I was wondering which alternative camera app you guys/girls are using. I find the original camera app too nervous when it comes to finding a focus. Especially in dark environments.
Personally I tried Camera Zoom FX. Quite a good camera, with a pre focus option which keeps the focus and isn't 'nervous' at all. But there are 2 disadvantages..
1) The macro options makes the app jam, and must be closed and restarted. Actually, it's not even possible to make a picture with the macro mode selected.
2) The app doesn't have it's own video modus. When you want to record a movie, the app switches to the original 'nervous' camera app.
So if you are using an alternative camera app, which one are you using and why?
For *camera only* try using Camera FV-5. If you need video mode get LG Camera. Prefer the Pro version of these 2 as the free versions are pretty much limited.

hey i wanna know some good app for clicking pic like a DSLR camera .. lol kidding.. want a app that uses the wfs camera AT ITS OPTIMUM level.. and gives me the best pic it can everytime.. let it be a paid app or free but tell me some nice ones thanks in advance..
Camera zoom FX, Camera 360, Camera ICS, ProCapture, MIUI camera.
All of them give, more or less, similar results (you can't expect pro photos from mediocre hardware) and all of them has options that makes them diferent:
- Zoom FX and camera 360 have filters that you can apply right on picture;
- ProCapture has interesting and usable panorama mode;
- Camera ICS has 2x video birtrate recording... etc.
But... what i learned from years of photo hobby and what i missed from stock camera (don't use stock rom long time now) was "touch to focus" option which is visible right on display and really makes changes to exposure of photos. Camera 360 has that one but it doesn't do anything (at least for me) to exposure at all.
So curently i use MIUI camera which have that possibility and it does make photos as close as possible to what i want.
UCam is a better cam app. You try it

What settings do you use to get the best pictures on your Xperia S & SL?
What do you set for great macro photos?
What about panorama mode?
Using it in indoors and outdoors?
Taking pictures in the night time?
Getting the best portrait shots?
Share your experiences, tips & tricks.
Im using Camera Zoom FX, great camera apps, almost all the time using default or auto setting, can capture great pictures.
Stock camera app from Sony have some problem with the focus when taking picture at dark place, the picture taken also quite blurry.
majority of the time out of focus.
I have Xperia S ICS (.55) and I use Stock Camera cuz its the Best.
Normally I use Auto but I already Customize Norma Mode for use in different Mood.

Same as this guy.
I don't know why Camera Zoom FX always takes better pictures than the stock camera app
I'm really interested in Camera Zoom FX. Does anyone know if it works on Cyanogenmod 10? The stock camera app on it doesn't have enough settings
i used to use camera zoom fx but it doesn't utilize the front camera right it makes it dark as hell
what camera apps do you use or do you use stock?
I've been using Snap Camera HDR, mostly because I got used to it on my n7100, and that seems to work rather well.
I use Focal, comes with CM. But there is an apk floating around out there
I use a few of them Camera FV-5,Camera 2,UCam and Snap Camera.All work pretty well.
cymera: a good free program that lets you photo shop and take photos
a bunch more but the only con is that it has a slow shutter rate
Hey guys,
So who's given the G3's camera a run using Google's Camera app? I've tried it several times alongside the native camera app, and I realize that Google's Camera app doesn't seem to work as great as the native app.
It seems the laser assist autofocus does not work on Google Camera, since it takes a second or so for the camera to focus, instead of a few milliseconds with the native app.
HDR on Google Camera does not work as intended, either resulting in an image looking like normally shot or even at times darker.
Video recording using Google Camera app is limited to 1080p instead of 4K.
There is one thing positive with the Google Camera app though, and that it has a larger field of view compared to the native camera app. The Google Camera app almost makes it seem that the native camera app is zoomed a few times closer than it should be. I'll try to take a comparison shot to show you guys what I mean, but you can simply download the app and try it yourself
Next, I will try how the camera works with CameraZoom FX app.
Well that was expecting since I believe lg made things to work with stock...but let us know which third party works best!
I use the Google app for photosphere and lens blur.

Coming from an N5, I quickly got the Google Camera after getting my G3, but then realized the only reason I liked the Google Camera was because I shot everything with HDR+. I do miss that feature from the N5, since the G3 does not a good job at white balance in some lights, and HDR+ would always get me great looking photos, but could only shoot static targets and would take a while to shoot.
I also tried VSCO Cam and it doesn't offer much when it comes to camera settings, so things end up looking almost the same as stock, but with the slower focus like you mentioned.
Did someone come up with a way to change the way the stock camera oversharpens low light photos? It's pretty bad.
Has anyone tried LG Camera on the G3?

I only installed the Google Camera for photosphere. There really isn't any other reason to.
Also, I think the stock LG camera does have a lens blur effect.

Hi all.
So i have to firstly say G4 is the best device to date i have used. Camera is great.
I have been using a S6 for a few months prior to the G4. The Camera App on the S6 was good. The plus side of the Software modes for quick set up for stunning shots.
Does anyone know of any Apps that would have the same set of modes or a better app full stop ?
Suppose you are looking for an app that allows saving of presets. Something that should have been available in the stock camera.
There are three 3rd parties that make use of the camera 2 api.
camera fv5, manual camera by vipek and freedcam. The fv5 app wont slow shutter beyond a second.
Whether they 'better' than stock and in which way remains to be answered.
Camera F-V5 lags some features and is limited in its use for the power of the G4.
Manual Camera doesn't work with the G4, already mailed the author of the app about it. App crashes without any warning back to drawer.
freedcam is okay, but is limited in its use and doesn't use every feature or better the full feature set of the G4.
Actually the stock camera app is the best app for all features of the G4 camera, if you need scenes and modes, try another app like CameraMX (No raw.), Camera360 or one of the other million camera apps out there. For full raw power with modes, well, we have to wait. The modes of the S6 won't work until someone will port over the S6 camera app to the G4, but don't expect too much, since Samsung broke/closed the raw stream in their software, so we won't see all features of a ported app that the G4 is capable off.
