Hi there.
I have had this phone for a few days now. I must admit, the camera is very very good indeed. I have no complains what so ever with the still images that the camera records... its just the vids...they are way way dark.
I compared the video recording with samsung wave, S 3, note 2... and lg optimus 3d... in all the comparisons, the video turns out to be darker than any one of the ones i tested.
Is there something wrong with my unit??? I tried the few settings video recording option is loaded with, but that's that.
Can someone plz tell me what's wrong here?
because WP never had night mode, simply to nerv users
If you are shooting outdoors I have noticed if you slightly tilt you phone towards the ground it will expose a bit better compared to if you shoot it up facing the sky.
just put your phone on video and move it from facing the sky to the ground and you will see the exposure change.

Never noticed this, since I rarely use my p500h camera. Today I recorded some small videos and took some photos. I noticed the image gets deformed if the phone is subject to some vibration, I recorded a sample where I moved the phone way more and well the effect is more evident now, is it normal behaviour for these kind of cameras?
Check the video to see what Im talking about:
youtube video
watch?v=XxntHjcIe2U
Post the link correctly. Can't see the video.
HERE IS THE LINK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxntHjcIe2U
and it looks like to me you might just need to be a lil more carful when you take video cause i was able to duplicate what happened to your video with mine but i had to move the camera a lot like i was practicly shaking it and any camera will do that if you move it too much i have never had a problem with my video yea it can get shaky at times but its a none HD 3.2 mega pxel camera on a phone so i dont expect much what ROM are you running im not sure if it matters but i wondering ???
Hi,
I recently got the Samsung Galaxy SII and noticed that I'm not getting a clear image from the front facing camera (I'm seeing a bunch of vertical lines). Outdoors the camera is fine, I noticed it occurs indoors (so I'm assuming it's because of low light, although my rooms seem lighted enough) and is more noticeable with a higher screen brightness on the phone and when recording a video. It got me worried enough when I was testing video recording in my room and I was seeing these lines on my face.
I tried searching for answers but couldn't find any, maybe it's because I'm not familiar with camera terminology . Is this what you call a grainy image?
Is this normal? I wasn't expecting quality from the front facing camera anyway, so if other users experience this too then this really isn't much of a problem. The image I uploaded shows the vertical lines I'm talking about. I bumped up the exposure value to get the lines to show more because it looks that bad, sometimes worse, when recording video.
Hopefully this is normal and I'm just being a noob. I don't want any problems on such a great phone! Thank you for any help in advance!
That just looks like noise due to the small sensor, you can try setting the ISO to be locked at 100 to minimise noise. The downside is that shutter speed will be used to compensate so you need to hold the camera steadily.
The phone doesn't let me change the iso for the front facing camera and I can see those lines even before taking the photo or video. I'm just wondering if other users experience this. If not then maybe I need to get it exchanged D:
Thank you for your reply though.
I am stock unrooted(till my 30 days are up) anyway I have seen a bunch of concerts recently and recorded video using my HTC Inspire, then with my brief time with the LG Thrill, and now with the Galaxy S 2 and while the galaxy s 2 seems to give the best quality recordings it seems while recording it will blur the video for a few seconds like its trying to focus then it will go back to normal it may do this once or twice during a 2-3 minute video yet I never had this problem with my Inspire or LG Thrill just wondering if I am missing some settings or what the deal is?

Most likely the other phones do not have the feature of
continuous auto focus during video recordings.
Perhaps one of the devs will include a mod in these custom roms
which can enable or disable the auto focus feature while recording
video clips.
(not many camera phones have auto focus during video recordings)
I guess I don't understand the continuous auto focus, to me that would mean it would auto focus always so I wouldnt get the blur issue. I went through the video recording settings didn't really see anything I could do that would remedy the situation.

Continuous auto-focus in i777 SGS2 means that it will
auto-focus as needed automatically while recording video.
So when the foreground or background changes and people
or objects are closer or further from the lens that's when
it will automatically try to auto-focus for optimal results.
I don't see too much of a problem on my test video but then it's not moving "too fast" like people/motion.. only cars passing by.

This happened to me while at the gun range, kind of anyways. The camera was blurry for the first half of the video like it wasn't even trying to focus, then when it did I guess it didn't go out of focus again. Very odd. Now that I'm on MIUI this doesn't happen, this video is from when it was stock unrooted.

To be honest, on the stock/unrooted version I was running, I was having the exact same difficulties. You would expect that the camera wouldn't have to test its entire focus length before finding one that works and goes back to it.
It's not as noticeable when recording objects far away whose distance isn't changing, but when something passes in front of the camera or you move it to something slightly closer and it loses focus at all, it takes a good 1-2 seconds to refocus. That's a lot of time.
I was just thinking, could this be caused by my video recordings running off a 16gb class 4 kingston sd card? If so would I need to up the class or could I just switch my video recordings to go onto the 16gb of internal storage space? I may just switch it to internal and try a video and see if that is part of the problem.
Hey all.
I just got a new HTC Titan, which I originally thought to be fantastic as a shooter, however having taken sample pics over 3 days, to say I am dissapointed would be the least.
I've attached some images and I was wondering if you can determine if there is some problem with my Titan or if this is just the expected Cameria quality.
Even zooming in a tiny bit shows that everything is blurry. Looking at the keyboard, you can see all the writing on the keys are fuzzy (the top row is incomprehensible). At the building, the giant words are almost unreadable.
All shots taken with default Automatic 8MP settings. Good natural lighting.
Is this the normal quality or is something going wrong?
I don't see anything bad in these photos, except wrong focus.
I don't think so..
Never had much issues. Ofcourse not the best cam out there, but not bad either.
got vodafone-branded Titan (Europe)
compared to other WP-Devices before the Titan takes best photos...
No problems here
My camera seems to be working just fine =)
Is there anything I'm missing here?
Tried taking selfie videos and everything is completely blurry and washed out.
I leave the phone static on the floor and then hit record and go do my stuff within range of the camera. When the recording is done the whole video is a mess.
Literally my spare, old, Samsung galaxy s 7 (not even Edge) takes selfie videos that are crisp and light years better than this!!!!
Anyone can explain??

I'm with The same problema to take selfies
front camera has fixed focus , you must get the distance from it right to get spot-on focus on you and not the surrounding area
