Hi guys i have been messing with the video camera on the note 4 but when i press the video button the image is blurred for a 4k camera. I had this problem on the camera but resolved it when i took the ISO setting value to 100 which sharpened the image up considerably and it looked like a 2k 4k shot,but when you press the video mode button it overrides these setting and brings back the blur,does anyone know of a fix please it would be much appreciated i i go on my holidays soon and want to capture some nice shots without the dreaded blur.
Many Thanks
remove the invisible plastic from the lens. scratch the edge with your fingernails and it will be visible.
The plastic is already off
have you taken off one plastic or two ? There are two plastics covering the lens.
No all the plastic is off 1 have double checked

I can report blur on pictures. Definitely a problem. Videos however are OK for me.
Pictures are not sharp and boundaries of objects in pic are blurry.

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my wildfire's camera. When i take a photo, the photo is all blurry as on wildfire's screen as on computer. Picture looks like you would take it under water. And no effect is turned on. Can anyone help me please and tell me why is that and what can i do.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have the same problem with my Wildfire. Autofocus is working but only in small distances. Now the phone is in garantee service. I think that the problem is hardware, bad series.
L.H.
Yeah the wildfire camera is always like this blur.. not a good camera after all..

Camera is fine, barely use it
Sometimes the camera lens cover on HTC phones becomes cloudy. Try removing your battery cover and taking a picture with it off. If the pictures becomes clear you have the cause off the problem.
You can then either order a new back cover (HTC will say it's damage on your part and refuse too send one for free! Cheek) or do what I did and carefully pop the offending lens cover out with a match stick.
Some people have also had success using screen scratch remover on it if you don't like the idea of having your actual camera lens exposed.
the back cover does not cover the camera, it has a hole where the camera goes.
mine working fine. I don't expect more from low end phone+without carl zeiss. I use camera 360 to take picture. its better than the stock camera
What's camera 360?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
there seems to be some sort of coating on lens cover, if you look closely it appears to be an oily colour, i simply polished with a silver polishing cloth ( silvo infused) and about 20 seconds of gentle polishing removed coating so now my lens is crystal clear. hope this helps
My picture quality quite good.
Camera 360
Have you guys tried Camera 360 on Wildfire?
It's not on the market so I got an internet apk and it crashes all the time instead of opening. Is it my version that is wrong or is it the app?
[Edit]Answer to myself and the others, I was on build 0.9.74, now that I found the 0.9.76 it works like a charm \o/
as on others devices (S2),also on Note i noticed that autofocus is not perfect.
On macro it works well,but on normal photos and expecially ZOOMING....i can not get a good focus.
Try to zoom 4x ...impossible to get a correct focus..for me
a personal problem...or firmware problem....?
i have last firm ...upgraded on line 2 days ago.
Regards..
You should never use digital zoom on a phone camera the results are always terrible. Also I noticed my SGSII had a tough time auto focusing during videos. It was always freaking out trying to focus on the center object.
on HTC HD2 autofocus works well also zooming...
samsung optical software are very bad...
No solution?
Have you guys noticed a tiny piece of protective plastic over the camera lens? May or not be obvious, but have you removed that?

are you on 2.3.6? On my note (2.3.6), I just tried what you described (4x zoom and focus) and it had no trouble focusing.
This was indoors, with some light coming through the window blinds and it's almost sunset outside. So not really bright inside.
Granted, digital zoom is always (and I mean always) a bad call compared to taking an unzoomed photo and cropping/enlarging yourself, but at least the phone had no trouble focusing while zoomed in.
its not just you
Its not just you. I have the same proplem now, but did not when i recieved it. The problem is just more aparent when zooming in the phone but you also see it unzoomed on the full photo on the PC. Auto focus just does not do its job and everything is really blurry. I think the problem only came up after a firmware upgrade, but i may be mistaken.
I already tried downgrading which did not work (maybe an even older version is required?) but then noticed the CSC code wrongly set to KOR. Stetting it to the for me correct DBT did not help either.
Anyone has this without having upgraded? Anyone solved it?<
Update: Looking back at made photos... If this is a software issue, it was not present in firmare KK9. I got a photo mentioning that firmware that was ok. However I have this version installed now, and focusing is not ok.
However i still see it possible that some changed from more recent firmwares like a camara firmware change made it in that was not reversed when installing the older version.
I'd appreciate if we could work together in narrowing down this problem by comparing situations.
My phone's auto-focus was working fine until I did the KKA firmware update. Now it is crap. I've been hoping for another update to fix it, bit no dice so far!
I have the same problem. I was considering sending my Note back or trying to find a camera replacement until I figured out my first few pix (pre update) were very good. I just hope an update comes soon because I'm working with a Mac at home and have failed to root or flash one of the updated roms.

The camera in the Galaxy Note has about 8 million photosensors. That defines the resolution you're going to get. Digital zoom only enlarges the pixels, interpolating, it's the same if you shoot without zoom and then enlarge the picture on the computer.
For me the camera on the Galaxy Note is pretty capable, better than a compact camera I had 6 years ago.
I don't know who you're responding to with the post of your image sample, but I cannot get anything close to this at the moment. Only in macro mode. The problems is auto focus, it has nothing to do with zoom.
I decided to ask for a replacement or repair from amazon.de and was in luck.
Due to an extended cristmas timeframe in which you can just send it back or get a replacement I just sent mine back and they sent me a new one right away.
The new one is fine now. The camera photos are really good.
Plus, now the screen on this new one is nicely even compared to the slightly uneven display brightness in some areas of the screen (especially on grey color) on my old one.
Also got the latest firmware on it without a problem.
So I'm really happy now
Im sure you guys know in photos you can touch the screen to set your focus point.
Digital zoom will just give you crap results, avoid this and just zoom and crop in editing which will give you a much better image.
Hey,
I have come from a HTC One phone and the photo quality was fantastic... I no have the Note 3 and have noticed that the auto focus isnt that great and photo quality isnt that brilliant either, not sure if its my phone or the lighting...
I have added a fews that I have taken...
Any suggestions would b great on how to improve photo quality... Being Samsung I thought camera would be very high quality...

try turning on the touch to snap picture feature. this allows the phone to auto focus and then take the picture, removing the possibility of you bumping your phone pressing the snap button
Yeah those photos area really out of focus... Try resetting the focus mode from center to matrix and back.
The minute you zoom in on a photo taken with the Note 3 you will find that a huge amount of noise and grain exist but if you take a picture on a sunny and clear day outside without zooming in on picture it is taken then you will find picture to be acceptable.
Vide recordings on the Note 3 are great but picture quality and speaker volume/sound leave a bit to be desired. Otherwise I love my Note 3. Had it come with pair of speakers like those on the HTC ONE and with a better camera it would have been perfect.
Set 'tap to take pics' to off, then tap the screen anywhere to focus there. It'll show a green square if the focus is locked.
Also check that the protective foil is removed from the camera.
If you're having difficulty focusing close to the camera (+- 20cm), turn on Macro.

Huh, that's odd... Mine had
It but it's gone now... Did they delete it in the recent update?
I still hate the lack of a manual mode.. Made me leave the stock camera behind.

Hi,
This phone is great in all aspects but the camera. I have tried quite a few ROMs n camera apps. But the quality of the pics are bad.
Issues are:
1. Pics look washed out n soft
2. Pics look like taken at very low resolution. little zooming will reveal granularity even if the photo take at 13mp
3. Even slightly bright light source in the subject area puts a huge bright cloudy spot in the pic. Please refer to attached pic for example.
Can you suggest if this is common or hardware problem? Or any solution?

Looks very bad compared to the shots I get. Is the protective film still over the camera lense?

I have mixed feelings for this camera. Sometimes it takes amazing pictures, others it just takes Ok pictures, but totally washed out.
On the link above, some examples at many locations, such as a living room, outdoor party, pool party, at a bar and at a race track, night.
Every photo has been properly focused, taken with Xdabbeb mod and the lens were cleansed prior the shoot.
Anyone else having issues with the front facing camera not wanting to focus?
I attached 2 pics, using both front and rear cameras from the same distance.
And no there is no film over my lens, tapping to focus doesnt do anything and all beauty filters are off.
Have you tried from different distances?
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
This is with the front facing camera, sorry for the separate post, it kept failing to attach
Yes tried from different distances as well.
Heres another example but with slightly more distance (a little over a foot away)
And I have no idea why my images get flipped when posted on XDA. Oh well you get the point
