No. Fixed position lense and no digital zoom (speaking of which why the hell do people use digital zoom).

You can have digital zoom with the last camera ZOOM FX paid app

why take a photo then crop it when you can just get it all done then and there. I personally like digital zoom. Plus it just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling your phone does that "one more thing"

Digital zoom is what I meant so does have it ?

Your question is answered in Post 3.
FYI - Use the Type 4 setting to enable the zoom. This is the option I use on my NS.

Nice~
Superb in bright places. Simple, but no option to customize, low quality image capped by camcorder default (it should ultilize the 8mp trump). Can't expect much of a beta version though. Btw, thanks for sharing!

Was there ever zoom in NS? I don't think there was. Either way its just a digital zoom, so not proper anyway.
If you really want it you can install an app like camera360 from the market

Slow video recording autofocus

The lens takes at least two seconds to auto focus in video recording mode while the iPhone 4s is instant. I know this problem is rectified for galaxy s2 owners by downloading lgcamera app which allows you to change the auto focus mode, but the app doesn't work properly for us. Is there any solution for us skyrocket owners?

Kamcorder in the market is working well for me but I am still looking for something with more settings.

Thanks for the useful reply.... That app does nothing for auto focus
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It auto focuses just fine for me ??? Sorry it doesn't meet your needs
(When you mentioned LG cam I got the impression you were looking for an app, kamcorder is what I started using when I found LG cam did not work)
I guess if you were looking for iPhone functionality I could give my typically Icrap response....get an iPhone

Face lock on nexus s 4.0.4.

Can anyone post the face lock for 4.0.4.? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my nexus s using xda app
You have to download the old Gapps package that supports it. It is very slow and barely works if it works at all in the NS.

True, because of the VGA-quality front facing camera on the nexus s, Face unlock cannot distinguish your features as well as the GNex front facing camera (1.3 Megapixels). On the NS, its a broken gimmick more than a useful screen lock.
There's a reason behind everything, the reason they didn't include this feature in the Nexus S is because it wouldn't be very good. Just like the other users stated, the front facing camera quality is not good enough.
Here is the link for the face unlock download.

Selective Focus for Nexus 5 [request]

I was really impressed with Galaxy S5s selective focus mode. It would be amazing to have that feature on Nexus 5!
Any more info?

I have a similar request of this sort, maybe an app that can focus on a single object and blur out the background. Is such a thing possible for the nexus 5?

sure, i do it all the time on my nexus 5. get the object you want focused on in your screen, tap the image in your screen(touch to focus), shoot. your object will be in focus while everything else gets blurred.
Thanks mate

the closer that you are to the object, like a macro shot, the more blur you will get around, while the object in focus stays focused.
Look for tilt-shift functions.
CameraZoom FX has it for example.
