So I have my S23 now for 1,5 months and I bought for my vacation to Japan, to make some good videos.
Now that Im editing the videos I noticed the quality is sometimes really bad, especially when moving.
I always move very slow for a smooth video, but it seems like it was even better on my Galaxy S10!?
Also it sometimes seems really grainy...
Horizontal or vertical lines from buildings or lights or whatever start subtly shaking when I pan the camera slowly.
Is this a known issue? Or is there something wrong with my camera?
I recorded most on 0.6 ultrawide, but I check the few videos with the 1.0 and they have the same problem.
My photo quality on the other hand is perfect, so I dont think its the problem I read about in the other thread of a common camera issue.
I think it's happening because of the electronic image stabilization. You can turn off stabilization in camera settings.

So I was playing around and I noticed that when using the main camera it was really choppy, but when I used the secondary camera it was fine, this is for both photos and videos. But out of fluke one time today the main camera had no lag...
So when recording video it's really choppy and photos if I move even the slightest it blurs =/ it's not quick refresh at all.
Using the secondary camera it seems to be very quick and recording videos is fast, not choppy at all.
Any solutions?
After some quick searches I Found this is a common problem...but doesn't answer my question how I got it to work perfect under the same conditions (I was inside the whole time same light conditions)
*shrugs*
The primary camera lags because it shifts into night mode when there is low light so as to get as much light into the lens. Trust me, try going outside when it's quite bright or something and the camera will be sooth as silk
Some people hate this feature though. Not sure if you can switch this "quirk" off so it only happens manually.

That's the funny thing though...it was perfectly fine after this 'glitch' happened haha...in the same light conditions, I'm trying to make that happen all the time
Dear fellow forum users/Z1 owners,
I'm a new user of a Sony Xperia Z1. I've been using my phone for about a week now to take photos, and I've noticed that there is a problem with the camera display. When I move my phone to take a photo of another subject, the display actually lags behind and sometimes freezes for a second before finally catching up with my movements. Do any of you face similar issues?
Another question I'd like to ask, would be the vibration/movement of the lens as it refocuses, especially on macro shots. It makes this small "tick" sound and vibrates while attempting to focus, something which I've not experienced on other cameras. Is this natural or is it a hardware issue that I should get Sony to check?
Thanks for taking your time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing your responses.
Cheers,
Sonynoob
I must say - never heard for that problems.
I don't have that issues, my camera is working great, no vibrations, no lag - full HD recording or shooting picts - all works great.

Just tested the camera in a quiet environment and I must say, it seems to produce the 'tick' sound before every shot...it only gets worse in macro situations.
Same goes for me. I think it is a normal thing while camera struggles to focus.

Had this lag too the other night trying to shoot outdoor. I don't know if it was because too much stuff running in background or if it's the camera, only happened once.
Hey. I'm an owner of a P20 Pro for almost a year now, and I always had good experience using it. However the last couple of weeks I've been bugged with some issues with the camera. Stills are fine, and they look great, but apart from that, everything else just looks horrible. I've read multiple threads over the last year where people discussed OIS of the camera in P20 Pro, pros and cons etc.
Some said that not 1, but 3 rear cameras are OIS. It feels like I'm missing something on my phone as the stabilisation feels really weird. Here are my observations:
1.) Camera in photo mode takes 2-3 seconds before you see it "grips" something to keep it stabilised. However, this does not feel like OIS at all. At least when tested devices like Pixel 2, Samsung S9 etc. How is it possible that camera supposedly has analog stabilisation, yet it takes 2 seconds before stabilisation finally kicks in?
2.) Sometimes stabilisation just does not kick in. This seems to be the case in low light or low contrast environments, and it seems like the camera just can't get a "grip" on something to keep it stabilised. Shouldn't OIS work regardless of the situation you're in?
3.) Video is absolutely horrific. Same as in PHOTO mode, the video just takes 2 seconds before you see it "stabilised". Then even once it's stabilised every camera movement just makes subjects on video choppy, and the movement is far from being smooth.
4.) For the last couple of days the stabilisation just does not work at all. It seems that sometimes when I open the camera, it just won't work no matter how long I wait. The preview is shaky. Also, if camera is physically OIS, why is it not supported in 4K or even 60p? I don't get that.
EDIT: Just found out that turning "beauty mode" in video mode ON, also a bit zooms out and disables the stabilisation. HOW? Like, why? How are these things connected? I don't understand the logic behind it.
To me it really seems like there's software stabilisation doing the work, which is quite frankly poorly done. Yet, there are videos of people dissasembling the device showing the cameras are indeed OIS.
Am I missing something here, guys? I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find similar thread.
Guys, anyone having this problem too? If you zoom from above 1x to 5x (before the switch happens) all pictures from my camera become almost monochrome, I screen recorded what happens.
Check this link, I uploaded a video of what happens to my viewfinder whenever I click the shutter button in zoom option.
Check for example the difference between 1x and then above it

Hey did you find a fix for this? I just picked up a P30 pro and i discovered the exact same behavior with my camera. im seriously considering returning this device because of it!!!
Errrrm, it's a grey cat sat next to a grey cupboard?
Yes, the issue is there on my phone too.... hope they'll fix it somehow
Telephoto lens is a lot lower spec than the main 1x lens, only 8MP
Sometimes for fairly close subjects like that cat and stuff, you're better off using main camera @ 1x and cropping
Help
Hi did you manage to get this fixed? I have the same issue when I zoom the viewfinder is full colour but the picture de saturates when you press shutter
I have been to. Huawei who replaced the camera and I'm still having the issue
Please help if you have the answer
Many thanks
This seems to be a lower specced lens or sensor more than software, it makes the telephoto lens useless.
I have the same problem. To debunk some of the replies, it's not because the cat is grey. It's not because the telephoto lens is of lower quality because it's not used between 1.1-2.9X zoom where muted colors happen and what does "only 8MP" have to do with the colors.
There's definitely a software bug. Like others said, it looks good in the viewfinder but comes out almost greyscale when saving. A bug, just like the main camera being out of focus when zooming back out in video recording. Such simple bugs but still not fixed.
Noticed this too :/
I have this problem too. I had it on emui 9 and now on emui 10. I writed to the support but they think it's hardware defect..
1 year with this phone and the problem isn't resolved yet. And not only that problem, white balance is too blue, the sharpness is really hard, absurd amount of contrast. I'm very disappointed with this phone, because was publicize as "the best photography phone" and It's a lie. This phone do "good photos" if you hate photography.
With my previous phones (S7 and S9+), I found video stabilisation did more harm than good. With the S21 Ultra, it actually does a very good job stabilising video when moving.
However, I've disabled video stabilisation by default even on the S21 Ultra now. I rarely record video while moving, so there isn't much benefit in my context, and there can actually be a lot of "harm". One example of this is when recording video with the 10x zoom lens - I've noticed significant "wobble" effect when switching to this lens. It's hard to describe, but it's as if the whole picture/video is "wobbling" and distorting when using this lens. This only occurs when video stabilisation is enabled and only with the 10x Zoom lens (I think I may have noticed it on the 3x Zoom lens a few months ago too). When disabled, this issue goes away.
Can anyone else reproduce this? You may need to test in different lighting conditions - I find it's most noticeable with outdoor lighting. A separate issue is what I would describe as "micro-jitters" appearing when video stabilisation is enabled.
Same here, I don't recall having this issue when first purchased.
This was always present for me. And I always thought it is normal...
