When I open the camera program, the number in the upper right corner says that I only have 28 shots left. However, I still have 3 gigs of free space on my 8gb sandisk sdhc. Obviously, 28 pictures at 3 megapixels quality is not going to take up 3 gigs. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks
Is the camera set to use the storage card? When you hit the arrow in the bottom middle and the 6 icons pop up in the bottom half of the screen. The one on the lower left says storage. Hitting it toggles between the phone and storage card. Try that. Or alternatively you can hit the bottom right button that pops up the "Capture Settings" menu and 5th option down is the Storage option. You can switch it from there.
Plus, does anyone know of a permanent fix to making the main camera having less lag? the video-call camera is perfect but the main camera does have some lag issues. I don't want to have to cover up the lens, turn the screen off, wait 8 seconds, then turn the screen back on every time I want a better shot.
Nope, there's no other way right now. It's a known issue with low frame rate in low light conditions that you circumvent with that hack you just mentioned.
Okay, not to worry.
Hi,
I recently took my Nexus on a trip and used it to take some 300 pictures. It's amazing the quality of the photos it takes, but one thing that really bothered me at times was the fact that the camera would always focus at the centre of the picture, while the important part might be at one of the sides.
Would it be possible to add a "touch to focus" feature in the stock camera app? What do you guys think?
Hold down on the "shutter" button to adjust your focus. Once you get a green box around your screen, that focal length will be retained until you let go of the button and a picture is taken.
If you slide your finger off the button (as in, without lifting), you can release the focus without taking a picture.
Not sure if that's the same thing you're looking for, but it's a hidden feature in the stock camera app.

Dude! Why wasn't I informed of this before!
Thanks a lot for the tip, I will make good use of it!
Not allowed to post in the developer section yet or I would've requested it to be added to the CameraMOD 3D posted by ErosizeD.
My biggest problem with the O3D is that the screen constantly switches off, your in the middle of doing something, or even just answer a call and instead of the in-call screen it will just swich off disabling the capacitive buttons. The only way to get it to come back on is to fiddle around trying to find the lock/on/off key....
I've requested this in the LG forum but doubt they listen to their customers. Hence, it would be great if one of the developers on xda could do a mod for the 3D button, making it smarter by incorporating the following functionality:
1. With the screen off, a single press of the button switches the screen on.
2. With the screen locked and on or off, keeping the button depressed for 3 to 4 seconds unlocks the screen and also switches it on if it was already off.
3. With the screen on and unlocked, it functions as it does now, as in launching the ‘3D Space’ app and if pressed whilst viewing 3D pictures, it switches between 2D and 3D view.
4. If the button is pressed whilst watching a video it works the same way as the Samsung i8910 whereby keeping the video playing with the screen ON but disabling the capacitive icons and the touch screen sensors/input (very useful for children). Holding the button down again would re-enable the touch screen.
5. If the button is pressed whilst the camera is on, it acts as the capture button to take pictures or start/stop video recording.
It does not need it to lock and switch off the screen as the current on/off button is fine for that purpose. It would also be very useful if pressing either of the volume buttons when the screen is OFF, simply switches the screen on!
Hope this is possible and thanks for reading this request.
If anyone else would like to have similar functionality added to the 3D button please feel free to add any suggestions/changes.
Thanks.

Just wanted to say...
I only agree about #5 on your list. The 3D key is indeed in the perfect position for taking pictures.
However, I don't agree with the other 4 points on your list.
#1, pressing the 3D button to unlock the phone is actually a much worse idea than the lock/unlock button. I don't know how you hold your phone, but I've just tried it out. With the way you normally hold your phone, the lock/unlock button is in a very nice place to lock the phone. A better place would be the volume up button. The 3D button... well unless you use phone on left hand a lot and press with pinky or you press with your palm on right hand, its a very bad place to put an unlock button.
#2 I have no idea what you are talking about. What do you mean holding it for 3 or 4 seconds and then it'll unlock screen and turn it on? If you unlock the screen the phone is already on. If your phone is off, then the screen can't unlock.
#3 I don't have anything to say about this becuase this is exactly how the 3D button works right now.
#4 I believe this is a useless attempt to stuff too much into one button. Just know that to make this feature work, you dont' make any changes to the button rather you got to make changes to the video player. And it'll only work for that video player. For example, we mod the stock Video Player, it works perfectly.. the way you suggested. Then you download a flv video and it won't play. You download MoboPlayer and it plays perfectly. You hold down the 3D button and it launches 3D space. Personally, I would suggest just downloading MoboPlayer because if you're watching something, you can press Settings button to disable all inputs.
5. Like I said, I would appreciate if the 3D button became a Camera button during camera apps. But this would only be for the stock camera app, which would mean modding the camera app to make this work. Personally, I would prefer pressing anywhere on the screen to take a picture as opposed to using the 3D button as a shutter button, but then...that's just my preference.
I don't know, but I want to wake up my screen with any of buttons like MENU/HOME/BACK/SEARCH
i would LOVE the 3d button to also be the shutter button.
the fact that it's not by default is pretty idiotic if you ask me.
so there is a way to make photo with the 3d button on Optimus 3d?!?!?
Plssss is so important for me....

if those mod can be applied (pls for someone here to make it real...), just gonna make this HH way much better....
I could think of creating something that does those features. But like other ppl said, everyone doesn't want all of those features, that's why we'll need an app that could let ppl choose the exact actions they want for the 3D button because seriously, how unimportant isn't the button really? A button that says "3D" is completely wasted and that's why something should be done, letting ppl choose the actions for their buttons, lol.
I'm new to LG Development but it's definitely not impossible by just an app, would required root though. I'll look further in too it when I got some spare time.

I for one would definitely love such an app! But the one function I really care about, that's switching the screen on with another button, different from the power key. I would even go for switching the screen on with the volume rocker if that idea isn't too bad! Hope you can really do something about it
1&2 - I don't really see the point in 3d camera screen on. Its not as if the power button is hard to press (Compared to other smart phones at least)
3 - I would prefer if the 3d button launched the Camera. There's pretty much no point in opening 3d space, besides showing off. Editing the \system\usr\keylayout\omap-keypad.kl from
Code:
key 249 3D_MODE
to
Code:
key 249 CAMERA
disables all other functions of the button, such as taking photos, 3d switching etc.
4 - This would be somewhat useful, but probably difficult as it would have to be coded into the stock video player, which i don't use since it seems to lag while playing some video formats.
5.The 3d button already takes photos with Stock GB ROMs.
what do u want this one button to do everything... Get over it long press = 3d menu and in camera mode on 2.3.3 it takes pics i say that is more then enough... I don't want it to turn my screen on etc.. I have other perfectly working buttons to do that...
I'm using ThiaZO3D on my LG Thrill with v18a baseband and the 3D button is great! pressing it now won't immediately launch the 3D launcher, you must hold it down. While in the camera app, you can press the 3D button to take a picture or start recording a video. You may even press and hold to keep the focus, then let go to take the picture. I've found that if you're in the middle of focusing it and you don't want to take a picture you can tap the screen twice or just hit the back button.
With this rom, it's perfect, no need for it to be anything else. Haven't tested with binding the 3D button as a key in N64oid or any other emulator yet, I assume it works fine as long as you don't hold the button too long.
have you try "No Lock " App? it 's work great if you dont' want the power button to be press while the screen off.
I found this feature by accident, and never read about it anywhere,
But if you hold your finger pressing the screen on camera app it starts to take many pictures in a row (you can see the pictures counter on the screen).
Really nice feature and i hope I'm not stating the obvious here...
I've also found that by accident!

If you press and keep pressing the volume button it will do the same.
The app walkthrough the first time you open the camera explains this feature. To get the walkthrough after the first time, in the camera slide out the menu and press the ? In the top right

I discovered this by accident the other day as well! Was actually annoyed as I was just trying to take one focused photo so had to delete like 10. Still, nice feature to have!
was on a kids ride at SeaWorld and after taking a picture of my kids I put the phone in my jeans pocket. It ends up taking 200+ pictures (showing part of my jeans pocket + sky) in the short 1 min ride... Google Photos is nice enough to make a couple animations from it...
What just happened? Well it seems Sony (or Google) have managed to make taking a screenshot a lottery when pressing and holding the power button.
Before you would get a nice little screenshot button beside the power button while still being able to view what's on the screen.
Now screen goes black (seriously?) and a screenshot button appears at the top of the phone. Good luck taking a screenshot of a video or something similar, it's pure lottery.
Also before you got a sub menu after the screenshot was taken for a quick delete, edit etc and now Sony have managed to cover up the delete option with a mini picture of what's just been screenshot.
Pretty poor Sony, massive stuff up!
Or is it just me?
Well that's 2 posts I've seen to put me off 11 already . This does sound pretty poor. I use the power button screenshot feature a lot.
Does the Google assistant screenshot option work any better? Have to hold the home soft button and choose Share Screenshot for that one. For some reason pressing the dedicated assistant button doesn't show it!
You have option to go to All Apps View(Running apps pressing square from 3 button navigation) and from there you can take screenshot of that particular app.
It seems it's more and Android 11 issue (they call it a feature) which, for me, is worse than 10.
Yes you can now take a screenshot using the square apps button but that also freezes the screen as soon as you press it making video screenshots hopeless still.
I now have to use AZ screen recorder.
God I hate it when a company "improves" a feature like this.
Good to know about the new screenshot feature using the running apps menu. I guess for taking screenshots of videos then the 3rd party app option is going to be the only choice. Unless they fix the screenshot issue in a future update .
So I got the Android 11 update today and decided to check out the screenshot problem. I now see what happens with the black screen when playing video.
That said, the screenshot does actually still capture the video, as you can see from the photo I uploaded.
I guess it would be nice if the video didn't disappear when doing this but the functionality of taking a shot from the video is there. Not sure if that helps anything?
The little pic does seem to be hiding the old delete option you are right. Unless the delete option has just been removed entirely?
