Note 3 camera produces dark, blurry pictures. Is this normal? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before my N3 I was on an iPhone 5. The photos on the iPhone 5 were bright and sharp and vivid. The Note 3's photos however were dark and blurry, even when taken in bright indoors conditions. Is this normal?

Please clean your camera lens or check whether there is a protective plastic screen on your camera lens which needs to be removed !! :good:

the 2nd pic was taken with absolutely no handshake, while the first one has "normal" movement. when taking pics with my iPhone, I did not have to take special care to ensure no handshake.

galaxy vs nexus camera

does anyone else find that the nexus takes much better still pictures than the galaxy.
Better contrast, saturation, less noise, better focus, especially in low light conditions.
Here are 2 examples, both at the same settings, except the galaxy i activated anti-shake, which seems to reduce the graininess a little.
Sure the galaxy pic looks fine when shrunk down by 50% but compared at full size, imo it looks like crap compared to the nexus

Nexus
Picture quality is indeed very poor on the SGS, maybe even worse than the HTC Hero I had before...pics look very blurry, almost useless really...hope future roms can improve this...(little hope).
After using the camera i feel that the auto focus system used aint that great and is the real failing point of the camera. Overall, pictures are soft and not well focused, and i just can never seem to focus on close subjects. E.g. when i try to take a picture of an insect, it focuses till its clear but then backs out and gives me the red box.
I think my Captivate cam is great.

To large for the forum.
those captivate pics are better than my galaxy.
i tried a second galaxy and the image quality was quite improved over the first one ....wether it is the firmware or the hardware i have no idea, but i have a feeling they are using different sensors at random.
with an HD video camera, you would think it would also take decent still images
....they either come out very grainy or out of focus
also my SGS camera is very poor, i hope that it can be improved by future software. Previously i had an Nokia E90 3M camera and it was way better.

Camera's colour reproduction is not correct

I noticed that during daylight the colours of pics are not correct.
The colours are washed out and too cold.
They are not vivid.
Has anyone else experiencing this?
Mine seems to be fine:

Ok here is what I have noticed with the S4 camera, direct sunlight or strong light, perfect pictures (best on any smartphone imo)
Cloudy, over cast or artificial light under 5000lux and the camera performs badly with washed out de-saturated images.
You may also want to check the camera lens for a little bit of plastic sammy put on to protect the camera surround, when i carefully removed that bit of plastic i noticed a reduction in fringe distortion that was making the edges of images distorted and blurry.

You may already have but check the lens for finger smudges, also do you have a filter enabled check by clicking. ">" symbol on left side of camera screen as there is a washed out filter

[Q] does HDR mode work?

I been taking a few pictures with HDR mode and without and i still cant see any difference. Today it was a clear sunny day and i took a picture of the sky, and both looked the same with and without HDR. The 3rd pic looked more noticeable but i was using an app.
1st pic without HDR
2nd pic with HDR
3rd pic was HDR with the app PRO HDR Camera

You're taking to much picture of the sky where there is to much light to notice any difference. HDR works better when you are taking pictures where there is more shade or in darker areas.

Well HDR is not about this really, and on pictures like these you almost can't see any difference.
S4 imo has best HDR mode from all the smartphones i had before and i had a lot of smartphones.

Xperia Z5 Camera - as Advertise

Hi Z5 Users! Just curious how we can get a good shot with moving objects?.... or anyone can show how to do it in a proper way?.... As I'm wondering how Sony did the following shots in their website? As I myself is always ending up with either focus center and blurry shots outside the focal point of the picture, or mostly with blur edges or noisy pic, do we have to always use a tripod to get a good moving shot? (especially for me with shaky hands lol).

I don't believe they shoot those pics with a phone, didn't believe it as soon as the pics came online.

Use sports mode. In Scenes
Or Manual with low ISO and lowered Exposition im good light.
In a more difficult light with a slightly higher ISO which pushes faster shutter speeds. And lowered Exposition.

Save the Night | OPPO Find X5 | OPPO Ambassador

Sharing a few low-light sample shots from the OPPO Find X5!
Quite impressed with the shots from the Primary lens! Captures great shots with plenty of light and very low noise levels. With the inclusion of OIS, the camera can take better low-light shots and less shaky images.
Now the inclusion of OIS also helps a lot while shooting long exposures with Pro Mode. OIS eliminates minor shakes and helps you shoot 1-2 second long exposure images without even needing a tripod.
Here's a picture I shot handheld with Pro mode.

shot handheld on Pro mode with 1 sec shutter speed​
What surprised me the most is the ultrawide angle. The ultrawide angle on the X5 is probably the best one out of all the phones available. The pictures are very bright and detailed. Colours are quite natural and the highlights and shadows are on point.
picture shot with ultrawide angle camera​I also did notice that the low light shots take less time to capture. Generally on other phones you do have to hold still for about 2-3 sec for it to capture.
I'm very impressed with the low-light capabilities of the Find X5. A combination of great lens hardware including the Marisilicon X chip and superior software processing helps the Find X5 shine under low light conditions.
