Has anyone noticed that the 1st camera on the rear of the s10+ does nothing?
Was playing around with the cameras and I covered the 1st one with my finger and scrolled through the wide-angle, normal and telescopic one, and none of them were obscured by my finger...
This is the camera I am talking about.

Dont worry!!
You are right my friend!!! It seems like the fricking photolens zoom it's there for nothing but dont worry , first of all you have to be with good illumination then the lens response when you made the switch from 1x and then from 2x but you will literally see what I mean by doing this. Instead of just put your finger in the lens and then zoom, first stay steady....zoom and then put your finger little by little you will see how your finger appears in the display and then bum! Like magic the software do all by it self by disappearing the finger. So you now know that the lens it's there and that it works, but it doesn't works as you thing.

i tried this on my s10+ and it works as you said exactly but i can't understand why , do you think it switches from optical zoom to software digital zoom when the lens is blocked?
Exactly
Thats right
When you put your finger infront of the lens and then zoom, you dont give a chance for the lens to "activate" so technically when you are blocking the telephoto lens, the main camera is the only activated when you, shoot 2x, and you don't allow this procedure, so the main camera does all the work, basically what the first camera does, is to take a better shoot in zoom pair by pair with the main camera believe me, the mate 20 pro does exactly the same, but the device forces a little bit more with the same result.

Hey all, Im new to this forum. I have a t-Mobile HTC HD2 that has PATs JW MIUI Sense like 1.9.9 ML installed on it via Nand. I am not fond of the stock camera app that comes with the ROM. It does not have a very good zoom on it.
Is there any Camera App that I can install on it that is like stock and has a better zoom on it? I know there are some free ones on the market, but so far I havent found one with a better zoom on it.
Any help is grateful
Thanks in adavance!
well no, you can get other camera with better quality of photo and effects.
I looking for camera with zoom too
With regards to zoom, the function in a way is somewhat pointless. The camera can take 5.1 Mpx shots, and all zoom does, is digitally enlarge what you see on the screen. So in fact taking a photo then cropping it, does exactly the same as what zoom will do regardless of the zoom factor! For real zoom, it would need an optical zoom lens.
Zoom zoom!

Use Camera Zoom FX. In settings select zoom type 4. You will be able to zoom by a factor of 6.

The camera360 pics look better and more colourful to me. Maybe I should try it too !
Awesome, I had my first opportunity to use Camera 360 today, I jacked up the image resolution, zoomed in as much as I could and took a shot looking out the 4th floor window of a dropbox.com office here in SF. I was impressed.

Backcover on. Personally I don't see any difference with backcover on or off.
you can try HDR camera+, if you want to sompare with Camera 360
I use from a long time the camera 360 con la option of hdr light and i am very satisfied. The picture with the camera original of optimus is very week seems like no have color but with the 360 the picture looks like wonderful picture. Yesterday i founded a new camera software even better then all the soft of camera and named U-cam. Try it.
Looks really nice. I made some tests some time ago but i didn't see any big difference.
I'm gonna try camera 360 again!
Optical sensor is quite good, made by Sony. But also we have second "glass" on back cover, which can get dirty inside and out. Then at the end I think software is to be blamed about most of the bad results, even though we have some options that other can dream of. Like panorama mode or even simple flash for photos
But lousy brightness and white balance on auto mode can ruin all that. Can be fixed by manual setting which is is pain in the ass, but there are software fixes for later.
Every photo editor has it. Paint.NET has "auto-level" under Adjustments for easy fixing, but I do it with Picasa. Use it for managing my photo collection anyway, and there are a lot of auto or manual editing options. "Feeling lucky" usually makes wonders out of my not-so-attractive photos, sometimes it even looks like lite-HDR effect. Try it: http://picasatutorials.com/2009/04/picasa-tip-im-feeling-lucky/
Camera 360 is a great App. I use it for 2 years now. But your comparison is not about photo quality but rather about settings.
Compare the Camera 360 HDR Light photos to the LG stock camera "Vivid" option.
Also I cleaned my back cover glass with laboratory grade alcohol and microscope wipes last year. There seemed to be residue from the glue holding the glass smeared across the glass. Mainly on the inside. Once this was removed I never had dramatic differences between cover on and cover off.
There is dust in there sometimes and there are fingerprints on it, but they are wiped off easily.
My friend recently upgraded to the M9 and gave me his M7 for free.
I love every single thing about the M7 except 1 thing:
The rear and front facing camera.
From the guides on xda forums, i have read that if you double the copper tape and add a copper roll from the screen side, the pink tint will go away. But the problem didnt go away.
So I thought to myself that there is a gap between the camera chip and the copper tape. So I bought Arctic MX-2 and applied a small piece to the chip. It ALSO didn't change anything.
I was hoping that the pink tint will gradually appear as the camera heats up. But it appears immediately...
The front facing camera at daytime is beautiful. However once you go into a dark root, even with 1 lamp lit, the picture gets extremely grainy and the video gets very choppy (maybe 3fps) ? Is this normal?
My question:
1) Is there anything I can do besides, buying a new rear facing camera?
2) Is the front facing camera normal? If I buy a new front facing camera will the issue disappear?
1. No. It's been permanently damaged.
2. No. Grain and low fps are due to poor low light performance.

If you have a m7, can you please take a picture of your front camera in low light and upload it. Thanks!

Where can I get a good quality camera ultrapixel camera in the UK for under 15 pounds?

Here you go. One picture taken in poor light and the other one taken with lights completely off.
No idea where you can get a new sensor but do search this thread - it was already posted.
I have 2 M7s. My "primary" I purchased launch day (2+ years of use), solid (awesome) battery life, great screen, and camera is flawless front and rear. My 2nd M7 is my ROM flashing machine, screen is claibrated differently (not worse, but whites are bluer etc, I prefer my primary), battery is worse even though it hasn been used as much, and while the front cam is fine the rear cam has the purple tint issue and is useless in my opinion. Even clear daylight shots it fails in comparison to my primary M7.

Hi everyone,
I think I might have a problem with my cameras or maybe they're just not as good as I hoped. The image attached is supposed to be a close up but as you can see it wouldn't focus close up. I was around 2" away from the object. Previous phones handled close ups like this without a problem, so what gives?
How are you close ups?
I've already tried cleaning the lens and changing cameras settings etc

I can't get the image to display??
A quick solution
Please refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77804957&postcount=51. Although, from the screenshot you have attached, it seems that your phone is simply too close to the subject. The minimum focusing distance for your P20 Pro is 10cm, so you will need an external lens attachment to photograph anything closer than that. I hope this helps.
Exactly. It even tells you that you're too close. Just back off a little.

I might try what is suggested in the other thread. As for being too close, my 2014 S5 can take close ups at this distance no problem so I expected this "beast" to be even better.
I love the phone but I think the cameras were definitely over hyped
Well it's no secret that the minimum focus is 10 cm. But I agree it would be handy if closer focus could be achieved. Occasionally I could make use of it, too.

Then you guys are in luck. Your p20 Pro comes with a 40MP sensor. So zoom in and crop away at your hearts' desire, my friends .
With all my respect, but that is not the same. Far from it.

Yes, I know. Just trying to put a positive spin on a bad situation I have actually been curious to try out one of those macro lens attachments from Amazon.
I guess they will work okay. I sometimes photograph through a loupe, just holding the phone close to it. Doesn't look as good as a true macro shot, but good enough if you're lazy and don't want to get the DSLR out (I am the queen of laziness ).
auto-focus macro would ask u to go further away. If you'd like to do really closed-up photos, you can do it 2 ways.
1. switch to 3x zoom, then point your subject and take photo. the magnification is quite near to macro.
2. switch to "Pro" mode, then, click "AF-C" to choose "MF", there u can switch the focus slider to get your desired focus. That way, I can get up to 4 or 5 cm closed instead of 10 cm as in auto-focus mode.
I have the Galaxy S10e and use the main and wide cameras both quite often.
The "Ultra wide shape correction" option is turned ON in my settings for the Ultra Wide camera.
I am getting distortion on the edges of straight lines on buildings, pictures, etc with the MAIN camera. Please see the two images below..
This is very confusing and never happened with my S9 which I owned prior.
Anyone else seeing or noticing this? Any idea how to correct?
Main camera (distorted edges appear curved, but this is a perfectly straight picture frame)

Ultra Wide (no distortion)
a lot of views on this thread, but no replies from anyone.. am posting up two more examples from a trip last week in Guatemala. you can clearly see the distortion in the close up image (normal lens) and then compared to the wide angle (wide lens) with no distortion.
has anyone else noticed this or can confirm/deny this issue with their s10 normal vs wide camera?
main camera, with distortion on edges of straight line wall
wide camera, no distortion, and you can clearly see the wall is straight

Hi, no distortion at all on main camera also not on wide. (Exynos S10, April update)
Sent from my SM-G973F using XDA Labs
Check under Camera Settings>Picture>Save Options...there are options to correct ultra wide distortion and selfie distortion.
ETA: above is for S10+...not sure if it is the same on S10e
Hello cyburke,
Thank you for your message, this good to see that I am not the only one to notice problems:
I see shocking spherical aberation on the MAIN camera on my Galaxy S10 on left right borders.
This is the first model of Galaxy S serie that gives such bad distortion, so disappointing for a flagship smartphone..
Hey! You are definitely not alone, but I thought it would be a much more frequent issue. Bought my s10+ from US to get the snapdragon version, so it would be pretty inconvenient to send it back (also it's been with me for almost 9 months). I get huge distortions on main and wide camera. People are stretched so hard, the look like aliens sometimes. It seems like it's not an app issue.
I wonder if camera glass protectors cause this. I have this problem on my Galaxy A51. Do you use glass protector for your camera?
