[Q] can M8 camera settings be saved?... - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

everytime i open the m8 stock camera, i have to set HDR mode manually. i find the colour saturation in auto mode too extreme, so would rather use HDR or even manual. is there any way to get the stock camera app to save my last used config?

Set your settings and open the options menu and save it under any name.
It will then appear as a new "camera mode" in the camera/video menu.

Camera settings greyed out

I was taking some pics today and noticed that my camera setting that can change contrast, color and brightness is greyed out. Im on js5, any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Change the scene mode to none in order to mess with those settings. Once you select a specific scene mode the phone's settings are "optimised" for those conditions are you can't change the settings independently. Set the scene mode back to none and you'll have access to the settings again.
Thanks, it was the auto contrast setting on and thats why they were grayed out.

[Q] Default Camera Issue

I've used this site for a long time for help with my phone (thnx btw), but this is my first post....
I have a tmobile g2 rooted running cm7 with go launcher ex and here is my problem: I wanted to installed camera 360 as the default camera when the hardware camera button is pushed. Upon installing camera 360 and pressing camera button, option was not given but instead opens default camera.
I thought that maybe the app didn't override the system controls and downloaded Vignette as well. This time when I hold down the camera button, it gives me the option to make vignette, camera 360, and regular camera default option of this button. Great. So I set it to camera 360 and test it and it worked.
So...I uninstalled Vignette. I don't much like it and it slows down my phone so I didn't need it. After it was uninstalled, I pressed the camera button again and the default android camera launches instead of camera 360. Checked settings in manage apps and camera 360 is still set as default option.
Installed Vignette again and pressed camera button and camera 360 launches. I have tried this process while testing the settings in camera 360 as well. All result in same result. Also tried freezing Vignette with Titanium but that doesn't work either.
So.....I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to have Camera 360 launch with hardware button without having Vignette installed. Ideas?
Manage applications > Camera > Clear defaults...?? possibly.

Using camera button resets settings...

Hello,
Whenever I use the camera button on my ZL to open the camera (which is of course what it's for ), the settings I last used are reset and I end up back in (the crappy) superior auto mode!!
When I use the camera icon in app drawer it goes back to the correct settings that I set.
This is very very annoying because:
1) Superior auto sucks
2) I want to use multi auto focus mode because all the other modes have auto-focus (so there's no use for the ZL's button).
When I open with camera button and press settings, it also goes back to "good" settings.
Any help?
Thanks
Well, I can only say that this is by design.
Camera launch by camera key called "quick launch" and generally itended for situations when you need to take picture in a hurry, without time to fiddle with settings, in any possible situation - hence default to full auto. In camera settings you can also make it to instantly take picture, without even requiring second press.
If you want to launch camera in "leisure pace" with custom settings and all, you have to use camera app icon.

Click to collapse
I understand. However with the ZL, for me, using the hardware button is by far easier and faster and I don't necesarlly use it to "quickly take a picture" but more to open the camera all the time.
It would be OK if superior mode was in fact any good

How do I save camera settings?

I don't know if I'm missing a "save" button somewhere, but is it not possible to save the camera settings in the stock camera app? I almost always want HDR and Video HDR enabled, it defaults to Normal whenever I exit the app, always. Why why? Any solutions or workarounds?

Auto Smile Capture

Morning all,
Is there anyway (native, mod or otherwise) to change the default state of this option to 'on'?
I find that I use it more often than not.
I tried saving a Custom Camera with it on, but those settings are saved.
Thanks
GF
