Hello,
I'm wonder if is possible to introduce in the cam app, the real autofocus and movement autofocus.
What I am talking about is: If we see the cam app of Galaxy S5, the focus is always running without requiring a click.
If I move the camera, the focus run automatically, without interference from the user as well.
It really is a feature that is missing in the application. Sure would be useful for users, because it would be possible to take pictures much faster.
1.2Q: Anyone know how to or can suggest this feature to the Cyanogen for a future update?

Does anybody have problems with camera during small distance operations like bar code or qr code reading. It is almost impossible to read those codes with my device. I have 9020 model
Tried to change focus to "macro" in camera settings?
Helps a bit.
So basicly the way that camera works is a feature ?
Well, if your barcode reader app can't read the barcode I'd blame the app.
If you meant that you can't read the barcode details (numbers) on a picture you have taken then this _might_ be because of the focus setting (macro vs .automatic). Also remember to set to 5mp, not below. In the end NxS' camera isn't the best in the smartphone market, but one of the better. It's still no match to today's pure camera shots.
I read somewhere (not sure where) that third party camera apps can not use the full potential of the dual-camera. Only the stock app can do that - not quite sure but I rememeber something that it can't access the 20MP black&white sensor or something.
Is this correct?
I would say that most third-party software was coded with one sensor in mind. I don't own a Mate 9, but I do know a bit about combining two images in one (binning) and photography. They are highly specialized actions, that require specially made software.
Dual lens appears to be the trend. Might go to the play store, send an email to the camera FV-5 folks. They've always been fast to respond
to my questions. I'm not really "interested" in dual lens cameras on phones. I use it for quick snapshots of things I work on (electronics).
for everything else, I defer to my dSLR.
I use the app "Automate" to do various chores on my phone, such as turning off my bluetooth radio when I leave home. I highly recommend it to anyone who has interest. Having bought the PH-1, I decided to play with some time-lapse videography. This is fairly easy to do in Automate, as it has the functionality to take pictures (and wait between) built-in. I can use either the primary camera or the selfie camera, and then stitch the pictures together in post to make the video.
My problem is the 360 camera. I so want to experiment with the 360 camera, but I am having some issues.
1) First, the camera seems to turn off when the Essential Camera App is not active. Does anyone know how to override this?
2) When I am configuring Automate. It does not sense the 360 camera. I am not sure how the app detects cameras, or if it does at all. After all, when was the last time you had a phone with something other than two cameras? It may be easiest as a programmer to just assume, and ignore the corner cases. But I am going to operate on the assumption it is possible to get this to work. In the app, if you set the "Camera" variable to 1, you get the primary camera, and if you set it to 2, you get the selfie. The obvious thing is to try 3 for the 360 camera, but this does not work. Neither does trying 0. Is there anyone who is both an owner of a PH-1 and a competent user of Automate that might have any ideas? Personally, I suspect if I can achieve step one above, this problem will come into greater focus. It will either be detected, or I will have enough information to go to the Automate community with requests. Right now though I suspect it is easier to find someone here with Automate experience than going there looking for someone with the PH-1.
Thanks for helping out!

I've never used automate, but I assume the "take picture" function you are using is independent.
Try setting automate to open up the essential cam, and then "take picture". The camera app has to be coded to read the external usb camera.
Hi all. Hope you can help. I am a blind person and am looking for a application or even if the stock camera of the Samsung S8 that I use can connect to a usb external camera. The applications that is available allow for picture taking and video recording, but what the problem is when I need to open for instance Be My Eyes it automatically start using my phone camera and not the usb camera. Why I need is to mount a camera on my glasses and then be able to use OCR applications that use the camera to read text or make a video call in whatsapp to a friend or family member or the Be My Eyes application that I can be assisted with the sighted person to see what is on the live stream of the camera and navigate me or tell me what products I am looking at. Application like cameraFi do not get picked up by android to make default camera application in default app managers and the phone auto go to rear camera of phone. I hope someone can point me in the correct direction or that there is a camera app out there that someone know about that can do this. For in the apk development on camera's it is available but I can not write my own program as yet to do this. Thank you and I hope I am posting in the correct area. Appoligies if not.
Hi, everyone.
I don't know if it is possible to tweak them but for the past few years I am too worried about the setting available in budget android devices.
I am still a student and can't afford expensive smartphones. I love everything in Samsung's devices but their limited setting in pro mode bother me.
My question is that is it anyhow possible to change setting to allow the shutter speed to go up till 10 seconds or 30 seconds?
Budget phones from Samsung only allow limited number of camera setting like ISO, white balance and exposure in pro mode, but I want to change the shutter speed and manually change the focus.
My phones are Samsung Galaxy J6(J600G) and Galaxy A5 Duos (A500G).
Is there any way possible so that I can take a long exposure picture of 10 seconds or so?
I have tried many applications from Camera FV-5, manual camera and OpenCamera etc.
Camera FV-5 allow long exposure up to 60s but does not work and there is no difference in stock camera picture and camera Fv-5 picture.
Manual Camera and OpenCamera allow shutter of up to only 1/8 s. It doesn't work even after enabling camera 2 API in OpenCamera setting.
Any help will be appreciated.
I would also like to know the reason for it if it is not possible to do so. Does hardware limit some settings or camera module or anything like that.
HELP PLEASE

IDK about your device, but on my S10, the stock Samsung camera app allows to set manual focus and shutter time up to 30 second in Pro mode - see my screenshot.
AFAIK those settings are not limited by hardware, but more limited by the software/what features the manufacturer (Samsung) exposes to be used by the user or other camera apps.

Have a habit of reading the query thoroughly. Anyway, congratulations because S10 is a budget smartphone for you.

Thanks for your advice. I just wanted to give additional context information for my screenshots. Nothing more.
And I posted only because (after more than a month and about 74 views) no one else replied to your "query". Sometimes it helps to "push" a thread to be seen and replied by other users (with the "right" device and/or solution).
