Hi.. maybe i'm missing something (very probable), but i can't seem to find out if it's possible to have both buttons on the camera screen at once, for taking a photo or starting a video recording.
I've attached three pics to show what i'm on about.
1st shows M8 camera screen. Only button is to take a picture.
2nd shows M8 dual shot screen, on here it's possible to do both, take a pic or start a video.
3rd is from the One X camera screen. On it it's also possible to do both from the same screen.
Is it possible to get both options on screen on the M8? or do i have to keep switching between photo & video mode in the menu? which is a bit annoying if i want to quickly take a picture but have forgotten to switch to photo mode!
Thanks in advance for any help. :good:
That'll be a no then
By going to video mode (press the 4 circles in bottom right of the screen and select video), you can start recording video, and after you record a while, 2-3 sec, a camera button (that captures images while recording) appears under the stop button.
I don't know if there is any other way to get them both simultaneously.
The second pic is dual capture mode. This mode allows to use front and back camera at the same time not take a pic and video. You can see the red box in the corner which is the front camera image.

What i meant is that the buttons to take a picture or start recording a video are both on screen.
What i hoped for was a way to have it like the last pic from the One X, so that as soon as you start the camera up you can have photo & video buttons on screen.. but it seems as if that's not possible, maybe because of the two cameras on the back of the M8?

What about the Zoe option? You can take pictures with it or you can hold the "capture" button in for 3 seconds or so and it starts recording a video.

There already is that option in camcorder mode. As soon as you start recording the camera button becomes available for taking pictures.

This isn't exactly the best option since you lose any ability to use the duo camera effects if you take pictures with Zoe. Does anyone know of any mods that bring back the photo capture and video capture buttons on the stock Sense 6 camera UI screen at the same time?

I'm trying to make good photo for 2 days, but it looks like phone has no autofocus at all, most of images are not sharp!
am I doing something wrong?
Yes it does have autofocus:
Camera with HTC ImageSense™
5 megapixel camera with auto focus, smart LED flash, and BSI sensor (for better low-light captures)
F2.0 aperture and 28mm lens
720p HD video recording
Dedicated imaging chip
Capture a photo in the midst of recording HD video
Continuous shooting mode captures multiple snapshots
Be Still For At Least A Second!!
It takes at least 1-2 seconds to focus on a thing. Be Still!
ok, but do you press screen or the photo button?
when i click photo button it seems like it makes photo instantly without any focusing
Screen and the photo button both...
There is Autofocus in One V...
When you take picture, you'll yourself come to know that it is trying to focus on a particular object.
If this doesn't happen, on the screen gently tap on the object. It will show some green borders around the are you touched and it will focus. After that, press the camera button. :good:
Hi all,
I've noticed in a few photography apps which have a choice of either taking a picture or opening the gallery, that when you press the "Camera" option, it usually takes you to the stock camera but with the difference that there is no Record button, only a big capture button right in the middle.
Is there any chance of seing this as a seperate app or any way of creating a shortcut for it? I usually only use the camera and having to avoid the record button can become tiresome at times, even with the new 4.5 version.
All the best
My Note 2 takes pictures immediately when I press the camera button.
Problem is that the camera isn’t focused. If I want to take focused pictures, I must hold camera button for a while and as soon as is focused I release it.
Samsung S3 and S4 take a snap after it‘s focused.
Is here any way to change it in settings?
I use official the camera app in auto mode, single picture mode.
Hi
I have had phones with which I can shout photos by just tapping on the screen.
But this camera seems too limited, although photos are great.
I am afraid that if I use any other camera the postprocessing won't be so good and photos will be worse.
Any help to shoot easier with this, my new phone?
I'm confused. What do you mean by "just tapping on the screen"? The camera app has a big button on screen to trigger the shutter. Tapping anyplace else shifts the center of focus.

Go into the camera settings and there is an option to use the volume keys to trigger the shutter if that helps you

To each their own lol, but I would much rather have touch to focus than touch to shoot

It's compatible. For example:
Motorola: dragging the "circle" it focuses. Touching the screen, out of the circle, it shots.
Xiaomi: touching the screen, it focuses. Then, once focused, in the middle of the circle appears a camera which if it's touched, it shots.
Hello. I want my phone to take a picture every second with 108MP option on. There is an app called "Open Camera" and it can take a picture every second but the resolution is 12mp - 4,000x3000. The ultra resolution is 12,000x9,000. I'm looking at android developers on Fivver but most of them don't know how to do edit the app or make a new one. Anyone here knows how I can make my phone take a picture every second and make like 100 pictures?

Burst shots are low quality pictures. Anyways, I found a solution. It's called Auto Click app. It will push shutter button for you and take as many pictures as you want.
