I never knew the G3 has a fast camera :S? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time i take a picture. Its very fast. But i have to wait a second before i can take another one. A very noticeable delay.
Yet in this new video by danny winget (awesome youtuber) he shows at 8:52 into the video he can take picture after picture with zero delay :S how the hell has he done it?
Anyone else have similar issue?

I know but that's not the point with burst mode there is more noise is the picture.
The point is this review I posted looks like it can take picture after picture no delay, yet i always have a delay between each picture.

my bad forgot to show the video I am on about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0ZOuKBZgZU&list=UUGq7ov9-Xk9fkeQjeeXElkQ

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.

Are you using phone memory or SD card? That would make difference.

Also when writing to SD (my card isn't especially fast) there is no problem making photos in quick succession

What is camera burst and sport? on rhodium 210(tmobile)

Rhodium Settings Tool has switches for the 4 extra camera modes available:
Burst
Sport
Video Share
GPS Tagging
You can also use the attached cab if you just want to enable the 4 all at once. But, the Rhodium Settings Tool is always a great app to have around in general.
Once you've enabled whichever of the extra modes you want, you just choose them in the camera's settings window

Burst is a quick, low-res photo. Sport is less quick, less low-res, but fast for taking shots of "sports" or action shots. With such low MP, it doesn't matter too much, the photo will come out blurry either way.

Camera Button to Volumebar

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...
what did HTC think?
Self-portrait

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

LG Camera takes ages to save the photo and sometimes losses it

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.

Can you try to enable HDR mode on and do it once again ?

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

Well, imagine this, you're taking a photo and suddenly got an email. Right after the picture is taken you switch to email app and the photo gets lost.

You guys saying a god damn NONSENSE.
I believe most of you have upgraded from inferior phones to G3, just because it has top-notch technical specs.
Now you're saying that I have to just idle 3 seconds after taking HDR photo.
This is a god damn NONSENSE.

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

Problem Camera

Hello
I have a problem when I launch the camera app.
If I run the application at night or if my phone is on the table , there is a purple halo that appears half a second.
Is it a person can do the test with the phone on a table and tell me if the same phenomenon appears ? Thank you :good::good:
the video of the phenomenon:

Yes, why is this a problem, I assume it's something to do with the camera adjusting to lack of light.
I made a video on youtube but as I am new to the forum , I can not post it
can finally post the video of the phenomenon:

So? Nothing worth mentioning if you ask me.

delay in capturing a photo galaxy s20 ultra

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
Jaysus!
I thought was just me. It's worst if you try to use the live focus. ¬¬
