Help Problem with the Galaxy S3 front camera

[isberika]

Hi, I'm a new member here. It's good to see that there is a forum that can help me with the problem I have with my galaxy S3.
I tried taking some photos with the front camera in the phone, and at first, it worked pretty well. The camera quality was good, just like the non-front camera.
But I realized later that it turns out to be okay at first but when I click "save" and check out the photo, the photo has become blurry and the color tone of the picture has turned a bit pink. It looks like a picture taken with a really crappy camera.
I don't know why this is happening. Can somebody help?
Thanks!

p.s. The jpg files that I have attached shows the difference between the picture taken with my phone's front camera and the "normal picture" (how the picture taken with the front camera should turn out to be.. I took this with my non-front camera).

off hand it could be because the front camera is 1.9 megapixels and the rear camera is 8.0 megapixels

If it was the problem with the megapixels, then the picture would look blurry, even on the display. It looks fine at the display. I tried taking a video using the front camera, and the video had no blur. It was sharp and good. If megapixels was the problem, then the video should have had blurs and smudges too.

The front camera is using a different image sensor, it is a crappy camera. The only thing you might be able to change is the pink tint you mentioned by using a different camera app.
