So when I was taking a picture with my front facing camera on my one it looks to be in some kind of fun house mirror mode... I was looking for a setting with it but I can not seem to find it... Basically when taking a portrait with the front camera if i move my face up or down it has a bug eye/ fun house mirror effect... Am i missing this setting??
Nope mine is also the same, if I'm taking a picture with the front camera it comes out long or strectched out usually at the top. I think it's due to the wide angle lense in the front facing camera.

Thats pretty terrible....
The camera cannot focus at all when I'm taking a close range shot. Pictures always come blurry as a result. Anyone else have this issue?

Have you taken the plastic film off of the camera lens

If you looked at the film that covered the lense, it didn't actually cover the lense center. There is a hole in it for the shooter even if you don't remove it. That wasn't the cause. The shooter is just wonky on finding good contrast for focus, especially anything less than 6"
I have also the same problem.

It still effects the focus it happens on the s4 and on the s5 you must have a bad camera

It does not effect the camera, it is not in line of sight. My camera works fine(I don't have the film, regardless). The cameras focal distance isn't great if the subject isnt super high contrast if less than 6".

Dude you have no idea what your talking about lol I bet it fixed op problem. The camera is a wide lense the plastic will mess up the focus. I have no problem taking close up pictures of flowers or anything for that matter

Source, because no. This rear camera is not a wide angle in the strictest sense. By your logic it would take pictures of its own bezel if the small film would be in line of sight. That's not the case, the front camera is an 88 degree wide for close field (selfies and such) the rear is not.

Im sorry but I had the same problem with the s4, s5, and so did a whole bunch of people. If you dont know what your talking about then why are you still arguing. It clearly messes up the focus because A: Dust and hair start to collect over it and B: it keeps trying to focus while its on which causes blurry pics
And if OP could chime in I bet removing this made his camera better
I wasn't arguing, I stated its not a wide angle, it isn't. The front lenses is 88degree for wide. I also still stand(with no sticker) that the rear shooter isn't the greatest at focus. These sensors are still just over hyped webcams. My bias towards specific detail comes from photography experience.
Further, I hope OPs problem is solved too.

See I dont have a problem with focusing unless im a inch above it but i feel like thats expected with theses cellphone cameras. I just like the fact how much detail it retains
I still have the little plastic film on my lens and have no problem taking picture with it! Not once my pictures were affected by the film.

Like you, I kept it on my S4 for a long time and it didn't cause any problems either. However, like I mentioned before, not all of these phones are alike. It might not cause a problem for some while it does for others.
To the OP, the best thing to do is remove it and see if the problem persists. If it does, exchange the phone until you get one that works right.

Is there a way to make the front camera smoother for snapchat? The back camera works beautifully no lag whatsoever but the front camera is very laggy in certain light conditions hard to take a selfie with the lag.

Works perfectly for me. My kids take selfies daily...no lag.
Do you have a screen protector covering the lens?

nope my screen protector has a cutout for the front camera. It works completely fine in the stock camera app.

Same problem here... only in lower light. Must be an issue with the app.

On my model of the Note 5, the camera module itself is offcenter, slightly toward the bottom left of the glass. I'll try to get a picture of it later on. Just wondering if this was a known problem and isnt just me. I am not too worried about getting a replacement as it has no effect upon picture quality.
Mine is off center but it does not affect picture quality.
Its because of the OIS. The lense must be able to move a bit stabilize the picture. Its not a bug... Its a feature !

Nope, the camera module is permanently off center.
Alright everybody does anybody know how the moment case and lenses are going to work with a dual camera set up?? Curious if it will only work on one camera?
Pre-Order Link just came out today for it
https://www.shopmoment.com/shop/photo-case/note-8/black
If you look at the photo, it looks like there are mounts over both cameras, so I would assume that it will work with both cameras.
Thanks for posting this, I missed the announcement and was wondering if they'd make a mount/case for the Note 8.

Yeah I also noticed that but did not know how it would interact just wondering if anybody knew anything or had video of it. I mean note has a wide angle already will the wide lens make it like double that? LOL sorry just trying to figure out if i should order!
And no problem I have been really wanting to try one. Was going to get one for my pixel 2 xl but screen was too blue for me so guess I will try on note!
From my experience the lens screws into the case and sits flush to the camera. The Note 8 "wide" lens is actually not extremely wide, so there shouldn't be any vignetting or image quality problems.
The optics of the Moment lenses are superb, and yeah, the wide angle lens will make the view super wide!
I've had the Moment lenses since they were introduced and their customer support is always good and willing to help.

hopefully so the wide will become an impressive wide, wider then other phones out there. i guess i could probably watch youtube video on the dual camera iphones i am sure somebody has a review of those on there
