HDR Shots

I was wondering if there is a way to take HDR shots on the stock camera? If not, which app is the best for HDR shots?

I like camera360 it takes pretty good HDR shots

A week or so back Amazon had HDR Camera+ for free. It's not bad, I've taken some really nice shots on my Evo with it. I have not tried it the e4gt yet.

Front facing camera inversing photo?

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!

Rogers no pics during video.....

I just noticed this now because I wanted to use the feature but my Rogers SGS3 can't take pics during video. The buttons not even there. I thought we were supposed to have that feature. Anybody else have that? Fix?

I thought that while recording video all you had to do was touch the screen to take pics?

That just causes it to refocus on that area.

Are you sure? I don't think you can manually focus during video recording. Taping the screen during recording looks like it is refocusing the camera but that is in fact the animation it makes when it is snapping a still during recording. No sound, no sliding to the side animation like when taking photos. Just that slight focusing effect to let you know you it worked.
Check your gallary.

Not working, tried that. Just refocusing the video. You can see a button on the bottom right that says AF to establish AF again. No pictures in the gallery.

I am on rogers and can take pictures during video.
when making a video all you do is press the little camera icon beside the red record button
I noticed that it says nexus so iam guess your not on stock rogers?

I'm with rogers using a custom rom and that feature is there

That is odd. Sorry I was of no help. Not sure what the issue is and unfortunately I'm not on a stock rom so I cant dig thru the cam/settings to be of any help.
Can someone who is on a stock rom that is able to take stills while recording post a screen grab of their cam app to show what its supposed to look like?

I've seen pictures of what it supposed to look like. Just was hoping maybe there was an option I missed. Very frustrating.....

If you have anti shake turned on then the option to take pictures while video recording is not there. Simply turn off anti shake

If it is the stock gallery which you are talking about than it is a bug. I have the same issue.

That's probably because the pictures aren't in 16:9 aspect ratio.
If you took them with the camera app, the default ratio is 4:3. Note 2's screen is 16:9.
You can change the camera's ratio in camera > settings icon > resolution.

Can't find that in settings and it is stock camera app doing my head in

A button to snap pics from videos in gallery like note 2

My note 2 had a button on top of screen when watching recorded videos and you could take screen shots .The note 3 doesn't I know how to take screen shots but the button was way better .has anyone noticed this too?
