Anyone else try taking panoramic pictures yet? Im using the integrated panoramic function, but when it renders the different shots into one, they come out noticeably staggered. I haven't really taken a lot of panoramic photos on my other devices and they would usually require a separate app anyway, so I'm not sure if this is a common issue all across the board or just with the pixel. Can anyone else confirm if they are experiencing the same thing?
I think it is working for me. Trying panning a different direction and try different ways of maintaining the angle as you sweep

Yeah I havent used it a lot on this phone yet. But I did try to recreate the same pic several times and it was choppy every time. Although, it may have been in a less than perfect lighting situation
I've taken about 6 panoramic photos. 2 were ok the other 4 were terrible - really obvious joins.

I am coming from a Vibrant and although by the time I bought this phone the Vibrant was laggy, GPS was hit and miss, and allot of apps would force close, it still had a very good camera. I don't understand why this camera at 5mp takes such poor pics. I have a very good camera but sometimes I do forget it, it's too heavy, or I don't charge it so having a nice camera on the phone would be beneficial. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

You really think the camera is bad? Seems better than the hd2 I had. Have you blown them up on a computer and looked at them or are you just going off the phone? Maybe im just easy to please its really fast and works pretty well

No I haven't blown them up I just zoom in from the phone itself. I take the same pic with my husbands iPhone4 zoom in and it is still crisp and clear, with my phone it is very pixelated.

I saw another post around here discussing this, and in it someone said to change... from widescreen to 4:3? I believe..? I don't have the phone yet so can't look in the phone for ya. It's here in the forum tho.
I think the pictures are pretty good. Here are a few I took a couple of days ago:
Speaking of "pop"... Those reds look really nice and deep. Nice choice of images.

Strange. I started the other thread because mine were NOT so good. There are limited settings in the default camera, and I have set mine to the highest resolution and do not see any other adjustments in the setting menu.
At the wide mode, my files were only .6 - 1.2 mb (compressed I am sure). Yours are 3 mb - and much better quality - are you using the OEM camera?
I get MUCH better shots using the 360 Camera app - but not when using the stock camera app. If you are using the stock camera app - is there a setting I have missed?
I vaguely remember a post that said the camera is not set to 5MP by default. You have to set it to 5MP within the settings.

I set it to 5MP first thing - so-so pictures followed.
I use Camera 360. The uncompressed images look far better than when using the stock camera app.
It's unfortunate that the stock camera app doesn't allow manual compression settings. But that's why we have developers.
stock camera compresses the s out of the shots.
Go vigenette or camera 360 (all these were taken using either of the 2)

heh, I could have been in any of those pics. I was at Don's Bogam BBQ the other day (down the st from pic #3), playing with my new MT4G at dinner.
The camera on the stock ROM seemed fine. Now, I'm running CM7 and while it seemed fine before, now I'm seeing dark images.
I took pictures indoor at a Christmas party without flash and noticed there seemed to be a "trip point". Camera images were fine, but when the light level dropped just a very small tiny bit, the camera image instead dramatically dropped from from well-lit to completely dark!
There seems to be a light level where below that, just a very small drop in light level, dropped the light level of the camera image a very large amount.
I was using the CM7 camera and LG Camera and they both behaved the same way.
Anyone has a solution for this? Is the camera different for different kernels like CM7, Trinity, or Faux? Or is dependent upon the version of Android loaded (CM7, Weapon, etc)?
Its same, you need to setup exposure.

No, re-read what I wrote. Exposure does not drop that dramatically.
It's probably the automatic ISO setting in the ROM.
Edit: I just looked at the EXIF of the photos I took. The photos that came out fine were at ISO 500. But the underexposed photos with slightly less ambient light had the ISO jump to high-speed ISO of 1250.
What handles the ISO - the ROM, camera app, or OS?

The camera app, there are ISO settings in the picture settings. In CM7 it is set to Auto by default.

You seem to contradict yourself. Is the ISO managed by the Camera app, or the ROM? How do you know?

CM7, at least the one I am on, has no ISO adjustment... the stock froyo cam did.

The camera app is part of CM7.
Inside of it, there is a settings button at the bottom right. Scroll down the list. You should find the ISO settings there.

You are still not making any sense. Or maybe you are someone else that just makes **** up?
Look, from any camera app, there is an adjustment to SELECT the ISO settings. Big duh.
My question is, is the actual management of the ISO, such as the behavior of automatic ISO, it is MANAGED by the camera app, or Android, or the kernel?
You do not seem to understand the question, do you????
(BTW, I am on CM7 and all my camera apps have an ISO adjustment)

No, a camera app is INCLUDED with CM7.
Well the camera I'm using that is on MIUI was from cm7, and it has no ISO setting... I thought no cm7 camera had it. But since you are a know it all and a prick, have fun figuring it out without someone's help.

I just got help. The camera drivers are in the kernel.
You seem o be using a ****ty camera app if it has no ISO setting. Or maybe it has an ISO setting and you are incapable of finding it. Try any of the many free camera apps like Camera 360 or LG Camera.
You think I'm a prick because I won't believe your bull****? Maybe you are a "forum thanks" whore. You are now on my "full of ****" forum list.

You can add me to that list, too.
Hello my friends,
I just wanted to ask if there is an cam app which supports bracketing or something similar. I already used HDR Cam+ etc. but the quality of the "inhouse" merging of the images is painfully bad. Also, HDR Cam+ now only seems to use one lighting so there is no difference between pictures.
On my Nokia N95 I used a python script which did 3 to 5 pictures with different lighting. Can someone please help me out?
Thx in Advance!
Use Pro HDR Camera. It takes 3 images with different exposures and then merges them automatically.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Hmm, not that I know of in the Market. But Pro HDR does a better job merging brackets together in my opinion, even if it takes the pictures slower.
It also saves the brackets too if you want to do your own editing instead of letting the app merge for you.

Thank you for your quick answers! Will give it a try
I guess I should've just originally posted this question here. How come when I take a pic with the front facing camera kn any aosp rom, the image it captures is reversed from the one I see on the screen while I'm about to take the pic. The picture it ends up taking seems unnatural and disproportional because everything is flipped. Anyone know a fix or a way around this? I haven't tried on sense ROMs but I'm willing to bet its the same, realllly annoying!

No idea, but I'm running ViperXL w/ the cam fix. Mines just fine.
Hi. I think it's no secret that the Find x2 pro front camera is just bad. It struggles to focus in most light conditions, rarely takes decent photos. Tried gcam, still not satisfied.
If anyone is using any fix for selfies like a 3rd party app aur Gcam config, kindly share it. Thanks.
Order a new camera and put it in it

Seriously, who cares about the front camera? That's why they are at the back of any list, ?
