Blurry pictures

[edubb256]

and I'm not happy with them and have never been. because of the poor quality I don't zoom the camera, I zoom with my body.

Zooming with your feet is always better if you can do that. Since they wouldn't let me on the soccer field while they were playing, I had to either zoom, or shoot standard and crop. In good light, zooming gives a better result than shooting standard and cropping. Not sure I would use the zoom in poor light though.

Yep zoom with your feet not with cam until the fence or cliff stops you.

For me steady hand plus voice control for any super still shots.
Too many people blame cameras for poor technique. The best results are usually traced to high shutterspeed and good light composition while bad photos are always the cameras fault.

I have been taking pictures in London all week. I have not had one blurry photo. In fact, the pictures are beyond fantastic. In high contrast situations I am amazed at the quality. One person looking over my shoulder was amazed at one of the pictures I took.

I love the 2x zoom. Works great.

you must be doing something all wrong if you can't take a good picture with the note 8 just saying . cause this this thing is a picture taking beast . just saying I think it's the operator not the phone

I know right love the camera on this phone

well I decided to keep the note 8 and the pictures have been pretty good I guess. I'm happy enough with the pictures considering it is a cell phone and not a real camera.

thank you for the link. I have mild shaking issues which has turned my best love in the world, photography, into a real challenge. I have tripods for my gear, but using my Notes still present a problem. this is a good solution for me perhaps.

There is also voice control. You can turn it on and say "Smile", "Cheese", "Capture", or Shoot", or record videos by saying "Record Video".

Yes, please be aware that OIS will correct for your own hand/body movements that shake the camera -- but will not compensate for low shutter speed when it comes to subject movement.

This is basic photography and anyone who has used an OIS lens on a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera can attest to that. If you want to capture moving subjects you need light to get a fast shutter speed. Lots of light. Or, you need an imaging sensor that can be cranked up to high sensitivities with good quality, or a lens with a bright aperture. Best of all -- all of the above.

Unfortunately, smartphone imagers have physics limitations (small sensors and small lenses) that prevent you from having fast shutter speeds in average or low light conditions -- so you need lots of light to get a fast shutter speed with moving subjects.

Otherwise, your options are video (where motion blur is acceptable and natural) or to lug around a DSLR/Mirrorless rig with you with a lens that probably costs more than your Note8, not to mention the body.

Be certain that Tracking AF is disabled. If it is turned on, OIS is automatically, turned off. This could cause a blurry picture, especially in a low light situation, where any camera movement will get exaggerated with a lower shutter speed. So, in other words, NEVER use Tracking Auto Focusing, except in action situations, where you have brighter lighting and won't need OIS. Unfortunately, you can't have both enabled at the same time.

I got the note 8 as a preorder, 2 weeks before release and yes the pictures are blurry in low light and the image stabilization does not really work. I have complained about this on samsung forums as well and no response yet from samsung. I took it into best buy and compared it with the display model, the display model's pictures are more crisp and clear, I talked to samsung support whom only asked me to stop, and clear the camera app cache and data. Afterwards they asked me to call online order support to return it. I am majorly disappointed.

I also am a little disappointed with the camera (not the motion blurriness, just in overall performance). I had the Note 5 and so far cannot tell much of a difference between the two. The main reason I switched was because the camera was supposed to be even better. I definitely feel that it over exposes on auto. I'm hoping that the update that is coming will improve performance.

I've taken a ton of photos and have not experienced or heard of blurry shots.

And 90% of my snaps are point and shoot. No prep at all.

Someone mentioned earlier that it's most likely user error.

The note 8 should be taking pics as good as the S8+ and I've seen phenomenal ones in the S8 section so again it's user error most likely.

Thanks! That is our adoptee Bentley. We have another dog too named Annie-LouView attachment 268405. You soon will get to recognize them as they are my frequent buddies. Taken with Keyone.

This pic looks great! Clear and sharp! How did you upload, through your device or computer/laptop?

No problem with the zoom here.... See below, first one regular shot, second way zoomed all the way in

These pics do not look great. Soft, fuzzy and blurry with noise/artifacts. Were these pics uploaded through your device or computer/laptop? I see tapatalk in the links. Perhaps thats your problem?!

my lowlight photos are awful. I'll post some tonight, but it's not motion blur I'm getting. Literally it looks "noisy" on the screen before I even snap the photo, so you can tell it is going to be awful before you even take it. Photos in good lighting look great. I'm extremely disappointed with the lowlight performance though, worse than my V20 was even.

I. have nothing less than stellar photos from my Note nothing blurry at all same as I had if not better than my 8 plus

 

[kinchungckc]

Have the exact same problem! Any solution yet?

 

[nosh1tman]

did you try the N7? best camera on a phone I've ever had. this one isn't quite as good so far, imo

I agree, the Note 7 camera was perfect, shutter was fast and pics were very sharp and vibrant.

This Note 8, the pics may look OK while on the phone, but when you transfer the pics to a computer and view it at 100% of lower, there is fuzziness and blurriness.

I compared the same photos taken from Note 8 an a much, much older cheap non-dslr Sony digital camera, the sony wins for sharpness.

try viewing the file on a pc, and you'll see
