Best X1 Camera Settings - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been playing around with the camera settings as I've realized that the X1 camera usually takes very dark photos indoors. I usually use Sport settings, auto-focus as this is the best picture setting for me. But the picture usually comes out dark.
I've tried Twilight setting, auto-focus, and found out that it's pretty good, clear and bright! However the default for Twilight setting is infinite-focus, which I must admit is very blurry.
Is there any registry or .cabs that can fix this default? It would be the best X1 camera setting: Twilight, auto-focus.
Unless someone has a better alternative?
Edit:
I've played around the registry\HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera but to no avail. Uncertain which one keeps returning the setting to infinite-focus during Twilight after re-opening X1 camera....

something new?
Would like to know the best settings for the x1
i have the R3a update but the framerate in bad light situations sucks

try to use Samsung Omnia Camera to get setting camera good

has someone done that before? is there a thread?

why does no one answer here? so many guys here have the x1...which settings you use for optimal pictures or videos? who tried the omnia camera cab or another one?

probably because not so many people use their x1 anymore. plus it's an old phone, meaning: literally every question has been already answered multiple times.
you can try that omnia-cam, but i doubt it works - different hardware. but try...
apart from that all you can do is play with x1-app, it's better than the htc-app that comes with sense-roms. for lagfree videos it's important that you have a good, fast rom (dynamics, x826). it could also make a difference if you save to main-storage or sdcard (sd being slower than internal memory).

hm the xperia is the phone i daily use so i dont wanne be the testperson^^
is there a thread about this samsung omnia camera-xperia x1?

My suggest:Buy a digital cameral! aha

hoh not funny kim jong il
there must be a solution,maybe in the registry (drivers\Builtin\Camera Sensortype

How to change camera from portrait to landscape

I wonder if there is a way to change my camera from portrait to landscape. Thats all I need. I believe sombody will answer me soon. THX
Uh, just rotate it 90° clockwise or counterclockwise. That seems to do the trick for me...
It doesnt work with this trick. If yes I wouldnt ask for help ;|
Well I sure dont know of a way to do it.
for my own personal intrest why would you want to do that in the first place?
I have a sony camera and that option is not given to me and it cost me as much as my BA, I can't phone with it (BUT DOES IT EVER TAKE BETTER SHOTS).
I just want to see what I am shooting at entire display. It can be cool, what u think
maybe the guys which are working on coolcamera app will make BA version of it and we will have a solution for your problem, but we will have to wait until then
I did a little joke about the question, because the wording was a bit ambiguous. What he wants is to make the image preview show up in fullscreen, in landscape mode. It might be possible with a different camera software, but I think the one used in our roms do not support it. Personally, I am fine with our camera, for me it would be weird to see the picture rotated 90° when taking shots. What I would like to see is a more finger-friendly touch interface for the camera...

Camera not as good as Mogul?

Hi, I am coming from a Mogul and the camera wasn't great, though it did work in a pinch. Now I have a Sprint Diamond which I love, though the camera is so slow that I cannot take a picture or video without blur. I am not trying to complain as the phone suits my needs very well. The question is, can registry edits be made to improve the camera? Maybe speed up the process a bit?
By the way, thanks for this great site! I have learned so much already!

Good question my friend. Well search for the tool called Advance Config. by default ( and i dont know why) the phone is programmed to have a slight delay when you press the action button and when it actually take the pictures.
So install that app and search for the photo options, there you can set the details, activate another options.
Have fun,

hi, i am using beetagg on my x1 it works just fine for me,.. if you get any problems with this app disable realtime mode and switch to foto mode.. then i m able to use macro function of camera etc... works well for small barcodes in magazines, too then http://www.beetagg.com/
ps: was the only barcode reader which worked for me on my x1
Try also www.i-nigma.com
I realyl miss the auto-focus function but QuickMarks program is really messing up the autofocus when you exit.
Hey Glith i suggest you to try beetagg when disabling realtime mode you can use all functions of the normal x1 camera app
Try the barcorama project

Thanks.. Working pretty well. However. Do you know how to change the default focus mode of the camera? It defaults to auto but i want it to default to "point".
Okay, I have this bee crap now and it does just not work. My X1 has no 5 or fire button and in settings I find nothing to select any buttons.
In real mode, the picture is blurry (no autofocus access!) and in shot mode I can focus but nothing afterwards.
It seems this is more a personal tagger and not a barcode reader for articles. I did not find on their website what you can do with a barcode afterwards. (besides tagging your own stuff!)
So what is the procedure to make this really work on a X1?
Thanks
picture is taken with the camera button when you switch to photomode.. but you can use the big fat button under your display in the middle, too
beetagg understands most of the common barcodes

I tried this barcorama with my X1, after quitting the software the camera lens went crazy. It made a strange sound and I had to turn of the power of the phone to make it stop. Also I couldn't make the software to read barcodes.
Same problem with Quickmark barcode reader.
i-nigma didn't make the camera lens crazy but it didn't read barcodes either.
does the beetagg work with regular barcodes?? or just the ones that are shown in the video( in the site)
UPDATE : never mind...i gotta read more..
is there any update on this?
do any of the programs actually work well and do what they should?
thanks
QuickMark works fine... and there are many more out there.

Weird camera issues

Hey all...I have been using the STAXX STYLES 6.5 ROM for awhile now...and I just cannot stand this problem anymore. My camera seems to be wayyy off. When I point it at something, the image shown on the screen is indeed what I am looking at, but when I take a picture, it takes an image of like the upper left hand section of the screen at what looks like max zoom. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is the problem. The reason why I havent simply updated ROM's is because I like this one. Yes I know that that is the first step to getting things like this fixed...but I would really like to stay on this one. Anywho, device info here, thanks for any help.

Is this a new problem or has it existed as long as you've had this ROM? You could try hard-resetting this ROM if you haven't done that already.
No, it has always happened on this ROM...which is why I say I know that it could probobly be fixed by a flash..but I REALLY don't want to. I strayed away from this ROM once, and lets just say I don't wanna do that again. I dunno...ive had a half dozen WinMo devices...and once I get a ROM I really like, I don't ever change it. I updated to the newer STAXX STYLE and everything was moved/different...simply put this has the kernel version that I like, and a visual style that I like aswell. So a fix would be great. As far as I remember, this did not occur on a different ROM. So I do not believe that it is the phone itself.
