Turn of review in the camera settings or download an app

Not sure if there's a way to capture a picture faster.
If you're trying to get a perfect moving shot of something, maybe you can set the capture mode to continuous.

wonder if there is a way to get the camera app from the sensation phone to work on our phones

You can't.. Cause sensation pixel density is way different and its firmware is different

download fxcamera from the market.

Yeah, buy the MT4G slide.
Lol, I kid I kid.
But there's no way to do so in the stock camera app. Maybe a 3rd party camera app will be your best bet.

fx camera is a nice app

Best camera app for the GSIII?

I know that we have plenty of camera apps out there, but I'm concerned about them not being optimized enough for specific devices. I've been pretty disappointed with the stock JB camera, so what is the most impressive app with the most features in the Play Store?

I think the stock camera is awesome. If there was someway to implement it into jelly beans ROMs that would be awesome. All the camera apps on the market are horrible in my opinion.

Camera Zoom FX works for me & it will let you use the volume button to snap a pic.

Unfortunately not an option for those of us who despise TouchWiz.
I'd mainly like something with HDR capabilities and exposure compensation. Taking the photos with a hardware button is also a huge plus.

Try angel camera

I hate aosp cameras they take the fun stuff out of the camera

Currently I'm on aosp and love everything. Except the camera is bad enough for me to switch back to touchwiz ROM. No wide screen? Come on Google.

Both the stock camera and Vignette on the market

try camera fv-5 it costs $5 on the android market but it allows you to save the picture as a png format so it shows the true power of the 8 mp snapper. if you know picture formats you will realize that the android camera saves as a jpg which compresses the photo and basically your 8mp snapper becomes like a 1mp snapper but this app saves as a png which is the raw picture format so it shows the true power of this camera.

I agree, fv-5 is awesome. I have used that app for a long time.

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505
Hi Guys,
I have compiled the latest LGCamera App and its supporting depedancy libraries to make it work on Android 4.3 General ALL and i9500/i9505. This is a tested package and All the features are working as expected. Device to Device features might work or might not work.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_CWM" to be Flashed from CWM recovery.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_MANUAL" to be extracted to '/system' and manually set permissions to '0.0' (root:root) and '644' (rw-r-r). You might want to use "Root Explorer" to achieve this or your prefered explorer which has root capability.
NOTE: Before doing any modification to your device, please Remember to take Backup for your Device through CWM. Although i have tested this package thoroughly and found no issues BUT I am not responsible for any issues which might arise.

Great, thanks for this. It works great without any FC's and pics seems very clear than ones shot with TW camera.
Found two problems.
1. Even thou i chose 10M, 16:9 it always takes pictures in 4:3
2. no possibility to chose external SD card and it places pics always on internal SD.
Thanks.

For second one,
Since this has been taken from LG G2 & G2 doesn't support External SD, Camera app doesn't have save to External SD option.

Google Play Edition requires a seperate modified LG Camera App since it's completely AOSP based or Pure Android.

Shutter sound bug is default problem part of Samsung firmware. Not camera app problem i think.

What is the best camera app?

Which is the best camera app?

For me? Camera 360, free and best the camera stock

I like perfectly clear the best, it has the best focus and exposure features of all the apps I've used, though it is a little slow to load at first.

Camera ZOOM fx, in play store.

i love the Camera 360

Line Camera would be great

Stock camera app is the best camera app for our smartphone

I actually really like the stock Samsung camera app shame it can't be used on CyanogenMod.
The stock camera has an awful menu system.

+2 . Also stock application of galaxy s4 is also good.

There is a thread dedicated to discussing the merits of different apps. Feel free to repost this in the App discussion thread.
Thanks!

camera settings question

really quick, where is the image stabilization feature, ISO, and the white balance options? I can't find these 3 for the life of me!:silly:

LG opted to have less bloat so that's why. I think the camera is fine how it is, although options are always good.

Try a third party camera app with those settings, it's possible they're there just the stock app doesn't have control of them

Sorry no, as long as it goes click when it's supposed to that's a good enough camera for me lol
But I've seen them, there are more advanced camera apps in the play store, perhaps Google it?

Try this ... A Better Camera

I also recommend A Better Camera. It's what I use and I can confirm that even the free version allows you to control the ISO and White Balance settings (along with lots of other things too). I haven't seen anything about the stabilization settings, so I think you are out of luck there.
PS - you can change the stock action of holding down the volume down key when the screen is off and it can start A Better Camera instead of the stock camera if you want. That's what I do. I think I'm doing this with the G3 TweaksBox xposed module.

Image stabilization.... it's hardware, you can never turn it off

Try the stock Google Camera. I did several shots using it and the stock and favored the Google shots over the stock in 2 of the 4 comparisons. It doesn't have a lot of settings but ISO is one of them.
