Hello.
How can I quit the autofocus from the camera?.
I want to make a photography and when I push the button, my dog isn't in the place. Because it's so slowly to make a photo.
Can I touch the registry and change this for make the camera more fast?.
Thanks.
I doubt you can. The lens wasn't made for fixed focus... at best you could fix it at infinity but that's not going to help with indoor dog shots...

You do realize it focuses on the half press of the button, right? This is standard problem with all autofocus cameras, and the only real solution is to pre-focus by pressing button halfway, then depressing fully when your subject is in place and composed the way you want it.
Good luck!

Hi all,
i wonder if there's any possible way to snap the photo faster ....coz it's always blurred.
mine was always blurred because i was holding the "shutter" button too long. a quick press and hold the camera still for a sec and the pictures should improve. of course wait for the green auto focus brackets before you shoot.

Also ensure no finger marks on the lens window inside and out - it makes an incredible difference.

Hi
Been searching for a way to disable the auto exposure feature when the camera is used in dark scenes. Any registry mod to turn this off?
Sorry if it's been posted before, but I've searched this forum for shutter, exposure etc and have not found any reference to it.
I know the Diamond camera quality is terrible, but would be nice to trade blur pictures with dark but sharp pictures.
Actually diamond camera isn't terrible. It's just bad when doing photos in the dark, like every camera without flash.
it would be worthwhile to have a fixed focus as an option...similar to the landscape modes in digital cams where u just point n click without focusing
of course, the focusing works great in the diamond...but sometimes u might want to take a pic very quickly without waiting for the focus to kick in
also in situations where u want the background and foreground to be equally focused
not sure if there's any reg tweak for this
Is there a tweak for quicker exposure? Everytime i try to take a pic of my baby its always blurred or she's looking the other way by the time its taken the pic!

Do as i do, remove the sound of the shutter, take the picture and only say after
"Get ready ... 1...2...3! ok"
"ah.. but i wasnt ready..!?"
"Its good believe me "
IN advanced config you can set shutter to 0 seconds?
maybe this will help

anyone working on a fixed focus??
someone try this please!
Better Quality
Hi, To improve the quality on my phone i removed the back cover and popped the plastic cover on the back case. Wooow the quality is fantastic after that.
Only downsize is you have to be careful in cleaning the lens. A bit of a clean from your shirt or top does the trick
if there is slight movement the pictures and film is blurry. any fix for this?

on the dia100 you can remove the plastic lens on the battery cover. makes a good difference, but doesn't help with movement. i would like to know if you can adjust the shutter speed. i know nothing of how cameras work, but assume that would help with streaking/blur.
That's the kicker! If we can adjust shutter speed then all would be fixed. I own a few SLR and DSLR cameras and shutter speed changes everything, you can even make ghost pictures! could some one write a cab file for this? I am no programmer.
If you reduce the shutter speed then the picture will be too dark.... it stays open that long for a reason.
If you use the camera in daylight its 'fine' its becasue the apature/lens is soo small it cant get enough light... hence it has to stay open longer.
Try changing the settings (white balance) to see if that helps you.
If you use advanced config to get rid of all of the lag before the photo is taken and change the settings within the cameras white balance to something better (the 'light bulb' one works well) it shouldn't be too bad.
I have to say my Diamond camera pictures are superb. I really do like the quality of pictures it takes and I use it a lot. Low light, macro, daylight, it's all good. However, controlling it can be very frustrating at times.
Sometimes I can't get it to respond or take a picture at all. I've used many ROMs and have had the same experience across the board. I'm sure many other Diamond or Touch Pro users have as well. I've found the problem to be that dang circle smart touch ring. It sounds useful to use with the camera but IMHO it only causes more problems than good. Initially I had my camera shoot option set to "Touch and press". I thought I would like to be able to focus first then click the action button after. Like my regular point and shoot. Well, it works some of the time. A lot of times it hangs up or freezes OR... It starts zooming in or out because I accidentally touch the ring.
So with that said, I have since forced my camera to work like the old days. Click of the action button only. I set my shooting option to "Full Press". It still will auto focus on it's own before the shot and then take the picture automatically. I've had no problems with this. It works great even with macro shots. But there is a second step I had to do which is actually more important I think. That is disabling the ring within the camera. To do that go into the the Registry Key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\Camera
Back this key up then proceed to delete everything in it. That will disable the smart touch ring from working within the camera. It still works everywhere else though. I don't see the need to zoom when taking the pic since it's digital zoom anyway. I can zoom on it in the Album afterward. You can still zoom if you want just by pressing the screen and touching it though.
Now my camera has been working like a charm without any hang ups, freezes or accidental zooming. Also when I press the screen to bring up the menu or hit the X it opens up every time too. Now when I reach for my Diamond camera to take a picture I'm much more confident that it will work on demand every time.
Much better for me and maybe you.
Thanks for the tip! I haven't taken the plunge on registry editing yet, but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I decide to. Any chance of releasing the edits as a CAB?
Really shame on HTC for not including this as an option. The combo zoom and shoot button is ridiculous.
I removed the entries from HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\Camera as you recommended also set the shoot option to Full Press and now i'm pretty pleased with my HTC Touch Diamond's camera. Thanks for sharing this info with us!
Is there a way/mod to get a real autofocus when we are in photo mode so that we need just one click to take a photo?
I need to first touch the focus point and then touch the shoot button.
Thanks!
The hacked camera.apk seems to do it if you press the power button to take a photo.
where do we find this hacked camera.apk?
while the hacked camera works, I don't think it's the ideal solution. It does allow you to take a picture simply by pressing the power button, but sometimes it doesnt focus correctly and still takes a snapshot, making the resulting picture blurry.
What the OP wanted (I am searching for it too) is some sort of tweak that will allow the camera to auto and correct its focus when you just simply point it at something. When it has focused, you just simply need to press the camera shutter key and BAM, great pics.
