Anyone else have this problem?? Do I have some kind of setting chosen that makes it lag so badly? I will click the shutter button and there's a big delay like it has to think about it and then it takes the picture. And by that time i've missed the shot I wanted to get or it's totally blurry. HELP!!!!!

[Anthony_NE]

I experience this too sometimes. Quite frustrating. My phone pretty much lags all the timethough, and I thought the last update fixed it but the issues have returned. Sorry I'm no help, just chiming in.

Do you have HDR set in auto or on?

You shouldn't see any noticable lag. The only time there could be a lag would be if the camera is having trouble focusing, but mine seems to focus very quick so even trying to get lag is difficult.

I actually turned my HDR Off because I thought that might be contributing to the problem....ugh IDK

Not that it should be even dealing with the SD card at the time it's taking the shot, but have you got it set to save to SD or to internal?

Internal...no SD card yet!

[sswitzer]

Internal...no SD card yet!

Just to make sure:

* are other apps super slow as well or just the camera?
* have you cleared the recent apps?
* is it possible that another app you've installed is getting in the way?

I know all those are pretty obvious, but I haven't seen anyone else post in this forum that their camera, specifically, is lagging like what you describe.

I had this type of lag once or twice, when I went outside from the house, set up the camera (manual mode), then took a picture hoping to capture the moment.

It took about 2 seconds until it took the pic :|. Didn't happen again but I used mostly Auto since.

[the53rdcard]

one test you could do is, reboot it, give it a few seconds to get everything running again after the reboot, and try the pictures again on a fresh restart. that way you can eliminate any software variables

[Rukbat]

If you use a camera app that allows you to take pictures in the Raw format, it's much faster. The camera sensor is scanned and the data is saved.

If you're saving in jpg or some other format, the scanned data has to be processed and some apps are pretty slow doing that. Two seconds is about normal for a cheap camera app in jpg mode.

[gottria]

Mine does the same thing. Good light it's much better but indoors and lower light you can see it trying to focus. One it does grab it takes the pic.

[erwaso]

This can happen in low light settings. Shouldn't happen in daylight.

I don't think that jpg processing happens before the snap, which is what the op was talking about.

My camera has been lagging really bad as well. I was at a wedding yesterday and it kept lagging everytime I took a picture. It was annoying! I've been trying to figure out a fix and as of today i still cant find it.

I am having the same issues and it has been annoying. I'm still trying to find a fix for it.

you’ll need to enable access to the hidden “Developer options” menu on your Android phone. To do that, simply tap the “About phone” option in Settings. Then tap “Build number” seven times and you’re done. Now you can just back out to the main Settings menu and you’ll find Developer options somewhere near the bottom of the list.

==>Now that you’re done with that part, let the real fun begins. Tap the new Developer options menu you just enabled and scroll until you see the following three settings (note that they may be located within an “Advanced” subsection):

Window animation scale
Transition animation scale
Animator animation scale

==>Did you see them? By default, each of those three options is set to “1x” but tapping them and changing them to “.5x” will dramatically speed up your phone. This harmless tweak forces the device to speed up all transition animations, and the entire user experience is faster and smoother as a result

[Sebbelion]

Yea I have the same problem and it just started like a few days ago. For me it's even a bigger problem at the front camera with almost a whole second, makes it very difficult to take pictures. And no apps were running and it have worked fine before so something must have happened like an update or something.
And my normal camera works just fine, as fast as usual so there is nothing wrong with my phone.

[Mkaur]

Have same problem sometimes and it's so frustrating.

[Mkaur]

That's not going to fix camera problem.

[lostchild]

Turning off HDR helps a lot. Only set HDR to ON or Auto when you actually need HDR.

Clearly I'm very late to the party, but I just found this and holy cow this New setting is awesome!!! Thanks!

I've been having issues with this as well. I tried this developer options thing and it's still lagging. Even at .5x or completely off. I switched all of them tried them all and it still lags. What would I try next?

[ManiacJoe]

The developer options will have no effect on the camera activity.

Describe in great detail the conditions that this lag happens under:
Manual or auto exposure for the camera?
What kind of scene is it?
How much light is there in the scene?
What kind of light?
Is the subject moving?
Is the camera trying for an auto-lock on the focus or are you tapping on the screen to help the camera find the subject?

Can you attach an example image, unedited, not resized with all the EXIF data included?
