My amaze seems to like screwing with me when taking pictures.
The problem is simple.
Start camera application, tap or hold camera button to focus. As soon as it gets perfect focus it jumps back out. It will almost never stay focus regardless of setting.
have you ever tried tapping the screen, say for instance if you're taking a picture of someone, tap their face, and it should focus on where you tapped.
have you tried cleaning the lens? sometimes when the lens is dirty it messes with the focus when I try and take pictures.
I have the same issue.
At first I assumed that my settings weren't correct, tried a number of 'fixes' that seemed logical and here I am.
It happens more often than not, but 99% of my pics are my kids, you got ONE shot at capturing a great moment.
blurred...
I have taken random shots of random objects and nothing will keep the focus...focused.
One second brilliant clarity of HD candy as it zeroes in, and °dink° blurrrrrred again.
sucks, i ditched my hd2 windroid for this camera so any info, possibly a bug fix kind of thing is what I'm looking for.
My hd2 took pinkish pics, so I'm no stranger to 'gimped' code.

try a different camera app like camerafx or vignette and see if you still have the issue. if you dont, its obviously not hardware...

Ashamedly I know the term myspace picture. It's taking a picture from above.
The extremely pleasing picture of a very mundane subject occured when the camera fired as I grabbed it up and knicked the softkey with my finger, my screen sensitivity is extreme (gotta tweak those values...).
Here's another wtf picture for the books...woke up at 5am for early contract, made coffee, reached for creamer.
Groggy and blinded by exhaustion, I confused the two because of the unfortunate placement.
Steamy espresso berry coffee.
1 picture out of 500+ pictures and this was automatically inserted into the "perfect picture" album...wtf???

What ROM are you using? Maybe its the ROM. I'm using an older build of bullet proof I believe.

I've had the same problem before, but all it takes is cleaning the lense even if it doesn't look dirty.. just make sure you use something that will not scratch it! But trust me, I've had the same pproblem, and that fixes it every time.
And I'm using bulletproof 2.5 or whatever. I've only used x's roms, so if you are using someone else's..

I had some issues at first too. I figured out I was doing a lot of things wrong.
First, Don't hold it too close, about a foot/foot and a half is good. Six inches is kinda weird looking.
Second, I kept reading move the screen back and forth till it pops, this is half right. You need to move it slowly and stop when it looks alright then blink a few times if you need too.
And in the gallery when looking at pics wait a second before you try to move it. Once you find a sweet spot if you keep the phone steady if should stay alright.
This phone really should of had a tutorial for using the screen, with like simple shapes and stuff like that.
The trick about 3D I found is that don't watch those cheaply made clips...make sure you watch the high quality one, I found one clip on Youtube that is a show-off type of clip for me to my friends. Search for "GoPro 3D: Highlight Reel 2011" is the name of it. Also, when watching 3D content, make sure you are in 4G speed because 3D requires high bandwidth to carry through.
Showed the above youtube clip to my coworkers and one of them said "iPhone 4 sucks!" and he's a Mac lover. lol

Yeah see, I thought that this kind of phone would revolutionize sexting!
I've seen some videos that are converted wrong, in most online videos and all the vids and pics the 3d takes I hold the phone with the top/left side slightly further away than the right, i have seen a video that it looked weird until i held it with the bottom/right side farther away. Check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXecWt6ldM4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
OK, dumb question: Why don't 3D vids on youtube work for me anymore? I bookmarked a few to show friends, but when I play them now, it's as if I'm viewing it on a computer or a non-3D phone. Clearly, I've somehow selected something on youtube that makes it not work anymore. Can anyone help an idiot figure out what he did???
NM, figured it out. Apparently, you gotta use the youtube app, not the browser. Carry on.....
I'm wondering if I'm alone on this... Coming from the evo 4g, I am extremely underwhelemed by the quality of the camera on this phone.
It has a hard time not blurring things when you take it's picture, whereas my evo could literally snap a picture of a roller coaster at full speed with ease.
It doesn't expose properly and leaves flares everywhere and washed out areas of the picture, if the whole picture isn't destroyed.
You can forget about low light situations, if it's even at dusk the camera won't be able to see anything without a flash.
And then the camera button... Oh my. When I try to use it (and maybe I just have clumsy hands), I can't hold the phone still and then the half way down to focus feature always screws me up. If I press it all the way down, it doesnt bother focusing, it just takes a picture in whatever focus it has. So, I have to carefully press it halfway down, not move, and then take it after. FRUSTRATION.
Sorry for the vent, but the camera was one of my favorite features on the 4g and this phone has taken it from me... 3d or not.
I love the camera button. Just hold the camera button down to the first click for 2 seconds, let it focus, the fully press it down and keep your hand still. You'll get a good picture if you do this. But if you move your hand while its taking the picture, then of course youll get a blurry picture. That's user error, not camera error.

I have the same issue with camera button. I now ONLY use the screen button and it works much better.
I'm not sure it's a shake issue or not. But when using the camera button the often come out blurry and when using the screen button they are fine.
Adjusting settings does help but the camera still sucks balls. I'll take iPhone 4 cam vs this one any day.

I agree totally! The camera on this phone sucks just like it did on the OG Evo. Who the hell has time to play with all of those settings, taking numerous pictures of the same thing trying to get it right. He is correct we are not professional photographers and if we were we wouldn't be using our phone to do it with. We just want a simple point & shoot camera that gives us good pictures. Even as much as it pains me to say, but like the camera on the iPhone 4. I have taken a bunch of pics & videos with it, inside & out, low light and sunlight and I've always gotten a a great pic/video with auto settings unlike the camera on the OG Evo and Evo 3D. Hell any HTC phone for that matter. They make great phones but they always skimp when it comes to the camera.

I can post the original sized pictures and for comparison, they look good both ways.
I have to say it's very disingenuous to say that the camera sucks. I have two friends that are professional photographers and they both have been very impressed with the pictures I posted in the article. I looked to them both for advice on this article. Are they perfect? Of curse not. But they are still very good. I dont mean this to be disrespectful, but the problem also seems to be user, not just software. I also want to add that once you change the settings the settings typically stay that way so you don't always have to adjust them. At the end of the day there is a difference between having a bad sensor and having bad software. The EVO 3D is limited to bad software but can be helped by adjusting the settings.
One last thing. I originally posted the pictures in their true size. But thanks to Windows Live not playing nice with WordPress the entire article had to be redone and somehow the size was reduced. I can certainly post the original size later when I get home. I really hope the article helps people out with their picture quality. To those that don't agree, it's fine. Can't make everyone happy lol.

More taken today
The problem i am having is the when taking pictures, is the picture always looks dimmed after taking the shot. I could take a picture of the beach on a sunny day and it would look in the picture as if was a coudly day.All my outside shots are dimmed. And forget low light shots.I played around with settings nothing seems to matter. Not sure why check out the picture below, this is a picture on the beach bright sunny day out .

Wow. That's really bad. I'd say part of the problem is the white balance. I think the EVO's white balance problem is really affecting certain images than others. I'll be going down the shore this weekend. I'll take some beach shots. No reason it should look that bad 0_o
I do wonder if there are some cameras that do have bad sensors... I've heard a few people on Android Central get an exchang and the new phone had better quality with no green tint..

So most of us have had our photon for a while now. This is just a general question to see if anyone has any thoughts on this.
When I got my photon I was able to take descent photos of still objects and people etc. However the more I use my Photon's camera the worse the photos seem to turn out. Now the phone cant auto focus anything. everything is blurry.
See two photos attached.
My camera settings:

Effects: normal
Flash: auto
Picture Mode: single shot
Resolution: WideScreen
Video Resolution: HD(720p)
Exposure: 0 & -1 & -2(all same results)

Edit: Also tried replacing the blurCamera apk with a back up that I had from a while ago. No Luck
I was just wondering if anyone had any possible thoughts on how to fix it?
have you used it as a rock and throw it on one of the Sprint employ's before?
and now seriously...
try to change to Macro,get a lock on some close item and return to Normal?

Probably one of the best I have ever had. Just seems a bit funny that the camera worked so good and then just degraded like that. every now and then I get a nice macro shot but anything with some distance just isnt going to happen. I am more curious if it happened after the ota upgrade. Might try and get the original image and see.

fx camera or camera 360 can be nice
you also have advanced camera and lightbox.
So I tried Camera 360 and the first several photos didnt work. I was like &%#$ and just took photo after photo after photo. then one came out clear. I opened the regular camera app and kept taking photos and they started focusing. My guess would be that the camera may have gotten stuck or something or maybe camera 360 just hit the spot and got things working again. I am gonna keep a close eye on this one.
Going out later for some night life fun and I am going to fill that sd card up.

I've never felt like the camera on this phone was very good. even in good lighting the pictures always look grainy. Also the color on the screen seems to be off some. All reds are more noticeable on the phone. Photos of people always look like they are blushing.
Stock camera app is pretty fail for me as well. Very blurry and the colors are off.
About every 3rd picture I take is just 'ok' the rest are unusable for any thing.
I did notice however that Panoramic Pictures are very clear and colored correctly.
I realize that we are working with a cell phone camera, but I do expect much better than this, especially considering how good my epics camera was - considering it was a cell phone.
This is the only thing on this phone I really can't stand, there are a few annoyances, but this one is bad.

Using the onscreen button, make sure you hold the button, let it focus, then release for it to take the picture.
Speaking of the button options. I wonder if we will have a rom that allows the physical button to react like the on screen button.
On cm7 my evo shift allowed me to use the volume down button exactly like the onscreen button.

Meh, it's a little better with the on screen. Wonder why it acts differently? Seems more natural to use than on screen button.

I noticed when I got my DX2 that the camera is fuzzy on certain surfaces. Such as in my house, when I have the hardwood floor in the shot, it looks like TV snow all over it. You can still see the floor, but it has all kinds of interference. When you actually take the picture its not real notjcable. But if you take a video, it is.
Happens with skin close up, countertops etc. Its almost like reflecting light screws it up.
Anyone else? Should I call VZW? Is this something common for this phone? My original DX didn't do it.

The camera app that is stock is not all that good in my opinion....I had used that first apk for a long time that I posted in your other thread...also as of late I have been using HDR Camera which is good for stills but pictures of people and moving objects it is not the best

I use four different camera apps. Camera ICS+, lgCamera, Camera ZOOM FX, and PRO Zoom Camera 5X.
Ciao!
Greetings,
Just wondering if anyone had their V30 not capture a photo when you pressed the camera button and even hear the 'click'?
I'm not positive but now I'm pretty sure that happened to me a couple of times, weird! or is it me experiencing a senior moment? LOL
Btw, just got the V30 yesterday and I really am loving it but it seems that my V30 is draining battery juice pretty quickly even after the Oreo update.
Regards, Jake
Never mind...

It happens to me some time. Very frustrating. I store my photos on an SD card and wonder if that has something to do with it.
I'm not using an SD card yet as mine will be coming today.
I do experience the exact same issue with my 1 yo V30. I do have an SD card, but I store my pictures and videos on my internal storage.
It is quite frustrating. I have been hesitating for quite a while if it was a misuse or a problem with the hardware/software, but it happened again today and I am 100% sure that I did see the screen flash once. Just looked and the picture isn't there.
Has anyone find a solution for this, other than to manually validate every time that all taken pictures are actually there? :-\
If you take a normal photo and then quickly switch to AI CAM it doesn't save the normal photo for some reason.

Also there was someone a few months ago who would take a picture and IMMEDIATELY close the camera app, then complained that later when he checked the picture wasn't there. Like he would hit the button, close the app in a split second, put the phone in his pocket. He said every time he did that there were no pictures. Then STOP doing that!
Ttakes a second or two for camera to write pictures to memory.... If you close the app before that finishes, yeah. Plus don't you want to see if the picture was framed and focused right?
I said, just keep the app running a few seconds. Let it finish. He said no, that's not how a camera is supposed to be. He acted like something was wrong with his phone instead of his behavior.

He must have been used to how an iPhone works.

Or disposable film camera. Surely iPhone users check their pictures when taking them?

I can only speak for my girl. She takes pictures but don't look at how they came out. iPhone believe it or not takes great pictures. Nothing out of focus. What you see on the screen is exactly how it comes out.
I used to tell her she was doing it wrong as well till I just took random pictures all day while going to work, during work and the train ride home. I was in disbelief but it works.
