Camera

Why is the camera on the S21 ultra so bad.

Any object that moves is a blurry mess. The same happens with night time photos. Any street lighting is just a big blob of light.

It is a really expensive telephone. I had hoped for more.

I have factory reset the phone. Cleared the cache. Reset the camera app but pictures are not sharp in any setting.

Is it a problem with the phone or is this what it is?

You haven't understood anything I wrote anyway. You keep carrying on about settings and lighting when I've clearly laid out that those factors are moot. It's obvious you don't understand the problem with you or the camera so yea, definitely not a benefit to anyone at all. Peace.

I've had blur problems on 1x mode since the October or November software update. Before that it was crisp and clear on all zoom levels, but since then, I am unable to take a photo on 1x that is not blurry, day, night, sunny, cloudy, anything.
Bit of a waste of £1,300.

Yeah idk wtf you are talking about I took a very vivid picture of the moon with my s21 ultra in auto mode. Might be a factory defect in certain devices but I can assure you mine is doing just right unless I use pro mode and set the shutter speed to 30 in the dark. Yes it absorbs more light but the tiniest shift in position seem to cause it to be blurry ( I'm not a surgeon so I can be shaky) pro mode also disables the stabilizer the s21 ultra has. I'm not sure how to enable it in pro mode but for those who won't believe the photo is attached enjoy my point and shoot moon pic with the 100x zoom function smh...

That's a great pic. My phone would never take that no matter what I did.

Pugs is wrong. My pixel 4xl could handle low light moving objects, like kids indoors. It's well known Samsung has this issue and not IPhone or Pixels.

It's hard to believe my 4 year old phone did better than this 24 ultra manages. Wish I'd researched this before selling my 4xl.
