[Q] Camera Grainy

Hey all,
I've had my N4 for a week now and a couple of days ago I gave the camera a go. I have to say that I'm not impressed at all. Most all pics came out grainy. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking of returning it. Now I don't use the camera a whole lot, but sometimes when a picture presents its self and I don't have my DSLR the cell camera is what I have. I would like the pics to look descent. I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S and with a 5MP camera and no LED flash it takes better pics than the N4. Is it the stock JB software for the camera and using another camera app would fix it?
Thanks,
Chevy

there will be grain in low-light but it's not too bad to my eyes.
if it bothers you, you could use flash; try another camera app, like camera zoom fx, that lets you control iso; or clean up the grain in post with noise-ninja or similar.
i never expect too much from phone cameras but they can produce decent results if you work within their limitations.
EDIT: i downloaded camera zoom fx yesterday and would highly recommend it over the stock camera app.

[Q] i9505 camera focus ability

I had my i9505 with me for 3 weeks, it is very well in my experience with fast and longer battery life compare with MY GNex
However, I tried to take photo outdoor at night or in restaurant sometimes, the camera focus ability seems not as good as my GNex.
It always out focus or even cannot focus ( the focus square in RED ), I tried to tap on different point on the screen to get it focus but it still not focus even the point I tapped has big contrast of color.
Does any one have the same problem or my camera is a fault unit?

I too upgraded from the Galaxy Nexus and do not experience any of these issues. My camera focuses quickly and overall works very well compared to the galaxy nexus.

i too was very disappointed about the camera first. blurry, laggy etc. wasn't at all what the community and reviews told it to be. then the phone started rebooting randomly and i went back to the retailer and got a new one. random reboots is gone and this camera is everything i hoped for. like two different cameras.. would try to go to a retailer and compare pictures with another phone.

The have been multiple reports of units shipping with badly scratched lens glass. FYI...

uSING iNTERNATIONALL VERSION AND NO ISSUES WITH THE CAMERA. OS 4.4.2 UPDATED 3 WEEKS AGO

Maybe you should use this mod http://www.xda-developers.com/android/mod-for-the-lg-g2-brings-120-fps-and-4k-ultra-hd-video-recording/ if it's not from the hardware

K Zoom Xenon problem

Hello.
It seems that after 2 months of using Samsung Galaxy K Zoom xenon flash is gone. Few days ago I was making daylight photos and there was a strange sound from the phone, like short circuit. I made few photos more, xenon light was working, but today there is no more xenon. The phone is new, and I never dropped the phone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

If its nearly new send it back?,you have tried the obvious factory reset etc?

No pictures during video?

Hi Everyone,
I have a 64 gig aluminum Nexus 6p. I'm coming from a note 5 after reading all the reviews about this phone and the improvements in the camera. I was recording video of my daughter today and I've become accustomed to taking pictures while recording video. I dont see that option. It wasn't brought up in any of the reviews that I sawsaw. I thought that it was a basic thing. Is the a Hardware or Software limitation? Can you recommend any apps that I can buy that will allow this if there are any out there?

I'm also wondering about this because it's such a simple, but important feature that my pervious phones had. Anyone?

You will find that it's a software thing built into the samsung camera app.

I just checked and you're right it doesn't allow picture while taking a video. I find this strange since I just checked it with my Nexus 4, 5, 7 and they all allow pictures with video (i knew they did from a long time ago). Even gal nexus does. Strange....

Subbed. Wanna know

Wished it had this feature......nexus 5 had it why can't this one have it. 2 steps forward 1 step back. Could have used it this weekend during a wedding. Also why cant stock google camera app have recording AND picture buttons on 1 screen rather than switching between the 2.

Agreed this is a basic feature. I am amazed it is not there. I also agree that the video and camera were not separate screens but just one screen in the camera app with 2 buttons.

Any third party camera add this?
