I was taking a picture on my camera the other day on P and I focused on the subject. When I took the picture, the background was blurred out except for the bottle that I focused on. This is 100% true and if you want proof, I'll put the picture on this thread. I'm not sure if this is the camera being amazing or a new feature that google added
Camera app?
LoL or it might be the natural DoF if you tap focused on the subject.

Well i had a play with my uncle's iPhone along side my THD and the bigest issues was how unresponsive the THD was at the Picture scrolling and Camera response.
Has anyone tried/started to fix the camera Application and HTC Album?? there is a second wait between pictures on scrolling and about 5 seconds on taking a photo.
I'm almost afraid someone will have to do a total rewrite of the phone app to get it to a normal response time from pressing the button to taking a shot. It's rediculous as it is now; the cam is totally worthless for taking anything but still shots of non-moving things like buildings; taking shots of people right now is just ...worthless.
Which sucks
We did 2 shots and a slight movement blurs. the iPhone doesn't but you clearly can see the camera is better quality on the HD.... as to the picture viewer is there anything that can replace it???
picture viewer: well, there's xnview, but I have to say that Album works better, IMO...as long as you realise you zoom in by drawing different size clockwise circles on the pic, zoom out by drawing different sized counter-clockwise circles and pan by touch-and-holding the screen.
I'm looking for camera app that has:
* fast brust picture option
* panorama picture option
* macro
* face detection
* Image Stabilizer (especially while using flash in dark places)
Now I use the default app the comes with SGS3 but I have always blury pictures when I take pictures at night \ in dark places. Panorama pictures also blury.
Any suggestions?
There are other camera apps out there, check Google Play Store under the Apps, Photography section and play around with any app that takes your fancy.
Try to remember that the SGS3 is a camera phone, not a camera. Night shots will be tricky on this phone due to sensor size, led flash and 2.6 f stop.
The stock camera app does all you want apart from good low light stabilization. Image stabilization will not prevent blur in photos. High iso speed and fast shutter will but you will loose image quality.

what about the blury panorama shot?
Camera ZOOM FX has a nice stable shot feature and also burst shot mode, but i doubt it has panorama feature.
Buy "procapture" clearly the best camera atm.also contains most of the features u request
Edit: if u want a really cool, featurerich gallery go for "fish bowl photo gallery",it's free in market
I'd have to say Camera360 or CameraZoomFX. For burst shooting i think you'll have to stick with the stock app.
When the object on focus in camera is near, the camera does a pretty good job blurring the background, but only if the object is very near.
Other than that it won't blur almost anything.
Is there any way or application to control the amount of blur in autofocus?
An example of what I want to achieve is attached.
I don't expect it to be as accurate as that pic but somewhat like that.
Anyone can help?
EDIT: the flower below is a pic I've taken. It is blurred correctly because it is near., while the guy is a pic showing what I want to achieve. If I were to take that pic with my Galaxy Nexus It wouldn't blur the background.

You won't acheive background defocus because of the lens used with the camera photosensor. It is geared for wide angle viewing because the general population takes photos that utilize this focal length. You would need a 50mm+ to get background defocus. With my 300mm set on macro I can completely blur out the background on my Alpha Nex - you will not acheive this with a 20-30mm lens.

This might or might not work, but it is free so worth a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ar.com.moula.zoomcamera&feature=search_result
What you refer to as "you want blur" is just that you would like the focal lenght to be very small, generally that is "unwanted" and a by product of focus on a specific "distance". If you can achieve a decent quality photo with the part you want focused clear, that should generally be enough for a camera phone. Because... its a camera phone.. theres a reason you have cameras with footlong lenses that are worth 2k$.
Ps, if you really want blur, photoshop can do that.
Check this app out! It's really cool and will allow you to do what you are trying to. The results won't be as great as a real camera, but good enough for what you want.
I'm running CM9, and it's been great mostly. Last night I was trying to take some video in a reasonably lit room. Not too bright, not too dark, just a room you'd be sitting in. Well, the preview in the camera app looked good, subject was easily visible, colors looked ok. As soon as I hit record though, it seems to close the iris down or change the exposure to "normal" viewing, which caused the image to become much darker. I'd like to be able to have the camera record with an exposure set at the levels the preview uses. Can someone recommend a video camera app with better controls for that sort of thing? Or tell me how to change the exposure on the video camera mode of the built in app? I didn't see a way to do so.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
When taking selfies on the 3XL using the official app with HDR+ on, after post processing, the picture strethces the bottom and top parts of the image and stretches out faces and things unnaturally. Is there any way to disable this from happening (without disabling post processing)?
Selfies come out really unnatural with this.

This link is essentially what I'm talking about. Some users were able to fix the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the app but that doesn't seem to work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having problems with camera either. Try to open camera app and snap a quick shot with motion photo auto or on. Sometime my tap to snap doesn't even work. I need to tap a second time
