I found in few threads people talking about adjusting the exposure etc. I searched found an article http://www.whatmobile.net/2011/03/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review-part-1/
They says in our camera we have
The still image controls are:
Capturing Mode (Normal, Scene Recognition and Smile Detection)
Resolution (8MP for 4:3 and 6MP for 16:9, plus 2MP for 4:3 or 16:9)
Touch Capture (On/Off) for pressing on the screen to take a photo
Scenes (Off, Landscape, Night Portrait, Sports, Document, Portrait, Night Scene, Beach & Snow, Party)
Flash (Auto, Off, Fill Flash, Red-eye Reduction) – no more advanced menu to turn the light on or off!
Self-timer (10 Seconds, 2 Seconds)
Focus Mode (Single autofocus, Macro, Infinity, Multi autofocus, Face Detection, Touch Focus)
Exposure Value (+/- 2)
White Balance (Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy)
Metering (Centre, Spot, Average)
Image Stabiliser (On/Off)
Geotagging (On/Off)
Shutter Sound (1, 2, 3, Off)
But I only have Capturing mode, resolution, touch capture, self timer, flash, geotagging and shutter sound. How to get the rest of the options??
Thanks in advance
By pressing the menu button, or dragging the on screen controls to expand to the full set. Once you have all on screen, you can drag them around so that the 5 most useful to you remain once the controls are minimized.

tried that but didn't work
There is no Exposure Value, Metering, Image Stabilise or Scenes
Go to Capturing Mode and set it to "Norma" and NOT Smile detection or auto
And then u have all the settings..
Hope that works..
how about this? change to your Capturing mode to 'Normal' instead of 'Scene recognition'? the options u mentioned that u got seem to be Scene recognition one..

edit: repeated post, someone answered the question already..
Thanks Mate .. Now I can see it.
How about digital zoom? I can't seem to find it too..

On the latest 4.0.A.2.368 build from July (I think) it also zoom on the 6M and the 8M mode.
Yaeh 4.0.A.2.368 added support for zoom for all resolutions but only in Photo mode..
Not for video mode yet
Old Builds have Shutter Sounds Off?
on .368 it does not have that setting
the zoom is just digital zoom so better avoid using it.

Does on UK Generic.
From my phone to your eyes.
Some countries it is illegal to take photo without Shutter sound and that small orange flash.. Maybe SE localised firmware tries to keep in line with country rules and doesn't allow you to disable.. Just a guess..
Mine shutter sound is also off. I'm on .368 on Generic Global.

Looks promising, but unfortunately was not working well for me, on Google Edition ArHD 2.0.
Opens fine, but freezes randomly when a picture is taken. The viewfinder also just shows a black screen randomly upon startup as well.
Works on Sense, but with some issues... Not sure why, but after using Sphere, crashed...

Also experience this crash on the GE rom. Seems to take up a lot of battery as well. From the time launching app, to making a small sphere to test it, and it crashing, it went down 4%.
I don't rate this at all. The pictures aren't as good as the Stock camera and the options are a mess. Trying to navigate through lots of small icons that aren't even clear what they are with no labels to boot was enough to make me delete it after 5 minutes.

I'm in the same boat as you with this. Excellent idea from CM but a poor execution. The icons aren't even legible in most cases.. which one is Macro?? The review slide down doesn't work half the time either.. the best feature is metering mode.
Not what i expected, and I hope Team CM has better plans for the rest of Nemesis and the final versions of Focal.

Lol, funny you mention Macro because that's the one I looked for when I tested it but gave up after pressing a few icons. For me though it comes down to Sense, literally lol. No camera performs well on the One other than stock, the GE camera suffers the same fate ... HTC really know their stuff when it comes to camera software.
Which is the required android version?
macro
Where is the macro. Btw, my phone crash with effect mode, it's ace 3 4.2.2

Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.

Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.
The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.
I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.

Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.
Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.
What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.
That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.
I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.
It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.

I went back and tested my camera in more depth.
When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?
Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?
I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.
Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.
4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.
Sorry for posting it twice in wrong thread.
I've turned off video stabilization.
When I record a video from the photo mode (ultra wide) by long pressing the shutter button, it seems to record in a wider field of view with a resolution of 1920 x 1440.
When I head into video mode and try any resolution, it's not as wide.
Any reason behind this? Anyway that I can get this field of view by default in video instead of going through photo mode shortcut?
Thanks
Long pressing the shutter button triggers burst mode. It is not a video and does not record audio.

So it does. Samsung changed what the long press does.
At any rate, I was in Photo mode and chose the widest angle (0.5X), long pressed the shutter button and recorded video at the widest angle. It worked in all three zoom levels.

Hello
I got the Fold4 a few days ago and still figuring things out
I don't seem to understand how the stock camera app switches cameras
There are 3 'predefined' optical zoom options at the bottom:
1. .6x - Assuming this is the 10MP ultra-wide camera (top camera, furthest from the flash LED)
2. 1x - Assuming this is the main 50MP wide camera (middle camera)
3. 3x - Assuming this is the bottom 12MP 3x telephoto camera (bottom camera, closest to the flash LED)
The thing is - if I cover the bottom camera with my finger and toggle all the zoom options, none of them show a covered camera.
It seems my assumption is right about 1 and 2, but the 3x zoom option also uses the main 50MP middle camera, and it just crops the image
Only going digital zoom of 10x or above makes it switch to the bottom telephoto camera
If I switch the camera app to video then it's a different story, 1x uses the main 50MP camera and 3x uses the 12MP bottom camera
Anyone has this issue or any information on it?
Just checked mine and it switches between all three cameras
I also just checked mine and when the 3:4 mode is selected then it will move between the 3 cameras based on when I select the preset 0.6x, 1x and 3x zoom.
However what I don't understand is when I can select the 3:4 50MP camera then there are no other preset zooms to choose... What is the difference between this mode and the 3:4 mode - are they both 50MP??

I think the regular 3:4 mode is only 12MP (3000x4000 resolution), maybe to save memory or to do produce better pictures with some algorithm.
the 3:4 50MP takes advantage of the full capability of the sensor
This option exists in most of their modern phones
The zoom camera will automatically default back to the main camera if the ambient light level is too low. Because the zoom lens has a smaller aperture it performs worse in dark environments. It is likely being triggered by your finger covering the lens. This has been the case with all multi lens camera phones that Samsung makes.

Thank you, I did not know that
Confirmed it by switching to 3x when all cameras are covered and uncovering only the 2 top ones
It will auto switch to telephoto camera when it gets bright enough
ty this fixed my zoom problem for pictures. but when recording video it does not switch can some one direct me to an app or to a fix please
