So, after applying a proper camera lense protector to the phone, I finally started to play with it. And in low light I'm seeing a lot of static on certain colored furniture or items on the floor, while taking a photo. The images in low light are also quite blurry. Is this due to the lense cover or normal?
I actually took the lense cover off and the static is much less now. Kinda sucks, there does not seem to be proper protection for the lenses without losing image quality. Would a liquid glass coating do?

It is UNDERNEATH the round glass that protects the lens, so its on the actual lens. It doesnt show up on pictures when im in the camera, and it focuses perfectly on whatever I click - ergo, it doesnt affect pictures but I wanna hear if anyone else has this "issue".
Images attached, open in Windows Picture Viewer (or whatever you use) at a reasonable size, cause the resolution is 2560x1920, which is too blurry in full-size.
On first picture its on left side, and 2nd picture its on the upper. Its a white line (the blue-greenish is just a light reflecting!)
When applying Lens-protection I did NOT notice this (I would've if it had been there) - could a little (big?) dust particle have slid its way in, some crazy how? Cause wouldn't it ruin the camera if the lens had such a big scratch?
I have it too on my lens
Sorry to beat this dead horse but I believe this issue is new..
When taking a photo outdoors, with a bright sky and dark subject, the bright area bleeds over into the dark and causes a hazy effect. I believe this might be due to a reflection off the chrome bezel or plastic lens cover. example: http://i.imgur.com/70oG7.jpg
Has anyone else noticed this? I've spent the past few weeks in washington/oregon with this phone and sooo many shots have been ruined this way.
Edit: I believe it is a problem with reflections off the chrome bezel and the plastic lens cover, maybe along with the lens having no hood cover as the body is so thin. Using my other hand to shade the lens while taking pictures seems to fix the issue.

could be. i've notice this as well. a few things work for me. actually wiping the lens to make sure there are no smudges that could cause reflection. also putting the cam in macro mode.
hi guys! im noticed the camera takes horrible photos resolution!!!! i was disney today and i cant take anyphotos because all of them was taken blurry and low resolution. but with the front camera the photos seems good resolution and more clearly.. is very annoying... anybody has the same problem???
i try with all setting and nothing change and the resolution settin is on max (8Megapixels)
Try these two things, clean the lens & either turn in or turn off the anri-shake. I was getting all kinds of lens flares and didn't even realize the lens was covered in my finger oils. Turning the anti shake was bad but after I turned it off then back in the pictures seem to have gotten better. BTW this phone has one if the worse possible placements of a flash and lens. I've had the flash reflect off my finger and it messes with the photo. GL hope your problem was like mine.

Mine was a bit blurry as well and then as I looked more closely at the rear lens I found that the guy who installed my Screen protector on the front also installed a protector on the rear as well and it covered the rear lens. Upon taking that screen protector off the rear lens the pictures were very clear and had no blur on them. I had wondered why at first the pictures were clear and then turned blurry after.
Given that the rear camera's sit behind a piece of glass, is it possible to protect that glass?...i'm not sure how it would affect the camera performance, but once you get a little scratch on that surface, you'll have a camera that struggles to pull focus on close objects.. thoughts? Because the area is kinda big (as opposed to the usual little camera part, it seems like it would be easier to end up with a scratch on it. It took me 5 years to end up with a tiny scratch on my lens on my old phone, but once I had it, I could hardly focus on a receipt.
You could use a Moment case. They're designed with a built-in lens mount which has the side effect of providing some protection around the lenses. It should reduce the likelihood of the lenses getting scratched.

I think Google should give a notice on foto flaring... Pixels has one of the worst flare effects...
What do you think about it?
Have you tried switching from wide angle to standard camera? (0.7x, 1, 2,4x zoom)

Standard camera Flares
Light is reflecting off the lens. Since they probably don't make any ND filters, if you have some old sunglasses that aren't too dark, try placing the lens over the camera sensor. The lenses on my d-slr have coatings to help reduce it, along with the lens hood, but if you are shooting directly at bright light, it can still happen. When it does I just photoshop it out.
You can also try settings in manual mode (I use camera FV-5) to set the f/stop at a different setting to change the exposure.

Thanks for the tips... I already knew some of them... Google should do something deleting them using software... S21 ultra and s22 ultra have reflections of the lens too but don't have so annoying Flares..
It is more the light reflecting off the glass sheet that covers the whole of lens assembly than just lens flare, a cheap skin on it reduces it significantly. When using the night modes however it is difficult to stop simply because you are using multiple exposures and therefore stacking any flare on top of itself and multiplying the effect.
FWIW you cannot change the aperture, they are fixed and there is no diaphragm to open and close, hence the reason why you get really, really high shutter speeds when the light it good.
You will be able to alter the shutter speed though I'd have thought, it is an electronic shutter so it can pick any number it sees fit to limit the light coming to the sensor.
