Mine clicks but works perfectly. I've had other phones that click too.
C'mon this is totally normal for auto focus as the lens is moving, isn't it?
This is normal behaviour. It happns on my phone aswell
Shooting 1080p videos with the OMEF01 camera in S2 is a bummer. Too much noticeable lag; and no it is not an effect. Is there any newer firmware available for this?
Hello, anyone know of a better video recording app that has zoom options? Also what are some tips to get better video recording quality?
When I record outside its great but when inside with what seems to be decent lighting I get noise and the exposure settings don't seem to do anything...
Any tips?
Flashed stock honeycomb 3.1 and it seems to record with better video quality... Has anyone else noticed this? With TouchWiz it seems darker with alot more noise or am I just trippin?
Video recording
Hello,

I check video recording inside and outiside with good light with high resolution. it was grainy and also when you move the tablet -it become blurry during motion.
I tried to change White Balance value but no luck
I have Samsung Vibrant (galaxy S series) mobile which has far better result for video recording.
Is there any better app in Market which provide better video recording result?
No, unfortunately the camera used in the Tab10 is a low quality CMOS sensor and not very sensitive to light which is why the images and video are so grainy. Cameras on most smartphones are far better. The Tab 10 has one of the worst cameras sensors I have seen on a premium mobile device and I have used many devices. There is no software that will fix this as it is a hardware limitation.

Any help or info will be appreciated
I believe it's to improve quality for i9100 that were manufactured in China, some software faults in the camera or something in that nature and the firmware update should fix that, so your images *should* be better, although there's no guarantee that there would be massive changes in quality.
It looks like you are taking pictures in low light + flash on. Generally they won't look as good as pics in good lighting conditions.
Also, I always wipe the lens before takings pics. It can get very greasy from touching etc and wiping it definitely helps.
And just check your settings. Make sure macro focus is off or it won't focus correctly.
Edit: looks like you are taking close range pics. Make sure you tap the screen to focus. And for close up shots, macro focus works best.

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Xiaomi Mi A1's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Low light need Improvement
Low light is pretty week. Camera app is slow to capture and subjects need to be dead still to produce a usable picture
well overall device is great only weak spot is camera in low light outside in daylight camera performs great but in absence of light there is tons of noise it's like a 3 mp camera image don't know whether a software update can fix that and when mi will provide that or just camera sensor is not capable. i think xiaomi should have asked google to modify camera app also
In low light the cam is more or less unusable.
Yeah, we know the problem. It is not camera itself issue, it is camera app.
Low light performance is just Terrible, no escuses for that.
Low light camera performance is nowhere. Not even low light even in indoor location camera sucks.
Low light photography with the inbuilt Mi-ported camera app is terrible. Pictures clicked had a high amount of noise in manual mode and focusing too was bad. In the HDR mode and with flash, pictures had unrealistic tinge and destroyed the quality. The Portrait Mode works comparatively better however the light entering the photo lens somewhat decreased.
Overall, the app itself needs improvements. The hardware is more or lese fine.
Hardware camera is good for its price. I compared side to side with my old Samsung A710 (f/1.9 vs f/2.2), and the stock camera APP beats the samsung hands down. In low light, Xiaomi pics are darker but with more details. Samsung night mode makes brighter images, but more blurry and with more noise.
Then, if you root (systemless with magisk works great) and use the ported Google Camera then it's a completely different world... Pics become even brighter and more detailed. Different versions could give smoother images or more detailed but noisier ones, up to your choice.
We can't compare vs an Iphone or S8 camera ofc... but in its mid-tier range camera is great for everyday usage.
PS. Using Oreo build, never tried Nougat stock cam.
The Mi camera app considered good enough, though I admit the low light photos are terrible. What's more worst is that the HDR image is really bad compared to non-HDR in quality.
sideport with GCam HDR+ whichever version that suit you.. then have fun with it, if you're not satisfied with the result then it is time to use a DSLR with a 50mm 1.4 or the L series 1.2 for those low light moments.. :angel:
For me, the build is just okay, I'm like holding my OnePlus 3T.

to me its not that bad , use google camera , lowlight photo seems better than stock camera
But the front camera is really bad whether it's gcam or stock. Most of the time it produces blurry images.

from my perspective and experience, the front camera with only a 5 MP resolution, using the GCam resulted in a much much better sharp and crisp image.. especially the portrait mode.. (compared to the stock camera app)
it goes back to HOW we take our photographs, steady hands and a moment (around 2-3 seconds while it process the picture) and I never took only one shot, I took many shots then pick which is the best, delete others..

During low light i can't have a good group selfie neither from stock nor from gcam. Most of the time it's blurry.

have you tried using the GCam with flash?
if you have, then there's nothing at the moment an option that I could recommend using :angel:
while using the GCam, let the auto focus (the circle thing) do it's work untill it dissapear.. then press the shutter :fingers-crossed:
I really don't understand. The camera module itself is pretty capable, but the software is putting it back. God I hope G Cam supports dual lens.
Is bad, is real bad
hi everyone, satisfied with how the front camera works? i don't.
In low light conditions the photos are of poor quality and noisy.
Hardware or software problem? will there be an update?Thx
