Multiple Camera Problems - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've never really used Zoe, but I'm on holiday so I thought I'd try it. What I've noticed is that it starts well, but it seems to take ages to "process" (45 seconds). It basically just sits there with a red camera icon, and the phone becomes slightly unresponsive until it processes. Is this normal? how do I fix it?
Also, I've noticed HDR comes up with some strange results sometimes. Example:
Regular image mode- https://www.dropbox.com/s/3r9kwi949e4tpzf/2013-09-24 18.21.18.jpg
HDR: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7h0lt71f8xhv7fi/2013-09-24 18.21.13.jpg
Why does it come up with those things that look like smoke clouds?
Is my camera faulty? I find the Zoe problem bizarre.

Stripes taking photos on htc kaiser

I have a htc Kaiser and there is a problem with the external 3Mp camera. When you start the application to take photos, then appears two parallel stripes, one half yellow hald red, and other below half green half blue. This happens only in the external ( 3 Mp ) camera, not in the 3g one. How I can fix it ????

Clean the lense
I have the same problem.
Tried cleaning the lens, didn't work.
Hard reset didn't work either.
Seems like a hardware fault with the camera.
Wait, are you saying they appear in the "viewfinder" of the app, or the actual photos?
Post an example shot please?
Mostly, It's cameras bug.

Was that supposed to be an answer to my question or a response to someone else?
Really, it's not possible to say whether this is an unusual "feature" or a bug without more info. The way the original poster describes it, it sounds like it might be some unusual framing assist feature in the live preview. No one seems to be willing to say whether it is in the previews or if it is in the actual pictures taken. (I know I have seen the Kaiser pictures thread, and they look pretty good other than some obvious deficiencies in the debayering algorithm that cause "maze" patterns to appear in certain situations, which is a common problem with some of the older/simpler debayering algorithms.)

yes, good question. does it look like this when you view it on your computer, or is it only when it's sized down on your device?
I can see the stripes while taking the picture and they are also part of the saved image. Viewed on the TyTN II and on a PC.
The camera was working fine then all of a sudden just started showing stripes.
Attached are some photos.
Looks like i might have to send the TyTN II for repair.
I also noticed that when you take the battery cover off, it seems like the camare can be taken out, so it may have moved and not making a good contact.

lol my first glance and it looked like you were targeting things with a crosshair. yea thats different than the lines i hought you were talking about, you need to send that back for repair.
Yeah, definately something wrong there, likely broken hardware.
Also I have the same problemna!
This happened to mine too, after working fine for about a month. Seems like a common problem, interesting it shows up after time too. I sent mine in for repair/replacement but it may happen again....
Even my own, for a month everything was ok, then is the line appeared
Same Problem
My camera also did this. I changed the flicker adjustment in the camera settings to 60 hz from auto and it went away, only to reappear again. Again, I changed the flicker adjustment, this time to aut, and it went away again. Very strange. It appears I can paly with the flicker adjustment in the camera settings and make it go away, at least for a while. It appears to be a common problem, likely software related.
i too
hi i too experiance the same problem.......
is there any one to help us... please post a geniune reply to our problem

Need help on camera focus problem

I had my X1 for about 4 months now....basically with a stock rom R1A (i'll update when R3A is out), stock panel manager and stock camera software.
Yesterday i was playing around with the camera and i ust found out that the auto focus doesn't always work all the time. Is this normal?
I assume the normal procedure is, I semi press the camera button, then the auto focus starts to work. The little white square shows up and the green circle also flashes rapidly on the top left corner. The picture will then start to focus and if it succeed it will show 3 green square. This is on auto focus anyway. When on touch focus it only shows one square.
The problem is now, sometimes the camera will refuse to auto focus. I semi press the camera button, the little green circle flashes but not as rapid as it is when it is focusing. The little white square is gone, and no matter how long i press it the picture just wont focussing.
Worth to note that this doesn't happen all the time....but it does annoys you when you are trying to take a picture and this happen.
Is this a hardware bug? software? something to do with light? or i just simply did something wrong? i haven't got a clue....
i would appreciate if anybody can help me....
P.S: does upgrading rom and using the new R3A camera software solve this problem?
me too.
press the button and sometimes it will focus on it's own and then at other times - day / night / moving / whatever - it doesn't.
i'm on stock R1A although added the MUCH IMPROVED R3A camera software... same old focus story though.

hmm....if i have to take a wild guess it could have something to do with the shutter...
but i dont know...can anyone else shed some light on this? any help would be appreciated
does it occur only when it is dark?
no,it could happen any time. not just at dark or any specific time...
drspain also point that out too...

I've completed my scientific testing and the results are as follows:
1. Auto-focus is random -at best- in performance. Again, doesn't matter whether it is day, light, night, dull, landscape, macro etc... it sometimes takes a shot, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, you press the button and walk away. 2 steps later 'CATCHHODDSSS' it takes a snap of your shoe or something sideways.
2. Best performance is with infiniti focus on using R3A software.
3. Definite difference between colour and saturation using landscape mode and auto mode or sports. Landscape seems to try and 'warm' images. TBH, auto is fine, even for most things.
4. The camera in the P1i is superior. I wonder why Sony didn't stipulate using the same tech... they are both 3.2 monkey pastels.

well, i've done my research too and i'd like to say that i've been unable to recreate the situation. It's focusing all the time now...no problem at all
weird...
and i havent done any upgrade and such.
Best thing we could say about this, is that this things occurs randomly
Well i can say one thing ....after switching to infinite ...its become better..doesnt take time to focus ..i.e capturing the moment we want or else it used to keep focusing and then the moment u want to capture is gone already...well i feel in infinite the focusing is also fair enough i think same as with focus...

camera shutter speed issue

I thought I'd got used to the Z3c camera -- after battling it for weeks I finally figured out how to get decent (though not stellar) performance from it. But then last night for the first time I had to take a bunch of people pics in a dimly-lit room and every single one of them came out blurry to some extent. With flash, without flash, different scene modes used, no scene mode, different focus modes, auto, manual... nothing I did resulted in a decent photo. This did not seem to be an autofocus issue -- nothing in the frames was sharp at all. It seemed more like a shutter speed issue, like the camera was just selecting a shutter speed too slow to freeze even minor movements. Anyone else have this problem? Was I doing something dumb?!
I borrowed a friend's iPhone 5s and every single photo came out perfect. This Z3c camera is seriously starting to bug me. I just seem to be constantly fighting it to get acceptable results. It almost makes me pine for my N4 camera, which is saying something!

check capturing speed with this app >> CameraW
it can be application bug
if the capturing speed is normal with this app then u need to repair firmware to reinstall system app like Xperia Camera (By PC companion)
:good:

[Q] Camera focus issue

I don't know when this started happening, but when I open up my camera, the picture is out of focus and usually takes about five seconds before the picture is clear. Now, if I exit out of the camera and immediately go back in, it's focused right away. It happens when I don't open camera for a while. Very annoying. Very pointless when you have the fastest opening camera, but have to wait to take a picture. Anyone else have this issue? A friend of mine has one on AT&T and he says he has no issues
The same thing here. I removed the Auto HDR and I think it is a bit better now. I am on Bell Canada S6 Edge.

Front camera delay between shots

Hi, when I'm using the stock camera software on my up-to-date, non-rooted A2, with the front facing camera, many times, it's impossible to click on the "taking a picture" button right after taking a picture, it's like frozen for half a minute or so.
It's very annoying since my gf is obsessive with taking different angles of the same photo, and it keeps us smiling like stupid for a long time without being able to take pictures...
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Edit: I think that a viable workaround may be an app that can take high quality picture with the front camera, and is able to take a few pictures in a row (I downloaded some, but some of them shows me the picture after taking it, instead of going back to the camera screen, and some seems to lower the quality of the photos compare to the stock app).
Many thanks!
