You could manually focus it and then take pictures but I doubt that you'll be able to take 10 pictures in 5 seconds.

Use "burst" option to make it.
Simple

The stock CM7 camera doesn't have burst mode. At least mine doesn't. Still he's not going to achieve 10 pictures in 5 seconds I think unless the camera doesn't re-focus. But still, even then that'll be hard to do due to the shutter lag.

Shutter speed

Hi, I mostly use my camera for taking pics of my toddler and thus I need a fast shutter whats the best way to achieve this on my XZ without root?
I have found my wifes 18 month old arc s has a faster shutter speed..

Make a picture of the same object/area compare the pictures and tell us if you really need a faster shutter.
The pictures I've seen from the XZ were really really good. Of course there is a lot of noise when you look at the picture in full resolution, but it's not a DSLR.

Toddlers don't stay still for very long so yes faster shutter speed is better. quality is really good that's not a problem.

You need more light or a higher iso speed(more grain).

tried my brothers s4 his shutter speed is faster too...

I know what you mean. Having kids you see why it's great having a smartphone that can take pictures fast and clear.
Yes, I have a dedicated camera but I don't take it everywhere I do my smartphone.
I'm know of apps that can take fast pictures but I think it also depends on if your camera supports it. Good luck. If you find one that helps you should share it in case it helps someone else.

Has anyone tried using burst mode? It seems to make sense that the shutter speed would be faster for that.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I don't know much about cameras apart from how to point and shoot!

the first picture is still very slow I downloaded an app called fast burst camera and it takes pictures quite fast. so the camera is capable just the software is poor.

You need a galaxy nexus, it have zero shutter lag

Shutter lag and shutter speed are different things

I have a feeling the OP means shutter lag.
The Galaxy Nexus isn't particularly fast, they changed it so it auto focuses before taking the photo (which it didn't at launch) because otherwise all you got were blurry pictures. The Nexus 4 auto focuses than the Galaxy Nexus faster and thus takes the picture quicker. The Xperia Z auto focuses the fastest out of the 3.
The Z's camera starts up much much slower.
In terms of shutter speed you could just set a higher iso to force the camera to pick a lower shutter speed?

My XZ has almost zero shutter lag with Cyanogenmod

shutter lag = time between you press "take picture" and time the picture is taken ?
On my old Xperia X10i you culd change the Focus from Macro or Auto to Infinite and shutter lag was nearly Zero.
Same works on Xz if you switch to Burst Mode.

I'm talking about the time between when you press the take picture button to the time it takes it. Xperia arc s,s3 s4 HTC one are ask faster.
so this is quite messed up

That's shutter lag. It's almost instant with Cyanogenmod so the problem on stock rom must be because on Sony's camera app, try a different app.

high speed camera is almost instant but why can't Sony implement it? such an important thing and they've neglected it.

I find if you keep the camera button pressed it will focus the camera and when you release it it will take a picture very quickly.
Interesting never knew this before, still not as good as instantly pressing the button so it takes a pic in half a second but its good enough,

[Q] How to get this camera to make good pictures

Howdy! I've got this phone for 3 days now. One of the main reasons to choose this one, is the camera. It should give stunning pictures, right? Wrong.
I can't for the love of me get even one good picture. Each and every one is either out of focus, distorted in some way, or it looks like there's not enough light (even when the picture is taken outside).
I started out with the automatic mode. What I dislike there, is that it never chooses the max. resolution. Manual mode, I can't get it to make good pictures either; though that might be because of lack of expertise.
Is my device broken? Am I doing something wrong? Help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I'm currently on the newest firmware. I'm running RomAur v3.2. I had the same problem on a different modified stock ROM of the latest firmware build.

I only know for good light condition, you set the ISO to as low as possible and 20mp manual and need a pair of steady hands. I still havent figure out low light condition, some ppl suggest twilight mode.

1. manual mode. the automode is bull****
2. fullsize. you can resize after the shooting^^
3. let the iso as low as possible. remember that the image becomes a little brighter than in the preview. use flash if its dark
i dont have any problems with the camera, even if taking pictures of moving obejcts in dark conditions. just stop shaking your hands and geht the iso lower^^

This is with bad lighting (Sun was shining at the cam), a view from my window. Is this the quality I should expect from this phonecam?
Inside, it's never sharp. There simply seems to be too little light to make sharp pictures. The flash does nearly nothing. The low ISO setting makes it lag very much as well, reducing the screen fps to 3 or something like that. I guess it's difficult for the device to keep up.

Those do look better. Do I understand correctly that I should take a course in photography and buy a an app to get decent pictures out of this thing? I've heard about FV-5 before. Is it that much better than the stock camera app?

there are two apps much better than FV-5
1) Pro Capture: More details. Sharper pictures. aiding grid to get great shots. (but you can't manage ISO level and the max resolution is 8MPX)
2) Camera Zoom FX: Faster focus. More MPX option (18MPX resolution is available)

Then my device is broken. I tested a few shots next to a Galaxy Note 3, and it made much (MUCH) better pictures than my Z1. Tried all kinds of settings, no way to make it right. So mine must be ****. I'm getting it exchanged because of a lazy pixel anyway, but I'm really disappointed in Sony here. I thought they made quality products. :x

Mmm, can you explain me better auto mode? Do you selected a scene? Do you select single focus point or multi point?
Metering? (Can you explain this)
HDR or image stabilizer?
Do you use the hardware button to take pictures or the software one? I noticed that using the hw one after you press focus and then more to shoot produce a little movement that can make your photo bad. Am I the only one that find the camera button too hard?
Thanks a lot!!!!

Could someone post the camera apk from KitKat?

I'm very disappointed with the resolution of the default camera. The images are not sharp, and absolutely terrible in low light. I'm surprised Samsung is getting away with this.
Is the camera software on KitKat better, and could someone post it's apk? Thanks.

Really? This is one of the best cameras out there. You're not gonna get much better unless you get a GS4 Zoom or a Nokia Lumina (the one with a 41 mp camera). You gotta learn how to play with the settings on the app

The OG Note has a much better camera with default settings, in my opinion. What main settings get you good pics on the Note 3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Highest quality, image stabilization on, auto mode. Just play with it, it has iso and exposure settings too. I have taken some really sweet long exposure shots with it propped up on a rock that look like they've been taken with slow exposure film.

Ever tried Camera Zoom FX?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom&hl=en
I'm REALLY fond of it. For me I had a lot of issues with the default Note 3 camera app. Forcecloses, videos that randomly kept the torch on until I rebooted... Camera Zoom FX makes it a lot easier to make great use of the Note 3 camera hardware.

Yeah, but that is only good for up to 8MP processing. I'd rather have the full resolution of what's built in.

Mine goes to 12.8MP (4128x3096). I did notice it didn't do 4k video recording, but I can't find any third-party apps that do that. Does it maybe vary device to device? Might be worth trying out... I know the max MP stated for the Note 3 is 13 but for all I know that's an averages thing. I don't mind losing 0.2MP, since for all I know the full 13 is like I said just raising up.

Entire video made with Note 9 camera

Hi everyone.
I have spent last 4 weeks to make short video using Note 9 exclusively. The idea was to check how far I can get using mobile phone camera only and get result which would be satisfying for YT or even further. Note 9 seemed to me the best for the purpose. To do so, I sent my Note 9 120 meters to the sky attached to the drone, drowned it in a pond and finally travelled around Yorkshire in UK to get some footage. As a result I just published today video on YT and my main interest is to find out if people can really say difference. I have used Davinci Resolve in post production. Colours are changed slightly to make it look “film like”.
I didn't want to make just moving pictures so there is a story. Don't judge me too harsh however.. I am not an actor.
During the process of filming I have learnt a lot about note 9 camera and I believe I could make much better quality video now. It made me sure that it is possible to make quite serious production
with modern mobile phone if one wish to.
I hope everyone enjoy it.

well... I did. The water wasn't my biggest concern though... My biggest concern was when Note was attached to the drone 120 meters above me... This phone is huge... and made a huge resistance in the air... and because delicate suspension I had to construct and use to eliminate vibrations I was in constant fear it will detach from the drone and .... well ... I don't want even consider what would happen...
I am not very big on YT, so do not expect plenty of views but really appreciate your comment. Thanks

I've done a few videos with the Note 9 so far and have found it to be exceptional.
See here: https://youtu.be/k-15LfCyyNg Including use of all slow motion modes as well. (Gets real dramatic around 4 minutes)
My BIGGEST complaint is the algorithm used for choosing either the telephoto lens or if there's not enough light it uses the wide lens with a sensor crop/digital zoom. In great daylight the telephoto looks just as crisp as the wide, but even the slightest bit of darkness, even pointing it directly at a sunset (seen here: https://youtu.be/jmApdV_P6Hk) and it flips over to the wide with a crop ruining the consistency. As most have noted, this same crap happens in "pro" mode as well.
I really wish in at least pro mode, Samsung would let the creator choose. I can mitigate sensor noise, I can't really mitigate lack of resolution.
Very well done on the film above! I'm impressed. Did you use Filmic Pro or the stock camera app and get the anamorphic crop in post?

Very nice videos of yours.
My idea was to make video with camera settings as they are. So I used original camera app at fully automatic. The only changes I have made were in post production
and I used Davinci Resolve 15 for both - adjusting colours and anamorphic crop.
I agree with you that "pro" mode should be fully pro I have not noticed the problem you described though. I need to check it.
My conclusion is that actually whatever we will say about mobile phone's cameras they are so good nowadays that with a bit of effort everyone can make videos like mine or yours ..
