Hello everyone!
I just bought S22 plus on Snapdragon.
I have a very strange problem with the camera. When I try to take a picture in the dark with a normal mode, after sliding down the exposure bar, picture gets a lots of noise and grain.
When I shoot the same shot in a PRO mode and lowering the exposure the same way, the picture remains clean.
I will attach 3 pictures: 2 pictures are taken with the normal mode, they have grain. 1 repeating picture but taken with PRO mode, that has no grain.
What could be a problem?
Thanks

Hello,
I bought sony Z2 few weeks ago. It's a nice phone, it's very smooth and I'm very pleased. But it overheats, not as much in 4K(which I don't use so no bother for me) but Creative effect just puts too much stress on a battery and the camera very quickly shuts off because temperatures of the battery go over 46 Celzis which is probably a treshold temperature. I hope sony will optimize their code in future firmware updates for Z2. I don't change phones often, this was a step up from first! HTC Desire(more than 4years ago) and I'm hoping to get a few years of from Z2. I did tried a bunch of roms on desire, but Z2 is gonna wait, it is so smooth and ofcourse because of the warranty. If they don't fix the overheating problem, next time I'll try samsung or go back to HTC if they manage to make a decent camera which they never did make in any of their models(purple tint, poor sharpness, whashed colors etc. I'll stop here, don't wanna turn this into a flame thread, just my couple of thoughts)
Also, what's with the HDR in manual mode - it says it takes two pictures, but it takes only one and the picture is the same as the picture I take with HDR mode off. I see no difference... Or maybe I'm doing something wrong with HDR?

It will take two pictures and then combine them into a single one. The two pictures have different exposure (one underexposed to get more detail in the shadows, one overexposed to get more detail in the highlights), and when they're combined, the result is a single image with greater dynamic range (that is, the range of brightness from dark to light) than a single photo could've captured. The greater dynamic range will sometimes make them look flat and one-dimensional, but with the right shot it can be a big improvement.
If you want to test it, look for a scene with very wide contrast from shadows to highlights. A good example would be a dimly-lit room with bright daylight outside the window. In a single exposure the room would be dark, the window completely white, or both. With an HDR exposure, you'll see more detail in the room and/or window.
Tnx for the info,I know how HDR works and what it does but I didn't see any difference in photos. I'll try more photos with more shadows in scenes.
This 2 photos are taken using Xperia Z2 (Superior Auto Mode) at the same time (afternoon), same place but slightly different angle.
As you can see, on the second photo, my room seemed very dark as if I snapped it in the late evening. Is this normal? How do I get more realistic photo?

Its metering.
Yours is set to spot or centre, this means it would meter the the centre of the picture for light, when you focus on light it will dim the image apropriately to give you the best focusing on your target
Try playing with metering and also exposure to get a better shot
Superiour auto is very hit and miss
I bought my wife and I this phone because we had a baby recently and wanted to get some nice pics. No matter what I do or what settings I change, the shutter is slow and the slightest motion will yield a blurry pic. Not the whole pic but anything that was in motion will be blurry. Any movement at all ruins a shot. Even sports mode and burst take blurry shots. So does pro mode.
I have held it steady before and after shots, used voice activation to reduce shake, and put it on stable surface. I have tried lowering resolution, changing storage location, turning off 3 sec pre-pic video, turning off HDR, killing all apps, restarting phone, clearing cache and so on and so on. And no I do not have the protective film on the lense.
I have seen others online complaining about blurry pics too but I am not seeing solutions. I came from a Note 4 and did not have these complaints. My wife has the same issues. It is unlikely we both got defective devices.
Somebody I know has the S8 and we took pics of each other waving to see results and theirs was clear and my pic of them had a blurry hand. This was in a well lit room.
Is this Note 8 camera just lousy? Try taking a picture of your hand waving or fingers wiggling. See mine attached. I was not moving that fast and press to track my hand. Is anybody else noticing this? Is there a solution?
The solution is to take photos in better light. Take that same photo with a full camera and no flash and see if there is any marked difference.
If there is not enough light for the conditions of the photo, your camera will have to open the aperture for a longer period. The longer it is open, the more blur you will see. This is especially true when moving something like a finger that moves 'quickly'.
Try the same thing in daylight and see where you stand.
Those previous shots were under a dining room light that is bright. It was well lit. If you are saying I can only take shots in full daylight and get a good shot, then this is not a good camera.
I took a photo in my office in a well lit room and got a blurry hand. I took the same shot at the same time using voice activation on my coworkers S8 and hers was not blurry. Mine is attached.
Basically, I've bought the Mate 20 Pro and I Collected it today from carphone warehouse.
The selfie camera is horrible, there's an automatic beauty filter that's applied to your face to smoothen it out. Even my hair is smoothened out.
Right now, because of this, my S8 Plus' front facing camera looks better in terms of colour accuracy and image quality.
Once you take the portrait shot, it says "Sharpening image" and then when you view the image in your gallery, yes, it's a lot sharper, however why does the live preview have this beauty effect on even when Master AI turned off??
It's making my face extremely white and pale for no reason at all.
The "colourful" filter modes too that remove the backgrounds to add cool colour effects also doesn't work in the live preview. It's only when you take the picture shot will the image itself in your gallery appear with the colour filters which is extremely annoying.
TLDR:
Automatic beauty mode that smooths your skin and hair
Cannot turn it off
Background colour filters not working properly.
Selfie quality
How is the selfie quality compared with s8 or other smartphones? Its really terrible? I tested yesterday the front facing camera. My opinion is, its mutch better than p20 pro

After you switch to selfie cam, switch the mode to photo and there wont be any beauty mod apply.
I have the exact same gripe. I'm always taking selfies with my son in the morning and both our faces look washed out. I can't stand it when something basic such as this cannot be right. Although I like every other aspect of this phone. If there is no software fix for this I might have to go back to my iPhone.
The Selfie Cam Lacks Auto-Focus - So the distance from face to phone will make a difference in a crap image or a highly detailed image.
Obviously take steps to turn off beauty mode as well.
There's face brightening going on with the front facing cam. Is it anything like this video?

Did @Leechoonhwee suggestion above help you fix the issue?

By this, do you just mean setting the slider all the way to 0 ?
Go to selfie cam then turn it to photo instead of the default mode. This improves it. Also hold the phone steady after shot as I believe it's taking multiple shots and stitching them so it is better quality if you hold still. ie: "Sharpening photo hold the phone steady" etc.
Hello,
i take photos from the night sky since serveral years (with smartphones too).
Unfortunately with the Samsung S9plus the stars are not pinpoint like as they are on the Samsung S7. They apear very distorted with a kind of a halo.
Ofcourse the smartphone was not moved during 10 seconds of exposure time.
I did layed it down and used the self timer mode to prevent shaking.
I tried it serveral days in comparison with the Samung S7.
The S7 is always much better and show pinpoint like stars.
The distortion of the stars is visible in the RAW files(DNG) too so no jpeg problem forced by the compression.
Could you reproduce the same problems?
I am not allowed to post links.So how to show you the photo?
Could send you the link of the uploaded photos for comparison.
The dual camera variants of Samsung phones tend to overexpose shots, especially during darker environment.
That's what I noticed, and I'm waiting for the update they sent to Note 9s.

Are you using the telephoto camera? It has OIS driven by digital gyroscopes. Those gyroscopes aren't effective at low frequencies so the OIS will slowly drift around a small amount. 1/5 second is usually the limit for sharp photos. Even when the gyroscopes are turned off, OIS lenses are VERY sensitive to motion because of the lens being on a soft suspension. Walking next to the tripod could wobble the lens.
You also can't expect clear images if you use F/1.5.
Try using the wide angle lens.
I would send a photo to someone of you so you can post it here into the Tread.
Who like to do it?
The camera was layed down on the ground so no shaking or vibration ppossible during the exposure time.
I found no setting that the OIS gyroscope is working in photo mode. OIS is probably only working in video modes.
Even if it works in photo mode, the camera was layed down, so no shaking could happen.
Who of you could make a photo from the stars with the following settings?
Pro Mode
Camera mounted or layed on the ground with direction to the night sky.
Self timer to prevent shaking
Iso 800
10sec shutter speed
F 1.4

Antwort unfortunately the tele lens only works in very good light conditions.
Even in a bright lighted room there is no way to activate the real Tele lens. The camera automatic switch to digital Zoom.
Also in pro mode its not possible to use the telephoto lens if the light condirions are not perfect.
This is very bad because if the cameras is standing still completely and the object doesn't move why not using the Tele camera lens in pro mode?
Very interesting Thanks for the link
