The HTC One has only a 4 megapixel sensor. Because of the lack of optical zooming, when you "zoom in" you are not really zoom anything but only cropping the picture. With only 4 MP it is not to avoid that if you "zoom in" you will see some pixels.
Post a picture for a example, maybe there is another problem.

Camera zoom grainy pictures?

When I use zoom I find that the photo picture quality is quite grainy, and the photo ends up looking more like a low res video still, does anyone know is this the norm or am I doing something wrong?
I am running Viperone.
Cheers all :laugh:

It's a no brainer, we got a 4 megapixel camera, useful only for wide angle shots

Don'y forget its a digital zoom and not optical.
Optical zoom = the real thing, no quality loss
Digital zoom = enlarges the pixels and reduces the image resolution and the image quality.
IMO don't use the zoom of you want ''good'' quality photo

Thank you both for your replies :good:

Photo quality seems awful on the 3t?

Does anyone have any tips to make the photos crisper? They seems fuzzy

Are you talking about back or front camera?

Sorry Back cam
The zoom is pathetic, I give it that. I'm visually impaired and frequently use the camera to read at a distance. Can't do it on this phone.

It's digital zoom, obviously you lose quality when using it.

All phones are digital zoom to my knowledge. This is the worst camera for zoom I've ever had on a phone.
not sure why people are complaining on smartphone cameras expecting to provide SLR like features.
3T camera is not bad at all, in fact it is better than in my HTC 10

... there's film over the lens? I didn't see it, and can't see it now
The iPhone with 2 cameras have optical zoom. So not all phones. Probably some huawei phones as well.
If you want clear zoom (for visually impaired) get a zoom lens that clips on.
As for fuzziness (this note is for OP) try fussing with the app. HQ mode etc.. Also is it low light or bright light?
get the google camera 4.2 apk very nice shoots

Taking a photo using the 2 rear cameras?

HI EVERYONE!
is there any way or some application that lets you use the 2 rear cameras at the same time to take just one photo and thereby increase the image resolution? Mixing pixels or by interpolation, I do not know.
Somebody knows?
Thank you all!

Well the camera does somewhat support this as it does use both cameras when you use the live focus option. Not exactly what you're looking for but if you're good at editing photos you can get it done.
When using Live Focus, it'll take a pic with both lenses and you'll be able to export a copy of the "wide" angled pic and one of the zoomed one. Only drawback is that the zoomed pic is already zoomed so you'll end up needing to zoom in the wide pic to match it.
Again, not exactly what you're asking for but only thing I can think of. I believe this is the only option as one lense is zoomed in permanently.

Camera questions

Hi all, I have owned every Pixel and Nexus phone. Never really got into photography, so I don't know much about taking pics.
In the camera app there are what looks like to be 3 zoom options.
.6x, 1x and 2x.
Is .6x the new addition of the wide lense? Looks wide.
Also when I take a picture with 1x it looks like a normal picture. When I take a picture with 2x, on the phone screen it looks to zoom in as 2x but once the picture is processed and I go back to look at it, it's only 1x.
Issue? Can anyone else confirm this?
Does it matter if I take pictures with the phone upright or horizontally? Does it make any difference.
Thanks.
Well don't know what happened, but now when I take a pic with 1x the picture come out as 1x, and when I take a picture with 2x it come out as 2x instead of 1x like it was doing before.
I have had 2x zoom photos come out at 1x occasionally but it has been fine since the camera updated the other day.

If you are taking a selfie, or a picture of one individual, portrait mode is fine. But multiple targets look better in landscape. And please, please never shoot a video in portrait mode, ever!
Thanks for the replies and advice

LMAO I see people using portrait for videos and it drives me nuts... Although when doing a comparison side by side with the Pixel 4 I had to film portrait to be able to hold both devices while recording

Question Blurry photos at night with front camera

Hi, I can't take any good picture at night with the front camera. Any little movement to take the picture makes the blurry picture. I can only take a "good" picture if the mobile is in a tripod.
It happens to someone else?
Cheers.

We have a terrible selfie camera. Like most devices BBK. You can get a good picture only by using GCAM.
