I searched the market and forum but couldn't find the answer. Is it possible to reassign the down volume to take a picture instead of using the optical button?
I kinda wish it was possible to press the trackpad button to automatically open the camera app instead of having to navigate to it.
I also would love to know if this is possible. The Droid x has a dedicated button for it which helps. Pressing the optical track button pushes the camera forward where it is not natural to brace against resulting in a moving camera while taking pictures which makes everything blurry. If we could use one or both of the volume buttons it would alleviate this tendency to move he phone while taking a picture.
Is this achievable through an application or would it have to entirely replace the camera app?
The secure camera widget on the lockscreen for SlimBean doesn't work correctly.
It loads up the GUI elements, but then hangs without loading the camera feed (black screen).
It is then unresponsive, however I can exit with the back key.
My second problem is that when you use the default camera app to take a picture in a separate app, after you take a picture and are asked to confirm the picture, it doesn't pause on the picture you take, rather just becomes a live feed.
Thanks.

Flash the Camera Fix located in the thread.
What about the fact that after you take a picture within a separate app (using camera), that it doesn't pause on the picture you're taking?
My Note 2 takes pictures immediately when I press the camera button.
Problem is that the camera isn’t focused. If I want to take focused pictures, I must hold camera button for a while and as soon as is focused I release it.
Samsung S3 and S4 take a snap after it‘s focused.
Is here any way to change it in settings?
I use official the camera app in auto mode, single picture mode.
Hi.. maybe i'm missing something (very probable), but i can't seem to find out if it's possible to have both buttons on the camera screen at once, for taking a photo or starting a video recording.
I've attached three pics to show what i'm on about.
1st shows M8 camera screen. Only button is to take a picture.
2nd shows M8 dual shot screen, on here it's possible to do both, take a pic or start a video.
3rd is from the One X camera screen. On it it's also possible to do both from the same screen.
Is it possible to get both options on screen on the M8? or do i have to keep switching between photo & video mode in the menu? which is a bit annoying if i want to quickly take a picture but have forgotten to switch to photo mode!
Thanks in advance for any help. :good:
That'll be a no then
By going to video mode (press the 4 circles in bottom right of the screen and select video), you can start recording video, and after you record a while, 2-3 sec, a camera button (that captures images while recording) appears under the stop button.
I don't know if there is any other way to get them both simultaneously.
The second pic is dual capture mode. This mode allows to use front and back camera at the same time not take a pic and video. You can see the red box in the corner which is the front camera image.

What i meant is that the buttons to take a picture or start recording a video are both on screen.
What i hoped for was a way to have it like the last pic from the One X, so that as soon as you start the camera up you can have photo & video buttons on screen.. but it seems as if that's not possible, maybe because of the two cameras on the back of the M8?

What about the Zoe option? You can take pictures with it or you can hold the "capture" button in for 3 seconds or so and it starts recording a video.

There already is that option in camcorder mode. As soon as you start recording the camera button becomes available for taking pictures.

This isn't exactly the best option since you lose any ability to use the duo camera effects if you take pictures with Zoe. Does anyone know of any mods that bring back the photo capture and video capture buttons on the stock Sense 6 camera UI screen at the same time?
I've noticed that using the default camera app, my first pic is usually unfocused. Even if i wait for the squares to come out and then touch to take a shot, it's still not always focused on where i tapped. But the ones after that will always be focused.
anyone else noticed this?
I'd use another app, but so far, i think the default app gives the best quality...and i'm kinda liking the tap to take a pic instead of focusing first...then pressing a shutter button..
