I just got my amaze today. I was expecting a stellar camera experience but instead all my photos come out blurry with the stock camera app.
When I switch to CameraFX from the market it takes much better pictures however.
Any way to fix the stock camera? I assume this is not normal judging from the reviews I have read.

I've NEVER been able to get a pic to look like the elite pics in the pic thread. I just chalked it up as "operator dysfunction."
Maybe I will try a different camera app.

blurry camera
yea i also experience same.all my photos come out blurry with the stock camera app.
Just gotta play around with it, those other apps focus were and when you want them to, unlike the stock one. Never hurts to have a second one.

My stock camera is fine. Hit menu and check the resolution. Mine was set at low resolution by default. That and the other options.
It also helps to have a steady hand since it has a quick shutter

That's very true. It's fairly easy to get a bad snapshot if your not used to it.
I have not had a single issue like that. I think the stock camera is sick and I have tested alot if other camera apps.

tweak your brightness to contrast ratio and one key thing is always to get a good steady pic is set your camera in/on time mode (2 seconds is enough to hold it steady..)

Will the camera improve once we get the official 2.3.4 update?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Does your camera have a PROBLEM or is it just unsatisfactory?
The upgrade you're talking about hasn't improved camera quality. Some say it's worse, with a few minor improvements... but it's difficult to judge. What I'm confident about though is that it probably isn't going to dazzle anyone judging from the preliminary feedback. No one is ranting and raving about it unfortunately.
Agree, the camera does not produce very good pictures, mine are not focused, blury, dull etc., have not complained since it is not on top of my list but would be very happy if it could be improved, as it is at the moment not much use for taking acceptable pictures.
lol, NO ONE knows how much it will improve the camera or not, only Motorola does im sure, or testers. we have topics covering this. i have posted a topic about it with many pictures. we wont know how much the camera will be improved until the "real" release (OTA). the hongkong or whatever one isnt the official release. the people thinking the camera in that one is what it will look like in the OTA need to think again. There is a app called Camera 360 you should download and try, if you like it buy it. it improves the quality/color alot. if you put it on enhance or HDR mode.
The issue i have is the flash in the stock at, it doesnt capture at the right moment lol. with focus it think it does very well. also make you wipe it off well, it gets dirty easy i have noticed. when HTC releases the mytouch 4gslide i will most likely go to it cause its supposed to have a great camera, etc. as well as nokias N9 that looks great.
My pictures are just fine. This isn't an slr or even a point-n-shoot. It's a camera phone with a lens 3/16th of an inch in diameter.
First thing anyone should do with any phone is clean the lens before taking pictures. Grease and dirt from your hands will make pictures appear to be dull, out of focus, and blurry. My phone takes decent pictures. Could it be better? Yes. Is it good enough? Also a yes for a phone camera.

I wanted to say this, but my post count isn't high enough. I ASSUMED that people would know this. And oddly, I didn't have as much of an issue with needing to make sure the lens is clean on my last phone as I do with the Atrix. I wonder if it's because my last phone had the lens in the middle and the Atrix lens is at the edge?

I came to the Atrix from an iPhone 4. Generally, I love Android and everything about my Atrix, to the point where I even bought the hyper-expensive webtop thing (with the debian mod, of course). But the camera being better than the iPhone? I would say you're seeing through rose-colored glasses, but given how the Atrix takes pictures, tulip-colored glasses may be more appropriate.
Don't know what all the qq is about. I just shot 300 pictures of a vacation. Only a few bad apples.

If you want a better camera , I am sorry to say you will need to buy a stand-alone.
what dont you like about it? I think its pretty damn good.
Are you using a custom ROM? I know some of them mess with the camera in a bad way.
Coming from an iPhone 4 (which I loved taking pictures with) the GS2 is so much better. Especially when using an alternative camera app such as Camera Zoom FX.
Hell, the images look on par with pics taken with my fiancees 4s. The dof and fov loom better on the 4s. But, the gs2 has better color accuracy and sharpness. The flash is also much better.

It isn't better? So what's wrong with it? I agree that the camera app for the captivate was great.
But to complain about the one in this phone is like complaining about the 2012 Bentley, in that it's like the 2011's.

Just because it's similar doesn't mean it needs to be replaced. I think it is a great app, better than the captivate's.

Yeah, this happens to me as well. I rarely change the settings, but it is kind of annoying.
i like the camera on this phone, nice colors and clarity.
Well the main difference between a 5 MP camera on the Captivate and the 8 MP on this phone is the size of the picture, nothing more. And yeah, the Captivate had an epic camera already, and at such high numbers, I guess the jump isn't that high...

The Captivate did have an excellent camera, however taking presentable quality indoor shots under
normal lighting conditions day or night was a impossibility due to the Captivate's lack of flash.
(not to mention that outdoor dawn or night shots of people were impossible without flash)
I have to agree that i'm disappointed in the camera. A few things i notice:
- the captivate seems to handle incandescent and "soft white" CFLs a lot better.
- while it's nice having a flash.. it's just too bright. wish there was a way to dim in in software
- when i make EV adjustments: there seems to be almost no noticeable difference between 0 and +2. -2 how ever is a fairly drastic change (as it should be).
- when set to spot meter on the captivate, i could aim at the darker parts of a subject to get the image brighter.
- the front camera seems to deal with warm lights better than the main.
So far, i suspect that there might be a max shutter speed somewhere and that's why doing +EV doesn't work in low light.
When i have time, i will try various test shots.
One test i should also try is to use the digital zoom, so the flash is farther away from the subject.
Another thing i notice is i feel the screen is overly saturated and dark compared to the captivate when both are set to auto.
the only thing I agree with is that the LED flash is very bright at times. Otherwise, the camera is top notch. If you need a better camera, get a standalone.

Well the lines only seam to occur in the viewfinder. When I take the picture, they're either gone or nearly completely invisible. So for 20 bucks this turned out to be a good deal

Yeah the lines are harder to see in the actual picture but it can be annoying when taking pictures in darker settings. As for the focus on the front cam, it's a little hard cause you need to have the camera plugged in to see when it is actually in focus. I just used some tweesers and angled the camera towards me a little so I could still see on the screen what the cam was pointing at and focused it that way. It's still a good setup for the average user, so $20 isn't a loss.

True. This app functions but its not nearly up to the same quality as the one Ss burst mode. The one S can burst up to 99 shots with hardly any delay between shots at all. This app has substantially more delay than the one S burst mode, but its still pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see if anyone ports the one S camera over to the amaze the way they did the sensation.

The intro is in Chinese, but once you scroll through it you get to the English menus and interface.
I downloaded the most recent version (3.5) and installed it on my rooted G2. Boy! What a better app! Seems to have a better AE method and there are a lot of very cool options to toy with while retaining manual control.
I've been using it for an hour now and I really like it.

funny thing i noticed though..in video, mode, it shows a couple stuck white pixels.
they aren't there on the stock camera. i'm wondering if the software is a bit glitchy when it comes to third party video cameras. i noticed this on the GPE camera as well. weird right?
I've been comparing some identical shots between stock camera and super camera, and I'm surprised to see that Super Camera actually looks better. There is more detail and it's a little darker so it doesn't appear washed out. I wouldn't have complained about the stock camera since it's great, but this looks even better.
I haven't tried many lighting conditions, so it might be worse in some cases. I haven't tried video either, but I noticed an option for image stabilization. I think it's software stabilization, but I wonder if it works in conjunction with OIS. Anyone know?
