I've looked thru and haven't seen anything for gs2 about if it's possible to increase the shutter speed on the camera..coming from sensation it's a noticeable diff. And the instant shutter was handy when trying to capture pix of my on the go toddler...anything known to help?

If you tap the screen to focus first and then tap the shutter, it works much faster.

Forgive me if there's an easy answer to this that I missed, but has anyone modded the camera app to use the volume rocker for shutter a la iphone? Definitely my biggest frustration moving from the OG epic. Glad that it's my only hangup. Searched every forum and didn't see anything.

What a coincidence, look who it is...lol. I know its baked into gtg's NoName ROM. It has volume up to snap pics and if you hold it then it focuses and takes pic. I don't think its out there as a stand-alone mod. Oh, also check your PM's!!

I use hxcamera mod. Not only does it use the volume keys to focus/capture it also incorporates the high bit rate video and audio mod. See post 7 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183334
Also, Camera Zoom FX in the market has the option to map hardware keys. It was one of the 10c apps yesterday so if you hurry you may still get the deal.

Can anyone tell me if this mod fixes the high gain mic recording issue so videos aren't distorted? How do you install this mod onto a rooted epic touch?
Thanks.
To install on a rooted e4gt all you have to do is save or paste it into the "system/app/" folder. You must have read/write access. I use Root Browser in ROM Toolbox, it has r/w by default (I think). I usually rename the original "camera.apk" to "camera.apk.bak" first so I have a backup. If you have a shortcut on your home screen you will need to make a new one.
I am not familiar with the audio distortion other than it being low quality in the stock camera (64kbps if I remember correctly from other threads). Check the links in the previous posts to see if the high bit rate audio mod addressed the issue.

which Camera App are you referring to?
Wow I have had this phone since day one and never even noticed that we didn't have zoom. Just tried the volume key and was shocked. That goes to show I have way too many freakin phones. Not spending enough time with the GSII. Trying wp7 and playing with my Nexus.
F_uck xda. Mods s_uck as_s here. You guys have ran off some of the best developers for our phones because of your arrogance. S_uck my dic_k lame as_s ****_s.
I'm with the zoomable crowd. I can zoom no problem. Are you guys sure you're not holding it wrong?

Pinch zoom and volume zoom both working fine on Juggernaut.
Not sure what you're smoking, but I'm mad you're not sharing.
But zoom works fine here, and I've used it on just about every rom out.

Because the camera would lose detail or speed when zoomed in on video mode
Lol I just figured out the spread to zoom option like a month ago...and the volume rocker zoom on accident this week.
Conclusion: We're so smart, we're dumb.
Don't like the shutter lag on the stock lg camera, here's an app that does the job
Very fast and simple to use. Down side is u can't take 16:9 pics

Camera App
I like the fact that the ICS Camera App let you snap a photo using the volume buttons, but it took horrible video. Not even close to HD...
hi, but why when you use the third parrty camera app, ex. camera zoom, procapture, the exif information change??
Am I the only one who is sad that the Stock Camera doesn't have an on screen shutter? I wish it did. It has so many more customizable options than a third party app like Camera Zoom FX or UCam. Sometimes it is awkward trying to hit that tiny little shutter button. Especially chasing a 2 year old. Any thoughts?
Doesn't it have like power or volume shutter

No. That would be awesome too. Apparently I dont have the correct Kernel that supports the MIUI Camera with the power button shutter. That would be very streamlined.

Certain roms have the power/volume shutter button option but I'm pretty sure that the camera ICS app has that option too.. And there is a free version in the play store

Are you on stock tw? I thought it had that option. Haven't used tw since last month but aokp has the power button option.

I'm on the Darkside Evolution v8. The camera that comes with it doesn't hVe it. I'll check out the ICS camera in the play store. See what it has. .
:Update: The ICS Camera in the Play store has the ability to use volume button as the shutter. It works well. I wish it had more custom options but it fits the bill. Thanks !

Hey I'm currently using slim bean 4.2.2 build 8. I'm looking for a better camera app on my phone because the one that comes with the ROM is very buggy. Does anybody have an app that still has the stock Google 4.2.2 look and feel that is fully working?

I've used this one on my phone.
Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

Snap Camera from the play store works well and has the 4.3 interface
I like the 4.3 stock camera, it gives you the photo sphere option. Other than that, a camera is a camera to me.
How about camera zoom fx... havent tried that, but heard about its reviews....

I also vouch for Snap Camera. It's like stock but with added features and simplicity.
Have to agree with ya'll, Snap Camera is pretty awesome.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here...
Normally I ignore app recommendations from this site because sometimes they're just god-awful... but lgcamera is pretty amazing. It's got plenty of advanced features for serious photographers that left their SLR at home and stumble across a perfect photo opp.
Extremely fine ISO control, plenty of resolution choices, AND the ability to set volume up as focus, and volume down as capture.
Overall, with my small snap on telephoto lens for proper zooming and a touch of manual focus, this app has restored my faith in non-SLR cameras for hobby shots. Best free camera app there is, even if the interface is hideous.

Never tried snap camera but I have a copy of the Google photo sphere (awesome features) camera, this seems to give me much better stills and video compared to the gs3 stock camera. Pm me if you want it I'll forward it to you.

Slightly off topic, I was playing around with the Touchwiz version of the camera for the i747M and it has the anti-shake feature that can be toggled on and off. Is that a HW or a SW based feature?
I like the Touchwiz customizations in some sense but the low DPI hurts my eyes
snap camera win here.
I use CameraJB+ and absolutely love it I used CameraICS+ on my Infuse 4G before this and it took better video and pics than the stock camera......
+1 for camera jb+
