Black lines in darker conditions on the camera

[Eddief]

Is anyone else facing this issue? I've had my phone 2 days now and I've just noticed an issue with the camera (it's the same on insta and Snapchat too) when I'm in darker conditions I get lines going from the right to the left of the camera

If this is happening in doors and you have LED light bulbs. The 50 htz frequency of the electricity is what causes the LED lights to to flicker and do this effect on digital cameras and film.
If I'm filming, I use a diffuser on my lighting to help scatter the light emitted and it reduces this effect. Or use an incandescent bulb.
This effect is not a defect with the phone, as I get the same thing with other phones and my digital cameras.
Changing the frame rate of what your filming can reduce this effect as well

Thank you for the information

OMG thank you! I wish I'd seen this before sending my first phone back to Samsung. I just got my replacement tonight and it has the same thing. That's when I went to Google. 

Too bad the Samsung rep I spent 1.5 hours trying to "fix" the first phone with didn't know about this!

Wait... shouldn't a phone this expensive, account for people having LED light bulbs by now?
