The camera on my S5 is amazing and the pic quality is like nothing I've seen on a phone, learn to take the pics properly.

For those that are getting good pics.

What settings do you guys use, or what things you do for that perfect pic?

You have to play with the settings to see what works for your shooting style but I have used full auto and gotten excellent results..

I'd really appreciate some help before I take my phone back to my provider.
I'm SURE my pictures shouldn't be turning out like this but every single photo I take with my S5 comes out in awful quality, regardless of the settings. I've owned the handset for about a month now and it's really bugging me now as one of the reasons I bought it was for the amazing camera. Is this a hardware fault?
This photo was taken in full 16mp resolution... It REALLY doesn't look like it. My Lumia 920's photos were far better and it's only a 8mp camera. What's going on here?

This is a condition called "Lumiaitis" in countries like Canada, where flagship Nokias have ceased to be offered, so users are forced to hang on to their 920s because other cell phone cameras on offer just won't do, ESPECIALLY indoors and in low light. I keep my 920 handy just for this purpose.

Having used Nokia phones before the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini, I am really disappointed with the lousy camera performance and the inconsistent Android user interface.
I'll switch for another operating system next.
