Does anyone know a camera app that uses the full screen of the tab?
With the integrated camera app not using autofocus it is mostly useless to me since i cant read any text i photograph.
I tried several other apps. They all use the autofocus and it works great, but they dont utilize the full screen of the tab.
The camera app in JM6 features touch-to-focus, and I have no problems making photos of text. Maybe i could post the apk + odex files, for testing on stock firmware.
Yes, the app works fine, its me that didnt function correctly.
You just have to hold the button down, it will autofocus and beep when done.
Thanks very much for thay info now alsi i Focus.

Another strong user of Vignette here.
I posted a topic on the use of Vignette over the stock camera App.
Vignette has so much more to offer and one special mention has to go with 'Zoom'. As you all know the default camera has no zoom but id you use Vignette it uses a very clever 'live crop' tool that works very much like a zoom.
An added benefit is you get to see the surrounding area you are cropping out of the shot..... AND the shot taken is so, so much better than the default camera App.
Much greater detail, cleaner, sharper focus and better colours.
Next is the settings..... there is an absolute MAMMOTH of settings to choose from.
I have one customized that gives me an 'ND Filter' at a touch of a button.
In my experience, if you're looking for the most options & filters, then Vignette is the way to go. But if you're looking to take the best possible "normal" photos, Camera360 is tops for that.
I don't know what it is, but Camera360 shots ALWAYS are clearer & much more detailed/cleaner looking in comparison shots against Vignette.

I must confess, although I have great admiration for Vignette, Camera360 Ultimate definitely does have some very good settings.
Of particular value I find the 'Tilt-Shift' to be fantastic. I also like the focus settings with it's 'Manual Focus' where you can focus on a subject then move the camera to another subject to throw the focus out.
So, my recommendation for photography would be Vignette & Camera360 Ultimate for taking the shot and Picsay Pro to post edit for even better image processed results.

Hi guys!
I really enjoy the X10 camera, but I think that jpeg compression is too high. I was comparing images captured with Snap Photo and with the bundled camera software to show you how Snap Photo retains a lot more detail, even their maximum resolution it is lot smaller than 8MP. But today I not being able to take pictures larger than 640x480, probably a bug! =\
Anyway, somebody knows a camera software that uses the entire 8mp camera and has better compression settings than original camera software?
If I root my X10, there is a chance to change those compression settings?

+1000000000000000
Just downloaded the demo version of vignette.. it's reet proper bo I tell thee... Hee. Hee. Shamon..
+1 for Vignette! Its worth the $4 or whatever it is. Even just for the flash support.
Vignette all the way.
reasons being.
Flash Support ON/OFF/AUTO
lower compression photos between 3.5mb and 8mb
(meaning more info in the photos for blown up prints and editing)
higher DPI (original S.E. camra app 72dpi, vignette 96dpi) meaning deeper better images
and many many effects.
although i thought the processing time for photos was annoying but you can just take photos and lock ur phone and it will finish up in sleep mode.
definitely worth the money.

How do you used the x10's full 8mp on Vignette, it seems to only go up to 3.1mp?
Thanks
If you have the latest version, 2010-07-06.4, there's a button on the screen that gives you instant access, where the largest file size under JPEG file settings is listed as "X - 8.0 megapixels".
Older versions only go up to 3.1MP.
Ok thanks, ill purchase an update.

Like somebody else said... if you take picture of rocks ... yes, true.
For anything else is too slow. Till it saves the first image the moment is gone.
Birds fly, kids run ... and so on...
Dear all members,
I notice that default camera app cannot have timestamp with date when you take photo.
I have also tried out Vignette and find it better than the stock camera app as it has the auto flash function.
Anyone know whether these is better camera apps?

I've tried most of the other camera apps and ended up buying Vignette. It is one of the few that takes full 8mp photos, the focusing works correctly, and it saves the images to the SDcard\DCIM folder.
Camera360 was okay, but I found the photos weren't up to par detail-wise, and I didn't like the interface so much.
I still use the SE Camera app for video.

Thanks for your feedback, I am using vignette full version but it does not have the time stamp for photos. I do like the touch to take photos.

I have Vignette as well but i feel that it doesnt take the photo as fast as the stock camera. I end up just missing the moment i wanted to capture. Anyone else experience this? That being said i find i use the stock camera more often than not.

ive been using the stock camera, silent cam, and vignette. i lile vignette the best, but what i really want is a camera with a manual focus. if anyone knows of anything or if its possible please reply.
I want a camera app where i can control ISO speed
You and others are asking too much out of a phone. Go get a digital camera, better convenience.
Sorry in advance if my words are harsh to bear.

What he said
I wonder if it's possible to read the ISO, shutter etc from the camera. I'm guessing the API abstracts and hides these settings; or perhaps Sony restrict them from being set.
Obviously the aperture is fixed (f2.8) for this type of camera lens.
I've noticed that the ISO is often increased to ISO1000 when it doesn't seem to be necessary. And at other times, the camera selects a very slow shutter speed (1/8sec) when it should increase the ISO, to prevent blurring.

Vingette doesnt allow zoom in 8mp which completely ruined the program for me.... it focuses on one point rather than zoom the full image. is this a known issue with the ap or is it just me?

When you actually take the photo it should look the same as default camera. That's sort of how digital zoom works. I'm failing to be able to describe it properly though

Hello, sorry if this in the wrong subforum, but I wanted to ask, is there an camera app for S4 which lets you take manual control over the camera?
I mean stuff like shutterspeed, aperature etc.
I think the S4 camera has much potential then the default camera app shows it to have.
Also, would like manual control over the video mode.

There isnt but you can give a try a few good ones,
-Camera fv-5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro
-Snap Camera HDR
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
-DSLR
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera
the closest one for what your looking for it is Camera-Fv5 but i recommend all of them.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
The aperture is fixed at 2.2 anyway
I've been looking for an app with real manual focus but I can't find any, I've tried FV-5 and couple others but none of them have actual manual focusing. I'm not looking for touch focus where you select the object you want to be manually focused, I want an app with some kind of slider where I can just manually focus like using a professional camera where you spin the lens to adjust the focus your-self. Anyone knows any app that have this option?
Thanks!

Smartphones cameras are very limited. If you are looking for a professional focus; better buy a professional camera.

How come? Whats the difference between auto focus and manual focus? Auto focus just runs an algorithm that selects best focus it could find, I don't see a reason why you couldn't set this manually as a simple variable.

Because the apps themselves don't control the focus, the system does

Camera API doesn't allow for manual focus. That's all there is to it.
what about camera API 2.0? they are supposed to release controls for a lot of functions

Possibly but I doubt it.
L will provide.
Many of the finer control configurations can also be modified, including:
Exposure time
ISO Sensitivity
Frame duration
Lens focus distance
Flash trigger
Color correction matrix
JPEG metadata
Tonemap curve
Crop region
AE / AF / AWB mode
AE / AWB lock
AF trigger
Precapture AE trigger
Metering regions
Exposure compensation
Target FPS range
Capture intent
Video stabilization
AFAIK there is no third party camera app with those function supported on N5,I mean at least ISO/exposure manual setting like other phone did. hope it availble on L

Manual focusing function is available on some Chinese phones. Seems that if you use camera360 and your cellphone supports manual focusing, camera360 will provide this option. Unfortunately I've used MI2 (manufactured by xiaomi), and Nexus5, neither of them seems to support this function.
Time for someone to make this
It'd be awesome. Imagine all those bokeh pics with our Nexus 5

i dont really understand what youre trying to ask. you want an app to "manually" focus, but you dont want to touch to focus on a specific object? youre comparing hardware vs software when youre saying "using a professional camera where you spin the lens focus ring to focus"? . tapping on the screen to select a specific object to focus is technically in your term 'manual' focus. our phones dont have a dedicated hardware knob/switch for such control.
are you looking for something to take photos or shoot videos? if youre talking about photos, google camera already have this feature to select to focus.
I've got focus control via volume keys on standard camera. Think it's due to an xposed module I downloaded. It's a while back but works great. Used it an hour ago

thats not a focus control. thats focusing on the background or foreground. and you can do that without a setting control, if you know how. manual focus is like on a real camera, where you spin the lens until youre focused on what you want.

Handy for some types of photography where you know where the action will take place - things like sports and weddings spring to mind.
You know that the player/bride/whatever will be at a specific location, and you don't want your camera wasting time trying to focus when you know you'll only get one shot.
That feature is available in Lumia phones as well. The manual focus really helps when you want to focus some objects which are very close to the camera. Auto focus and tapping on the object will focus the nearby object for a split second but again it will go out of focus. Manual focus will help in capturing macro images of such objects. I am also looking for such a feature in many camera apps, but could not find it. Hope someone creates an app
Hi guys,
is there a fix for the blurry pictures that come out of CM Camera?
With auto and ISO HJR, I've often blurry pictures..
is there a fix to lower shutter time? it's a shame to have such a good sensor and a bad software under it...

XNPH44S stock
The camera prefer to have low ISO and too high time exposure so it takes blurry picture
Please try out the "Sport" and "Action" mode if you haven't already. Those might yield the result you are after. I've also notice that OnePlus's camera requires some steady hands to achieve blur-free pictures. If possible try getting a mini tripod for it and boom problem solved. Or if you don't want to make any other purchase, go grab the "Perfectly Clear" app from Amazon app store (for free right now), the app features a very effective anti-shake feature that helps alot (from my experience) plus other good features that the stock camera app lacks. Let me know how it works out for you
I'll try perfectly clear... I hope cyanogen team will fix his camera app
