[Q] Camera issue?? - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys i just bought moto e few days back and lately i have noticed the fact that the camera snaps of moto E of a text are really poor.I mean for a landscape scenic day light photos its fine but for texts like newspapers,books etc its barely readable....
i am attaching the camera shot of a small size newspaper ET Wealth in a daylight indoor environment. As you can see the text is really washed out and can't be read!!
Am i the only one facing this issue??? are u having a similar problem?? Or is it this way in moto E?? (same 5MP performs in moto G performs brilliantly and text is quite clear in the photographs!!)
please do share your snaps of text and do reply or assist....i appreciate your help...

Moto E doesn't have auto-focus, it cannot focus on small elements like text or on macro shots.Unfortunately, thats the case and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.
Moto G has a different camera, yes they are both 5MP and have same UI but that's where similarities end.So don't compare the two.

I also face this as Moto E camera is bad but turning on HDR Mode is slightly Good.
Try taking Pictures of notes or reading papers with HDR Mode on
I use this Method only..

no auto focus on moto e

there is no auto focus on moto e whick means moto e with 5mp camera has fixed focus, so it takes pretty much decent photos in light, nut when it comes to taking snaps of small things like txt or some small elements the camera fails. moto e has poor camera quality so have to compromise here. i have 2 moto e devices both have same poor camera quality as it is a budget mobile, and even my friends have the same so no need to worry still moto e is worth it's the money paid for it. so enjoy .
ATTENTION: don't forget to hit thanks meter.

On my Note 4 I could take surround pictures which were up and down and left and right. I complete 360 degrees. On the note 4 I had to download a samsung add on. Does the V10 have anything like this. I'm not familiar with LG phones.
I don't see this option available specifically for the LG V10 or even LG phones.
But go to the Play Store, look at the app you used to use - then scan down to the list of similar apps. There's certain t be an app there that will do the same for the V10.
Good Luck
You need to download the Google Camera for that.
The LG v10 camera is just incredible though. It has time-lapse, panoramic, great manual tools if you really want to be technical with it, etc.
I found a cool use for the camera at a recent concert... Using the "groupie" front facing camera and rear facing camera side by side I was able to take a shot of the band playing a song and all my friends reactions at the same time. You can get really creative if you want.

Except the front cams take TERRIBLE quality pics. That's one thing I'm a bit po'd about with the phone. Even if the smoothing slider is set to zero, it seems like there is still a fair amount of it going on.

Yeah ... still good enough though.
But when you're as ugly as I am ... this is a good thing ;- )

Haha. I guess it really erks me because the G4's front cam took far, FAR better pics.
The V10 has a great camera but there is a learning curve to it. The Note 4 you just picked up and started shooting and it was great, the V10 has more cool features but requires a bit more manipulation. But it is still one of the best out there.

Given these are 2 5MP cameras and not the 8MP of the G4...you really can't compare them

I disagree. I have other devices with a 5MP camera and they are fine for what 5MP can offer. Reason being, they don't have the stupid smoothing feature that the V10 does with no way to completely disable it.

Oneplus x camera / Moto g 2015

So both of these phones got 13mp rear sensors. Though moto g got its from nexus 6 with f/2.0 aperture which was pretty good and opx got Samsung isocell with f/2.2 aperture which is capable of capturing great images in low light as well.
Is moto g with $200 price tag a better camera phone than opx with $250 ?
Clearly opx pisses on moto g in performance aspect.
So what do u guys think ?
PS. I own both the devices and front camera seems better in opx.

Back cam will get better in OnePlus X with an update.. Definitely OpX cam is better
Send from my OnePlus X
What I found is that in low light conditions my OPX takes forever to take a photo. I tap to focus and then the shutter but I takes a lot of time to focus again before actually take the photo. Is that the same on the moto g and on your OPX? I run Mokee ROK btw but it was same on Oxygen OS I think.

Moto g3 is quite snappy in taking pic in low light that's why I was unhappy with the camera experience after spending more bucks.
Pics taken with opx are grainy as hell and videos (oml!!) , they are soo laggy at 10 or 15fps!
In low light: moto g 2015 >>> opx
Hope they will solve this issue in the January ota update.
Hit thanks if I helped please☺
Check my post with panaramas shots from OPX. 4 me its great!

Daylight pictures are indeed very great and bright with an amazing detail. It's just the low light images I'm concerned about. Despite having the isocell sensor renowned for it's low light imaging, I can't see much difference between opx and my moto e?
Hit thanks if I helped please☺

Photos made with front camera

Hello guys.
I'm thinking about this phone.
Everything is excellent, but still im concerned about camera(front facing/selfie)
So, would anybody share his/her selfie with me?
And... what phone wins: Zenfone 2 or OnePlus X in matter of selfie?
here a selfie on a movie set. it was quite dark in the room. no daylight and some smoke maybe.

the built-in camero of OOS. For me it's good enough.
Acc to me front camera is betrer than most of the phones
I believe ,my friends, and all who have seen my phone,
Says tht its front camera is second to none.
To be honest i feel the front cameea to be the best of all the phones i have seen.
Oos camera is pretty good with face beauty and it works perfectly.
Normal images are clear to .
And if u want to buy this phone becoz of the camera ,then i shall remind u . it give perfect shot for selfies!! ??
I've seen people complaining that this front camera gave too much distortion comparing to other device. Honesty, I don't have comparison point and I don't use it....

Soldering Moto G camera into Moto E, would it be possible?

Just wondering, would it be possible to change the moto E camera? I just cry everytime it can't focus a text or something small
No, it's completely because of hardware and even Good processing can't Improve picture quality

In theory yes.
Once i asked about this
The focus controller is on the PCB I guess, so focus will still won't work with Moto E.

Low light images should be better on Z2 play due to aperture also it supports 60fps
From what I can discern those photos look pretty much the same and based on published phone reviews really no improvement to camera despite marketing as such.

I posted in another thread, it is an improvement but not worth it for the retail price of the phone currently.
"Spec wise the Z2 Play camera is better, no argument about it. "f2.0 and 1.3um pixel size" -vs- the new "f1.7 and 1.4um w/ phase detection and laser focus". By definition the Z2 Play camera lets in more light which mean it will take better low light photos.
Problem with with Z Play camera is over exposure in light area. It's easy to be fooled that the Z Play take better low light photos because of this over exposure effect, but this cause lost of dynamic and details. Z2 photos have more dynamic and sharper. There are some color temperature issue with the Z2 Play sample photos that make all of them purplish, it could be a software/post processing issue that hopefully get fixed, or something wrong with their device. I would say aside from the purple issue, every Z2 Play photos are sharper with better contrast."
I'm going to be brave and say this is the first Moto camera that doesn't suck. The mzp was just another bad one in a long line of ones I've had. Here is a fairly low light shot with motion. Yes there is motion blur in most of it but the left side with less motion is clear. Still not as good as a Sony sensor equipped LG phone but at least everything doesn't fall apart.

A night indoor shot. Basically other Moto cameras would be grainy and or blurred.

Moto Z Force 2016 while not quite at the top definitely does not suck and with the NX camera app can do some good things in low light also.
I wonder if they put the force camera in the Z2 play. Even in low light it is pretty good.
