whenever i take a picture, these lines are always visible. is this a defect or the camera just needs an update? likewise, the pictures are noisy. i tried working on the settings but to no avail.

I think it is just your device. Everything seems to be fine in my camera.
Try to take your phone back for a replacement.
Change the ISO settings in your camera app. Your ISO is probably too high. I had that problem today and I freaked out!
In a moment of inspiration it occurred to me to change the ISO and it worked. Try setting it to "auto".
have tried different camera settings. and sometimes the lines are not there and sometimes the lines are there. however, i noticed the lines are frequent when i use flash to take picture.

is it possible you accidentally changed some camera settings or camera mode?
Try going to the camera settings menu (bottom left corner of the camera app), scroll that menu all the way out, and pick "reset". This will reset your camera to factory settings. See if the problem still persists.
Or it could be too dark, and auto mode cannot focus. you need to engage night mode. but first try setting reset above.

My guess would be you've switched the macro function on at some point (either deliberately or accidentally) and then forgotten to switch back to auto-focus (I had the same problem with mine until I realised what it was!).
Go to Settings down in the bottom left of the camera screen, then select 'Focus Mode' and change back to 'Auto focus'.
I didnt turn anything on or off, i flashes the firmware to ke7. but it stopped working before i flashed. also i have reset the cam settings tons of times, nothing seems to work. it goes out of focus right after it starts focusing, and then the red bare thing comes up
It is obviously software issues, because its gets perfectly focussed before it goes blurry again
Hmm is it the macro mode issue that I read about?
Never heard anything like what you are describing, sorry.
Please do update this thread if you figure out the issue.
re-flash or update the camera's firmware
+1 to this problem. It's frustating.
I got the same problem. I just give the phone a tap on the back and it starts working again. Its so weird... i'm thinking my camera autofocus is dodgy/stuck
Try Settings >Applications >Manage Aplications > All > Camera > clear DATA
Or are you sure there is no dust on the Lens????? Trying wiping it clean
If both the above Dont work ... I dont you and you dont know me
bump..
have the same issue...
no focus at all in video mode.
i reset the camera setting a few times, delete all data from the camera app, still no luck.
my cam FW is :
cam fw ver : scef02
phone fw ver : tbec28
please advise as this is getting really frustrating...
many thanks.
Samsung I9100 camera focus problem
Hi,
I have the same issue as described above. Perhaps it occured just as I updated to Android version 2.3.3, not sure but could be.
Anyone found a solution to this problem?
auto focus doesn't work correctly out of the box
Hello,
Just got a brand new GSII from Sprint; awesome!! AutoFocus though is CRAZY and possessed!! it will be in focus then go out of focus... non-stop... did this from day one; Running 2.3.4 does not seem to do this with the still camera.
I'm having the same problem. I tried switching roms, going back to stock, nothing helped. Anyone having a solution? It is a software issue, because 3 days ago mine was working for like 5 min..
bump.bump.bump
!
I had the same problem but disappeared cleaning the lens from the fingerprints and grease
I finally rooted and the flashed Galnet Miui, but then the quality of photos dropped. So I flashed another ROM, same results. So now i restored backup of my original ROM and it got better, but still nowhere near the quality of pre-root.
So I messed up camera for nothing =/
I have the same problem, with one small difference, i dropped the phone in the toilet. Got it dry, changed the camera and now I have this focus problem. In camera mod, if I touch the screen the camera will focus, but it doesn't focus from the moment I start the Camera app. So since the camera don't auto-focus by itself when I go into video mod the image is all blurry.

Okay... seems like a minor issue but it's driving me nuts. I have no idea how long it's been an issue. I just found out today when I needed to take some photos in a quiet setting.
As long as my "Capture Tone" setting in my camera app is checked (allowing the shutter sound) the camera works fine. But when I uncheck it (to silence the shutter sound), the camera will not take a photo. Just in case, I tried in all resolution settings.
When I uncheck that setting and then go touch the "shutter" button to take a photo, it acts like it is trying to take the picture, then makes a strange click that I can actually *feel* in my phone, then it just goes back to the live viewfinder view as if it's ready to take a photo without having taken the photo I just attempted to take!
Then if I go check the "Capture Tone" setting, everything works fine! Any ideas how to resolve this or what may have caused this issue?

That does seem odd. If you're bootloader unlocked with CWM, maybe give the droid 3 camera a shot. The checkbox worked, and took a silent picture for me..
the camera settings in build.prop can be modified, I believe they're towards the bottom. There is a setting for the shutter tone there, I would mess with that. make a backup first.
I dont have this prob on Alien#4, I disabled shutter sound on day one and have taken at least a hundred pics since. Before Alien I had experienced the strange internal click vibration you spoke of, but not since.
I would like to see the whole photo for a few seconds after I take it. How do I get this functionality?
On my old phone the Camera app would show a still of the photo after I took it. This helped with 2 things: It confirmed I took the photo, and I could tell if I needed to reshoot. Instead it shows in a tiny box in the corner. I came back from a trip and many photos are blurry. I have scoured the settings and it is not very obvious if this functionality is available. Is there a setting that can enable it?
Stock camera doesn't do preview, use a different app like CameraZoom from the play store if you can't live without it- it gives same quality picture but with more options to choose from.
I take several pictures then delete the ones that are blurry or people have their eyes closed etc. The stock camera has a best picture setting that does a similar thing.
Hey all, so I got the unlocked US model of the G5. First thing I noticed is a scratch on the back on the paint near the camera. I was upset, but thinking if I returned it, I'd get something worse back.
Anyways, when I went to use Snapchat, I noticed if everything is on the dark side I can see some lines on the video/photo viewfinder and it stays in photos/videos if it shows while recording. So far this only appears to happen in Snapchat, so I'm hoping it's something with the app, as it doesn't show in the stock camera. (See sample video below)
Can anyone who uses Snapchat check if this is a thing?
Sample: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8OF-gTbFNmSVVdLSlAtdGdYUWM (that's South Park in the background fyi)
Thanks for any input!
I think if you have your phone in any version of English other than US, it will change the anti-banding setting in all camera apps. I can't watch the video right now, but it sounds like what you're describing. Snapchat is working just fine for me.

I don't think that's the problem. I'm in the U.S. and have it set to U.S. (just tried UK, as well).
It comes and goes and only on the right side of the screen.
I noticed also in the stock camera app it seems the viewfinder "lags" (has lots of motion blur) while taking photos., causing some photos to come out blurry. This never happened on my G5 H815.
My snapchat is the same, I get those lines down too
I have a Verizon G5 and have those exact issues in Snapchat. Strange, dully colored vertical lines when moving the rear camera, and a dark front camera.
The front seems to be a bit better from an update, but I'm thinking they have no idea how to code for the dual cameras.
I have the same problem on my g5 rs988
Update your Snapchat app, the issues I use to have is that front camera flashes on snapchat when trying to use it in low light photos or rooms, inside places, etc. Otherways the photo came extremaly grainy too, but no that lines.
Later I joined beta and it seems solved now i dont see that flashes from black to light or grainy selfies, even the resolution looks like normal camera even in low light
Same for me with G5 H850
The snapchat camera is fixed now.
I have started experiencing this issue with my galaxy s9+.
The camera no longer capture those impressive shots which it used to capture last month or until few weeks ago.
Now the photos are blur and focus is very bad.
Anyone facing similar issue.
Can anyone help me fix it?
My camera is capturing photos, the shots which it used take were very impressive and now the quality has become very bad all of sudden.
Please see the 1st photo in white t-shirt. It is few weeks ago.
The second photo in black t-shirt is captured now. It is very blur. No matter how many times I try or change location or light condition. Photos are very blur and focus is very bad.
FYI... I reset the camera settings and clean the partition cache several times.
Thanks for your help.

To see if it's the hardware or the software, I would suggest you try the same photo setup with a DIFFERENT camera application to see if the problem is in all the camera apps or in just the one you're using.
Each camera app will have its own set of settings which may help you debug, e.g., the GCam port has these settings screenshotted below which can help you debug such as "dirty lens warning" and resolution setup.
But the SIMPLEST camera app to test might be this FOSS camera app from Mark Harmon. If that doesn't work, nothing will.
There is also the free "camera2api" probe utility program which may provide hardware malfunction indicators.
