Hi all,
Can't seem to make sense of the panoramic mode in the Z1 stock camera app.
I just want to stop the panoramic shot at the point that I want and not at the full extent as the app obliges me to do.
Am I doing something wrong ? With my previous Galaxy S3, I could take any panoramic shot in all directions while stopping when I decided.
Thanks,
Yeah - it's absurd!! I would love to know if this is possible too...

Hello Hello Hi and Hello Again! :victory:
I've been trying for a while to take photos with my Google Galaxy Nexus but there's no way to keep the focus zone while i'm shoting. Each time i touch the screen to shot the photo, the phone loses the focus zone. Is there any way to fix this?
Have you tried other focus settings? Continuous focus stinks. Try using infinity
What other focus settings? I don't see any in the Camera app.

You must be on stock ROM.

Yup, it's a big oversight in the stock camera app. I don't understand how it's not there since it was in older versions.
Try an app called Camera Zoom FX (it was previously on Google's 10 cent deal). The program allows you to touch the screen where you want the camera to focus, and it'll automatically take a shot once it's achieved focus. The big glaring weakness of Camera Zoom FX, in my opinion, is the fact that you can't adjust the exposure. (that is, you need to be able to meter the light on a different part of the scene than you're focusing).
Honestly, it's not hard. To me, the two biggest requirements:
1. Touch to focus and shoot
2. An option to measure light from a different source (e.g. take a photo of someone in front of a window; you want to meter their face and not the window's light)
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10 now, but I really don't like the Android 4.1 (nor 4.2) camera app.
The 4.1 camera wastes a whole lot of viewfinder space for the on-screen capture button, while the 4.2 camera only does pictures up to 8 megapixels and it crashes when tapping the screen while recording videos (probably due to the Xperia S being unable to do touch-focus in video mode)
Therefore I'd like to know what the best, most functional camera app of the moment is, for Android.
I'd like to be able to take both stills and videos with the same app, as well as being able to switch scene modes and use other common settings.
And more importantly, it has to look right. I want to be able to access everything I need quickly and it should feel as if it were a stock app.
If anyone could help me and probably others too, It'd be greatly appreciated. :good:
Stock camera.
Maybe Lg Camera.

Camera FV-5 is very good but does not have video.
Lg camera
On all of the Jelly bean roms I have flashed, the camera doesn't save my pictures correctly and rotates them on to there side. I have searched and search the forums, but havnt been able to find anything to help. Does anyone have a link, or solution to this problem for me?
Have you tried any other camera app on the Play store to see if it produces the same issue? If not, maybe try clearing data/cache for your camera app
I thought that was an android thing?? Gotta take pics in landscape or the portrait ones will be sideways if you transfer them anywhere,?? Maybe I'm wrong.....but I've been only taking pics in landscape ever since I read that. I know for sure that's how video works.

Strange... after transferring several images taken from my phone in both landscape and portrait to my computer they would always be in the proper orientation. Either way, it's not a big issue to fix, unless you have tons of photos to re-adjust
Hey guys, i wondered if anyone knew of a tweak or app that allows you to manually focus the camera with a "slider" or something like that.
So not the tap to focus, but rather a proper manual focus slider?
If not, would someone who knows how to wqrite apps make a overlay tweak or app to allow manual focus?
The reason i need it is when taking close up shots, the camera always cycles past the focus point making a picture impossible to shoot

In the camera settings, change focus mode from auto focus to macro. I think that'll help.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a Gallery app that actually knows what to do with portrait mode pictures? Seems like Google Photos is the only one that knows how to properly categorize/show portrait pictures. Every other gallery app I have used shows every portrait picture and the non portrait picture as it's own album. Clutters up a gallery really quick.
Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't too much off topic but felt like it was worth mentioning. My favorite all time gallery app if one hasn't tried it is Sony's Album app. To me it is hands down the best app when dealing with a lot of photos. There is a universal port here on XDA if anyone is interested, thank you.
just curious - if google photos works, why use anything else?
Sony Album app was always great and has been ported to work on pretty much any android phone
Simple Gallery

How does it handle pictures taken in portrait mode? Every other gallery app I've used creates a whole album for every portrait picture taken? So far I've only found Google Photos to handle portrait shots correctly.
