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

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.

Hello,
It seems that the camera focus made for still opjects, as if I am going to take a picure of friends for example, I have to ask them to stay still for at least 3 seconds!!
What can I do to make it take instant shots as soon as I press the button with no delay of the auto focus..
I emaild HTC, they replied that a representative will look into the matter but they never reply..
Regards
I am not a camera expert but I could explain something for you .
Turn off auto focus just make thing worse. It makes the quality of the picture better. This is why some review websites gave kaiser a thumb up for this auto focus feature.
What you looking for here is shutter speed , not turning off auto focus. The faster the shutter speed, the better pictures you can take ( especially for shaky hand and moving object ). Its so last year that picture of still objects are always better since most of camera out there doesnt have a fast enough shutter speed .
Correct me if I am wrong. I did some good reading about camera on Newegg.com when I was looking to buy a decent camera for my girl .
Check out this thread. You can reduce the time the phone takes between focusing and capturing the image.
Thank you aberz, but the delay is only on the auto focus, its the time that takes [ ] to go from gray [ ] to green [ ]
I have a nokia N95, it has it too, as soon as I click the button, the picture is there with better quality from tytn on the same resolution..

Thank you NotATreoFan, tried it, unfortunately no changes noticed..
The strange thing is that the front camera does not have that delay, it captutures instantly, but of course with very low quality
I will follow up on the thread you mentioned.

Front camera does not have the auto focus feature .
Everybody hope their handset come with auto focus camera, just wondering why you want to disable and give up to use it?
Without auto focus , the picture you take will be a blur photo , especially closer items and object.
don't press the camera button. instead push the middle button on the navigation pad just once. the phone will auto focus and immediately take the pic. it's really working out to be the best way to take the pics.

Imagine that you want to capture a child smile or lough, you wont be able to ask him to stand still..
Imagine that you went to the zoo and wanted to capture the lion yawn, would you dare to ask him to repat it and stand still
Those are real situations I've been throug

Auto focus = better picture . Auto focus need ... time to focus . I think the quality of the camera affect the time of the auto focus.
Anyway, I use half press mode and it take about 2 secs to get a snap, which is close to my 4 years old Sony cybershot W7 . Half press mode also reduce ( or even eliminate ) the vibration of pushing button , which improve the quality.
To achieve an good quality with instant shot for moving object , I think thats the job for the professional camera. However, I would like to see how things turn out for you.
Kaiser camera wasnt rated good anyway.

Thank you aberz, appreciate your concern, I am following up now on the thread NotATreoFan mentioned
For taking better pictures:
1. Hold index finger over camera shutter button
2. Hold thumb over center button on navigation pad
3. Use index finger to half-press and auto focus
4. Use thumb to gently press center button on navigation pad
5. Make sure your lens is clean
6. Try to take the picture in between heart beats. Hard at first but you get used to it.
I used to HATE taking pictures with the tilt, and still carried around my old Sony Ericsson W810i as it's 2mp camera always got the shot I wanted. Took me a while to figure out the above. Hope it helps

Then you should buy a SE K810 with BEST PICTURE instead of kaiser
The Best Picture allow you to shot 9 images at one shoot.

you may want to update the camera software to the latest (search on Navdav) and also add the HTC Album the latest version before trying this again. It works like a charm for me.

Really?? I tried it . It works the same way as pressing the camera button. Still about 2 - 3 secs delay. Tilt camera truly sucks.
the camera needs to auto focus. but this way it does take the snapshot right after it autofocused. indoors, of course, will take longer to autofocus.
since I used this function ALL my pix afre much better.
Listen, nobody says the camera on Tilt is on par with a 10 MP Cybershot.....But the pix it takes in daylight are awesome. maybe you need to clear your lenses, or even crack the cover to remove any obstruction between the internal lens and outside (like I did). THAT really make a difference....
The "touch and press" shooting feature of diamond is great but it wont work after i take a single picture. The "touch" operation is fail to target on the autofocus until i soft reset the device. Anyone experience the same here ?
my rom is 1.37.707.1

I have 2 Diamonds, both same at 1.37.707.1.
1st has the issue above, 2nd which i bought later for my wife is perfectly fine. Touch and press all the time no problem. But to think of it may be the 1st one was registry tweaked, or it could be the hardware issue....
Need some further test to conclude....
i had a similar problem at one point, and had to soft reset a couple of times. it then seemed to work ok again.
Maybe changing ot from touch and press to something else, using it, and then changing it back might help.
Of course, it could just have been i was catching the touch sensitive ring around the button and that was confusing the hell out of the camera.....Damn my fat fingers!
Anyone has a solution for this probleme?

Hi,
I have the same problem with Italian Rom 1.37.408.3
Someone have a solution ?
Thanks
Also got the problem - take one photo with 'touch and press' autofocus then with the next photo I try to take straight away, the 'touch and press' autofocus function stops working.
Then if I don't take a photo for a while, the function returns but then soon after taking another photo, 'touch and press' autofocus stops again.
I have tha same problem.
I find that if i tap the shutter button repeatedly (whithout pressing it) i can get the autofocus to work properly. Sometimes i only need to tap 5 or so times, other times i may have to tap 20 times. (only takes about 3 seconds or so)
lol
I'm getting the same problem and it's been happening out of the box (i.e. before I started tweaking ;-).
The 'tap quickly without pressing' works for me too. Bit of a strange one really.
Btw XDA rocks!!!!
Hi guys,
Anyone managed to solve this problem?
Now we got the capacitive touch button SDK, so perhaps some experts can fix this issue
Is there a function that focuses the camera, so we can map this to some other button instead of relying on the centre button..
Cheers!
I just got the sprint version of the HTC DIAMOND Sunday, and this is my first WM device. Warranty is still good as well.
My problems:
1)
When trying to take photos or videos, the zoom constantly moves in and out regardless of me not pressing a thing (For example, when i open the camera, the zoom constantly moves from 1.0-2.0x all on its on). I don't know if it suppose to do this or not, but i don't think so. The same thing goes for viewing pics and Opera as well, it zooms back and forth without me touching a thing.
2)
Sometimes it seems as if the "end" button or buttons on the right of the center button,doesn't respond well. I try to hold it down to lock my phone, but it takes several tries in order to this. Maybe its just me
3)
Iv'e read that the center button susppose to act like a scrolling mechanism, but i dont think mine does. Has this feature been disabled or something?
Its a nice phone, but i think mine has a couple of bugs. The zoom problem really annoys me, because i cant take pictures with the camera zooming in and out constantly. Please help..
When using opera Or the camera rotate your finger around the center button(stay on the outside of where it raises)
With the end button try to press it on the far bottom right(as far from the center as possible.
I think the center as a scrolling thing has to be enabled

Make sure when you are in the album or camera, your palm isn't covering the scrolling "ring" around the centre button, as this could be causing the zooming problem. If all else fails, hard reset.
Also, for the buttons to the right, make sure you are almost at or close to the edge of the diamond. if you are close to the center button, it may be acting as a "right click" (as the area to the right of the center "scrolling ring" is a "right" button).

thanks for the info, but when i say it zooms without me touching it, i meant that literally. For example, right now im looking at a pic in my phone. The phone is literally just laying on its back while I'm typing this message. Its constantly zooming in and out of the pic in real rapid movements. Could it be the screen protector that came with the phone? (But then again, it only happens when I load the camera/camcorder,search the web, or view pics) I have it on, but i didn't think that would be the cause. Anyone else encounter this problem? Maybe I should just do a hard reset, or maybe return it. IDK
Sorry to hear...
I have the screen protector on that came with the device, and mine is working fine. Try a hard reset, let me know if it works

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?
I had GPS problem since a member posted a fix for GPS fast detection. I tried, and ended up being not working at all.
Second the problem is worse. After taking a video.. randomly this problem popped up.
I can take pictures, but it only shows previews before taking picture when it starts up, then freezes once camera loads.
Screen doesn't show what picture I am taking, but only the frozen picture at the start up of the camera. (IDK how to explain better)
But when you take the picture, it actually takes the photo of what you are trying to take.
On the video on other hand, I can start it. It stays on 0:00 and I cannot press pause nor stop. Only way to get out was pressing home button, but no videos are recorded.
What rom are you using?
Sent from my phone
I had the same problem with the camera and came here to see if I could fix it. While the page was loading on my pc, I rebooted the phone and it took care of the camera freezes
