Hello, my camera produce photos horrible quality. Is there a fix?
Thank you
I always have to tap the screen to focus on what I want in focus for my pics to be clear have you tried that?
Of course.

Well, it's a Motorola -of course the camera is crap
But to be honest, the photos your Razr is taking are much worse than normal.
I assume that you have cleaned the lens and set the exposure time to automatic and that you hold the camera still while taking a photo. Furthermore you wait until the rectangle that shows the focus becomes green.
So it could be a hardware problem -maybe the lens does not fit correctly or it's another failure during assembling. In this case you should get a replacement.
It could also be a software problem, I'd try to download a free camera software from the market, place your phone on a rigid surface and shoot a photo. Does it look as blurry as the previous ones I guess you should get a replacement.
I attached two photos I made right now...colour reproduction isn't good with Moto cameras but sharpness should not be a problem.
I tried other camera apps (camera zoom fx, camera ultimate 360) and result is the same.
I read elsewhere that someone else DL'd the Camera Zoom FX app and it made a world of difference.
Whenever I shoot macro mode, the pictures come out blurry. I can't even get a good picture of a paper documentation I have on my desk. I tried normal mode, and it also produces poor quality. Anyone else having this problem? I know it's not the megapixels because I always use 3MP on my Note1 and get great usable results.
Also, outside here in Portland we are having great sunny days. I took some shots, but the sky's blue color looks like as if it was mosaic-ed or something. I really wish it had better quality. I know there's a firmware update for the international version that has some changes on the camera performance, but because we have a AT&T crap, we are going to be stuck for a long time.
Overall I love my phone even though there are some quirks such as gaps between the speaker grill and body, and screen/speaker grill are not leveled. Piss-poor quality control even with the awesome uni-body.
Did you try the "text" scene option? I havent had any problems with macro focus

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
I bought my wife and I this phone because we had a baby recently and wanted to get some nice pics. No matter what I do or what settings I change, the shutter is slow and the slightest motion will yield a blurry pic. Not the whole pic but anything that was in motion will be blurry. Any movement at all ruins a shot. Even sports mode and burst take blurry shots. So does pro mode.
I have held it steady before and after shots, used voice activation to reduce shake, and put it on stable surface. I have tried lowering resolution, changing storage location, turning off 3 sec pre-pic video, turning off HDR, killing all apps, restarting phone, clearing cache and so on and so on. And no I do not have the protective film on the lense.
I have seen others online complaining about blurry pics too but I am not seeing solutions. I came from a Note 4 and did not have these complaints. My wife has the same issues. It is unlikely we both got defective devices.
Somebody I know has the S8 and we took pics of each other waving to see results and theirs was clear and my pic of them had a blurry hand. This was in a well lit room.
Is this Note 8 camera just lousy? Try taking a picture of your hand waving or fingers wiggling. See mine attached. I was not moving that fast and press to track my hand. Is anybody else noticing this? Is there a solution?
The solution is to take photos in better light. Take that same photo with a full camera and no flash and see if there is any marked difference.
If there is not enough light for the conditions of the photo, your camera will have to open the aperture for a longer period. The longer it is open, the more blur you will see. This is especially true when moving something like a finger that moves 'quickly'.
Try the same thing in daylight and see where you stand.
Those previous shots were under a dining room light that is bright. It was well lit. If you are saying I can only take shots in full daylight and get a good shot, then this is not a good camera.
I took a photo in my office in a well lit room and got a blurry hand. I took the same shot at the same time using voice activation on my coworkers S8 and hers was not blurry. Mine is attached.
Has anyone else noticed a change in colour/saturation between different lens modes?
For instance my wide angle lens seems more washed out than the main 1.0x lens.
Kind regards
Yes
i dont even know how to utilize each lens hahahs
This would be normal in my opinion. You have 3 different lenses of different quality (the main 1x being superior). You also have different zooms which means the auto white balance will probably be different since the scene on each is different. You also have a different amount of light entering each meaning different iso and/or exposure time.
This will all have a slight impact on the output of the picture. To get the closest look you would probably need to shoot raw.
That said, take a look at the 3 pictures I took of some frame in the room I'm staying at. I find the 3 to be relatively comparable (all taken in auto, master AI off). The 0.6x white balance is a bit off. It also look a bit blurry since the crop for the frame is much more exaggerated than the other 2.
I've noticed some white balance difference when taking shots outside mostly between the 1x and 3x lenses but like I said, sort of expected outcome. If you want to make sure it looks almost identical, you'll have to start playing with manual white balance, pro mode and possibly raw.
A real life example of 2 shots I took recently on a trip. One with the 0.6x, other with 1x. In this case, I'd say the 0.6x colors are slightly more vivid. Again, that's just the auto post processing of the phone based on overall scene exposure (these were also auto, ai off).
In lightroom I could probably get both to look identical even having shot them in jpg format.
Anyway, hopefully this all helps?

That's brilliant thanks alot. Makes a lot of sense. I'm still getting used to this camera and have taken a few great photos so far but seems to be a lot of trial and error finding the best mode for a certain situation.
Nice pictures by the way.
Thanks again.
My tip to you: I stay in auto mode, ai turned off for almost all pictures only switching to portrait or aperture when needed.
I sometimes adjust exposure in high contrast scenes by tapping where I want to focus and then dragging the little sun icon up or down. I've almost never used pro mode as I was usually happy with the outcome.
