Taking photos...is it me or are there camera problems?

[ckmerc]

I am noticing that when taking pictures with iPad 3 the light has to be just right or pics turn out bad...colors bleed if too bright out or pics turn out grainy if light is just a bit too low. Any thoughts or advice? I am thinking it may be because the screen is soo vivid it show pic flaws more so vs other tablets......

Low-end camera don't work well in low-light situations.

Yeah, you pretty much would need ideal lighting conditions to take decent pics with the new iPad's camera. Though it's a big leap from the one found on the iPad 2, it uses the same CMOS 5MP found on the iPhone 4. I found that outdoor settings or a bright sunlit room will give you pretty nice pics with closer to accurate color saturation and minimal grain. I have to say that I would hardly ever use the camera though. Just too awkward for a tablet.

Hello ckmerc, the only setting you can make on the camera app is by enabling the grid. The iPad "camera" is a very simple basic image recorder. When you record a digital image on the iPad, you can launch another app like iPhoto and rework the image.

Snapseed and iPhoto seem to be the two most widely used.
