I notice on the nexus device camera you have to hard press and hold the camera button and wait until the dialer lock into place. its a twisting dialer that goes from left to right from 9pm to 12. There is a green light at 12 o clock. You have to let go of the shutter button when the dialer hit 12 o clock. Simply just slightly tapping the camera shutter button cause the screen to get a lil out of focus but it produces a clear shot also.....try it out.
for better color reproduction in day light use -1 in the iso/ white balance /exposure setting
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics
Thanks man that was very helpful !

in day light hold down the camera shutter button. The dialer should start at 9 oclock. as you hold down on the shutter button the dialer moves to 12 olock when it reaches 12 oclock the dialer turn green. release the camera shutter button at 12 oclock....
The big circle is the dialer
I noticed that i get a better color reproduction with -1 in the camera ios/white balance setting....
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics
Dialer is the Focus Circle !
kinda confusing when you refer dialer as focus circle. By holding the shutter button you're forcing focus to stay locked on.. Just like on any regular camera(PNS,DSLR) Phone Shooters come with continuous auto-focusing which is kinda annoying... always preferred single focus over continuous but then again single focus would be terrible with video..
Nice find :good::good::good::good:
I always do this when taking pics. Even on the s3 I would hold the shutter button til focus locked in instead of just tapping it then focus isn't 100%

so you're saying that exposure compensation menu also controls ISO? like 2 in 1? because ISO it's the other thing which weirdly cannot be adjusted manually as well as metering.
I think Galaxy S line (2-3 and 4) have those for manual adjustment. I can live without ISO adjustment no problem.. anything above 400 looks terrible anyway. But Google Or LG had to put Metering mode for a proper exposure...At least N4 got HDR mode as workaround

Instead of tapping, you can drag the square in the middle to the area you want it to focus on.
Have you tried Camera Advance? Here is the market link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite&feature=search_result There is also a paid versions too. Hope this helps

Can you clarify for me how the "touch to focus" feature differs from the method I mentioned with dragging the square? I've heard a lot of complaints about not being able to "touch to focus" but I figured it was the same.
Same thing but instead of dragging a square you just tap the screen in the area you want it to focus on

Sooo, I've been very disappointed with the camera like most of u... That is until I realized a really awesome feature that dramatically improves quality & speed:
==> hold down the shutter button until u are ready to snap a picture and it will instantly take the pic with great quality. This is a trick I stole from my days of taking pictures with a point & shoot camera!
Hope this helps - I've even tested this in the dark and it works perfect on Auto.

Tip from Moto forum
24. Oct 2, 2011 4:41 PM (in response to scottay)
Re: Camera! Please fix it!
I have some GOOD news about the stock camera, after fussing with it for more than a few hours (and after uninstalling my Vignette app)...
Try this (but don't expect it to take rapid-fire photos - it's stilll a phone camera). The results for me were pretty good, relative to what I was getting before.
In the stock camera options:
Check - store on SD card (not internal storage)
Mode: Choose the "hand" - steady
Move the brightness slider SLIGHTLY to the right (brighter)
Use autoflash only when you definitely want flash. Otherwise, turn it off when there's enough light. The flash tends to wash out colors.
AND most important - I had to learn the hard way - aim at your subject and wait until the white corner square turns into a full square - and then turns green. Most already know you can move the square with your finger to the part of the photo you want the rest of the photo based on. When the box is green, though, the camera has focused and adjusted the exposure to what you are aiming at. THEN, click the photo.
This takes more time than it should, but at least it works. Experiment with other modes besides "auto," which seems to deliver less than mediocre.
I got some pretty impressive results from this combination. Much better, at the least, than my first attempts.

Do you notice the same banding effect on your phone if you use Gallery or browse the net? In low light conditions the striped effect has been reported by many other Note users - search for "banding" and you'll see what I mean
I do notice the effect but only when in low light - if the screen is set to higher brightness the banding effect goes away. So maybe it is not camera related but more to do with the screen?

Okay, I'll read up on banding later on. I tried turning up the brightness on full and took a test shot and still, there were those lines. I kind of noticed that this banding happens more for whites than low lighting conditions.
Thanks by the way!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Simple test would also be to transfer the photo to your PC and see if it shows banding there? (I am probably wrong but assuming you used screenshot feature of Note to take screen captures?)
PS - don't just say it - hit the Thanks button
Sorry I'm new here. there you go.
Anyway I'm not yet home so have no access yet to my PC. Got to chat and show what's wrong with a photographer friend. he told me that this is a common problem due to the fluorescent light. True enough,I tried some low light shots under a different light bulb and no banding. I was quite convinced and so I'll continue trying to do tests.

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 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)

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 .

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

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 .

When i set iso to 200, for example, it looks like all ok, as picture goes darker, but when I take picture, it goes brighter as iso is set above 800-1000 or exposure goes to max and saves like this... and then it goes back darker on the screen... Wtf?
When I setting iso in settings to 200, I want it to capture with that iso...
No hdr or flash is enabled...
Is this the known issue and there is a fix for that? Or maybe some suggestions?
Or its just me with this issue?

No hdr or flash is enabled...
Is this the known issue and there is a fix for that? Or maybe some suggestions?
Or its just me with this issue?
Thanks!

What you are experiencing is that the viewer doesn't display the image with the iso that you have selected that's why it's all dark.
But when you press the shutter it takes the picture with the right iso.

Yup. If you manually set ISO to 100 in low light, and take a pic. (ignoring the viewer) you will get a reasonable result :thumbup:

You are in a Sony Xperia Z thread, so very likely to be one of those
If your fixed ISO is dark then, your metering is up the wack or the exposure is too short for the light in the sceen

Exactly as stated here, the same issue happens on most cameras LCD's in low light shots.

Looks like it, the picture on the screen is too dark... is there any workaround for this ?
Its almost nothing visible on the screen if iso is low, i just want to see what im going to picture, before i take a photo....

Did you try turning off HDR?

Hdr is not a problem here, and it is not turned on...
Problem is if in normal mode and iso set to 100 or 200 for example, in the mid light condition you almost dont see anything on the viewfinder, the picture is too dark, but if you take a photo it comes out bright and all is visible on it...

I know, but hdr makes a difference in the viewfinder when iso is set low.
