This is an extremely annoying problem. It takes my pro about 4-5 seconds to auto adjust then another 1 or 2 secs to take the pic, by the time u actually get to take the pic you more than likely have move your hand. How can we disable or increase the reaction time of the auto focus for the camera?

The delay to take a pic is a setting you can adjust with the advanced config or diamond tweak programs..
autofocus.. can't help there
Requires editing the .Exe, that is where the function resource is.

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!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Hey everyone I just wanted to know if anyone has any optimal camera tweaks and settings. While my settings are better than they were with the ATT stock rom, i still want better. How come I cant zoom in 2MP or 3MP and only in 1MP or worse? Also what are the settings to take pictures without much light ( i know the kaiser doesnt have a flash)? Why does the camera still take a long time to take a picture despite me doing this registry hack and turning the camera sound off?
I personally did this>
wo DWORD values are in HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Captparam. They are, CapKeyDelayTime and EnableCapKeyDelay.
To disable delay of picture being taken, change CapKeyDelayTime to 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay to 0.
CapKeyDelayTime is in milliseconds, so 2500 is 2.5 seconds. Change to your heart's content.
EnableCapKeyDelay is if you want to disable/enable the CapKeyDelayTime without changing its value. Disable/enable at your leisure.
Also of note is the CaptureTimer DWORD, which can be altered to increase or decrease the time the camera waits for timer pictures.
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!
Hi,
My camera takes a while before it captures a picture and by the time it takes the picture, I miss the shot.
It takes like 5-10 sec after it stops focusing to snap the picture.
Is there a way to speed up the time between when I press the capture button and when the actual image is taken?

Thanks.
Try miui camera in the themes and apps section or try camera 360. Check out the apps that will help thread in that section, i just told someone how they can speed up their phone, check your settings with what i told that guy to do, it will probably help.
I like the MIUI camera. Raise your min CPU setting to 352MHz I think that's what he was saying.
Hi everyone,
I just purchased a Nokia 7 plus and I can't find any way of setting a minimum shutter speed. If I go into pro mode and set shutter speed to 1/125 all my low light pics are great with no blur but obviously this will make bright daylight shots over exposed.
Is there a way to mod the software to keep everything the same but let me adjust the minumum shutter speed to 1/125? rather than fixed at 1/125
What would be perfect for me would be a setting at 1/125 minimum shutter speed and a slower speed for when using the flash to capture the background (Google - Dragging the shutter). but if not, i'd be happy if I could only have the minimum shutter speed.
I only use the camera for family pics and a lot of those are of my 2 year old boy. I don't really want to mess with settings too much because you have to be quick to capture those special moments.
