When I first got my S4 the day it came out on AT&T, the camera was really very nice. Not perfect mind you, but very good. I was able to take pictures in quick succession, and they were very clear and crisp. Good quality. Even with the little plastic thing on the lens that I figured out after a few days. Months later, I believe in July, there was a FW update for the camera that was installed via an update of sorts. It seems that since that time the quality of the camera went way down, and my pictures just aren't as nice anymore. In fact, its gotten so bad that no matter how still I hold the camera, and make sure it focuses etc, it still comes out just slightly blurred and kind of grainy. I've tried to set it to anti-shake, and messed with the white balance etc. For example in rooms with fluorescent lights, the picture turns out all yellow and gross, even with the balance set to fluorescent. Then last night, I met a local celebrity, our local news weatherman, and had a picture taken with him, and it was so blurry you couldn't even make out the faces! I was so mad, because I couldn't take another shot, it was my only chance... Now I'm really bummed. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've looked and found several threads about this, and the only thing I can gather so far is to increase the ISO somehow, but that doesn't seem like that would fix the problem since it was working just fine prior to the FW update in July.

PS: I believe I had set the camera to Night Shot for this picture... I wasn't the one taking the picture, a complete stranger did, so that may account for part of the blurriness...
