zoom in camera stock?? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to know if there is any script that can activate the zoom in the camera, for me is an important function in the phone, or if someone recommends a functional application in the Xperia Play

cropping your pics after u have taken them will give u better quality or slightly better quality pics instead of zooming which can't be implemented in the stock camera apk

And that goes as well with a third party app like camera zoomfx. Just bought the app thinking there would be a zoom function while using the camera.

You just need to change the zoom type in setting to zoom number 4 (i think)
It zooms in then

It's definitely Zoom type 4. Though, the picture quality is really bad with digital zoom. You're much better off cropping a 5mp image, if quality is a concern.

Will try that Zoom type 4.

Using the camera while on the phone hack?

Is it possible for you to be able to use the camera while on the phone. Is there a hack for that?

very interesting...
only the STOCK Samsung camera App will give you that message
but if you use any of the Market camera Apps like FX camera or paper camera, vinegar camera, or any other camera they all works even during a phone call

Naturally, it's the natural image that camera takes the pictures. Most of cameras have the function to reverse the image, so the final image shows the objects just like what you see. If the image from your camera is inversed, then it means that something has been changed on the camera option or intentionally not reverse the image.
Very old camera shows the image like that...
I changed no options is this just something the device does?

Which app? do you mean Stock Camera app?
[Update] never mind. I just tested it out and found the issue in here.
The stock camera does not reverse the original image even it shows reversed image on the screen.
So, one step missing on front camera app. This should be fixed on next version....
During the time, if you need to reverse the image, there's a workaround. Go to the photo editor and select the image taken from front camera and apply the 'reverse' by clicking the arrow icon heading left side....
Thanks very much just making sure because I was like why is the image flipped!

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??

Camera auto focus

Is there a way to mod the camera so your can manually focus the shot? Sometimes when in macro mode it over focuses and the image is still blurry.
Thanks

not sure if this is what you were asking for. simply touch the spot on the screen where you need focus before taking a pic?

No that just tells the camera to focus on a specific area of the screen. What I'm wanting to be able to manually adjust the amount of focus on an image
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
ok, you need "focus ring" like capability. I am not aware of any cam app that can do that. i don't know whether the camera firmware provides interfaces for such (low-level) functionality, but an indirect method would be to use a reference ruler in the pic for gradually adjusting focal length ( still a pain, I know).

Better Camera App

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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I've used this one on my phone.
Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

Have you tried the 4.3 stock camera?
What's wrong with the camera? Not buggy for me. I like LG Camera from the play store
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
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....

Snap Camera is by far the best. Ive tried them all.

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.

Can I install the 4.3 stock camera in 4.1?
Sorry I'm noop
Has anybody in their search for a good camera alternative ever run across one that has anything like the drama mode on the S4? I would love to have that. Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

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+
