Camera Settings

So since the update the stock camera (for me at least) has been much better. I used to use Camera Zoom FX but i deleted it and use the stock since it's easier to switch between camcorder/still shots and i can actually mute the shutter sound.
But as I was playing with it I randomly noticed that you have to use 6MP to get a full screen shot, vs. with 8MP it's kind of centered in the screen. I also noticed in another thread someone mentioned using the 'ok' button on the keyboard could help force the camera to focus vs. waiting for its slow zoom in/out routine. This kind of sparked my interest to what settings does everyone use to get the best pics? Do you still use 3rd Party Apps? Any tips/tricks you use? It's my main camera since i don't own a separate digital camera so any input is welcome

....you can zoom in and out with the volume control buttons.

hmm nobody?

awesome man thanks i'll try it out

camera not zoom ????

Hello, tried to zoom in using the camera today but no luck. I assumed the volume buttons would do it but all they did was change the ringer volume.. Nothing in the settings,

Use Camera Zoom FX app. But I think photos will be low quality with zoon

What is purpose of digital zoom? Non. It is just like you zoom photo in Photoshop or any other image editor or viewer...

[Q] missing features from other Samsung Smart cameras

Hi,
I currently have a Samsung WB850F and I'm considering Galaxy Camera as an upgrade to my current smart camera.
However, on the WB850F there are 2 features which I really like and don't wantto miss on the Galaxy Camera.
These are:
1. Action panorama : A moving object in the panorama photos.
2. 3D still and panorama photos :Although it has a single lens, WB850F can take 3D photos.
Has anyone tried these features on GC ? Are they available ?
Is there any 3rd party Android apps which could close this missing features on GC ?
Thx.

no one to answer ?
thx.

I don't see these features in the stock camera app.
I checked quickly and there are a few 3d cameras available on play store.
I'm not even sure what an action panorama is but I'm guessing that one of the panoramic cameras may have it.

thanks for your reply.
action panorama is a panaroma in the background with a moving object in front. The moving person (or object) appears on the photo several times.

I guess it will work with panorama mode on the stock camera then, as it should just stitch together.
The good thing about Android is that you are not limited to what comes in the box. There's always something better out there

[Q] Question before purchase - using zoom in app that doesn't have zoom

Is it possible to use the optical zoom in apps that don't have zoom feature, Like IP Webcam? Can I set the zoom level and then run the app?
What resolution do you get in IP Webcam?

I don't have the Galaxy Camera but I'm 95% sure that it will work because the camera uses optical zoom which is controlled by hardware and not dependent on software because the zoom is controlled by the lens.

Nope it won't work!
The camera initialized with default values and zoom at 1x everytime you use an camera related app.
The 'Hardware-keys' only functioning within the samsung camera app.
Everywhere else the keys works as volume buttons.
