When I take a picture indoors using the automatic setting my pictures seem to have a red hue. People almost seem to have a sunburn. Is this unique to my camera or have others experienced this?
What I am saying is it won't take an accurate realistic photo. Any comments?
Is my camera defective or am I not using the right setting?

I took a panoramic shot in a movie theater a couple nights back before the movie started, and the whole right half of the shot looked almost completely red, devoid of all greens and blues.

This may slightly be off topic, but how do you take a panoramic shot?

I noticed the same thing but I later found that its actually the screen colors. If you take that pic and send it to your pc you will notice that red hue is gone. I think its the the screen produces reds. Kinda like super amoled screens produce almost fake colors.

If you are only seeing this with indoor shots, try changing the mode to "low light" and see if that helps. It really brightens up the pictures indoors for me.

is anyone else having problems with pictures coming out blurry? almost like the camera is focusing too much and goes out of focus before you can hit the shutter?

Yep, yep, yep! I had the same issue! My OG EVO camera was the bomb, & I never had to adjust anything. When I changed the saturation to -1, the pics appear to be almost normal.

Both the camera and the video suck. I was happy with my GSII. I was under the impression that this camera was going to rock. Back to my GSII and will wait for the GSIII.

One of the main reasons I dumped my E4gt was for an even better camera, my evo3d sucked ass in the camera dept, so went with the E4gt. However so far I am not impressed with any of my photos.

I had issues with all my indoor shots coming out really blurry, while my outside shots were AMAZING. I tried a couple things and noticed that the auto focus tries to focus too far away by default in the A mode. By taping the A in the lower left corner and selecting portrait, the focus and coloring are much improved indoors. Here are a couple sample shots of my dogs.

Using auto mode:

Using portrait mode:

This is true. I turned saturation down one level and the pics looked great on my phone. Not so much when I uploaded them to Facebook and looked on my computer.

Funny you said that. I was comapring the pic quality between original nexus and this one, and original nexus has pictures much much sharper than this. Colors are far better too.. I feel like Sprint/we got cheated in this aspect here. I may not return the phone... but can't gulp down this huge dissatisfaction

Yes, blurry pics here as well. Very disappointed since my OG EVO 4G took fantastic pics even in low light they weren't bad. Granted it was slow taking pics and occasionally hung while taking pictures non the less they were usually fantastic.
