Camera quirkiness - AT&T Note 7 Questions & Answers

So I just noticed that when I have flash set to auto, the screen blinks twice when I take a picture. Not sure if the picture is taken on the first or second blink but does anyone else see this?
Setting the flash to off or on removes the second blink.
Also when recording video, there's always a stutter at the beginning of the recorded video. It's like it skipped recording for a fraction of a second.
Have anyone seen this? I'm trying to figure out if it's a defective unit.
I have the updated software (with green battery indicator)
Thanks

I just tried the video, 3 times recording 15-30 seconds and no stutters experienced. Took a couple photos in a dark room and no blinks on the screen. I have the "safe" AT&T Note 7.

Green screen in stock camera FIXED

I've been having this problem when every few photos, just a plain green picture is taken. And sometimes there are distorted colors. I decided to play around with the settings to check if it changes anything.
I found out that the problem is keeping the focus mode in Continuous Auto focus. Keeping it in this mode apparently has problems which are the green photos, distorted colors, and around 2 seconds of lag between the shutter and the photo being taken.
Keeping it on Auto took off 2 of the problems which were the green photos and distorted colors. But it was still kind of laggy, I think it's supposed to be this way though to have time for it to focus
Putting it on Infinity fixed all of it, I took over 20 photos without any problem or lag.
I don't know why that problem occurred, but it's probably just the camera firmware and not a hardware problem.
Hope I got to help

[Q] Camera blinking problem with official 2.3.5

I have a problem with the camera of my phone. The screen starts blinking continuously after a few seconds I reach the camera app. I hear a very low noise sounds like a small explosion during each blink. The blink is like taking continuous shots but does not capture any photos.
I will try to upload a video when I get home to define the issue better.
I wonder if anyone had lived or heard about such a problem.
I use official 2.3.5 rom.

Does that with my led. Flashing a different rom could fix that.

Screen showing all one colour

Hey guys, I was watching a couple of videos on youtube today and one of them, my screen went blue like it was tinted over top of the video. And another one was green. If I close out the videos and load them again, they're ok. I haven't seen it happen with any other apps yet so I'm unsure if it's youtube or the phone itself. Any one else encounter this?
I noticed it also happened when I was using my camera a couple of times. Part of the picture's colour is off. Here is an example.

S5 Video light/LED?

I have finally moved on from my GS3 to a GS5 and as a few others I am dissapointed in the camera app - specifically the video portion. I have read around about the low light issues but my biggest issue is shooting video in lower light. My old GS3 which my wife now uses turns the LED on if flash is enabled on the camera whilst shooting a video but I cannot figure this out for the GS5 - anyone care to help?
thankyou
Turn the flash on first then start to record. It will come on automatically.

flash issues
So I found out the real issue is that the flash module is broken! I have tried the following:
- reset filters
- force close and app data in camera app
- full factory reset
- Super LED app and stock torch app
None of these have worked, cant find a teardown for the phone so I think I am out of options. The HR sensor works but the flash I am guessing is the big white square next to it.....any other ideas? there is a loud rattle coming from the area, but this seemed normal according to a few other posts.....

Google Camera app - slow shutter

I installed several versions of the Google camera app (4.1 & 4.2) on my s8 which all partially work.
If I press the button to take a picture. The flash goes off followed by a shutter sound almost immediately. But the actual picture is taken seconds later, so I have to keep the phone still and focussed. This works by day but by night, the flash is long gone by the time the picture is actually taken, leaving a dark picture.
Anyone else have this issue?
