Touch to set camera exposure? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

On my iPhone the default camera app uses the touch to focus feature to also set the exposure. It seems not to be the case on the Galaxy and the only way to change the exposure is to point the camera elsewhere (I tried the 3 different exposure settings also). Is there any kind of 'touch to set the exposure' feature in the default or a 3rd party app?

Yes perfect idea, have somebody solution for this?

Closest thing I've found is the new Camera360 update that lets me set the white fill

Thanks I will try it

Lag in the Xperia Camera while taking Pictures.

Hi,
I have used different roms, including the orignal one, i always face the problelm with the camera, when i press the camrea button to take the snap, it capture the photo after 2,3 seconds, and in that time, (pplz have moved, and its always blurr), how i can remove this Lag time for the camera, so it take the photo shot, as soon i press the camera button.
this is really irritating and annoying, Hope to get some true solution to it.
Regards
Jade
There is a quick fix to the lag. Go to focus options and choose the infinite one!
I tried via this way many time, but still facing lag problem while taking the pictures, the snap shot is taken after 1-2 seconds of pressing the camera key.
Is there any repair, or fix CAB for it , or some other solution.
Regards
Jade
General Tip
the easy way is to use sport mode (i made it the default scene mode). however you will always not like the color it get, but acceptable in bright light condition. Next, i set the focus to infinite, manual white balance. The rest will depend on your phone software/system configuration.
if you are willing/knowlege enough, i suggest to change the system cache (cache,repl,gdi,fat entry cache,block transfer) just big/small enough for your need. Too small = sluggish respond, too large = may unstable the phone, data lost/corrupt, random lockups.
Oh, do try the xperia x2 vga driver and sdcard tuneup if you haven't already.
Try HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam and set CapKeyDelayTime to 0.

That's the one! Or use Xperia Tweak, and look for shutter delay in the camera section, if you don't want to edit the registry directly yourself.
does anybody have this problems with x1 camera..... the result of the picture is darker when you transfer it to a pc or upload it.... its only show the true color on the xperia image preview, when actually its too dark... any one ???

I just didn't find such entry in the X1 registry. Should I add one or whatever wrong with my machine?

Hi Paul,
Xperia Tweak 2.0 doesn't have the said camera section. May be a new version available, where can I get it? Thanks in advance for your advice.
oops, sorry... the option is in Advanced Config (I confuse the two applications, Advanced Config is much more comprehensive)
htc camera
sorry mate. that parameter does not exist on stock rom. unless it's already cooked or you install it yourself. and it's for htc cam app(which i think the iso speed option did not work. like i want 400, it capture in 201), not experia default one.
to uhuy*
you got it all wrong. your handheld/camera/phone lcd display will never show the true color/contrast/etc output of the recorded image. they are very limited in everything and tend to trick your (inexperience) mind about how good/bad things are. think, winmo only output 65k(16bit) color. doesn't matter if your screen got 200 thousand+ or 16m color display screen. it's capped that way. what you're seeing have been through interpolation, resampling, device enhancement, bla..bla..bla. the real thing is on your desktop monitor(assuming it's decent and you didn't mess it up). gamma too low perhaps?

is your monitor calibrated?
Expert Opinion?
I'm facing the same problem with Xperia X1 camera lagging, and blurry...
I'm using the default Xperia cam software.
Any expert care to provide a comprehensive solution to this problem?
Only fix : Sports mode + Infinite focus.

[REQUEST] HDR photography

Is it possible to build HDR functionality into the camera settings of either sense or AOSP ROMS? I was thinking of something similar to or better than the iOS 4.1 update for the iphone 4.
HDR--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging[/URL]
HDR FTW
I would also be very interested in a possible solution to this request.
would also like this
Does anyone have any input on the possibility of something like this happening?

It's already happened. Camera 360 Pro in the market (by mAPPn, Inc.) has HDR functionality.
Is the iphone's hdr also a simulation or the real thing?

well, the iphones implementation of HDR is actually the real thing, the one I mentioned is a simulation. But it's a pretty decent simulation, and already available.

Rats. Came across a review on it a while ago that said it was supposed to be a pretty good simulation, but I haven't tried it myself. I just remembered the name of the app when I saw this thread, and thought it would be a workable solution. Oh well.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Thanks for the suggestion but I am looking for the real thing not simulated HDR. Actually I am just curious if its possible.
Best method is to get a stand or something to set your phone on. Turn exposure all the way down snap a shot to the middle snap a shot and all the way up. Then bring those images into photoshop or an hdr program and combine them. I think the IOS does this all automatically, but i suspect you would get a better hdr from doing it manually yourself.
I imagine someone could write something to automatically change exposures and snap another pic

[Q] Camera exposure settings

I have consistent problem with camera while taking shots during shows/concerts. Take a look at the pic, the normal looking one at the top is actually under exposed -2. The bottom is exposure 0. I have the same problem while taking videos. For some reason Samsung gets very sensitive while there is a big differential in the light settings. My friend's LG HD and all iPhones don't have this glare.
Is there a place I can edit and modify exposure settings? I'm on TW Jedi X12, but found all TW roms have that 'problem.'
C'mon, no one has the answer to this basic question/problem?

Hi. I don't know where to edit exposure but, have you tried Camera FV-5? It's a really neat app, and it does a real job. You can adjust the exposure, ISO, shutter controls, white balance, metering and it also display a live histogram while focusing. DSLR controls on your Note2.
Hope it helps!
Thanks for the tip. Great app indeed but no video option. Will be looking to find how to edit the camera app file and make exposure -2 to stick as default.

Do you have auto contrast on? Seems like that may be worth looking into

thx dwitherel, it worked perfectly.
Okay. what was the tip that worked perfectly? Wanna share or is it some "If I tell you, I'm gonna have to kill you" thing?

LOL - it was a smali edit that fixed it. I am away from my laptop so I can't tell you the specifics at the moment, but there is one particular smali file that sets the defaults for a number of things - including exposure value. There were a few places where the exposurevalue:I and camcorderexposurevalue:I were set to 0x0 (i.e. 0 on the exposure setting). Each integer seemed to be equivalent to a half step on that scale (so 0x1 would be an exposure of 0.5, etc.), so where those values were being set I changed them to -0x4 (or -2). If folks are interested I could post just the modified camera apk, and dkb218 if you want the super-specifics shoot me a PM and I'll go into some more detail once I have the files in front of me (this is all being said from memory, which in my case is rather fallible lol).
Post the modded camera.apk when possible and thank you
camera exposure settings
Is there a way to get the exposure value to go lower than -2? I'm trying to take pictures of powerpoint presentations. The Ipads in the audiences are having no problem with tapping on the screen, the camera focuses on the powerpoint slide and it is clearly visible. The Note 8 still whites it out. An exposure of -2 helps but not enough.

[Q] Where can I find the "warm vintage" photo effect?

Hi everyone!
As a Note II user, I really enjoy the "warm vintage" camera effect, and I shoot the 80% of the photos with this filter activated. After I tried many Apps, I'm stick with this stock effect because creates an excellent tone and colours, and does not look so vintage. But I will change my phone in a few months, and I can't find any App with something like that. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanks a lot!
Snapseed and even Line camera app have those and many other effects - but I like Snapseed's ability to adjust more.

Yes, you are right, I should have explained myself better. I meant I'm looking for the effect in real time, as is built in our Notes, so you can see it before you take the picture, not a filter you can apply later. And also I'd like the same white balance and colour saturation that "warm vintage" has, not an approximate solution. Thanks anyway for the response!:laugh::good:

It was only included in Note2, not in any model after that.
Hello, just switched from Galaxy S3 to Xperia Z3 and badly missing the warm vintage effect on my cammera, from same reasons as originator of this thread.
Can anyone advice which camera app is matching, if any?
Thank you very much
Try "Open Camera", it's free in the Playstore. It has quite same Warm Vintage effects in the stock camera app.

Thank you for the hint. Open Camera is nowhere near my expectation. Its true, that with white balance manually set to Daylight or Cloudy-daylight, the colours are much more alive, but not as much as I would imagine.
Any other idea? It really not possible to transfer the Samsung (S3) camera mode to other device?

Manual Exposure

So i recently updated my nexus 5 and in the stock camera settings i see an advanced with manual exposure inside. This is not an option in my nexus 5x camera app. Anybody know why? And are there any build.prop tweaks to add this setting?
Thanks

Not sure if you referring to exposure compensation or actual exposure time stock camera does not offer manual control hence no manaul exposures best to try 3rd party app

Not a 100% sure but for example I took a couple pitures of a window with sunlight coming thought it, with the setting at 0 all I could see was light coming throught the window (completly white) and when i lowered it down to -1 there was less light and i could see the fence behind the window. So my nexus 5 has this setting but the 5x doesnt.

then it exposure compensation ... https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/3txp0c/its_confirmed_nexus_5x_has_no_manual_exposure/
best would be 3rd party app then adjust shutter speed manually

Awesome, thanks for the info man! Yup I do know that there are 3rd party apps capable of doing this but I just find it quite weird that the nexus 5 stock camera app has this setting but the 5x's stock camera app doesnt, thats all.
Nexus 5x need a lg g4 camera porting!
Who can do it? :crying:
Has it been fixed? (yet?)
