Hello all,
I would like it if some people could share pictures from the front-camera, particularly in low-light (it does not have to be a selfie ). This is because I am worried about the performance of my front camera because even though it says it is ISO 320 in the EXIF, the quality looks to be smudgy and really soft (even though I turned off the soft skin and stabilizer setting in Manual mode).
I know that its only 2MP but still, the quality of it in low-light as compared to good light is really significant. So I would like to confirm if this is just me or also the others..
Btw, I have a Clear Screen Protector so I'm not sure if that might also be contributing..
Thanks!!

You are not incorrect. The front camera, even worse than the back one, suffers from noise, grain, oversharpening artifacts, blurring, and washed out colors.

Hm, bummer. I wonder if its software again or if its just the nature of front facing cameras? Weird thing is front facing video seems to be alright..
Thanks man!
I noticed this on front facing camera, my gf has z1 I have s3 and mine wins hands down

Hey there,
Just wondering, does anyone else find the photos on the 2X really milky and overly bright?
Take a look here at some I took this weekend...

Compared to some photos I took a couple of weeks ago with my Desire HD..
I would have thought the 8MP on the LG would kill the Desire HD but now looking at it, I'm not so sure...?
It's said like a thousand times before but i'll say it again. There is a problem with the auto white balance, if you do it by hand the photo's will be much better .
WB how you do it by hand? I can only select automatic presets that are not very good.
Anyway, the best improvment in quality photo for my lg optimus was by reducing exposure by 1 or 2 clicks on the +/- icon
Take a look at the camera mod in the dev section to improve your camera quality. I know its just for video for now but maybe in future updates it will contain improved photos.

I'm already running that
They app aint that sophisticated sadly enough, but you can change the white balance at settings, if you go there you see it's normally on auto, you can change it to sunny and stuff like that. That allready changes a lot for me.
Thanks yeah I changed it to landscape and was much better, but also Camera 360 kills the stock app
I noticed i get less glare when i take off the battery cover, i think it contributes to the milkyness a bit but not sure
Hey Guys,
two things:
1. I just noticed a software bug regarding the camera on Nexus 4:
If you change the resolution down to 5MP and then zoom in, the picture you take will have an "color offset"
To easier show what I am talking about, here 2 examples:
FIRST , using stock aamera app, 5MP UNZOOMED
SECOND , using stock camera app, 5MP ZOOMED
Android Google code issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41721
2. Can you reproduce it too?
Certainly looks messed up to me. Does it do that every time on 5MP when you zoom? No matter how still you are? Do different white balances affect it? I'm not sure this will affect many people...I, for one, always use 8MP and rarely zoom. Still, a bug is a bug and it should be fixed...
I have it also, but I can't reproduce it in every shot. Here is one where the effect is visible on the stereos speakers...

Every Zoom stage on 5MP and it gets more akward the bigger the zoom.
Yes, even if you are perfectly still.
Sucks but at least it is an easy fix, don't zoom. Maybe if the n4 had an optical zoom it would be an issue.
Sometimes when I take a picture with the rear camera the photo's are extremely foggy. There are some minor scratches on the rear camera glass otherwise im not sure what might be causing this issue. Below are two pictures taken about an hour apart.
Whilst I know the foggy photo is of a screen, I have tried taking a Photo without any backlighted screens and in a relatively lit bedroom and still the fog.

You obviously need to change the glass that covers the cameras. Maybe buy some protection for it so you won't scratch it in the future.
I take it that you have cleaned the lens of any oils from fingerprints etc? This is a classic photo of oiled camera lenses

If you have already cleaned, I thinks some water is inside and the its vaporization gives the foggy effect to the camera glass ...
I'm facing an annoying issue with the phone
When I tame a low light photo.. there's a white line appear from the light source
I tried to clean the lens and Gcam
But nothing worked

thats glare from the camera, if you clean the lens horizontally or vertically, thats can occur...you need to clean the lens with circular movements...
try it and open the camera and point to some light source and see what direction the glare goes, if you do circular moves like a "O" around the cameras that could be much less with that kind of wipe.

Thanks, that was the problem.
I don't why. I had Galaxy S9 and never had to do that
Thanks again
generally speaking my phone does pretty well with pictures, however this past week after the update it has just gone downhill pretty quick. As you can see in the image below there are quite a few things awry with the image quality....it is definitely not what is expected from a flagship. this looks almost like it was taken with something along the lines of an iphone3 or worse. is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

The sun is shining directly to the phone in the first picture that it caused it?
Do tou have more pics?
And what version you had and you got now?
Might sound silly but are the lens clean? Are you using a case with thick/big cutouts for the rear camera bump?
First and foremost, do you have a lens protector applied?
no lens protector, however these were taken during video recording
also, i have a good 70+ pics from the last week at the lake, most of wich were just damned fine pre-update to 12.5.10

The photos taken during filming are not nice, they lose a lot of quality.
If the photos taken outside the footage are normal, there is no problem with your camera.
that's disappointing, but yeah normal photos are pretty damned good. one day they will be 1:1
