Is this an issue for everyone where the selfie camera indoors shows dark display but the captured images turn out more or less brighter. Also, the selfie video capture seems unbelievably dark in indoor lighting. Is anybody facing the same ?

Please reply and update all once you get the replaced phone, the issues are still exist or not,
because those seems not hardware issues ,but software related issues.
there are other users on lenovo g5s plus community forum replied saying the issues still exist on replaced phone too.

Hai, i too have the same issues , and on lenovo our phone community forum, some other users have also reported the same issues.
and these issues are also acknowledge by moto Support team and they said they have forwarded this issues to there camera engineers as per them.
hope they will fix those issues and release update asap.
I am also facing the Front Camera Dark Picture Issue
The Camera takes ok pics when there is ample light. But whenever there is bit if darkness, it fails to capture the clean picture. It goes too dark that the object in picture or video is merely visible.

Hello, I read 2 topics about One camera issues and considering I have not just RBP problem in low light photos but also a problem with focus I decided to create a topic talking about my personal experience. In the most of case, I am not able to focus good in photos. I tried with other devices and the focus works good. I tried also using instant take photo touching display but nothing changed. Here some photos

Also, I noticed that when the light is high, it creates white zones in pictures like that: http://imageshack.us/a/img94/8418/cthk.jpg
How you can see in one part of the floor there's just white, as if he had problems with white regulation. I tried with Motorola Razr and the photo is more bilanced. Here another example: http://imageshack.us/a/img694/3578/h5by.jpg
And cherry in the cake, RED BLUE PURPLE BUG! http://imageshack.us/a/img689/8060/hrny.jpg
Macros in good light are the best pic my phone can do but not always considering focus problem.
I am really nervous about all of that. Photos are taken with android 4.1 stock and android 4.2 with ARHD 12.1 . My device is made in china and May's stock bought in Amazon.co.uk
Hi
I have same problem. Xda dont allow linking picture, because im a newbie.
Same problem here, bad auto focus, and balance. Camera isn't the best, it can take photos but it's hit and miss. I'm not sure if there had been any forward progress on this. Could try the GPE camera in the theme and apps section

It's the device that's faulty because mine doesn't take shots like that. Yes, it has it flaws, all smartphone cameras do but I've taken better shots with my One than I ever took with my iPhone 5. The GE camera also isn't a patch on the Sense one, the software tweaks blow the washed out, dull GE camera away.

Those out of focus shots are not normal, not for all the scenarios you've stated. I'd look at getting it swapped if I was you.

Come on! No! Do not cover the camera lens, take the phone in you hands and all will disappear. They are pixels processed by the camera with no light.

Ok. I got tiny ble and red pixels too when the camera is in low light. But not like on your phone. Try to set up the setting on you phone to the best quality you can. Take a picture in Low and High light. If on the pictures there are not visible pixels that means is the preview the problem of you camera. If is the preview you can live with that, it's your choice. If not go for a replacement and explain the problem, but I don't know if the warranty cover that.

The picture is too dark, can be even a reflection like the small red point in the middle but if you are refer about the tiny white pixel, in this case is a faulty pixel. But I think is just a coincidance.
Any picture which you take have in the same position the white pixel? Maybe you go just crazy!

Yes it is a bit. The lens are clean? The leans are dirty in some way?
Also you have to take in consideration the poor quality of the picture because the low light make the picture more distorted. Is very hard for the camera to processing that king of pictures. You will never take this picture as a good picture so I will delete it. You try the perfection and is ok, I did this too. Try to take a nice clean normal light pictures, if they are good and no preview problem (solved) and no strange distortion you are fine. If there is any problem with the lcd pixels or with the lens you should have the problem all the time in the same place. So I think is not your case. Everything is ok..

No that is the phone trying to display something in the dark, the red bleed is any little bit of light coming into the lens. The scene is just too dark for the phone to render on the screen.

Seriously dude, with almost no light for the camera to render something on the display you are lucky you can even see anything. Liveview will only show you what it can based on real time processing, so in low light will most likely look much darker, in that light the shutter is probably going to to about 1 second, therefore the phone can't liveliew that because it will piss you off every time you move the camera waiting 1 second for the picture to refresh

Yep because it is too dark to show the colours correctly, it is hard for the camera to display, the red pixels is light sneaking past into the lens. Other cameras display the image as a higher iso preview so allow more light in, but change when taking the shot, not sure why Sony don't increase the this. BTW all my point and shoots and even my DSLRs in liveview have this problem in low light, unless I change the ISO high.
Maybe root your phone and download monxdified ROM, it has some camera tweaks. Try not to use superior auto, and use manual mode for best results, that way you can control many different settings.
Loving my new moto g. The camera has improved in many ways when compared to gen1. However, whenever I click pictures with the front camera especially when not in sunlight the picture comes shaky and blur. I attached a screenshot of how the pic is supposed(screenshot in the camera app) to come n how it ends up coming.
P.s.- I don't have shaky hands
Probably the front camera aperture is not wide enough to take pictures with faster shutter in low light situations. If it sets the shutter speed too low a minimal shake will make your pic blur.
Edit :Can you see what ISO, aperture and shutter speed is being used (check picture details)?
Front camera is one of the worst components on android phones...
Even the rear camera is not that great on the majority of android phones, so nothing to expect that on the new moto g that the front camera would be anything better...

It would take you a second to do the same thing. Don't be lazy m8.
Sadly mine isn't here yet (on pre-order in UK, releases on the 15th. My original Moto G broke a couple of days ago too so it was just as well this is releasing.)
I have a problem with the front camera. In low light condition, my camera suffers a delay in comparison of reality, as if it was lag. Anyone else with this same problem?

The pictures are little blurred or noisy, I compared the pictures with nexus 5 and it they are not even close.

Maybe try to clear the data on just the stock camera app. That should restore all the default settings.
You could try to turn on control focus and exposure, it allows you to drag a box over the area you want focused. It helps in certain scenarios. Like others have already said, cameras have never been a strong suit for Moto

The phone won't just take worse pictures with time.
You might have micro scratches too.
Please check this screenshot!
May be there are some scratches!
I observed one more disturbance when I open my camera,
Seeing some vertical lines while I was trying to take a picture!
Seems like magnetic disturbance! Is this expected?
Attached a pic for reference,
And the images are fine from close distance but the more distant the object is its get blurred, which is not the case for 8mp nexus 5.
I compared the camera's of my mobile moto x and moto g second gen, seriously my photos were out of focus and missing clarity.
As well the vertical lines observed in my phone are not there in moto g.
Will restore to factory settings and check it, anything else I can do?
Hey, guys. I've received my M9L two weeks ago and I've noted the front camera doesn't seal. Anyone can say if it is a software or a hardware issue? I've tested Open Camera app and looks like factory app. Please, help me. I need to talk with the Huawei Store about that but I don't know if this can be the firmware version or what.
That might be because our front camera has a fixed focus ( for better selfies as they claim). So the camera will only focus on your face and nothing else.
If it's not even focusing on your face you might have to visit the service center( probably might be a hardware issue but who knows.)
Also try updating or rolling back updates too.

Then maybe it's the lighting but who knows and megapixels don't determine photo quality much. The camera is decent but not up to the mark as advertised specially in low lights.
All the reviews have taken photos in good lighting conditions.
Also try disabling beauty mode that might also help a bit

That's how the camera is made to work.
The camera will only ONLY focus properly on your face.
Nothing else matters to the front camera other than your face.
So all other objects might not be in focus. There's nothing wrong with your camera as much as I see . (Well who am I to judge ?)
