Digital Camera - General Topics

Is it possible with the XDA 2s to download pictures from my digi cam onto the XDA without using a PC? I want to be able to email high quality images for work while out of the office, but the built in camera is not good enough.

if your digicam uses an sd card; then yes. if the images are saved in the card; simply take it out and plug in the xda and download.
or a cf card; in this case you need the xda's backpack.
cheers

Thanks

If the camera uses CF you can buy a CF to SD adaptor so that the camera saves directly to the SD. Pull the SD out of the camera and put it in the xda.
on my mdaiii i have a 250kb limit so this is only about a 2-3 Mpixel camera, it couldn't send my 5MP file

to clarify, I can only mms a 250kB picture so this limited the resolution of the pic I could send

When you say 250kb limit is this by email? If I downloaded a 1 meg picture from my camera to the SD card and tried to email the pic by WiFi would it work?
Also I have a Sony camera, any recommendations?
Thanks

sony use their own odd flash std dont know if you can get some converter
and you should be able to attach pictures and any file at any size to your emails but it would take forever and cost a a lot to send them
i pay 2Euro pr MB when i use grps

Camera Software

Hey guys. Got a question. I ran a patch on my phone to use SHDC card and it worked great. I now have an 8 GB micro card in my phone. (O2 XDA Stealth) Problem is, the other day I went to use the win mo camera and it won't recognize the micro card. Every other software works just fine. I never liked the built in cam anyways. Is there any third part cam software? That takes pictures and videos? My current solution has been to use the onboard memory.
Try CoolCamera from www.ateksoft.com
I have found that making a network folder visible, with software such a resco explorer, means that the camera will no longer save to the storage card.
Thank You so much seether. I will be trying the software on the site. I am at the office right now but it looks like that might just be exactly like what I was looking for. Again, thank you very much.
update: it did not work. I got a green screen.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30610641#post30610641
Instructions are in page 28...
this camera allows you to change your storage location in JB.....this camera should be in the standard ROMs.
easy install instructios
1. unzip
2. find the gallery2.apk (copy)
3. use root explorer
4. go-to system/apps
5. set R/W
5. rename gallery2.apk (justincase)
6. paste new gallery2.apk
7. install new gallery2.apk
8. reboot

Got this to work using the above instructions however after I snap a picture and then click on the preview it takes me back to where the internal sd card pics were saved. I have it set to save to sd card and if I back out of the camera app and then go into the gallery app the picture is there and saved on the external card. May just be a bug Ill have to live with but works great otherwise!

Yeah its a bug. If you store the pics on the internal card you can view while in camera mode. If you choose external card then you have to back out and view pics through the gallery. A small price to pay for such a great camera

Ok that's what I figured. I use my camera to take pictures of fish I catch while on my kayak. I upload them to a site called kayakwars as a contest and for whatever reason when they are stored on internal sd it has issues on the site uploading them. External sd works fine though so thats why its important to me.

[Q] Photos on SD card?

Hi all. I'm new to the Asus Transformer, but a veteran of Android.
Having got over the shock of 'APP2SD' not letting me put my apps on the SD card, I have a related question.
Is it possible to get the TF to *automatically* put all the pics I take on the camera onto SD card (rather than store them on the device)?
Also, how do I make use of the McroSD card? If Apps can't be stored there, what can? Do 'settings' and cache data get stored on the card automatically?
I guess I'm trying to get my head round how I might best use the extra space offered on the card.
Thanks folks!

The idea is that 16GB is more than enough to hold your apps and pictures, everything else can go on the SD cards. I use the microsd for movies and music, the dock sd for backups and such. There's a workaround for Apps2SD and such, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it.
You can move your pictures manually from the internal storage to external ones using apps like ES File explorer that's free on the play store.
Thanks
Cheers - my thoughts exactly!
..and the Apps2SD workaround looks pretty scary - even to a well seasoned android user like me

I store media on the microSD.
Also, check out Camera ICS and FX Camera. Both of these allow pictures to be stored on the external memory.
Photos on SD
Thanks Frederuco
That's helpful. I tried the two apps and although they allow me to put pics on the SD, they seem to have lost the 16:9 widescreen option for the pics. Do you know of any that retain this?
Thanks

I think CameraX does both those things but I'm not 100% sure and it's not free so don't take my word for it, just a suggestion (someone once told me when you buy an app you have 15 minutes to get a refund - is that still true?). Lots of people complained about the lack of 16:9 and there's quite a few modified camera software that support it poping up for random devices here on xda... doesn't look like anyone did for this one though.

I am not sure, I don't shoot 16:9 myself. If I want a 16:9 shot, I just crop it down. I rarely shoot with my TF because my phone has an 8 MP shooter, and I have a DSLR when I am serious about shooting.

Yes they still have a 15 minute return policy.

Yes, CameraX gives the option to save elsewhere, but if I choose SD Card, it still saves the pics to the main storage area. I think it might be something to do with the restrictions Asus places on saving SOME stuff to SD

Camera and save photo in sd card

Hi everybody,
i have a problem with my Samsung S Advance with JellyMOD 4.0 and cocore kernel 6.0.
last day i lost all my camera photo, i don't know how, why...
fortunally i restore my camera photos with diskdigger. ( i use a lot of times the stock camera )
now my question is:
1) can i save my camera photos in phone memory and sd card memory in the same time? like a raid.
so when i get a new photo, this photo will be stored in 2 different place and the risk to lost all one more time is zero.
2) i tried also to select external micro sd in stock camera but in option or settings in camera, i can select only internal memory phone, i don't understand why, i tried to formatted micro sd, wipe cache, wipe dalvik without success, but in settings and memory i can see my micro sd empty and with a file manager i can explorer my sd, put files etc, so it works... strange
i hope that someone can help me, i won't use apps lik dropbox that store my personal photos in internet, i take care about my privacy.
Hello,
I suggest you create a backup of your pictures you take using your phone camera on your computer in case this happens again. Your camera photos should be located in the default DCIM folder. I understand how weary you are of using Dropbox, but I've found the service to be very safe for remotely storing your data. Currently, I'm using Google Drive to back up my things.
I recommend you give it a try.

256GB SD permissions and raw photos?

Many times a simple problem turns complex....... like now.
I take many photos on my phone, dSLR, GoPro, MavicPro, etc. and always shoot RAW. I do my post processing in Lightroom and Photoshop. On my S8+ I discovered LR is not importing the .DNG files. I find out it seems they need to be in the Camera Roll and I configured the stock camera to store them on the SD. I'm using the promo 256GB Samsung SD.
OK. I'll poke around with a file manager. In the rocess I find and try to delete an old folder. It asks for permission to access, I think no problem I've seen this many times before. HOWEVER, I can not grant permission the SD does not appear on the permissions screen!! Then I try a different software and see that the card is defined differently. One software even has it as a USB drive. Another simply calls it "Storage". In any case, I can't do much with it. The system seems to access it just fine in most cases.
I think OK I'll re-format it, dead end. How about merging it with the internal storage to have one huge single place for storage (not my favorite way since I may need to read the SD in a different device in case of a failure), this would solve my Lightroom issue as then I save .DNGs to the internal Camera Roll, nope.
I know I'm rambling.
The questions are:
Can this big SD be merged with the internal storage? Is there a size limit or is that not possible any more?
Anyone else using Lightroom Mobile and shooting RAW? What is your workflow?
