Has anyone had a problem using sequence shot? Anytime I try to use it on Zoe it says "Unable to continue because there are not enough images to process" or it'll say "unable to continue because there is a problem with the selected image"
Is there some trick to make this work?

Use Burst shots... Hold the camera button down and take a series of pictures the open the containing folder of the grouped shots, hit menu and select from the options in there.
Also I think it can detect if there is an object that can actually pull off the effect as well.. If it notices the same frame for all of the shots it obviously can not stich together the object in the frame

theres a video..did you originally try it this way?
http://youtu.be/3g1zOzyBqdA
I tried almost exactly how it's done in that video and it still says there are not images to process. I tried burst mode and it says there's a problem with the selected image. I'm starting to think I might have a defective phone...
I had problems with it at first using zoe mode. You have to time it right and the framing part as mentioned above is correct. The way I got it was frame the shot, and have the subject move into frame then start capturing. Don't move the camera when shooting either.

Thanks, that seemed to work a couple times. I'll have to play with it a little more to see if I can get it to be more consistent
It's going to be one of those features that you will get lucky in Zoe from time to time or specifically know that you want to make a sequence shot and take the photos accordingly.

Yesterday I tried for the first time the samsung photo editor app and I found it great. Possibility to make lasso or magnetic selection work just fine.
Even though I'm praising it, I found that it wasn't that perfect, for instance it's not possible to make a very big zoom of the pic then use the pen on it.
I was wondering if there's a better app out there that can edit pic. I'm not talking abt brightness, color,.... I'm talking abt the possibility to select a part of a pic and then paste it on another background.
Thx

So after having this phone for a day I have discovered some quirks. One of which is when using zoe it takes 20 stills and a 3 second video clip but the stills dissapear somewhere into a black hole as can't find them on the phone.
However when I plug the phone into my desktop they show up where expected in the DCIM folder.
So I thought well what does dropbox do to manage the zoes. Answer NOTHING !
I checked my dropbox and have over 100 zoes in a folder so now I have turned off instant upload as I ser this as a headache to manage my photos.
Let me know if any of you guys have some workarounds for the above two issues.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yeah it's a pain with Dropbox, I don't know how it can be managed.
On the phone, you can just scroll through the Zoe clip and see each individual still, so it's well managed.

This is really a BIG PROBLEM for me!! When i use Zoe feature it spams my dropbox to death...
I have hundreds of pictures which are nearly all the same and i have to delete them manually in dropbox... such a pain!
I know. Stupid HTC !!

I realised that Zoe video only allows 13 contents to be used
Is there any way to select more than 13 contents?

I dont think there is a way....
My question: Is there a way to choose Zoe contents from the WHOLE gallery and not just from the automatically compiled albums based on "locations" or "events"?
I think it's really annoying, because sometimes content is sorted into a location folder, sometimes into another event (where just the date is shown), even if all the pics where taken on the same day. This means that i cant make a combined zoe... At least I dont know how
I know that we can merge the contents from one folder to another..
You may want to to do.. Tedious though..
But to limit to 13 contents is really too little..

Yes Merge and Split options are there and its a good way or organising whole library. It is true that current limitation of 13 pics is low, however it seems the restriction is due to limitation on video time- 30 seconds. The "select content" option is not currently working. Once this option is working, Zoe can be created from any selected 13 pic within an Event.

Yep, it doesn't work. When selecting content it still randomly plays whatever it wants to.
BTW it is intentionally designed to be based on your 'Events', it's meant to be a quick little video montage of your day out or a birthday party that can easily be shared online or emailed/messaged. While it would be nice to have a fully fledged video editing suite it was designed like this for simplicity.
I hope that ZOE's get an upgrade in the future.. would love longer ZOE's and maybe setup the order of appearance...
Or maybe just find out how to make them using a video editor...

Yup.
Any software that creates video the same way as Zoe? I am clueless when it comes to video editing

Was at a Verizon store yesterday played with the X, very nice device, one thing I couldn't locate/figure out, nor could the rep....
how do you change pic/video mp size before taking the pic/video?
Are all the pics taken in 10mp size (or a different default size), or can that be adjusted?
If so, where can Those settings be found?
The standard settings section had the basics, HDR, flash, Geo, tap to focus, slo mo, gesture etc. I just couldn't locate where to change the size of pics and video.
(Btw the X's they had at store were not on kit kat, so I know camera wasn't on latest firmware)
Anyone know?

The settings you found in the app are the only settings there are. They REALLY dumbed down the camera app. I hate how little you can control on it.
I'm coming from a 2.5+ year HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto X is a real neat device.
But I think it's the only phone I know of that you can't preset the size pic/video you'd like.
Kind of strange, considering past dumb phones I had could do this.
Taking pics and video in the highest mp will definitely fill up the phone's memory fast.
Maybe future firmware will allow this, who knows.

I was a little peeved when I found out the picture/video size couldn't be adjusted. I told myself I didn't need all that crap from the S3 so I got the MotoX and then turned out that one small thing would drive me nuts.
Just go find an app in the market. Camera+ is one

Problem is, will 3rd party camera app launch with wrist flick, plus the tap to take pic and keep finger down for multiple is nice, as well as taking pics while recording a video, I don't think these features will work with a 3rp party app.
Motorola X exterior is customizable, they built a whole website for that customizable part, can even add a name to boot, but customize a photo before taking it, oh boy.
And I completely understand they wanted to create a phone that just works for the average Joe, but at the least they could have had maybe a 5mp and 2mp preset under the default 10mp. They can still keep white balance etc.
Plus I think camera would be even faster taking 2mp pics (not that it has to be).
Like mentioned, maybe they'll pick up on this and change in future firmware (which is at least possible to do).

I've been meaning to root my gs5 but I'm wondering if there's any camera mods. Aside from debloating, increased camera performance is really all I need (it usually takes me about 3-5 tries to get a non blurry picture) but I'm worried that once I'm rooted, I can't complain to att and get a new s5 since it might be a hardware problem
Tl;dr anyone found a good camera mod or know someone who is working on one?

i opened a thread about this and have still yet to find a solution... i might have to go back to using a 3rd party app.. CameraZoom+ worked pretty decent for me on my previous s4 and note3.
i have noticed that turning on "Tap to take pic." and tapping the screen to capture the photo has been working decent.

possibly.. i noticed that when the camera snaps the pic and it flashes the white boarders.. that particular moment doesnt seem to be the actual moment that the photo is taken.. so maybe when the screen flashes, we think the photo is taken and move our hands out of instinct ?

Though the nexus camera works great on the nexus line I've noticed on my so when I use it to capture something that is moving like my child there is a delay in capture...the screen will flash with what I thought I got but when I look at the picture it will be a delayed shot often missing what I wanted. The Samsung camera is not alol that bad.

Yeh I don't get it either, I never take blurry photos. See so many complaints on here and other forums and no clue why, my friends S5 doesn't take blurry pics either. I only turned off pic stabilization. I just make sure the the image is in focus before shooting.
Has everyone removed the factory plastic off the lens?
Going in and out of gallery from the camera app is slow. Is it just me?

It takes about 3-4 seconds to go from WITHIN the camera app to view the picture taken.
