Hi, I got my i8000 repaired for GPS problem before which my camera was working great. Now when I take pictures, shutter speed seems to be slow. It looks like the flash is coming out first and then picture is being taken resulting in darker images. This happens even if I select storage card, my storage or my device.

I've googgled around and found more people with similar problem but nobody posted any solution. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

I know what you're referring to ..... it always happens when I try to use the flash as a fill flash.

In complete darkness or really dark situation, it doesn't happen because the shutter speed is slow enough to pick up the flash light. When used as a fill flash in situations where shutter speed is not that slow, then the flash is practically as good as none as the shutter seems to have closed before the flash goes on.

Maybe this is because the flash is not designed as a fill flash, and is supposed to be used only in dark situations.

ray1234 as I said there was no such problem before getting my phone repaired for GPS problem from Samsung service centre, and before that I used camera for 4 months and it took excellent pics. It seems like shutter speed is too slow. When I take picture I can see flash coming and after its off I can hear the shutter sound taking picture.

Does anybody know of any registry setting that can improve this? or know that program that can speed up just this?

I flashed my phone to 6.1 and the flash worked fine. I then upgraded to windows 6.5 and then the flash is always out of sync as you describe. When I take a picture the flash comes up first and then the shutter clicks. The flash never lights up the picture as required. When I was running windows 6.1 it worked correctly. Can anyone release a cab or software to fix this?
