did u try to take pics with the half press?
The above advice about setting to half press is good. Also remember that the camera has auto focus so the picture is not taken for a second or two AFTER the button is pressed. So keep it steady for a while after taking the picture.
Also the lens cover on the back of the case needs to be spotless. and also clean the lens cover inside the casing near the top of the battery. Cleaning these makes a big difference. Some folk have actually removed the casing filter, but I'm not suggesting you go that far.

The camera button is a two position switch. Some folk find that if you have it set to full press for taking photos the finger press has to be so hard (or deep) that the camera moves just as you are taking the pic.
To change this so you only need a gentle press half way down:
Enter the camera menue. Tap on the spanner/wrench symbol and choose half press in the Shoot Option menu.
It might be an idea if you posted a pic here so we can see just what quality you are getting.

Atached,,,90 % of my pics are like this,
I know that this might sound like a stupid question but did you take off the sticker on the inside of the back battery cover. I know I was taking blurry pictures for a couple of hours and finally noticied there was a tiny sticker on the inside of the battery cover. Just a suggestion.
Adrian
I already removed the casing filter.....
Well, that is badly out of focus! So assuming the lenses are clean and no stickers are in place etc then I would take a picture with the camera sitting on a firm surface. Just to rule out the possibility that it's caused by camera movement. If the pictures are still blurred then I would load up the nadavi camera version. If things remain the same then it is most likely a hardware problem. (As it stands there could be a theoretical software issue with the camera using an excessively long exposure time - something it does a bit anyway, but not as bad as to give the effect you have.)
Mike
It looks like its movement plus it appears that the picture was taken inside and is using the auto lighting.... that can easily slow up the camera.
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..

The strange thing is that the front camera does not have that delay, it captutures instantly, but of course with very low quality

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....
Hi,
Almost every camera in the world has a halfway-click that focuses, measures the light and then takes the picture when you press the shutter button all the way.
On other phones (iPhone), where there isn't a halfway -setting, this is done by taking the picture when the user releases the button, which gives much greater control over exactly when the picture is taken.
Do you know of any program (camerazoom, snapshotpro etc?) that works this way? The stock camera app doesn't and it's quite detrimental to the quality of pictures you can take.
This means the camera needs to auto focus when I press the trackball button down and then take the picture within a split second when I let go of the button, since it no longer needs to measure light or focus. I would really love this feature.
Hi ,
Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551904 the program I mentioned has this option also .
Thanks! Will check it out!
There is a workaround that i use that is effective on my mT3G. I turn auto focus off. That makes the camera focus at infinity. With these tiny lenses, infinity can start at less than three feet. So anything farther away than that is in focus if you turn off auto focus. I use SnapPhoto Pro to turn off the autofocus.
If you use SnapPhoto Pro autofocus, you touch the screen to focus and let go to take the photo. That works well. It also has a continuous focus feature which works very well but drains the battery.
Recently bought the phone off Amazon and started messing with the cameras and noticed i could have my fingers over the top and bottom camera on all modes and zoom one each and it never used them? Did I get a faulty phone or am I using something wrong?

I heard this and think it is true for the P9 too, but I've learned some things since then. There are a lot of modes and resolution combinations. Try the basics first. Top cam is only zoom. Bottom is B&W.
For example, I cannot shoot with finger over zoom lens after choosing 3x zoom in Photo mode and waiting for the zoom lens to kick in (the image stabilises once the zoom lens is active).
I would try with and without AI, with different resolutions and with different modes. I just tried night mode on 10mp and covered the B&W sensor, so maybe it's all a big scam.
Thought the same first but now im sure all of them are working fine .
The phone can only use two cameras at once anyway to my knowledge .
When you zoom in good lighting it will switch to telephoto cam ( top cam ).
When you shoot in bw it will use monochrome .
When the phone tells you to stabilize fot sharpening it will trigger the monochrome sensor too .
I am planning to get a new S10 soon. With the new dedicate night mode update, I have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to use Night mode in bright condition(like during a sunny day)? This because night mode in the Pixel phone provide better quality even in bright condition.
2. Is it possible to force Night mode to use the telephoto camera.
3. Is it possible to force Night mode to use the ultra wide angle camera
Thanks!
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
Except there is no forcing anything as you just selection the options normally on the camera app interface
Also this is a thread for the Q&A section.
2 is apperently in the works as well for ultra wide angle

2 is referring to the 2x optical zoom lens. Night mode already works with the Ultra wide lens.
Can I also ask if the night mode is actually useable? IE does not require super steady hands or long exposure times? For example with the Ultra wide which has a smaller aperture.
What kind of exposure times are usually applied in the dark? I'm talking about in the outdoors, some street lights, artificial lighting etc.
more than usable

Night mode doesn't need super steady hands. A normal non-shaky hand is enough to get an excellent photograph.
Exposure is based on the lighting available. For me, outdoors with street lighting shot has always been around 1/6 th of a second. Again this always depends on the light available for the sensor you are using.
