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...

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
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.

Hi,
I've been using Asylum Omni Rom 4.4.2 for a while and I haveve a problem with the camera on video recording. When taking photos, everything is fine with the resolution and aspect ratio. But when I switch to video mode, the view is like its zoomed in 2x or more. It feels like the default zoom level is 2x for this rom. I tried some different camera apps like, Google Camera, Camera Zoom FX and Snap HDR Camera, all was the same with video recording. Google Camera didn't even record and crashed when I started recording immidiately and needed to reboot the device to make it work again. Camera Zoom FX, didn't have a video recording mode anyways, and Snap HDR is the save with zoomed levels. I checked on Instagram video option and it was good with the zoom level and everything was fine.
Stock camera app for JB on n7000 var really good with videos. But all I want to know is is there a way to change the default zoom level for an app, or camera. I even tried the Service Mode to look for it but couldn't find anyrthing related to camera or such.
On video mode, if you zoom in at 10x, the quality is very bad and pixelated. Its like not using the zoom lens, while in dual mode the zoom works fine.
Anyone has noticed this?
I found that using screen recording while using samsung camera app in photo mode makes the field of view wider compared to video. And dynamic range is better also.(forget 4k). But good for social media sharing.. but the only problem is the zoom toggle in the way. Is there any way to remove that toggles.. maybe a modded apk or something???...
I think it's because when the camera is in photo mode, the app uses the whole sensor. This means that it is recording with a resolution of 3000x4000 pixels (3:4 aspect ratio). But when you record 4K, the camera app uses only a portion of the sensor equal to 2160x3840 pixels (16:9 ratio). That is the reason you see a wider view in the photo mode and not in the video mode. The only solution right now, might be to use OpenCamera to record video but you have to select the 3:4 ratio in the video settings. If you do that though, OpenCamera will only film with a resolution of 1440x1080 so the video will not be that sharp. I admit, I would love to see a mod or a toggle from Samsung that lets you record in 3:4 though.
Thanks. But what about the hdr.. i mean i have tested it and the hdr performance with ultrawide camera in screen recording is great compared to normal video capture. Even in low light the screen recording looks way too wider and brighter and had great dynamic range. (I have also tested shoooting in 1:1 in video). Kindly test it out and see it yourself. But don't pixel peep it's obviously less crisp than 4k. But great for social media.
I see what you mean. Video from screen recorder is a bit different from video mode. However I do not know why this happens. I suspect that maybe screen recorder is not able to capture the whole color gamut of the HDR preview.
