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.

By laggy do you mean the pause betwee when you press the button and when the picture is actually taken? That is because auto focus is trying to get the best shot. If it is not foccused when you hit the buttin it will pause until it gains focus and then take the shot. I find it annoying, but if i dont use it pictures tend to come out blured.

That's exactly it. I have a 4 year old and a 8 week old so quick pics are important.
Glad to know its just auto focus trying its best and not something else I was overlooking.

I wish our camera had the multi-shot option like my digital camera has. You hit the button once and it will take 5, 10, or 15 shots one after another or if you hold the button it will go indefinitley. But this is a phone after all, and it does still have the best camera of any phone i've ever had.
Agreed. Outside of the auto focus lag its a great camera.
What's auto enhance?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I run CM7 and the camera is just the basic Android camera with a few enhancements. It focuses and takes pictures much faster than the HTC Sense camera. But thats if you like AOSP ROM's. So the lag is really just the HTC camera interface.

Auto focus when you press down, and takes it when you let off. Also has touch to focus. I usually focus to get ready, and when I see a good shot, take my finger off and it gets it right then and there. No delay.
Hey was wondering if anyone could help
im looking for an app that lets me take long exposure photos on my DHD
Iphone has this app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magic-shutter/id408256708?mt=8
There are older threads which havnt been updated in a while so i was wondering if its either possible to recreate magic shutter for android or port it over?
regards
Hi,
have you tried "Camera Streak"? It doesn't do long exposure but multiple exposures on a single image. Its free, just search the market and give it a try.

try this

Umm, he meant the long exposure as in controling the shutter speed, not timelapse. I don't think that DHD camera shutter speed can be adjusted manually. But still, I hope you'll find the app for soft or hard tweak the camera.
thanks guys il give camera streak a shot but judging from what im reading it may not work too well but its a start
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
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
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).

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

How are you even able to shoot in SlowMotion after the Sense 5 update? I cant even do that
Removing the slowmotion on Sense 5 for the HOX was the worst thing to do

I don't know if this is the right place for this but ever since the update to sense 5 I've been getting very dark video when trying to do slowmotion I'm positive it wasn't this dark on sense 4, is everyone else getting this?

thats just what happens with slo-mo i would go all scientific but that will takee too long... if you record at a lower resolution it should make it brighter

is the hox actually increasing the shutter speed for the increased fps or is it software based that plays back the video at a lower fps?
Never been a fan of the slow motion feature on phones, no where near the fps you need for real smooth videos.

It's normal that on slow motion you have darker video than normal, i can't explain but that's it. Try with google
