What happens is that whenever I use the front camera, It shows normal result, I take a picture and it's cool but whenever I start recording, the screen goes dark, dull as if there's no light in the room. Same with every other application I use like snapchat. This really sucks and I hope there's a solution to fix this.
I faced the same issue with my old S2 but I thought it might be some kind of hardware issue but it actually wasn't.

I'm having weird issues with video recording. If I start filming in bright light, the frame rate is abysmal (about 2 fps). In normal room lighting there is no problem and the frame rate is good enough.
The weird part is that if I start recording in the room light and step out side to very bright day light, the frame rate stays good. And if I start in bright light with bad fps it stays bad no matter the lighting.
Anyone else having this issue?
edit: my phone is stock and is running OS version 7.10.7740.16
Hmmm, my phone has the same configuration as yours: Stock rom and everything. I tried what you said, recording from bright light to room & vice versa, but my transitions seem to be smooth with no lags :/ I believe your camera is on it's default settings?
When in camera mode, try panning the camera from bright light to dim & vice versa, see if there are any lags of choppiness in between the transition. If there isn't, there shouldn't be any problems. If there is, I'm not sure what's causing it.
Does anyone here has had this issue as well?
I've tried to do just like you told and I have some example videos but I can't link to them as I'm new member (joined 2008, never written anything before
Couple a days I did some filming outside and I had to start recording by covering the lens with my finger every time to get normal fps. This way it works fine and I get good quality.
I don't know if it has something to do with that there's really bright outside during day because all the snow here but I can also replicate the problem by pointing camera to my monitor.
This is new issue for me too as it was working fine untill now.
btw. It seems to work fine if I use VGA quality.
I just hope I don't have to reset my phone.
Hmmm, I guess no else has had this problem. But this is a really unique one since VGA works, there's no reason why 720p isn't working. Perhaps bringing the phone to the service center might be of help? :/

Hi joaquim! Dont feel lonely, i also have this problem on my mozart phone. I've made a search on youtube, and i also noted that there are several users with the same problem.
I also have another problem, it gets difficult to change from the phone mode to video mode. Every time i press the cam icon to change the mode to video, i hear some clicks inside the phone and the imagem starts to focus. I have to click several times until i can change the mode.
Also, i see no solution for this
your not alone i have this problem too and it happened on my stock rom and even now on the latest custom rom that i installed. I have not tried the finger trick though.
I also tried doing some searching and the only thing i found pointed at possible sd card issues...i have swapped out the deafault 8gb sdcard for a 16gb one and they state that if it is not class 5/6 then it could be too slow writing 720p data.
but like you i have no problem recording 720p indoors just outside or in bright light....
I have noticed that this only occurs in 720p mode, in VGA mode works fine though
I got a HTC one MAX off of eBay and after receiving the phone when I was checking I found that the camera was not working properly (unable to focus with weird sounds, front camera works perfectly fine though) whenever I tried opening it, there was a strange noise coming from near the camera module. I have taken a short video and you can hear the sound in it and it looks like phone is confused as to focus or not. The sound is similar to a bee trapped inside the phone buzzing. Any idea what it might be? Hardware issue? Here is the link to the video.

Looks like hardware. Have had my max apart a couple times. I think it would be easy to replace the camera if not under warranty anymore.
Yeah I guessed so. You think the issue will be resolved by changing just the camera module? And how hard is it to take apart the phone? I have experience in taking apart phones, have done it with my droid DNA and lot of other models. I just want to check out what a making that sound. Thanks for the reply though.

I'm already on the latest software version. Ill try flashing another Rom and see if it helps else I will have to replace the camera module I guess. Thanks for the response.
I tried several custom rims including AOSP and sense but can't seem to rectify the camera problem. Guess it's a hardware fault. Will have to change the camera module, anyone has any idea where I can get one who provides international shipping?

When you shake your phone you will see that the lens in the camera is loose. When you shed light on buzzing camera you will see it vibrating and stoping when you bring a magnet closer.
Phone vibrations over time tend to loosen the attachment of the lens in the back camera
Hey guys,
Sometimes when I launch my camera, it makes a loud buzzing noise and has trouble focusing. It seems like something is getting in the way of the lens not allowing it to move freely. If I shake really quickly it usually stops and works like it should. I don't know if it's a lens issue or am issue with the OIS. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you found a solution? This is my second S6 Edge. The first one succumbed to the auto rotate bug. Thanks for your time.

I was facing the same issue from the past 3-4 days. It starts buzzing (not all the time, but frequent enough to get me mad) when you open the camera app, and might stop the buzing if you try to focus manually.
I went to Samsung service center yesterday, and they did confirm it was a fault camera hardware (don't know the much details yet). They ordered new camera hardware and expected delivery date by tomorrow.
Hoping, the new camera module be with out any issues.
To any one, i have been using the phone for the past ~2 months, and saw this issue occurring in the past 3-4 days. Is any one facing the same issue?
Maybe i will send an e-mail, and see whats happening with these Camera hardware...
Recently, in all camera apps my G5's auto focus doesn't work properly and keeps the scene blurry. It sometimes works for a second and then turns back blurry. The manual focus used to be able to work but now, it doesn't change anything. Any tips?
Sounds like a possible hardware issue. Have you dropped or done anything to the phone ?

Yeah I've had a few minor drops but nothing too serious.
Hey guys, im having a issue with the front camera. everytime i took a selfie, the camera waits about 2-3 sec and then take the photo. i had a s7 edge before and didnt have this problem. anyone knows how to fix this? its annoiyng...
me too i have lag
Disable flash and try again.
I think its caused by latest firmware update.
I'm on ARI6. I have no shutter lag unless it's trying to focus first. It's instant. As one person said, turn off the flash. That caused a "lag" but the screen turned white with a yellow lightning bolt. Thise the only pauses I've seen when using the front facing camera.
