I can't get used to the galaxy nexus camera, my previous phone was a galaxy s ii and while I was taking pictures all I had to do was hold down the shutter button and then it focused and I knew it dis because the viewfinder turned green, now on the nexus holding down the shutter button does not focus, it just takes the shot, to focus I have to let the phone settle for a few seconds and watch it try to focus, but it doesn't get it right quite a few times, there's no way of activating manual focus? To make things worse the viewfinder is always white, it never turns green so I find myself taking the same picture 3 times to choose the best one later :/

Yes, touch the screen and it focuses on whatever you touched.

Just click on what you want to focus on. It will continually focus on that object. On 4.0.4 it uses continuous auto focus. Don't hold down the button.
When you press it it focuses again if it is out of focus.

I'm using 4.0.4, how was the focusing done on 4.0.2? I'm not convinced I have to touch to focus and then tap the shutter button to take the pic, the thing is when I release my finger from the place I focused to tap the shutter, the phone moves well I move it involuntary and the focus is ruined

Back on 4.0.1 the camera used the standard method, press shutter till the box turned green, then its focused and you let go. But it also had quick shot too.
They removed the standard method in 4.0.4 so now all we're left with is the quick focus. I miss the old way too honestly.

Oh , I could live with the constant autofocus if the viewfinder turned green, but I never does, the only way to know for sure if the camera focused is tap the screen in the spot you want to focus and then it turns green and you should be able to take the pic, if you manage to not move the phone (accidentally)..

By laggy do you mean the pause betwee when you press the button and when the picture is actually taken? That is because auto focus is trying to get the best shot. If it is not foccused when you hit the buttin it will pause until it gains focus and then take the shot. I find it annoying, but if i dont use it pictures tend to come out blured.

That's exactly it. I have a 4 year old and a 8 week old so quick pics are important.
Glad to know its just auto focus trying its best and not something else I was overlooking.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I wish our camera had the multi-shot option like my digital camera has. You hit the button once and it will take 5, 10, or 15 shots one after another or if you hold the button it will go indefinitley. But this is a phone after all, and it does still have the best camera of any phone i've ever had.
Agreed. Outside of the auto focus lag its a great camera.
What's auto enhance?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I run CM7 and the camera is just the basic Android camera with a few enhancements. It focuses and takes pictures much faster than the HTC Sense camera. But thats if you like AOSP ROM's. So the lag is really just the HTC camera interface.

Auto focus when you press down, and takes it when you let off. Also has touch to focus. I usually focus to get ready, and when I see a good shot, take my finger off and it gets it right then and there. No delay.
You know how everyone is complaining about the camera, mainly because photos come out blurry/not sharp. The thing causing that was VERY slight movement when clicking the button to take the pic. It seemed to come out of focus very easily.
Now, with 4.0.3, I can get sharp pictures even with more movement. It's not so "touchy" anymore and stays in focus.
Anyone else notice?

I hope it's true. There's more than one camera bug.
Im surprised how well it focuses in low light with out flash.
Sent from my Google phone
You know they could offer a shooting mode that used the phones sensors to detect camera (phone) movement and hold off the shutter until motion is minimized to improve sharpness. You might want a mode that does this but other modes, like sports, that don't delay the shutter.

Good to hear, what about the white haze when near a window. Now, can anyone recommend a 4.0.3 ROM without any visual mods?

You can change the boot animation yourself. Here's a link to a 720p version of the default ICS animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380655&highlight=animation
EDIT: I've found the 720p version of the original Galaxy Nexus boot animation lags a bit, so if you're not happy with that one here's a link to a compilation of boot animations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364044&highlight=nexus+s+boot+animation
My personal favourite so far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764
wish google would add an option for the instant shutter or delayed snap after autofocus. 90% of the bad pictures are taken because the person did not either tap to focus or held down the camera button for it to focus
Same goes with panos, I wish they gave you an option for auto panning versus the snap then move, like sgs2 did
Switched to redemption a 4.0.3 ROM and now pics are a lot better. Very impressed.

Yes you can.
Open the Camera app and click the settings button twice and turn "Power Shutter" on.
I tried that and the feature is not working on my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Same here, just deal with it.
After changing the setting, exit the app and reopen it.
I also noticed you can't hold the button down for too long or the power menu pops up. Just press it once.

re: camera with power button
Got my Lumia 900 today and although the build quality is pretty great, the buttons on the side of the device are a bit loose and cause a little rattle. Anyone else notice this? If you tap the phone, you can hear a little rattle as well because of the buttons.

What's wrong with vol down+power? Seems that would be preferable over a gesture that could disturb the screen you're trying to capture.

How could it disturb the screen? You do know that it uses the proximity sensor, not touch right? Its not like you drag you hand on the screen.

Just an observation I wanted to share. When I launch camera from the home screen the display every so slightly lights up prior to going into the camera app. Does this whether power save is on or off and in any screen mode *except* Standard.
Anyone care to educate me?

Not sure I'd I fully understand what you are saying, but let me take a shot at it. It you mean the screen is getting brighter when you open the camera app, it's because the camera always opens with maximum brightness.
