Everyone knows the weakness behind our Back Camera.. but does everyone know how POWERFUL our front facing camera is? I bet you didn't know you can crank the ISO to 12446 on the front facing camera
You can now take selfies in almost pitch black rooms (and come out grainy, but visible).
Inside the "Selfie" mode, click on EV +2 and go into a dark room.
Your image will automatically being super grainy but you'll be able to see yourself like no other!

Yes...it's weird it only works on front camera and not on regular one...but yeah! Takes photos on pitch black room
Does anyone know if the rear facing camera has an IR filter on it? That may explain this, because if the rear facing camera has a filter but the selfie one does not, the selfie camera will let in more "light", and use ambient IR to illuminate your face slightly more. That's just my best guess.

The reason you can do this with the front is because the camera used is exactly the 4UP sensor from the M8 which has larger pixels for better low light performance
You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the OnePlus 3T performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
If light is very good, acceptable selfies. Indoors, even with good light, usually very blurry shots
Indoors, nothing but TV for light and taken straight from Allo
At low light in front of my monitor:
beautify mode of the cam/app is the best, makes my ugly face so sweet !
for real, its pretty decent (the front cam).
With 16mp front camera the photos look crisp and sharp. Nothing bad to say about it.
Seems fine with or without beauty mode it's almost same for me
absolutely amazing with the 16m front camera

I recently went on a trip with a selfie stick...front facing camera turned out to be pretty bad...they all turned out kind of like this one:

Some look better than others, but everything looks soft and out of focus...is this normal?

The front facing camera has fixed focus, made so that the subject is in focus when the phone is at arms length. this photo looks like it was taken with a selfie stick so you were not in focus.

Well that explains it...are you aware of any work around for this? I imagine the limitation is the software.

I believe that it it a hardware limitation, so I'm not sure how a software upgrade or any workaround might help significantly. Maybe you might want to try the back camera instead or use the front camera at arms length, or be somehow lucky to find a clip-on lens that can either increase the camera's field while somehow still keeping the correct focus distance or a clip-on lens that will correct the focus when the device is on the selfie stick.
Good!
The front camera is really good. Clean and bright selfies. Love it.
Amazing, outstanding camera quality...
Such a awesome phone. It have best camera that is very useful for taking high resolution selfies.
low light sux
Well lit ok
Camera driver
How to develop camera driver? What are the things one should know for device driver development?
I noticed front camera photos are blur when I take selfie at the extend of hand! If I take close selfie, it's not. But if subjects are far(as long as hand length), the photo is totally blur.
any solution for this? I used open camera and camera FV but results are same.
How to make Samsung hear our voice to fix this?
By the way, I have Huawei nova which doesn't have front camera auto focus but photos aren't blur at all.
Hello, I have the same problem. When focusing before taking the photo, is focused. But when you take it, it goes out of focus. Focusing on objects in front of the face.
I'm selling my A5 as its front camera is totally useless. All photos I take, unless I'm close to camera, are blur! I'm now using my Huawei Nova which has similar specs. It even has no focus in front camera but photos are clear crystal.
Guys, I tried contacting Samsung on their .eu website and got a very funny reply:

Try to use the screen flash when taking a selfie. I've tried it on my a5 2017

I don't have this problem, I used the front cam to take the below image from a distance in low light and it is perfectly ok, I think you need to send your phone to Samsung to fix.

Has Samsung solved this problem yet?
Yes i have this problem
It take to crazy !!
Any fix ! Hobe to fix
The camera is not bad. Well. If you want focus, use the rear camera. In the good lighting conditions the front 16mpX is awesome for selfies.

I admire Samasung's OLED and AOD (Always On Display) features among other good features like using reversible USB, bringing Nougat to A* 2017 series.
@alirezaircn
I have a few questions:
Have you ever heard about front camera focus problem on other A* 2017 phones like A7 2017 or A3 2017?
As a customer who experienced super clear very beautiful vivid colors on A5 2017, how much worse is Huawei Nova LCD screen rather than A5 2017?
Has Huawei provided Nougat update for Nova?
Thanks in advance
I noticed that too. So much for being a 16mp shooter. Everything I tried to shoot is always getting blurred. Feels like im using a vga camera with a little bit of light. Lmao

[/COLOR]Damn I thought it was my problem that every time the photo is blurry so it was the phone issue I recently buied that phone & it was really awesome until I found this issue should we approach service centre for that issue or wait for the updates???
The problem in this phone is that the front camera's depth-of-field is very low. If you dont know, most selfies have friends behind us. And your camera makes them all blur. Poor customers think it is their fault. They don't know Samsung engineers have done a bad job. So sad that This issue cannot be even fixed. The front camera of even chinese phones is awesome. No one is blurred even if they stand 5 ft away from my face. I had previously samsung S4 mini, j5 2015, music duos 6012, mega 5.8 and wanted to be a loyal customer to samsung. Now I don't trust and dont wanna recommend to my friends or others in future. Im so sad because of this retarded front camera
even my j7 pro 2017 has bad front camera.

my j7 pro 2017 always get out of focus image when we try to take group selfies. probably due to depth of the field issue
Hello guys,
Ive been playing with my mi6 for a while and noticed a strange thing. Photos captured at 2x look actually more like a digital zoom than an optical, even though the resolution is the same as 1x. When you actually cover the left camera lens, the picture is still normal. No matter if you choose 1x or 2x.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
You can explicitly set the lens on manual mode.

Where can you change that? Still on MIUI8.
it does that in low light shots, cause the tele lens is so bad at low light that it prefers to shot in main camera and zoom it in.
sources : miui forum? red it when i bought it

That's right, the telephoto sensor has 1.00µm pixel size at f/2.6 aperture, while the main sensor has 1.25µm pixel size at f/1.8 aperture.
I've been taking a lot of photos as of late, both with the front and rear cameras. I've noticed for a while that the selfie camera doesn't really produce clear and crisp images the way my old 2XL did. I've come across a thread where some folks have encountered the same issue, and wondering if anyone else here is experiencing this?
I've included a link that best shows exactly what I'm talking about, although the person isn't me in the thread.
If the camera is this bad I hope it can be fixed.

I have the same issue and it is frustrating, I also tried with 3rd party apps but still, the selfie images are kinda blurry. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue?
I've noticed the same compared to my 4xl. The selfies under lower than normal light come out a bit blurry or not as good as I remember them on my previous phone.
The front camera is a fixed focus lens. Physically it has a sharp spot and only that spot is sharp, the rest of it is all processing.
No real way around physics and lack of autofocus.

This. Some older models had front facing camera autofocus, P6 does not (unfortunately)

Do other phone manufacturers have this design, or is it only google?
