Camera Setting

I found in few threads people talking about adjusting the exposure etc. I searched found an article http://www.whatmobile.net/2011/03/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-review-part-1/
They says in our camera we have
The still image controls are:
Capturing Mode (Normal, Scene Recognition and Smile Detection)
Resolution (8MP for 4:3 and 6MP for 16:9, plus 2MP for 4:3 or 16:9)
Touch Capture (On/Off) for pressing on the screen to take a photo
Scenes (Off, Landscape, Night Portrait, Sports, Document, Portrait, Night Scene, Beach & Snow, Party)
Flash (Auto, Off, Fill Flash, Red-eye Reduction) – no more advanced menu to turn the light on or off!
Self-timer (10 Seconds, 2 Seconds)
Focus Mode (Single autofocus, Macro, Infinity, Multi autofocus, Face Detection, Touch Focus)
Exposure Value (+/- 2)
White Balance (Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy)
Metering (Centre, Spot, Average)
Image Stabiliser (On/Off)
Geotagging (On/Off)
Shutter Sound (1, 2, 3, Off)
But I only have Capturing mode, resolution, touch capture, self timer, flash, geotagging and shutter sound. How to get the rest of the options??
Thanks in advance

By pressing the menu button, or dragging the on screen controls to expand to the full set. Once you have all on screen, you can drag them around so that the 5 most useful to you remain once the controls are minimized.

tried that but didn't work

There is no Exposure Value, Metering, Image Stabilise or Scenes

Go to Capturing Mode and set it to "Norma" and NOT Smile detection or auto
And then u have all the settings..
Hope that works..

how about this? change to your Capturing mode to 'Normal' instead of 'Scene recognition'? the options u mentioned that u got seem to be Scene recognition one..

edit: repeated post, someone answered the question already..

Thanks Mate .. Now I can see it.

How about digital zoom? I can't seem to find it too..

On the latest 4.0.A.2.368 build from July (I think) it also zoom on the 6M and the 8M mode.

Yaeh 4.0.A.2.368 added support for zoom for all resolutions but only in Photo mode..
Not for video mode yet

Old Builds have Shutter Sounds Off?
on .368 it does not have that setting

the zoom is just digital zoom so better avoid using it.

Does on UK Generic.
From my phone to your eyes.

Some countries it is illegal to take photo without Shutter sound and that small orange flash.. Maybe SE localised firmware tries to keep in line with country rules and doesn't allow you to disable.. Just a guess..

Mine shutter sound is also off. I'm on .368 on Generic Global.

Looking for specific camera app

I'm looking for camera app that has:
* fast brust picture option
* panorama picture option
* macro
* face detection
* Image Stabilizer (especially while using flash in dark places)
Now I use the default app the comes with SGS3 but I have always blury pictures when I take pictures at night \ in dark places. Panorama pictures also blury.
Any suggestions?

There are other camera apps out there, check Google Play Store under the Apps, Photography section and play around with any app that takes your fancy.
Try to remember that the SGS3 is a camera phone, not a camera. Night shots will be tricky on this phone due to sensor size, led flash and 2.6 f stop.
The stock camera app does all you want apart from good low light stabilization. Image stabilization will not prevent blur in photos. High iso speed and fast shutter will but you will loose image quality.

what about the blury panorama shot?

Camera ZOOM FX has a nice stable shot feature and also burst shot mode, but i doubt it has panorama feature.

Buy "procapture" clearly the best camera atm.also contains most of the features u request
Edit: if u want a really cool, featurerich gallery go for "fish bowl photo gallery",it's free in market

I'd have to say Camera360 or CameraZoomFX. For burst shooting i think you'll have to stick with the stock app.

Rear camera too dark

Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.

Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.
The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.

I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.

Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.

Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.
What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.
That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.
I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.

It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.

I went back and tested my camera in more depth.
When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?
Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?
I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.

Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.

4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.

[Q] What is full list of camera addons...

Hello.

Well... I can start counting from my own camera in 4.3:
If you launch the application from the camera button or by swiping to the camera, it will open in scene selection(kinda like xperia z superior auto, but even worse), while if you open it by the app drawer, it will launch in the last mode.
The Scene Selection mode disables scenes and exposure settings and it enables taking pictures in bursts(from the front camera, too), however in my experience the pictures aren't better than picking your own settings in manual mode.
The shortcuts aren't customizable anymore(it's mostly a pity for the hdr mode and metering, most other settings are leave and let go)
You can pick 10 scenes for photos and videos(photos didn't have scenes) and also picking a scene disable the white balance and exposure settings. The scenes are in the attachments. (Most of the scenes don't really work, but the documents scene makes the photos real good).
White balance and exposure are the same, finally.
Preview(leaving the photo to show for a period of time): 3 seconds, 5 seconds, unlimited and edit(opens the edit photos app).
D... Different shutter sound(to be clear, the sound when you take a picture)
The new menu(the xperia z1 has this too, not that important)
