Hi! Is anyone have the same. After all last stock updates I start having problems with to much playing focus while making pictures with stock app camera. And many pictures in more hard situation ( low light, to many objects etc) out of focus. Before, was all ok. Now focus playing to much and to long.
Here my system
same on my phone

Hello,
I've been doing some digging around and it seems this may be related to the JPEG compression, but how can this be removed? All the "mods" i've came across are discontinued. Please explain.
Anyways, if my camera moves the slightest while taking a picture, it becomes blurry. Videos seem fine, but pictures almost always appear blurry.
Thanks for your help. :highfive:

If the images are blurry only when phone is shaken then it has nothing to do with JPEG compression. AFAIK One X doesn't have optical image stabilization, it has a digital IS mode for video, but not sure if there is anything for still photos. There is nothing much you can do other than hold the phone still and try to shoot under well lit conditions (to reduce shutter time).
Are you using an AOSP custom ROM (i.e CM10, AOKP etc.) ?
Also, with the stock camera app, hold down the shoot button and it'll take a few photos in quick succession and allow you to choose the best one
There is another thread on focusing issue, but I don't know if we are talking the same thing since the OP set the focus to infinity, not auto.
Z1 Compact camera loses focus easily in dark/bright situations. Not only in video mode but in photo mode too, obviously. It happens all the time, even on far objects. Here I demonstrate with screen of another phone because it is a very good dark/bright object with a great contrast.
I've tested on stock, CM and Slim camera apps. This video is taken on Slim camera.
Do you have the same problem?
No one noticing this issue, or does no one care? I don't either since I mostly use camera to take photos..

Hello everyone,
I recently bought an M8 and I'm loving it so far, except for the camera.
I'm not running the stock M8 rom but the S.Team-JW-7.5.0 rom (HTC 10 to M8 port), so am I missing Duo camera features or something?
Do you guys have any tips or tricks to get better camera results? Both for video and photo.
I know the camera on the back is 4MP but maybe there are ways to get better pictures and video.
Thanks in advance.
This may help
Duo camera works fine on SROM. But Duo doesn't make the photos "better", it just enables the Duo effects like Ufocus, or Dimension Plus.
Hard to know what you mean by "better" unless you can be more specific. What exactly don't you like about the pics you've taken so far? Are they blurry, colors look off, too much glare, etc.?
Number of MP has little to do with image quality, especially if you are currently judging the images on the phone's screen (although cropping the pics, or looking at the pics on a monitor is a different story).
While more recent phones make it easier to take a good photo, very decent pics are quite possible on the M8. A lot can be done with technique. Despite what many folks would like to believe, a lot of photography is dependent on practice and technique, rather than hardware. A few tips:
1) Manually focus on a point (your subject) by tapping on the screen, and then press the capture button. Same goes with video. The video recording often has a tough time focusing on the subject automatically, so its often a good idea to force the focus first, then start recording.
2) Exposure (amount of light) will often change drastically, depending on the point of focus. So again, experiment by tapping on the screen, and you will see the image get lighter or darker.
3) This camera has a tough time with glare (washes out the whole frame), especially sunlight through a window, outdoors in the suns direction, etc. Changing your position, and what way the camera is facing can often (although not always) solve the problem, or at least improve it.
4) Tap on the camera settings, and see if manually forcing any of the parameters results in pics more to your liking. Although to be honest, I use the auto settings 99% of the time. But you can often get better results in certain situations (such as low light or night photos) by manually tweaking the settings. In particular, adjusting the exposure (EV) or saturation ("gear" icon>Image adjustments) may yield results more to your preference, if you find those default settings are not to your liking.
I bought the G3 about a year ago for its praised photo quality. Since then I experimented with different ROMs, from Stock to Limitless and now Fulmics. With all ROMs, many of my pictures are blurry. It happens almost always with moving objects (even of very slow speeds), but occasionally with still objects too. I have noticed that turning on the HDR function makes a huge difference on capturing speed and image quality, but it heavily depends on the environment (meaning that I have to take a photo, turn HDR on or off and retake the photo). Is anybody else experiencing the same issues? Is my camera broken or is it a software issue?
HDR will need more time to take a picture so you need a still shot. Does that issue occur on stock rom as well?
I noticed the lag when HDR is on, but the pictures are blurry with HDR in on, off or auto setting. I did use the stock image quite some time ago. I believe that the overall quality was the same as Fulmics/Limitless, which should not be surprising, because they are both built from stock and use the same proprietary camera driver (is this correct?).
I remember that the image quality of AOSP was terrible, because it cannot take advantage of the device specific features such as the laser focus (please correct me if this is wrong).
Hello.
I have a frustrating problem with my asus zenfone 5z 8/256gb version.
Camera performs well in good light condition, but when it comes to take photo in low light for example in home with bulb light or when sun comes down i got problem.
Cuz camera preview looks like have 5-10fps? And talking a photo takes a while I mean click on button and i have to wait couple of sec without any movement otherwise i will get so blured photo..
Also I have a second problem in low light i getting strange white/color lines, something like flickering...
I make post on official asus zentalk, but they said "Under normal light source brightness, the camera preview frame rate speed is 30fps; in low light environment, it will be reduced to 8fps, increasing the exposure time and increasing the brightness of the preview, so the preview may result in afterimage, which is the design behavior." - And its funny for me, because for example Pocofone F1 with same sony sensor don't have that problem.
Now i don't know, is that issue with asus software or it's issue with camera hardware and I have to go with phone to service?
Well if it's software issue, any of custom rom fix that?
There is few photos/videos:

What's wrong with this phone.. ?
Thank you for any help!
I have the same issue both with the low quality laggy viewfinder in camera apps (like Snapchat) and the flickering screen / vertical lines in low light. Focusing is also not as reliable in low light.
My main camera's focusing is defective and doesn't work anymore. I am attempting to get it replaced under warranty (I hope they ignore the unlocked bootloader, if not then there are replacement camera modules on eBay).
I don't think a camera replacement would help the laggy viewfinder in camera apps, but I will report back if the flickering/lines is improved in any way.
Same to my phone 5z. Video quality not good 8n low light condition. The slow motion video in low light also terrible
Just got my phone back from Asus with a replacement rear camera.
So far, the vertical lines and flickering have not improved. Focusing and taking videos (in the Camera app and in social media apps) still have a lot of flickering and lines.
Although, I did notice that Snapchat has much improved video recording. Not sure if it was the camera replacement, or the update to Android 10, but the viewfinder in Snapchat has minimal lag and takes much better videos than before.
Edit:
I can confirm MUCH better camera quality/smoothness in 3rd party apps (specifically Snapchat and Instagram) on the official Android 10 update. My snaps are very smooth and locked to 60fps, even in the dark (although the images/videos in general come out a little darker).
Some of the custom Android 10 based roms I tried (which are currently based on the Pie vendor) have significantly worse camera image/video in 3rd party apps.
Same problem here. That's very annoying because sometimes I'm recording in good light condition but background have some dark places then the lines are constant flickering in that part. This is ridiculous bad software problem.
