Has anyone else noticed the preview in the camera app goes slow motion when night mode enables?
I've been playing around with the phone and it seems to only be when the little moon icon is visible, focus on the video preview goes to mush aswell as soon as night mode enables.
It’s probably just the low shutter speed which is necessary for low light photos

It's only in the preview, not when pressing the shutter button, though I have found the camera assistant from Galaxy store can help improve some of the sluggishness
The sensor has to be open longer to get in more light for night mode
I was searching for a fix since this April update. i found that clearing the cache from the Camera cleared the preview lag in low light. Reseting the camera settings wasnt enough.

It's the normal behavior of any camera with low shutter speed (in low light condition).

Hi,
I'v noticed some potential problems with my camera, and I have a few other questions too to help make me get the best out of the camera. This is all using 2.1 ROM and SE camera app.
1.When my camera autofocuses, sometimes it emits a light 'clicking' noise from the inside. I'm not sure if this is only me, and I want to make sure it's not an oddity.
And about the autofocus, it's terrible sometimes. The autofocus bracket turns red quite a lot, meaning it's not got a lock on focus and sometimes it shoots with the red bracket meaning it's not focused (this happens on touch to shoot mode). Sometimes, it says its focused on something when it isn't. This usually happens when close up, like 15-20 cm away from the object.
2.Image stabilization- is it good or bad? I've noticed camera shots are a bit more grainy with image stabilization on and it takes a bit of time to process the shots too. Does image stabilization make any noticable impact on quality of photos?
3. Metering:Center, spot vs average. Which is the best?
4.How exactly does Macro mode work? I've not seen any noticable difference of pictures using it and normal mode.
5.Is there a way to remove the jpeg compression, or at least reduce it? I think photos could be MUCH better if sony hadn't implemented that.
So those are my questions. Thanks for any help on shedding light to the issue(s)
1. I noticed that click on K750 also, and I think that autofocusing mechanism. And yeah x10 has terrible autofocus, especcialy on macros
2. Image stabilisation is used mostly in night/low light images and it compesates hands shaking when holding camera. It does not do wonders, but it is much easier to take night photo with stabilisation on. Also when its on, pictures are not sharp as they are without stabiliastion.
3. generaly:
average - for landscapes and well lit shots
centre - portaits
spot - macros
4. you cannont autofocus on macro distance(10cm or so) if macro or auto mode isnt turned on
5. only way to reduce JPEG compression is to use vignette aplication with super fine quality (check Camera 360 app also)
one major tip, play with EV always and youll get much better results
cheers mate

28spawn's modded stock camera for 2.1 has somewhat less compressed jpegs and some other improvements. It's in the Themes & Apps section.
I have had a couple of autofocus camera phones now and they have all done the clicking noise during the focusing, so I am guessing that is completely normal. Image stabilization does make the pictures turn out a lot worse, try to avoid using that. And as hibiskus said, the EV controls make a world of difference! Check out this link http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com...xposure-value/ It has some useful information on the EV controls.
When shooting photos in either manual mode in the built-in camera app, or in auto mode in other camera apps like Google Camera, there is a consistent 0.5s to 1s lag between the time in which the shutter button is pressed and the time in which the photo is captured. The lag ALWAYS occurs, every single time, even in perfect lighting conditions and even if focus is already set.
The lag makes it very challenging to capture moving objects.
The issue isn't present in the built-in camera app's auto mode, but in auto mode you can't change important things like white balance.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Nope, no lag in any mode. Well, perhaps 1 out of 6 or 8, but probably due to delayed focus lock. Try cleaning the screen and nearby sensors and worst case a factory reset. I think you have a one-off issue

I've tried it on multiple G4 and V10 devices in stores now. They all have the same issue.
I have similar issue with the stock camera app as well. When i switch from manual mode to auto mode, it lags for almost 2 seconds. But when switching from auto to simple mode, no delay at all. I went to AT&T store to test their display model, and it had no such issue.
I am not sure what could cause it.
I have the AT&T model, stock ROM, not rooted. I have Nova Launcher.
Hey guys. As you can read in the title its about some problems i ran into when using the camera. Using the official v3.88 rom btw
For example
Video recording
4k records in laggy 15 fps in good light, 11 fps low light
1080p records 24 fps in good light, 11 fps in low light
For 720p its the same as 1080p
Photography
I have focusing issues when using automatic mode on macro and/or close up shots. Camera tries to focus, then focuses beyond the sweet spot (meaning its sharp but it still adjust focus beyond that so it gets blurry again), and then it jumps back to what the focus was before. Happens very rarely that it stops the focus where it should be to get a good picture.
Now for low light and complete dark conditions using the led flash.
The focus issues here here are similar to the previous macro/close up issue.
Example scenario: complete dark room, camera with flash led enabled. Now when i try to take a picture using the shutter button (not onscreen one as this just shoots without attempting to focus at all), the led turns on, camera tries to focus, led turns off after focusing, focusing indicator appears again somehow (orange square), now i press the shutter down completely, it takes the picture and it comes out really blurry as it resets the focus right to where it was at the beginning (thats what similar to the macro shots).
Does anyone of u guys have these problem on the same rom (v3.88)?
Do any Mini and Max users here have similar issues?
If u have time pls try out the things mentioned above (video and photography pls) and post your results if you have the same issues or similar things happening to you.
Anyone?
Guys, pls. Already 170 views and nobody answered. This goes to anyone. Max, mini and normal z7 users. Pls tell me about if u have got camera issues or not on the latest available stock rom on your phone
I'm having the same problems with videorecording, low FPS in low light, like 10-20. Im using Resurrection Remix 7.1.1 though, i dont rememeber if this happened with the stock version i had (3.84). Have you found any fix to this?
Edit: i´ve found a workaround for the low FPS in low light. You have to set the "exposure" setting to -2, it will make the video darker but you will get a stable framerate.

Thank you for responding. Yeah i know its due to exposure being too aggressive while video recording. What about taking pictures in low light (or even in a completely dark room) with led flash on? Does it focus correctly and captures a sharp image or does it kinda reset the focus after led turns off and gives u a blurry result?
And what about 4k video recording. Does it give you stable 30 fps in good light conditions? I know mine didnt.
Every time I try to use it, my camera gets really dark. So I effectively can't use it indoors, even if all the lights are on. Am I missing some setting that's causing this?
Hey mate, its because the slow motion needs lots of light which means the light intake for the camera to process it in a slow motion is much larger than the usual.
so the best advice i can give you is either use it in a outdoor setting or use a flash light or some light source
So i just got the official update today and i just updated my poco f1 to 10.2.2.0 and here's my short review. Do read this if you wanna consider to update or not.
1. The new slow mo 960fps has flickering issues so its literally impossible to use. Or is it only me?
2. Theres a new option at the top screen "Cleaner - Security scan - Deep clean - Manage apps" in recent apps screen which imo, makes it look less minimalistic and ugly.
3. Battery? So far so good. Havent tested it in pubg yet or full day use yet so i cant give my full opinion yet. I'll update this after this 3 days.
4. Theres a new options in Notification & Status bar in settings>Show icons for incoming notifications. Which basically will show your notification icons on the left status bar then after 2 seconds it goes back to showing the clock which is dumb. Why dont they just give us the options to show notification icons permanently instead of clock.
5. The hide notch option in settings is still gone.
6. Theres a new Night mode in camera, but really, they dont work as well as pixel 3 night mode. When you take a pic using night mode in completely darkness, the pic result will be completely dark, unlike the pixel 3. So dont hope too much on the night mode on miui camera.
Thats all so far my review. Will udpate this thread if i found anything new. Please share your review as well.
Hello,
regarding (1): are you in sunlight or in artificial light?
960 fps is way higher than the power line frequency (50 Hz, 60 if you are in the US) so if you shot in artificial light you are basically getting flicker from your lamp.
In direct sunlight you should have no flickering at all.

Nope. Still no difference.
I also only notice flicker in artificial light. Moreover, the flicker is much less noticeable in the actual video than it is on the screen while recording.
