[Q] HDR and/or Flash - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Does the Nexus 7 stock camera app come with HDR or flash? I'm not seeing it as an option on mine, but I thought for sure at least HDR would be an option.

Nope. There's nowhere to flash from

How about HDR?

Nope, no HDR. I don't think HDR would really be necessary, this is a very low quality camera.

You could use an HDR app like HDR camera + or pro hdr

Is that a confirmation that it's not on your stock camera?

Megapixels are just the size of a picture. The light sensor/focus are what makes a camera quality or not.
HDR on a 3892 megapixel camera with terrible sensors will still look bad.

zoom in camera stock??

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.

That's hardware dependent. The camera hardware is greatly improved in the s3

So that still not available to flash on S2 stock?
I saw custom roms which does have that camera app like on Darkside Evolution 2 by TDJ.
thanks in advance
You can get Photaf app for panorama, and Camera 360 for HDR and other effects.

the biggest reason the S3 camera is so fast is AI Servo AF. ie full time real time auto focus. that is where most of your lag is so the S2 should also benefit from this (its the exact same camera IIRC) now it might not be able to dump a crap ton of pics as fast as you can press the button like the S3 can but it should be able to get that first shot instant like the S3 can.

Yes, the front camera is fixed focus. It's broad but it's fixed. And it's only intended to be used at arm's length.

4.3 Update Made Camera Better?

Has anyone else noticed a huge update in quality for their images using the stock camera after the 4.3 update?
I've been seeing some ridiculous improvements especially in HDR and low light photos.

If you were using a custom rom such as CM, know that the exposure setting was broken, so HDR was technically not HDR and you couldn't get more information from changing the exposure.

Black border in camera app?

How do I get rid of this? I know there's an easy fix to make it be full screen again but I can't remember it for the life of me.

Put it in the 13 mpix mode?

Actually the 13 MP setting causes that black frame. When you set your resolution from the camera settings to 10MP (Wide) it should be fine.

The reason being is because 13mp has 4:3 ratio and 10mp has a higher ratio (16:9 if I remember correctly) thus the 'view finder' reflects that.

Exactly.
Thanks! It was driving me nuts that I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. I guess I'll stick with the 10mp mode as I really don't like the black borders.

They aren't "borders" those black bars are caused by the different ratio of the image as I mentioned above. This week happen in all camera apps so unfortunately it looks like you will be stuck using 10mp if you don't like the black space.
