Never noticed this, since I rarely use my p500h camera. Today I recorded some small videos and took some photos. I noticed the image gets deformed if the phone is subject to some vibration, I recorded a sample where I moved the phone way more and well the effect is more evident now, is it normal behaviour for these kind of cameras?
Check the video to see what Im talking about:
youtube video
watch?v=XxntHjcIe2U
Post the link correctly. Can't see the video.
HERE IS THE LINK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxntHjcIe2U
and it looks like to me you might just need to be a lil more carful when you take video cause i was able to duplicate what happened to your video with mine but i had to move the camera a lot like i was practicly shaking it and any camera will do that if you move it too much i have never had a problem with my video yea it can get shaky at times but its a none HD 3.2 mega pxel camera on a phone so i dont expect much what ROM are you running im not sure if it matters but i wondering ???

Hi,
I recently got the Samsung Galaxy SII and noticed that I'm not getting a clear image from the front facing camera (I'm seeing a bunch of vertical lines). Outdoors the camera is fine, I noticed it occurs indoors (so I'm assuming it's because of low light, although my rooms seem lighted enough) and is more noticeable with a higher screen brightness on the phone and when recording a video. It got me worried enough when I was testing video recording in my room and I was seeing these lines on my face.
I tried searching for answers but couldn't find any, maybe it's because I'm not familiar with camera terminology . Is this what you call a grainy image?
Is this normal? I wasn't expecting quality from the front facing camera anyway, so if other users experience this too then this really isn't much of a problem. The image I uploaded shows the vertical lines I'm talking about. I bumped up the exposure value to get the lines to show more because it looks that bad, sometimes worse, when recording video.
Hopefully this is normal and I'm just being a noob. I don't want any problems on such a great phone! Thank you for any help in advance!
That just looks like noise due to the small sensor, you can try setting the ISO to be locked at 100 to minimise noise. The downside is that shutter speed will be used to compensate so you need to hold the camera steadily.
The phone doesn't let me change the iso for the front facing camera and I can see those lines even before taking the photo or video. I'm just wondering if other users experience this. If not then maybe I need to get it exchanged D:
Thank you for your reply though.
I am stock unrooted(till my 30 days are up) anyway I have seen a bunch of concerts recently and recorded video using my HTC Inspire, then with my brief time with the LG Thrill, and now with the Galaxy S 2 and while the galaxy s 2 seems to give the best quality recordings it seems while recording it will blur the video for a few seconds like its trying to focus then it will go back to normal it may do this once or twice during a 2-3 minute video yet I never had this problem with my Inspire or LG Thrill just wondering if I am missing some settings or what the deal is?

Most likely the other phones do not have the feature of
continuous auto focus during video recordings.
Perhaps one of the devs will include a mod in these custom roms
which can enable or disable the auto focus feature while recording
video clips.
(not many camera phones have auto focus during video recordings)
I guess I don't understand the continuous auto focus, to me that would mean it would auto focus always so I wouldnt get the blur issue. I went through the video recording settings didn't really see anything I could do that would remedy the situation.

Continuous auto-focus in i777 SGS2 means that it will
auto-focus as needed automatically while recording video.
So when the foreground or background changes and people
or objects are closer or further from the lens that's when
it will automatically try to auto-focus for optimal results.
I don't see too much of a problem on my test video but then it's not moving "too fast" like people/motion.. only cars passing by.

This happened to me while at the gun range, kind of anyways. The camera was blurry for the first half of the video like it wasn't even trying to focus, then when it did I guess it didn't go out of focus again. Very odd. Now that I'm on MIUI this doesn't happen, this video is from when it was stock unrooted.

To be honest, on the stock/unrooted version I was running, I was having the exact same difficulties. You would expect that the camera wouldn't have to test its entire focus length before finding one that works and goes back to it.
It's not as noticeable when recording objects far away whose distance isn't changing, but when something passes in front of the camera or you move it to something slightly closer and it loses focus at all, it takes a good 1-2 seconds to refocus. That's a lot of time.
I was just thinking, could this be caused by my video recordings running off a 16gb class 4 kingston sd card? If so would I need to up the class or could I just switch my video recordings to go onto the 16gb of internal storage space? I may just switch it to internal and try a video and see if that is part of the problem.
Hi there.
I have had this phone for a few days now. I must admit, the camera is very very good indeed. I have no complains what so ever with the still images that the camera records... its just the vids...they are way way dark.
I compared the video recording with samsung wave, S 3, note 2... and lg optimus 3d... in all the comparisons, the video turns out to be darker than any one of the ones i tested.
Is there something wrong with my unit??? I tried the few settings video recording option is loaded with, but that's that.
Can someone plz tell me what's wrong here?
because WP never had night mode, simply to nerv users
If you are shooting outdoors I have noticed if you slightly tilt you phone towards the ground it will expose a bit better compared to if you shoot it up facing the sky.
just put your phone on video and move it from facing the sky to the ground and you will see the exposure change.
I've ordered the g5 but now I've seen from quite a few videos that the camera stutters really badly while recording, could anyone tell me if there is a fix for this/ whether theres also does. You can see from this link it is especially bad with the wide angle camera.

I can confirm i have the same problem. Sometimes the recordings are nearly free of stutter and sometimes the recordings are like the one from youtube.
I've not yet found a satisfactory solution.
Hi everyone, I haven't seen anything in the threads mention anything about this but I've been trying to use my phone for video calls and it's god awful. It looks zoomed in and it's just blurry looking in every app that I've tried so far including Google's own Duo application. I have never been so embarrassed by a phone until yesterday when my friend asked what kind of phone I have. I was like I had a Pixel its made by Google the creators of android and asked to video call someone just to hear the person on the other end of the call say whats wrong with ya connection the picture looks horrible.
Came home and Duo called myself from my Samsung A72 and wow it looks like utter crap. On the other hand, the budget Samsung A72 was looking great, not to mention the A72 has the ability to record 4k with its front camera as well. I was thinking the latest update would fix this but nothing. This may definitely be a deal-breaker for me.
One more thing, does anyone else's background looks orange/yellow when taking a selfie that has a wall background?
Is anyone else having this issue with their Pixel?
I have used only Viber and Telegram calls and quality was fine. I haven't tested Duo yet. Maybe you could try with other application...
I have the same problem with my Pixel 7.
Quality on WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, Instagram, and its own google app for video calling, its just bad .i mean for a phone that you give solid amount of money should make the job for the most common task,video calling.
To mention that camera is perfectly fine when using it from phone.Just in apps it's really bad.
Hopefully it get fixed with future updates.
Front camera is plain bad. Small sensor and bad software. It's the same camera since Pixel 2...
I fixed photos quality by installing Google Camera mod with some personal settings, but video quality is terrible...

Try to set a native aspect ratio (4:3), disable EIS, and zoom all the way out.... if your software allows it.
The "default" way to capture video from that camera tends to be in 16:9, EIS, and zoomed in a bunch. All of these cause the image to be cropped. EIS uses a buffer zone around the captured video and moves the selection around in it to stabilize the video.
Unfortunately, most video chat programs don't allow these kind of controls.
