This drives me crazy, I just can't find how to do it.
Thanks!
The top left most icon in your camera is for flash. Press that and you get options accordingly
Thanks for the quick reply.
It's the first thing I tried, but that does not work. It changes le label on right from off to HBR, but no visible flash.

You can't use HDR with the Flash. I think this is down to HDR being designed for white balance (ie making the sky blue rather than white while maintaining colour accuracy on the object you're taking a photo of).
Flash wise, you have:
Off - It's off
On - It will flash when the photo is taken
Auto - Will choose when to use flash
Fill Light - Turns the flash on while using the camera app
Thanks for the comprehensive info.

Is there? Since I don't use video calling can it be used to take pictures?
ok nevermind I found the option.
Bro, please share..........
when you go into the camera app tap the screen to show the options, tap the gear wheel in the bottom right corner and in the menu that pops up tap the icon in the bottom left
Why
Ok, maybe you do not have a mirror at you but... why to take a lo quality pictures?? You can use the rear cam to take 3.2 mp, not vga...
yea but since I don't use the camera for video calling I can at least use it to look at myself
no icon for me in bottom left
so weird but i dont have an icon in the botom left its blank lol, i wonder if its the elite rom im using or something else? anyone have an idea mabey?

I agree . I use it also for that purpose when there is no mirror near. Last time I used it to see the blood all over my face when I hit my head to a traffic signs edge due to a lack of visibility caused by a way too big hood

perhaps you have bigger issues to deal with than tweaking your PDA.
I've been a long time user of the android camera app, touchwiz camera was downright amazing.
I recently flashed a cm10 based ROM and have been playing around with the camera and have some questions.
1. Do you need to tap the screen to focus every time you want to take a picture? My past cameras had the constant block of auto focus so you could just wait for the green and snap. Or does the tap focus only pertain to the spot you want to focus on?
2. Is there a macro mode?..perhaps this is 'flower' mode?
Finally...anyway to turn off the shutter sound other than silent mode? This ones not anything major I just figured I would ask. Thanks guys!

No, you don't need to tap the screen to focus every time. If you move around to different points in camera mode you'll see the screen zooming in and out to focus on the point in the center of the screen. I think the tap is to focus on a point off the center of the screen (taking a photo of someone while their not centered in the screen)
There is a macro mode. When you open the camera there's a settings button right next to the negative zoom slider. After that there's a 3 button settings right where you just clicked, and in there you'll find macro/burst, and all the other extras.
I haven't seen a shutter sound off option yet.
Thanks! I am still unable to find macro..I did find the burst shot which ranges from 5-20 shots. However I don't see macro listed. Maybe I'm just missing it. If you are able could you upload a screenshot of it please? Thanks again!

You're welcome. I can't make a screenshot whenever I try it says that my storage is in use (assuming because camera is open) but if you go into the settings like I described before... the 4th one down gives you "focus mode" that's set to continuous.. click on that to the right and you'll find macro in there.

The AOSP camera is definitely lacking compared to the TW one.
That being said here is an ongoing project to add more features to the AOSP camera in order to make it closer to TW:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
I do miss the TW camera, but camera isn't a deal breaker for me to remain on TW... I see more benefits using aosp instead.
Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to bookmark it and check back periodically to see if there's improvements. I see in screenshots its able to store on extsdcard which is nice.
You can easily get rid of camera sounds renaming the sound files from CM -> media -> audio -> ui
just rename the camera files and video files with ending .bak and reboot your phone. After every update you have to do it again.
hello.
haven't been on this site for quite some time, but i am familiar with using custom roms.
i'm using an htc desire s with android 4.0.4, stock rom from htc site.
there are certain things i like about ICS, and other things that simply boggle me.
i've been considering using a custom rom again, but i was hoping someone could shed some light on specific features/functions.
in other words, i would be changing to a custom rom if one is available that has these features, otherwise i'll just leave it alone.
firstly: the camera.
when trying to take up-close photos (macro), the camera will attempt to focus, will succeed, then quickly snap back to being blurry. this happens less with "auto focus" turned off, but it's still frustrating (i can see the hardware moving the camera focus to where i want it, but i can't keep it there). turning on the Scene called "close up" will allow the hardware to stay in the focused range, where i want it, but it overrides the white balance, such that i can't adjust the white balance any more, and the colour is always -always- different from the colour settings in the "auto" Scene setting. very frustrating indeed.
that's problem one.
but the bigger problem (with the camera) is:
when taking a photo where a flash is required/desired (in low lighting), i have to take many -many- photos before i happen to roll the dice and get one in focus. basically, holding up the camera to the darkened scene, the screen is mostly dark. i can take a photo with the flash, but the camera uses the same moment of flash to implement the focus, which is essentially entirely useless. in other words: dark scene, dark screen, flash ready, click to take a photo, flashtrytofocustakepicture = blurry picture. the picture only turns out well if the focus happens to catch in just the right way at the right time.
in contrast, while the stock camera app behaves this way, when i use google goggles, the camera behaves differently. there is a simple button which turns the led light on and off BEFORE taking a picture, which means the focus can function normally on a fully lit scene and then a picture can be taken, in focus. funny thing about that: the photo result that shows as a preview (immediately after snapping a photo in google goggles) is the desired photo, however it is not the photo that the app recognises nor which is saved on the sd card. anyhow, that's a different issue.
the point is: it seems clear to me that the hardware is capable, and the software is capable, but they have not been married correctly in 4.0.4.
would anyone be able to confirm whether another rom or camera app has the macro and light-before-focus capabilities described above?
i have some other questions about the way text copy and paste is implimented, but i'll just stick with the camera question for now.
thanks in advance for any information.
Every time I click a picture with the flash on there's a weird post processing or the backlight bleeds, IDK what to call it. I've attached pictures. The issue is kind of resolved when I use the edit option in the default gallery app and choose auto colour. Should I get my device replaced?
I think its the same for all moto g's. No big deal if you can correct it in the editor.
P.S.: I have the same tint in my low light shots.
It"s a app from. Nextbit port by ninnix96..i found that it has manual camera mode.
Working:
In the Cross hair mode you can set your own focus point.
Other wise the Iso, Ev and White balance is working good.
Pinch to Zoom is working.
Bug: Manual Focus is no different then Auto mode.
the default resolution on back camera was set to 0 Mpixel. It was easy to just chose 13 Mpixel to get it right.
When restarting the app all settings is lost. No memmorh from last time used.
Thanks to xda member tissot for knowing us what is working and what is not.

One problem that where easy to fix was that the default resolution on back camera was set to 0 Mpixel. It was easy to just chose 13 Mpixel to get it right.
When restarting the app all settings is lost. No memmorh from ladt time used.
