When I take night time photos, the flash lights up the subject really well but the resulting photo is a bit too dark.
Does anyone have any tips for me on getting a brighter photo when using the flash?
Menu> exposure value> turn it up and hold your phone steady
Otherwise nothing you can do, human eye perceives light on a logrithmic scale while sensor cannot, so what looks bright to us is not to the camera.
Ok, I will give it a go.
Thanks mate

I get the same but its because I use auto brightness. Because brightness is low during night pics I just increase it and the pics look great.

Are you talking about the screen auto brightness or a camera setting?

brightness is automatically adjusted using the light sensor, which you have above the display this is for saving battery
when your battery low , the brightness get low
Thanks everyone will give +1 when on pc.^_^

If you walk into a dark room, auto-brightness will turn the screen brightness down so you don't strain your eyes unnecessarily. If you got outside on a sunny day, it will turn the screen brightness up to help you see it better.
Autobrightness or full
Standard. Dynamic. Movie. Natural?
Which is the best.

Used to use natural till I noticed it didn't make battery much better. Normal all day now lol. Always auto brightness

Dynamic with auto brightness.

Auto brightness is just too dark for me. Auto brightness OFF, slider at 75% and Natural. I used to use Dynamic, and I'm thrilled we we have the option, but every now and then with Dynamic on an images color will look just completely blown out and I ended up moving it back to Natural which is still plenty saturated with the Super AMOLED display.

Thanks for posting this. Never looked in the settings before, and dynamic looks so much better.

Dynamic and Auto-Brightness. There is no 'best' option. It's just personal preference. I like the saturated colors I get with Dynamic, and I dont watch movies on phones anymore so it doesnt bug me. I keep a brightness toggle on my drawer so if I show co-workers some video clips or something I can wow them with a super bright display
I just use natural and auto
Standard w/auto brightness. Love this freaking phablet!

You pretty much have to lower the setting if you want natural colors. But who wants natural colors on a Samsung device!? Oversaturation ftw.
Try lux auto brightness....

Can't do dynamic, makes the women I set as my backgrounds like sun burnt to a terrifying degree.

Lux auto brightness and standard. my girlfriend always goes on about how nice the colors are on my phone, her incredible 4g looks so washed out next to the note 2.

Yeah I hate the washed out natural color look. I am perfectly aware that the Standard screen mode is way too saturated to be accurate color representation but imho, I love it. Especially running Beans ROM with the nice AOSP blue notification icons. Looks gorgeous!
I'm going to have to start playing with these settings!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the guys who mentioned Lux Auto-Brightness. I just purchased it and it really is quite spectacular. I didn't realize we could have this kind of control over our auto brightness. Thanks guys!
auto brightness all day everyday! I don't notice a change in battery life though to be honest

What do you mean, "keep a brightness toggle in my drawer" is there stock, isn't it?
I use auto on standard and when showing others video, tap off the auto in the notifications which switches to full brightness.
I've gotten used to the auto being slightly dinner than I prefer. Wish there was a setting to adjust that.

Hi, what are the two dots beside the front camera in the s3?
One is the proximity sensor to turn off screen during a call and the other is light sensor to detect the intensity of the light of the surroundings and adjust the screen brightness accordingly when set to auto.

Yes. Page 12 of the S3 User manual, which you can google
Users manual also posted on Samsung support and its posted on XDA .

My camera really seems to be worse than the S3 so I am starting to think I don't have the settings tweaked. Should I be at the 13 Megapixel setting or 9? Also the pictures are good with flash but the ones without them are worse than my S3 in similar lighting by far!
13mp is a 4:3 aspect ratio, while 9mp is 16:9. I personally prefer 4:3 for photos so I use 13mp.

I agree. I have been disappointed in the camera when compared to my S3. The camera feels slower and I have more blurry pics than I did with my S3.

Try the anti-shake setting. That helped

Yeah, the anti-shake setting does seem to help, but taking pictures in a dim environment (inside my house) without the flash is difficult. Also, for indoor pictures, I've noticed that the actual picture taken looks darker than what is seen on the screen at the time of taking the picture.

It doesn't take a really good picture low light. I usually have flash on auto. and also set my phone to dynamic.

So, your phone doesn't show a darker picture in the Gallery than what's actually on the screen when the shutter closes? And my screen is set to Standard...does that matter?

Yeah, auto-flash and anti-shake seems to be the way to go for dim environments.

Thanks for this fellas. I've not had a chance to use mine inside yet and this is great information to have. Although I do mostly take outside pictures I'm sure the time will come.

With it set on dynamic it makes it brighter on the phone overall. Of course the phone isn't going to be able to take really great low-light pictures but it makes your screen brighter with more vibrant colors.

Hi everyone!
Got yesterday my Z2 from Taiwan, awaited it so much time, and finally got it!
But seems like lcd brightness not such bright as i wish to be. Don't you think so? Or maybe lcd brightness on your z2 satisfied you at all?
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
I agree it's not bright enough especially on auto brightness. I set the bar all the way to the brightest and it's reasonable only. But if set manually then it is definitely bright enough
Can anyone confirm how bright the display really is? Nits? I think brightness is an important aspect.

Can't give you nits but it's definitely bright enough for me. Also seems whiter than Z1.

I thought the brightness was not bright enough from the videos.
Brightness is more than enough (enough to hurt your eyes ) if you turn off auto and slide the bar all the way up.
