Pathetic photo quality with flash ON - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have recently got Note 2. Though everything is working fine, photos with flash mode are coming terrible. Light is spread out in the photo and is not at all the one you want to keep. I used to have HTC sensation and never had issues with flash photos. Am I missing something in the camera configuration? I am using all default settings and the phone is using stock ROM.

You're not missing anything. The flash is indeed crap. I've said it many times before.

Mine is average at best, but not pathetic. Same as the SGS1/2/3. I can live with it.

Not the best, but for the most part flash works ok...I am not a fan of 'flash photography' anyway.

I can't complain too.

I think the problem is the same as note 1 that I have. The camera is too near the edge so when using the flash be carefull with your left hand. Even if it doesn't show in the picture it can reflect the flash and flood your photo with light.

@washin21 - I think this could be the problem as I was seeing some shadow. I clicked few shots with keeping figures away and the shots came OK. This is still not the best which I would expect from such a high end device. Normal day shots are nice.

Im with you on this. I had a Sensation XE earlier, and that had a much better camera. Pics were clear, less grainy and the flash was jus brilliant. I tried Camera Zoom Fx, it seems to be better than the stock cam.

Camera speed

Is the camera shutter speed really the bees knees? I've seen YouTube videos and it looks fast. I have a two year old and they move fast. I need to know if it really snaps fast pics. Zero lag?

If it doesn't have to autofocus or use flash then its instantaneous.

Yes. The thing that takes the most time is the autfocus. If you turn that off you really can click it as fast as the touchscreen will let you.

But if it does have to autofocus and/or flash, its still fast?
My point is it seems as fast as any other smartphone camera on the market? Same as s3 or the One series from HTC?

It's still pretty fast in my case
S3 & One X both have instantaneous camera speeds like the GNex.

So Page Buddy works with custom launchers like Nova? I thought Page Buddy was part of the Touch Wiz launcher.
As long as touch wiz frame work is there it works. I am not sure custom roms would work. I tried it and played w the s pen before I replied to the previous question.

Doesn't the Galaxy S III use the exact same sensor as the GN2? Should be able to look at plenty examples from that.

Slow-mo fuzzy low res image

Has anyone tried the slow motion yet? I've taken several videos, at night, indoors and outside in bright day light and they all look very very terrible. They look as if they were taken in 480p scaled up. Actually they look like a crappy GIF animation.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing or is it just a problem on my end.
I'll upload a video if anyone wants to see.
Nexus ONE
Yep same here on ATT note 3. Defeates the whole purpose and makes it unusable.
I have the same problem.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
The video says it's 720p but it looks really terrible. I hope it's a software issue that gets resolved in an update.

Yep I have the same issue, very disappointing indeed.

Oh no! This is one feature that made me want this phone rather than an iPhone. Crap, I hope Samsung will fix this soon.
How do you access slow mo video ?

Judging by the sample videos posted on YouTube, this is a widespread problem. Even the commenters there noticed how pixelated and fuzzy the image is.
Cmon Samsung... this is one THE best feature that people are looking for, yet you fail so bad.
This stopped me from purchasing the Note 3. With the locked bootloader, no hide application features and now this...
The one on the HTC one S has been the best slow mo cam I've used. Not even the iPhone was compares. I still can't figure out how to use it on the note.

Problem with depositing checks with camera

For the last 2 years, I have used online banking to deposit checks via photo. Never a problem with my Nexus, my S3, my wife's iPhone, but for some stupid reason, I can't deposit checks with this phone. It keeps saying, please make sure picture is in focus and within the lines. I have tried in all kinds of light, including light that is designed for taking pictures w/out shadows.
It's sad and somewhat embarrassing when I have to borrow my wifes iPhone to deposit checks.

If you don't like my topic, please don't post on it. I mean that respectfully.
Maybe you don't see all the gripes because you don't take the type of pics others do.

I deposit to USAA with ease. No issues here.
Seems like an app issue to me.
I had issues with the Chase app and my one and found if I took a picture of the check with my phone sideways, with the check [_____] in front of the sideways HTC one also (____) I would get an error in the app. I then put the check vertical and my phone vertical and had no issues. Try that and see if it helps. Seems silly enough but worked for me.

Guys. I had issue with the thread as well but this is really getting immature. Name calling isn't going to solve anything. The op feels the way he feels. My statement against him was stating his experience as the only one which has since been proven wrong, but this stuff isn't conducive to the conversation.

I use the BofA app and it works fine for me. The preview picture is stretched out though. Otherwise, no problems. Oh, I'm using the VanirAOSP.

Wow those pictures look amazing. I love this phone. Such a great camera!
Took those yesterday. Quite impressed with the camera. But they all get compressed when being uploaded.on the phone they are even more crisp. For me it's the best camera in a smartphone I have ever used.
Edit. No idea why they have been turned around for 90 degree [emoji20]
A pic in fairly low light from my workplace. Pretty happy with the result. Better than my G2 would have managed!
