Good Camera app?

Dear all members,
I notice that default camera app cannot have timestamp with date when you take photo.
I have also tried out Vignette and find it better than the stock camera app as it has the auto flash function.
Anyone know whether these is better camera apps?

I've tried most of the other camera apps and ended up buying Vignette. It is one of the few that takes full 8mp photos, the focusing works correctly, and it saves the images to the SDcard\DCIM folder.
Camera360 was okay, but I found the photos weren't up to par detail-wise, and I didn't like the interface so much.
I still use the SE Camera app for video.

Thanks for your feedback, I am using vignette full version but it does not have the time stamp for photos. I do like the touch to take photos.

I have Vignette as well but i feel that it doesnt take the photo as fast as the stock camera. I end up just missing the moment i wanted to capture. Anyone else experience this? That being said i find i use the stock camera more often than not.

ive been using the stock camera, silent cam, and vignette. i lile vignette the best, but what i really want is a camera with a manual focus. if anyone knows of anything or if its possible please reply.

I want a camera app where i can control ISO speed

You and others are asking too much out of a phone. Go get a digital camera, better convenience.
Sorry in advance if my words are harsh to bear.

What he said

I wonder if it's possible to read the ISO, shutter etc from the camera. I'm guessing the API abstracts and hides these settings; or perhaps Sony restrict them from being set.
Obviously the aperture is fixed (f2.8) for this type of camera lens.
I've noticed that the ISO is often increased to ISO1000 when it doesn't seem to be necessary. And at other times, the camera selects a very slow shutter speed (1/8sec) when it should increase the ISO, to prevent blurring.

Vingette doesnt allow zoom in 8mp which completely ruined the program for me.... it focuses on one point rather than zoom the full image. is this a known issue with the ap or is it just me?

When you actually take the photo it should look the same as default camera. That's sort of how digital zoom works. I'm failing to be able to describe it properly though

camera app for tab with autofocus?

Does anyone know a camera app that uses the full screen of the tab?
With the integrated camera app not using autofocus it is mostly useless to me since i cant read any text i photograph.
I tried several other apps. They all use the autofocus and it works great, but they dont utilize the full screen of the tab.

The camera app in JM6 features touch-to-focus, and I have no problems making photos of text. Maybe i could post the apk + odex files, for testing on stock firmware.

Yes, the app works fine, its me that didnt function correctly.
You just have to hold the button down, it will autofocus and beep when done.

Thanks very much for thay info now alsi i Focus.

Another strong user of Vignette here.
I posted a topic on the use of Vignette over the stock camera App.
Vignette has so much more to offer and one special mention has to go with 'Zoom'. As you all know the default camera has no zoom but id you use Vignette it uses a very clever 'live crop' tool that works very much like a zoom.
An added benefit is you get to see the surrounding area you are cropping out of the shot..... AND the shot taken is so, so much better than the default camera App.
Much greater detail, cleaner, sharper focus and better colours.
Next is the settings..... there is an absolute MAMMOTH of settings to choose from.
I have one customized that gives me an 'ND Filter' at a touch of a button.

In my experience, if you're looking for the most options & filters, then Vignette is the way to go. But if you're looking to take the best possible "normal" photos, Camera360 is tops for that.
I don't know what it is, but Camera360 shots ALWAYS are clearer & much more detailed/cleaner looking in comparison shots against Vignette.

I must confess, although I have great admiration for Vignette, Camera360 Ultimate definitely does have some very good settings.
Of particular value I find the 'Tilt-Shift' to be fantastic. I also like the focus settings with it's 'Manual Focus' where you can focus on a subject then move the camera to another subject to throw the focus out.
So, my recommendation for photography would be Vignette & Camera360 Ultimate for taking the shot and Picsay Pro to post edit for even better image processed results.

[App] [Request] Camera Intervalometer

So, I was wondering if there was an app that would allow me to take pictures with my phone camera at a specific intervals. And if not... If anyone would like to make one?
It would have to give me full options, full resolution, ISO, and any effects, etc.
So, thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeremy

I use an app called Camera Magic for this.. pretty basic as far as options go though.

Not with the native camera app (Moto help explicitly states this) but you can do so with any other camera app --- I use Camera Zoom FX (paid app) but you might find others to your liking
Unfortunately you can't change the default camera app on the lockscreen without being rooted, afaik (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, I'd love to swap it out).

Blurry picture

Hi guys,
is there a fix for the blurry pictures that come out of CM Camera?
With auto and ISO HJR, I've often blurry pictures..
is there a fix to lower shutter time? it's a shame to have such a good sensor and a bad software under it...

XNPH44S stock
The camera prefer to have low ISO and too high time exposure so it takes blurry picture

Please try out the "Sport" and "Action" mode if you haven't already. Those might yield the result you are after. I've also notice that OnePlus's camera requires some steady hands to achieve blur-free pictures. If possible try getting a mini tripod for it and boom problem solved. Or if you don't want to make any other purchase, go grab the "Perfectly Clear" app from Amazon app store (for free right now), the app features a very effective anti-shake feature that helps alot (from my experience) plus other good features that the stock camera app lacks. Let me know how it works out for you

I'll try perfectly clear... I hope cyanogen team will fix his camera app
