Gus is there a way to turn off auto focus for the camera? so we can take a quick snap?
during a call when you take a photo, the autofocus is disabled, so there must a be a tweak or ability to do this?
still hoping we get a tweak to have auto lfash too some day ;(

Hi,
is there a way to improve the performance of the camera?
like improve the shuttle speed ? faster reaction time ?
You mean shutter speed? No, at the moment there is nothing you can do to speed it up. Especially when taking pictures where the light is low, the camera switches to night mode automatically, making the shutter speeds extremely slow. EXTREMELY ANNOYING, making the camera COMPLETELY USELESS for indoor shots. I think the way the IDIOTS at HTC were reasoning was that this would be a good alternative to the LED light the old TyTN had.
[sarcasm]This plus the disabled multimedia and 3D acceleration sure makes the TyTN II a device very well suited for business.[/sarcasm]

I have faith that they'll release a software update
Yup, I mean shutter speed. it works greater in the day time only got problem in the night. was opening got a way to solve it
i agree, with a 3 mp camera with af and with a reaction time of a 19th century digital camera dosnt really do much
I don't think we'll have too much luck.
Like a normal camera the shutter needs to be open longer to capture a darker image. Sans a flash, I don't think too much progress will be made when it comes to night/dark images and capture speed.
I would be happy if they fixed the auto focus problem I show here, and allowed night mode to be switched on and off manually.
well we can just hope they come out with someting to solve the problems or make more improvement to it
hI
just received my SGN, and I found that when i try recording there is no autofocus also in settings.
Does anyone have same problem?
Its normal. Auto focus is for camera not for video.
sorry but dont think so, it was in GB if u get camera closer to the object it should focusing
when you said recording your taking a video, right.
yes video and i never heard that autofocus is just for photo camera
Hi, is there any way to disable the pre-focus flash light on the S3 Mini? I'm referring to the feature of the flash light being activated while the camera get focus.
The problem is that the light is too bright and people get blind after being lighted for about 2 seconds while the camera focus.
I can only see 3 settings for the flash: disabled, enabled, automatic
'Disabled' works but, of course, it also disables the flash when actually taking the picture and this is bad on low light conditions.
I don't want to give up the whole flash, just the focus flash light. For me, the best solution would be a setting for "Enable/disable focus light". This way I can decide to turn it off when taking front-facing pictures of people, so the flash light only activates for an instant when actually taking the picture. For taking pictures of objects, the focus light is fine.
Any ideas, suggestions? Thank you.
I think the focus light is required by camera itself in order to make a decision of what object that needs to be focused in low bright environment.

As we all know by now, all camera reviews say our S5 has sub par night shooting. The thing is if we have our default settings on, this is absolutely true. I believe default has ISO on Auto and image stabilization ON. If you notice night shots are blurry as hell and we lose lots of detail even if we hold the phone absolutely still. This is because Auto ISO, I believe, is digitally ramped super high past ISO 800 in order to have a quick shutter speed. This causes less details to be taken in, in trade for brighter night shots.
This is the easiest way to get much better night shots and I wish reviewers tried this in their camera reviews for smartphones. See examples below of:
1. auto image stabilization with auto ISO
2. ISO 800
MUCH BETTER. notice that with auto settings on, it artificially brightens the entire shot, the night sky is forced to be brighter and you notice lots of noise near the horizon. the carnival lights are over exposed and details are not present.
notice the manual ISO shot, the night sky is correctly a pure black, and the lights are not over exposed so it leaves a crisp detail.
TL;DR: deactivate image stabilization so you can manually adjust ISO. Instead of Auto ISO, choose 800 for crisper, more detailed night shots.
next tip in the near future: shooting people in dark lighting

Impressive, that's a nice shot.
not bad
thanks for the tip the delay sucks anyway to get rid of that?
What about during the day, I have it on auto but imagine stabilization off. would 800 iso be fine for the day? Or is there a better setting for the day, I just leave it on auto b/c I don't want deal with remembering to change it back and forth lol.

for the day, auto is fine because there is so much bright light it will automatically be able to keep the iso low like 100-400 and still have a quick shutter. if you want super clear crisp pictures, try ISO 100 but depending on how bright it is, you might get blurry photos because the shutter will have to compensate by being open longer.
if you know the basic relationships between shutter speed and aperture, you'll know that our aperture is only 1 setting. so the only thing we can do to brighten pictures is to have a long shutter time (which is bad bc if you move it will get blurry) or change the ISO speed (higher iso, enables quicker shutter speed but sacrifice details).

the delay isn't actually a delay but its how long the shutter of the camera is open for (taking in enough light to form the picture). Since it's dark and the ISO is at 800 there will be a longer shutter speed. if you listen carefully you will hear 2 noises, one at the beginning, then the delay, then another sound. those two sounds are when the shutter is opening and when it closes back after it has enough light to create a picture.
another way for you to understand this is try iso 100, it will be a longer delay and the picture will come out way too underexposed (darker) because it can't capture enough light while the shutter is open.
however if you have a nice digital camera you can take great night shots with a tripod at low ISO speeds, since you can manually set how long you want the shutter to be open for.

this was at the annual fair in virginia
I have my One since some time and I'm quiet happy with it. Only the HDR camera mode drives me crazy. Maybe some of you have already noticed that once the (stock) camera app is put to HDR mode it increases the overall brightness of the picture. I hate that cause it makes most HDR pictures too bright and I do have to manually find a really bright spot so the camera lowers the brightness again(and then fix ae and af(which is blocking a refocus...)). Now since I'm quiet sure someone already tried to modify the stock camera app(4.4.2 Sense6) I would like to know wether it's possible to lower the brightness or even turn this modification of without completely recompiling the camera app. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
