Hi,
I can't find a way to focus at less than 40 cm from object.
It looks like the camera doesn't support the macro mode in CM7.
Any clue about this?
Thank you.
yes there is, I missed the setting....
It is the top most button on the screen. It actually looks like an egg timer button...

Is there a way to take screenshots with the optical trackpad/power button? I really don't like the shake ones that much because it often rotates my screen and is inconvenient. If there is, how would I set this up?

I'm stiill waiting to find out if the sense 3.0 roms have a built in screen capture, and what the button combination is...if anyone knows?
I just picked this phone up last night on my way home from work - I haven't even had time to test it since I had to spend my night testing software for a release this morning.
But anyway - the little I've played with it (let's be honest, I was up until 2am checking it out after I was done working), I'm really impressed.
My only disappointment (far outweighed by the camera quality and fact that this has a flash - unlike my last Android phone) is that there's no dedicated camera button.
But, I realize, my thumb is resting right on the volume down button as I hold my phone... and that's true for most Android phones really.
Is there a camera app out there that maps the volume down button (or better yet, allow you to map any button you want) to be a shutter button when the camera app is open?

I apologize - I meant to post this in the "General" forum not the "accessories" forum for the Epic Touch 4G.
Can a moderator move this thread? Sorry about that.
There is a paid app in the market called Vignette that allows you to use the volume up or down button for a camera button. It takes better pictures than the stock camera and has more effects before and after the pics are taken. There is also a demo version that you can try before you buy. It really is superb!
Camera Zoom FX, which I love, supports button mappings.
That brings up a good point...
...the stock camera has no zoom, I see.
Vignette and Camera Zoom FX both do, so that alone justifies the extra cost, a bit.
Camera Zoom FX costs a bit more than Vignette, but Vignette has an odd disclaimer when you use the zoom, the preview pic that it shows is grainy and pixellated - "but don't worry, the actual picture isn't" the disclaimer says - but IMO that rather defeats the purpose of having a preview pic.
does Camera Zoom FX have any such disclaimer? Does the preview pic show clearly if you use the zoom?
the volume rocker is the zoom. or you can pinch to zoom with stock camera.

I just downloaded both, Camera Zoom FX apk, and Vignette apk, and both of them have the option for silent shutter but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Looks like root is the only option to silence the shutter sound.

I'm trying to make good photo for 2 days, but it looks like phone has no autofocus at all, most of images are not sharp!
am I doing something wrong?
Yes it does have autofocus:
Camera with HTC ImageSense™
5 megapixel camera with auto focus, smart LED flash, and BSI sensor (for better low-light captures)
F2.0 aperture and 28mm lens
720p HD video recording
Dedicated imaging chip
Capture a photo in the midst of recording HD video
Continuous shooting mode captures multiple snapshots
Be Still For At Least A Second!!
It takes at least 1-2 seconds to focus on a thing. Be Still!
ok, but do you press screen or the photo button?
when i click photo button it seems like it makes photo instantly without any focusing
Screen and the photo button both...
There is Autofocus in One V...
When you take picture, you'll yourself come to know that it is trying to focus on a particular object.
If this doesn't happen, on the screen gently tap on the object. It will show some green borders around the are you touched and it will focus. After that, press the camera button. :good:
Anyone here use this? I try to snap a pic in landscape and it saves it sideways. I can always rotate it, but I shouldn't have to. Camera ICS saves them correctly.
Using Tiny's CM10.1 rom.
Does the same for me. Cant find any setting to change it. I dont actually use the app anymore, but bought it back at christmas time when they had the sales for 99 cents. Thought the effects were cool.
Just realized that it does work... The wrong way. I turned it volume buttons down and landscape worked the way it should. There doesn't seem to be a reverse landscape option though. I think I'm going to email them and ask about it.

I always hold mine that way to take pictures - and I use Camera Zoom FX a lot, I have no use for the effects but it's one of the few camera apps that handles display rotation correctly. The stock app is the worst, it rotates the whole display and with the glitchy preview it's a nightmare. Camera Zoom FX rotates the buttons and nothing else, much less stressful on my poor Dinc's GPU. It does only work in two positions though, but I never noticed that before and I take a lot of pictures (it's easier than writing stuff down - lol).

I do like the stock camera and the way it's integrated with the gallery, but it just sucks on the Dinc. CZFX is a really good alternative. Camera ICS is nice but I like the look and features of this one more. I emailed them on the 21st. Still haven't gotten a reply. Volume buttons down just feels upside-down to me. lol. Hopefully they'll implement a reverse landscape feature sometime. Until then, I can deal. Just made it my default cam and assigned it to the Search hardware button. I don't use it anyway, so it's nice to have a dedicated camera button. I use QuickPic as a gallery, so I deleted the Gallery2 apk. Freed up some system space. Default gallery seems to take forever to refresh after I move pics around with a file manager (even after hitting refresh).
Hi
I have had phones with which I can shout photos by just tapping on the screen.
But this camera seems too limited, although photos are great.
I am afraid that if I use any other camera the postprocessing won't be so good and photos will be worse.
Any help to shoot easier with this, my new phone?
I'm confused. What do you mean by "just tapping on the screen"? The camera app has a big button on screen to trigger the shutter. Tapping anyplace else shifts the center of focus.

Go into the camera settings and there is an option to use the volume keys to trigger the shutter if that helps you

To each their own lol, but I would much rather have touch to focus than touch to shoot

It's compatible. For example:
Motorola: dragging the "circle" it focuses. Touching the screen, out of the circle, it shots.
Xiaomi: touching the screen, it focuses. Then, once focused, in the middle of the circle appears a camera which if it's touched, it shots.
