is it already on 5.1.1?

Im using camera360 app, its focusing fast and have many effects

I am using "Open Camera" because I wanted something with a faster focus than stock and I feel like it does that for me. However, you have a lot of features built in, for example you can lock the focus so it won't change after you manually focused it. For taking pictures of moving children though, the exposure time might be relevant too, which depends on the brightness wherever you are taking the pictures (bright = low shutter time, dark = high shutter time).
Note that stock camera had a new update ?today? which is supposed to improve "capture and shot-to-shot speeds", might solve your problem.

Google camera update is real nice and fast.
good day.

Fuze Camera Problems

Hey guys, been looking around to see if this is a problem but havent found any threads so I think its just my ignorance. I dont know much about the light settings on cameras but i have been taking these pictures with auto. How come some pictures have a reddish tint to them and others come out fine? Ill post a few examples here. I was thinking it might be the way the sun was hitting the camera at different angles but I tried playing with the settings a little and not much has changed.

Camera Problems
What rom, radio are you using?

The auto white thing just sucks.. I use only the "bulb" for the indoor/night or the "sun" for daylight
What we have here is a PIPNIP.
(Problem in photographer, not in phone.)
What is missing from the two normal exposures? LOL!
Many of my pictures are of my fingers as well.

Wow really nice pics bro :d:d:d really shows vivid details guess im gonna be using my touch pro cam more
nice...
i'm hoping to get a Raphael soon, but have a few questions:
{question pertaining to taking photos in situations like yours, enough light}
how long does it take from activating the camera to live preview? (My current Samsung BJ II takes about 3-4s)
any shutter lag(time from pressing the camera action button to picture acquired)?
do you have to hold really still during the shutter lag?

Video Quality

Hi,
i would like to have more frames per secund for videos, or another options for better video quality. Bacause i would like to make screenshots from videos this the pc, but there are all bad
an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
you can change fps in registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Recparam\
in every folder there is value "FrameRate" default set to 15, try change it higher.
don't know if its actually changing something...tell if you see any difference.

You want a proper camera, not a phone! Seriously, though, the frame rate of the TD2 is not fixed at 15fps, it varies depending on the light level up to a maximum of about 18-19fps. I doubt you'll be able to make it go higher even by "hacking" the registry because of the limits of processing power available.
In any case, the blurring in the pictures is typical of stills of moving objects shot with the video mode of most pocket cameras, it's not the TD2 which is at fault. A lot will depend on the light level, movement will be "frozen" best in direct sunlight.
Sorry, posted twice because xda so slooowwww...
No seriously, you need to get a proper camera, smart phones by their nature are jack of all trades master of none

Nexus S Macro Focus Mode

I wanted to see if the NS Macro Focus Mode is worth something so i decided to Give it my best shot and took some photos in a good daylight conditions to Maximize the results.
To tell you the truth i didn't expect much. after all, this is a SmartPhone not a Camera we are testing here.
We can always compare: technologies, Hardware, Lenses, sensor, ext...
But i believe that what really matters is the final result: The Photo.
And that's where i think the NS camera wins.
Take a look for yourselves, and feel free to confirm/disagree:
Please keep in mind i resized the pictures (made them smaller: 854X480)
so you can view them properly at the post.
Yeah.... I took a few macro test shots myself and I was suprised on how good they look.
I too was impressed with it myself . I cant wait to take my first pictures in the outdoors When the weather isnt cold and its bright i'll go the beach or to a park but all we have in the uk lately is fog and crappy weather.
Wow those are some amazing shots man. I'm blown away.

Lens flare problem. Should I return my phone?

Hello! I have the S6 for a couple of months now and it has never disappointed me - until it's time to take a picture in natural sunlight.
Everytime I take a photo on a sunny day using Auto Mode, portions of it turn up overexposed and the colours seem washed out, making it hard to distinguish a detailed subject. Even the sunrays get blown out into big streaks of light. Decreasing the brightness seems to have no effect. Otherwise, the camera performs amazingly good under even lighting or artificial light, cloudy days and low light conditions.
I will attach a few photos to illustrate the issue. They were all taken in Auto Mode with HDR Auto. But even when I switch to Pro Mode and tweak the settings to take another photo in the same place and under the same lighting conditions, the halo effect still stretches over a big part of the picture.

Could anyone tell me if the problem is on my end and I'm incapable of taking a good photo and what can I do to fix it or should I just return the S6 and replace it with another one? Did anyone else experience this issue? Thank you!
Ask a photographer, but my vote is, not a phone problem. Take pix with the sun behind you, not in front of you.
