I was wondering how close you need to be to the subject to get a good quality 1080p video? Is the digital zoom any good I guess is what I am trying to find out.

No. Not at all. The picture gets horrible. But the pinch to zoom thing is still sweet, and I use it sometimes.
Light is the most important on any video the more light youhave the less the cam has to amp up iso and gain whitch makes it noisy .i dont think video has zoom or anti shake.
Edit only 1080 p has no zoom others have digital zoom not optical ,

Yes 1080 is not as good as I wad expecting. No zoom. I'd rather record in 720 so I can zoom. Still a really good camera/camcorder.

hello
Is there any way to improve the camera's zoom?
it can improve a rom?
photos are very nice but the zoom is not clear and very weak

Dont think there is a way to do that. If you want good zoom probaly better off with a actual camera

The short answer is no. Your phones camera, like most smartphone cameras only has digital zoom. This is essentially the same as cropping an image using photoshop or some other photo editing software.
If you want to be able to zoom and have crisp photos, the only option is to buy a camera with OPTICAL zoom.
As a rule I have found you are much better off ignoring zoom on your camera completely, and editing it later on, and if you do use the digital zoom feature, use as little magnification as possible.
Any software updates/changes could the algorithm slightly, and in my opinion, it rarely makes much difference, and being Sony has a digital camera/SLR arm (they also bought Minolta a while back), I would suspect they have tweaked for quality already.
I ask because I previously used the desire hd and there was a very good zoom

DHD camera is not as good as arc in the first place, and the zooming function make it worse..
I had a DHD with 2.3.4 rom and zoom was very good and clear
Take the photo and zoom afterwards with a pc or an app if zhe zoom of the cam isn't good enough for you.
Arc has the BEST camera on a mobile phone...

I agree that digital zoom is not as good as optical but it has its used on the Xperia ARC. You will actually get me details zooming in than taking a full size picture which you enlarge later on.
Try the following to test this, it will only work on motives close by. Place a book 1-2 meters away from you. Take a full size picture and then take a one where you zoom in on the book. You will actually be able to read the text on the book on the zoomed picture while the enlarged full size picture will show the book as pixelated and it is difficult to read the text.
There is no difference on motives far away between the zoomed picture and enlarged full picture.
I am not sure why the objects close by contain more details when zooming than enlarging a full picture. My best guess would be that SE has some logic buildin on the photo chip that on the zoomed picture correlate pixel readings on the sensor and not just cropping and enlarging the final picture.
Please let me know if you experience the same, I am very puzzled that the zoomed picture for objectives close to the camera contain more details than the full size picture.
Anyone have recommendations of third party camera apps for our phone? Running CM 10.1 and really dislike the quality of photos taken with the stock camera.
I have Camera Zoom FX and it is pretty good. Anyone have recommendations of a different third party app that works well? I am looking for the best quality picture with everything set to 'auto' as I am by no means a photographer. Thanks!

Try LgCamera: It was simple and very fast for me and sometimes people don't want 400 settings, filers, moes, etc.

Hello,
is there any way to lock the focus when recording a video with the stock camera app?
In my experience I get a lot of focus hunting while recording video and just makes it not usable, otherwise the quality and image stabilization is superb.
Any third party app that would use the same image stabilization and lock focus would also be ok, but I dont think there is such a thing...
Thank you.
did anyone notice that when using 3rd apps like whatsapp or Instagram the camera is a way zoomed in? Any way to fix this?
I read at some place that if you switch between the front and back camera the app will change between zoomed in and zoomed out camera setups, but this didn't work for me.
I'm using a s20 ultra us version

Probably the 3rd party apps are using a lower resolution
The problem is not the quality, but the zoom... Any way to fix this?
