Burst mode when subject is very close, how to disable - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever a subject comes really close (like a macroshot, say within 20-30cm) my S6 starts some sort of burst mode automatically, very annoying. How do I disable this?

Turning off autofocus

Anyone know of a tweak for this? On my sprint TP it is automatically turned off if I take picture while on a phone call, so there must be an option somewhere to turn it off for good.
i would really like to know this as well

Strange that it gets turned off during a phone call. Can anyone else confirm this?
yeah i tried it during a call and it does get turned off during a call.
i want to turn it off because the autofocus takes so long. especially when i need to snap those quick pictures...
Same here, no autofocus during a phone call... I'm using original ROM.
I'm very interested too in a solution for that strange behavior.
I would like to know how to turn it off as well because it takes too long to snap the shot! Would be great if there was an option to turn it on or off!
May no be EXACTLY what you're looking for, but go in to camera->settings->advanced and on page 3, there's a Shoot Option. Change this to Full Press, and no more AF.

I have it at Full Press, but that still is auto focus. As soon as you hit it, you will see the camera try to focus on what ever you're trying to shoot before it actually takes the photo.
I too am curious as to how to turn it off.
there's gotta be like a registry tweak????? someone? anyone? haha

Even i m in dire need of this tweak........sometimes its impossible to get a good snap, bcos of the delay caused by auto focus.......
i was using UIQ 3 phone earlier, where a half press would lock the focus and full press will immediately click snap without a delay.....
can someone make sum tweal on similar lines
please someone. haha
BUMP.......
Turning off Auto Focus
Anyone help !!!!!!!!!

This is very odd. I guess that even HTC knew that the camera program was either not optimized or demanded to much resource so they cut off the autofocus mid call.
From my own experience, its really hard trying to figure out the system calls coming form the dialer, i dont think this is going to be an easy fix.
Bump!

Bump!
it would be nice if someone could do this? i would donate happily )
also id really like a auto lfash - which i think is in development
but this is a good idea as i agree it takes so long to focus that you hardly ever get a good shot
I'm interested in this. Have missed many pics due to the focus being so slow!
why does nobody want to reply to thread with an answer? strange seeing as there is so much demand
I use AutoFocus and have no delay in taking a picture.
If you have a delay in taking a photo just change the settings using the Advanced Configuration Tool. Under the camera options, capture delay should be disabled, key delay disabled and capture key delay set to zero.
Also, try this:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/
and set
CaptureTimer = 0 (old=5000)
Two more things to do - go into the camera advanced settings (in the camera itself) and turn off the click sounds and set the review time to no limit. With those changes above I think I have a working camera here...
While we're at it, if your photos are yellow change the white balance settings: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=951

[Q] Camera question

Hey, how's it going everyone? I am new to these forums, and I have attempted to do some searching around, but I have yet to find a true answer to this problem. So, I love my Samsung Infuse. I just got it roughly a week ago, and I am basically switching from my iPhone 4. An issue that I am having is that I want to be able to take pictures in portrait mode and landscape mode, but the camera doesn't seem to be designed to take pictures in portrait mode, as every picture I take like that, the picture always comes out at some 90 degree angle. Is there any way to really fix this, so that I can take pictures in both modes? Maybe a handy application that I haven't seen in the market? I just want to be able to turn the phone one way and take a picture, which I don't understand why it isn't implemented in the first place. If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
I am not sure if this will help what you are trying to do or if you already tried it. There is a turnwheel kind of icon on 1 of the corners when the camera application is turned on.if you click that, there is a option for scene mode. if you click on that, you will get various options inside. 1 of them is portrait. hope this helps.
^ i dont think that is what the op means.
op you ar eright the previews dont detect the phones prientation, but they show correctly in the gallary so the phone is detecting the orientation. if they are 90deg off when pulled to the computer then it would seem there is a bug in the orientation, i havent tried copying to my computer, nor sure is there is an issue beyond the previews only displaying in landscape mode.

Manual camera toggles disappear after each shot

Bare with me. I'm falling asleep messing with the camera in low light....
I've searched here on my phone but I'm only showing 4 threads total in this section so it seems something is weird with that but ...
Anyway, after I take a shot in full manual, all the extra manual toggles disappear... ISO, Focus, shutter speed etc. If I flip the camera to the front and back again, they return. Not even closing the camera and reopening fixes it, only flipping the camera.
A reboot doesn't change this behavior. This is the first time I've really messed w manual mode so I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks.

Camera not working properly

I've looked into different forums and couldn't find anything related to my problem. If there is something I didn't see please tell me
I'm using the EU Galaxy S6 SM-G920F on rooted stock Rom 5.1.1 and the front camera is really bad.
I'm getting the worst results when the night mode kicks in. Everything is just blurry and not pleasant to look at. And when the lighting is good the images turn out very well but when "shaking" the phone its really chopped up like on bad webcams. BUT if I turn on things like the b/w filter (so that the beauty mode completely shuts off even though it's set to 0 already and things like the night mode are disabled) everything is smooth.
Is there a way I can create a filter/effect for the camera that looks like "no filter" but turns off the beauty mode or does anybody know how I can mod the camera to disable beauty mode completely?

Burst Mode?

Hello everyone,
Is burst mode available on the XZP? I cannot seem to find it, even though "Timeshift Burst", which I believe was Sony's burst mode in older devices, seems to be installed according to the Play Store.
it's been replaced by Predictive Capture which you can enable in camera settings and which will trigger automatically when the phone detects movement while you're focusing camera and preparing for taking a pic.

I noticed that feature kick in a couple times, however it is nowhere as convenient as a manually operated function in most scenarios. Is there any way I can manually take a burst of pictures or am I out of luck?
