Note 4 camera and moving objects (i.e. kids)

[Joe Nunya]

Try the Note 4 in HDR for a shot like that and it will look better

To my eye the iPhone camera looks a lot better. Both good though yes but the coloring looks better on the 6 plus to me. All our eyes have different preferences though.

I have to agree. I like the coloring from the 6+ better.

This always seems to be Samsung's weakness. They keep bumping up the megapixels but dont fix the lens. My 8mp iPhone 6 takes much better indoor pics than my Note 4 and my wife's S5. Just for this reason alone I still keep my iPhone around. Hopefully this will be fixed with the S6.

I hardly see the camera on the Note 4 as Samsung's weakness. I just prefer the color results from the iPhone's. If I wasn't doing a side by side comparison I prolly wouldn't even notice.

Are you saying that the color was more accurate on the 6 plus or you just like the color it reproduced better?

It seems more accurate AND I like it better. However, the Note 4's images are considerably better than my Note 3's low-light photos.

Have you guys tried the Google Camera app w/ flash on? I just read about it and tried it, but only a few snaps. I'm wondering if I'm getting my hopes up for nothing. I'm gonna try again in a bit when my daughter wakes up.

I've started playing with it, but it seems to capture low-light movement better.

I had the 6 plus first and moved to a note 4 I regretted it ever since..

Well only for the camera

When you take a non moving object it's great. When your taking pics of kids or something moving TERRIBLE.. THE PROCESSOR TAKES ABOUT A HALF SECOND.. AND WITH A LITTLE KID THAT CAN BE DIFFICULT..

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES

AND YES I TRIED ALL THE TWEAKS AND ISO AND NO HDR AND SPORTS MODE AND STILL THE SAME CRAPPY RESULT..
I'M ALMOST CERTAIN THIS HAS NO IMAGE STABILIZATION BEC THE IPHONE 6 YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL IT IS ON AND WORKING

Why do you say no image stabilization? It has nothing to do with movement within the framed picture, it only compensates (to a degree) for the movement of the camera itself and the stationery objects in the picture are not blurred. Until there is explicit user control of shutter speed available, this motion blur will continue to be an issue.

So would you go back if you could or do the other things about the note make it up for you?

 

[C5p0]

I would go back in a heartbeat..
But I'm too heavily invested on the note 4 extra SD card / batter / adaptive fast charger for the car/ etc

I miss the iPhone interface and imessage.. I really just miss how good the camera looked on the iPhone 6 plus.. The video recording is much smoother and won't give you a headache while watching.. And camera quality an non blurry pics is enough to reel me back in.. Those who say turn hdr off for the note 4 why? You shouldn't need to do that. My hdr was always on on the 6 plus an never encountered problem or blurry images...

This might be an extreme example. Kids bouncing on trampolines with a mesh net in front of the lense. I used the "sports" setting.

Still blurry, but we are talking kids on a trampoline.....

Did you try the Google camera app? Download it and try and let me know if you get any better results.

For moving kids shots, I use burst mode. Most of them end up blurry in lots of motion (more so on the note 4,but plenty of blur on the 6p too, in my usage). Usually I can get maybe one or two usable pictures out of a 30 picture burst. Of course 6p is better on this regard, and most certainly if moving pictures is your highest priority then the 6p would be the best choice.

I posted a thread very close to release on this topic, let people know, and make the best decision for them.

Lol, I'm talking about for movement in lowish light situations. The stock camera app is wonderful for most situations, but for movement CameraZoomFX and the Google Camera do a much better job of holding focus. I am not sure where Samsung is going wrong, but the camera has a very hard time holding focus, resulting in blurry photos too often.

 

[Joe Nunya]

More than likely when we get Lollipop 5.1 in about June and can download "Camera FV-5" and what little slight advantage the 6+ may have on JUST low light pictures with a "moving" subject will entirely vanish and the Note 4 camera will be better to FAR better in every category instead of the 98% of categories that it is now.

I am so dissatisfied with the Note4 camera - hard to capture the kids, odd pixelation and over saturation that Sammy phones seem to produce I have just put my sim card back in my Xperia z1 compact. The size comparison is making me laugh but the camera works so much better.

I am really not sure that the Sony's camera should be that much better but the results I had from it last year were stunning and I love the physical camera button. The camera is the key feature on a phone for me and I have tried and tried and tried with the N4 but just don't like it's pics.

I feel sad to give up the Note 4 as there's much else to like but imho NOT the camera.

I have read a few posts about this, but I haven't seen anyone post a solution they loved.

I adore my note 4, but I'm about to go exchange it for an iphone 6 (I know, I know). I love android and all the functionality, and the note 4 is great. But - I can't, for the life of me, get it to take good pictures of objects that are always slightly in motion - most specifically, my kids indoors. I have a million pictures with kids' faces blurry. I have tried sports mode. I have tried playing with the ISO. I have tried doing burst mode (helped a tiny bit). I am still just getting tons of blur. My phone camera is the primary camera I always have with me. I borrowed my mom's iphone 6 to see if it's just me, and I can get clear, fast pics, pretty much every time with her phone camera, no adjustment needed.

Help me! I by far prefer the note, but if I can't get good pictures, it will have to go.

Hope u didn't get the iPhone anyway go in to your setting a select the action mode that will speed up the camera and will catch that fast moving stuff you guys just need to stop shooting in auto mode learn how to use your options by the way if your shooting in low light action shots most if not all cell phones will fell including the iPhone here's a hint get yourself a dslr yes a real camera where the sensor and shutter speed are why better so keep the note and get a camera
