On the stabilization option. Not good enough? On HDR mode

No not as good as it was on the s4

Too bad then! why didn't Samsung keep Night Mode? I heard the same thing about stabilization being the "new night mode" but I hardly use it. It seems to be for still landscape at night. I also heard that Night Mode on S4 was good.

Night mode on samsung s4 waa excellent

I too found my I9505 having the same issue and it is also slower in capturing compare to my gf's note2 and friend's S3..
I am deeply disappointed...

Well, my task this weekend was to go to some dealer's store and test the S4's camera on the display units.. (I9500 as there's no I9505)...
I noticed the difference in between these 2
Faster focus and capture on the I9500
Less blurry shot on the I9500..
My I9505 really outperformed by the I9500 and I am kinda a disappointed I9505 user now after all I read good reviews.
I am sure something must have gone wrong with the I9505
P.S: The plastic is for sure being removed and outdoor daylight my I9505 has crystal clear picture but not when indoor even when you have good lighting..
Rear facing camera not working
My sister just got a i9505 from the UK.
The rear-facing camera doesn't work, meaning that it's just showing black, but you can still see the on-screen menu buttons.
The front-facing camera works fine.
I tried to ODIN back to stock, but it failed since the device came with a locked bootloader.
I restored it to the latest stock firmware using Samsung KIES, but that didn't make a difference. Any suggestions before I have her send it back for a refund?

Camera: Anti Shake on or off?

What settings do you have on your phone? Do you have anti shake on or off and what metering do you use?

I use anti shake function cos the picutures is more sharpness...center metering...and i still testing my S4 camera. Im not satisfied with the sharpness of the pictures, the S3 have better camera i think (for now)
Another question to ask is are you using an i9500 or i9505? I believe they use different sensor?
I have i9505 and camera in normal lighting is awesome. A little grainy in low light but not as bad as the camera in my HTC legend.
Anti-shake on here, not sure if there is any significant advantage.

Take macro shots in s4

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.?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 4
There's no dedicated "Macro" feature, but I've still taken some good shots with the S4. 13MP really helps.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

Burst Shot on my note 3 Not working

My burst shot on my note 3 isn't working. I've turned it on in the camera settings and nothing. I've rooted it and installed xsposed and some modules, I've froze some apps but nothing with the camera. I've paid retail for this phone..
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
There's a thread on this. Some (including myself) get it to work by turning smart stabilization off. Some say burst mode works with smart stabilization on, but for me it's not consistent. With smart stabilization off it works everytime.

where is this thread?
I just now got it to work but I could only get it to work taking a pic of my laptop but can't anywhere else. I would like to know where this thread is also, I was beginning to think I got a device that was messed up

OK please delete

It only works when there is enough light. When not enough light and an icon of a hand with a star and moon displayed (smart stabilization), burst doesn't work.

I am sitting in a dimly lit room when I point my note at my laptop screen burst mode works image stab on.
When I turn away from laptop screen burst mode doesn't work I think it is the lighting.

For me turning off the night stabilisation mode & setting auto flash made it better in low light places. Can't say I've had any issues with daylight photos.

maybe different setting
and maybe problem with ur variant and will solve by an update
and also it can be hardware problem in last step IF u become sure no software problem
so
1. play with settings
2. search for other users that exactly in same firmware with u and compare photo ...
3. if u find any different (bad quality in urs) try to flash another stock rom (from another regions)
4. if nothing change take it for service to check lens
:good:

The camera has Jeckel and Hyde characteristics.Outdoor shots are superb for a smartphone but when you venture indoor or at night,it takes pretty awful photos.Smart Stabalisation brightens things up and limits noise but you lose all detail.If you crop in, faces and objects look like cartoon drawings.There is only so much you can do with a small sensor so I think the N3 needs a dedicated night mode and better software.don't hold your breath though.Samsung will fix this issue up but only when the N4 arrives with their isocell technology.
If you want decent photos at night you need to use the flash but the flash doesn't work well past 10 ft.
