depth of field is always good... not a good composition, just to show what OB's camera can do

Camera is not good

I have one LG lu6200
Lu6200's picture is better than P880's.
P880 unable to focus,the focusing blur.
My vision is taiwan v10c.

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus

Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?

I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.

I love it too，i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:

I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo

Stock Camera.

What can I do to speed up the camera launch speed. It takes around 5 seconds to launch which is terrible. And please don't suggest I use a 3rd party app.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Sad to say but theres nothing you can do to fix that,,,,
But there is another way to capture photos fast by just clicking the volume down button even if the acree is turned off. , goto the android development section and look for the tiopic called, ( camera mod fast capture enable)

Or just try to update last firmware.There this problem is solved.

There is currently no fix for this issue, but I'm sure future updates will fix it.
BUT: There is a mod in the mod section that allows you to quickly capture images with volume up

I'm not running the latest firmware and and I'm not sure if the mod will work. A lot if people are reporting the camera app disappearing and that's a risk I'm not willing to take. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Just prompted an update now. Hopefully that's the one.
Can I update with a custom recovery using pc companion? I'm also rooted.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Update: received an update and the camera is much faster at launching now. Not the fastest but definitely an improvement.
However, I lost root and my custom recovery. Oh well. The sacrifice was worth it.

If you use a launcher like Nova you could use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40084488. It gives a bit faster startup, but only in Superior auto.

The update seemed to have improved the camera boot up speed. But thanks for the tip.
I've also realised that the update made my navigation and status bar black by default. =D

Camera focus

Hi . Can someone tell me how close their camera can get to anything before going out of focus . As mine will not get any closer than about 15 cm before getting blurry . I cannot take pictures of any text close up .

Have you tried using the Macro setting from the menu?
EDIT: Yep, looks like you're right... hmmm... If it's just readability you're going for, you can always use the digital zoom slider to zoom in. The text looks fine, but the background's a little (a lot) grainy.

Have tried a few things to make it better. The macro shots I get are useless. Any object is totally out of focus until i move about 20 cm away .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Can anyone else verify this as macro mode is useless to be honest and need to know if it's just mine that is faulty or it is the way the camera is .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

With macro on i can get as close as 45-50mm
John.

It depends on what you're trying to get a picture of. Certain things with certain lighting will be easier/harder for the camera to focus on.
I just tried it for myself. From one angle I couldn't focus very close. Maybe around the distance the OP was saying. From a different angle, with the light bringing out details better, I was able to get much closer. If my first attempt was about 10-15cm, maybe my second attempt got around 5cm

I'll get some examples of how mine is over the weekend and post them . I'm not trying to push the limits of the camera. Just can't even focus on normal size fonts on say a bank statement for example .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

This is how things come out about 20 cm away . I wouldn't say it's much better 30 cm away . Is this normal . ?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

It just doesn't seem to want to focus close up but rest looks ok . Doesn't matter how I take the picture it happens .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Can someone please post some pictures to compare . Would be grateful for some to compare some close ups . Thanks

On mine it is no perfect but looks better:

This has been shooted at 5-6 cm of distance, mine can focus properly.. Someone decompiled camera.apk and the focal length is set to 5cm,over that will not focus ..
Done in artificial light, macro mode

here is a small test I did with my HONE and I'm kinda pissed, 5cm no focus, 6cm no focus, 7cm no focus, 8cm almost focus and then 9cm clear focus all on macro mode.
Perhaps my handset is defective?

Yeah me too, did some tests with real mesurment and when I'm really close I get quite the same results as you Cynikal

I was right about 10-15 cm away . Just over did it a bit saying as far as 30 cm . But have had bad experiences at 20 cm at times .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Depends a lot also on rom
I noticed a important improvment on 4.2.2
The focal distance is 5cm,so is software related,and i can focus from that distance on 4.2.2

I have tried most roms on my phone with not that much difference to be honest . There is no way I can get to 5cm with any useable results . I know this may seem a minor problem but I need to use this for work to take pictures of part numbers . My one x and incredible s used to be able to handle these distances even in low light conditions .

What does this camera icon mean?

I noticed a new camera icon on the stock camera app. Pretty sure it was not there before. When I click on it, it lets me select a number from 0 to 8. I am not able to figure out it's function. I do notice some effect on the photos when I select a high number but I am not sure. I feel that it makes the photos look realistic somehow.
