Well I would think you might get better response from posting your question in the CM7 thread. Just a friendly suggestion.

Mine doesn't focus when I move image of a water bottle closer to the camera. I can't read the letters.

do you guys have focus set to continues?
If not it will only focus when you touch the screen.

Yeah it keeps freezing after like 15 seconds.....IDK if this can be fixed really. I just turn the cam off and back on and unfreezes and then it freezes again.
mine froze the first couple times. now it is fine.
We got the freezing issue too. Gonna keep testing it out

Which APK did you install? Or are they all the same? The stupid thing is that I don't even really use Skype at all. I just want it to work properly.

I have the apk from the galaxy 2 forum and it works great in landscape and with the front camera. Is there any version that works with the rear camera and/or portrait?

Is there no way to make it portrait instead of landscape?

[Q] Focus on Video Camera?

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a modded camera.apk or anything that will let you focus on the video camera...i would like to take video to things close up but since i can't focus its no good :/ So if anyone knows of an app that lets you focus on video camera please let me know.. Thanks
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Don't know if its the same thing, whitehawx just posted a modded camera app in his valhalla custom ROM thread somewhere on page 15/16ish. It let's you auto use the power button to take pictures. It will auto focus before taking the picture, but you still need to be at least 4 or 5 inches away from the object though.
He wants to focus Video, so no not the same thing

Camera - any way to manually focus?

When working with the camera, sometimes the autofocus seems fickle and does not get the focus good. Is there any way I can do manual focus? Do I need another app for that?
Thanks

Yes just touch the screen when you are in the camera app. A small white box will appear and you can manually focus.

So long as he's using the stock Camera app!
No...he wants to set the focus distance by putting values like 5 cm, 6 cm or so...
This feature is mostly found in LG's cam appz

Replace Sensation camera?

Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.
Is sending it in for repairs an option?
Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.
My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

right i wish i didnt root this thing the day i got it so i could remember how stock camera was!
I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.
Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.

Shooting in the dark?

Has anyone else noticed that the camera is pretty useless when shooting in the dark?
The flash does not come on before the picture is taken, so the camera does not have time to focus. All the pictures are pointing in the wrong direction as I cannot see what it's pointing at and are totally out of focus.
Not impressed. Am I missing something?

As a workaround, you can shoot stills while shooting video with the flash on.

Yes, for example a light flash in order to focus before full power flash and shot.
with other phone I have turned on the flashlight and left it on before turning on the camera. That works fine.

couldn't resist!
I hope they will put an option to turn on flash before taking a photo. I'm using CameraFX just for that, for the time being :cyclops:
