Tap on focus, disable by default
You need to turn on from camera setting

Is there any dirt on your lense? This may be the cause of the lack of focus

I guess so. But I have already got through out the all settings I think, but I did not see anything looking even a little close to this feature switch. Can you please tell me where to find it? Thanks.

Hmm. This is not a touch focus. It's a take a shot on viewport touch. And it focuses automaticaly on whatever it desides. The touch focuse used to show a yellow square under the finger and didn't make a shot until you press the button.

No. The problem is in app - it behaves differently from what I got used to. Thanks.

Thanks, man. The problem was in the smile detection. I had to disable it to make focus mode be enabled. Thanks everyone.

Photos under fluorescent tube lights

Hey all!
I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. The problem only happens when I take photos in a room that has fluorescent tube lights. I have attached a photo with the issue.
The photo basically has horizontal lines which don't look very attractive

Swift reply! Thanks
I'll try the scene settings next time and see what happens :good:
Set the white balancing setting in the camera to fluorescent instead of auto.

It appears that the frequency in which the fluro flickers is the same as which you phone is sensitive to. Does it show this on the screen while you are composing the shot? If possible to get around it, the most likely options would be to speed up or slow down the shutter speed, you will get this by manually changing the camera modes.
It all depends how the florescent light is being powered. If you use a digital ballast, you won't get the lines.

Camera settings - what is the best?

Hi. I am wondering what settings you all prefer using with the camera.
I am on normal mode, 9 megapixel (16:9).
Does the ppicture quality get a little better with 12megapixel (4:3)? Don't see any difference..
So what settings are you guys on?

We can't tell you our settings, cause it's a secret!
No... it purely depends on the conditions. We can tell you that for example superior mode is the best, wouldn't it be that you want to take a night shot, then Normal mode HDR would be better.
I'd say play with the settings and you decide.
I use normal mode HDR: off most of the times.
Sometimes burst.

I see. Don't see any difference when changing from many different setting. Only noticeable is changing from 9 mp to 12 mp. That is the format size. My eyes are so bad at noticing any difference what so ever.

The 3D Sweep Panorama and the normal Sweep Panorama disappear together Maybe the 3D one is not useful but I think the normal one is quite useful for taking photos like sea view~
How did it disappear? I still have Panaroma under the options where you select the Super Auto, normal, Scene modes etc. I am on .284.
The Seeep Panaroma also has options to select the direction in which you want to Pan. 3D Sweep is missing, But I don't remember seeing it on the SP.

Xperia Z camera mod to manually adjust focus.

Hi all, the thing is that i' m looking for a camera app that would let me manually adjust the focus because auto focus, touch focus wont work, because sometimes i catch the image perfectly but auto focus keeps refocusing, its not hardware related since i get the perfect picture but the next moment autofocus re adjusts it. Please devs think of this.

I've asked this question multiple times, but got no answer.. The feature was available on the Optimus black gingerbread rom.. I think I'll try to download it and extract the apk.. But I doubt it'll work..

Thanks for replies, but I'm looking for true focus control, just like on new Lumia 1020. I have purchased FV-5 Camera but it doesn't provide manual focus control.
Same like my problem...

Alternative camera app

I'm really not liking the camera app Sony has provided for this otherwise spectacular camera. Has anyone else managed to find a better app for this phone?

Does the lossless zoom work with these apps too?

Also I find the auto focus to be very difficult to work it maybe I'm putting my fingers where I'm blocking something?

FX Camera and Camera Zoom FX are different apps...
The Focal Beta does look quite good as well, can't say anything about picture quality yet.
It can be downloaded directly from the playstore!
Perfectly Clear works perfect .
Fotor, once my favourite, crashes on Z1.
Depends on preferences:
Camera FV-5 is pretty advanced and nice
Focal has good potential and looks nice
Procam is working fine...
Wish SuperCamera was working properly, older version does start but the settings don't seem to always do much...
