Photo taking problem

Hi,
Does anyone has the same behaviour :
I am selected as "touch and press" to take a photo.
The first time it works, but for the second shot, I ve to press totally to take a picture. Same for the third ...
If I close the photo device and reopen it, it works again the fist shot, and not after.
It 's very embarrassing, because when you press totally, the picture is taken automatically when focus is OK, but not when you want.

I have completely the opposite. I touch the first time and nothing until I full press, then every time after that I can touch and it focusses.
It's weird and crappy.

I have Touch and Press selected and if you touch (keypad lights up so I know I touched) nothign happens. You have to press and then of course if focuses and then takes the picture for you.
Touch and Press is very useful in order to focus first and then frame your shot before pressing to capture.
Not working. all the modes seem to be the same AFAIK.

On mine, it seems also that every mode finally lead to "press ttotally" that autfocus then shot

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've gott exacly the same on my Diamond...

Same Problem here, sometimes AF works or not.
even keeping the Finger on the touch button (hoping for AF to activate) seems to trigger digital zoom instead (without sliding the finger)
Any Solution yet?

HTC Touch Diamond GER (Stock ROM)

Same thing happens on my device. Touch and Press works on first shot, then the following shots require Full Press. Quite an annoying problem.

Autofocus function after touching the button

Hi, I have just one quastion, why diamond focus picture only few times after launching the camera? I mean, if I launch the camera, and touch the touch-sensitive button, it focus the picture withount taking the picture. But after about 3 times, phone dont focus pictures anymore after touching the button. I must restart the phone. Yes, it will focus if a press the button, but it doesent respond to touch anymore. Any ideas please?

Tilt camera lagging?

Is there a better app for the camera, the default one is so slow and bluring/lagging even in minimum hand motions?!
Thanks

not at the moment. It sill lags in dark areas
there is a temporary fix though
1. run the camera app
2. next, press the power button to go into sleep mode. Wait for a few seconds...
3. cover the lens so no light goes through and press the power button again
wait a few seconds and then remove your hand or w/e u used to cover the lens and the camera should run smoothly (but it will be a bit dark)
..

Is there anyway to keep in this mood? I rather it like this!!!

Camera: Recording video with screen turned off?

Hello,
Is it possible to run the camera in the background and record video and turn off the screen while the video is recording?
Or does somebody know an application which can do it?
Thanks

The problem is that when you press the power button it suspends device and doesn't just turn off the screen. There are utilities that can just turn off the screen (which also "locks" the device). I use WKtasks function>Backlight off from ok-button long press and AEBPlus actions screen to do that

Thanks for the tip. I've tried these 2 applications, but they both don't turn off the display when recording. I have also tried to use CoolCamera, but it does'nt work.

I would love to know a solution for this also i use the Qik app and would love if it would run with the screen toggled off or even better in the background.

Autofocus

Hi,
Almost every camera in the world has a halfway-click that focuses, measures the light and then takes the picture when you press the shutter button all the way.
On other phones (iPhone), where there isn't a halfway -setting, this is done by taking the picture when the user releases the button, which gives much greater control over exactly when the picture is taken.
Do you know of any program (camerazoom, snapshotpro etc?) that works this way? The stock camera app doesn't and it's quite detrimental to the quality of pictures you can take.
This means the camera needs to auto focus when I press the trackball button down and then take the picture within a split second when I let go of the button, since it no longer needs to measure light or focus. I would really love this feature.

Hi ,
Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551904 the program I mentioned has this option also .

Thanks! Will check it out!

There is a workaround that i use that is effective on my mT3G. I turn auto focus off. That makes the camera focus at infinity. With these tiny lenses, infinity can start at less than three feet. So anything farther away than that is in focus if you turn off auto focus. I use SnapPhoto Pro to turn off the autofocus.
If you use SnapPhoto Pro autofocus, you touch the screen to focus and let go to take the photo. That works well. It also has a continuous focus feature which works very well but drains the battery.
