Google Camera not zooming - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, since I updated to the latest Google Camera I'm unable to zoom in no hdr+ mode. If however I switch to hdr+ it zooms fine.
I'm running a rooted nexus 5 on kitkat 4.4.4 and stock ROM.
I've switched off and on again and still no luck.

It's pinch zoom and it's awful to be fair

Hi Ben thanks for your reply. I have been pinching to zoom. But after the recent update it no longer works except in hdr+ mode.

Very strange... you might have to try a factory reset?

Faced same problem.
Go to play store. Uninstall the camera app updates. Then re update the app. This solved the problem for me.

2.3.3 camera

Can anyone access the infinity and macro option in the camera app?

Yeah, I can select them just fine.
Yes, working fine here.
Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure what went wrong just now. I couldn't set the camera's flash and focus settings because those options were greyed out.
I've cleared the camera app data and now it works fine.

[Q] New Phone NO camera app, camera not working

Hello,
I just unboxed and connected my Nexus 5, i cant find the camera app anywhere in the phone and when I download a third party camera app it only lets me use the front camera, no option to change cameras. The front camera works fine. Any ideas?
Thanks
Try a factory reset. If that doesn't help then you need to do an RMA.

[Q] Stock camera not focusing in 4.4.4

recently I notice that my camera wouldn't focus and I think it started happening after the latest update.
everything was working great before and never had an issue. any ideas?
The latest camera update our android update? Try clearing data and cache for the camera app. If that doesn't work try another camera app.
Edit: Typo

I meant I am using all the latest software.... All updates were installed.
I tried clearing the cache... Downgrading the camera app, installed various camera apps and same result.
I also did a factory reset.

...and the glass covering the lens is not smudged?
Glass is clean, very clean actually, never used the device without a case and the glass usually wouldn't touched any surfaces directly.

You could try downgrading to another version of android by flashing the stock image. If that doesn't work I think there may be a hardware issue.

I tried going back to 4.4.2 when I know it worked but it didn't work with the downgrade.
I called Google and they will send another device... Factory refurbished... I'm skeptical about that thou, should I be?

Download another camera app and see if you have the same issue. If you don't, then it's just the software and not a problem with the camera itself.
Hel already mentioned that he tried many camera apps all with the same result.
@op No, I think the new device will be just fine. Don't worry about it.

What Camera App Do you use

I do not see this in the OPO thread so I thought I would ask as I am searching for a good camera app.
What do you use? And what made you choose that?
Stock Cm11s Camera. Seems to take great quality pictures and I love the over aggressive HDR

Every third party app i use for take picture, every time i take a photo with flash, the picture has a line in the middle. Like two different brightness.
In sad because Snap Camera takes awesome picture.

Same here, with Lenovo app.
With Snap Camera, I find it difficult to use HDR. They come out really crappy. How do you deal with it?

Dunno il its An hardware bug or a software problem. But all The apps i tried has this problem.
This problem+ not so Good photos+ yellow screen+touch issues let me regret a bit about this Phone.

It´s still working fine with 33R on your 1+1?
Camera Awesome
But something like Nokia Lumia Camera will be great
I use stock CM11S, very useful macro function and continous shooting.

[Q] Camera bug since Lollipop 5.1

Since I installed the 5.1 update on my Nexus 5 (no root) I've been having this bug on my camera app.
Every time I open the camera (whether it is the standard app, or for example inside the WhatsApp app) the brightness is just extremely low. The only way to fix this is taking a picture, close the app and open again. Brightness is back to normal and everything is fine.
A while later its just the same story all over again.
Any solutions or suggestions?
Am I the only one with this problem BTW?
How did you update to 5.1? Try to flash the factory images if you didn't do it before.
If it's a Google bug then it will might be fixed with 5.1.1 which is around the corner
Same issue for me on Nexus 4. Flashed factory images.
