Hi guys, im new to sony xperia z1. Bought it recently. So far im loving it but one problem I have is the camera is tooo slow... friend's phone (iphone6) takes pictures really fast, the moment u press the button u take a picture, so u can press the button like 5 times in 2 seconds and take 5 pics.
With z1 however once I press it, it takes like 2 secs to autofocus before taking picture.. Is there an app to fix this?

This depends on the camera sensor in your phone, you cant make it work faster with an app.
Ofcourse you can speedup the camera opening progress but so far i know, not the speed of taking pictures.
U have try hold the camera button?
U can also use lower resolution
like 2 or 5
Try timeshift burst..

This is because in iphone, the camera is continuously auto focusing, and retaining that focus even after you have taken the pic, while on stock android camera, the camera resets the focus point to infinity after each pic.
If you are lucky, you may find a camera app on google play which may overcome this limitation.

thanks, sure I did that all the time.
I have a i9023 and the camera works perfect. Try to restore your camera settings.
Or maybe you have a broken camera!
I just got the G2X and the lag on the camera when taking a picture is HORRIBLE ! It takes 5 seconds or more to take the picture after i push the button. In that time my son has already zoomed through thte house lol . Is this normal for this p0hone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
The button is so freaking sensitive. Camera took 186 pictures of my ceiling last night while I was sleeping because the pillow on the seat barley touched it. Last night I put my feet on the table and from the vibrations the camera turned on and took pictures. One point it came on and I switched to video camera to see what it's doing, and with out pressing the button the video camera would start and stop recording. I got the phone yesterday :-( I put on the pattern lock to stop it somehow but the screen still turns on and I know from my G2 that it will kill the battery no matter what you do on Android. Any help?

oright cool, thanks guys. Thought it was the whole "phone built around the camera" concept that they thought it was a good idea to be able to take picture quickly. Thanks guys.
Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with your phone.
One of the MyTouch 4Gs issues is one of it's features..
you can activate the camera, even with the screen locked by holding down the shutter button. Sure it's good for those quick shots, but it's giving you an issue.
However to have a button that sensitive is not normal, please return it and get yourself one that works.
OP, just to be clear, which button are you referring to when you say, the camera button?Do you mean the silver one on the bottom right side of the phone?
Yeah I hardly touched it and it would start the camera. I'm back to using my G2 till T-Mo loyalty sends me another new one. Thanks for the help guys.
Hello friends, after lot of confusion I bought Sony Xperia U yesterday.
Phone is great. I am facing a problem with dedicated camera button. Phone is packed with nice camera, and On screen click works like a charm.
Just the dedicated camera button doesn't respond at all. Someone else is facing the same problem? or is it just me?
P.S When I checked for updates, my phone says all the firmware are up to date. So I guess it's not a software issue.
Please correct me if otherwise
Xperia U
I also have problems with camera button, and also the power button is a bit unstable.. But; i tried another x U in a shop yesterday and i think some covers are bad, cause that one worked the way its supposed to. (sorry for my english, i am scandinavian )
You mean it's not functioning ? you should've tested all the phone's function before you leave the store .. best solution is bring it back to the shop for repair or if they may allow replacement, then it will be better ..
my camera button was a bit stiff and unresponsive at first....but after a bit of usage it gets better..now it works fine...
I found that you have to press and hold the button for it to respond. Its because of the case design, if you remove the backing the button is very responsive.
Design flaw.... YES!
I have no idea why but I seem to have problems on my Z3 nobody else has, it's weird. But anyway. This happens everytime and it does happen whenever the front facing camera starts, regardless of the app including the stock camera app. Whenever I try to take pictures with the front-facing camera in bed (with my phone facing down) the screen shuts itself a few seconds after the camera starts.
My phone is totally stock, has Apex Launcher installed. I don't know if that'll help find out the issue. Thank you for helping this noob.

Hahaha I should! But it just leaves me wondering why it happens!
I just checked, mine does not do that....
I don't know why it's happening to you, I'm guessing Sony's "adult content filter" must be active.
Try clearing camera app cache or a restart.

Haha, I only did it once and I promise my face wasn't that inappropriate!
Anyway, I have yet another issue on this problem, and that it doesn't do that only when the front camera is on, I was laying in bed watching a video on Instagram and I put the Z3 closer to my ears to hear better, and yes the screen turned off again. I promise I didn't touch any button, it just did it on its own.
