No zoom option. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Pinch to zoom. Use two fingers and pinch out to zoom, pinch in to pull back.
You can also go into the camera settings and use the volume buttons to zoom in and out (Open the camera app, hit the cog for settings, tap the three dots to expand the settings, and select "The Volume key" button. From there you can assign the volume keys to zoom, take pictures, or record video).
Thanks for the info.

I saw this cab once but after about 4 hours of searching I can not find it. It is a cab that lets you close the camera directly from the capture screen. If anyone has it can you point me in the right direction?

Is that something that's not present in later WM versions? I'm running 6.1, and I can close the camera right from the capture screen just by hitting the little menu icon (right below the "capture" button on the screen), and when I do that, I get the 3 option icons across the bottom, along with an "X" in the top right for closing the camera app...that doesn't appear for you?

My WM6.5 works the same way.
Here's a tip for anyone who cares...
I personally find hitting the "X" a bit troublesome because you first have to hit the menu icon to bring up the "X".
So, I use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller to map the Back hardware key to "Close active window" whenever the Camera application is active.
All I have to do to exit and close the Camera app is to hit the Back key...

But you have to take pictures with your keyboard extended? Seems inconvenient.

I think he means the back key on the front of the phone, just to the left of the "end" key

As sirphunkee kindly noted above, I meant using the Back button on the face of the device.

I do the same but with a double tap of the end key. Easily my favorite feature of that software. To the OP though, the X shows up on the capture screen about 3-4 seconds after launching the camera (long hold on the PTT button with the RKC, love that software ), which actually closes the software instead of minimizing it like most other programs. At least on NRG roms anyway...
When I am in capture mode I have to push the little icon at the bottom that looks like a usb stick. Then the settings icons, the camera modes and somthing else comes up and then I get the X in the top corner.

Oh my $diety why did I not think of that. THANK YOU
I found this trick in one of the tips and tricks videos on youtube and have not seen it mentioned anywhere else so thought maybe many people didnt know about it, since tips and tricks are posted all the time here and there, and every time there are people who didnt know about it.
This one was one of my favorites of the many thare are..... anyways...
push the home button, or the power button when the screen is off WHILE holding the phone in portrait, then place a finger on the lock screen, NOW rotate the entire phone to landscape and walla, camera
Yep, saw that one on one of those annoying tips that pop up every ½ second when you first start up the phone. There is a bunch of stuff you can do if you go into the motion settings

Or I could just swipe the camera at the bottom on the lock screen...lol. I couldn't get this to work. Maybe I don't have it activated.

You dont have to activate it in motion settings. You cant turn it off. You can remove the camera shortcut on the lock screen and put something usefull there

You do and you can. There's an option for Quick Camera Start under Lock Screen Settings.
By the way, I find that the camera crashes if it's in video mode when I launch it via quick-start rotate gesture. But if it's in still-photo mode, or if I launch it by swiping the lock-screen camera icon instead of by the rotate gesture, then it starts normally.

Doesn't crash for me when I use the gesture when the camera is in video mode. I love the gesture and removed the camera quick launch icon.
I now have to press the camera button to take a photo instead of anywhere on the screen, have I messed a setting up?
Thanks

Hey I'm on ADRHD M8 4.4.4 firmware.
I noticed that whenever I fire up my camera app, I cannot use my nav bar. for example, I can't hit back, can't hit home, can't hit recent apps.. which means I can never move away from camera app when I launch it.
what I do now is to tap the gallery shortcut on the viewfinder, and then hit home from there. which i think is very stupid. is there a fix? i don't wanna download google camera to use instead.
can anyone help?

Just tap or slide up from the bottom of the screen and the navigation bar will appear The camera app uses immersive mode

Hi. Yes I do that.. and the nav bar shows up but I can't hit the Back, Home, or Recent keys at all. they just kinda freeze there, and I have to tap the most recent photo taken to get into the gallery, and then hit Home.
Hi,
Just checking if there is any way we can use the side key double press as a screen capture. Like creating a shortcut to call the default screen capture. Then use that shortcut in the side key settings double press. >> Open app
making screenshot now is a bit difficult because both buttons are now on the left.
Thanks!
