Hey,
Having a few problems with the camera while in manual mode. Most times the manual mode either lags or dosent work. I can snap snap a few pictures and then when i try to change the settings in manual it wont work, it looks like it working but the changes dosent apply. Extremly annoying. The only solution is too reset default settings..
Also, if changing shutter speed to 4s when its lots of light it will make that setting stuck and even if i change it to higher it will just lag until i change back to auto mode and then back again.
This bothers me a LOT! anyone having the same problem? Also is it possible to NOT preview the shutterspeed, and just apply it when taking the picture (like most cameras).
edit: Just tryed the manual mode again and the manual settings is not working now either.

I have the very much same problem and can't find a solution, I'm afraid that I'll have to perform a hard reset. I tried to reset the camera settings to default, tried to remove the app data from the settings menu and none of this worked. But the manual setting funcion was working OK for me originally.

Yes, very annoying and i can not find why it seems to works sometimes. Please pm me or reply in the thread if a hard reset worked. Just spent 2 hours making my screen as sexy possible with widgets and apps so i rather not do i hard reset.:angel:

Thanks to @Frutek from the Pictures taken with M8 thread I now have a working solutions. Set your language back to English and the manual settings will work again. BTW, what is the language you are using the phone in now? Mine was Czech, I guess that Frutek used Polish... So it may have problems with Slavic languages.
All i can add to this is setting shutter to 4 means it updates the preview every 4 seconds as you probably know but this setting only works in low light dark night settings. my manual settings do lag to and maybe htc will patch this soon

Hi,
I have used different roms, including the orignal one, i always face the problelm with the camera, when i press the camrea button to take the snap, it capture the photo after 2,3 seconds, and in that time, (pplz have moved, and its always blurr), how i can remove this Lag time for the camera, so it take the photo shot, as soon i press the camera button.
this is really irritating and annoying, Hope to get some true solution to it.
Regards
Jade
There is a quick fix to the lag. Go to focus options and choose the infinite one!
I tried via this way many time, but still facing lag problem while taking the pictures, the snap shot is taken after 1-2 seconds of pressing the camera key.
Is there any repair, or fix CAB for it , or some other solution.
Regards
Jade
General Tip
the easy way is to use sport mode (i made it the default scene mode). however you will always not like the color it get, but acceptable in bright light condition. Next, i set the focus to infinite, manual white balance. The rest will depend on your phone software/system configuration.
if you are willing/knowlege enough, i suggest to change the system cache (cache,repl,gdi,fat entry cache,block transfer) just big/small enough for your need. Too small = sluggish respond, too large = may unstable the phone, data lost/corrupt, random lockups.
Oh, do try the xperia x2 vga driver and sdcard tuneup if you haven't already.
Try HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam and set CapKeyDelayTime to 0.

That's the one! Or use Xperia Tweak, and look for shutter delay in the camera section, if you don't want to edit the registry directly yourself.
does anybody have this problems with x1 camera..... the result of the picture is darker when you transfer it to a pc or upload it.... its only show the true color on the xperia image preview, when actually its too dark... any one ???

Hi Paul,
Xperia Tweak 2.0 doesn't have the said camera section. May be a new version available, where can I get it? Thanks in advance for your advice.
oops, sorry... the option is in Advanced Config (I confuse the two applications, Advanced Config is much more comprehensive)
htc camera
sorry mate. that parameter does not exist on stock rom. unless it's already cooked or you install it yourself. and it's for htc cam app(which i think the iso speed option did not work. like i want 400, it capture in 201), not experia default one.
to uhuy*
you got it all wrong. your handheld/camera/phone lcd display will never show the true color/contrast/etc output of the recorded image. they are very limited in everything and tend to trick your (inexperience) mind about how good/bad things are. think, winmo only output 65k(16bit) color. doesn't matter if your screen got 200 thousand+ or 16m color display screen. it's capped that way. what you're seeing have been through interpolation, resampling, device enhancement, bla..bla..bla. the real thing is on your desktop monitor(assuming it's decent and you didn't mess it up). gamma too low perhaps?

Expert Opinion?
I'm facing the same problem with Xperia X1 camera lagging, and blurry...
I'm using the default Xperia cam software.
Any expert care to provide a comprehensive solution to this problem?
Only fix : Sports mode + Infinite focus.

great fix!! worked for me!
I recently upgraded to a Touch Pro 2 from a Mogul, massive improvement (other than the lack of hardware keys). So I was a little worried when first using the camera, but the interface quickly grew on me. After installing everything I had on the Mogul, and a few other things that weren't previously supported, I went to snap a quick picture. But for some reason I now have to press and HOLD the shutter button for about 2 or 3 seconds while it auto-focuses then finally takes the picture. For the last week or two (since I've had the phone) I just tapped the button and it focused and took the picture, and was a lot quicker.
I've gone through all of the new cabs I've installed and looked for changes to the camera's registry settings, but found nothing (other than the enabling of the extra modes).
I've also tried changing the Key Delay settings in Advanced Config. Normally I find solutions to any problems I encounter by searching the xda forums, but this time all I'm coming up with is TP2 camera reviews, and stuff about the TP Shoot Options (which are related to the TP's hw button, I'm guessing?).
It's not a huge problem, I mean everything still works as it should. It's just kind of annoying having to hold the button and wait. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, pressing the Enter key on the hardware keyboard still has the desired effect. It's just something with the on screen shutter button.

I too have encountered this problem and can't figure out what is causing it. Also, I have noticed that for my video recording, it is stuck on the lowest resolution of S (128x96) in mpeg4 mode. When I first got the phone, I recall setting it to best resolution, forgot which one that was, but I can't even tap on the resolution to change it from small, just makes error clicks. Does anyone know what's wrong or how to fix this? (Short of a hard reset of course)
I am guessing you guys are using stock roms? I would highly suggest flashing a custom rom, they are in my experience 100x better than stock roms. If you dont want to go that route, you can search the forums for the Advanced Configurations tool, download it and install. It has options for your camera settings, among many other very useful settings. I believe the camera has a delay by default, which can be disabled in the Advanced config menu. I have also found that disabling the shutter sound and setting the flicker adjustment to 50 hz seems to give better/faster camera performance. Also check in TP2/Tilt2 Genereal Discussion / Cabs, Tips, and Tweaks thread, you can enable more camera modes and video modes by doing some pretty easy registry tweaks
Yeah I've had custom roms on all of my previous phones, but I've had no problems with the stock one so far (contrary to the previous ones, which is why I flashed). As per my original post, the settings in Advanced Config do not relate to the problem I (and apparently others) am experiencing. I would say this is the problem that would make me flash a custom rom, but the problem didn't start until a few weeks after using the phone. I totally agree with you on the flicker and sound settings though.
The problem isn't really a "delay", its a matter of 'Press' vs 'Press & Hold'. It really isn't a problem though. In fact, it actually keeps me from accidentally taking pictures. One thing I did do though is set my Back key to Enter (which still works right). So now I have a hardware shutter button.

Try BsB Tweaks and turn on hidden camera modes. Should open up the number of video options.

i also have the problem of the video resolution only S (128x96), i install bsb tweks (2 times), turn on all the video related settings (4 or 5 times on and off), soft reset (4 or 5 times) and nothing, please help, this is frustrating

radioman, what ROM are you using? Once you have the options switched on in BsB tweaks, the additional resolutions should become selectable in the options menu in the vid camera (under the "advanced" button).
sirphunkee im using the factory original att rom, i turn on the bsb tweaks video options, go to the video camara, click advance and the resolution tap is not working, can not select nothing, its gray out, make a sound everytime i touch it

Understood, thank you. Are you able to click/select the "Capture Format" options in that same list in "Advanced" vid settings....or is it greyed out/locked as well?
EDIT: I just saw your post in the other thread, I'll throw BsB back on my phone in a few and then list the exact steps/options I used.
Ok radioman, here's what I did...
In BsB tweaks, I switched on all the following options:
-Hidden Camera Modes (probably only affects the still camera, but it's one of the ones I turned on when the extra video options appeared, so you might want to try it anyway)
-Video Formats
-Camera Superfine
-Video BitRate
Once I switched those all on, I just went into the video camera settings, clicked the "advanced" button, and then I could click on and change both the "capture format" and "resolution" selections. I believe that the 640x480 resolution is only available in the MPEG4, Motion JPEG, and 3GPP2 formats.
I tried this with BsB was only able to get 640x480 in 3GPP2 on my tilt 2.
ok,sirphunkee thanks for your time, but the first time i instaled bsb tweaks i did everything like you said but nothing, i can change and choose all the capture formats, H.264, H.263, 3GPP3, MPEG4 and Motion JPEG, but i can't change the resolution in any format, the only option is S (128 x 96), i am kind of desperate!
can anyone help here?? the videos are so small!!!
I've tried to change the settings including the mode and exposure but same issue. Like I said when I am about to take a picture and looking at the screen, lighting is great, I take the picture but then when it hits the gallery it is so much darker.
Any ideas? I changed over from the nexus s which always took awsome pics and this is supposed to be better so any help would be appreciated.
I have not gone to a custom rom yet fyi.
appreciate the help
I notice that too. I think it's because the phone automatically turns brightness all the way up in the camera app, then it goes back to the brightness you set to when you exit the camera app. So that makes the picture turns out to look a lot darker.
try wiping the app data

My phone is fully stock and has never been rooted. I updated to 4.4.3 a few days ago, and notice the manual mode in the camera is slow. Even if I use the fastest shutter speed, it takes a few seconds to take a picture. Auto mode is quick as usual. Anybody have a solution?

Well you are not alone.
In the topic regarding the pics taken with the M8 we were discussing about the fact that now you can't see anymore what you shoot when using 4 second shutter speed (very annoying ) and also I've noticed like you that now in manual mode it's incredible slow.
I don't know I'd we are in the right place to discuss this matter...Personally I'm upset because I don't understand why they did this mess. I'm not fan of the UltraPixel camera and neither a fanboy, so I get used to the m8 camera, but now with this change HTC left me very disappointed.
I don't think they will revert back to the old camera...For them this is an improvement...

Man, that's crazy. The only improvement the camera needed was HDR mode (I use the lock focus trick, but I wish that wasn't needed), and removing the purple fringing if that was possible to fix in the software. Oh, if HTC added a fast shutter priority mode, that would have been nice.
But yes, they need to fix manual mode.
(POCO F3 LATEST MIUI 14 STOCK)
I got this new phone yesterday, overall it's pretty good, but i noticed something weird, when playing games, specially shooters where you need presicion it doesn't have a good response to small movements,
it's like having high deadzones with a analog stick from a controller, it doesn't recognizes position changes of the finger immediately after the start of its movement.
i have to pass a couple milimeters of distance from the initial position to the next to register, i haven't seen much people talk about this but some people say that it is a phone issue, others say it's a miui or rom issue, i seriously want to root the phone to test other roms, but i don't want to lose the warranty right now so i want to make sure if i can do something i didn't do.
My poco x3 nfc didn't have that issue, but i sadly can't do comparisons because it's not longer working.
Video example from reddit, not my post but it is my exact problem.
Thanks for reading.
(EDIT) i fixed it! it was just to manually adjust some settings in game turbo, this was getting through my nerves, please watch this video if you have the same issues.
I have the same problem with that, but i tried a lot of roms and fixes for that nothing helped.
If you really need only in game's, i found a solution of small movement via gyroscope, maybe that could help you.
This sucks... Yeah i use gyroscope to do these small movements for now.
Do you have the same phone? I'm thinking of returning it, but i still don't know if this one i got is a bad unit or all poco f3 suffers from this. I'm still thinking what is the best thing to do.
I have same phone i don't think its unit problem . Root your phone (you can easily unroot later) and use increase touch magisk module by vito hermawan.
