Jumping in here, new guy and all, with the typical panic attack over a new smartphone. 


Got this thing a couple weeks ago and only now realizing there's something wrong with the twin cameras when used for 3D.
The right side lens won't focus sometimes. First saw it happen in still photos, then video. For anyone with about 20/50 eyesight it's like that on the right side image, and looking normal (whatever that really is) from the left side camera.
I would post examples from a video screenshot and a photo but can't due to being a new member here, sorry.
I had used the camera for pictures and videos several times successfully before seeing this problem a few days ago. Only changes since getting it have been to the settings and returned to defaults.
Posting this to find out if others have had this happen, or so people will check their new EVO V's. It might not be obvious until you view the video/photo on a larger screen. Or do as I did and split the 3D into individual side by side (by conversion or preview). Otherwise the image might only look bad without a specific reason for it.
I have also noticed the 3D left/right pictures often appear to shift up/down in relation to each other instead of only side to side.
And yet another observation, 3D is always overexposed, with highlights more washed out than the same scene done in 2D. Reducing exposure in the settings helps somewhat but at the same time darkens the 2D pictures too much (not good for ease of use between the two!).
Something else to add about that last thing said, I found that if the camera button is half-pressed once, released and half-pressed again it can cause the 3D exposure to correct itself. Not every time though, and never enough to equal the results from the 2D camera.
Thanks for listening (reading).
