Shooting in the dark? - HTC One S

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:

Any more info? or screenshots etc?

Thanks snandlal!
Installed it like a regular app.
Works pretty well in both camera and video modes.
Wish it had more options though.
Thanks a lot.
This is a step in the right direction. Would be nice if someone could take this and add all the changes that cyan had added to the AOSP camera in his rom.

Sorry I don't have a screenshot, but if you have used CM6, in the early stages before Cyanogen added all the new features to the camera, it is the same camera. Shows up as 3mp, one user said that even though it says 3mp, it is actually 8mp. I can't confirm this, as I no longer have this camera app on my phone. Can anyone else confirm the MP on this camera? Easy way to do this, is to upload a pic to your computer and open it in any photo app. You can also find the pic on your phone and long press the pic and select "Details". What is the resolution of pics taken with this app?

No, the resolution of pictures this cam takes ARE 3mp. I confirmed the resolution after snapping a photo.

That's what I thought. I remembered the original camera from CM6 was only 3 and this looks like the exact same setup. I deleted when I saw the lack of options. I wish someone could mix in the changes that Cyanogen did to the cam app in CM6. That has a LOT of options.... lol

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.

If not it will only focus when you touch the screen.

Hi,
Open the camera and on the bottom left there is a magic wand.
Press that and it will give you all the effectsanorama,distortion,vignette etc.
I don't have panorama in the list of effects

Then you don't have the modified camera apk installed. It is NOT a stock feature on the sensation.
Hmm, pretty sure I've done it before.

Im guessing it might have something to do with the flash messing with the stereoscopic effect...it is located right between the two lenses. I'm with you, its annoying that I can't use the 3d camera in the dark. Have you tried increasing the exposure? It might help with the darkness bit I have a feeling it wont fix the image noise issue.

Ok thanks it mit e look weird with 2 lots of shadows but isn't there a place to request developers to make apps. If I could make an app I would make the 3d camera with flash

don't think that is the case cause evo 3d also has the flash between the lenses and it can be used with 3d pics without messing with the stereoscopic effect...
Yeah the flash wont mess with the stereoscopy any more than the lightbulb lighting your room does. Its just not an option to use it in the current app which is stupid as hell if you ask me.

Best panorama taking app?

Which apps that take great panorama pictures would you recommend? It doesn't matter if I have to pay
The stock camera app takes low res panoramas, around 3 MP , the colors are washed out/weird , it's awful, just like the stock camera app itself, I mean, really google no 16:9 6 MP picture option? No 60 fps 1080p video? No burst mode? I could go on and on ...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the stock app is the only one that does photosphere. I know Focal had some sort of spherical photo but I don't know how well it works. Anyway, photosphere stitches it well for me. Have you tried holding the phone in one place and simply tilting it? It won't work if if you just wave your phone around everywhere.
noticed too the stock camera is terrible at panoramas... bad stitching and really low res...
