I NOTICE I am not the only one but everyone claims to have issues with the camera. The commercial claims OIS and it will take good shots while moving but with the littlest of movements everything will become a blur .. it also claims the best camera but it takes horrible low light pictures.. can someone help me with tips and tricks ? Is there an OIS setting to turn on I know there is for the video recording but for the photos is it automatically on already ?

Before taking a picture, hit the mode button first, scroll down to download, it will bring you to Samsung's app store, where you can download sports mode. That should solve your problem for fast moving objects.

Once you launch your camera app hit the gear wheel (settings), then click the three dots and click on help. That should give you some pointers.

No you won't be able to sue them for that. I guarantee there are * and things on the bottom of the screen saying certain conditions can effect things.

Eh? This is easily the best camera phone i've had. ..and I have a lumia 1020, Nokia n8, and a Sony z3. The Nokia phones have lovely resolution but the 1020 can't get white balance right, and colors are amazingly over saturated. The n8 would be great if the os was usable. Z3 has focus and over processing issues. OIS on the note 4 is working very well here. Wanna buy a yellow 1020 with matching grip?

Actually, he sure can. Anyone can sue anybody for anything. The question is whether the complaint would be laughed out of court on a motion to dismiss.

I guess so.. I'm basically saying he won't win.. I guarantee there is something at the bottom of the commercial... Just like Verizon says "watch NFL mobile for free with the more everything plan"... But if people didn't know any better they'd use their data up in a second.. And at the bottom it tells you data usage applies.

By the way -- you did take off the plastic film from the lens, right?

Can you take off thesmart stabilization function in camera settings...that helped with blurry pics for me. Youmay have to scrolldown in camera settings to find it and turn it off.

doesn't matter. plastic film doesn't cover the sensor, only the surrounding, which isn't a part of the picture anyway.

I don't have any of these issues. My note takes better low light pics than the iPhone 6.

Of course you can spend your money on a baseless, futile lawsuit. Be sure to take pictures for us. :)

You must be doing something wrong or there is another problem. I have taken shots of fast moving vehicles with sports mode, and they are in focus and look like they are still.

I figure the same thing. It's just weird because I don't know how you can screw up holding the phone and pressing on the shutter button. I've taken very good shots on a few phones that i've owned in the past like the Nexus 5 and the S3. The Nexus had a notoriously inconsistent camera, yet I got my best shots with it. Yet with this Note, having arguably the best camera hardware of any Android I cannot get a non-blurry shot. I've tried HDR on, Sports Mode, upped my ISO, set everything to auto, and still nothing consistently works. Sure, i'll get a few really good ones but I find myself deleting far more than I save. And I am NOT a photo snob so for me to delete a photo it has to be pretty bad.

If you have hdr turned on then image stabilization is turned off.

2nd, I don't know exactly what your issue issue is (photos would help) you can't out smart physics. If you don't have enough light for your situation and you can't increase ISO, fstop, or add light (flash) then there isn't anything you can do.
