Stock MDB08I - no root
Noticed if I take a ton of shots in one go and switch between video and camera that I will on occasion lose an image. Pain in the rear as this seems to have happened where even the last shot preview shows a taken shot but clicking it shows NO shot saved. Even Google photos app doesn't show the image. Did a dump of DCIM folder and shots are missing. Had this happen now 5 times in the last week. Taken 200 images so far and 5 images just took and showed in preview - SO it's not operator error of shot actually not taken - shot shows in last shot preview but doesn't save. Wondering if the lag on HDR processing is causing a stall on processing and inadvartent loss of image?
Others seeing this at all.
I've noticed lost shots too. Really hating the lag with the camera app and I'm thinking that's the cause.

If you're shooting many shots in HDR+, then yes, you'll likely max out the phone's ability to post-process all of those images. Others have noticed this after taking 3-4 HDR+ photos in succession.
Same issue here. As far as I’m concerned, I think this is a big problem and this should be a PSA/sticky thread until the issue is fixed.

can anyone get the auto focus to happen automatically on the camera? only way for me is to tap the screen or hold the capture button. just wanted to know if that is normal because what i liked about the 4s was that it would actually autofocus during camera mode. thanks
i'm finding the same type of issue lately...
every time i attempt to use the camcorder the autofocus does not function at all. i remember it did work at one point...now if i get within like 4-6 inches of anything it's blurred. and can't screen tap to focus.
frustrating.
I seem to be having the same issue lately, the camera autofocus does not appear to be working for me either. my front camera takes perfectly clear pictures but the 8 megapixel rear camera photos look horrible now. blurry blurry blurry I have tried installing a couple of different camera apk's.... going to install another 1 now and see if that changes things. if not I will soon tar back to a completely stock set up and see how the camera works .

I'm having this odd issue with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. Over the past week I noticed my photos in the gallery app were being shifted around, as if they were taken later or earlier. So I tested something out, I took a photo and went to the gallery. Normally its sorted by whatever picture you took last but its not like that anymore. When I look at the picture I just took, it shows it as future date, like say July 22st when I clearly took the picture today (July 21) or yesterday. Anyone know whats going on here?
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
Try the gallery app from the market called QuickPic. It's the last gallery app you will ever use.

quicpic is great..but whats really annoying is when taking a picture and trying to preview in the camera a different picture shows up. I have to swipe quite a way back to get to the picture I just took.
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
I hope someone has the same issue or that this is a "normal" behavior of the HOX, but I don't think I ever noticed that until 2 days ago; anyway here's the problem.
When I take a picture with my camera, the picture looks great during review time (the option you set in settings 3 or 5 seconds). But when I open the same picture in gallery it seems that the quality is lost. I can notice that since as soon as I review the picture, I click on the lower left corner to open the picture again and I can see the difference between the "review picture" and the "saved picture". This is especially apparent in the front camera: when I take a picture of myself, my eyes look very sharp/cartoonish.
I have been running ARHD for a while since 14.2 and I am on 18.1 now. I installed lyapota mod pack which included camera jb mod extrim. I thought it was because of the mod so I did a clean installation of the rom with full wipe and the same problem was there.
Please advise.
Thanks to whoever will help!
May be a different viewer is used(triggered) to view the saved photos.
And thus thus could be a viewer app problem, not the photo quality itself.
Did you try to open these photos on your PC to see how are they looking there?

Yes I did, unfortunately it's the same problem.
Could it be that the preview is smaller than the actual image, and that the quality therefore looks better, because the preview is smaller..?
Try to post a picture you have taken, to show what you mean.

Here is a picture showing both scenarios. I took a screenshot during the review (on the left) and then i opened the actual image. I put them side by side. Notice the color fading and the noise/loss of sharpness in the right picture. This is with normal day light, the effect gets worse when in low light.
Does anyone know what the Lucky Shot feature is?!?!? I'm the only one in the world trying to figure it out apparently. I'm wondering if it is on both 6P and 5X. I know that 5x has 120fps slow motion, and no burst mode. but this Lucky Shot thing has me confused, apparently it is NOT the same thing as SmartBurst.
from Nexus enginners Q&A on reddit:
"We've done a bunch of things to provide image stabilization: 1. The Nexus 6P/5X has a large 1.55um pixel camera and the amount of motion blur due to hand-shake is lower when you have large pixels. 2. We have a feature we call "lucky shot" internally. When you take a picture, behind the scenes, we select the best of 3 bursts of images. 3. When you use video, we have optic-flow-based image stabilization. 4. When you use SmartBurst, we select the best image from the burst (for example a shot with eyes open)."
It just means when you take a picture it actually takes 3 and chooses the best for you automatically.. It's not a setting or anything.. Just something that happens behind the scenes
cool, got it, but does it work on the 5X or just the 6P.
Both

I like this implementation better than the Moto X's one. It gets cluttered with double takes of pics, thus having me to look through them to see which to delete. I trust Google to pick the best pic
But I think only HDR+ uses this feature.
Because Google advertised HDR+ with exactly this feature.

"HDR+ also begins the alignment process by choosing the sharpest single shot from the burst. Astronomers call this lucky imaging, a technique used to reduce the blurring of images caused by Earth's shimmering atmosphere."
