[Q] Front facing camera is fisheyed? - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

I just bought the HTC One yesterday on T-Mobile. Does anyone notice a slight fisheye effect with the front facing camera (effects off)? I know that it is supposed to be wide-screened and it just might be that which is causing this. I just want to see if anyone else notices this or if I should go back to see if the FFC is faulty.

An "ultra wide angle" lens will have a bit of distortion and vignetting. It is to be expected. I have it as well.

Front facing camera quality?

How is the quality of the front facing camera on your Flyer? Mine seems pretty bad. Originally I thought it was the low light during initial tests last night, but I'm still getting vertical banding in the image.
I may have got a lemon.
Mines sucks too. Same problems ur having.

Both of the cameras are pretty bad. I tried to use the zoom and the picture was absolutely horrible.
I had a Xoom for a bit and the Galaxy Tab prior to the Xoom...now the Flyer. I must say, the camera leaves something to be desired. BUT- I didn't plan on using this as a camera so much. The screen is amazing.
As for the vertical banding, I'm getting the same thing on the front facing camera...FYI.
Same issue. Weak camera, vertical banding.

Not had any problems with rear camera, been able to take really nice pics with it. On the other hand my front facing one seems quite dark

"zoomed" is a subjective thing. Different lenses and focal lengths have different appearances of zoom. Few cameras are identical in this area.

Maybe a scratch on the cover or manufacturing defect on the lens itself.

hey i forgot to say i noticed it after i did the update so before the update it worked just fine now i got issues i tried a reset and that did not work so maybe i can go back to before the update and see if that works
My camera is off as well. It used to take decent pictures. Since the first update the camera doesn't focus as well as it used to and the anti-shake seems worse.

Is there a way to reduce the MP's in the camera settings? There are only 2 options (6MP & 8MP) The pictures are just too big and "heavy" to send thru my work email (Outlook).
Thanks for the help!

Focusing Issues with Camera on ICS?

I recently installed a ROM based on the OTA ICS update, and it seems like my camera is having difficulty focusing (similar problem I had when I used the Chase app for my OG Droid). It will attempt to focus, at some point during the process will focus properly, goes past the optimal focus point and ends up out of focus.
Thanks
Does this happen when only taking macro shots? I've had this problem since gb and it has something to do with the lighting. The problem isnt constant but it does happen often. I've searched around and it seems like a lot of HTC phones have this.

I just noticed this the other day, I was trying to get a close up shot and it would not focus, so I turned macro on and it still wouldn't focus. I even flashed one of the camera mods, I think 1.5?? and still didn't fix it.

Nope it's out of focus for pretty much any type of shot, no matter where I focus on the screen. (Auto-focus off, Face Detection off, btw).
It seems the problem is depth of field, I think. I don't know the terminology, but I describe it as a scenes with the subject in the foreground and something in the background (e.g. a person standing in front of a mountain backdrop).
If it's a scene like the one described above, it will just kinda focus in-between because it's confused if it should focus on the person or the mountain. If i'm taking a photo of something, say a wallet on a desk, it will do an OK job focusing on the wallet.
...
I just figured out a temporary fix. The focusing issues only occur in 4:3 mode but works just about flawlessly in 16:9.
Just wanted to see if anyone else out there has focus issues in 4:3 mode but not 16:9 mode?
I've had the same issues on all is roms lately. Fix seems to be to just stay away from 4:3 mode :/

Hmm I tried switching back to 16:9 and it does seem to have a better time focusing. Granted that could just be a placebo effect. Any other opinions?

Z2 Front Camera Issue.

I experience a lot of noise when using the front camera on my Z2. If I use the stock camera up the noise seems to get cleared after the picture is taken, however if I use other apps like Snapchat the noise doesn't get removed and it looks like I have taken a picture with a 5 year old phone.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a way to fix it?
Try cleaning the front camera with cloth?

Z2 camera post-processes picture after you have taken it. They smudge your picture to make it look smooth, as well as brighter if youre on low light.You dont get that "magic" when using 3rd party cameras. Correct me if im wrong.
