Is there any way to tell if a photo was taken with hdr on/off/auto by metadata?
I've a few shots I took over the weekend and the sharpness is quite different between shots but I can't see which is which.

On the Galaxy Nexus, I'm not too happy with the stock camera app. Many a times the camera does a bad job of post processing and the pictures look completely un-natural from the surroundings they were snapped in. Mostly it has to do with indoor photos. However I've found that adjusting the exposure setting in the camera app does help a bit to make the indoor photos a bit better.
Now I want to know if there are any apps out there who automatically do this kind of stuff? More than just setting the exposure, but to get a good image by loading various values from the camera sensors and post-processing? I'm not looking for any FX apps for retro, vignette effects and such. Just an app which snaps better photos than the stock camera?
And if you guys have tried those, could you please post side-by-side photos of the stock and the app for comparison?
I don't care if its FREE or PAID, as long as it snaps photos which will make me smile.
Thanks.
Just wondering can anyone tell me when you can actually use the photo effect?? I have noticed there are times when I took shots, I cant use the duo effect editing???

Ah.....I think I found my answers after googling around.....Here is the answers if anyone is interested:
There are a number of reasons why Duo Effects may not work with your photo:
One or both lens were blocked when you took the photo.
You didn't use the Camera capture mode. You can't use Duo Effects on photos taken in other capture modes.
The photo you're trying to apply the effects to was taken using the front camera.
The scene was not set to Auto.
The flash was not set to off when the photo was taken.
There was not enough ambient light when the photo was taken.
You've zoomed in or the camera may be too close to the subject when the shot was taken.
Duo Effects can't be applied to cropped photos.
Duo Effects can't be applied to the same photo more than once.
Duo modi all the time greyed out
Hi,
i have the same problem all the time the camera says lenses are blocked. But my hand is far away form the two lenses
I've just seen pictures (taken on a g3) of players playing football. When I take pictures of people walking fast they turn out blurred. How do I take pictures of moving subjects? Or should I use a different camera app?
thanks

I am seeing this too. Took a look at the camera settings, but didn't see anything that would address this. I thought the laser-focusing was supposed to make the camera very speedy in taking pictures.
Thoughts?
Laser autofocus makes it speedy to focus. The shutter speed defines if moving subjects are blurry.
The only thing to change on stock camera app is to set HDR to OFF (it's auto by default). Maybe this will help, if it's using HDR on these photos.
Default camera app in burst mode works just fine - press and hold shutter.

Move youre phone in the same direction as the object and take the picture
Also, make sure your outside on a bright day. Put the sun behind you (so that it's shining on your subject).
Any camera will struggle to freeze an object in motion if it's not bright enough.
when I take a photo then view it and zoom in, the photo becomes pixelated and does the same when i viewed it in photoshop never did this on my s4 any suggestions please.....
What settings did u mess with ? Or auto everything?

Any photo is made up of pixels, so when you zoom, you will see those pixels of course, it's expected.
So I'm confused what you mean. Are you saying that when you zoomed into the S4 pictures, you never saw any pixels? That's impossible!
Perhaps it's just different software or tools you happen to be using, maybe you somehow are able to zoom further into the G4 pictures so that you can finally see the pixels, but when you used the S4 you just never got close enough to start seeing the pixels? But trust me, every single digital picture has pixels, you can't avoid it.
Are you using the correct resolution?
You can't really change the G4's photo resolution, at least not using the included Camera app. So it's unlikely the OP is shooting at, say, 2MP rather than 16MP.
But as KingFatty said, every photo will become pixelated if you zoom in far enough, that's just the nature of the beast.
The only "exception" I can think of is if you are using the digital zoom on the G4. It handles this a bit strangely, IMO.
On my last phone, as I recall, it would save digitally-zoomed picture as a lower-resolution file, reflecting what the sensor actually captured.
But with the G4, the picture will still be saved at the normal resolution (5312x2988, if shooting in 16:9). But in reality, if zoomed fully to 8X, it only captured 1/8 of the normal area on the image sensor. It only captured what was at the middle of the image sensor, then it stretched that out, "pretending" it captured 5312x2988. When in reality, what it captured is much lower resolution.
So a digitally-zoomed picture will look much worse than normal, when you zoom in using Photoshop, etc. It'a *already* been digitally zoomed in once, when it was saved. If using the digital zoom, you may as well just take a normal picture, then crop it down later to just what you want, it's the same end result.
This is why I never use digital zoom on anything. Cropping the final picture will always give you a better result than digital zoom since the digital zoom also effectively cancels any image stabilization in use.
How far area you zooming in? If you look at a photo from a DSLR at 100%+ you easily see the pixels and you can see how soft the photo is.

Noticed if I take a ton of shots in one go and switch between video and camera that I will on occasion lose an image. Pain in the rear as this seems to have happened where even the last shot preview shows a taken shot but clicking it shows NO shot saved. Even Google photos app doesn't show the image. Did a dump of DCIM folder and shots are missing. Had this happen now 5 times in the last week. Taken 200 images so far and 5 images just took and showed in preview - SO it's not operator error of shot actually not taken - shot shows in last shot preview but doesn't save. Wondering if the lag on HDR processing is causing a stall on processing and inadvartent loss of image?
Others seeing this at all.
I've noticed lost shots too. Really hating the lag with the camera app and I'm thinking that's the cause.

If you're shooting many shots in HDR+, then yes, you'll likely max out the phone's ability to post-process all of those images. Others have noticed this after taking 3-4 HDR+ photos in succession.
Same issue here. As far as I’m concerned, I think this is a big problem and this should be a PSA/sticky thread until the issue is fixed.
