Has anyone tried out panoramic mode on the razr?
just got mine in the uk today and found that it seems to cut off quite a bit off the top and bottom of the pictures in the final picture which has been joined.
this is rather annoying as I expect to get what I see on the screen....
What is the final vertical resolution of a pano photo. With my original SGS it was only using 1.3mp shots and stitching them together.
panoramic mode?
how to?
*sorry for the noob question

Open camera and hit the menu button. The fourth option on the screen looks like mountains with a sun above is modes. It gives you options from single shot, multi shot, timer and last but not least panorama.
ah thank you
i didnt noticed that panoramic thing is in there.. just notice single and multi shoot *shy
So my question is really what are the most ideal settings I should adjust on my phone to take the best possible pictures? Right now I have everything on default but I wanted to know everyone else's set up so I can take amazing pictures.
bump anyone ?
Bump, bump

There are no such thing as the best settings...it all depends on what you are shooting, and what you want to produce.

So is it best to just keep my camera defaulted then? because as of now I have it on auto contrast white balene etc. And if thats the case what are some good settings for low light conditions like inside restaurants and stuff?

I honestly think this is something you have to adjust on the fly. Adjusting everything manually is definitely not the fastest way to take a picture so sticking with the auto settings is probably your best bet when it comes to quick shots. There are certain presets (indoor, incandescent, cloudy, out doors) that can be used to modify the "auto" settings. Try some of those out. I would just try different settings in different scenarios. You're very unlikely to be in the exact same scenario every time.
Camera settings
As far as "best" all around settings, the following hold true:
*Self portrait: OFF (unless you are taking a self portrait)
*Flash: Auto (for ease) but turn the flash ON in bright sunlight if shooting people within 8 feet, to fill in the harsh shadows)
*Shooting Mode: Single shot if you want to not get carried away and have a million shots to sift through, or Multi shot if you are not good at quick shooting and want to have lots of shots to choose from.
*Scene Mode: None. (for best all around use) the other settings just force higher or lower f-stops and shutter speeds, if you don't know what effect those have on an image, then "none" would be a good choice.
*Exposure Value: 0 for most shooting. + for shooting with bright backgrounds (snow, sand, bright windows etc) and - for dark backgrounds (dark stages with spotlight, concerts with lighting, black walls, etc) The normal light meter wants to blend all light values to 18% gray, so if you shoot a gray wall, a black wall and a white wall, they would all come out looking basically the same with 0 EV.
*Focus mode: Auto for almost everything
*Timer: Off. Unless you are wanting to use a self timer
*Effects: none. They are fun to play with for a couple of minutes, but you probably won't use them much in the real world, and you have a lot more control over effects in an external photo editing program.
*Resolution: 3264x2448. anything else is a waste of the camera specs. Yes, you can use smaller resolution if you are only shooting things to be used on the web, but what if you have a nice shot, and you had the camera set to 640x480? Storage is cheap and plentiful, keep the resolution to the max!
*White Balance: Auto Most cameras now have a very good auto balance.
*ISO: Auto Again, most cameras are good at this. You will get more noise and "grain" with higher ISO settings, but you will get the image. If you keep it set at 100, you will get blurry or unusable photos in low light. Remember, this is a PHONE, not a DSLR camera.
*Metering: Center weighted for most shooting. Spot if your subject and background vary greatly (similar to EV+-)
*Anti Shake: On, what the heck, let technology work for you.
*Auto Contrast: Off. if you are shooting a gray, dreary day, let it be dreary, not corrected to high contrast. Again, you can have much more control of the final image in a photo editing program (even one on the phone)
*Guidelines: off if you are easily distracted, on if you would like some help keeping horizons straight, or to keep the center of interest in the "Rule of thirds" this will help you to NOT put peoples heads in the Center of the photo with all that sky wasting space above them all the time
*Image Quality: Superfine. Why would you want to buy a Lamborghini and only drive it 10 MPH (KPH)?
*GPS tag: your choice. Most photo folders can group photos by location, kinda nice. I leave mine on.
*Shutter Sound: On, unless it bugs you, but it helps you know when the shutter fires as well as letting the subject know when they can quit posing/smiling. If you are trying to shoot secret pictures in the locker room, then silence it Also, Android Lost and other phone finding apps can shoot photos from the front and rear cameras if your phone is lost or stolen, a quiet shutter won't scare the thief.
*Storage: Memory card! Too many things can happen to your phone, keep your pictures on the external card. and back them up with something like dropbox, or manually.

Thanks for answering as well, i posted some questions in the photo thread but everyone seemed to be a douche and ignored. One question is whats the difference between HDR and normal shot? And macro focus is for close up shots right?

Yes macro is a closeup setting.
HDR takes two shots and combines them for more dynamic range, but you have to hold the camera very still for it to work right.

so when shooting with the hdr setting are the 2 pictures suppose to merge as 1 if done correctly? Or will 2 pictures always show up in the gallery?

Hi guys, I have a quick question about the camera photo dimensions.
Is there any reason why the maximum resolution photographs do not appear full screen? They appear in a 1.33 ratio, whereas I'd prefer them to be full "hd" 1.77 resolution (filling the screen).
Putting the resolution down to 6 megapixels seems to fix this, but is there any other way around this?

Yes there is a reason. 8mp is a 1.33 format and your screen is 1.77, just as you say. You cant put a round peg in a square hole.
8mp = 3264w X 2448h
6mp = 3264w X 1836h
In the 6 MP mode, you are chopping off the top and bottom of the frame to fill the wide screen of the S3. (and loosing 2 MP of data in the process)
If you notice, the number of pixels in the width are not changing from 8 to 6mp, just the height. So if you ever decide to print an 8x10 from your 6mp photo, you will end up chopping off another couple of mega pixels from the sides, so your really printing an 8x10 out of about HALF the cameras potential.
When you zoom in during playback, you can fill the screen without actually chopping off the top and bottom information. It may bother you, but I think keeping the maximum amount of pixel data far out weighs the squarer image size.
That said; if you are never going to do anything but look at exactly what you shot on the phone, then feel free to shoot in 6mp mode and see the full image on your screen.
Good thread, I'm surprised there isn't more talk about the camera and it's potential.
So far, the only thing I've changed from the default settings is the *Image Quality: Superfine.
Are there any tips for nighttime or darker shots to be less noisey? I've found the camera to be excellent in the day time, but I can't for the life of me get those kind of pictures at night
Not really, you get better images at lower ISO settings, but at night, with the lower ISO setting you get much longer shutter speeds which create more noise...... You still have to remember, this is a PHONE
Here are my thoughts on the galaxy S4 camera:
Pros
1. 13 megapixel camera
2. Front and Back camera at same time
3. Some great new shooting modes like sound and shot, animated photo, etc..
4. Gallery has air-view
5. Gallery is easy to use and share photos
Cons
1. No paper artist
2. No filters from S3 (fall colors, solarize, etc)
3. Gallery does not have awesome scrolling view features from Note 2 and spiral view. EDIT: this feature is there.
4. Drama shot never works like Samsung advertises it to.
5. No Macro shot from S3 for close up shots.
Please add both pros and cons that you are finding when using the S4 camera and gallery.
Also, what features would you like to have seen added into the S4 camera and gallery

There used to be a macro setting in the software where close up shots would look great. I have tried to take multiple close up shots of my S3 to try and sell it online and could not get an in focus shot of it.

It doesn't need a macro mode, it adjusts automatically.
That's with a simple desk lamp for lighting, otherwise it would be even better.

I'm getting a *lot* of blurry shots. Is there some way to turn on stabilization or something? Most of my shots come out blurry unless I hold the camera *very* still. Seems like it should do a better job of this sort of thing.
For reference, I was a technical photographer -- I aided photographers in taking better shots by using their hardware in a better way. I know a good amount about photography, but I never really cared much for smartphone photography. One thing I'll say is that I've used many smartphones before to take pictures and none really came out as naturally shaky/blurry as these. Coming from an iPhone 5 I could hold both up and take the same picture and the iPhone 5 is clear and the one from the GS4 is blurry.

I'm pretty happy with the close up shots. I can't get the camera to focus as close as I could on my rezound, it still did well. This little bastard wouldn't let me get any closer to him though lol. And of course this app degrades picture quality :banghead:

I really like the camera. The shots are crips and clear when you have ample lighting. One gripe with this camera is the settings don't stick. I have set anti shake and auto night detection and they turn themselves off. I even had the camera change itself back to 9mp from 13mp. The gallery I just discovered that if you have pictures saved to the SD card and attempt to create some organization by moving them into albums the pictures get moved off of the SD card and back onto the phone internal storage. This creates a folder called "pictures" with all the albums inside as individual folders titled whatever you called the albums. You can't move this "picture" folder back to the SD card as it seems to be locked.
I'm at the beach today missing the beaches/snow filter from the S3.... another feature missing from the S4 camera
Also, does anyone know how you get the two picture at once thing from taking the picture automatically?

Open your gallery, select albums (top left) and it's an option there.
Another con:
Timer is disabled on most shooting modes. Sometimes I feel creative and want to dry the drama shot, and doing it by yourself is impossible. Having 10 seconds to stage the shot would be awesome.

lots of settings to work through on this camera. i don't think there can be many scenarios that the s4 camera cannot adjust for. was never much into changing the settings since a camera on a phone never had high expectation from me, but i might actually take more time to dig into and learn the options on the s4.
Has anyone figured out how to take legit drama shots?
I get a good one about every ten tries.

Just as what the title says, do you guys think these G5 camera shots are normal? Why?
To me they look mostly terrible, especially when zoomed in, the pics would go blurry and painting-like. Lots of grains in low lights. I hope this is normal though.
I'm wondering how this handset is even a flagship
camera shot samples are in the attachment

Really appreciate your confirmation. I just thought mine was defective and that I needed to get it replaced before the warranty is out. Mine is a G5 SE by the way.
Still, this selfie shot of my pal bugs me out, given plenty of light and the shot still looks like sht. I mean it doesn't look good enough to my taste, rather too cartoonish sigh../:
Photo's aren't meant to be zoomed into unless you take them manual RAW.
The selfie I would say the mouth moved causing the weirdness.
The photo's on the my G5 are excellent and manual is as good as you'll get outside of an SLR.
Reading the specs for the G5 SE, seems it's a different processor? Probably accounts for the shots coming out a bit blurry if the processor can't keep up. If the processor is cut down the the phone you have isn't a flagship
I would get an S6 or S7 if you're not happy, as the iphones cameras are pants.

Video recording is tough for me as well. My brother took some amazing videos with iPhone SE compared to my blurry ones. As for the photos Simple & Auto are the worst. I'm guessing it has something to do with software. Try Manual, tinkering with the settings, and you'll notice the difference.

Wow superb shots you got there! So your G5 in simple & auto mode takes about as bad quality still pics as mine? like water color paintings?
G5 is bad in taking macro shots, on the contrary it's very good in panorama shots.

If you want very sharp shots, use manual mode, manual focus and shoot in DNG.
The wide angle lens loses lots of details in darker environment, but still so fun to use.

I dragged the slider at the bottom with a face image on both sides all the way to the left and wahlah the front camera take sharper and more detailed shots ever since. Thank you!!
So my G5 SE is normal isn't it? I don't need to RMA it right?

it's normal!! And you're welcome!
And remember taking selfies in bright condition makes photos sharper as the iso is not pumped up.

Yes! My instagram username is @bastienhere
I want to know about how much noise a 30 sec exposure on iso100 with the ultra wide 0.6x lens, makes on the sensor.
The picture must be taken in a dark room and aperture and focus doesn't matter, since it's sensor noise I'm interested in.
1 picture jpg
1 picture raw
I can pay 10$ for the service in Paypal.

Thanks!

Got some really interesting shots from hendogg - lots of dead/stuck pixels (easy to remove afterwards), but impressed by the relative little noise on a 30 sec iso100 "warm" sensor.

Can you post the picture?
I buy my phone a week ago. So what do you want to see actually? Do you want to take night sky 30 seconds with 100 iso on super wide angle? Or mountain or my village?

I meant the picture from the other user that he gave to you. But if you can post some star photos or some photos in low light you have made with the phone, I will greatly appreciate it. I will also post some for comparison these days
16mm 3 RAW files tonemapped and merged in to 1 jpg.
I'm satisfied with the low noise high detail. 1, 4, 20sec iso100 exposure
