if i am not mistaken... you can use mp3 media converter apk or myview player&server apk for convert any file to mpg4 format (are in the market)... but record a video directly to mpg4 u can´t....
and if i understanded that you said (You have given little information).. you want to click vol- for to do photos?mmm i thing that u can´t too
EDIT: why you not convert files into your PC?its It is more comfortable

if i convert it after that i've make it is too later because the quality off 3gp recording is less than mpg4...i've read that with cyanogen mod i can record in mp4 but this mod haven't sense features, and i don't want lost this sense features.
For the other question, yes i would like to do photo and video with vol- or vol+ i see this feature in some apps, but this apps is no really good for do photo/video or for example don't make photo at 8mpx

Yep I know exactly what you mean. On CM7 autofocus doesn't work for me at all when recording video and there is no tap to focus, the best feature on Sense camera app.
I've also tried many other camera apps and they all are missing this feature and lacking for the most part. Camera X or Camera Zoom FX has the ability to use volume buttons to take shots but both apps lacks anyway.
When you find something good let me know !!

Better Recoding Video Quality with XPERIA CAMERA

Hi brothers, now I wrtie to ask if somebody knows where is the register entry for the xperia camera, I think i found it but it won't show all the entries that the HTC cameras show. The HTC cameras registry entries has all detailed on different folders like JPEG settings, medium quality video, high qualitity video, and stuff like that.
Well, I think that I have the solution for the bad quality video of the xperia when you shake o move your phone, I think you know that I mean. You see always pixelation, and that have various reasons. One is that the video format is very bad quality for, it's only 3GP and we don't have a choice like other HTC Cameras when you have MP4, CIF and other formats. Other reason is the video's bitrate and THIS is our solution.
If we can turn up the bitrate of course we'll have better quality in the videos and we can see especialy an improment in scenarios like sports when we have to move the phone very much. Of course, that bitrate increment become the video more heavy but that's something we have to deal with because the quality worth it.
Other solution is find a way to change the video format to H264 or MP4 and combine the bitrate idea with this video format too.
I have been making some experiments but no luck yet. Any ideas?
Nobody?
I'm sure that somebody can post one good idea. Come on people, you guys make the best HTC's roms and more, I don't think you have no idea about solving this. Somebody?
I think its Sony+HTC problem, not something that belongs to here ...
just like u can't have smile shutter, same ways, u can't change recording format ... may be some time in future, Sony might add support for h264 recording in firmwares, just like they added auto flash and geotag in leaked R3AA/R4AA rom.
Thanks for the reply
Thnaks for the answer! You are totally right in every point BUT I think that waiting is not an option for me because I bought the Xperia almost replacing my HTC TyTN + Sony Camera. I like to record almost all the concerts I go and the Xperia is the right option if we can make some camera improvements. I think if someone give me the xperia camera source code I can do everything by myself, or at least that is that I have in mind
Even, I think we can make a few changes for the camera to allow to zoom when recording video (if somebody haven't done it yet..).
In other hand, where can I find the R4AA rom? I didn't know that was already out. Again, thanks for the reply!

there is no r4aa. he was refering to unknown sourced leaked camera app with geotagging and auto flash, which supposed to be present in r3aa, but never was actually.
zoom facility in the video recording of the xperia is a very welcome step...hope somebody smart enough in the xda forum look forward to it...
I think it could be done, because the camera app uses a system file to access the camera, then it uses a video or picture encoder to produce a picture or a video. If somebody change the encoder and set the new parameters or settings into the camera app i think that it will work.
Exactly
And I'm your men, I wanna do that, but I have to view the source code or something. Where can I find it? Anyone on this forum can give me a hand to start working? Thanks!
I think that the better way is create a new camera app and add lots of features and then sell the app to a company like spb.

Top right of the screen these should be a +/- button. Click that and a wheel will appear on the left hand side of the screen move it up and down to zoom in and out.
I think you wanted to know where the zoom function is whilst actually recording? The answer unfortunately is this is not possible
very few digital cameras include a zoom function while recording video

Yeah sorry. I thought he meant camera. Zoom on video is not possible. Probably because when you use digital zoom it decreases the resolution.
...
thanks for the replies
i wish you could zoom in and out when video recording like my older nokia phone (which is like 4 years old!!!)
i wonder why this was left out....either way, at least i know to stop "trying" to look for a zoom option whilst in the middle of video recording
You shouldn't use digital zoom, it just decreases the resolution instead of actually zooming in.

taking pictures with volume button?

hi i wanted to know if its possible to take pictures with volume button without using 3rd party apps. thanks
Custom ROMs. There's a camera mod that you can flash if you are unlocked with custom recovery that will let you do this, and greatly improve overall camera quality.

I tried the mod and it not only allows that but it also allows you to increase your image res. and your bitrate for video recording.
Only problem I've had with that MOD is that if you disable the burst limit (from 20 to unlimited) it'll crash around 30 pictures or so.

Camera Zoom Fx Taking Stills While Recording?

Hi All,
I have Camera Zoom FX on my HOX, but can't seem to find a way of taking pictures while recording HD video, like you can on the standard camera app.
Does anyone know of a way?
Cheers

Probably not possible, it would need to be built into the app to work
They probably wouldn't, as I assume it takes quite a bit of power to be recording video and still have spare resource to take a picture, I know hox does do this, but a lot of other phones simply couldn't, and it would make their app look bad if they put in a feature that didn't work on 90% of the phones out there

[Port] Sense 6 Camera

Im not one for fancy OP so lest cut to the chase. I have been working on this on and off for some time now and i am at a point i feel i can call it ALPHA. This should only be flashed on KK or L GPE or pure AOSP. CM will have to be done differently they did some strange things to HW keys that makes camera not work at all.
Screenshots available here:

What works?
Camera
Pan360
Split Capture
PhotoBooth
Selfie
Photo preview
HTC gallery
What needs some work?
Zoe camera wont open. ( if you choose Zoe options you will need to go to settings > apps > Camera and clear data to make it stop)
Camcorder (rotates the video when saving and cause the video to glitch)
Please have a valid Nandroid in case you want to go back. At a later date i can make an uninstall zip.
Special thanks to:
HTC
Google
Neo he pointed out that gallery was update to work without the security check.
Team Ecliptic for pushing me to get this working.

If you would like to use this work and continue on, be my guest. No need to ask for permissions. All i ask is that when you do use it, just give me a shout out.
@synisterwolf Do we need to install the gallery.apk also or is packaged up with the camera?

i cleaned up the zip and packaged gallery with the camera. it also comes with Zoe the social network. if people dont want it i can remove.
Looks like there will be a tiny issue with L vs KK. Im going to need to set up a zip for both until HTC updates Camera to API19
I havent found any bugs myself. Well one. Not able to open gallery from camera app

Thus should work. Open gallery first then use the camera to open gallery.

video still needs to be worked on. the camcorder saves the video all wrong and cause video tearing.

I tried this a few times but still wont open through camera. It starts to then just goes back to camera
@synisterwolf ... When recording video it only records in mms resolution from main camera. Not 1080p like it should.
When I had my HTC the only thing that kept me o 4.0 was the camera..this is a dream come true
Please if you canfind a way to make it work on cm12
Thank you very much man!! I'm on cm12 on HTC One S and it work! But I have only pan 360 , portrait and cam. Why?
Please don't tell me you'll drop this project :'(
