Hey guys,
i own my One for a couple of days now and I'm a bit unsure if the cam is really okay.
I'm on 1.29 and some pictures are really blurry on different areas, but then again the same camera shot is completely okay and sharp.
Here are examples of what I meant.
The first two pictures were taken from the same location and you'll see the difference (besides the sky is not in line in one of them).
The third one is really blurry on the right side but this can't be a out of focus thing because of the small sensor and wide angle.
The other pictures I made were completely fine so far.
Is this a known issue? How can I test the camera better? Do I need a replacement?
Thanks
Daniel

Mine does the same thing I don't know why...

The distortion seems to indicate a problem with the rolling shutter, along with movement in the camera. I'd hazard a guess and say your hand was moving slightly when the first picture was taken. The effect shouldn't be that pronounced, though, you shouldn't even been able to see it, really.
I haven't even figured out which way the shutter moves on this one.. hm. Something to look at.
I'm not sure if i understood you right but the Shutter time was 1/1200 so i don't think that shaking should be a problem.
Also it's only partial, as you see the house is perfectly sharp!
Yeah, but CMOS sensors don't capture the image all at once. It's like a scanline renderer or an old CRT television, it starts at the top and works its way down to the bottom. That's what creates the "warping" effect on videos shot with cameras like this (you can Google it, it's typically called the "rolling shutter effect"). If you switch between the two photos you posted, there's clearly some pretty nasty distortion happening on one of them (probably the first one, with the blurring).
But, the bottom line is that you shouldn't see it at all, or it should be so slight as to be unnoticeable on a still frame shot. I've seen it on videos I've taken with my older phones, but never on a still shot, and never as bad as what I see in those shots you posted. I'm not sure if that's a problem in the software/firmware of the camera (in which case it can be fixed), or a problem with the CMOS sensor itself not actually capturing the image as quickly as it was supposed to.
Was there anything particular about these shots that was different from the norm? Were they captured in a batch, or just a single click? ZOE mode, or just straight up? The stock HTC camera app, or a third-party app? And is the phone ROMd? I don't think they've got the camera working quite right in most ROMs right now, although I don't know if the effect would be what you're describing.
Mind you, I don't know squat about actually fixing the issue, but I can hopefully help narrow it down to what's causing it.
Curse my not-having-the-phone-yet-edness. I'd test all this myself, but my One doesn't get here until tomorrow. I do intend on running the camera through its paces over the first week or so I have it, though.
same here
I have the same problem sometimes..
Thanks for your explaination. I also heard that the OIS may cause this.
And as there are a couple of people with the same issue (in this thread and over the net) maybe other users haven't experienced it YET and it's a software issue. I'm really quite unsure what to do.
The shots were taken with the original Camera app, without Zoe, with original non-rooted firmware, with normal automatic settings.
I've experienced this about 4 times now and i shot about 30-40 Pictures so far.
I've also had the problem a few times, and outdoors in daylight where shutter speed should be so fast add to negate slight hand movement. Also the blur will sometimes be in only half the picture... Odd.

Yes, because i remember one blurry picture i made - I focussed once and it was extreme blurry on the screen, then i focussed twice and the picture was okay on the camera screen, but in the end it was blurry...
camera defect
I had the same issue with the camera. .. I spoke with htc advisors and they told me that is hardware problem(lense or focus). If you have problem try to take a video and look if it's all ok.. my was keep focusing on the right hand side every few seconds. ...so I send my phone back to them for repair.. waiting now ..

The camera on my one started playing up the other week, At first it only did it a little and i wasn't sure what was happening. Yesterday however it did it a few times including whilst shooting a video. It seems something might be up with the autofocus system. It doesn't do it all the time, I haven't yet been able to identify any one situation which triggers it either.
Anyway, have a look at the video, it will be clear to see what i'm talking about.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm holding out for 2.2.2 before I jump to too many conclusions.. but it doesn't look good.

Sorry to say mate but my One has never done that, not in video nor in the viewfinder. Seems you might have faulty auto focus?

That's the same problem as has been reported in several other threads, except you are in an early state. It will get worse, so that finally the auto focus will not work anymore at all.
I had the same problem. You need to replace the phone.

I could understand that autofocus can be slow in low light but here it's moving too fast and in broad day light,def a faulty sensor or rom,try to flash another rom before jumping to hardware conclusion

Sorry to say so, but it definitely looks exactly as the other reported issues (and the one I had). It's a hardware defect. The op can probably wait for some time till it gets worse (which it will) to decide whether to have it replaced or not.
Btw it is temperature dependent in the beginning. You will have less problems when the phone is cold and more when it is warm. Later, when it has gotten worse, temperature won't make a difference anymore.
That was the fastest auto focusin i ever saw lol , anyway could be your sensor is faulty , just swap it with another one
did the phone suffer from some falls before?

This whole Ultrapixel lens was a mistake,low light photos are actually taken with ISO 800 and slow exposure about 1/10sec,if we put these settings in S4 it would have the same results

what's your problem my friend
i don't agree it's a mistake, actually the best thing on my One
never had guaranteed good looking usable pictures in all situations before
as for the problem in the OP, most likely a fault OIS module
oh and the world doesn't agree with you either, mostly the ultrapixel was very well regarded
you forgot about the very narrow filed of view and much slower shutter on the s4 (regardless of exposure time, i am talking about processing), you will understand when you use it, right now it feels so great in your head only
oh and you can speed up your low light shutter using ZOE mode if you like at the expense of light ofcourse

I agree. The camera is great (despite this problem i'm having).
I guess i'll have to look at getting it repaired/exchanged. Should I go to HTC in Sweden (where I live) or to the shop (handtec, in the UK). I do worry that as the problem is intermittent, that it will work perfectly when they test it and return it as it is. I'm also concerned about getting a replacement device without the nice HD microphone.
EDIT: So, I did some more testing and the fault seems to be with the focus of the camera. Initially when you open the camera app it auto focuses and this then leaves me with an out of focus picture and touch to focus never actually changes anything. I tested Camera FV-5 and this app has an option to disable auto focus, allowing me to take a picture without the camera ever focusing, this takes a perfect picture but if I touch to focus it goes out of focus just like the stock camera.
Obviously it is faulty as it no longer makes that click when you open the camera app, well it does, but only like once every dozen times the camera is opened (still out of focus btw) ... Macro shots work perfectly, focus is spot on but anything at a distance of about more than a foot or two away just seems to blur.
Below are a few more shots that highlight the error:

It is more and more common failure in new HTC craphones.I have it in mine also.

Thanks for the reply .. So it's not faulty then? Just a big negative of having so few pixels, no matter how much light they let in?
IMO it is hardware problem.

Has anybody else had problems with blurry shots when not taking a picture of something close? I recently went to the coast for the day and decided to take some pictures from the cliffs and on the beach, all of which were just scenic pictures at distance (nothing close up or in particular that could/wanted to focus on) but they all came out blurry. I don't seem to have any issues when taking pictures of close up objects or when there's something in particular to focus on but anything else is just pathetic.
I compared them to my Sony digital camera from about 4 years ago the pictures were spot on compared to the One ... See a couple of examples below. I tried focusing on various parts aswell but still the pictures are terrible ... Does this sound like a fault with the camea or focusing part in particular, or is it just that the One takes terrible pictures when not close up?
Thanks for any input. (The ones in focus are from my digital camera and everything blurry is from the One)

I would honestly do more tests indoor and outdoor to see if its a hardware problem.
I was having focus problems too, and I thought the OIS should be working better.
Then i started holding the phone a bit closer to me when taking a photo making sure both hands are holding the phone, kind of like holding a regular camera.
Also take advantage of exposure/focus lock; then snap the photo. Once I starting holding the phone more like a camera my focus issues went away. This was most noticeable in lower light conditions when the shutter speed isn't as fast as outside. I think something is going on and the OIS is trying to compensate for movement.
I also drink tons of coffee so my hands get a bit shaky!

Lol, I don't have the caffeine issue but with regards to tests, I have done lotssssssssssss lol. Pictures I've taken close up, especially ones where I want to focus on something in particular, look good, but anything at distance or ones where I don't want to focus on a certain area, just a scenic shot, they all look blurry like the examples.

I'm 99% sure it's software related and that's based purely on a test I just did with a 3rd party camera app and the stock one. I took the same shot with both camera apps and did nothing but let it auto focus and take the shot, one looks fine, the other looks blurry ... Doesn't take much guess work to figure out by these results, that it must be software based because both pictures use the same hardware
Check these 3 pictures. One is a nice close up with the stock camera on Sense, which looks very good. The other two pics are the two mentioned earlier, as you can see, stock Sense camera is blurry and out of focus but the 3rd party one is much, much better ...
Both look like crap, sorry. No details, no sharpness.

They're not going to be full of detail, it's dull, I didn't adjust any settings, I didn't manually focus or adjust exposure and I took them from my room ... Through the window.
I didn't take them to capture detail, purely to show how two different camera apps using the same hardware, give completely different results when it comes to backgrounds not being blurred or out of focus. If it had been a nice day and scenic then the pictures would obviously have looked better but then my issue is with focus and blur on the Sense camera, not how little detail the HTC is capable of capturing when the conditions are anything but perfect.
My camera just seems to have issues staying focused, pictures aren't bad by any means though.

I am on my 3rd HTC One M7 since April when I initially ordered. First two had gaps and poor build quality. I finally get a good build but have the same camera issue. Its all out of focus and bit blurred. I have reset to factory etc but no fix so its hardware problem.It's now on its way back for repair with P4U in the UK. Hopefully 4th time I will get a workable well built phone.
I seem to be experiencing the same issue. It didn't start happening until Sep. 14th. Did your issues start suddenly, or did your One always have this problem?
Here are some example shots:
Proper auto focus at a short distance
Improper auto focus from maybe 10 feet away
Improper auto focus from far away
And my phone issues, you can interview about the android4.2.2, perfect results, the focus is normal, close-range vision is normal, personal guess is driver problem, but no ability to solve, hope can help transplant drive.
please delete.
Hi all,
Hoping someone can help please. Just took delivery of my z1 and the pictures look absolutely terrible. It's current set to superior auto but every photo looks so grainy on screen. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Yes, I'm less than impressed with mine - certainly nowhere near dslr level as they were touted. I get a lot of noise on mine and they are over exposed.
If you manually focus with camera button then take pic, results are somewhat better but still disappointing.
Could you please post some of the pics you've taken please? The reason I got rid of my LG Optimus G was because of the subpar camera, been waiting for the Z1, so I'd hope it's not a lateral move on the camera front

Guys, do we have any informed update about the camera low quality issue? Is it an early release issue which will be fixed by an update or should I return my phone and get another one in a couple of months?
Please share your input because I am really skeptic about this otherwise excellent device.
Use Manual mode with Night setting
I've come across a lot of people complaining about the camera not giving out noise-free images like it's supposed to. The trick is to use manual mode. I agree, if you use Superior Auto mode, it's a miss most of the times, and when it does work, it gives a purple-ish tint at the corners.
However, If you use manual mode and select the SCENE to NIGHT, the images come out amazing and noise-free!
[DO NOT JUDGE THE IMAGE BY WHAT THE VIEWFINDER SHOWS YOU. A lot of things happen when you press the shutter button. The viewfinder simply goes red for making it easy to focus. The final image in the gallery is a hundred times better]
The Scene modes are one of the most commonly ignored settings.
I hope this helps!
Sorry. Most people just want to use auto mode and haven't got time to fiddle here and there.
The scenes help but they are not the cure in that the underlying problem of poor quality is there. I wonder if people who post either are using a different software version, or are being paid by Sony to post positive remarks.
Nor is it acceptable that we should resort to using alternative camera apps. This phone cost £600 or up to.
It should work as advertised on the tin.

No focus issues on mine, just horrible, grainy images. really really unimpressed with the camera. If this is a firmware issue then I am really unimpressed that they saw fit to release it in this state.
Example's here - note the complete lack of any detail, the grainy over compressed background. Zoom in slightly and see the over sharpening that has been done, the bike frame goes jagged.
The camera was one of the reasons I bought this phone, and in its current state, I declare it 'unusable'

Hi Nigel,
I appreciate your frustrations. I have just moved onto the Z1 after holding onto my old but trust worthy Galaxy S2 and after the expense and hype surrounding the release feel let down by the camera as well. Suggestions seem that issues may be resolved once further firmware updates come about, not sure how soon these will happen though.
Anyhow off to take some crappy photos sine it's nice in Stirling today lol!
You up my way (stirling) too then? Be sure to stick some of said crappy photos online so the fanboi's cannae keep sticking their heads in the sand and claiming that the camera is good!

something just not quite right about our poster Nigel lol

I said the photos in http://scratch.veletron.com/z1 are my examples of the Z1, not in any other folder on that site. Go look at the properties in the files in http://scratch.veletron.com/z1 and you will see 'C6903' as the camera model.
Some numpty then went and picked up some pics from some ancient ebay auctions on the same site, and claimed that I reckoned these were taken by the Z1. Know your facts Geoffxx !! You are making yourself look like a right amateur!
Since taking the pics in http://scratch.veletron.com/z1 , I have added some 100% crops of the same pics.
Oh, and its no good looking at the pics on your phone, if you want to see their true ugliness quality-wise, look at them on a PC.
Nigel
The front camera is extremely grainy on my new z1. It would look noisy on the screen and i would assume through image processing it would clear it up. but it would do it so the quality itself is very muddy and blurry.
I was able to capture a picture of myself that didnt seem to do the image processing for some reason, and then i took another right after and it did the clearing up of the noise. I attached both. anyone has any suggestions? is this normal? the only thing i can think of is maybe my screen protector is affecting something in the light sensors? cause it isnt even over the camera.
And mind you, these pics arent in the best lighting conditions, but it wasnt very dark as you can see a window behind me. running 4.3 stock update.
Seriously? The first pic on the left is very bad. Even if I try the worse settings I do not get that kind of pictures. Man, I do not know what to say.

I was never able to duplicate the first pic again. so im thinking that was just some sort of glitch. but the view on the screen before i took out both pics looked almost as bad, until it actually saved the pic (second).

Hi everybody,
i got a P30 Pro since this monday and I'm really not sure if this is working as it should.
At day one I played around with the camera a bit (also at night) and was quite satisfied. Yesterday and today I noticed a drop in the picture quality. I can't remember if I was still on EMUI 9 on day one, but right now I have installed the last update EMUI 10.1 which came out 2 days ago i guess.
Please look at my screen recorded video and the pictures i took during recording.. If I zoom in and out I notice that only when using the main sensor these artifacts are visible, telelens and wide lens seem fine..
I also did a picture in daylight today, where the textures look really washed out and partially not visible at all.
The last two pics were taken at night on the first day, just for comparison..
this can't be normal behaviour right?
Video: https://streamable.com/66n2bw
Pictures attached
I have those artifacts too. They are called hot pixels. They are better visible when taking a long exposure photo in a dark environment (for testing, you can try covering the camera). I asked another user to try to replicate the results, he sees them too. I think it's a problem with the RYYB sensor.
Hm, i never noticed that on my device, and i take a lot of pictures...
So i guess faulty sensor?

... yes, I know ... and I've tried the same with Samsung S10e and Note 8 and it's pitch black how it's supposed to be, no artifacts/hot pixels. If you do night photos in Pro mode, you wil run into those very easily and it's bad. They also appear in some daylight photos.
