[Q] How to calibrate Samsung ek-gc 100?

Guys I have a problems my camera sometime doesn't focus someone told me it might need a lens calibration does anybody knows how to do this ??? Please help me out

Have you managed to find a solution for the focus problem?
I seem to have the same problem and the camera refuses to focus for a second picture until I increase of decrees the ZOOM factor for a bit. I think that this is a software problem though as I do not recall having this problem on Android 4.1.1

I had that problem as well. I think it's a setting thing. When you leave it on auto pic, the camera is trying to use the "best mode" to shoot that particular picture. When I use Expert settings and set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO myself, not only do I get much better shots, but I no longer have that focusing problem anymore. My wife is a photog and she taught me about this stuff. =)

Unfortunately it does the same on Expert mode...

Front facing camera stuttering?

Is anyone else experiencing the front camera stuttering when they use it? I swear, the frame-rate is 10 fps. I thought it would be while in viewfinder mode only, but it's even captured this way, making front facing videos (in snapchat) look terrible.

Pretty sure everyone has this issue. It gets worse the darker the environment you are in, and it doesn't matter what camera app you use. A few threads here have discussed it.
Should be patched at some point, seems to be just a software issue.

Mi A2 Camera Focus Issue

Hello, my Mi A2 seems to have a strange effect when focusing on the primary lens. I would just like to know if this is normal or not. It seems when on the low light lens the focus is even across the image but the primary lens it seems to wash from one side to the other.
Here is a video to illustrate.
Does anybody else's do this? Thanks!

I've been having the same issue for a while now! It's very annoying and I have no idea how to fix it! I've been using the low light lens and just taking pictures with that. I cannot tell if it is a hardware or software issue either. I'm going to install a custom rom soon, just haven't had time to do it, so hopefully that fixes the issue!

i think it's a software issue, because after capture everything is OK

I still have issues after capture. If I'm capturing text the top half is unreadable in portrait because it's so blurry, and when I tap to focus on the top it doesn't help.

Same issues here
I have exactly the same issue... It seems like the extremes of the picture are better and the sides really blurry. For text is really bad, and also for pictures when you want the focus not being in the center. As you mention, touching the focus does not help.
I have no solution for now, thinking on sending it back...

Doubed HW issue
I'm sorry to say I feel it like a HW issue as I am facing the same issue with GCam in my MI A2.

i too have the same problame even after capture...

It's fixed on my phone now, unfortunately I had to get a new camera module. The issue is likely caused by a misaligned lens element, so the only option is to swap the camera module or warranty the phone. Mine works great now. Shouldn't have had to fix it but I guess these things happen I guess.

It should be pretty straightforward, here's a teardown video: https://youtu.be/mo92gAwKv6s. That should walk you through getting the module out.

Can you send a link to the module you got? There's several between eBay and AliExpress I've seen, but am looking for a reliable one.

I have the same problem, I think it's began after update to pie 9, Is it possible? I try everything like clear cache, factory reset, hitting the camera. What is your solution ? Only change the camera with new ?

Don't think this would help as this seems like a HW issue affecting only some devices.

Half side blur photo (Unable to focus)

I am not much interested in camera when i bought Mi A2, it works fine. but recently when i was taking picture, it was half side blur and i was not able to make focus on upper side of camera. i tried all modes but no use. I have Note 6 Pro and it's camera functions and focus properly.
in mi A2 I observed when in MANUAL mode i select Lens as LOW LIGHT, it works (but in manual mode only).
do any one has some solution or give reason to behave camera like this.

Same here

It was a February patch bug and it seems to persist in March patch... Xiaomi.

This is a hardware problem, I also had this, give the phone a guarantee.
P.S. sorry for english(

How so we both have exactly the same problem and mine started with pie?

Looks like this is a hardware issue, I'm having the same problem after 4 months of use.

Same here, I also took it to guarantee and they told me it was a software problem, but when they gave it back to me nothing had changed. Camera still not working

I had ordered it from this website but I had paid the cheapest shipping, I'm from Mexico so it will take a while to arrive to my country.. maybe next month..

I had the same problem and replaced the camera module with a new one, and the problem was fixed... temporarily because 3 months after it started happening again with the new camera, so either I am super unlucky, or it must be some other defect in the phone that tends to breaks the primaey cameras...
At this point I don't think I am going to replace it again. Do you know of any way of recording videos with the low light camera?

I have the same issue. In fact this issue persists in the video mode as well. Its okay for videos of objects nearby but move even a few metres away and it becomes very difficult to focus. I was at this concert and wanted to record the performance but only got a very blurry video with muffled sound. For photos this issue is especially an inconvenience when taking photographs of documents etc where you could very well do without the unnecessary bokeh effect. In MANUAL mode this does reduce a bit, but not to any extent that helps.
I was just told by a friend that installing the Google camera mod might help, but I'm yet to try it out.

I have same problem with upper side blur. Seems that switching to "manual" mode and change "lens" from "regular" to "low light", as said by the original user. It works fine with me. Thanks for the tips ! ........ so it is not the hardware problem, it is a software problem. Changing camera may not work ! Don't know if they are going to release new firmware to solve it or not ?? Any idea how to upgrade the firmware ?

If it is a hardware problem I do not see why it would prevent using the secondary camera, it can be a problem with the lenses (Have you thrown or hit your phone?) and not with the module. There are those who have returned to Oreo and the problem persists.

Question MiUi13 - 5x Camera Stability Problem

Has anyone noticed horrible stabilization for the 5x sensor with the new camera app that comes with the 13 update? Used to be able to turn the digital stabilization on or off (when on it caused some weird jitter, but at least the footage was usable and stable). Now, there is no option and the video shot through it is always extremely unstable even when sitting down holding the phone with both hands while remaining as still as possible to the point of beeing useless. Specially at 15x zoom (sample footage included). Anyone else got this issue?
Also noticed that they added an option for HDR10+ shooting and automatic low light framerate adjustment that is not switchable. Anyone know why?
EDIT - Here is the sample footage:
for some reason I got multiple errors uploading video attachments to this forum...

Firstly, I have non of the issues you have mentioned above. I am on MIUI13 SKAMIXM and the app works flawlessly. The only issue I have is video recording gives me only up to x6
Regarding hdr10+ you can turn it on only on 4k and 8k. Not below that.

Okay now I understand, every zoom I start with gives me multiple zoom options. If I start with X5 I can go up to x6.
Either way, works flawlessly

Ok. You mind uploading a sample video in a reply please? Btw if you switch to 1080p 30fps you get the option to go from .5 all the way to 15x in one slider. If you don't mind try shooting from 1x to 15x.
Edit- I'm on the miui 13 SKAEUXM

A quick sample as requested
I am on SKAMIXM
You can try the app I've extracted in my other post, could help you.

Thank you very much. I've installed your camera app and unfortunately the problem persists... the 5x video footage is basically unsusable. I'm afraid that my optical stabilization for this lens is broken and I'll need to return the phone for service, fortunately it's still covered by warranty... This is a huge bummer since they make you format everything on the phone for security reasons.

Hi Mate,
i'd suggest before sending it off for warranty to install GCAM and try it out one more time.
is your ROM official? or is it the BETA version?
Also, I've learned that controlling camera in general is not limited to camera app, also the software of the device control's most of it and the app is just triggering the software to activate and do the algorithm of image processing. it could not be a hardware. (while I agree with you that most likely it is). but i'd try every possible solution before losing device for a few weeks or months if you are unlucky.

Also, note that seems like EU version of MIUI13 rom seems buggy, a few issues have been mentioned here and there that are not in the global version SKAMIXM.

I use miui13 EU ROM and have no issues at all.

Yes I use the official update as provided with the phone updater. I also have a gcam installed and the problem persists there too (sample provided in this reply). I think I've done all the testing required to conclude that there is actually a problem with the stabilization. I'll have to service it unfortunately . Maybe ask for a battery change since it dropped to about 4500mpa over the last few months with all the fast charging and the extremely fast discharging (cough cough). Thank you for your time, I'm really grateful for the tips.

I think I have this here too (I have the SKAEUXM version). Up to 9.5 it doesn't shake, after that it shakes a lot.
