noise when launching camera - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I've just noticed a very slight click sound when I launch the camera on the s3. Only the rear camera not the front one. Dont think it was there before and just wondering if its a problem. As I said its very slight and only when you launch the camera not when taking pics, switching to video mode etc.
Thanks

[Q] Clicking sound from autofocus?

Does anyone else hear a clicking sound from the autofocus mechanism when using the camera? Whenever the camera focuses, there is at least one click. Occurs a lot with the video camera when panning which requires the autofocus to constantly refocus. It's not loud, but annoying.
This is not an issue when actually recording video as it appears that autofocus is not active while recording.
I don't have my Rezound yet, but my Desire's camera clicks once in a while when it is shutting down.
yes, that's just the lens moving around. it makes noise.

Camera exposure

Hello everybody
I found exposure slider in camera setting has no effect on viewfinder and also on resulted media . Weather was still camera or video.
Any one confirm this or else?

I have the exact same problem, from both front and back cameras. Same in third party camera apps, exposure controls simply do not function as expected, no change at all. HDR picture mode seems to work fine though.
Not a serious enough problem for me to RMA, but it is a small dent in the glory of the S3 for sure..

I also had this issue and was deeply disappointed, because my optimus 2x made much better shots in low light because of the exposure compensation.
I found the solution today: I used the hidden camera menu *#34971539# and discovered that my camera was ZDFE02 and the phone firmware was ZDFE03. If your phone to cam button is greyed out, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32721917
After copying the file to internal SD, restart, then update and restart. You get new cam firmware and now the exposure works.

Focus buzz sound

Since I updated my s6 edge to 5.1.1, every time I open snapchat or camera app, the rear camera does a buzzing sound when focusing. I don't know if it's mechanical as I never dropped my phone not even once.

Google Camera "Lens Blur" and delayed shutter on third party cameras.

Has anyone gotten this to work? Whenever I take a picture, it ends up being black. Google Camera and Camera FV-5 both are slow to fire, usually a few seconds compared to the stock camera. Has anyone see this or know a workaround?
Yep, I have the exact same problem. I suspect it is because there is 2 rear cameras instead of one. However, you can use the front camera and lens blur will work, although it is not very practical...
If only we could have the source code of google camera...

I really want this lens blue too.
I can't figure it out but sometimes it does work.. mostly not. About 1 out of 5 photos makes it, the rest are black. I can't figure out why some work and some don't..
Haven't hit the issue?using Camera nx though (basically ported Google camera for 6p and 5x on 7.0)

My LG G5 camera has a mind of its own, not working right!

Greetings! So this is a tough one. I can usually fix these things myself. My LG G5 camera completely changed last week. I can no longer use manual mode on the rear camera, only the selfie camera has the option. When i click on mode while using the rear camera, the only options i have are snap movie, and auto. Manual mode is gone! Also, if i try to take picture with the volume button it gives an error saying "cannot take picture with volume buttons while CAM PLUS is connected." I am not using cam plus, i never have. Also, when in the options for the rear camera, there is no option above 8mp for picture quality. To top it off, I can't zoom either with the rear camera as it says "Zoom not supported for this mode". I mean seriously, wtf!?
I have tried 4 other camera apps, with no use. My pictures look grainy, and distorted most of the time. My s2 takes better pictures. I have messed with almost every setting in the options with no solution. I am praying that someone has a solution! I am on vacation and I am missing many great pictures. Thank you in advance!
