Hi, dude,
This is a normal physical effect, which is called 'Antbamding' (50 or 60Hz).
in previous versions there was an option in camera settings "Antbanding" to minimize that effect.
for more Info 'google' it!
I do not see any option in Gcam for anti-banding
I am also experiencing this, vertical bars for BOTH front and back camera. Was at restaurants in low light environment and took these, using portrait mode, night mode and normal mode.
Yes, this is the same issue I have experienced on both front and back camera in artificial lights.
Seen this during day time, indoor shoot as well as night time indoor shoot
Ok. That's 2 of us... Is this normal/expected camera processor behavior or do we have defective units??
A couple others have reported this as well. Even in few of the youtube videos comparing Pixel 7 with other smartphones, I was able to catch this on pixel 7/pro display.
I do not believe this is affecting just vanilla 7, but 7 pro as well.
I hope others chime in with their experience by shooting under different light conditions.
I had such a problem when I put on a cover. It turns out that there is a sensor between the two cameras, and my cover did not have a hole for this sensor. I had to make a hole myself. Everything is fine now. My pixel 7.

What case/cover it is?
I have the same issue...
Issue is seen even without any case/cover in my case
Workaround - Start the camera in selfie mode and after 1 second switch to back camera.
Update; i exchanged phone as it was new and replacement phone does same thing, so it is a " bad behavior". Work around is to play with the lightness bar when taking pic. Banding stops at a certain point, but what a pain..
This isn't a defect per se, it's image banding.
Likely from LED lighting.
Try decreasing the shutter speed under a 100th of a second while keeping the exposure like in pro mode.

There are no such options in Google Camera app. I see the same response being posted all over the internet for such problems (reported on Pixel 6, Pixel 6 pro etc.)

That's a normal digital camera phenomenon, not a defect. That said I can't get my N10+ to do it with LED lighting. These ones probably aren't pulse modulated though.
Use the phone's led, another led light source or incandescent lighting to back fill the shot. You need to slow the shutter speed otherwise or shoot at a higher ISO.

Hi
Got my Hd 7 from o2 pay as you go
Am quiet happy with it, but has anyone noticed that the camera is a bit rubbish or is it jjust me
Camera snaps close up are super brilliant. but the moment you try to snap far away subjects its all blurish
Its seems to have a digital zoom which just blows up to picture to distortion
I have noticed that even the zoom function just blurs it up as well
feed back would be appreciated
It's indeed not the best WP7 camera but it's not too rubish also. It should be no more than decent (while to video recording with continued focus is ace) . Can you provide a sample so we can judge ?
There was also a pink-camera isue with an earlier HTC device (can't remember the exact model) and problem was solved with a quick update.

camera on hd7 does suck... tend to bluish every single shot unless u play with scene mode .... thats one of the reason im trying something else .. maybe focus
Hmm.. do you think that it will be possible that they release an update for this?
Not too keen on getting it if the camera is useless.
I have the awesome pink hue issue with mine... and for the other guy... the other phone with the pink problem was the HD2.
anyone know if this is just the software or is the hardware?
ive noticed too that on long distance shots its horrible on keeping focus of the picture. Though i think that maybe because metering is set to center and it cant focus in that much in the distance.
Though your every day snaps are usually ok for me. No problems with tints or anything and i find the video quality to be decent
I haven't had any problems at all with taking photos on my HD7 - no focussing issues, near or far.
Are you guys half-pressing the camera button to focus first, before pressing it the rest of the way to take the photo?
This seems to be the biggest cause of issues, people not realizing it's a two-stage shoot process, just like with digital cameras.
Note to the OP: Metering is actually light metering and has nothing to do with focussing. If you have metering set to centre, the camera will adjust the exposure according to the brightness of the object in the centre of the shot. If metering were set to "average" it would work out the brightness of the whole frame and set the exposure to that. Nowt to do with focus.
Incidentally, don't forget to ensure the lens is free of dust, fingerprints and other crud as that will obviously make your pics look mushy.
nope i always press on the first stage and let it focus and then press
My Nexus 6 seems to have an issue from day one and is still present with the 5.0.1 update and the most recent camera update. I'm unlocked and unencrypted.
When using the camera, any camera app, the viewfinder and ultimately the photo/video comes out blurry when shooting in landscape. If i shoot in portrait, the viewfinder and the photos are sharp.
In landscape is starts clear and sharp and then quickly changes to being blurry. Even resting the phone on a still surface it is always blurry. Lighting conditions or shooting mode don't make any difference.
I attached two photos showing the difference, both handheld.
It's almost like something is wrong with the OIS in landscape. Hardware issue?
did you touch to focus or did you just point and shoot?

touch to focus... it actually begins to focus and then it looks like the sensor is shaking on the screen and shows up in the photos. I have no issues at all when in portrait mode.
This even happens when the camera is sitting on a still surface so its not my hand shaking.
This is with the camera sitting stationary on my desk and a 10/sec timer
mine did the exact same thing. the OIS never fully settles due to a hardware defect. i got a new one from T-Mo and returned my defective one and the problem has gone away.

Thanks for the info and helping verify its a hardware issue. guess I will be calling T-MO then. Where they hard to convince in replacing it?

i was lucky to call and complain about it within the 14 day buyers remorse period so they could send me a brand new one instead of a possible refurbished one, but it was like pulling teeth with them. i had to explain that it was a hardware issue several times before they agreed to send me another one. after several phone calls later in the next few days, i finally got someone who was willing to do it then and there while on the phone.
good luck :good:
I have about the same problem with my more then 1 year old Nexus 6. After my nexus 6 fell of my bed (with a tpu case and no visible damage) it seems that i can only get the camera to properly focus while holding it at 90 degrees (so with the camera sensor towards my right hand) and while holding it at 180 degrees (so upside down) 0 and 270 degrees (camera towards left hand) the camera focusses, during the focussing it's focused for like a fraction of second and then the blurriness/vibration starts, in both camera and video mode.
So thanks for this topic, i guess i'm ordering a replacement camera module.
Replacing the camera module has fixed my focusing problem. The module itself was around 13 dollars on aliexpress. For anyone that's facing focussing/ois problems with the camera, you can easily replace the module yourself.
Hi.
Ever since I received the latest update (.153), my phone does not switch the camera to the 5x all the time. It only changes, 100% of the time, when I press on the 10x zoom.
I have a hard time explaining, basically what I want to say is: When I press the 5x zoom button the app stays on the main sensor and doesn't use the 5x one all the time, only sometimes.
Try to go to settings>apps>storage and then clear data, it should fix it, otherwise, go to the service center.
Or maybe your subject is too close or you do have a low light environment
Just checked mine and it works 100% okay, so it's not a "global" bug.

Well, it happens only in low light and also when its too close, but still, why?
When I tried outside(in the night) it still used the main sensor, but when I tried using the x10, it was sharper than the main sensor at x5, so I dont understand their logic.

Because focusing has minimum required distance, maybe at least 2m-3m when you use 5x optical zoom to properly focus on the subject (Even DSLR/Mirrorless lenses has it). Also, it will shift to main sensor at night because it has only 3.5 Aperture and it will be too dark if it will use it compared to 1.6 aperture of the main camera. Same how samsung uses its telephoto lens at night, it will automatically shift to main sensor.
In contrast, 10x zoom uses hybrid zoom which uses both the periscope lens and the main camera. So far, my device is good in lowlight even I use 5x zoom, I think you just need to focus it firmly before taking photos
I've noticed the very same issue after .153 with mine, I've cleaned data for camera and reset it to default which immediately fixed the issue, but now it's happening again... and not always, it seems like it just can't switch to other camera module... when needed (5x only) both for video or photo... really strange... Mine is from UAE...
Yeah, same here... But I can't even fix the issue.
It keeps struggling with 5x zoom.
When it starts focusing, often a noticable switch (different camera module?) to a much noisier image occurs.
Also with zooming in from 1,1x to 4,9x I have no image stabilization...
I hope they can sort this out with future updates.
For now I have to use 5,1x zoom or 10x zoom for a clean image with stabilization.
Can anyone confirm that behaviour?
Hi,
Currently in the .153 firmware and have noticed a couple of camera problems and just wanted to see does anyone else have the same problems or know a solution.
First problem I noticed is sometimes when I take a picture and go to view it using the gallery button in the camera it will say "loading" and it will stay like that and then I'll either get a could not connect to camera error or the camera will crash and the picture won't be saved. This seems to be solved with a reboot.
Secondly I noticed that when using the 5x zoom it appears to not use the dedicated zoom lens and instead using digital zoom from the main lens. Clearing the data and cache fixes this issue for a period until I comes back.

I have also noticed the zooming not using the main zoom lens you could hear it before but you cant hear the lens anymore since the update so they have bust the camera in the update ?
Mine seems to zoom okay
When there's not enough light for the tele lens to expose correctly the phone will switch to the main lens and then apply digital zoom. This is because the main lens has higher aperture (lower f/number) and therefore it will let pass more light to the sensor than the tele lens

I don't think this is the problem for me because I noticed this happening outdoors in nice sunny areas.
The latest updates has many camera bugs even using light painting mode. Silky water feature does not work very well even in other light painting modes which produces around 700kb file only instead of more than 2mb.
SO how does that 5x optical zoom work? Everything beneath 5x is not optical, is that right? Or does it depends on the light conditions?

Most of the time, 0.6x, 1x and 5x zooms are purely optical, any other zoom is not. But as stated before in certain light conditions 5x can be non purely optical
I've noticed the same issue with the camera lenses and was surprised, that the quality of the results differs a lot even with the same focal lenght!
The phone does not always chose the lens you actually want to use. I did a few tests on that by covering each lens when changing from wide to 1x to 5x (that 10x is digitally zoomed is obvious). Everything in between is digitally zoomed (or cropped?) as well of course.
Please see attached pictures. Both on "5x" - 135mm focal lenght, but of course with different aperture (F3.4 vs. F1.6), exposure (1/30s vs. 1/120s) and ISO (200 vs. 80). This indicates quite accurate, that the phone uses the main lens (1x) with digital zoom in some situations, which is a mess! You cannot force the phone to use one lens, that's the issue, even in pro mode. It seems the phone decides which lens to pick on the available light (of course the main lens has the larger aperture), but digital zoom is a really bad solution!
As you guys mentioned, this issue is the same with videos!
I have not found any solution or how to chose one explicit lens. Hope an update will make that possible...
I'm on 153 also but didn't have any problems with lenses so far..altough I can tell it sometimes takes some time to switch the lens between the main and tele lens..you can tell because picture sudennly "clears out" while composing a shot.
I noticed different problem. When using slow motion video above 120fps resolution is horrible and focus is extremely slow.
I did experience some camera crashes while doing macro photography but continued to use the camera and phone normally without rebooting.
Same Problems, maybe even worse...
Hi,
I'm having the same problems but after the picture does not load in my gallery, it becomes just a green picture... My phone is been to the store 5 times now, i've had a new one, but i'm experiencing the same issues.
Is there a solution yet?
I have exactly the same issue with regular P30
Telephoto lens was working fine with EMUI 9.1, but since EMUI 10 any zoomed pictures results in a blurry mess, in order to use telephoto you have to switch to Pro mode AND enable RAW output, otherwise it won't work
This surely looks like a bug in the camera software
Just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this. I was noticing how Portrait Mode on my new Pixel 4XL seems way worse than my Pixel 3XL was. Specifically, edge detection is awful. I’m seeing the same thing MKBHD talked about in his review when he showed how the cutout around Portrait Mode pictures he took of his dog were just awful. I’m getting that constantly. But I did some experimenting and found something interesting. If I go into the Google store and “uninstall” the camera app, it reverts back to version 7.0.019.X, and then Portrait Mode works like a champ again. But as soon as I update to 7.2.011.X, edge detection falls off a cliff.
I’ve attached two quick portrait shots I did of my hand. One was with the app at 7.0 and the other was moments later after updating to 7.2.
Anyone else noticing this? Any thoughts?
I'm on 7.2.011.276470382, and I did a hand test similar to yours and it came out perfect.

I have noticed the same issues, but it's been a little more inconsistent for me... Some shots come out great, and some are just useless! I also don't like how we can't use the standard lens for portrait, I'd like to have the option. I've also noticed how crappy 2x zoom looks in the viewfinder and it's only after the shot is taken + processed it looks normal.

I should have clarified in my original post - it doesn't fail at portrait mode all the time with the latest app update. It's been inconsistent for me too. But I'd say for me, it only nails a portrait shot about one time in four, and even then, it doesn't seem any better than my Pixel 3's portrait shots were.
There's another weird bug I've been experiencing. Pretty often, I'll take a portrait shot and after it processes, no effect will be applied. But it will still save as a portrait shot. I'll go into the photos app, and I'll have two pictures saved. And when I edit the portrait shot, and select the blur effect and retap to focus on the same point I tapped on in the view finder, suddenly the effect is applied (and looks pretty good too, when it works). All in all I'm pretty disappointed so far. When it works, the Pixel 4 takes amazing portrait shots, better than my iPhone 11 Pro Max. But my iPhone is far more consistent - it gives me very good portraits every single time, whereas my Pixel is giving me portraits that are either great, or garbage.
Also, just a few more fun facts - contrary to what a lot of people are saying, the Pixel 4 does not use the telephoto lens to take portraits. You can check this yourself. Cover up the telephoto lens with your finger, and go into portrait mode - you'll see that the viewfinder is still clear. It's also not a 2x zoom. If you rewatch the presentation when the Pixel was announced, the guy on stage referred to it as "approximately" 2x. But it's actually about 1.85x. When you go into portrait the mode, the main lens crops in about 1.85 times, so it and the telephoto lens have the same frame but with different focal lengths and slightly different angles, to provide additional depth data. But the picture is being taken with the main sensor, not the telephoto.

It's no different than what used to happen on my Pixel 2 XL. I guess everyone is all crazy about it because the Pixel 3 doesn't do that at all?
