Im really disappointed on my gs4 camera app samsung has removed the macro feature, really I miss that stuff. In my old gs3 I cn take pretty good macro shots ,is any possibility to fix this prob guys.?

There's no dedicated "Macro" feature, but I've still taken some good shots with the S4. 13MP really helps.

the S4 active the macro function automatically when you try to focus a near subject
S3 has the ability to focus within 2cm but s4 camera blurs In that dis only comes study in 4cm.

Anyone else noticed the camera shutter speed and focus issues since the JB update?
I use to be able to take fast, focused snaps. It takes seriously longer to get a good crisp shot.
Any pointers?

I haven't noticed that issue. Are you on stock or custom ROM?
I'm on Omega JB ROM.
I'm stock all the way. Have had my JB for about a week, played with all the camera settings & it still sucks!

I can see your point about the focus issue but the shutter speed seems similar to me.
Me To, i'm on ARHD 13 and the foucs got quite slow.
on ICS it was perfect

I think the S3 camera is Ok, but just so... OK... nothing special.
I think my neo takes better pictures by far...

Really? I think the S3 takes some of the best pictures out of most android devices.
I'm getting very blurry pictures even with anti shake enabled and also poor focusing

I have tested with s2 S3 and neo on big TV and the neo pictures where sharper. The only thing that was good was filming with full HD. But get the same results from s2.

I'm using completely stock.
Noticed setting storage type back to phone from SD fixed the lag. Think it needs a defrag somehow.

Although it doesnt help you. I actually found the camera to be much better in JB. Most of my shots previous would either not focus or blur and the only way I could get a decent shot was to use the Best Shot feature. Now it snaps well each time.
I hope we get the PhotoSphere in the 4.1.2 update that looks ace!
Camera is not worse. Its more grainy for videos thats what i noticed. But i prefer it that way. More noise and looks like blu-ray video. I can use deblock later if i wanna edit the file

Check out pro capture in the play store, its a much better alternative. Which is a shame because its obviously not the hardware thats letting this phone down.

Have you made sure your lense is clean?
For the Price Samsung could do better. You have Xperia s with 12 MP and good lens. For a top device. ..

I didn't notice that , i am update to JB from 2 days to UAE version and it's doing great and nothing happened in the camera speed or focus .

Is there any way to take a photo using the volume keys on the phone?
There seems to be no easy way to take self portraits using the stock camera app.
I don't want that to sound weird but I just want to take pictures of me and the kids and I've suddenly realised how difficult it is to do it with the stock app!
Even a 5 second delayed shutter would be fine..

You do realize there is a front facing camera, don't you?
Try out an app called Camera JB+ Looks just like stock and has what you're asking for.

Lol, yeah I walked right into that one!
I tried the front camera but the quality was not great!
Camera JB+ looks nice but doesn't have HDR or PhotoSphere modes!
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Install the cyanogenmod cam. There you have delayed shutter, voice shutter, Hdr and you can take photos by pressing the power button. But it don't have photosphere. There are zips available on xda where you have both cams.

My only question is how many megapixels were those shots for the note 3. And it seems to gather more of a area of the photo!

From memory I took those all in maximum resolution on widescreen aspect ratio.
Also I've since upload a couple more comparison sets.

from the note 3(N9005) pics exif its clear it is using a new cam firmware........D13QSGH030A which differs from both I9500 and I9505 and my gut feeling is that in N9005 snapdragon version samsung might have used samsung sensor(bcos smasung camera modules have SGH codes) which might be capable of recording 4k videos while N9000 exynos might use the same IMX135 exmor RS sensor as used in I9500 without 4k recording........

I think 4k recording is purely based on the CPU, etc and not on the camera sensor. 13MP is 4808x2704 and 4k is just 3840×2160(8.3 MP) and only CPU should be able to make it shoot thirty 8.3 MP shots per second(i.e, 4k video at 30 fps). Pls correct me if I'm wrong!
Hi all... are there any plans to improve the camera at all on the note iii? I heard somewhere that they were going to improve macro focus to some degree. I just find that I can't take pics of anything moving unless we are outside in brilliant sunlight. Even sports mode isn't a big help. Tripod helps.. but it's still blurry to some degree.
When I do get a shot just right it's amazing. Clarity is something else with this camera when you mail or just right.

I'm not sure. I feel you about them low light/fast moving pictures. But like you said, with the right amount of light, the Note 3 takes gorgeous pictures!

Have you tried burst shot? Turn it on it settings and just hold the shutter button down.

I've had this phone a couple of days and taking outside or inside photos near a window is a nightmare! Photos have a bad blur around the window or outside! Maybe it's just me but I'm really not impressed with it! Photos look a bit misty! Is it me or is it this camera?

maybe you've left the stock transparent sticker on your lens...
btw even dslr cameras struggle in taking clear pictures without good polarizing filter glass on the lens... so...
being a dslr camera owner - g2 has one of the best cameras i've seen on the mobile device... i was stunned with the image quality, sharpness and color...
if you're rooted and have custom recovery - try xdabbeb's camera mod
Thinking it could be the lens cover!!! If so might just sell it lol

Hi Again
I caved in an bought another g2 to see if my blurred pictures were a hardware fault or just due to a crappy g2 camera, looks like my new g2 takes pictures of simular quality to my s4
Sorry to say but sounds like your g2 camera module needs replacing or the phone itself.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
This was my old g2 with the same pic. I think the glass scratches on the lens had something to do with it.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
Although, i still think the s4 is crisper and cleaner (but a bit dimmer) at indoor shots with incandescent lighting.
