It appears that 4.0.3 has fixed the camera issues

You know how everyone is complaining about the camera, mainly because photos come out blurry/not sharp. The thing causing that was VERY slight movement when clicking the button to take the pic. It seemed to come out of focus very easily.
Now, with 4.0.3, I can get sharp pictures even with more movement. It's not so "touchy" anymore and stays in focus.
Anyone else notice?

If this is true, then it's awesome.

I hope it's true. There's more than one camera bug.

Im surprised how well it focuses in low light with out flash.

You know they could offer a shooting mode that used the phones sensors to detect camera (phone) movement and hold off the shutter until motion is minimized to improve sharpness. You might want a mode that does this but other modes, like sports, that don't delay the shutter.

Good to hear, what about the white haze when near a window. Now, can anyone recommend a 4.0.3 ROM without any visual mods?

You can change the boot animation yourself. Here's a link to a 720p version of the default ICS animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380655&highlight=animation
EDIT: I've found the 720p version of the original Galaxy Nexus boot animation lags a bit, so if you're not happy with that one here's a link to a compilation of boot animations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364044&highlight=nexus+s+boot+animation
My personal favourite so far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764

wish google would add an option for the instant shutter or delayed snap after autofocus. 90% of the bad pictures are taken because the person did not either tap to focus or held down the camera button for it to focus
Same goes with panos, I wish they gave you an option for auto panning versus the snap then move, like sgs2 did

Switched to redemption a 4.0.3 ROM and now pics are a lot better. Very impressed.

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.

bump.

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.

Rogers no pics during video.....

I just noticed this now because I wanted to use the feature but my Rogers SGS3 can't take pics during video. The buttons not even there. I thought we were supposed to have that feature. Anybody else have that? Fix?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I thought that while recording video all you had to do was touch the screen to take pics?

That just causes it to refocus on that area.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Are you sure? I don't think you can manually focus during video recording. Taping the screen during recording looks like it is refocusing the camera but that is in fact the animation it makes when it is snapping a still during recording. No sound, no sliding to the side animation like when taking photos. Just that slight focusing effect to let you know you it worked.
Check your gallary.

Not working, tried that. Just refocusing the video. You can see a button on the bottom right that says AF to establish AF again. No pictures in the gallery.

I am on rogers and can take pictures during video.
when making a video all you do is press the little camera icon beside the red record button
I noticed that it says nexus so iam guess your not on stock rogers?

I'm with rogers using a custom rom and that feature is there

That is odd. Sorry I was of no help. Not sure what the issue is and unfortunately I'm not on a stock rom so I cant dig thru the cam/settings to be of any help.
Can someone who is on a stock rom that is able to take stills while recording post a screen grab of their cam app to show what its supposed to look like?

I've seen pictures of what it supposed to look like. Just was hoping maybe there was an option I missed. Very frustrating.....

If you have anti shake turned on then the option to take pictures while video recording is not there. Simply turn off anti shake

Camera auto focus

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
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

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).

Better Camera App

Hey I'm currently using slim bean 4.2.2 build 8. I'm looking for a better camera app on my phone because the one that comes with the ROM is very buggy. Does anybody have an app that still has the stock Google 4.2.2 look and feel that is fully working?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I've used this one on my phone.
Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

Have you tried the 4.3 stock camera?

What's wrong with the camera? Not buggy for me. I like LG Camera from the play store
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Snap Camera from the play store works well and has the 4.3 interface

I like the 4.3 stock camera, it gives you the photo sphere option. Other than that, a camera is a camera to me.

How about camera zoom fx... havent tried that, but heard about its reviews....

Snap Camera is by far the best. Ive tried them all.

I also vouch for Snap Camera. It's like stock but with added features and simplicity.

Have to agree with ya'll, Snap Camera is pretty awesome.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here...
Normally I ignore app recommendations from this site because sometimes they're just god-awful... but lgcamera is pretty amazing. It's got plenty of advanced features for serious photographers that left their SLR at home and stumble across a perfect photo opp.
Extremely fine ISO control, plenty of resolution choices, AND the ability to set volume up as focus, and volume down as capture.
Overall, with my small snap on telephoto lens for proper zooming and a touch of manual focus, this app has restored my faith in non-SLR cameras for hobby shots. Best free camera app there is, even if the interface is hideous.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Never tried snap camera but I have a copy of the Google photo sphere (awesome features) camera, this seems to give me much better stills and video compared to the gs3 stock camera. Pm me if you want it I'll forward it to you.

Can I install the 4.3 stock camera in 4.1?
Sorry I'm noop

Has anybody in their search for a good camera alternative ever run across one that has anything like the drama mode on the S4? I would love to have that. Thanks for any ideas you can provide.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Slightly off topic, I was playing around with the Touchwiz version of the camera for the i747M and it has the anti-shake feature that can be toggled on and off. Is that a HW or a SW based feature?
I like the Touchwiz customizations in some sense but the low DPI hurts my eyes

snap camera win here.

I use CameraJB+ and absolutely love it I used CameraICS+ on my Infuse 4G before this and it took better video and pics than the stock camera......

+1 for camera jb+
