Is it normal for the TP2 picture to stutter when trying to take a picture. If there is perfect lighting in the picture there is no stuttering in the picture, but if there is a light source or if it goes from the dark to a light area it stutters badly as it attempts to balance light levels and focus.
Does anyone else have this issue or is this normal?
When you say "stutter" I suppose you mean that your pics come out blurry due to your device shaking in your hands?
This is normal in low light conditions. Since there's not enough light, the camera compensates by slowing the shutter speed to allow more light to pass through the lens. The bad side to this is the slow shutter speed will also exaggerate any camera movement and this translates to blurry photos unless your device is fixed on a stationary object (and your subject is not moving).
yes! that is exactly what I am seeing. Yeah, i did not know that was normal. the screen refresh was so choppy it is hard to take a clear picture in low light. This is my first nice phone ive had and i am not used to all the features. Thanks for explaining that to me, I appriciate it!
You're very welcome, man. Just so you know, this isn't specific to our TP2. It applies for all cameras. Those with a flash would help a bit, but not much if it is really dark.
If you try to take a picture with any camera outdoors at night without a tripod and flash, it'll come out terrible.
I just laughed when I read the TP2 camera was 3.2 with no flash.
I will never use the camera because the pictures will come out looking like crap 90% of the time.
The camera for me is honestly useless. But oh well, the rest of the phone makes up for it.
camera works good with barcorama app. takes decent pics in well lit areas
My camera has terrible focus, I've tried the half-hold on the camera button and tapping on the screen, but all my pictures come out horribly blurry. Is there a different setting a should try out? I maintained that an LED flash was one of the better things about this phone when put next to the Vibrant, but its not like the camera produces anything other than blurs anyways...
take off the small camera scratch "protector" ?
little basterd gets hazed over time
Well I also noticed its only sharp when I'm literally about an inch away from the subject. I'm gonna take it up to the t-mo store, and I'm hoping I can walk out of there with a replacement, or somehow...a Vibrant!
Just wondering if anyone noticed this and if it had affected the initial reviews on the camera of this phone. The smallest smudge on it affects the picture quality A LOT. I wonder if it's because it's resolving at such a high MP so it exaggerates the oil or dust.

This. I also noticed that when I was first playing with the camera, the "Beauty Shot" option was on in the camera settings. It blurs the photos significantly, at least the front facing camera. I think it's turned on by default. TURN IT OFF!
EDIT: Also, for night shots, I insist on the HDR mode, simply because the camera will not adjust exposure for **** at night or in any dark room. So it's a must. You have to hold the camera perfectly still, and make everyone keep smiling for a few seconds, because it takes several shots in sequence. But it's worth it. Pictures always turn out great.
I have began to take pictures and really try all the features this phone has to offer. One that interested me was the 8mp front camera. I am in no way a selfie taker but occationally when I'm with the family I'll venture. I took a few pictures this afternoon and realized that the focus is awful. The focus is on half the image. I tried the touch the screen to refocus and it shows the square and refocuses but when i view the picture it seems whatever is closes to the lens is what is in focus, sometimes the cheek others the nose but never thr full face. I see the slide bar on the bottom and i turned it "off," but i still get unfocused pictures. Does this happen to anyone???
Hello,
is also someone else encounterin blurry macro / near range pictures with the main camera?
I have this issue also with the pro mode of the original camera app and in all resolutions of the main camera.
I compared my S22 with an A71 (2020 model) and the A71 makes significantly better makro pictures. (Example pictures attached)
On the left side is the A71. On the right side the S22. Same distance.
It is possible to focus on the blurry areas on the S22 to make the blurry spot sharp. That's why i actually think it's no hardware issue.
The phone is on the current SW. Last update S901BXXU1AVDA from 20th of April 2022.
Thanks

May be the blur map of that particular lense.
I thought so too.
I tried making a picture without moving as good as possible.
On the left i focussed manually the "M" and on the right side i focussed manually the "8".
Might be a bad copy... it happens.
Try using a proper blur chart to standardize the issue.
hello,
I'm having also blury pictures.
I had noticed it as I took pics of printed media. Ofcourse cam was parallel to the objects while taking pics.
Unfortunately it will be a problem of the lens ;(
I actually still hope it's a software problem.
Since i can manually focus the objects.
A friend in the meantime bought a S22+ Exynos model.
Exactly the same issue with close objects blurry zones appear around the center of the focus.

Purely an optical effect. All lens have a blur pattern, this is a $600 macro. It's desirable to have the least blur near the center.
How to measure blur.
If that's the case then the camera of the S22 is cleary worse than my previous phones when it comes to near / macro pictures.
Note9, S10e, S7... I think all made at least better macro pictures with not such wide ranges blurry.
That's btw. the only disappointing thing about the S22. The rest is absolutely fine.

Too close ie out of range, cam shake or inaccurate AF.
Try manual focus...
First: I completely agree with blackhawk.
Second: Please redo the comparison with a flat and perfectly parallel to the phone aligned subject.
Third: It is a bit easier for the A71 to create less blurry makro pictures, because its sensor is a bit smaller.
Forth: The A71 lens has a bit less wide angle. To create the same picture the S22 needs to be placed nearer. This makes it harder for the S22.
First of all thank you for your help and tipps.
I printed such a test paper in the best quality my cheap printer can do.
I made a 50MP picture approximately 10inch away of the paper. A parallel aligned as possible.
I see the same as on other near range pictures. The top area is the most blurry. If i stay in the same position and manual focus the top blurry area then it becomes sharp (that's the reason why i always thought it's a software problem)
Anyway thank you again

The area of of blur means it's not at the same focal plane as center of the lens.
Not that's impossible to focus that area...
Can Samsung solve this problem? Send back to Samsung?

If all copies have this same blur pattern, no.
If it's a bad copy, yes by replacing the cam module.
However...
Pan back a few inches, does it still happen?
Are you shooting at or closer than it's minimum range limit?
Look how blurry to the top and to the bottom.
- Tripod
- smartphone plan
- distance 21,5 cm
- zoom 1x
- much light ...

Use a proper blur target...
I know what I'm doing.
no matter what I take photo of every time same results.
proper enough?
some lines aren't clear, but the lines at the very end up are clear (?)
took more shots and every time the same problem ;(

I don't see the problem... no lense is perfect.
