Yep, your missing the gear. You should reboot phone to see if it fixes it and if that don't, factory reset, if still no gear, take it where you bought it and show them. You should get a new phone.

In camera mode, click the gear, look for ISO, click it and pick what you need.

Hi everyone just thought id ask. when i first got the S5 it took some really crisp snappy photos. they took instantly and came out crystal clear. which were brilliant. i had to do a factory reset to try and cure a problem (which didn't work) and now the camera shots appear to not be as sharp. infact in comparison to my s3 i would say it wasn't any better. some of the s3 shots come out crisper.
I have tinkered with the settings and no joy. i put them back to default again. i have checked the lens hasn't got a fingerprint on. it hasn't. i can see a very very faint arc inside the lens cover around the outside of the lens. don't know if that just my eyes sight but i don't recall it being there before. I have the phone 3 weeks and its never been dropped, thrown or even slightly man handled.
what have i done to my lovely s5? Ive tried tinkering with the settings etc and i don't understand why it isn't taking photos as good as before. i have turned picture stabilisation off as i kept trying to take photos of the kids but everything was a bit hazy. i took a photo of my garden but the whole picture isn't in focus. Some of it is and some of it isn't and you can't make out all the blades of grass. You'd of though it was an 5 or 8mp camera and not a 16. i took a photo of the kids in the forest and the same thing again. some of the shot is in focus and some of it isn't. its on auto same as before. when compared to my s3 the s3 is a lot punchier.
has my camera developed a fault or is it because of the factory reset? or am i just expecting too much?

My wife and I went up to Mt Rainier National Park yesterday. Gorgeous day.
This was at the 114 year old Paradise Lodge Inn Restaurant.
Taken from the Lodge.
At Reflection Lake that was just starting to thaw out.
I'm pretty pleased the way the S5 is doing. Could be a little better indoors though.

Oh sorry mate not good with your camera :-(
regarding 5 second delay taking snaps, your wife might have image stabilisation on. Try turning it off

Might work. Not sure.
I wonder if it's the upload or your browser getting confused.
Can you share one of the links so I/we can check it with you?

Google makes photo sharing really hard (not like before) without us joining G+ circles and a chicken dance. Basically - I can't get to your pictures with those links.
Let's try this, it might work, I'm not sure but it used to -
Please bring up your pictures and try a right click, view picture. If that works, please copy and paste the link here.
And by the way - welcome to the forums!

Yep they uploaded here trojanmom - but - our web software shrinks everything.
I'm not familiar with your setup, but I'm wondering if you're somehow getting thumbnail views rather than the pictures themselves up to your Google Drive...
