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.

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.

what is the type 4 setting?
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

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.

Latest Google Camera is now available at Playstore
I curious on Note 3 owners going to use Google Camera over Stock phone camera. I can't decide but low light pictures seems better on Google's . Thoughts please share ...

Low light on the Note 3 using Google camera app.

Same conditions: angle, distance, ligt (low light)

Google camera:
Some differences: (S=samsung, G=google)
For the same distance, Google camera cropping is wider, also more noisier/sharper.

Just realized that you took the extra effort and wrote down G or S on the objects that you took a pic of. Made me lol! Great idea and 5 stars for the effort

It's not a one stop replacement to the stock camera. However, this is the first release....I am sure with updates we will have more to see.

Am I an idiot or is the only way to record a video is turning off the screen and then holding it landscape and hitting volume?
Whenever I hit the camera app while it is unlocked, it only gives me camera and selfie options. I can't find any video recorder shortcut.
This is on the latest firmware (after the OTA).
If you open the camera app. Tap the button in the lower right, you should see a page with options, one of which is video

There's no button in the lower right.
The button on the lower left only gives me selfie and camera.

That's not looking right to me. I've got a series of options on my camera that aren't showing there. Anything non stock in your ROM??

I just got the phone today and haven't done anything.
Back to the store I think, probably something wrong with the phone software, but if you haven't altered anything, they should just exchange it.

I figured out the problem.
It's cause I changed to the Google Now Launcher.
Can't believe the camera relies on BlinkFeed...
Is there any way to get around this? Or any other launchers that don't do this?
I'm using apex launcher, with a shortcut to activate blinkfeed, like it a lot, no issues with the camera or anything else that I've found. Glad you got it working.
