hello i've been testing the camera for the nexus and i just cant get fine pictures with it, i dont understand because the video is amanzingly good but the pictures suck, is there an app that resolves this?
You may have problems with focus. By default, on 'quick snaps', the camera seems to just focus to infinity. My recommendation is to hold down the 'shutter' for a bit so that it can pre-focus (turn green) and then it will take a picture. Exposure and focus are much better then.
Thx men

gotta thank you for this, i had no idea that holding down the shutter button caused it to focus.
@neok44, anytime. I'll admit that the sensor on the SGN isn't as good as the iPhone4s but the SGN takes better pictures than my DX (8mp) did. If you don't mind using a camera app until the newer ICS release is out, I really like using Vignette also. Of course, it takes pictures at a much slower clip than the native camera...which is generally what I use unless I'm trying to be 'artistic'.
I really like using a modded version of miui camera version 17. Search xda for it, look for the "fixed 2"version by mongoose helix. Takes nice pics, auto focuses ok, quick.

As a lot of you know, I'm very dissatisfied with the nexus camera. I've bashed it a lot. Sure, there are times when you can get a decent shot, but it seems like it's very hard with this camera.
I believe the issue is with the zero shutter lag and stock camera app. You see, when you focus on the subject, THE TINIEST MOVEMENT before snapping the picture will cause the subject to come out of focus and make the image look like total crap. This was never present on previous smartphones I've owned; I could always focus, and it would keep the focus before taking the pic even if I moved the phone a little. Not with the nexus, nope.
The result of this problem is out of focus pictures, which in turn (somehow) makes the colors look washed out, which in turn makes the result piss you off. I don't know exactly what it is, but I've narrowed it down to that. It's just very touchy and very hard to keep anything in focus.
And no...I'm not talking about a slower shutter speed where movement DURING the picture will cause a blurry photo. Even with fast shutter speeds, the slightest movement with this camera before or during the shot will cause out of focus subjects.
Now, what I've found is not something that will completely make the nexus seem like a point and shoot camera, but something that will make you feel a little less frustrated. Keep in mind, this is NOT my app, and I am not advertising it for any other reason than it works. I used to be the type of person that hated camera apps besides stock, but nope, not after using the nexus. It's almost needed.
Now here's the thing with this app. You open it (it opens as quick as stock BTW), don't even mess with any of the special effects or anything (unless you want to of course). Just use it as a stock replacement. Now here's the good part....
Once you have the app open, all you do is tap anywhere on the screen and it will focus in on where you tapped and automatically take the picture. What does this mean? No having to tap to focus and THEN move over and his the shutter button like on stock. This reduces the amount of movement after focusing and before the picture is taken.
Now, if you don't want to tap to focus, simply hit the shutter button and it will do an auto focus on the entire picture and then automatically take the picture! No need to press and hold to focus, and then release to take the picture like the stock app. Again, this basically reduces the amount of movement and gets rid of a step, which in turn equals clearer pictures.
On top of that, this app seems to keep it's focus better than the stock app. If you happen to move the phone just after you focus and right before it takes the picture, it does a better job of keeping focus. With the stock app, any movement and your picture is screwed.
In conclusion, this isn't a fix to the sensor (which is considered low quality by some). It just makes your picture taking on the nexus much more easier and enjoyable. Sorry for the long post, but this app has made the camera experience a lot better.
Here is an example I took. My phone was held in the exact same spot for both photos. Touch to focus what used directly on the water bottle label. Notice how the picture from the stock app is blurry (and the kleenex box), and notice how the image from the other app is sharp (even look at the difference on the kleenex box). Open up both pictures, and then keep switching between them and you will see what I mean.
Differences might look minor to some, but the small differences really change the entire quality of the photo. It's a huge difference overall.
Stock app:

Other app:
http://i.imgur.com/CBigb.jpg
Name of app? Camera Zoom FX ($2.99 from the market, worth every penny)
No need to change anything in the app settings, everything comes on auto. I don't even use any of the special effects or anything in the app; I just use it as a replacement for stock.
I hope this post has helped some of you.
Agreed. Also camera 360 (free at the moment on the market) does the same.

To be honest, no. Camera zoom FX is far far superior and I still get blurry photos with 360. It's also not as easy to use as zoom fx.

Stock app picture is not sharp (camera shake).
i believe there is a software issue as well. i remember someone did an EXIF on some of their GNexus and the ISO was at like 1/6000 or something lol. ideally on my dslr i try to go for ISO 80.
I bought Camera Zoom FX when google had that 10 cent deal a few weeks back.
I will have to download and try it. To be honest I never even used it before just bought 90% of apps in case i ever needed it

Exactly my point. You have to be extremely careful and put in a lot of effort to get an in focus picture in the stock app.

Yes. There are times when the difference won't be much noticeable (depends on how careful you were with the stock app), but overall camera fx with so much better.

flipping back and forth, initially you seem to be right, the stock app water bottle is blurrier. but, watch the wall in the background...its sharper in the stock app than the 'other app'. this would show stock app not picking the correct focus distance...stock focused farther behind the bottle (i'm sure you tapped to select the bottle for focus), other app properly focused on the bottle.
could be software or calibration

Good point. I tapped on both apps directly on the water bottle label.
Camera zoom fx focuses on what it should, while the stock app doesn't.

Camera 360 asks for too many permissions for a simple camera app. Fortunately, I managed to pick up Camera Zoom FX for $0.10 during the 10 day sale last month.

360 does indeed do that, plus it doesn't even work nearly as good as zoom fx. I'd even say 360 isn't an improvement over stock.
zoom fx opens just as fast as stock, yet performs better.

I never really got to try camera 360. As soon as I saw the permission requests, I cancelled the download.
I agree that zoom FX does takes better pictures, but only because it gives you time to steady your hand/the phone AFTER you tap on the screen. As you said in your original post, zero shutter lag is to blame. It takes pictures way TOO fast. Google should add delay settings that you can choose from such as 0(default)/.5s/1s/1.5s before taking the shot. Sure it defeats the purpose of zero shutter lag, but it at least gives us a choice which is what android is all about.
I bought Camera Zoom FX during the Market $0.10 sale. But haven't used it since I upgraded from my Desire to the Galaxy Nexus.
After reading this, I may have to start using it on a regular basis now. So thanks brian85!
IMO I just don't like the fact that I tap the screen to take the picture. I love the fast response, but since touch screen offers no real tactile feedback, its hard to get a "click" feel like you would with a regular camera. I had D1 Droid before this, and its camera is crap in general, bad quality and focus...etc. But it had a dedicated shutter button. Even though its just a switch, a physical button on the periphery is easier to let me hold the camera steady and shoot the picture. I wish there are some mod or in custom ROM that let you map one of the physical button(power, or one of the volumes) to act as the shutter release in the camera app....
You guys do know you can hold the shutter button in the stock camera app to focus and let go to take the picture, right?

i've been using photo editor. has alot of functions, and a simple ui. although all i ever really use it for is conversions and cropping
ProCapture is the best comparison to Camera+ that I've found. For editing and such, I use a combination of Aviary and just standard Photo Editor. The only thing I haven't found is a good polarizer filter to really remove the haze and make the blue skies pop.

I was just having this conversation (with myself) the other day.
I like to take pictures and pre-filter them (very mildly) before posting them on Instagram or other services.
So, the best applications that I have seemed to have found are the following, for mild editing and filter application:
Snaptastic - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcurrent.snaptastic&hl=en
Aviary - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviary.android.feather&hl=en

CameraZOOM FX - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Good luck!
One of the things I REALLY REALLY miss about the iPhone is Camera+! :/
That was the only App I needed on the iPhone, it was so good. The Clarity feature most of the times created a awesome picture, I havent found a single app on android that has a effect like "clarity" on Camera+
Maybe the closest thing is the Beautify effect on "BeFunky", try it, its free, and it has a lot of filters also, I bough the Paid version but it seems to be too different I didnt like it, so I just use that free one...

I am a big camera geek. I have tried just about every camera app on the Android market and I do miss some of the iOS apps. I came from having the iPhone 3, iphone 4 and iphone 4s to switching to the S3.
From all the different apps I have tried here is my opinion of the apps you NEED if you like photography.
1. Perfectly Clear - This app is also on iOS and will adjust a picture automatically. You just load a picture and it will fix the contrast and everything else. While some apps have an auto correct feature, this one blows them out of the water.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h.perfectlyclear&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
2. Magic Hour - It's like InstaGram on crack. Whereas most filter apps come with a preset amount of filters Magic Hour lets you download filters for free or create your own for free to use later. You can get thousands upon thousands of filters. Everything from the subtle to the crazy overboard ones. You can even "pull" filters from pictures you already put through it in order to use that filter on another pic. Great for getting the same look if you did filtered a picture long ago.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwiple.mhm&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
3. TouchRetouch - This app lets you "magically remove" things from pictures. It's pretty crazy how well it works. Photoshop has a tool that works just like this and the fact this works on a mobile device is awesome. You can't erase HUGE things from photos but it can intelligently remove things like power lines, background items and more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advasoft.touchretouch&hl=en
You can try the ones I have in my thread here...there's a ton of fun ones

Agreed. Camera+ was my go-to-app for photo editing and the "clarity" feature was pretty amazing.

I am one of those people that LOVES taking pictures on my phone and I have tried just about every Photo and Panoramic app on the Play Store. I had a iPhone 4 before I switched over to S3 and at the beginning I was scared because I was letting go of some really good photo apps.
Now though, I think I might have found the ones that fit my photography style perfectly.
1: Magic Hour. Think of it as instagram with unlimited filters. It has a "Filter Store" where you can download other filters that people have made using the app. There are THOUSANDS of these. Thankfully you can search by newest, most popular, etc. This is like Instagram on crack. LOVE IT! Also, if you run a photo through Magic Hour and save it, then weeks later you want to run another photo through the same filter but forgot which it was, you can load up the photo you saved and it'll figure out which filter was used and you can throw that on to another picture. You can also mark filters as favorites, etc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwiple.mhm
2: Perfectly Clear. With just one button this app will make your photos look so much better. They had this one on the iPhone as well and I'm glad it carried over. It fixes saturation, contrast, color, brightness and it does it all better than any other app I have found
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.worldiety.athentech.perfectlyclear
3: TouchReTouch. Sometimes you take a great photo and happen to notice after the fact that there is something in the background or powerlines you wish weren't in the photo. With TouchReTouch you just highlight want you want removed from the photo and it smartly removes it. It is a lot like using the smart eraser in Photoshop except you can do it on your phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advasoft.touchretouch
4: AfterFocus. After focus simulates what a DSLR camera can do where the foreground is clear and then the background is blurry (not in focus). You just use your finger and select the foreground, then select the mid ground (optional), then select the background. It will then very realistically blur the background so your picture gets a great DSLR look to it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motionone.afterfocus_pro
Usually I'll take a photo, edit things out of it I don't want with TouchReTouch, then depending on the photo I'll run it through AfterFocus to get the DSLR look and then Perfectly Clear to make it look the best possible. Finally, depending on what I want the photo to look like I'll apply a filter. And if things go ok then I get pictures like this: http://trukatu.com/baby.jpg
As a bonus, I should mention that HDR Camera+ is one of the best HDR apps. Most HDR apps takes 3-4 pictures and combines the brightnesses to make one awesome looking pic. But they all require you to remain almost perfectly still. HDR Camera+ is the only one that takes multiple photos, analyzes the brightnesses and combines that all over the first image only. So even if the subject moves or your hands moves or something, it still looks great.

Hi,
here is a beautiful fast & unique camera app from Moto x,
Action:
•Press the screen to captures picture
•Holding the screen activates the burst mode for capturing multiple pictures.
•Dragging up and down zooms in and out.
•Swiping fingers from left to right brings camera settings, and from right to left takes to the Gallery.
•Another convenient gesture is twisting your wrist twice (quickly) while holding the camera in hand launches camera anytime. It’s a great feature for a smartphone with no dedicated camera button.
Features:
•Single shots
•Burst shots
•Video recording
•Front-facing camera toggle
•Swipe to open settings
•Swipe to open gallery
•Touch to focus toggle
•Flash mode toggle
•Shutter sound toggle
•Geo-tag toggle
The camera app can be installed as a normal APK file. Installing this camera app does not replace the stock camera of your device and having installed it, you’ll see two different shortcuts in your app drawer.

Good one, but what does the SLO mode do? It seems locked for me. I can't use it. Anyone has an Idea.?
Few others I've used
Have been using many camera apps currently. All have some or the other feature which I like. I use according to my purpose.
1. Camera Zoom FX: Using it for its Voice Activated feature and its Collage feature. Voice activated mode will click only when you make a noise or say click or cheeze etc. You can use it when you click your own pics or wanna have a group pic.
Use collage mode and click multiple pics and you'll get all of them in single pic. That's way quicker then click normal pics and then use collage.
It also has a stable indicator that indicates when the object or the phone is stable to click the pic.
2. Pro Capture: For providing many various Focus and Scene modes in one touch, especially the Macro mode and the Fibonacci Spiral is also one of the best feature it gives. The golden Spiral does make sense in pictures, I personally believe.
3. Fast Burst Camera: Name says it all. Soon I'm gonna check the Moto X for its continuous shots and if the result is better I might replace. But this app is quick good. It clicks like a machine gun. Some times even if I try to click it ones it quickly response to the second touch and takes another shot . Sorry that might be a negative point as well
4. Camera 2: This app is real fun if you like to take pictures and video like that of Old time (1940s, 1960s, etc), It has Sci-Fi mode similar to Green coloured Matrix like of stuff with number falling down in a line. Comic mode, Artistic mode. Best part of the app is that you cannot just click pictures but also take videos in those modes.
Well I used many others too but removed them for less or more their limited features.
I hope this might help you in any way. :good:

The pro mode has shutter speed, ISO extension to 50 (!) and a white balance mode with a slider in degrees Kelvin.
I've gotten some crazy pics with this thing, nothing comes close in a phone. Period!
Manual shutter speeds go down to TEN SECONDS! Obviously you cannot hold it, but wow.
If you're a photography geek, go ahead and give it a whirl.

These samples are right from the phone, no editing whatsoever. Original JPG images right from phone. All taken in full manual mode. The cicada one (bug on tree branch) was actually taken during the day, I increased the shutter speed very high and used the flash at close range.
Even in Auto, the camera is fantastic. And being able to double-click the home button to open the camera anytime, is priceless. Big, BIG fan of this phone and the camera. Just counting down the days (years?) until we can record 4K at 60fps

And since we're making a wish list 960+ fps at 720P or greater would be nice too.
Even a 4000FPS mode at 320x200.
The camera in auto is very similar to the S6/S6 Edge. On those in auto using 100ISO outdoors I was still having exposure issues.
With the 6E+ and shutter control this is eliminated.
No need for a point and shoot.
I feel confident my Sony RX100 will even see a lot less use now.
