Not yet a fix to lower flash for camera ?

It has been too long for all of us waiting for a fix so as to use camera in dark places, and not to obtain an "all white" picture .... (mostly in a short range 1-2 m)
Any idea how to fix that crazy too bright flash leds
i second this.. lol the photos i take are WHITE
I installed all hotfixes. The pictures with flash looks OK to me.
But Jpg compress still too high. High ISO produces pictures with red horizontal lines..
Seriously guys there's already a thread for this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590916 we dont need another!
If you have a problem with over exposed photos please contact htc and tell them, as with the pink blob the more complaints, the faster they acknowledge and make a fix thanks.

magnifying glass

is there any magnifying glass tool like iphone ? sorry for my english.
iam look for them too but i found noting
is nobody there how can program it
Yeah, it's possible, but it doesn't work everywhere (just in the text messaging screen, basically).
Look for this in the registry and change it to 1:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TextSelection\EnableMagnifier"

Great thing here =) thanks!
Magnifying glass
The one in the current iPhone TV ad looks very cool... haven't tried the registry tweak to enable the one mentioned above, but I suspect that's missing the point. The one I'd like to see would use the camera on the back of the HD2, preferably illuminated by the LEDs, and display a magnified image on the screen (the funky old-fashioned handle could be optional).
With a 5 megapixel camera, you could display at actual size just a portion of the image live would result in a 13x magnification without further processing. You could probably double that before pixels become jagged.
That would be far more impressive that what's possible with the iPhone.
Can't be that hard to program...???
@slowcat2:
This thread is about a 'virtual' magnifying glass that magnifies a part of your screen, specifically when selecting text, to increase the accuracy of your finger on the touch screen.
Your idea is actually pretty cool. I had my doubts at first, as I thought the HD2's camera and lens aren't good enough (even with its 5 megapixels) to offer a detailed and sharp image at close range; but then again, just using the built-in 2x zoom in the camera app, I already got a result that could be useful in some circumstances.

thanks, you are right, using the zoom is enough, good idea !

Actually, if I'm calculating correctly, since the pictures from the camera are 2592x1552 px, showing a portion of the image at actual pixel size on our 800x480 px screens would result in a 3,24x magnification (2592/800) along each axis. Or did I miss something?
Still, that's a lot more than what the zoom feature on the camera does, so there's room for improvement. Let's hope a developer picks this idea up!
Unless this has been bumped into another thread, I can't see how/why this hasn't been explored more. iPhone ads have a "Magnifying Glass" that obviously uses the camera lens to read images from the front and display them on the back (screen).
The HD2 has exactly the same physical make up of a camera lens on one side and a screen on the other and, when taking photos, this is utilised.
Presumably the LEDs would have to be forced on because of the closeness of the image and the camera would also have to be forced to maximum magnification, leaving the holder to move in and out to get focus.
The rest is just "tarting up".
I'd do it myself, if it weren't for a lack of time and talent!

Pictures taken are overexposed

Hello,
Using a Generic PDA, not any of the HTC Models with Win Mobile 6.1.
I notice though that on the preview the picture is fine but when I take the picture it is overly exposed, example when taking a picture with lots of whites, the whites go totally white, but on the preview it's fine.
I checked all the settings for exposure etc and all are set to default.
I was thinking there is software problem with the camera program on there. Is there any other programs that can take pictures that may not have this problem?
Any Ideas?
Thanks.

App for taking similar pictures using reference from previous picture

So i am hoping to find a camera app that will help me take near identical pictures each day. I am doing a weight loss challenge with some friends and want to take a picture each day and be able to string everything together into a video showing weight loss over time.
I can do my best to stand in the same place and snap a pic. But ideally I would like to be able to overlay yesterday's pic with transparency in a camera app so that I can have a reference point for distance, position, zoom, etc. For the next pic. Basically so that whoever is taking the pic can line up the daily pic with the exact position of the previous pic by overlapping the real image with yesterday's image..... Hopefully I'm making sense.
I've been searching for an app that will let me do this. Does one exist? or one of you bright people out there could write one and make $0.99 of of me. Any thoughts? Much appreciated!

camera question -
