Bad camera quality

hi there everyone. I got my kaiser a couple of days ago of a friend's friend and its a great phone. i am having a problem though with the camera as i understand its 3 megapixil, but my quality is realy really bad. It is very blurry to the point where the picture is just ugly.
my camera quality is really bad i have one of the newsest camera software installed. i dont mean the lag or anything i just mean the camera quality is so blurry and unclear i have sharpness on high and styll :S
when i press the camera button to take a picture and it auto focuses, before the green thing comes for juss half a second everything is clear buh then becomes super blurry when the green part comes and the pictures turns out blurry (so much for the moment of clarity ). any suggestions or is it jus broken

It would be nice if you would post a pic of the blurrieness so that we can compare with our blurrieness. Oh and the camera is known for being ghetto.

Take the back off and take a picture, most probably it is the plastic cover over the lens, to which can be removed

Like the guy above me said...take the cover off when you take a picture...I finally just got tired of always having to take the cover off, so I just got an exacto knife and removed the plastic piece on the back cover that "protects" the camera...and now my pictures are true 3MP quality =)

A known poor design issue
There have been many threads about this here already so a search will reveal more. What you're experiencing is probably known as Chromatic Aberration which as you can read is associated with the design of the lense and its cover. As mentioned removing the cover helps (as does making sure it's kept clean - not an easy task considering it's right where your fingers go).

hole
i did a hole for clear snapping pics...lol..

OMG! You're right. After reading this thread, I took two pictures, one with the cover on, and one with the cover off. The difference is remarkable. I didn't know my kaiser was capable of pictures like this
Here is the proof.

And just think, this is a really old subject that has been covered before. You could have been taking pictures like this earlier if you had found those threads.

thnx everyone it actaully is working amazing now . i had some plastic clear sticker on top of it and when i took it off the camera started taking crystal clear pictures. its BOOOOOM! now

Just a random shot.
The camera produces very usable images and i'm an amateur photographer with a Canon 5D.

yes, just a ratio problem with 720p video, but picture are good (for a smartphone)

Thanks for sharing pics buddy. Looks really good. What about pics in low light conditions.
I think if you play captured video in quick time thr is no issue with it and to me it seems software issue which can be easily fixed in next update (hopefully LG do that).

Low light quality is just like every other small sensor phone camera, mostly crap. With an imaging sensor so small, you will not get close to real camera quality anytime soon.
I think the camera in the Black is just the average smartphone quality. There might be slightly better ones and slightly worse, but it's still just a smartphone.

Camera mod on Optimus 2X, is it possible?

I really like my Optimus 2x except for its camera. I heard SII has a very nice camera. I found a website selling the SII camera module for $10. I am wondering is it possible to replace the 2X's camera with SII's camera?
Two camera modules looks very similar

Dude, have you tried to take the back cover off, and then take a picture?

I never doubt that sgs2 has a better camera than o2x. But even if you somehow magically manage to attach the sgs2 camera on o2x board, there is still the issue of drivers needed to make the camera work. It's too much hassle and the chances someone can pull it of flawlessly imho is very slim.
Just sharing my 2cents

this thread is useless. implementing that module is impossible. (by your standarts, because clearly you dont understand the complexity behind this)
o2x camera is great imo. a little slow, but really good anyway.

I still think it is possible since some cell phones use the same camera modules. For example Galaxy SII and MyTouch 4G Slide both use Sony IMX105 camera module.

The O2x's camera module is clearly different though, as you've pointed out. -.-'

Just get a small camera, with a decent optical pop-out lense. Will like be much better. As mentioned try removing the rear cover, if that sorts you pictures out, then you can modify the back cover to be without the plastic covering it.

You could also install andy's-cp camera mod. It made my camera almost perfect. Went from pretty good to awesome. You'll find it in apps and themes

I did try to take photos without the back cover but I did not see any improvement.

Nikon Coolpix s6200
10x optical zoom
Nikon quality low light images
Sony Cyber-shot m630
5x optical zoom
Samsung mv800
5x optical zoom
If I had to choose one of them, I'd go with the Nikon

Thanks above but was looking for something more in terms of technical . Not just about zoom. Coolpix is out of the running now due to when using camcorder and zoom you can hear on playback the zoom sound like a drill

Well with cameras that small, there's not a lot of technical difference.
The higher optical zoom is always better than digital zoom.
Nikon has reports of excellent low light pictures.
I've got a canon sx210is with 14x optical zoom, Jessops are doing it now for £149 so it's probably available elsewhere for less.
I bought it as a 40m dive enclosure is available for it.
I also got a slip on extension tube that allows you to use filters.
The low light abilities of the camera really impressed me.
This video was taken on a dark boat during a dark overcast day. The only lights that were on are the coloured disco ones shooting around
I took this out the front a few nights ago when we had snow. Only street lighting was used.

It all depends what you want to use it for.
If you just want a point and shoot to take snaps, then go for the cheapest one of the bunch.

That's some funky dancing lol. Thanks for the answer.

Poor Camera Quality at Night

I find the camera on the Note 5 is wonderful but lately I've noticed some issues in night conditions that are disappointing. I have a ton of streak artifact. Best way to describe it is to just look at the photos below. I wanted to take some nice photos of my two rides and came back disappointed.
I took photos with THREE different camera phones and none of those did what the Note 5 did. Any thoughts?
Galaxy Note 5 set first, followed by my AOSP G3, and the last shot is with an older generation iPhone.
Note 5 set to auto mode. I tried tweaking things with other settings and nothing could get rid of those streaks.
Imaging quality overall goes to the Note 5 but those artifacts make it unbearable. Is there something wrong in software? Is it a dirty lens issue (and if so how do I successfully clean it)? Is this a hardware problem that I should try and warranty?
Only modification to the photos posted was I dropped the resolution for easier viewing.
GALAXY NOTE 5

Obviously image quality goes down but those streaks certainly don't show up anymore.
iPhone

factory reset is the last resort, try other apps like camera MX or camera FV5, if the same results occur, then the problem is either firmware or something in the sensor.
Clean your lens, rule number 1.
You try and apply the camera mod to increase jpeg quality a bit, but first do what i mentioned above and report back soldier!

That's all lens.

Is there any chance that you installed a rear screen protector for the camera?
If not and cleaning the lens doesn't solve this, then there's nothing you can do, besides eliminating those flares manually in ps or something.
Lens flare is quite common, espeically at large aperture lens such as the one which located in this phone, but these are quite severe and might be caused by lens misalignment or another defect. I'll try to shoot some lamp posts at night and see what's going on with my unit.

welp...tiny...T-I-N-Y scratch I can see over the camera...unreal. I'm guessing that's it. At least in day time it only happens in direct light. Here's an example with it showing and one without it showing...
Flair over blue car...
As long as I play angles enough it seems to get out of the view entirely. I guess I'll be learning a new way to take photos from now on... :/

You can probably get the camera lens replaced without burning your wallet, might want to look into that. The Note 5 definitely took better photos than the G3, ignore the lens defects. The difference there is insane.
