Normally I ignore app recommendations from this site because sometimes they're just god-awful... but lgcamera is pretty amazing. It's got plenty of advanced features for serious photographers that left their SLR at home and stumble across a perfect photo opp.
Extremely fine ISO control, plenty of resolution choices, AND the ability to set volume up as focus, and volume down as capture.
Overall, with my small snap on telephoto lens for proper zooming and a touch of manual focus, this app has restored my faith in non-SLR cameras for hobby shots. Best free camera app there is, even if the interface is hideous.

Never tried snap camera but I have a copy of the Google photo sphere (awesome features) camera, this seems to give me much better stills and video compared to the gs3 stock camera. Pm me if you want it I'll forward it to you.

Can I install the 4.3 stock camera in 4.1?
Sorry I'm noop
Has anybody in their search for a good camera alternative ever run across one that has anything like the drama mode on the S4? I would love to have that. Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

Slightly off topic, I was playing around with the Touchwiz version of the camera for the i747M and it has the anti-shake feature that can be toggled on and off. Is that a HW or a SW based feature?
I like the Touchwiz customizations in some sense but the low DPI hurts my eyes
snap camera win here.
I use CameraJB+ and absolutely love it I used CameraICS+ on my Infuse 4G before this and it took better video and pics than the stock camera......
+1 for camera jb+

Hi
I don't expect much from tablet camera but pictures taken with my n7 look pretty bad and weird. Even in decent light photos are very grading r with lots of noise. Is this normal? I couldn't find a thread for n7 photos, maybe my camera is defective?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It's normal, it's odd though that it saves screenshots in high quality PNG format but uses JPG compression for photo's.
I actually thought the pictures from my Nexus 7 are excellent (considering it's coming from a tablet). I have noticed that it doesn't do a great job in low light conditions. Here is one I took and it looks pretty good to me. You may wanna double check your settings.

Yeah but what setting I can change if there is not many in pre-installed camera app, I also tried some other apps available in play store but pictures are always the same. I must take a picture outside in very good light like yours and then compare it. I use HTC one which has only 4 mega pixel camera but pictures are much much better.
Btw, yours picture quality is very good, check this out on pc and see what difference is between mine and yours

Indoors that is pretty much par for the course. When there is bad/low lighting the camera is not very good.
