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.

[Q] How to replace camera shutter sound in CM 7.1?

I just flashed CM 7.1 to try and get an ICS-like theme going.
The ROM is great except for the camera shutter sound which is killing me!
Where can I find an alternative sound and which file should I replace?
Thanks!

Why not just turn the sound off or put it in vibrate mode when you're using the phone to take pictures? I know there's a setting in CM7 somewhere where you can disable the shutter sound itself, but it still makes the beep-beep sound when it auto focuses.

Download the app quicksetting from market and use it to turn system volume off, no more annoying beeps

No idea how to change it, but you can silent it in cm7.
Settings - cm7 settings - sound - mute camera

the camera will b silent but you will still get a beep with autofocus, also you can find the cameraclick.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui, if you want the whole thing silenced then use the app i suggested above.

If you want to change the sound and not shut it down go to system/media/audio/ui
and take the cameraclickogg from there now download the sound you want then convert it to .ogg and rename to cameraclick
Hope i helped!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I know how to mute the shutter sound and have done so but that is not an optimal solution for me. The thing is I prefer to have shutter sound on but the stock one in CM is making my ears bleed [not really].
When I was on Sense I used the Amaze 4G camera app which has a very pleasant shutter sound. If anyone could extract that somehow I would be very thankful

[Q] Camera sound

How to disable sound when I'm entering to camera application?

I'm not aware that there is an enter sound. You can however disable shutter sound in the camera settings.

Shutter sound is when you make a picture.
I'm asking about disabling sound when you enable\enter to camera aplication.

Could you tell exactly what you are doing. No matter how I enter the camera (click on Camera app, press button on the side) or if sound is enabled/disabled I don't have any sound.

There is "enter sound" when you bring camera up with dedicated shutter camera button
Root,install sony moded exposed framework and find addon that disables that sound...
All the addons for z1 work on our phone too
ps. There is even addon that gives you 20mp in auto mode which is nice if anyone uses auto mode

This disables the startup sound of the camera

[Q] How to disable camera quick launch sound

I am looking for a way to disable the camera quick launch sound. I am not talking about the shutter sound, which can be disabled in camera options, but the sound which plays when the camera is started from the lockscreen or using the camera button, but not when started from the app drawer.

There are is already a thread about this + solution :good:

Unfriendly camera shutter

Hi
I have had phones with which I can shout photos by just tapping on the screen.
But this camera seems too limited, although photos are great.
I am afraid that if I use any other camera the postprocessing won't be so good and photos will be worse.
Any help to shoot easier with this, my new phone?

I'm confused. What do you mean by "just tapping on the screen"? The camera app has a big button on screen to trigger the shutter. Tapping anyplace else shifts the center of focus.

Go into the camera settings and there is an option to use the volume keys to trigger the shutter if that helps you

To each their own lol, but I would much rather have touch to focus than touch to shoot

It's compatible. For example:
Motorola: dragging the "circle" it focuses. Touching the screen, out of the circle, it shots.
Xiaomi: touching the screen, it focuses. Then, once focused, in the middle of the circle appears a camera which if it's touched, it shots.
