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

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).

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.
Does this just happen when you take a picture with the front facing camera does it vertically flip the photo meaning the inverse? Thanks

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!

Though that will help, night mode increases iso and shutter speed and HDR takes two pictures one underexposed and one overexposed then merges them together.
What you really need for a picture of stars is a much much longer exposure time something you won't really get on a phone.

I didn't say that just because of that BUT because of a glitch in the sense 4+ camera app.
You switch to night mode and then immediately to HDR and it will get stuck between these two modes resulting in 200-300% longer exposure, so you are able to capture stars...
This works on every JB HOX, i have tried it out

The app Camera FV-5 from the Play Store lets you set custom exposure time. And you can get tripod heads for mobile phones.

Hi all
I've been using this device for long. Recently while taking few pics i realized that camera couldn't on near objects. It can only focus on near objects upto a certain focal length and for lesser distance it focuses on far object and hence subject is blurred while background becomes focussed.. Anyone else having this issue.??

I've just taken a picture of my mouse.
The spot I marked is the spot I let my device focus, its nearly exactly 6 centimeters from the camera away.

I think that's a decent result... I tried to place my mouse a little bit closer, but then the focus couldn't handle it anymore.

If you are running older OS yes it happens, but newer version after 253 closeups are pretty good. 244 takes flawless closeups
Which camera mode are you using..
Yes i am using 244 firmware still it doesn't focus sometimes

It works fine here at 2-3cm, but not with button - You need to tap the screen on the object you need to focus. Try, maybe it will help.

Yep, the camera button doesn't try to focus that closely. If you touch the object on screen it'll focus just fine.
Thanks. I tried but it works much better with Normal mode. superior auto cannot seem to focus

Frankly speaking superior auto takes lit of time to set itself and fails its purpose that is to take pictures in hurry. Custom settings does fantastic job.

Any idea if this behavior can be tweaked? What's the point of a 2-stage shutter key if the focus doesn't work as intended?

Unless most of your shots are macro i'm pretty sure it works.
I think you can use "macro" setting when you take a close up photo.
I never use auto. Always select area and focus manually. Sooo much better

Would like to ask my fellow xda member is they noticed when taking pictures it takes a few second to register the picture taken, meaning like mine everytime I take a picture it shows "processing" right after i click tue shutter and it will take a few seconds before I can take another picture. Camera settings is at default.

With the camera you can turn off Smart Stabilization and the processing time goes away completely.
does smart stabilization actually work? I've always left it on
yes, the stabilizer is work.
I think it works pretty good in the few tests I've made, but it does cause the lag you were talking about.

Check also that you do not have "HDR" enable. HDR will take a second to complete the process
