Has anyone taken an image using the stock GB camera app and found that the colors seem a bit off, like it has a saturation issue?
When I noticed this, I checked the white balance and some other settings and they were as they should be.

Actually I think the camera is great. My last few phones have been HTC and everyone knows the issues that HTC has with camera software. Could it be your colors look off because you are viewing the pics through an amoled screen which is quite dimmed? Have you transferred the pics to yor pc and looked at them?
Same issue
I had the same issue, I tried to do many things to fix it but it wouldn't work. So if I were you just get it replaced; thats what I did and now everything is perfect.

Hi:
I just got my gs2, and love it.
My only problem is that when I take photos in dark (ie. a bar) situations, everyone looks funny colored. Skin tones look either very orange, like those really fake tans, or very greenish, like aliens.
I have tried messing with the settings, and haven't found anything. Any suggestions?
Ps. everything looks fine the rest of the time, it is only in photos taken in low light with flash.
Thanks so much!

Okay, so it gets more mysterious.
When I view a photo I take in the gallery (or Astro image viewer), the colors are very orange or green, skin looks green, teeth look very yellow.
Now, if I transfer the same pics to my pc, the pictures actually look much better, more of a yellowish tint.
Also, any pictures not taken with this phone in low light (for example pics I transferred over from my captivate), look fine, so it is not the screen at fault.
I saw another thread with people having green tinted screens, but that would not apply in this case, since it only happens with photos actually taken by the phone.
Any thoughts? Is my phone defective? Can anyone think of a camera setting which may help?
Thanks so much!
I'm having the same issue. I don't think its just you, theres another thread on the forum that states several users having the same "issue" with the screen. Apparently it has a blue-green tint to it. It's quite annoying to be honest.. I hope we can get this fixed.
Around a weekend ago after flashing a new rom, can't remember which one, camera quality has gone real bad. I have since installed stock rom, an miui and several gb and ics roms. But camera quality is bad on them all.
Any ideas on what's gone wrong?

Try taking some pics in broad daylight, just to make sure. Low-light and indoor pics are usually not really great with smartphones after all.

The one on the right looks quite good.
Try some other camera you find at the market.
Thanks for your replies. It turned out that the problem is not the camera. I believe something is wrong with my screen. When I view Pictures or movies on my Phone I have the following issue.
- Black and dark colors are dotted with red. Mostly at the edges.
Now, this is only apparent when, as I stated, I watch a movie or view Pictures. The Black notificaton bar is not afflicted, neither are the wallpaper or anything else.
Any suggestions?

When I take pictures of certain people with my camera, their skin appears much more red than it should while in auto mode, but switching the mode to portrait fixes it. Anyone else have a similar issue?

Yes, thought my daughter looked sunburned on stock settings. I just backed the saturation setting down a notch and the pics seen more natural looking now.

if you are looking at the images using your phone they will look too saturated. its the phone screen it tends to over-saturate colors. If you look at the same image on your computer you will notice that they look much more natural. something to keep in mind, since people will be looking at the things you share via a computer and not your phone. so if you adjust to make them look ok on your phone you are going to make them look not that great on a computer.
Ever since I bought this phone it keeps make me mad, besides screen faults (I have posted screenshot of it few weeks ago here) and looping AF in video, few days ago I noticed a dark ''circle'' while taking photos and videos. It looks like a dust particle is on camera, but I presume the issue is more serious since I have it on every application that uses camera... You can see on the photo attached what I am talking about. Its only visible against one colour background like on this photo.
Anybody has idea what it could be? I don't think its a software problem, it looks more like hardware failure.
Camera issue is a big fault with the s2's. I've got the ugly pink spot! Never seen this one before . Nothing u can really do apart from...exchange it but will probably have another issue :-/.

I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I swear I looked. Does anyone know of a way to alter the settings on the camera flash? It takes WAY longer to take pictures than any phone I've used. By the time the phone is done blinding people with the multiple bursts of light, my subject has moved and the picture is ruined. Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing this problem as well. Also when taking a picture with flash the picture comes out very blue. Never noticed that much blue with other android phones. I'd hate to have to touch up every photo that I have to use flash.

Yea the color temp of the flash (which is just an LED, not a true photo flash) causes that blue tint.
My Galaxy S3s have the exact same problem. Swapping around the white balance setting can help correct this.

If you use an app like Camera FV-5 it is MUCH easier to change settings like this than it is in the stock camera app.
