[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
This samples - bull****.. It's 6 Mp.. For croping - useless
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Nice results there at 6MPs, white balance, details... wondering if that's like Sony or Lumia auto mode of lower but more processed pixel count. Of course if results look the best around 6-8MPs (about enough for quality prints), it's not ideal for zooming (4x zoom means 1/16th of the pixels), but Samsung at least favors quality first and may go for quantity in release firmware... Then again, the small sensor compromise, either or...

Superb samples. Shows what it can do in bright light.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Exactly my thinking, Now to wait for some low light shots with movement and some action shots and then we can finally see if Samsung was able to improve on all the downfalls of the camera's in the S4/Note 3.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
True, AndroidAuthority say low light is promising, but we'll have to wait for the proper samples. Here are more official Samsung SM-G900F shots, of course in controlled environment so no surprise at the quality, but nonetheless impressive from a mobile.

Drama shot, panning shot, dual shot, and panorama (click on those!)

only SM-G900"H" "Maybe" different .

ALL G900x is the same Just because CPU is Qualcomm.

But G900"H" is using Exynos . others are Qualcomm.

Please see my post .

SM-N900 ＆ SM-N9005 use the same sensor - Sony IMX135, right

But manufacturer ISP and the module manufacturer are different .

But photo Quality is also different . my post 's photo prove it.

Now. No One can give us The true data (for S5) to make sure.

SM- G900H(Exynos)

sensor - Samsung

manufacturer ISP - ？？？

the module manufacturer - ？？？

SM- G900x variant (Qualcomm)

sensor - Samsung

manufacturer ISP - ？？？

the module manufacturer - ？？？
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
Is this what you mean? Have posted this before.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
use PUMa (Tools - Camera)
[Galaxy S 5 General] rulala:
This is not What I mean.

Sorry my English is not good.

Pako7 say：

Qualcomm

vendor ISP - Qualcomm

vendor sensor - Samsung

vendor module - I can not yet say

Exynos

vendor ISP - LSI

vendor sensor - Samsung

vendor module - SEMCO

so , If this is True .

we don't know Qualcomm's vendor module is Which one.

Different vendor module maybe give us different photo Quality.

for example . SM-N900 and SM-N9005.

they use the same camera sensor BUT their "focal length" is not the same

N900 's camera always store more bigger file size than N9005.

( The same scene and the same mode )

If someone upload oringinal photos by G900H , at least we can see EXIF information.

Of course .

if someone has G900H and G900F phone

He can take a picture to make a comparison.

And we will get the Finnal anwser.

compared with my xperia z camera i have noticed 3 things so far.

obviously the quality is a lot better with a lot less noise

but the frame rate in preview mode is quite low

and i am finding it is very easy to take blurred pictures..it seems i have to hold my phone very very still to take a good shot. I tried with stabilization on and off. Quite easy to blur with it enabled and disabled :S

Flash

Hi friend, i have a galaxy S5 SM-G900M

I do not really like the flash of camera, it is very strong for short distances, it makes people's faces too bright.

It is possible to control the intensity of the flash?

Great Photos!,

Can you tell me which macro attachments you are using?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mithrandir007:
Thanks :)

The item I bought on ebay is no longer being sold by the same vendor (that was about 2 years ago), but here's one that seems to be the same :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171281705190?redirect=mobile

I've been using it for S3, S4 and now S5, the good thing is that it'll most likely work on future phones as well as long as the camera is not placed too far from a border of the phone.

I should post a few videos as well, you can already focus extremely close to the subject when zooming while recording a video (X4 -> about as close as the pictures you see in my post), and when using the macro attachment in addition to that zoom, you can really see extremely small details (like the details of a wing of a bee).

Hi, can anybody tell if there is a difference in the image quality of exynos and snapdragon variant of s5?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mithrandir007:
I just use the macro lens and you do have to be quite close to be in focus.

So you either need a subject that is pretty calm or you just try to take a few pictures quickly and hope to have a few good ones (burst shot is good for that) ☺

It's a lot easier with the S5 than the S4 though, thanks to the very quick focus and instant shooting.

Without the macro lens, you can get as close when recording a movie and zooming though, which allow you to be further away.

New pictures - including underwater picture tests

I've just returned from vacation and did quite a lot of pictures.

The quality of the vast majority of those is amazing.. even low light ones are much better than I expected.

I've also had fun taking a lot of pictures and movies of my daughter in the pool (some of those underwater), the IP67 was really a huge bonus in this case.

There are also some experiments of pictures taken from underwater, or just above.

That one was taken with the lens right above the water level, it does a nice trick of making you think the water is perfectly still :)

I had no trouble at all after putting the device quite often underwater, the only inconvenience was that the speaker was sounding a bit messy for about an hour after the device was underwater.

But after a while, it sounds perfectly normal.

I've also taken some more bee pictures, since there were a lot of them in one place, and was surprised at the quality of the pictures of bees that I managed to photograph in mid flight (this took just a few minutes, it wasn't hard at all)

And I've also taken a few macro pictures of a wasp and other stuff.

And a few nice pictures to finish :)

Hope you like those :)

Camera Focus issues in lower lighting conditions.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but the tap to focus feature is a nightmare on the note 3 and s5. Solid colors or anything less than perfect lighting results in a red circle(square on n3) that tells you it failed to focus properly. Its one of the most annoying camera issues I've ever run across. I made a thread on the N3 forum about it and what i've tested and currently the s4 is the last samsung flagship before the camera focus issues started. anything less than perfect lighting makes it harder for the camera to focus, and i dont know why. No 3rd party cameras wont fix it and yes this issue affects all s5 and n3 ive tested. I hope someone finds a fix because tapping the screen to focus, changing iso, modes or anything does not work. Its single handedly the most annoying issue ion the s5 and im not sure why this hasnt even been brought up yet.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mithrandir007:
Any camera will focus slower as light conditions worsen, but it shouldn't be as bad as you described.

I haven't noticed anything like this and I do take pics in low light..
[Galaxy S 5 General] darkfangex5:
maybe you're just lucky to have a fully functioning one but EVERY s5 (10+) I've run across gives me the sh*tty red circle of samsungs I cant focus to save my life In anything but perfect lighting camera.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mithrandir007:
That's really strange.. I doubt I'm in the minority who have a fully functioning device, otherwise I think more people would be complaining about that problem which seems pretty major to me.

You really tested 10+ S5 devices and all of them had the problem?

If that's true, then I only see these possibilities :

1: You've been very unlucky to test a lot of devices all coming from a bad batch with a malfunctioning camera.

2: We don't have the same definition of "anything but perfect lightning". Does that mean "pitch black" to you by any chance? :) For me, I have the green focus circle in any situation but pitch black.. though it can be a lot slower to focus when it's getting close to pitch black.

3: You're trying to focus on objects that are too close to the phone (that means very close though, I'm talking less than 1-2 cm away).

4: You have your finger on the lens ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] jopat:
The trick in low lights is the contrast. The more contrast your subject has to the background, the better the focus will be, that is due to the outline the camera projects from the contrasting colors. The camera needs to see an outline of the subject.

Here's a shot I took with lights off in a room.

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

Here are two shots I took with a cheapo macro attachment. Not good macro subjects though.
[Galaxy S 5 General] darkfangex5:
Literally if you have white blinds very sunny out and a lamp in the room and you try a simple test to focus on the palm of your hand It gives you a stupid red circle. not strllar lighting? go into your nearest bestbuys and test their s5 and note 3s EXACT same issue. thats just the lighting in their building. red circle, red circle, red circle. or a green circle out of focus as hell. I dont care about focus speeds I would gladly trade that off for a clear freakin picture. but its slow and cant even get the focus right. ive traded in two units already and tested multiple s5s and note 3s all focus failures in anything but perfect light. in comparison a simple s3 or iphone 5s tap to focus... slow but at least it freakin focuses. WTF
[Galaxy S 5 General] jopat:
Maybe they are too light colored and too bright lighted. Contrast plays an important role in identifying the subject. The camera needs to capture the outline. I believe S5 is very particular with the outlines based on the reviews saying that S5 pictures have better object edges.
[Galaxy S 5 General] darkfangex5:
Well the s5 and note 3 probably have really ****ty algorithms for discerning because again the s3 and 5s can discern them albeit longer than usual. So its not also just light color or too bright lighted its if the same color is on the entire frame it cant discern when to stop and just goes screw it heres a red circle or a green circle way out of focus.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mithrandir007:
I'm sorry, the nearest Best Buy is a few thousand kilometers away from me, so that'll be a bit complicated :p

I tried the conditions you described, didn't have a problem.

The only way I managed to have the red circle was to be in very low light and aiming at a plain white wall without anything on it.

Since it can't determine the borders, it gave me a red circle..

But as soon as I aim to any object or even to the corner of 2 white walls, it works.

Most of the pics i have been seeing here are from daylight ( i haven't checked all pages though, have been jumping from some pages), but i saw a video a user posted where the z2 and m8 were compared with the s5 and on night time/low light the images weren't great =/

Is there a way to improve on that or a software update? Or is just really a limitation of the sensor? Or maybe just change some settings manually?The m8 seems to be the best at low light but in daytime sometimes it just can't handle that much light, and the z2 did alright with the night shots but the s5 seemed disappointing =( I don't have mine yet, which why im asking
[Galaxy S 5 General] azsamsancho:
I have a few questions:

1. Do you shoot in 16:9 or 4:3? Is the 16:9 a true resolution or a crop from 4:3? Or is it the other way around -- the S5 4:3 is a crop from 16:9?

2. Is there a difference in crispness of the image depending on aspect ration and megapixels used. For example I do not see the point in shooting in 16 mp unless I will always crop a lot or will do huge prints

3. I notice that using HDR in different aspect ratios oversaturates inconsistently -- see below:

6 megapixels, 16:9 - HDR (appears more saturated)

View attachment 2908778

8 megapixels, 4:3 - HDR (appears not saturated at all, cool color I would even say)

View attachment 2908779

.

.

.

This is even more bizzare...

8 megapixels, 4:3 - NO HDR (appears saturated)

6 megapixels, 16:9 - NO HDR (appears not saturated)

Overall, I do not know why but it seems to me that the 4:3 is a crop of the 16:9 shot and somehow HDR software messes up in the different aspect ratios. Can anyone do similar tests and confirm?
