[Q] Can't Access Scene in Stock Camera - Manual Mode - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hye!
On my Xperia Z1 compact stock camera, i cant access the scene under manual mode. The button 'SCN' is available but i cant click on it.
Seems the function have been disabled.
Do you have same situation? or just my phone only?
Any suggestion how to fix this?
If i'm not mistaken, i could access the scene before this

Hey!
I believe SCN is not available if you crank up the megapixels above 8. Dont ask me why but on 15 and 20 you cant use it.. switch back to 8 and there ya go!

Thank You

Thank you! I'm thinking my phone had a problem.
So, Sony made SCN is not available for megapixels above 8.

Lag in the Xperia Camera while taking Pictures.

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 ???

I just didn't find such entry in the X1 registry. Should I add one or whatever wrong with my machine?

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.

Problem with video camera in Xperia ION

hi i have a problem, when i use the camera of my cel in the places where there are Light of day/White light (example street, school), my cam and video cam works 100%, and takes nice photos, the problem is when i use my cam where there are warm light/ yellow light (example my house when i have turned on the light) the video cam has got lot of noise and i checked the isos, mensuration,focusing, and nothing, and the problem continues
I think that the problem appeared when sony upgraded my cel from 6.1.c.1.105 to 6.1.c.1.111, i dont know if this is the problem but i did not notice that the camera never has had noise in the version 6.1.c.1.105
Any Help?

Hi again, ty i gonna try it, i have 1 question, if i install that camera mod cyber shot and then i dont wanna use anymore that cam, can i uninstall it going to settings, aplications? and replace it for the original camera with titanium back up ?
tyty
Just make sure you have a backup before you flash it. If you don't like cyber then delete it and restore the stock one. Though as stated Cyber shot is a big step forward and once you get the settings correct it works great. The one thing I have noticed about the camera in general is the auto mode is not that great. Whyle cyber shot's superior auto is better I tend to use manual mode for crisper shots.

nvm i solved this, ty!
Sorry
hey infraa sorry i didnt respond xD i had my highschool sophmore finals xD mah bad haha and its good you solved it
Its a system app so you need root to delete it. I was just saying you could use Titanium Backup for the old one so you would have the option to replace it easily. Glad you got it working.

[Q] Android 4.4.3 Manual Camera Mode Slow

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.

Unlock longer shutter speeds

Hello everyone,
Long story short, just bought nexus 5x, I have developed a few kernels in past for various devices, and I am little bit disappointed with n5x camera.
Phone does make awesome pictures, but it lacks longer shutter speeds, I would like to unlock it. Some people say that it is hardware limited, some that software, so here I am asking you how is it for real, and please, answer with any arguments, proofs, I would like to avoid guessing.
I would like to know if there is any sense in trying to unlock it and digging through source code.
Cheers
I managed to take photos with 1 s shutter speed with L Camera.

How did you do it? I could only select 1/6s as the slowest shutter speed.

Most probably fake Bulb mode, which is as stated by app creator - fake. Just multiple 1/6s pictures stacked up together

Nexus 5 hardware is capable of capturing photos at 0.86s shutter speed (5x probably too). And this app uses this capability.
1 fps preview confirms this.

This one https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/releases/download/v0.3/lcamera-debug.apk. The newest dev-build only allowed down to 1/6s.
Thank a lot.
Now I hope that will be possible to implement this feaute on other (more advanced) camera apps (fv5,proshot,....)

It does work, I will have a look at it
I confirm the with L-Camere 0.3 is possible to have a shutter time of 1s (if I select 1/1,2) and the night photos are incredible
I asked to ProShot developer if is possible to implement this feature on his great app. I hope that is possible....
Looks like HTC 10 has same camera sensor and it's camera app allows to use 2s shutter speed, unfortunately, none of htc camera app versions let's me go manual on our nexus.
Also Xiaomi YI 2 action camera has it, and it allows up to 30s while taking pics. So i guess I/we would have to edit camera libs. I also emailed lcamera creator but I don;t think that he will respond.

Hey guys, I have Nokia 8 (TA 1012) and I don't like the fact that the longest exposure time is 1/2 s. Can you help me override it? To unlock longer exposure time.

Camera app recommendations?

Currently I am using the camera app provided by RR N but I am looking for an app that has some quick toggle options to choose between;
1. Normal photos
2. Normal video (configurable resolution somewhere in the options)
3. 720p 120fps video
So the less hassle the better when changing between these options. 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 are ofc standard part of every app but to quickly change from 2 to 3 or from 3 to 2 without going thru any settings would be great. while keeping the image quality as good as possible. I've now gone thru couple of apps without any luck; Snapit, Snapdragon camera, footej etc...
So, any recommendations?

Does anyone know any similar apps. It has all the things I need just behind 1 tap. No need to pull up or down some settings or options or quick tiles or anything like that.
Snap camera
$1.99 but the best one by far that I have tried

I'm using the Lenovo Camera app after testing and examining the results of about 5 or 6 of the most popular options. Seems to give the least noise in low light and the HDR mode is not too fake or slow. Easy to use.
Can be downloaded from apkmirror:

What are the mods?
You have to edit build.prop. Before you change the file, save it - just in case! It is located in the system directory. You need to be rooted and need an app like ES File Explorer.
Change:
ro.build.flavor=athene_retasia_ds-user
ro.build.product=athene_uds
ro.product.device=athene_uds
Save the changes and restart the phone.
Start the camera, tap in the bottom right corner the camera icon and voilà.
Kudos to pijes!
