Anyone else experiencing this?
Back camera is fine, but on Google camera, stock camera, camera apps like Snapchat- incredibly laggy front camera. Like 1-2 fps. Video and picture mode. Tried HDR on and off. Starting a video recording will kick it back into normalcy, but as soon as it ends recording, the preview goes back into stuttering. On Snapchat, the recording is stuttered.
Im having the same issue

My back camera is great. But when it comes to using the front-facing camera its absolutely awful. A few frames per second and relatively delayed. Very grainy as well. I got much better quality on my s4....
Exactly! But then sometimes it's perfectly fine. Can't find any specific reason for it. I did notice that the stuttering improved when I was in a bright environment...? I'm perplexed. Never had anything like this happen with the S3 I was using.

I've noticed the same thing. Front camera works fine with lots of light but the FPS drops to **** as soon as it gets a bit dark. Not even too dark to see, just not super bright. I think it should be able to get fixed in a software update. Wishful thinking at least.
Wait till 5.0 drops we will probably have to just deal with it till then
On my Moto Maxx XT1225 i had the same issue.
On kitkat and even now that I'm trying soak lollipop, very very laggy
Only happens on low light conditions.

So I was playing around and I noticed that when using the main camera it was really choppy, but when I used the secondary camera it was fine, this is for both photos and videos. But out of fluke one time today the main camera had no lag...
So when recording video it's really choppy and photos if I move even the slightest it blurs =/ it's not quick refresh at all.
Using the secondary camera it seems to be very quick and recording videos is fast, not choppy at all.
Any solutions?
After some quick searches I Found this is a common problem...but doesn't answer my question how I got it to work perfect under the same conditions (I was inside the whole time same light conditions)
*shrugs*
The primary camera lags because it shifts into night mode when there is low light so as to get as much light into the lens. Trust me, try going outside when it's quite bright or something and the camera will be sooth as silk
Some people hate this feature though. Not sure if you can switch this "quirk" off so it only happens manually.

That's the funny thing though...it was perfectly fine after this 'glitch' happened haha...in the same light conditions, I'm trying to make that happen all the time
I just purchased the One and tried both dailyroads and autoguard black box. I notice that it gets REALLY choppy when it's dark out. This did not happen with my nexus 4.
I notice that when i'm in the htc camera app, the viewfinder is also choppy when it's dark out, but when i turn on video recording, it's smooth like butter.
It's almost like dailyvoyager and autoblackbox are recording from the camera viewfinder rather than going into the camera's recording mode to record video. Does anyone experience the same thing? Is there a fix?
Try VideoReg. I prefer it over the two you mentioned. I have noticed that often when it starts up the preview will not be automatically in focus for some reason, so go into the settings screen then back out and it works. The developer is getting a One and has a beta that makes the One's HDR video mode available. Should be some good stuff on the way in a month or two.

Hello!
As many of you have noticed, after updating to 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, a recorded video with stock camera is a lot darker than it was on 4.4. It was done probably to increase framerate at night, but crippled low-light video capability. I have noticed that Camera MX by MAGIX allows recording video with lower framerate in low light, but a lot brighter, almost like it was on 4.4, and in full HD resolution.
Below are two samples
Notice higher framerate but darker image.
Notice lower framerate but brighter image.
Nice find, the 4.4.2 update made the video recording in low light unusable for me really , way to dark

It may be your camera device problem. you can go your servicing center and fix it.

Definitely not a camera sensor issue, since I know and have seen how MY nexus 5 stock camera shot video in low light on 4.4 and how badly it does now on 4.4.2. I reverted back to 4.4 and video in low light is brighter.
There's another repeatable glitch. When switching to Panorama mode in stock camera (not photosphere, panorama) and then to Video recording mode, the image in the viewfinder becomes brighter and stretched, and when you press Record, it reverts to dark video.
Same thing I noticed.
The camera software needs a fix,so as immersive mode bugs.
I've had issues with the camera since day one. Using apps such as Instagram. The video in zoomed in cropped. The video is so choppy and stops towards end. Even now using just the camera app the videos are extremely slow and choppy and over contrasted. Filming at night is impossible. I'm guessing I will have to wait for an update but it's absurd that I have this great phone with a camera that's useless. I've tried factory resets and different camera apps. No luck. Please help.
Is no one else having issues with the camera?
I've had the phone for a few days now and overall I'm very pleased with it yet I have one issue. The camera when recording at 60fps at any resolution has crazy flicker. I can record at any resolution at 30fps and it's fine.
I've tried other camera apps on the store but none seem to be able to record at 60fps, open camera for example, won't record at 60fps even when I set it, just records at 30fps.
I'm using the latest eu rom with included camera.
Would appreciate some help, thanks.
Might be an issue with the sensor on your phone. I don't have any flicker with any setting at 4K 60fps.

I just tested my camera - it has no flickering with [email protected]
Whatever modifications that you have made to your phone must be responsible.

I think you're probably correct. Tried it again today and it's working beautifully, I've made no changes or installed anything since yesterday.
Only setting I've disabled since testing was deep process clean, re enabled this to test and it's still working.
Hopefully it will remain working, hard to go back to 30fps video after seeing 4k 60fps.
Ok, so I'm able to replicate the problem.
It's a certain light bulb in my living room that's causing this, it's a 72led corn cob low wattage bulb. Only occurs in low natural light.
Went all through the house at night with the lights on as well as the front and rear gardens and no flicker, only occurs if I have that specific light turned on during the evening in my living room, how odd!
To the naked eye this bulb does not flicker but for some reason makes the phone camera go nuts.
I'll have to check the Hz rating of the bulb.
