So I noticed I received the firmware update to the camera earlier today, and also of course came the ICS update. Anyways, I started trying out the rear facing camera, it looks fine but when I go to take a picture, the picture saves as just the color green. Its as if you use ms paint and just color the whole screen green. There's no traces of the actual picture. Its just a green screen basically.
The camera was definitely working fine yesterday. Does anyone have an idea of whats going on. I also tried it with Camera ZOOM FX, it does the same thing. Front camera is fine as so is Video.
Was your issue look similar to this pic.

If so then you are not alone. It seem that we are in the same boat. Here is the link the post started by another member.

The camera on my Streak presents a green screen and takes green pictures. I don't take many pictures with the Streak. It was probably two weeks between the last good picture and now with the green. I use SD 1.9 and just recently updated the baseband from 305 to 351 by flashing a new amss.mbn. The other event of significance between good pictures and green pictures was I lost the Streak on the golf course and it went through a heavy rain overnight before I found it. There was water inside. Have dried it out and everything else is working fine. I've searched lots of forums and most don't apply to the Streak. The most common solution to the green screen problem is to reboot. I've done that and I'm still green. This looks like a white balance problem or something similar, but the WB controls on the camera are much too limited to be any help. I hope this isn't a hardware failure. How can you tell? Anyone have any suggestions?
Nobody has any ideas?! Nobody wants to call me an idiot?
Sounds like maybe you have something on the lens, the grass/water stained the lens.
Thanks for your thoughts. This is a vivid green not a tinting like from a stain, plus it's the same on both the front and back cameras.
Hi:
I just got my gs2, and love it.
My only problem is that when I take photos in dark (ie. a bar) situations, everyone looks funny colored. Skin tones look either very orange, like those really fake tans, or very greenish, like aliens.
I have tried messing with the settings, and haven't found anything. Any suggestions?
Ps. everything looks fine the rest of the time, it is only in photos taken in low light with flash.
Thanks so much!

Okay, so it gets more mysterious.
When I view a photo I take in the gallery (or Astro image viewer), the colors are very orange or green, skin looks green, teeth look very yellow.
Now, if I transfer the same pics to my pc, the pictures actually look much better, more of a yellowish tint.
Also, any pictures not taken with this phone in low light (for example pics I transferred over from my captivate), look fine, so it is not the screen at fault.
I saw another thread with people having green tinted screens, but that would not apply in this case, since it only happens with photos actually taken by the phone.
Any thoughts? Is my phone defective? Can anyone think of a camera setting which may help?
Thanks so much!
I'm having the same issue. I don't think its just you, theres another thread on the forum that states several users having the same "issue" with the screen. Apparently it has a blue-green tint to it. It's quite annoying to be honest.. I hope we can get this fixed.
I've seen this issue on two ROMs now where I take a picture and rather than ending up with the sharp review picture shown on the screen right after, I end up with a blurry image that was taken about 1/4 second later. I've seen this running both Euphoria and Slim. I'm wondering if it's a known issue that I haven't been able to find info on (I've searched but most people just seem to care about FFC) or if somehow I'm causing this.
If you aren't sure if you're seeing this but have a moment to experiment, try the following:
1) Get your significant other, family member or friend to stand in a brightly lit room.
2) While you're aiming your camera at them have them start turning in a circle. Doesn't have to be fast but shouldn't be really slow either.
3) Take their picture and remember the position they were in when the review still was displayed after the picture was taken.
Now compare your memory of what the camera showed to you with the result in the gallery.
I consistently see that the picture that was stored was taken about 1/4 second after the review I saw after taking the picture. It's also usually less sharp.

btw, the problem can also be shown by just panning the phone and taking a picture during the pan. If you end up with something recognizable in the review image you may find that the final image doesn't match.
Hmmm.. all seems well in ICZenwich
Hmm. Wish I had the luxury of installing ICZ just to find out if that camera doesn't have the problem or if this is a problem with my phone somehow, or how I'm restoring apps badly. I'm otherwise happy with Slim so I'm reluctant to install a new ROM since I just put this one on a couple of days ago.
If nobody else chimes in I'll try ICZ this weekend.

Here some sample of picture I took with ICZenwich, Just basic setting.
mostdef, I think you've misunderstood the problem. None of those images show motion. With the subject standing still you'd never see the problem I'm describing. It's when the subjects are in motion or the camera is in motion (panning) that you may see the issue.
I've also seen it on Slim and Zen.
Looks like the actual picture is taken a sec after the camera display actually clicks and show you the preview. The trick is to remain still after the camera says its taken the picture. You get a picture that is a sec after the phone assume you take it. However, if you move the phone right after the camera clicks, then the picture is ruined. Same thing as if you take a picture as your arm is moving.

I'm glad it's not just me or my phone but that's messed up.
The biggest issue is that the review picture the camera shows is not what you end up with. There's no point in having the review image show up after a picture is taken if it's going to be wrong.
It doesn't matter how still you hold the camera if what you're taking the picture of is in motion.
I can't believe more people aren't talking about this

Are you talking about moving the camera around that look like it jerky on motion or are you talking about moving object?
So my prime has that green camera problem a lot of us are getting. The screen on my prime is popping out where the camera is. It was already popped out when I first bought it in 2012 of February. It's not until now my camera isnt working, and all it shows is green bars and purple bars then crashes the app. I've tried the pinching method. It works, but I have to pinch it pretty hard, but hard to take pictures. I got a clip to pinch it for me, kind of works. If I move to fast or take a picture in portrait, I might see purple bars and it will crash if unlucky.
I use the camera a lot on my prime. It has an amazing camera and I use it as my main camera when going out.I'm thinking about opening my Prime and try to fix the camera using some methods people posted on XDA. I;m just scared I'll mess up my prime while opening. I sent ASUS an email, even tho my bootloader is unlocked and likely they won't RMA it, plus its been a while, and prob lost warranty.
Just wondering any other ideas trying to fix my camera without opening it yet. Thank you~! .
I know this phone has a lot of issues with overheating, especially while using the camera, but recently I bought this phone and it came with a very strange camera problem. I must say first that the phone isn't new it's already used but neverthelss I didnt expcet everything to be working flawless but this thing kind annoys me.
This is the problem that I am facing with watch?v=ANLkCRZ-M-g ( just paste this after youtube com because I am not allowed to post links )
Is is possible to be a software problem or just a camera sensor is not working properly ? Device is running on Marshmellow 6.0.1.
Thanks in advance. Help would be appreciated.
Hello, try to look into your camera glass lens, is it clear?? or you can see some scratches with random colors?
The video shows a kind of glare.
Is it the same in the dark or just in the daylight?
it would be better if you can post here some close photos of the camera lenses.
No matter what, light or dark, pic and video always have the same glare of light which sometimes change colour into pink or lightblue like the one shown in the video . No scratches found on the lens.
Here are the pics, just as above first type imageshack com and then the rest.

If the phone back cover and the camera lens are clear as you said and properly sealed than it is a hardware problem probably. camera could be replaced and it is not very expensive.
