Recently just got a moto x, I have looked but couldn't see a solution to this. When I take a picture with the flash white objects just seem to go crazy white hue, then if I try to take a close up of something with flash on the resulting photo is just a white screen. Is this a hardware or software problem?
for some reason moto built this phone and didn't care much about the camera quality actually the camera is fine but the flash qualities crap mine flashes about a second before the damn picture snaps which renders the flash useless, I have two moto xs they both do the same thing. snap to take the picture the flash flashes then goes out than the picture snaps.. gonna have to put up with no flash until the chinese start putting better cameras in motos phones
The camera is OK in outdoor conditions, indoors mine has black wavey lines going across the screen which get captured when photo is taken. This plus the flash issue issue is just a joke, I know it's just a phone and not going to be like proper camera. Big mistake selling nexus 5 for this phone.

Hello Evrybody;
I need help about the quality of the phtos? I know that the overall quality of the camera from the HD7 is not very good. But at least i think i don't must have blurry photos.
Did you have any experience about the quality of the photos ?
If someone can tell me if the Hd7 camera is so bad that I can't have sharp photo, it will confirms that i make a bad choice.

Be sure that you barely press the button so that it focuses on your picture, and then click to take it. I've noticed if you take the picture without allowing it to focus it's blurry 99% of the time...
Don't shoot photos in dim light, try to go for bright places. You can also use the "sports" mode under "scenes" ...
Hold the phone with two hands while taking photos, and try to keep it in front of your chest rather than holding it with straight arms, to minimize the hand movement.
Hope these helps.
The light button press, wait and stronger press is the correct way.
A short cut if you take more then one photo, after first photo if it is blurry or if what you see on the screen is blurry just move your hand in front of camera fast.
It will detect movement and re-focuss.
Yeah agree with the others I thought the camera was ****ty, untill I fugured out you had to half press the button to focus and then click full way to take the snap.
Still the camera is not the best, as far away subjects still appear blurish and rubbish in dim light as well.. I wish they update the software or something
Please remember that photo quality will always depend on the size of the lens, the aperture, the CCD sensitivity etc. There is a reason why good quality cameras have big lenses. Have a look at the lense on your phone's camera. See how small it is? How much light do you think actually gets through that tiny hole? And that little pinprick of light is supposed to illuminate the entire sensor array and flood it with enough light to create a picture? Exposure times with such small apertures are horrendous, especially in low lighting, and it's no wonder pictures come out blurry because you are moving the camera the whole time it's taking the picture. Even your breathing moves the camera. That's why people use tripods in low light.
In all seriousness, people need to be more realistic with their expectations of phone cameras. While they remain so small, they will always yield awful pictures, and will only ever be a poor substitute for when you don't have your proper camera to hand.
The best you can do to mitigate the problems is as follows;
1) You're going to have to use the flash in low light
2) Try to get as much ambient lighting on the subject as possible
3) If you can steady the phone on any surface to help keep it stable, do so
4) Remember that half-press to focus on your subject before the full-press to take the photo
5) Try your hardest to keep the phone ABSOLUTELY STILL while taking the photo. Breath out very slowly while depressing the button as softly and imperceptibly as you can
6) Don't use the zoom. It's a digital zoom rather than optical, so all it does is crop the picture, giving you a lower resolution
Remember with a phone you have no control over ISO, Aperture or Shutter Speed so your options are, well, non-existent.
If you really care about taking good photos, try to have your proper camera handy as much as possible.
Crappy Camera
First of all I have an HTC-HD2 and recently bought an HTC-HD7.
I don't know if it is a software issue but the photos taken by the HD7 camera are really crap. I have a HD2 running android and the photos taken now are really sharp and beautiful. Even under WM 6.5 the photos turned up really nice. I think the HD7 hardware is similar to the HD2 so it must be a software issue. Anyway the resulting photos in the HD7 are pure crap, no matter if you use 3 hands to hold the camera or lightning conditions. This issue makes the HD7 experience a dissapointing one.

Are you half-depressing the camera button to get focus lock first? Then pressing it all the way to take the photo? If not, it's no wonder your photos are blurry. If you are, see my previous post, above.
many thanks
Hello everybody
first I will thank you all for your help
for conclusion I will say that HTC must rework this part from the software. Wonder if they know all the problems that we have.
We will see in the next month if they change something.
bye bye
Noobs...learn about your phone, then complain...
My pictures come out fine just gotta focus, change the settings for appropriate lighting. It would be easier if there was an on-screen button to take the pic
Hi,
My camera shows a very clear lighter rectangle on every picture taken and also live in the viewfinder. It's very visible on darker or HDR shots and less on pics taken outside.
I posted an example picure below. It also seems to be related to the temperature of the phone (e.g. long in use or not). It looks like condense, but it's not because the shape is alway similar and it's been on every pic for a week now.
I'm very hesitant to send it in for repair since I just got it and don't want to wait weeks for the phone to return, but it's very annoying!
What is your opinion, can it be a software bug the will be fixed soon or is it a broken camera sensor? Have you ever seen something like this before (the repair guy from the shop didn;t...)?
Thanks.
While I'm loving just about every aspect of my new Moto X, I'm having one issues with the camera.
First, while the flash seems both bright and even, it seems that the the phone is capturing the photo a split second too late. What I mean by that is, the photo is lit enough to see, but it is as if it was not captured at maximum brightness, but rather a split second late as the flash faded.
Has anyone else noticed this? Clearly a software issue from what I can see, but slightly frustrating nonetheless.
Hi all,
I've had 2 G Flexes from 2 different T-Mobile stores and both are having an issue where pictures are coming out with a blue tint. It usually happens at home where most of my furniture consists of earth tones.
Here's what happens:
1. Set camera to auto mode and align a shot
2. Let camera auto focus and watch the viewfinder go from warm colors to blue / cool after autofocus
3. Take a picture
4. Auto refocus and the viewfinder goes back to warm colors for a split second and then back to blue / cool
If I time the shot just right, I can get a proper color out of the camera. I have also noticed that setting the white balance to incandescent while I'm at home warms up the pictures, but then they are too warm.
I've searched Google over and over and have found no sign of this. Is anyone experiencing anything like this with their G Flex?
Kinda pulling my hair out here...
Have you tried the lenovo camera app mentioned in the themes and apps section?

Mine does this too. The camera is awful as far as I'm concerned. The pictures always make the whites look blue, and as you said, the white balance will look correct for a second, but then when you focus or take the picture or even just give it time to adjust, it goes to blue. I've tried some other camera apks, and it is maybe a little better, but even still, they don't look great. If you set the lighting to incandescent, it does seem more accurate. My wife got an xperia right around the time i got my flex and it makes the flexes camera look like a complete joke. Aside from that and the bootloader, I love the phone, but the camera is almost enough to make me wish I'd bought something else.

I just got my G Flex and I think the Camera is defective with regards to the blue tint- mine actually flashes green and blue -_-
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!
