[Q] Instagram camera and cropped photos - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife has a Note 2 and she's addicted to Instagram
But she is having a problem like since forever.
She uses the Instagram built in camera (since it catches what she wants), but she points the camera to an object for example and when she takes the picture it comes out cropped below. In other words, what she previews in the camera doesn't get photographed. There is a side (smaller cut) and bottom (larger cut) offset from what she sees and what she gets in the final picture.
Any help?
Can someone test this? Thanks!

Anyone to test this, please?

Bump:crying:

AFAIK , Instagram camera works that way . There's nothing that can be done for the moment .
However , I often use this method
Capture an image
Use Photo Grid to resize it ( It will automatically resize the entire image so that it can fit into Instagram )
Hope it'll helps

It only does this in Note 2. I have LG G3 and image is not cropped. Neither my previous phones.
Thanks for you answer!

Pictures and Camera improvements.

Well i had a play with my uncle's iPhone along side my THD and the bigest issues was how unresponsive the THD was at the Picture scrolling and Camera response.
Has anyone tried/started to fix the camera Application and HTC Album?? there is a second wait between pictures on scrolling and about 5 seconds on taking a photo.
I'm almost afraid someone will have to do a total rewrite of the phone app to get it to a normal response time from pressing the button to taking a shot. It's rediculous as it is now; the cam is totally worthless for taking anything but still shots of non-moving things like buildings; taking shots of people right now is just ...worthless.
Which sucks
We did 2 shots and a slight movement blurs. the iPhone doesn't but you clearly can see the camera is better quality on the HD.... as to the picture viewer is there anything that can replace it???
picture viewer: well, there's xnview, but I have to say that Album works better, IMO...as long as you realise you zoom in by drawing different size clockwise circles on the pic, zoom out by drawing different sized counter-clockwise circles and pan by touch-and-holding the screen.

Anyone experienced with the camera?

What are the best settings to make a photo of a close object?
For example I want to make a picture of my eye close-up but it always turns out blurry, what should I set the settings like?
Hello, i also tested some "macro" photos.
First make sure you are on "macro" mode.
You should have a flower on the left bottom of the screen.
Then, don't put your "target" too near of the phone lense.
There is a limit distance.
I think almost 5 or 6 centimeters ( 2 inches i think ) is the best you can achieve.
Nearer, the phone just won't make the focus and the image will stay blurry ...
Make sure you get the higher resolution, use 4:3 size, and crop the image after.
And do not use the zoom function or the flash !!! Use external light ...
The only "big" problem is to get the focus at short distance ...
And the fact there are no physical button to shoot is another problem
if you want to take your own eye ... other apps can make it simplier ( ShotControl for example ... ).

I have found this Macro feature on Vignette but I am absolutely lost on the stock Camera application on Sense.

Macro shooting can be found pressing the 'A' on the top left corner of the camera interface (portrait mode).
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
It's bottom left on mine ... ( Edit : Sorry it's in landscape mode ... ).
By default it's on A (Auto).

[Q] Why does the FFC preview look better than the picture?

I feel this has always been a problem on my Sprint Galaxy S3 and I am finally getting around to trying to figure it out. The preview looks very crisp but when I actually take picture it becomes faded and bit blurry.
I know it's not motion from the tapping the button because it remains clear if I take a screenshot of the preview which is more shaky than just pressing the screen.
I took a picture and a screenshot of the picture to show what I am talking about:
Preview / Captured image (click images for larger variants)
In the preview you can clearly see the texture of my shirt and the freckles on my face while on the captured image it is just a solid blur.
I asked this question on the Android Stack Exchange too but no one seems to know there so I thought I'd try here.
I am running completely Stock 4.3

Panorama Photo Modes

I bought my Note 7 on August 19, the release day in the U.S. With that phone I was able to take panoramic photos and upload them to Facebook, where the viewer could pan through them from side to side using the mouse.
Since that phone was recalled, my new Note 7 unit works differently. My panoramic photos are still noted as panoramic on the phone, but when I upload one to FB, it displays all at once, thin top-to-bottom and the entire width showing. Viewers cannot pan through them using the mouse.
Viewing the pictures on the phone with the Gallery, the original panoramic photos display the globe icon on them, meaning that they are panoramas. But panoramas taken with my new phone don't display the globe symbol (in gallery mode), though they do display a panorama symbol when the photo is viewed in single-picture mode.
I seem to remember there being two panorama-type photo modes on my original phone: one that let me pan left to right (as I can now with the new unit), and one that let me pan left, right, up, and down. This new unit doesn't offer a mode that lets me pan in all four directions; that photo mode seems to be missing.
I don't recall if I used that missing mode to capture the original panoramas or not, however.
Can anyone confirm what I remember about the missing panorama mode? Does anyone with a new unit have both modes?
Could you have been using Surround Shot?
Surround Shot, that was it! Big thanks.

Camera / Instagram / Zoom ??

Hey all! I tried Googling a little but couldn't find any results.
Q: When I take a photo with my S8+ on Instagram, in particular the selfie camera, the photo is zoomed in compared to the preview photo. So I have to hold the phone further away to get the full frame that I want.
What's causing this, how can I fix it?
Insta is probably cropping your photo to make it square. Use an app like instasquare to make borders around your picture
