Problems with the cam / strangely turning pictures

Hey there, my girlfriends Galaxy SIII Mini's Camera causes some strange problems. When she takes a photo, you can never tell how it will be alligned. Even though she tries to compensate by turning the device, the pictures seem to be unpredictably wrong sided. Somethomes upside down, sometimes just turned by 90°. Sometimes they even look like they should! It's totally strange and even using another cam app isn't helping. The UI is even turning with the device how it should be...but you can never tell how it will turn out. She uses stock Android without root or anything and it's always up to date, as far a s samsung allows that.
Any idea what that could be?

Samsung phones do this, they're supposed to be rotated 90 degrees anti clock wise during all pictures and videos, that's why the pics turn etc. Give it a try. Quick pic compensates for the rotated images.

[Q] Focus issues?

What? Nobody is experiencing the focus issue with the camera on the GS4? I have owned several Samsung devices and have never had this issue before.
When you use your camera (after non-use for awhile), it's blurry for about 30 seconds before it eventually recovered from the blurred view.

[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.

[Q] EK-GC100 Autofocus only with zoom

Hello! I had Galaxy Camera EK-GC100 laying around with broken camera lens (it was hit a little bit and the zoom didn't work at all and all I was getting was Camera Error when launching the app) so I decided to fix it. Bought camera lens replaced mine (I used old/mine color thingy that goes on top of the lens), put everything together and now it doesn't catch focus
HECK! I bought second new lens! And the problem didn't fix!
When I'm not using any zoom the image is extremely blurry but the moment I zoom at least 5x it becomes crystal clear!
What have I done wrong? Is there any camera calibration to do? I tried Factory Reset on the device already and using the expert doesn't work either. Here's some examples of how it looks:

Same here. Has anyone solved this problem?

Should i get a warranty replacement? (Camera Vibrates when Starting)

So I've had a problem with my camera for some time now. Whenever I start the camera app or anything that uses the camera, my phone starts vibrating/making a weird noise. It feels like it is initializing the camera, but I have no idea what is happening. All I know is it take an intermittent amount of time (1-5 seconds) of vibrating until I can use the camera.
I'm looking to get my phone replaced, but I've read so many horror stories of people getting refurbished phones that are in worse conditions. Should I get my phone replaced? Do they do replacements for different phones? (Return a S6, get something else instead?)

My friend's S6 has the same problem. He can prevent it from happening when he opens the camera app while the phone camera (rear) is facing the ground.

I wouldn't bother. Almost everyone I know with an S6 has/had this problem. It doesn't affect camera performance at all, just sometimes takes a few more seconds for the camera to focus on launch.

I got mine replaced. I have a a two year old and those seconds before the camera is ready is crucial to getting a silly face or just a blur...

MM update stops the vibrating thing, in my phone at least.
