does anybody having a problem like mine? my camera colors now is bluish! it looks like it got inverted color.. when i shot at people, they will look like smurf!
go to the options and turn off the effects
There is a blue film on the back camera. You can remove that. It's just extra security for the lens. But this blue is a effect.
lol. that looks photoshopped
suggestion
have you thought about making your own blue movies? good money in that sort of thing
thats not it guys..
when my cam is in that error state (sometimes it works fine), i cant even change the effect.. at the first time I thought it got negative film effect, but when i open the setting it shows NONE, and i tried changing it to GREYSCALE, SEPHIA and others, but it wont work..
after several softreset, sometimes it will work fine.. but sometime it just give that bluish tone
I took some pictures outside with grey clouds, white builting, full 3 MP and superfine settings, and automatic white balance.
On my PC they turn out slightly bluish. So the built in white balance is no good.
Can anyone recommend good and simple to use software that can easily correct white balance, for instance by clicking on something in the picture that's supposed to be white?
Thanks
Hi
Been searching for a way to disable the auto exposure feature when the camera is used in dark scenes. Any registry mod to turn this off?
Sorry if it's been posted before, but I've searched this forum for shutter, exposure etc and have not found any reference to it.
I know the Diamond camera quality is terrible, but would be nice to trade blur pictures with dark but sharp pictures.
Actually diamond camera isn't terrible. It's just bad when doing photos in the dark, like every camera without flash.
it would be worthwhile to have a fixed focus as an option...similar to the landscape modes in digital cams where u just point n click without focusing
of course, the focusing works great in the diamond...but sometimes u might want to take a pic very quickly without waiting for the focus to kick in
also in situations where u want the background and foreground to be equally focused
not sure if there's any reg tweak for this
Is there a tweak for quicker exposure? Everytime i try to take a pic of my baby its always blurred or she's looking the other way by the time its taken the pic!

Do as i do, remove the sound of the shutter, take the picture and only say after
"Get ready ... 1...2...3! ok"
"ah.. but i wasnt ready..!?"
"Its good believe me "
IN advanced config you can set shutter to 0 seconds?
maybe this will help

anyone working on a fixed focus??
someone try this please!
Better Quality
Hi, To improve the quality on my phone i removed the back cover and popped the plastic cover on the back case. Wooow the quality is fantastic after that.
Only downsize is you have to be careful in cleaning the lens. A bit of a clean from your shirt or top does the trick
hi all,
im not able to understand why all the pictures taken by my Xperia are hazy..... even in daylight. please see the attached images for sample. which are taken in different lighting conditions, in "Auto" settings.
Bright Outdoor:-
, Sunny:-
, Indoor :-
i tested almost every settings but all reproduces the same, where as Xperia is quite capable of taking quality pictures (http://www.flickr.com/groups/xperia/pool/)
Im using the stock ROM, with stock camera software.
i tried the instruction in the threads (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5087670#post5087670 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577364) but not able to solve my problem.
The Quality of video is good & i don't have any problem with that.
I might be missing some setting in Still image. can some one guide me or share their settings to get bright & vivid images.

Well I'm not sure.
But once I experienced some effect of this kind and was surprised too.
Than I looked at the camera eye cover
and observed that this invisible cover is scrached.
And discovered that the camera eye cover has a little invisible
layer on. So I removed this by strong scraching with a cloth.
Once I removed this layer and made the cover clean again
I never experienced this problem again.
As for settings - I almost always use Sports mode
which gives crisp and sharp photos..
Touch zoom works great with far/close object effect.
Usually I have unfinished ∞ zoom
or automatic.

Thanks for your reply, but my problem is not related to shutter-speed or grainy thingy...
my problem is about the colors & brightness, i noticed the moment i click the image an additional amount of brightness has been added to the image before saving.
Please see this image to know my problem better.

I think you may have the problem described here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493732
I had the same issue - disappeared on it's own after a week or two...
I still believe it's just a lens problem,
where camera sensor badly interprets visual input.
Remember it's a DIGITAL camera,
so all the light/picture information is digitally interpreted.
There's nothing optical about it...
photo quality is good of my xperia....may be brightness control (adjusted through keys around dpad, up down ) may be high or the camera is in multishot in shoot mode...just a guess...
Hazy pictures
I had the same problems, my lens was scratched from dust and other...
I polished it with a Display-Polish (you get it in a cellular accessory store, or search at amazon for displex) and the pictures are nice and clear again.
But take care: Don't use it on the Touch-Screen!!!
Just dirty from sweat and/or greasy hands. Just wipe it of. But depends on how long has it been there. You probably need few minutes to clean it. Mine was exactly the same
I have the same quality of pictures too...
ai think most of you guys don't get the situation... becuase i also experience the same issue..
when in viewfinder mode (when just about to take a picture. you know, the part where you are hunting and focusing on your subject), the picture quality is great. no smudges, the light balance is ok and the focus is just right.. but when you press the shutter button and it takes the picture, it like suddenly gets another hazy layer of over-exposed fog above your view finder preview.
as stated as well by the thread opener, the video quality is good.
if it is something to do with dirt and/or smudges on the camera's lens or lens cover, surely you would see the haze and the bad quality on all camera related stuff, including viewfinder mode and video. as another note, i have the HTC camera installed in my rom and it doesnt do the hazy, over-exposed picture on it..

Like I said - first try it, then write Mine had also great videos. Why? Well not hard to find out
And yeah, the lens seemed also OK to me.
Like I said - try to clean it first. Otherwise it's pointless to write here and complain, coz nothing else can fix it Had this on my Qtek 8310, 8500, W910.. Know what I am talking about
Mine takes great pics in automatic mode, I have not done anything in the settings. I am using R3 camera.

Hi everyone!
I am a happy owner of AtrixHD,but two things I do not like:
1.Color boost technology of display.Such colors are acceptable for gaming,web browsing e.t.c.,but playing video and watching foto give very unreal colors,oversaturated,especialy pink(red).Definetly,there is no color adjustment in stock roms.Is there any chance to adjust colors(especially their saturation) within the settings of any custom rom or kernel which are discussed in development section?
2.In low light conditions(for example:small room with one window in cloudy day)my stock camera app is givng a spot with more pink color in the center of display,same spot appears on foto.All other camera apps from google play have the same spot.With normal light conditions everythig is ok.Does anyone has the same?Is it a hardware or software issue?
Thanks in advance for all replies,this i s a great forum.Sorry for my English,I am from Ukraine,Eastern Europe.

I know that ParanoidAndorid (not ours, OFFICIAL PA) uses custom color tweaks in their Nexus kernels. There might be a way to something similar for us, but I've never looked into it nor would I know where to start. Defy CM's were\are able to run color filters via software, not what you're looking for, but it does mean that its possible to tweak the display levels via software.
I've never had the pink spot issue, not in low light or good light. My low lights are just washy and kinda crappy, but no spots. HDR does much better in low light, sucks it doesn't work on 4.2 . HDR does look a bit oversaturated so you might not like it. Might be HW, might not be -- can't really say with any certainty.
Hey,
I'm rocking a tmobile 128gb blue note 9 and it takes takes some nice photos but I as I was playing around in my house after sunset(night) I took a photo of my couch. I have my ceiling light on, and low and behold there was a HUGE yellow tint to the photos. Not like a filter but more like the default white balance and tone were completely off. Used my moms iphone 7, and the photo was more natural in color from the same angle and lighting. Also swapped cameras and tried my note's front camera and the lighting was also normal. When I use the camera in natural light, the colors are fine and pictures beautiful.
https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/457879-photos-yellow-help.html
Googled it and found similar issues, tho thats a note 4.... Any ideas how I could fix this? The photo still has a ton of detail..it just seems again the default white balance and tone is way way off resulting in an inaccurate color scheme. I can post photos tonight when the sun goes down if it helps clarify
Thanks for reading guys !
EDIT: uploaded the reference images from a later post to the main post. 1st image is the yellow hue one from the back, the front camera is the second image and you can see the image is..normal.
I'd be interested to see an example, are you sure the White balance isn't just incorrect?

Here are two photos using an apple as reference...notice the one w/ the back camera is much more yellow in hue than the front camera. I wish the back camera was similar in color to the front colors.
Found this article:
https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-camera-review-900461/
It seems the note 9 actually may be crappy at determing the right white balance/temp with poor light which leads me to think, if this is the case then why does the back struggle while the front is able to do it properly?
bump
I agree, lower lightphotos get pretty yellowish. Seems easily fixable with a patch. I hope it is.

Thank you for the reply.
I googled a review and it seems to be the case with low light, easily fixable with any photo editing software. You want 2500k for indoor photos, which is what I adjusted the white balance to and then wham, perfect.
The front camera doesnt have this issue, but the back does? What gives? It's obviously a software issue...
I was worried I had a defective unit, but it's safe to say it may just be samsung's software?
Yeah after reading your comment, I used Snapseed and TOOLS - White Balance - AW (auto) on my 3 previously posted photos. Before/after comparison:
EDIT: sorry Ⅰ messed up, some of them came as thumbnails and the newer ones as full size images. To compare it is better if you click-open them all on different tabs and switch between the tabs.

Can only see the before photos, maybe use imgur instead or upload to the forum instead?
Yeah well, if my unit isnt defective and this is widespread perhaps maybe we can get a few more people to test it and submit it to samsung?
Maybe nothing happens but hey worth a shot....it really does seem like an easy fix(hopefully)

Fixed. Now that I fixed it btw, I guess Using Snapseed Auto White did not really give the best results. Only improved the lighting a little. I should try the 2500K thing properly..
BTW what app do you use? All apps I tried until now do not let me specify 2500K, but instead, have a + / - % adjustment slider.
Low light performance is bad beside my old p20 pro

Low light performance is actually pretty impressive.
Here's DXO's Note 9 Low light test vs P20 Pro Low light test.
Note 9 takes the win imo.

I took my photo originally in pro mode, with 'save jpeg and raw photos' enabled. I used all auto in pro anyways, so it's the same as auto just also saves in raw...
I then edited my photo in snapseed, which then prompts snapseed to open its raw editor. You aren't given as much to work with as with a jpeg.. but you can adjust the basic settings such as temp, wb, etc.
Anyways, when you're in 'raw mode' in snapseed, it shows you the default temperature(i guess JPEG doesnt save that info?) and you can slide it down to whatever temperature and eyeball it to see what looks good. Every one of my photos taken indoors with a yellowlish light, if i simply edit it...it becomes normal.
Here's a chart actually for WB: https://www.shopmoment.com/momentist/how-to-shoot-manual-white-balance
Now the question is, why is it that indoors my front camera produces auto photos with perfect white balance but when I use my rear camera, it has a messed up white balance when taken in a room with yellowish lights? You obviously have the same issue, so I think we can rule out defects. I noticed the yellowlish tint/white balance being off in some example low light photos at night actually where theres yellow light present in some reviews of the camera on various websites. This seems like a system wide thing, and would be great if maybe some others could test it out so we could make some noise?
Nope ....

Nope what? If you're referring to off wb, it only appears to happen when the main light is yellow. Otherwise, the camera works fine. Went outside last night and took a photo, it's very good in low light. Inside with the lights on(mine are yellowish in hue)? Photos come out wrong.
In your case...seems to be no major yellow light source.
My photo, willhemmens photo with the skulls and the photo here( https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...21378-yellow-hue-photos-help.html#post6389992 ) with the yellow hue. For some reasons, photos under yellow light are producing off balance hues. Any other light? works perfectly....
Least my case, but maybe I have a defect? It's what im trying to figure out, but it seems like others are experiencing the same. Don't wanna go in for a warranty claim if I don't have too.
