Hi is anybody elese having problems with the camera in macro or auto focus. In that it will focus then go out of focus when you press the shutter button. So far it is just 8mp of digital rubbish. If this is the best it's going to get I am going back to my HD2 because so far I am far from impressed with it. HTC stop playing worm and leave apple alone and sort this device out.

I would imagine the DOF (depth of field) is very small and the slightest moment would make you're subject out of focus.

Maybe but the strange thing is if I get in in the right position and just tap the shutter button it will hold it, again not ideal. I use the camera to take pictures of small QR codes located on electronic assemblies.

I find that if I uncheck auto-focus especially on macro shots, it focuses better if you tap screen to focus.
Thanks, that is a whole lot better.

the Auto focus is only for pre recording, it sets the focus and one you hit record it can not be adjusted just like a Digi video camera.
Well, keep in mind that this thing is a telephone with a camera, not the other way around.
For all of the fancy (and VERY useful) features like predictive autofocus, servo autofocus, image stabilization, etc, you'd most likely need to invest in a full-on camera or cam-corder.
Try this: open camera, take a picture, and when pressing the back button to exit the camera put your ear close to the phone and can you hear a little "click"? I can hear it from my device, and as much as I can tell, it's mechanical, not from the system or any software.
This doesn't make sense unless there are moving parts associated with the camera hardware.
yes....i can hear it... and it was there in my DHD too... something related to camera lens hardware.....i feel so
I heard it in my previous phone too (SE Vivaz, piece of ****, but the camera was awesome! (Also 8 MP)) It's something with the camera hardware (probably)

No prob we all get paranoid with new devices

Have you never used a non-mobilephone camera in your life? It's simply the camera adjusting focus, or rather resetting it when you close the app. Older phones can't do this, the Sensation can. There is effectively a mechanical movement.
It happened to my Dell streak too. It 's not a problem I think.

Its the auto-focus relaxing
Happens on all HTC devices since the diamond

Does anyone know if the camera is actually that different from the sensations or is it just a different camera app?

Couple diff lines in the script for the no shot delay, and the panorama shot. The camera has been somewhat ported over in our apps section. Some people report it working, others can't get it to work.

The slide has a better hardware camera. It has a f2.2 aperture lens. Basically it can let in more light. HTC says its the best camera ever on a phone which I say is BS. They probably forgot about Nokia's Lenses. They make the best camera phones.
Hi all,
Got a slight issue here, not sure if i'm not doing it right but i have tried all kinds of settings and nothing worked.
Anyway, heres what happened...... A butterfly flew into our work and was bugging everyone pretty much all day it eventually landed pretty much right next to me and i wanted to test out the macro on this phone, so i switched to close up and attempted to take a picture but it just came out all blurry, so i changed to different combinations of settings, always getting the same results, it kept focusing past perfection to blurriness??
Either way it was really annoying, I don't actually give a **** about butterflies i just wanted to be able to take a pic up close?
I'm running coredroid at the moment however i believe the camera is the native Sensation one. ??
Any ideas?
I notice that too. It focuses amazingly, and then instantly goes blurry. You have to be a couple of inches away before the macro works.

Is there a decent guide for the sensation camera? I find this to be worse than the desire hd. E.g. if I take a picture of my dog with flash his eyes are always glowing (flash reflection) on the sensation, but never on the desire hd

The camera is good enough for a phone. Buy something dedicated for that kind of work. And never use flash for making pictures, ever.

Poor close up photographs is a general photography issue. Having trouble avoiding blurry photos up close goes for any type of photography when you're taking shots handheld. That said, I just tried the close-up setting on a wireless mouse and a pen, and at about 4 inches away I'm getting clear shots even though I'm in low light right now.

But my point is flash works great on the desire hd and it's shocking on the sensation. That's not how it should be!

You obviously don't know anything about photography. Flash is absolutely needed in cases where there is insufficient lighting. Otherwise the output will lack detail and be noisy. If the direct flash is too intense, you can always use a reflective surface to produce a softer lighting.
Are you using the macro setting for the camera?
is there a way to get the camera to take a photo by pressing the vol button?
When taking a snap of me and the lady its hard to click on the on-screen button.
Would like to know as well companies should always dedicate a shutter button..

Yeah, I was literally shocked when i got the device. Is there a button shortage in htc land.
I would love to know why they chose not to have one
I'm pretty sure this question has been addressed somewhere but I don't know if they got anywhere with it. My solution is to use a 3rd party camera app for those instances. There are a few that support the volume key as a shutter. Camera360, Camera ZOOM FX and Vignette are all capable of taking regular pictures using the volume. Just make sure you go through each ones settings to make sure its setup how you like. Vignette likes to take pictures with random effects until you tell it to stop on first startup for example.
