The camera app opens incredibly quickly. Couple that with the "double twist" moto gesture, and I have my phone off my belt clip with the camera app open and shooting before my friends even have their phones out of their pockets.
Am I the only one who feels that the camera's shutter speed is incredibly slow? Most of the time, as I start to take a photo, it'll start the flash and I'll pull the camera away thinking the shot was taken. When I do this it takes a darn photo of the world around me in all of its motion blurred glory. I really wish there was some way to speed up the shots.

You can turn HDR. That helps some people. Using the pro mode also gives faster results for some people.
I downloaded the Google Camera and the shutter speed increased just by that alone but I second the Pro mode.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can offer advice in relation to the shutter speed and auto focus on the galaxy note.
I have come from an iPhone 4 and one of the main issues I'm noticing is that the ability to autofocus and snap a quick photo on the galaxy note is non existent? unless I'm on a non moving target ?
To autofocus seems to take several milliseconds to respond vs iPhone which was almost instantaneous, enabling you to take better shots etc.
Are there some settings that can be changed on the note camera?
Many thanks

Im coming from a iphone4 too but ummm didn't really notice to lag in the focus times. Maybe its a firmware issue ?
Definitely a difference, auto focusing and snapping photos on the note vs iPhone 4 is considerably slower
Will hope that ics resolves

I came from an iPhone 4. First of all, the Note is much better.
Now the camera on the iPhone had a quick 'original' auto focus, ie the first thing it focused on was quick but the rest took a while and the autofocus event would take a while.
I find on the Note that I have to wait a bit longer for it to realise it needs to change focus, but it does it very quickly. I personally focus manually as its quick and easy on the note.
Side note, I've also found that the Note has a smaller focus range, ie it can do better macro shots.
Cheers

I'm an ex-iphone 4 user, and the camera on the iPhone 4 is theoretically faster. But what I notice with the note is that I can take a picture and maybe the shutter doesn't close as fast, but the intended picture is the one that is taken. I believe the shutter takes the data from the lense, then shows you the shutter. I have taken pictures of my bird who loves to move around a lot, and when I take the picture he is in one position, and then while the camera is showing the animation for the shutter, he moves into another position but the picture is of the one I intended it (especially after manual focusing which I always do. I never let the software do it. Neither the Note nor the oh so glorified iPhone did a fantastic job of it).

This is my experience too.
for me. only noticed that by the time I press the button. The capturing takes close to a sec. Before this, best don't move about. Once the shutter is animating, any movement won't affect the picture grade.
Only made one think that taking picture is kind of slow.
Thanks guys, will try manual focusing.on a side note, does anyone know why the music player stops when you enter the camera application? This annoys me as I often take photos when out walking, and listening, to music at the same time

Oh one more question, how do you manually focus? Is that when you hold down you're finger on the screen rather than just pressing the camera button to take the shot?
Thank you

Having used the Pixel 2 in a Verizon store, this aspect of the phone looks VERY promising. Leaps and bounds faster than my Nexus 6P.
Camera launch is actually the fastest I have ever seen on a smartphone, also faster than iPhone 8 Plus.
No issues whatsoever with bringing the camera up. I love the double press the power button to start the camera; so much more fluid than the ridiculous swipe gestures I could never get to go right on iOS.
Camera launch speed is really fast (for now... The phone is still new).
Camera was really slow in my Nexus 6 and 6P. I was always missing occasions. Took almost 5 seconds every time to be ready to take a shot.
Now it's about 1 second at most.

You could try deleting apps data and cache
I figured I'd time the camera "zero to picture". No way, it's too fast. 200ms? It's faster than I am, so I'm the limit in how fast I can get a picture, the app is no limit at all.
Best Camera in the section
Undoubtedly, Google has taken AI into a smartphone camera to another level.
1-2 seconds using double press power button
Camera startup time and click time is really fast. really happy with camera.
Mine has slowed down significantly over the last year... It can take up to 10 seconds until all the buttons are active. Not sure what's wrong...

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Razer Phone 2 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Video quality is excellent, in my opinion. Coming from a ZTE axon 7 pro, and a very worn out, dying galaxy S4 before that. Hardware in the new Razer is excellent, in comparison to my experience. Stock app does ok, and they now have 4k 60fps. Does very well in low light. but if you want slow motion or time lapse, you HAVE to get the gcam app. Razer STILL has not included those options in their firmware updates. As of 10/16/2019
Link below for a verified working gcam with slow motion and time lapse included.

Hi,
Is it just me or does anyone notice the difference in photo quality between photos taken with “single shot” and “burst (both LO and HIGH)”?
It appears to me photos taken using “Burst” mode are merely just “screenshots” taken from a “video” that starts recording the moment you long press on the shutter button...if this is the case, the burst function would be kind of lame (I wish I’m wrong)
I don't think they quality is worse with burst. Here are 2 photos I've taken with burst. I have a hard time believing they would been better with a single shot! Got many burst photos of my kids to that are great. Love burst mode. Brrrrrrrrrrap

I've noticed mostly the colours are less contrasted and that there's a smidge more noise but assist from that, it's great stuff. Much better than a screen grab from a video feed
The colors seem to be a tad more washed out for the BURST SHOTS compared to the NORMAL SINGLE SHOTS. Hope they can continue improving the quality of the burst shots over time with updates

Just a quick sample clip for the 8k shooting in case anyone is interested in its quality, no post editing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_YcA-BrMVA
8K is marketing gimmickry, pure and simple.
HOWEVER, for someone needing an action shot, it may be feasible to shoot in 8K as after all, you will never find a mobile device (yet) that can capture stills at 24 fps. Surely in one of those frames you'll have your action shot. AE/AF lock is needed to prevent focus hunting from messing you up, however.
Laser autofocus does nothing to stop annoying AF hunting during video. Fortunately, in pro mode this can be set manually to stop this nonsense. It's always been the case with video. Nothing is more annoying than watching a video while the AF hunts in and and out continuously. Very distracting.
The "metallic rain" sound capture deficiency seems to have (finally!) been fixed with the Note 20 Ultra! Even the S20 Ultra has it. If you take video outside around ambients with wind noise or noise from traffic you will notice it. Also if you plan to zoom during video it's imperative to disable the audio zoom feature. That will drive you nuts.
