I was testing out the FFC on my Telus Galaxy S II and when I take a picture with it, I see the animation and the picture go to the bottom left corner, and then the little preview of the picture becomes flipped. When I tap on the picture to view in the Gallery, the picture itself is mirrored.
Is anybody noticing this? Is there a setting to flip it back?
Thanks!
Lol. I noticed this also. It actually "corrects" the pick. I took a pic and the saved preview pick flipped. But I noticed I had writing in the background. It is fine in the flipped pic but in the main display it's backwards this the flip.

Not exactly sure how to fix this, if it's even possible to fix it. Haha.
I've noticed that every pic I take while holding the phone in portrait mode is sideways. I think Samsung intended for people to hold the phone sideways to take pics, which I find dumb.
That's really odd.. I wonder if there is some sort of photo software for the phone that can be used to flip them back?
You can rotate photos with the built in gallery app, if that's what you mean...

I know you can rotate them in the stock Gallery app, but I wonder if you can flip them on a horizontal axis, if you know what I mean. That way, an "inverted" photo could be flipped right side up.
It works ok, when it flips it corrects it, when using the front camera its like looking in the mirror, like your right hand looks like its ur left hand, but once you take the pic it flips it and fixes it

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?
In dark(No light), My htc 10 shows me white points on screen during zoom in camera mode and video mode).
Fully zoomed in, and take a picture, my picture shows white points. THIS IS SO TERRIBLE. I JUST GOT 2 DAYS.

White points? The grid squares? You can turn those off under the camera settings. Otherwise, I don't see anything wrong in your screenshot.

Looks like you're taking pictures of stars!
Stupid question, have you tried cleaning the camera? ...... Of course you did.
In that case it could be dust on the inside, but how often are you taking pictures of things in the dark with no flash? Does it effect the picture in normal light or in low light with the flash?
Is it just me that can't differentiate the stars from the white spots.
OP, upload an edited version to illustrate what you're referring to.

Haha, that's the problem. I don't think the op was taking a photo of the stars. It just looks as though he is.
I know I heard that night sight isn't available yet, but where is auto focus tracking, top shot, and live lens? Just got my white 128gb Pixel 3 XL and none of those features are present.

They all work on my phone.
Lens, is in More. To be honest, I'm not sure how to get top shot going, nor auto focus tracking in video...
You do the updates...go to camera app and select more?

auto focus tracking is done by tapping a subject on the screen.
night sight already works, check these forums.
top shot: Open camera app in your Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Now take a picture with your device, Now open the picture you took with your Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Swipe up the screen until you see photo details, Now move finger left or right until you see recommended. You can pick the recommended one as the best picture.
Lens is supposed to work in the regular viewfinder for the camera, not as a separate mode. Top Shot does not work. Super res zoom does not work. Anyone know what's up with these features?

Night sight is in a modded camera apk. I know all about that.
Interestingly enough, auto focus tracking only started working in the stock camera AFTER installing the modded camera apk (CameraP3) .
But still no super res zoom or top shot in stock camera on the Pixel 3 XL.

Top shot works. Make sure motion is on (not auto). Like someone mentioned above, after photo is taken view the photo and swipe up, you'll see a bunch of photos taken with the top shot selected.

top shot is those motion photos it's a circle on top it'll say motion off/motion auto/motion on turn it on and when you view the pic swipe up for the details and that's where you fine the different shots

With motion set to on, it works, but isn't anywhere near as intuitive as other videos I've seen. I have to click on the preview, then swipe up, THEN click on recommended shots, then I'm able to check out the top shots. I thought you just swiped up from the viewfinder and it immediately took you to the top shot of the last photo you took.

Yeah, I've seen several videos where they show just that; they take the picture and it's there, they don't leave the camera for the preview or any of that. Some editing going on there I guess. At any rate I had expected to find it in the camera app. Same with adjusting the bokah on portraits, I expected a slider in the camera screen, not having to switch to the preview and then fiddle it from there. In other words some reviews have led me to believe I could do it both during and after taking the photo. IMO opinion thats most def how it should be. Overall the camera app isn't as easy to figure out as with a sammy where you can figure things out just clicking around. I had to do an internet search to find out how to do the top shot.

yup "motion on" is not the same thing as top shot for me.
So where is top shot at

Except it is. Make sure it is on and not auto, take a picture, click on the picture on the bottom right, then swipe up. You'll see a bunch of pictures from left to right (pretty small), you can either click on one, or slide one way. Trust me, it's there. I used it last night.
From what I see, the best quality overall picture is the one you initially see (the clearest + people smiling). However, I selected some different ones because I liked the way my kids looked better in some other shots. Overall, I really dig.
Yeah, we understand it's there, the comment refers to the idea that if you have to resort to an internet search to figure out how to turn on a headline feature in a camera app the camera app GUI needs improvement. Why would I expect I need to turn on a seemingly unrelated setting called "motion on" to turn on top shot which itself has no switch enabling it anywhere in the settings? Not exactly intuitive.

Ah, true. I didn't know until this thread myself. They need to add a button that says top shot I think.
Hello,
sometimes I'll find usefull using the fold in 'stand' mode, semi flexed about 60 degrees, and working with the front display/camera, is this even possible? I can't find any 'mode' to force using the front display instead of the internal one.
Also, it will be usefull to use the front screen camera while using the phone semiflexed, but again, I can't find the way to select this camera while semiflexed and with the internal display in use.
Thank you !
Hello,
I don't know what settings you have but at 60° I still can see the exterior screen here and front camera is matching exterior too. I tested with closed phone, start screen then open at 60°.
Ok at 45° it's switching to internal screen. Not sure what you mean, but you can play with labs settings and flex mode.

Hey ric, you point me out to my problem, If the front screen is 'on' y can open the phone until more or less 60º, i was ttryng the opposite, start with the phone opened, and begin closing it. Thank you!
Regarding the use of the front screen camera while in flex mode and using the inner screen, is this possible?
Wait i don't understand. If you are watching front screen, front camera is working. But I think it's impossible to use internal camera (no sense to do this no?) Try also modes and routines if you want to test actions with folding status

sorry, i didn't explain it right.
I want to use the fold in flex mode, or even unfolded, but be able to switch (inside the camera app) all over the cameras, even the one in the front 6.2 screen
Why don't you turn the Fold 180° and youse the main camara at the Back. Ok, the phone lays on the front display in this case. Put a silk or paper towel under it and it will be fine.

that's the reason, because I don't have anything protecting the front screen, but yes, that's always an option. Anyway, samsung should let us use all the cameras while unfolded.
well, maybe they should. In my opinion the front camara is the least favourite one to use in almost all possible situations. Selfie? Use the main cam unfolded with the front display as preview. Video call? The display cam under main screen does a good job for video calls and the big screen is amazing for that. Semiflex? Use the main cam for things behind the phone, it's amazing for that.
Just don't use the front cam. I mean, ok, if you need a quick mirror to check your face, than it's the quickest cam ready to check. But in other cases i avoid the front cam.
