Unbelievably fast. Double tap to open camera when it's sleeping, and it's almost instant.

3.2.1 seems to have slowed the camera down a bit. Anyone else notice that the capture time has gone up?

ya bit for capture time, for start up i haven't use it much when i was on 3.1.3

Simply fast.

Very fast !

Circle gesture to turn on. 'Nuff said..

This is the fastest camera to launch I think I've ever seen in person. I mean, it's not quite dSLR power on and shoot fast ... but ... damn. Between the circle gesture, double tap power button, and double tap fingerprint sensor to launch, this thing is ready to rock faster than you can get it out of your pocket. Very impressive. And it takes a pretty good photo too! Yes, there ARE better cameras out there in phones - but not at this price.

With the circle gesture on the screen in standby mode, this is the fastest camera launch on a smartphone. Never miss a moment again due to late camera start. Superb!

Camera speed
Well, I've had my S7E for 24 hours now and have to say it's real fast to open the Camera up, to focus and snap a photo.
I'm comparing along side my G4 which I also own.
It's definitely quicker.

It helps that there's a double-click home button to launch the camera app.
Which the home button also powers on the screen.
And it also reads your fringerprint and unlocks the device.
So you can go from device-off to taking an in-focus picture in literally 1 second (or less).
Maybe not quite that fast for me, but pretty dam near.
Double click sure helps.

You can double-click from screen-off and it'll register everything.
Though, YMMV if the camera app is already in RAM. That can introduce a very slight delay.
home + home + volume up
done.
100% no comment - it just work super fast
AI focus point not as good as iPhone but still one of the best in Android world.
S7 8.0 oreo exynos
Camera opens up pretty quickly, not as fast as other phones on the market but still good. I love the double tap home button to open camera feature! It really is handy.

In low light (when the flash is needed) the camera takes too long to take the picture, around 10-12 seconds. In daylight or good light conditions, the camera Works as expected, no more than 2 seconds to take the picture. Does anyone have this issue?

hmm... that's taking too long with flash in low light... but anyways, you must have steady hands and be patient for the best of pic quality...

What's so bad about the camera - here are a few photos

Here are a few photos I've taken over the past several days. One tip is that if you tap on the screen on the area you want to expose properly the lighting will adjust for that area and you will get a better exposure than without tapping. Same goes for the selfie camera - if the view on the screen looks over exposed tap on that area to get the proper exposure - you'll have about 5-8 seconds to hit the shutter afterwards. Good luck, Tom

Thx for photos
Im planing to buy LH V30 but the problem is im so scary to buy it because sometimes I think camera is very bad. 1,6F is good but 1um pixel size is very bad. And LG don't invest so much in LG camera application. You can see the problems​ like slow motion low bitrate - bad quality. And EIS is very bad. LG is big company but they still don't do things on write way. Like OnePlus 5 have just EIS and it is like Google Pixel phone, fantastic stability on every video. Why LH didn't do this? Why they put 1um pixel size camera? And etc...
But still I like this phone so much it is like All in One. I will see in near future what to do
P. S.
Coming from OP5, I would like to sell it and buy LG V30. The OP5 have very bad camera at low light and night.
And when I go to rooms where is very low light or like no light at all like sometimes in discotheque and I took photo with OP5 with flash ON the photo is still very, very BAD, so much noise and photo is not clean and small​ details. And when my friend with Samsung S7 or S8 took photo in the same place, then is different story. The photo is very beautiful, clean and no noises, so much details and very, very good like DSLR. The flash on S7 and S8 is very good.
Can you (or someone) please take few photo in low light and total night with LG V30 and Note 8 (or Samsung S7,S8), to compare photos. This will help me a lot. It will be good to potograph some person in the very dark and in bad light with flash ON.
Thx you a lot!

Better focus too so sharper in low light as well. This i have noticed on my v20
The g4 wasn't like this, pretty much aim and fire and focus was always good. Strange there still is a IR focus assist so it shouldn't be necessary
Not fast shooters but i'm ok with that. If i need speed i know what to do in manual

To be honest, for me is SLOW.
It is not slow opening Camera app, but it is slow processing taken photo. With my previous Galaxy S7 I could take several photos in few seconds (not maintaining button...that is not what i am looking for). With S10, It takes more time to process previous photo and take new one

I would suggest turning off scene optimizer from the camera settings. That helped with the wait in between shots for me

I did that but no way.
My sister has taken some photos with my s10 right now and she has just told me that it's very slow comparing with her s7....
Pretty slow... Especially if you open the camera and try to take several pictures right away. Or else if you open it and try changing cameras to snap a few pics. Cycling through camera modes is also painful.

Make sure your photos are going to internal memory vs external as that's faster.

Yes, you are right, saving to internal storage is faster then to external, but it should not be so. In my old s7 I have for saving photos external storage (ordinary san disk 64 GB). And s7 is faster in this case as s10+. I was and still Iam surprise, because s7 is 3 years old device. Shame...
I also notice (before note 10 camera update, at this time I dont have s7 anymore) that some pictures was better taken with s7. For me is camera on s10 disappointing. I expected more.

Note 10+ camera - smeared looking photos

Is anyone having camera issues?
For whatever reason, when I try to take a photo of my dog, the face looks smeared. Roughly 80-90% of the time. While on my iphone it looks great...I'm kinda bummed out about this and wondering if this is either an issue with my unit, or if this is a common thing with Samsung.
Also, just for some more info, I've tried turning on/off hdr, scene optimizer, and whenever I am ready to take a picture, it looks stunning. Then I hit the shutter button, and it turns out like poop. Barely half the quality of what it looked like before I hit the shutter button.
Here are two pics to compare so you can see what I mean. If anyone has any info regarding this please let me know, thanks.

I have always seen this happen on Samsung phones (S8, S9, and S10) when taking pictures in certain lighting situations. Especially inside when taking pictures of a rug or anything slightly fluffy. It is as if it is trying to apply the beauty mode to everything.
Try to get the AF to lock on to the animal's eyes.
A good pro cam can most times; it's a small but high contrast target.
-If you don't grab the eye(s) you lose the shot-
I haven't done any research how this cam's AF works; normally you would point focus AF although it may still target the hair as it's a high contrast target too.
There are a lot of high contrast targets in this shot, the dog's nose, that chair, the dog's hair and the floor boards. Try to limit potential AF targets by keeping the composure simpler and less cluttered with high contrast targets if you intend on capturing a face with the eyes in focus.
Getting closer to the subject makes an AF lock on the eye more likely. Try punching up the yellow focus/tracking square.
Worse with this cam's large aperture it makes for a shallow DOF which means a spot on focus is needed. The aperture setting is fixed so you can't stop it down to something reasonable like f/5.6 however this cam is sharpest at it's fixed aperture. Backing up therefore may help get more of the subject in focus. You need to learn to see through the camera's eye, as it sees rather than your eyes.
It is much more limited than the superb human visual system...
Manual focus is sometimes the only sure fire way to do it. In the pro mode it does have manual focus but lacks the smooth ring control of a good piece of glass found on stand alone cam systems.
A trade off... it's only a smartphone.
First, nice looking dog.
A couple of questions.
What were the lighting conditions?
Was your dog moving?

Samsung applies way to much noise reduction destroying the details of a photo. This is why it appears like that. Also, there's nasty shutter lag with the stock cam...so you press the shutter to take the pic but it doesn't happen right away simply because hdr is always on no matter if you have the switch off or not. Basically Samsung have rendered there stock camera useless. Get the latest GCam port from arnova....all problems solved.
