I searched the net and i found some usefull tips about photo capturing and video recording with xperia z underwater. Unlikely with the new xperia zr, in xperia z we dont have a physical button for photo capturing and video recording. But i found out that threre is an app ( camera 360 ) where we can use the volume button to capture photos. But i haven't found something for video capturing. Does anybody knows any other way or app where we can assign volume button for video recording?
ps: sorry for my poor english

You don't need a dedicated button, just start recording before you go into the water???

Ucam pro also allows you to assign volume buttons certain functions... Quite a good app... Not sure if the free version has the feature tho...

Hello,
someone just gave me a nice idea: what about using the volume buttons to control the Camera App? pressing on the smartphone to take a picture can result ina lost of focus, and with that nice camera, it's a shame
if u dont rush for that, cm7's camera app is doing that, so wait for cm7
oh great I'm looking forward CM7, but will it be a porting or a native ROM?

you might confuse the poor guy with the actual zooming in the default camera app. abd_alazeez2002 meant the Camera Zoom FX app, which allows you to map hardware buttons (except for the power button) to camera functions.
I have the Vol down button as my shutter.

I feel that the hardware is not to be blamed here...
The software here is at fault..
The superior auto mode is not so superior in its job(it's ok if you want to capture something real-quick)... But if you want the best from the hardware you'll have to turn to manual controls...(Camera FV-5 is the best app I know for that)
Jpeg compression is just too much here...thus we can see the lack of detail in some photos(macro)
To get the best of the camera,My suggestions are as follows :-
If you like the stock camera app... 1)Turn off superior auto mode... Switch to manual mode
2) set the ISO at 200 (max) for daylight photography,,,,400 for twilight
3) HDR off
4) metering mode set to average
And if you still want better results:
1) install Camera FV-5 (full version support developer )
2) go to settings -> photo encoding settings -> file format -> set it to PNG ( it takes some seriously huge pics (15 mb..)
3) now apply all the manual controls mentioned above
If you think what difference does the above methods do to the quality of the photos... Take a photo with normal method (superior auto) and then manual method... And then compare..

me too, any solutions?
tnx for all!
I like the stock camera because it has both camera and video record buttons available for quick picture capture and quick video recording. It also does the 4k. I've searched and it seems Snap Camera has this option but no 4k recording unfortunately :/
