does anyone have a problem with the yellow ring indicator around the shutter button (the one that indicate if the picture is being taken with long exposures times)?
mine ends early, 10s or less, so when im taking pictures with 20s the indicators ends early :/

On the android my camera seems to have a sepia look to it when its running does anyone have a way around it or a fix to get it like winmo's camera
It is being worked on, it has trouble in low light.
One thing you can do is hold VolDn when taking the picture, that increases the exposure time, you have to be very still though or these pictures will be blurry.
When your in the camera press the volume button up or down to make it better
Too late lol :/
Can anyone help with this. I thought I was doing something wrong but have now tried everything I can and still I am getting poor pictures from the camera. I have all settings set to highest quality and anti-shake on (have also tried it off). Press hold shutter, hear beep and release. The results are always what I would call poor. See the picture below. On these settings I would think I could read the titles of the books on the shelves but even the books themselves look grainy.
Is there a fix for this?

I usually tap the screen on the area I want in focus and when it turns green tap the shutter key. I tend not to use the anti-shake. Maybe check to make sure your lens is clean?
Here is a picture I took with the camera
Perhaps I am just expecting too much of a 5mp cam.
So I bought a HTC one 2 months ago (black) and the camera is...amazing. but the camera seems to be outside in natural lighting and indoors with natural lighting. When there's no natural lighting the camera has a blue hue to it can you help me? Or is everyones one like this? Also I'm not rooted I have my HTC sensation xe for that. As you can see in the pictures the blacks empathise lots of blue.

Two words my friend.
DE FECTIVE.
Get it replaced before the 14 day grace period expires. Or you'll have to deal with...
HTC... :shudder:
If you manually set the ISO speed to 400 or less, the blue should go away. Unfortunately that means you won't get the amazing low light ability. My One is much worse. It has a pattern that's visible whenever it's in low light. Not really a pattern actually but more like a macro of a tabletop or something, in the blue hue like yours, or sometimes in purple. It's very visible in every low light shot I take with Auto ISO. It goes away if I kill the low light capabilities by selecting a slower ISO, 100 or 200 looks best. It's not unusual for a ridiculous ISO speed like 1600 to exhibit both color shift and lots of noise, like your photos.
If you wonder how bad it is on yours, lay the phone on a table on its back with the camera on. The screen should show you any color shift or noise/patterns that your phone's sensor is causing. Make sure you have it on Auto ISO before you do this.
I suspect it's a problem for most HTC One's. Maybe even all of them. If so, it's not a defect but it is an unfortunate side effect of HTC's quest for the best low light ability.
I also hope the next software update fixes it.
edited to add: This image is an example of what my sensor looks like, I laid the phone on its back and snapped the shutter. This shows up in every photo I take on the auto setting in a low light situation overlayed on the photo itself. I still think it's an amazing camera that takes great pictures in most lighting conditions, just not low light or harsh sunlight in my case
.
Here's a photo showing the problem on a picture.

Just to show that the camera is capable of making great images, here's the same bird, same location, same phone/camera, but better light. This photo is at ISO 320, on Auto. The purple ones above are around ISO 1600, also on Auto.
This is how mine looks when layed flat

No matter the lighting conditions, or the settings I use, I always seem to get a lot of noise. It seems a lot worse in the top left hand corner and far left of the photos (when taken in landscape). Even when the camera lens is completely covered by something there's a red hue coming from those areas, with noise observed all over the screen, and then a blue hue to the far right side. When I switch to video this completely disappears. Anyone else having this problem or is this a faulty unit or working as expected?

Anyone else having issues with the camera not taking crisp photos?
I came from a S3 and once you touched the screen to focus and then hit the photo button it would take sharp pictures all the time, on the S5 I have went thru every setting possible trying to see of one will help it take a clear picture and as of yet have failed every time.
Sitting in the living room lit with sunlight I tried to take a pic of the living room, came out blurry (yes the plastic film is off of the camera). out of 5 photos maybe 2 come out clear. Last night at the basketball game I had the same issues, pictures of us taken by other people required multiple shots to get one that came out clear, shots we took in the arena when it was lit up well were hard to get to come out in focus.
Anyone else seeing these issues on the S5?
Turn off picture stabilization future in your camera.
Swiping from dark side of Galaxy S5.

This. I'll explain. the higher the ISO the faster the shutter speed at the expense of photo quality. in traditional film cameras higher speed films (ISO) came out very grainy and loss of detail. It's used a lot in dark, low light situations because as you know the slower the shutter speed, the more chance of blur.
image stabilization in smartphones has at least some to do with shortening that shutter speed by ramping up the ISO, leading to loss of detail. aperture / shutter speed / iso are the three things that are correlated, our cameras have a set aperture. when you take pics outdoors on a bright day, the shutter doesn't have to be open long, and the ISO is taken down to 100, so that is why you have amazing crisp clear pictures.
at night, take of image stabilization, set the ISO to 100-200-400, and have a VERY steady hand. when you try all 3 ISO levels, you'll notice it will take longer for the shutter to close, however if you have a tripod or set it on a table, your picture will look very clear. clearer than iso 400, 800, etc.
the benefit is at higher ISO, in low light settings the shutter will be faster so less chance of blur
I don't have the image stabilization turned on, it takes to long to use it and even when I did try it out the photos it produced were blurry as well.
I am pretty camera savvy as I have a nice DSLR, I have tried different metering options and messed with the ISO. No change in settings produces a clear picture, beginning to wonder if I have a defective camera system in the phone. I noticed this morning that the camera module is set in the phone crooked as well.

I get very sharp shots in good light. I'd say it is hard to get one out of focus in good light. I'm seeing pretty decent performance in low light (for a camera phone). If you are getting poor focus in good light, you may have a defecting camera.
What shutter speeds are you getting for the ones that are out of focus? Because of the camera's limitations in aperture and ISO, it is easy to get shutter speeds in the 1/15 second range. Obviously anything moving in the picture is going to have motion blur, on any camera. Only way to get around that is to increase light (e.g., use flash).
Here are a couple things to try (if it is not motion blur of subjects):
- Turn on tap to take picture, and keep the phone as still as possible. I find that with this set, I have to do less handling of the phone and can keep it more stable
- Picture stabilization helps a bit. It increases the ISO a bit, and does some image processing. It appears to be doing some sort multi-frame processing (comparing/combining multiple frames to yield a better shot). Seems to help more with camera shake blur than it does with subject motion blur.
