I have recently install Pic2Shop on my HD2 WP7. When I try to use the camera to scan the barcode on a product - the image is blurry. Pic2shop then says that it can not read the barcode, and to focus the image - it suggests to hold the shutter button half way down. I find that I can not do that on my HD2 with it triggering the shutter. How do you focus the camera on WP7? Anyone else run into this?
You cant until the developers fix this non focusing problem on our HD2 builds...
delete the app and wait
That's not right. Maybe with this barcode app you can't focus, but with the normal camera app its possible. Just change into camcorder mode, the focus will sharpen the picture, then change back to camera and take a photo, have fun!

It's true but I take the pic quickly because focus blurs again slowly
unfortunately the app disables the cam mode
As a temporary measure until it is fixed you can always enter the code manually

Recently i purchased Galaxy Note & i really love it but i dont like its camera.
When i open my camera app picture look beautiful & very clear but when i shot the picture it becomes dull. I tried several other camera apps also same result.
I think its because of HD display picture looks beautiful before capturing it. After capture the picture it becomes dull. I am confused why so? its because of HD display or software problem or hardware problem??
Anyone facing this problem or am i alone??

Please reply me friends. if its hardware fault then i have to return it
i have problems in zooming...autofocus works very bad..
Without zooming i have good pics,expecially macro
Cam FW Version: OOEI08
I think in software problems,not hardware
Waiting for next Firm upgrade...and android 4...
You are not alone. I was about to post a thread with the exact same problem. I'm really disappointed at the moment as I'm uncovering more and more problems with the phone each day.
Software issue
I was having the same problem, go to settings, ISO, remove from auto to 800, the pics wouldn't become dull anymore... i hope...

All cameras with digital zoom will look very bad if zoomed in. It is because the image is enlarged using its pixels rather than the lens....so as you zoom in the pixels just get bigger. I t's just like when zooming in on a photo using pinch to zoom.. ..if you zoom right in you can see individual pixels and the image will look blurred.
This is not a fault, just one of the downsides of using digital zoom.

It's not digital zoom, it's definitely the auto focus.
I have a batch of good pics from when I first started using the Note, so makes me believe the latest firmware update messed things up, especially since macro pics look fantastic.

Forgot to mention, I am experiencing the same problem as the original post. The pictures look perfect in the frame a micro-second before capturing, then the actual image turns out a bit fuzzy.

I had the same problem, but I think I have solved the problem now. When I took picture, it turned out to be very dull. I was playing around with my case today and all of a sudden, I found a clear film attached to the lens. After removed, the new picture taken became well again. You may want to see if you also has the film on the lens not removed.
I wish it was that simple.
Something in the image processing is softening the image before it's saved to the phone. If anyone has any suggestions please reply (though I've pretty much used up all the combinations).
Note, (ha!) the front facing camera takes nice crisp images, what I would also expect from the main camera.
Yes im facing same problem! I see a nice preview and when i take a pic it looks really bad ! It is disappointing really...It was not like that on the Galaxy SII.
A few things to try.Enable the anti shake function and try to keep the phone still when taking pictures.No phones take good pictures in low light situations,so when abundant light is not available switch to night mode.This will brighten the picture considerably.
Also I find the auto ISO tends towards the low setting even when light is poor so adjust the ISO manually.This might explain why some people find pictures a bit dark.
The image for me after taking an image is very dull. Like the recorded colours are reduced from what you see on the screen before capture. This is also true for video recording. I have attached a photo compairing the images of captured vs shown on the screen before capture. Hopefully someone can fix this. It must be a software issue because the hardward already shows great images before capture.

Which firmware version are you running?
hi. actually i got this problem on first time. i got this problem fix after i reset camera setting. try it yourself
I suggest you turn off the auto brightness and set the display brightness to Max and turm auto adjust screen power then try again.
I think you think the pictures are dull after they were taken because of the screen auto brightness .
I figure the camera app will increase your screen brightness for whatever brightness setting you are on and the gallery app. Wouldn't.
So you will see a duller image in gallery preview versus the camera app viewfinder , hence lead you a misconception of the picture look dull compare to the camera viewfinder.

It actually has nothing to do with the screen, rather it's how the image is captured. The software is softening the image, so even downloaded images appear dull.
And it's only the rear camera. My front camera images are crisp both on the Note's screen and when uploaded elsewhere.

Your right, brightness was set at 0% but camera app always goes to full.
Silly me!
However, the problem is still there but not so obvious as in the images I posted. The colour is undersaturated compaired to viewfinder and its also blurred/ not as sharp. That is also when taking a photo using a perfectly still stand.
I'm noticing the same thing. The pictures are dull and not as sharp as what I see on the screen. this is a huge disappointment that I hope Samsung will fix soon.
i would like to know some fix about this too... hopefully there is a nice reasoning to image becoming dull...
faced kinda a similar prob on my HTC desire hd wherein the pics became yellow however changing the AUTO WHITE balance helped me.... However on my note it doesnt.
Hi.
As the title of this thread implies, I have been having problems with my camera on the latest Nougat firmware. One major problem I faced is the inability for the camera to focus (tap to focus). I've played with a lot of settings both on Superior Auto and Manual but the problem doesn't seem to go away. The photos I took are so bad and out of focus I feel like it's completely broken. I didn't notice it being this bad the first time I installed Nougat. Planning to do factory reset soon.
Does anyone face the same issue?
I have same problem.
Wait for it to be released.
I had the same problem on .372 firmware, but on .376 seems ok

Can you say object tracking is good or bad? What doest it do? In my camera it is enabled, should I turn it off? I don't use touch to focus or touch to shoot. I use normal shoot button( I am a normal photo taker).

Does the lens in our camera capable of object tracking ? I thought only Z5 series and later support object tracking.

Yes, z3+ is capable of objekt tracking.
Can ajy of you shoot good macro shots?? My Z3+ just wont focus close up subjects no matter what I do,but if the subject is further away it does focus.Ive experimented with the settings but it is the same.And yes ive cleaned the lens and tried with the hardware button too.I also downgraded to 6.0.1 but the issue persists.Any fix?

when you use macro settings, and have blur picture of close objects , it's because of the focal length of the lens.
Video recording (which can be ruined if you don't turn off CAF) can also be ruined by OIS - especially if you are panning left or right, you get a kind of choppy effect which looks awful.
Is there anyway of turning of the OIS?
I have been doing some reading and it seems the unit can be run in Manual as will as Auto mode for test purposes.
Seeing the fix for the front camera being rotated (after Hal3 setting) using an xml file,
I wondered if there was a similar setting in an xml file that could be flashed to set OIS to manual?
I await your learned answers.
If you are using snap camera, there is an option to disable stabilisation in the video recording settings menu. See the attached screenshot

Ok Will try
thanks.
Some of these camera apps have their own software stabilisation which you'd be turning off but I'll give it a go.
Sadly setting does not seem to be present in the version I downloaded
Is it just me, or does the Google camera port for Moto x4 doesn't support portrait mode for back camera (despite having dual rear cameras)?

The GCam portrait mode doesn't require a dual camera setup, the software do the cut and blur the background.
I'm using Arnova Pixel2Mod 8.1 and works as intended, but just to clarify, portrait mode only works with faces, if you're trying to do that with an object, use the Lens Blur mode.

There's no Google camera port for the X4, in any variant.
There are hundreds of Google camera ports, many of which function in limited or mostly limited capacity on the X4, though. Portrait mode works fine with the rear camera, as well as the front camera.
These portrait shots were taken with a Google camera port on my X4. (rear cam)

Not necessarily; I don't share more personal portraits (of people) but it takes portraits well at distance, in fact, Google is on record with its philosophy of almost forcing more distance with its default 1.5x zoom in portrait mode.
I'll look at the exif/metadata and check to see what the farthest distance in my portrait shots are. Several feet, at least, in some.

You are mistaken. Unless the subject is really close to the camera and HDR is on, the portrait mode doesn't really make a difference. I tried it on a variety on subject at various distances, and the result was more or less the same.

I'm not mistaken.
You don't know what camera port/version I used - that's number one. Number two, you don't have my camera samples, number three, you don't have my exif data.
I get two pictures, one with the entire scene in focus, and another with a different focal plane. And yes, at distance. Whether or not the ports and environments you work with can reproduce those outcomes is another story. But I'm not mistaken about anything.
Max focal distance for the portrait shots I have is around 8 feet. It may go farther, it may not. That's just a quick check.

If it works, you can use, I'm using LineageOS and it's working very well.
When I was using the official rom, I was unable to use that mod, crashed everytime I opened.
