My camera really seems to be worse than the S3 so I am starting to think I don't have the settings tweaked. Should I be at the 13 Megapixel setting or 9? Also the pictures are good with flash but the ones without them are worse than my S3 in similar lighting by far!
13mp is a 4:3 aspect ratio, while 9mp is 16:9. I personally prefer 4:3 for photos so I use 13mp.

I agree. I have been disappointed in the camera when compared to my S3. The camera feels slower and I have more blurry pics than I did with my S3.

Try the anti-shake setting. That helped

Yeah, the anti-shake setting does seem to help, but taking pictures in a dim environment (inside my house) without the flash is difficult. Also, for indoor pictures, I've noticed that the actual picture taken looks darker than what is seen on the screen at the time of taking the picture.

It doesn't take a really good picture low light. I usually have flash on auto. and also set my phone to dynamic.

So, your phone doesn't show a darker picture in the Gallery than what's actually on the screen when the shutter closes? And my screen is set to Standard...does that matter?

Yeah, auto-flash and anti-shake seems to be the way to go for dim environments.

Thanks for this fellas. I've not had a chance to use mine inside yet and this is great information to have. Although I do mostly take outside pictures I'm sure the time will come.

With it set on dynamic it makes it brighter on the phone overall. Of course the phone isn't going to be able to take really great low-light pictures but it makes your screen brighter with more vibrant colors.

No matter what I do I get very poor and grainy/blurry photos.
Which settings do you have for various conditions to get the most out of your camera?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Most important:
1) enough light
2) smudge-free lense
Leaving most settings at automatic while applying these 2 rules, usually get me pretty decent pictures... (... For a smartphone, considering its lense and size)

Get Camera360 app, choose HDR-mode and get the most stunning photos ever ................
Superb colour on this camera and sharpness.
the beer tasted good
When I take night time photos, the flash lights up the subject really well but the resulting photo is a bit too dark.
Does anyone have any tips for me on getting a brighter photo when using the flash?
Menu> exposure value> turn it up and hold your phone steady
Otherwise nothing you can do, human eye perceives light on a logrithmic scale while sensor cannot, so what looks bright to us is not to the camera.
Ok, I will give it a go.
Thanks mate

I get the same but its because I use auto brightness. Because brightness is low during night pics I just increase it and the pics look great.

Are you talking about the screen auto brightness or a camera setting?

hello,
After comparing photos of different mobiles at a birthday party i realised that RAZR's photos where kind of zoomed in, although at settings it was zoomed out.
Is our lens different than other mobiles?
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I noticed that too. Seems like its just the way the lense is.

But is a huge difference compared to other cameras! This its the only reason i cannot user RAZR as my default camera..

Have you made sure it's set to 8MP and not 6MP? If it's set to 6MP it seems to zoom it in to make the image fit the whole screen.

Wow I took some pictures over this weekend and noticed it was really zoomed in/annoying to set up. Changing this setting helped a crapton, thank you!

Never realized that can make a difference. Actually, mine was the other way around when I unchecked the box for 8mp its zoomed out.

8mp is the way to go.
The default value is so wrong, is far too zoomed in...

Would like to ask why Samsung display is a little worst in resolution in gaming apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I mean the display when you are on home screen. The resolution is clear. But when in apps. The color isn't that good and resolution is bad.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I think the display is pretty good
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well you have to acknowledge that the display has a pentile matrix which means that it has two sub pixels instead of 3. That equates to roughly 1045x588 effective resolution for thé screen.
It could also be the fault of the game itself.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Ahh. Thanks for the reply. But the color is slightly different from the iPad hd display. Anyone feels it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
In display settings try turning off auto adjust screen tone. Check if power saving is off. Also try different screen color profiles in display settings. Default is standard, may be a more vivid color option will suit you

A lot of apps are badly ported from iDevices, and unfortunately, graphics seems to be the part that suffers most from this. native Android-apps, as far as I can see, has the sharp look I expect from this display, and compared to an iRetina display, has an almost equal quality.
The screen mode is particularly important, and should be changed if you find the colors on your display to vivid or unrealistic.
I myself tried changing to a more toned down mode, but got a weird B&W-feeling (I've gotten used to the SG3 display), and had to change back.

Autobrightness or full

Which is the best.

Dynamic with auto brightness.

Auto brightness is just too dark for me. Auto brightness OFF, slider at 75% and Natural. I used to use Dynamic, and I'm thrilled we we have the option, but every now and then with Dynamic on an images color will look just completely blown out and I ended up moving it back to Natural which is still plenty saturated with the Super AMOLED display.

Dynamic and Auto-Brightness. There is no 'best' option. It's just personal preference. I like the saturated colors I get with Dynamic, and I dont watch movies on phones anymore so it doesnt bug me. I keep a brightness toggle on my drawer so if I show co-workers some video clips or something I can wow them with a super bright display
I just use natural and auto
Standard w/auto brightness. Love this freaking phablet!

You pretty much have to lower the setting if you want natural colors. But who wants natural colors on a Samsung device!? Oversaturation ftw.
Try lux auto brightness....

Yeah I hate the washed out natural color look. I am perfectly aware that the Standard screen mode is way too saturated to be accurate color representation but imho, I love it. Especially running Beans ROM with the nice AOSP blue notification icons. Looks gorgeous!
I'm going to have to start playing with these settings!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the guys who mentioned Lux Auto-Brightness. I just purchased it and it really is quite spectacular. I didn't realize we could have this kind of control over our auto brightness. Thanks guys!
auto brightness all day everyday! I don't notice a change in battery life though to be honest

What do you mean, "keep a brightness toggle in my drawer" is there stock, isn't it?
I use auto on standard and when showing others video, tap off the auto in the notifications which switches to full brightness.
I've gotten used to the auto being slightly dinner than I prefer. Wish there was a setting to adjust that.
