Normal camera works fine
Anyone knows why?

The super slow motion is capped at a max resolution of 720p. It requires alot of processing resources so the imagem quality has to be downgraded in order to record 960 frames in such a short amount of time

Actually it doesn't require a lot of processing resources, just like ARemoji, they just skimped out and gave room for improvement on the Note 9, and or the S10 or whatever they call it.
This is such a lazy reply that i had to stop working, just to reply.... super slow motion as you call it, is just under developed, and wasnt given the time and attention on this phone, much like the lazy front camera which is not even upgraded or new in any meaningful way.

So... Why are you here?

Slow motion is very good. But OP is correct that the quality is very poor. I think this is because the screen resolution is so high that on playback it's just blocky.

What I don't understand is how the videos that are rolling on youtube and the presentation itself was great! The one I shot at home is not acceptable at all.

Anything above 120 Frames per second needs a lot of lighting, and might also flicker with slow lights (like indoor lighting)
It's always best to use sunlight for slow motion like 960 Fps, to get the best shots try filming with lots of sunlight outdoor, the more light the cleaner and better the shots will be.

Well Sunday mothers day in here (UK) will be trying it outdoors and hopefully will be sunny!

I agree. The quality of super slo mo is more like a 240p video! Totally unusable indoors but expected better outdoors in the sun light. The promo videos were fantastic but this is such a disappointment

Just to update everyone, I have tried in very bright sunny conditions and it is fine and acceptable. Yes it could be improved but that's more of a limitation by the technology rather than something Samsung is in control of.

I have done some super slow mo indoor and outdoor....To get good results you need a lot of light. If you don't have additional light when indoors, the quality is average to poor....Outdoor with natural sun light is more then acceptable and high above average. Have tried it on a cloudy day and the quality was just above average

Also samsung probably added noise reduction in Post to the clips used in the ads (to make it look cleaner)

You need perfect lighting situations, it is 720 after all. If the subject you're recording is "close" to the phone it doesn't look AS bad

Camera sucks

Is it just me, or for the rating of (3.2?) the camera on this phone is terrible. Has such bad low light performance as well. Wouldn't surprise me to find that the 3.2 figure was achieved by interpolation rather than optical rating.
Any idea why it's so bad?
3.2 Mega Pixel is indeed the resolution for the camera, low light shooting is problematic with any phone camera regardless of the brand, if you want to take good pictures in low light setting you need a very good DSLR camera with iso 1600 upwards.

the camera is cheap because the phone is cheap with a 5.o mpx it will cost as much as a touch hd, but is a phone camera so it will work for quick pics not for lanscapes and sundowns
Crappy cameraaaaaaaaa
Get a decent digiatal camera to do your job right. Only case i''ll be forced to use it is maybe a car hit on the road just to prove facts . But then again i always carry my small camera with me so not even then hahaha
Funny that my k800i was able to provide much better pictures, not brilliant but far superior and acceptable quality for quick snaps. The tg01 quality is terrible, and gotta admit even in good light it's pretty bad. Even getting it without being blurred can be a problem sometimes.
I personally think either some compression is being used unncessarily behind the scenes or just the camera application sucks, well to be honest the app does suck, you can't even zoom (as far as I can tell), or change the amount of exposure. Changing the exposure is a basic feature.
For a while I was ironically carrying around the phone I used to own just to take pics with, I can't even take pics of car parts without thinking the quality is naff.
I realy regret passing my old omnia to my wife , it took great pictures for a camera phone and it also had exp+-, wb, iso setting eek and a bright very powerful and very usefull led light! Great phone allaround.
Camera sucks? Any phone camera (with it's small plastic lens) can take better pictures than the cheapest of the real compact cameras with true compound coated lenses...
I think that camera works quite well to use to take pictures of interesting items in a shop, books, compact disc, and the macro works really well.
Any photo camera under bad light conditions can't take good pictures.
On the other hand if you mean that the photo software is too basic, I agree. No white balance, exposure control, and so on. It would e great finding a camera software better for our TG01.
Hmm.. perhaps my complaint is really surrounding the software rather than the camera itself, although I still think the quality of pictures leaves much to be desired.

Videos thread!

Post any videos you've made with the phone! i'm currently working on some..i tend to do guitar videos on my youtube.
sadly, i'm not a fan of the G2 video camera.. it seems like it doesn't look as HD as it should to me. i just did a guitar video in my room..yes it's dark out, but i had my ceiling light and another lamp on, but even then everything looked really soft and blurry and nothing focused well..on top of the fact that anything white is completely overblown so you have to drop the exposure down like crazy. all in all, i'd say the GS4 recorded better videos.
especially bc the G2 does that constant focusing crap that the rezound did..where it's like, pulsating for some reason. weird.
post your videos!
here's the videos i did..i'm not happy with them whatsoever. the audio is bad, the constant focusing is terrible.
used audio focus on this..absolutley no difference lol i focused it on the amp, but yeah, i don't see any difference.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0SvRXoumHQ&feature=youtu.be
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVDibA2u-7M&feature=youtu.be
this one sounds worse with more garbling..also, i did this one at 60fps, but youtube won't show it obv
tip for 60fps: the FPS drops really low when in low light situations..so don't expect 60fps in low light! you have to be in ample lighting for it to work correctly!

Redmi Note 3 Camera Quality

Hi,
A camera is a very important factor for me when buying a phone,
I bought my Redmi Note 3 after reading some underwhelming reviews about the camera, thinking "oh well, how bad can the rear camera be?" - well, the camera is really under performing, very soft images, noticeable noise in almost every scenario, very disappointing.
My question is that,
Is it really a hardware issue, or just poor camera algorithms coding?
if the former, I will just look for another phone and sell mine,
otherwise, I will (try to) wait patiently until the appropriate software update will come
Thanks

Camera is nothing but decent , specially at natural light conditions.it seems great at night condition without flash due to low aperture.miui 8 greatly improved my camera experience.i found alomost zero noise in night shots. Enough for a $200 phone
I think it takes good pictures but I found that any kind of motion will blur the picture (even just walking and snapping a pic), so motion sucks, try taking a picture of a moving dog it will just be a blur, low light also sucks, but if you take still pictures under good lighting pictures look great, I think there is a soft spot for this camera it's just hard to find, also lowering the resolution to 12MP will take 16:9 widescreen photos rather then 4:3 photos in 16MP mode
Part of the problem is it never wants to increase the shutter speed properly in order to keep iso low. It tends to take most pictures at 1/25th or so, which is great for static but not for moving objects where you need a faster shutter speed to freeze motion.

low light shots are average.
daytime shots are great.
did you tweak the default settings?
which ROM are you on?....try to be on latest MM dev or china rom
also try using open camera.
at this price range, show me a phone which gives better images?
I tried all the tweaks available including using Open Camera, nothing really helped.
I ended up selling it and buying an Mi4C - the difference in photo quality is unbelievable (at a price of around 90$ new)
Had 7 different smart phones this year, and Redmi Note's camera was the weakest among them, for me it's very noticeable.

Video quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the LG G6 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I did a few sample videos with the different quality settings and WOAH!!! Especially the videos at 60fps with adequate light from a lamp. When a lot of light it's even smoother when I figured it could not be smoother. Nothing like it. Heck, video of hands looks better than real life and you could see every piece of detail in the skin easily. But I am a photographer so am good with taking photos and have very still hands, so others experience might be a bit different from mine.
Looked great in a well-lit environment as stated above. Had a lot of noise in a darker environment, but not so much as to render it unusable. Someone that does a better job of holding the camera steady and framing the video might have a better result though.
Anyone tried the audio/video quality in loud environments such as discos, festivals , concerts ...?
Very interesting in this feature .
Thanks in advance

Here is a link to a song I recorded at a Ghost/Iron Maiden song. I forgot to put it on concert mode and left it on normal . Here is a link to a video I recorded later in the show as well, still processing so I don't think YouTube will have it in HAD for a while .

Here is the night video, I think I remembered to switch to 4k.
Very poor audio quality

good video
Is it just me or is the video quality really bad? Full HD videos are not sharp/crisp at all and there's a slight painted/blurry look to frames, even in moderately good sunny conditions.
This is more apparent with the wide angle lens but the normal lens has this too. I tried shooting with the GCam app and the normal lens video is worse than the stock app. Video Stabilisation is on. 4k videos are pretty sharp but Full HD is my preferred choice.
Anyone know any settings that could be changed to fix this?
Ok guys, this is my try. First and last part of video is recorded with LG G6, 1080p 60fps on DJI Osmo Mobile. It's not bad at all. Sharpness and crispness is better on 1080p 30fps but I needed slowmo. In manual mode you have much more control but it's OK even in auto mode. What do You think?

Fun Tip - Add motion blur to the parts where you increased the footage speed to sync up with the music. Will literally make it look 2x better.

Thanks for the tip Gagan. This is my first video in Premiere, after only 30min of tutorials. I'll try that in my next video. Cheers.
Reading posts i must ask, am i the only one who thinks that the quality of video taken with lg g6 camera is terrible and unacceptable, 1080p looks like upscale from 480p and is very overprocessed? i wrote about it to lg and they replied that everything is fine, can't believe it! 1080p video from my old lg g3 was great, g6 sucks more then anything that has ever suck before. is there any way to change it and turn current '1080p' on g6 into real 1080p?

I quickly shot this and edited it on my Note 10 Plus this morning while at this event w/ the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. I have to say for shooting on a cell phone I'm impressed as all hell.

Hello,
Very nice shots, smooth. What were your settings?
I personnally did not find the super-steady sharp enough, like if my exynos had a hard time interpolating the frames. Super steady has some kind of grains or pixels things like grain fog that i do not like much.
I prefer by far the use of optical stabilization only, HD 30p or even better with HD 60p.
Be able to go directly from ultra wide to wide, or to zoom, is so nice.
I barely use UHD.

I should have paid attention to my settings at that time. I do like UHD 60FPS more than the non 60FPS as you get a lot less ghosting while panning shots.
Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you though for that shot as I was in the middle of that event, just did some shots and threw that together while sitting down for 2 minutes. If I waited to do it at home later that day I'm sure I would have done a better job on the audio levels and a few cuts.

No pb, thanks for the answear. I feel same about 60p vs 30p ; i'd rather have less ghosting and smoother shooting than stabilization ; that's why i like HD 60p, best of both world when hand held:good:
It is so easy to make a film with a few rushes just on the note10+, i love that editing feature especially with s-pen.
This was shot tonight at an event and I just quickly edited it on my Note 10 Plus 5G while in my car.
Nice, this low light sample is very nice, sharp.
Hello,
Just found out that "adobe RU for samsung" has a video recording feature, with manual settings.
Manual focus seems buggy to me, but the lock exposure is very nice.
Rush are added to gallery, i think there is no need to subscribe with monthly fee.
