Hi!
I noticed that you must hold RAZR really firmly, nearly rock solid to take sharp photo. If your hand tremble a bit, you going get blury photo.
I think that is software issue. Like tooking picture to slow or something.
Is there any way to improve it (MOD or App)?
I won't buy stand for RAZR to take sharp pics.
You'll need a faster shutter speed, the camera defaults to a low shutter speed to keep the ISO down (increasing the ISO increases the noise in the picture).
Sadly, I haven't found any apps that can control the shutter speed yet. Your chances are better with a lot of light, though!
It's not satisfiying for me. Tell me... There are chances to improve it in future, or camera hardware isn't good?
I use Camera Zoom FX instead of the camera. It's got an option for stabilizing the camera while taking the shot. Plus, I feel like the picture quality sounds better compared to the ones taken by the stock camera application.
Give it a try.
Okay. Thanks.
I'll check it out

Been using Camera Zoom FX too. Great replacement for stock camera so far, but in terms of Video capture, I would suggest for the default app in order to use HD capture..
Hey.. I've looked so hopefully its cool that I post about the Tmobile galaxy s 3 front facing camera quality issue... when I aim the cam at myself, the quality looks great until I take the actual picture and then its kinda washed out and looks like its been edited with the smooth option.
Anyone aware of this or find it annoying? I wonder why it reverts to a horrible quality after you snap the pic.
Unedited pic just now

Try taking pictures in well lit room or outdoor sunny pics come out crisp the sensor on the camera dosn't do to well in low light you can try to turn up the iso on in settings but it over saturates the pic in my option . Btw Hyper X has a nice mod that dose improve overall image quality and Video quality on the S3 however i have had very little success trying to get it to work on the US variant past 720p mode in video mode i swapped my phone for I9300 and the mod works perfect. check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145 hope this helps .
try not expect too much from a 1.9 mp camera sensor
This is not only with the front facing cam, but also with the one on the back.
When I take the picture, it looks great, but when I view it... it's washed out and looks more ugly.
Looking for a fix for this.
YZ.
I think I found it out.
When you enter the camera app, you phone sets the brightness level to 100 %, but when you view it, if your brightness is lower than 100 %, the picture looks washed out.
Try setting the brightness to 100 %.

I will recommend use to use Camera360 instead of stock camera app. It has significant improvemance. I have tested many and Camera360 DOES make difference!
Nope.. its the camera.. again, when aiming at myself (front facing) the quality looks great on the screen but when its taken, the quality looks less than vga quality... why does that happen?? I may return the phone

I have the same problem but maybe I am being paranoid I wish more people can submit photos so I can compare :\
The phone has an 8Mpx camera, but the pictures it takes look like a poor 3.2mpx quality photo. Is there no camera mod to fix this, or at the very least improve photo quality?

Did u check the settings in camera?
I feel stock always does the job, but I doubt there's anything in there that makes the pics blurry. My cam FW is SCEF02-TBEC28

?
Again did u check the settings? Just in camera app>settings... there maybe is a lower quality activated?!
Otherwise can u give us a preview to see a bit more clear what u mean?
CHEERS
Theres a camera thread in the general section.....I posted in it today asking for firmware.
Hi Guys,
Ever since ICS and now JellyBean roms the camera quality has worsened...virtually unusable in poor lighting, night pictures impossible and very bad focusing even in good lighting, no detail in pictures and zooming in is just a blur....cheapest no-name camphones from china shoot better pictures than this
The Amaze camera from Gingerbread roms was the best.
How can I get decent pictures again with my EVO 3D...? this is supposed to be a shooteroo

For night time, you just have to put on the torch before you capture the image.
As far as the rest, it is what it is.
A torch is ok when your subject is 4 feet away but doesnt fix the camera...Gingerbread Amaze camera was far better and even had a night shot modus
Have you tried taking a night shot in the street for example? You only see the few lights and everything else is pitch black...
Yeah. Because of the low light and this cameras weird autofocus parameters, I've always had to use the finger technique.
If only they added the manual switch for us. But nope, they had to be scrubs.
The zoom-in blur is due to the fact that it's not a hardware zoom, it's a software zoom, so it blows up the picture, and then cuts out the edges. The quality would be terrible anyways. But, the camera quality should be OK. Look into Pimp My ROM, I changed my cam quality and it has been pretty noticeable for me, due to ROMs having really bad camera configurations, lol.
I meant zoom in into normal pictures...
For example a picture of several people huddled together, when I enlarge (zoom in) everybody is out of focus
which pimp my rom, is it an app?

Yup, it's an application available for free in the Play Store, it's basically an AIO app for tweaking your phone if you have root access. And are you talking about how, if you take a picture, it looks completely fine zoomed out, but if you try to blow it up (double-tap zoom), it looks low quality? If you are, that's also in the Pimp my ROM app, I personally don't know how to make this better by hand, I do know that PMR has it. But it has to do with it being JPEG, which is highly compressed image type, hence low quality.
Thanks, I was thinking more along the lines of a new camera app than a complete rom pimping app...
If you remember Amaze camera from Gingerbread used to be very good.....
I asked in the Yoda thread if it was possible to install that in ICS but its not---

I've honestly never used the Amaze camera, the camera on my ROM seems to be working completely fine to me, then again I always resize my images for size issues, which tends to fix up the blurs in the process.
So I finally got the phone and it is beautiful. Though when I use snapchat I mostly use my front facing camera, and it is really not that good. Is this bothering anyone else, or is it my phone? There is a lot of distortion/noise on the picture and even my S3 front facing is better. The main camera is really great though.

I can confirm that on snapchat the front camera quality goes right down.
Seems better in the camera app, could be snapchat issue?

Yeah I tried the camera app, and while taking the picture it is exactly like on snapchat, but when you look at it after the shot is taken most of the noise is gone. Still on snapchat the noise is still there. It is a lot better in light, but terrible in medium light.

Yeah same here. Have actually been searching around the internet these last couple of days to see if anybody else has the same issue.
Front camera is fine in the day, but when inside, even with artificial lighting (nothing major like florescent lights) it goes grainy, like blue and red pixels flying about the screen.
And yes, the picture does improve when the picture processing takes place on the camera app and on Instagram.
But unfortunately, this picture processing does not happen on Shapchat so you get very bad shots in the dark.
It's not a huge issue for me as in most cases, say good to above advantage lighting conditions. the front camera is good enough for small things like Snapchat. But when things do get dark, the image processing can improve things when taken on the camera app.
Oh and the rear camera? Well, no complaints there :good:
I will post some shots later when it gets a bit dark here and see if you can compare
Cheers

Same here! Its annoying that in anything but perfect natural light is goes rubbish.
I found the new "video chat" type function is pretty poor on forward facing camera too. Slightly better on skype, but still not fantastic. The people I am speaking to on iPhones, it is crystal clear, but on my side its pretty awful. Have you noticed the audio when recording a snap video is pretty poor too? This could be where I am holding it, as my fingers tend to be at the bottom of the phone, so maybe I am blocking a mic?
