I've noticed if you snap a photo with LG Camera app and immediately press the back button or switch off the screen, the photograph is not going to be saved and you will loose it. You really need to wait until you see a preview of it in a circle on the right side.
And that time can be up to 2-3 seconds, which is really annoying.
Native google camera doesn't have this bug.
Has anyone else experienced such behavior?

No problem here...... Just tried it.
If I snap and immediately press the back button it quits the camera app but if I go back into the app the thumbnail of the shot is there.
So no, my G3 takes the shot and saves immediately.

That's why it takes a while.. HDRs don't render instantly and need some time to process. The reason it doesn't save when you back out is because it's still taking pictures.

So, I understand that, but why does it need to discard the photo if I close it too fast ? Can't it just schedule the processing in the background like Google camera does ?
With Google camera if it is in HDR mode and I switch off the screen immediately after taking a picture, the photo will still be saved.

I believe it's because the way HDR works is it takes multiple pictures at different exposures and puts them together so maybe the lg camera takes the pictures more slowly and you're quitting it while the shutter is still open?

What is the point of quitting camera app immediately after making a shot? I think you probably want something that is nonexistent. Shoot with your Google camera if you in so desperate need to quit camera app after each shot. What else to advice

Now you're saying that I have to just idle 3 seconds after taking HDR photo.

NONSENCE is your BS, that you talking about. All other phones are unresponsive while taking HDR pictures. Because of simple fact that taking HDR requires he11 of lot of postprocessing. So why talk NONSENSE and demand G3 to make it instantly?

Okee first off your comment is rude and disrispectful, secondly if you don't want your photo's getting deleted deselect hdr, wait 2-3 seconds or contact LG/stock based rom developer to enable processing in the backround for hdr photos

As I said before, a google camera app doesn't have this problem. It produces hdr fine, even if you close the app immediately.
Obviously you gonna ask why am I not using it. I find that lg camera produces better results in HDR mode.
I usually don't reply to semi trolly post but I just took an HDR and instantly hit the back button and it doesn't save. (Of course) but I did the same thing and waited MAYBE a second maybe less and the photo finished processing and saved even though I backed out.
@op does the phone close when you take a picture or are you just intentionally hiring the back button that quickly on purpose? I literally had to try to NOT take a picture to keep it from processing. In just curious why someone would back out of taking a picture each time so fast. Well an HDR anyway

I presume that LG camera made that behaviour intended, programmers decided that if back or home buttons pressed immediately after pic is shot then use decided not to save picture so camera stops processing completely and doesn't save photo on memory. I think it is not problem it is a feature.

1. I do not talk nonsense especially when photography is the subject.
2. My previous phone was a Z2 which I would hardly call inferior.
3. If you wish to take a non standard photo then you also have to allow the processor time to complete it's action. As such 3 seconds (which by the way it is nothing like this on my G3) is adequate.
4. What gives you the right to insult any user. All that was given to you was an example of a waiting period prior to doing something else. In no way did that give you the right to be offensive.
return your phone and get a nexus

Is there any possebility? It drives me crazy when you try to take a picture of a friend and yourself!
I searched a whole lot, but this "Big Button Camera" App that is out there replaces the normal camera and its not free.
If there would be an App that lays the Shutter on volume Down or Up during camera mode, that would be great! I can zoom (if I need it) on screen...

For making pictures of yourself you can use the self-portrait function. The phone then sees your face in the frame and takes a picture. Works quite good.

Yep ... it's awesome.
Face recognition doesn't always work for me.
Another alternative is to set a delay on the photo. Gives you time to position the camera before the picture is taken. Not sure why HTC have only given two options - 2 secs and 10 secs - though...
Try this works very well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464&highlight=desire

plz help how can i take a picture from volume bottem
Just got this Galaxy, amazing phone and whatnot, and installed wicked rom.
Tried all three camera's (GE, stock, moto) and none seem to auto focus right before a snapshot. It only auto focuses while the camera is active not right before taking it its own and this causes me to take blurry pictures (I have horrible steady hands). Basically it focuses only before I click the snap button I want it to do it automatically after I click it.
My old E4GT however does it and it is one thing I loved about it. It would take a second to capture the picture but it would take it in perfect focus because it would automatically detect it right before the shot after I click the snap button.
Any ideas on how I can add that feature to this phone?

Mine auto focus after I hit the "snap" button. I'm on Infamous S4 V4 ROM so I can't speak for Wicked. It shouldn't be any different IMO. Maybe play around with the settings.
I just hold on to the snap button for about a second and that focuses it really good, and that takes really good quality picture.
The camera on the s4 is not as quick to take sharp pictures as my note 2 other s3. I've just learned to tap the screen to focus first before taking a pic. Or I just tap n hold on the screen for a few seconds and once I let go it takes a pic automatically

I'll try that ROM because this is really irritating how my S2 takes better pictures than my S4.
And even stock rom auto focus before you hit the snap not after which is really weird.

I believe I've noticed that if you hold the camera directed towards the focus of your shot for say, 5 to 7 seconds, although delayed, it will adjust by auto-focusing SLIGHTLY. Not as good as just tap on the area of the screen that you want focused.

He is saying he wants it to re-focus AFTER the shutter button is pressed before it actually captures the photo. So the process would go like this:
1. Camera opens
2. Point at subject
3. Auto focus on subject to frame the shot
4. Press shutter button
5. Re-focus
6. Capture image
Plenty of cameras out there do this, and as pointed out, ours do it when the flash is on. They will vary the amount of light from the flash and lens focus simultaneously to capture the best picture quality.
I don't see why it doesn't do this either, my old HTC did the re-focus after the shutter button thing and you get much more clear photos. I sometimes have to try a couple times doing close up shots of things like text on identification tags (so I don't have to write numbers down) with my phone myself, and I have "normal" steadiness hands.

Okay, you want it to focus once, then after its already focused, focus again? Really? Thats kind of defeating the point. You already have focus on the subject why would you need focus on it again? That makes taking pictures much longer a process. However, if it doesn't have focus already, and you press the shutter button, then it takes focus again. But i have no issues taking crystal clear pics unless i accidentally move while its snapping the pic. But the way it focuses now is normal and how it should be. Focusing twice is really pointless..
The OP was asking, not me, and he said he has shaky hands which is why he misses this feature. It only takes a fraction of a second for the camera to do anyway. A lot of phone cameras do this already and you don't notice it. Heck, most hand held digital cameras focus before capturing the image AFTER you press the shutter button.

Lol i wasn't trying to point fingers or anything lol. I am just extremely confused, if my phone doesn't have focus and i press the shutter button, it focuses then takes the pic. but if it does auto focus before i press the shutter button, and i move then immediately press the shutter button, it will refocus.. so i am extremely confused as to what the OP wants..
isn't this marketed as a "feature" called zero shutter lag? I use procapture the majority of the time and it focuses after clicking the shutter.

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.

In situations with plenty of light (and with HDR off and same stationary focal point) I can also take subsequent images at the same speed as on the shown video.
If the camera needs to refocus (objects moves around or you moved the camera) or when there is less light the speed, naturally, is much slower.

Hi all,
S20 Ultra here, have taken plenty of great shots with my camera, the quick updates since launch have fixed most issues people had at launch with the cameras but something that occasionally bugs me is a delay in capturing a photo after pressing the button, resulting in missing the shot.
Typical scenario - taking a photo of my kids , they move a lot so you dont have long to get a shot, I pull the the phone out, line up the shot and press the button and nothing, 1 second, maybe 2 and it takes the shot and its not the shot you wanted.
It certainly isnt all the time, sometimes the shot is pretty much instant, I am beginning to suspect its related to the auto focus, the phone doesn't focus quick enough or maybe doesn't think its focused (often it looks fine on screen) so wont take the shot quickly when you need it to.
Any ideas?

Yea it is the autofocus, gonna need to wait it out for updates, you can speed it up by disabling the AI like scene optimiser, HDR, shot suggestions, and any filters you have enabled from the top right icon above the view finder, mostly the selfie cam is having the worst issues with around a 5 second delay if there is a face in view at arms length, especially with a bright light behind you like a window
