the martin fields screen protector i think does have a little cut out that you can put it on the camera lens at the back.

That's true, I bought from them in the past.
But now, I don't put any screen protector in my GNex screen. I am using soft-pouch and my GNex is sexy naked.
However, I am still worried with the lens because GNex battery cover does not protect that like my old HTC Desire.
So, I need protector only for the lens

I highly doubt anyone sells protective stickers just for the lens. You might have to buy a genetic protector and cut it to size yourself.

Wonky Camera?

Hi guys,
I've had a Note 2 for a couple of weeks now and its a fantastic bit of kit, I have noticed that when the back cover in place the camera appears to be lower on the bottom right corner (more deeply recessed into the case back) and you can feel it too. However if you remove the battery cover the assembly seems to be pretty level. Just wondered if any one else had noticed this? Is this normal etc?
Cheers

Yes dats how it is...seems kinda tilted downwards

I was actually looking into getting the fish eye lens and came across this on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111054770100
However, I have to remove my Poetic atmosphere case every time I have to use it as I was told. So, I'm still undecided

That thing is simply Brilliant!
Would it work using UAG case on the phone?

The photojojo macro band is great in my opinion. It doesnt work well with a case though, I usually end up popping the phone out and putting the band on. You can see some of the pictures I used it on here http://www.flickr.com/photos/sad_ryu/ (This set specifically http://flic.kr/s/aHsjHjR9hr )
Any of the macro shots (most are instagramed) in my photostream were taken using a Galaxy Nexus, Note 2 or HTC One.
Its a little tricky due to shallow depth of focus, and you need good light, either sunshine or a torch, but you can get some nice shots with it.

Has anyone got any example photos taken with those?

I was wondering why does it not work with a case on? is it due to a focus issue? I would love if i could keep my UAG case on while using the easy macro band. It seems so cool and useful

It works best when flat against the lens glass. If the case separates the two, you just get a blurry mess.

Mind sound silly but there is a small protective piece of plastic over the lense that, after 3 weeks, I finally found/removed it.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I would have to agree, I think you need to see if the plastic protector is still on the lens. I removed mine about 3 days after I got the phone. I was taking pics that looked exactly like yours do, and finally found the clear plastic protector and removed it.

Cannot locate a plastic protector on my lense. The galaxy s4 did have one though.

I'm with you, the camera on this phone sucks ass. I don't know if it's software, hardware or combination of the both. Takes too long to focus, whether image stabilization is on or not, trying to take pictures of your kids? Forget it with this camera, images come out too blurry. I like the smooth motion option on the video camera though.....

Yeah, I saw a thread not too long ago that it's a manufacturing defect, but I rooted with one of the first ways to available, so, tripped knox

I think its the case causing the ghosting and light bleeding. I can see reflection's around lenses bezel and plastic case.

The phone isn't so great at taking night shots with flash IMO. A bit too soft and not as sharp and clear as my s4. The only solution I found was to use another camera app for these type of shots. I settled on Camera Awesome on the play store. Pictures come out the same and sometimes better than my s4 with night shots with flash.

I just tried the Camera Awesome and all it did was say I needed to insert an sdcard before using the camera ??
No other apps have this memory issue

Just took a picture in daylight a cloudy day and check out what the duck looks like! Unreal, total over exposure on the white. Was set on auto with no flash.

Aside from plastic on lense, a couple other things to keep in mind/check:
Camera Mode (Auto, Night Mode, etc)
Focus point (ie. when you tap on screen to focus the picture are you focusing on the actual light or the subject that you want to capture)
Cleaned lense (sometimes a dirty or scratched lense will produce noise images)
Case, which you mentioned (have you tried taking same or similar pics not behind windsheild and without the case in question)
Last, but not least, the camera comes defaulted at 9 MP (vs 13MP advertised). Have you tried setting camera to 13MP and seeing if the quality differs?
Those are all things I would check/keep in mind. My indoor performance hasn't been stellar but I know it depends on scenario. Also, using flash at night will always negatively impact your photo quality.

I would take it in for an exchange. Dont mention anything about if you tripped knox or anything. Just show them the images. I for one bought this phone for the camera and love the pics. They blow my wifes iPhone out of the water and when compared to my bosses LG G2, I still think the Note 3's is better. Sounds like you got some hardware issues.

I was focusing on the duck when I took the image. Will try with case off. I cannot locate any lenses protector on lense. It was clean. Thanks for the tips

Front Facing Camera Question

Using the stock camera app, when I switch to the front facing lens, the image looks distorted... almost like it's a fisheye/wideangle. Is this just the lens or something? It really stretches/squishes out my head. What could it be? Or is it just the lens they use?

Pretty much all the latest Android phone have wide angle front facing cams now. Easier to fit more people.
