Camera Sharpness

[BeefJerky]

So, from experimenting with the camera, it is clear that the software applies a noise and/or blur filter by default (i.e. sharpness setting of 0). When setting the sharpness to +2 the pictures come out with more actual detail since it no longer applies those filters. The same applies to the video camera as well.

The big problem is that the camera app will not remember the sharpness settings after exiting. I've tried other camera apps, and while they do not apply the noise/blur filters, they all have other issues. Simply put, none of them work as well as the Samsung app (especially the video portion).

Is the common with Samsung camera apps? Is there a workaround? If rooting is required to fix it, I have no problem doing that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for letting us know about the sharpness, I didn't hear about it til now.
Samsung software has a way of NOT remembering settings, and I'm not sure if
it's actually them or Android, but I've encountered disappearing widgets...

I haven't experienced any disappearing widgets in TouchWiz yet. However, I'm sure once I say that, it will happen; my luck works that way.

So far a launcher pro plus people widget and the google voice inbox...
Hasn't done so since I updated to EE4.

My camera crashed my phone a week ago (during my daughter's wedding!) and Amazon is sending me a new one; also noticed that the settings do not hold. Did you find any help any where else on the forum - don't think your question was fully answered here. I haven't as yet, but if I do I'll reply back to this.

Nope, I never did get much of a response on this issue. I've had the camera reboot the phone a couple of times, but never completely crashed. That is odd; sorry that happened to you.
