Well my phone still works fine an everything, but it seems to me that ever since flashing a gingerbread rom to my phone (and then reverting back to stock roms), the camera app doesnt seem to work properly. When I go to look at the pic within the camera app the picture doesnt rotate at all according to how I hold the camera.
So any ideas for whats causing this would be appreciated.
The stock camera app only supports landscape.

Really? Why wouldn't they show pics taken in portrait in portrait mode?
The miui camera rotates, but otherwise its samsung fault

Just curious if anyone has this problem.
When i turn on the front facing camera, it defaults to Mirror Mode. However when i take it out of Mirror Mode, the image is upside down when held in a portrait position. However when it's held in a landscape mode, the image is fine.
What gives?!?!
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, didn't find anything in search specific to the Incredible S
Yes, same here!!
Also when I use app: Tango to do video call, my video on other devices(tested iphone4 and nexus s) is upside down as well. Tango mentioned it is their bug but since I have the same issue as OP, this may be a bug from HTC's gingerbread.

As we all know, our Droid 3 camera seems to have a problem with blue tinted shots, also taking photos can sometimes take veeeery long. We are all waiting for an update.
I found out, that you can take photos with the "ok" button on the keyboard, especially long-pressing this button forces the camera to focus correctly, this makes it much more easy to take macro-photos.
What do you think?
The first time I tried it I got a FC, but it seems to be a little bit more stable using the OK button. Thanks for the tip!
Good to hear, you're welcome.
Thanks - trick works on XT860 4G (the Canadian variant). I can't get it to focus with long press (still takes a pic), but I guess this is due to continuous autofocus it does (I believe I enabled such thing somewhere in settings).
I wish they had the camera button left on the phone though.. Or maybe since camera takes crappy pics, they decided it is not worth placing button for it

works for me. interesting find. none of the other key combinations do anything, so it must have something to do with button focus in the app. the arrow keys didn't seem to change the focus, so that's a plus.
now if only there were a way to get the app to open faster. i wonder if you can force it into cached memory somehow.
Anyone else having a problem where they take a photo, and then it goes to the upper left to indicate that it was saved, but then when you go to retrieve the photo later its no longer there?
@ jediman
Haven't experienced this, did you change your storage location for the camera to sd card? If you have been doing some adb or plugging into computer the phone might need a restart to get proper access to the card again.

The camera has a poor quality, i am not happy with it. I wish i wouldn't have rooted so quikly, waiting for unroot to return phone. I was happy with my Dinc and might just get the Dinc 2.
You bought the phone for its camera??
I just use camera 360. The blue tint issue doesn't happen with flash like it does with stock camera app. Only thing about camera 360 is no ffc support yet.

as much as i like some of c360's features, there's alot that drives me not to use it. the "widescreen" mode stretches the image, you can't review that last pic taken (that i can tell), there's no video option and it appears at the top of the list in battery usage (92%!).
I've been using Camera ZOOM FX... it seems to take fairly decent photos, and is much faster than the normal camera app that comes with the phone.
I noticed that when I tap to focus it focuses for 2-3 seconds and after that it goes back to unfocused.
I have the latest update and this is somewhat irritating cause I have to take the picture within 2 seconds!
Is there a fix for that?
same here, happens on v10f
Same herd. I have abaut 2-3 sec to take pic.

Aha, so its not just me. I saw there is a camera mod but I did not see anything about this problem in the fixes/update log.
Does a third-party camera app (like lgCamera) fix the problem?
lgCamera isnt that good.
I tried ProCapture and it works perfectly. I am also familiar with the menu of Procapture because its almost identical to the stock app for the HTC Desire.
Only problem is that ProCapture doesnt support HDR, but I guess if I want HDR I'll use the stock app and eventually if they fix the autofocus issue with a patch I'll get back to it.
Cool. Does ProCapture have a time stamp feature?
Nope, it doesnt have time stamp.

Try moving the camera a few inches back
try angle the phone for better lighting
try a higher iso
I discovered a few tricks. Keep your finger on the screen to focus and stay green crosshairs. When you take photo hold the trigger for one second or more. If you do, the picture is taked without blurring!

Why not use your finger to focus, and use your volume button to take a picture. Heck, you can even press and hold the volume button for rapid capture.

I'll try it.
The truth is that the P880 camera is like s*it... as the back speaker. Today I change the original speaker for others but it was worst... I get back to the original.
I tried to change the camera with my GC900 but, the male connector from GC900 is bigger something like 0.5mm, so, nothing to do again...
I start to have enough of this phone... Well I can use it as GPS and to acceed to the internet, in those things its much better than the GC900.
Just hope that the new and already so famous "G" have better camera than this one.
I noticed if i take any picture's in natural light it's so bright it's almost completely white, the screen the exposure setting's do not seem to make any difference to this issue... happens on stock rom.
any idea's... tried doing a restore (with a md5 mistmatch error). (cwm does not seem to do complete back up's properly).
tried using other camera app's also other rom's (ripper rom).
Is it only front camera?

Hey there, my girlfriends Galaxy SIII Mini's Camera causes some strange problems. When she takes a photo, you can never tell how it will be alligned. Even though she tries to compensate by turning the device, the pictures seem to be unpredictably wrong sided. Somethomes upside down, sometimes just turned by 90°. Sometimes they even look like they should! It's totally strange and even using another cam app isn't helping. The UI is even turning with the device how it should be...but you can never tell how it will turn out. She uses stock Android without root or anything and it's always up to date, as far a s samsung allows that.
Any idea what that could be?
Samsung phones do this, they're supposed to be rotated 90 degrees anti clock wise during all pictures and videos, that's why the pics turn etc. Give it a try. Quick pic compensates for the rotated images.
