Root [T-Mobile] My camera is taking really dark pictures, help please?

[AM1017]

So I just received my Samsung Galaxy S3 last week, and I noticed that the lighting in the pictures always come out funny. Sometimes too dark, sometimes yellowish, and they come out very different than what they look like when you're taking pictures. In the camera they look amazing, but then in the gallery they look dark, blurry, sometimes yellow, etc. Can someone help me with this? I hate to think that I spent so much money on a phone with a crappy camera...is there an update or some settings i can change? any advice would help, thanks.

The first thing I'd try is resetting the camera settings to default (open the camera, touch the gear icon in the lower left corner, scroll all the way to the bottom to "reset"). If you still have issues afterthat, it could be a hardware issue- I've gotten nothing but good pictures so far from mine, although it did take me a while to figure out I had to change the flash setting to "auto", it was set to off.

Hope that helps!
