pic quality is very bad, software is fine

I guess your camera cover is damaged..try taking pics with the back cover removed and see if tou find any difference...also see in camera settings about the pic resolution size..it should be 5MP..hope dis solves your prob...

Yes, your camera cover is damaged. It may have scratches on it. I also had this problem. The Desire camera cover shouldn't have been made the way it is. Because when you place it on any surface, it can get scratches on it and most of the times it does. What I did, and what you can do, is that you can have your camera cover "buffed" so the scratches on it would go away and you will have good quality pictures.

Buffed means what exactly?BTW my camera cover was already damaged beyond repair,so what i did was removed the circular camera lens cover and replaced ot with a glass of same size..thnx to da watchmaker who agreed to make the glass of same size for a mere $1..i then stuck dis glass on my desire's cover with instant adhesive...camera images are now as crisp and clear as before...now i hav learnt from past experience and bought a pouch from my desire...

Fisheye focusing problems

Hi there!
yesterday i bought this wide angle/macro and fisheye camera lenses for my Galaxy N7000. The problem is that i can't focus anything with them
I tried with my galaxy s2 and it works perfectly
I'll be really glad if you guys can help me with some info
Cheers:good:

:c

I have used the fisheye, wide angle and macro lens, the one with wide angle and macro screwing into one lens.
They focus pefrectly well on the note for me.

The lens:

I also got a fisheye lens for a few bucks from ebay and at first couldn't focus. I figured out that the problem comes from the magnetic attachment that distorts the focusing mechanism. It helped for me to use two of those metal rings between the phone and the lens to make the magnetic force on the phone smaller. Do you understand what I mean? otherwise i can maybe take a pic...

OMG Thank you! I had the same problem. This helped a whole lot! Thank you very much!

After I saw this post I went to ebay and took a look, not expensive at all.
Just search on ebay for: Fisheye galaxy note.

i have the same problem
i have the same problem with my S2, and it seems that using two rings helps, but since they're both the same polarity, i can't align it.
weird thing this is only happening to few of us.
i'm not sure if it's the magnet, because i think the autofocus works with light, don't know what the magnet can do about that.
:silly:

Yep. I had the same problem on my Epic II 4G Touch. An extra ring solved my problem, too. Been using these cheap fisheye lenses for a long time now. They are addictive! Jelly lenses are very useful, too. Their wide-angle/fisheye lens makes the ring around the photo a bright green. Very cool.

Cheapskate's DIY Macro Lens

Inspired by this thread.
Since it's raining outside today Imma stick indoor and carry out this small project that I've had in-mind for quite sometime

-A cheap PnS camera, in this case I used a Kodak Star MD300 but I guess any camera is fine.
-A screwdriver.
-A scissor.
-3M foam tape.
-My N5 with Nilkin case on.
Disassemble the camera and take this little plastic gem out:
Put two stripes of 3M tape on the case, close to the lens:
And then just put the lens on top and push it gently to secure it:
Make sure the lens are aligned by get a blank image and look at it through the N5 camera, of course there will be darkened corners (vignetting) but make sure they are even:
And that's it, your are good to go.
Here are two samples:

Congrats for your project, the result is impressive!

i tried to do it with this camera http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news/articles/story_5706.html but it didnt work.
I dont know if its not the right lens but all i could see from N5 was a blur picture.
Maybe it dont need to be a digital camera?Can you help?

What we did here is actually putting a close up lens on the N5 so you have to put the phone very close to the subject to get a sharp picture.

I just took the camera i linked you and made it into pieces and i took the lens.then i put it in front of the camera,but the results wasnt the expected.

is my s6 defective?

I received mine early, next day delivery.
The phone works great, except for the camera. It has issues auto-focusing. If I double tap the home the camera remains unfocused for a lengthy period of time. Sometimes it will remain unfocused. Doesn't matter whether it's attempting to focus near or far, set to auto or selective focus mode, or opening from lock screen or camera app.

Did you remove the plastic?

I LOL'd then realized I haven't taken mine off either, yet.

Wow, I feel like an idiot.
I didn't realize there was a small bit of plastic attached to it.
It would explain why the focus worked when I "cleaned" the lens.
Also realized there are 2 pieces of plastic, on both the flash and the lens.

The plastic on the camrea doesnt cover the lense, so what the point of removing?

I made a post on this in the main S6/Edge section. I'll make it in here too. Be careful not scratching the lens or flash. The flash one is very hard to get off. Stupid Samsung doesn't put tabs on them so it would be easier to pull off.
You don't have to pull them off but I like to since maybe it's causing a glare.

I have a faint white line next to the tower. Not sure if it's because of the protectors.

So I removed both covers, and it's helped some, but the auto-focus is still a little slow.
Here's the screwed up part, if I pick up the phone while facing screen side up and then double tap the home, the auto-focus is sluggish (takes 2-5 seconds to focus)
If I leave the phone screen side down and then flip it up, double tap home for the quick cam, the auto-focus is quicker (camera is already focused by the time the screen activates).
If I flip the camera screen side down while it's having trouble focusing, the focus may catch and actually work.
I don't think this is normal.

Question Post your pics let's see the camera in action

No editing

Is this on the latest update

Really liking the macro, even though most people say it's lacking compared to the S21 Ultra.

Like this one a lot. A lot of odd colors in the image and it balanced it well (the green and magenta in the backdrop).

I'm quite impressed by a quickly taken nightshot (on a fast moving train, approx 80km/h). OxygenOS 11.2.2.2.

Ultra wide

I just got my phone yesterday and i'm now testing how well it performs. First impressions is that yes it can perform very well even in dim lit situations. As i always shoot RAW this one is shot as such using the Pro mode and then processed in Capture One Pro.

Pics are really looking great! Can't wait to get the device...

One more shot, this one from inside a local church. Shot in RAW and edited with Capture One Pro. There were so little noise i didn't even bother to remove it, just a bit of sharpening and keystoning to straighten the lines and then the usual adjustments with exposure, curves and shadows & highlights adjustments.
/ Magnus

Would like to see some pictures of faces (with stock camera app). With my op7t, I was VERY disappointed with the pictures of my kids (with the OOS camera), very blurry and smudgy. Switched to GCAM and totally fine.

What setting you used? The hand artifact looks weird. I understand it is because of the movement (or a hand of a ghost of dead movie producer?), but how the hell it created this weird edge/highlight is beyond me.
