Ok, it seems like every picture taken under the conditions mentioned above(sorry forgot to write them: natural light, inside my room, pretty much a well lit room, besides the fact i didn't turn on the lights) and everything else set on auto, have the same result. I get either a blurry shot, without the antishake option and a noisy one, when having antishake on.
Also i would like to mention, that this particular behaviour happens in a rather well lit environment. The only time i get acceptable results is when i go out and shoot in the natural sunlight.
Is this normal?
You didn't list any conditions above.
Let me just add some examples, maybe you will understand what i'm talking about a little bit better
1. camera ics+
2. camera zoom fx
3. stock samsung camera
4. lg camera pro
Your iso settings are wrong. Change it to auto.

As i already mentioned, my iso settings are set to auto. Any ideas?
i m having same issues, suddenly, the in door shots are coming with horrible noise

it's normal for a cell phone camera - or any type of small sensor camera, actually
Well then, why other camera apps shoot a little bit better? My old Samsung Omnia was a better shooter in this regard. Also, could you provide some photos too?

I did, but my iso is always on auto nevertheless
I would try three things:
- Set ISO manually. I don't have an S3, but with my S2 I get the best results by setting ISO manually.
- Turn antishake off. In general, electronic stabilization adds noise (unlike mechanical/optical stabilization which does not add noise).
- Try to hold the phone a still as possible while taking the picture.
That said, keep in mind that any small sensor camera like what you have in any phone is not going to perform well without good lighting. However the S3 should be one of the best of the phone cameras.
yes u r right that while using antishake option it produces noise thats y its off by default!! and u r wrong that it is blurry bcoz if antishake is off my gs3 takes noise free perfect pictures its has a gud BSI sensor (Cmos) try not to shake ur hands while taking pic.!
contrast is not automatic...

automatic contrast does lead to more noise on mine (judging from the preview window)

my first gs3 phone's pictures were immaculate in doors and out, but i had overheating issues so i got a replacement...this new phones camera does this...too much noise, didn't have that with the first phone the replacement phones case came damaged so i'm hoping to exchange it once more...hopefully the next phone won't have this camera problem....
I have the same issue, I've been comparing the pics with my S2 and results are really bad indoor, except with flash. much better than S2 with flash! im really puzzled
I had posted here my cam firmware version, I'm wondering if it's the camera app or else

okay....i am not sure whether you guys have knowledge about photography
exposure is measured by 3 component
ISO, shutter speed, and aperture
as long you have sufficient light (outdoor during daylight), lowest ISO will be used by the camera and it results no noise
ISO --- sensitivity to light
you will have noise or sometimes blur in door or low light situation...
that is because aperture of camera has opened wide then it results other two components compensate to maintain proper exposure
that will increase higher ISO (more noise) and shutter speed is slower to get more light ...
hope this explains why

I dont think you understand that I have S3 and S2 with me and test them under the exactly same conditions and results are very different from all the tests of S3 on the web which clearly show that S3 takes better pics.
hm....it's hard to explain...unless you have DSLR and know how to do manual setting...
besides i am referring this to OP thread,NoOneCanHelpMe why there is camera blur and noise
Guys please share your views on camera quality.i have flashed it 2 times but both the time i had to revert back to stock due to interior pics.
Share your views..as many people have comolained abt oics quality

He saved the camera of this device with his HAL mod, and the camera in his rom is by far the best out there.
I like the pictures I took from sultan's camera, but I've never seen a one-on-one comparison. Has anyone actually made comparisons?
The big quality jump is for the video part and the display on low light.
For the photo, it is not really far better, except on low light because the prioity is on maintaining the Iso at a low level.
Sometimes, the shutter speed can be quite "high" and you can have shake problems.
So when you're telling about inferior pics, just explain it because it can be that you don't use it well.
Basically, what Sultan's mod does is that it increases the shutter speed to get less blurry photos in low light.
What this in turn does, is make the photos look noticeably noisier (increased ISO) and less bright. There is a noticeable difference only in slightly dim / low light conditions.
If you have steady hands or don't mind getting blurry photos, use stock.
If you want no motion blur and other cool stuff like 4K video, [email protected], etc, use the mod.
If you want both, use my app
noisy pics with no proper focus is what i am talking about
2 questions
1)is there any rom having same CAMERA quality as oxygen
2)also whether all Cm based rom have same noisy pics?

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
There's sometimes autofocus lag but in good light there's no shutter lag. In low light with Auto Mode there's a fair bit of shutter lag.
I seem to be getting "recording failed" when double pressing the power to launch camera while my phone is locked. (When I hit the record button)
I've been thinking about returning (not exchanging) my note 9 since I'm still within the 30 days.
Actually I get a fair bit of shutter lag in Auto mode, especially in low light. The paused image isn't actually the one captured. Maybe this is due to focusing and post-processing but there is still shutter lag with HDR turned off. It also seems to me as if the 2X lens actually has less shutter lag than the main camera, but both have a tendency to favour low ISO and shutter speed (great for scenery but poor for pets or kids). In Pro Mode there's virtually no shutter lag.
Well i got a quick workaround for shutter lag while taking quick pics at low/indoor lighting conditions
Apparently it's the autofocus speed that causes the lag for me..... instead of trying to take successive pictures while holding the camera still , move the camera slightly or just give it a quick jerk and it immediately refocuses and clicks.....was able to get same speed shots as my note 8 this way
Sorry if i wasn't able to explain myself better
Hi guys...
How is everyone?
Kindly see the following two pics.
When the focus is on the tubelight the screen goes all yellow and thus the resulting pic as well.
but when I covered the tube light with my hand IT returns to normal the actual colour that is there.
Do any of you guys have this problem how should I get my unit replaced?
Is this even a problem or normal white balance stuff?

It's plainly not a problem.
You may find a similarly serious "fault" where your photo comes out black if you cover the lens with your finger while taking the shot

Sorry, didn't mean to sound so chippy. The fact of it is though that this is not a problem. The phone's software adjusts depending on lighting conditions so when you change the lighting it's gonna change its behaviour. Go take some pics in daylight and other real world conditions if you want to confirm whether it's operating correctly. You can always find ways to catch these algorithms out with artificial situations

I didn't wanna run out of my replacement period and then realise that I should have acted
Yes, this is not a problem, a reviewer showed how the camera reacted when photo was taken from two different angles, at one angle green color was dominant while on different angle it was not.

If you happen to still have your Poco, this condition is NOT a hardware nor a white balance problem on Poco. This is a normal behaviour of the flourescent lighting especially when the camera is using fast shutter speed. The yellowing is a phenomenon in which the camera captures the lower portion of the flicker curve, in laymans term, when the light has just turned ON and is not on its peak power yet.
But why was it using fast shutter speed? It should use low shutter speed!
You have a camera with a sensor that can capture huge amount of light at a given intensity and has the capability to use fast shutter speed in order to not blind itself (to not overblown the image). If you ever do use a slower shutter speed, there is a huge probability of the image of being overblown or for the moving subjects to have trails. You could still make some few adjustments in manual mode.
But my old smartphone renders the proper white color!
It is true, it renders white colors because it might be having a lower aperture, smaller sensor or even smaller photocells. To put it simply, it is using slower shutter speeds because it is what it can do and it is doing well with flourescent. It is not being blinded by the light because its camera configuration is not advanced enough to capture more light on a given amount of intensity, does slow shutter speed.
Put this into your mind: At a given constant white balance, a magnetic ballast flourescent lamp will still emit yellow tint/cast whenever the camera is using fast shutter speed. This is NOT an issue of the camera itself but a limitation of of the light source itself because advanced camera systems were now fast enough to capture its low power phase/state.
This phenomenon DOES show on full flrame cameras ie Nikon D90 and Canon Rebel XSI 450d, due to them having bigger sensors therefore using even more faster shutter speed. This doesn't mean that they're defective.
This phenomenon DOES NOT show on high frequency lamps such as midrange LEDs and mostly Flourescents with electronic ballast.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm having some problems in places with that type of lights but not when pointing to them, just taking a normal picture, same picture can have that yellow tint, or not, just changing from one camera to the other one or moving around the photo a little bit....
The Note 9s tendency toward much longer exposures to pull in more light makes it very difficult to capture even a little movement without blurring - Anyone who has some tips here?
Ya, I feel ya. Fortunately the Camera app will retain your previously used settings in Pro mode. I have my pro mode set to a higher ISO with a shorter exposure. Tailored to my general indoor lighting. Aside from that you can't do too much else.

I'm doing the same. On my note 8 i had the option to set a pro mode shortcut on my screen and can't seem to do the same on the Note 9. Any idea how to do it?

Generally for indoors I use:
ISO 640
Aperture 1/125 F1.5
If pics are still a little blurry you could max out the ISO at 800, and Aperture at 1/80, but your pics will be noisier.
Keep in mind that these settings are tailored to my indoor lighting and you'll have to play around with it. The general rule of thumb is, the higher the ISO you go, the faster/wider the shutter speed you can get at the cost of noisier photos. The wider the Aperture, the lower your ISO you can set with less noise, but blurrier photos. You just need to find the right balance between the two.
Good luck!
