How do you get to camera settings - the other settings?

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

That may be a possible solution... but this seems an absolutely silly omission from the stock camera app (especially the video).

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).

Any root camera mods?

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.

I noticed the tap to take pics does help a bit but that's very strange. Could this be a hardware problem?

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 ?

I have yet to take a blurry picture. I don't understand why so many people are having this problem. The only thing I did was turn off picture stabilization. Well...that and I make sure the image is in focus on the screen before i shoot.

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?

Pretty fast here.

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

Only takes about a second for me. Only got about a few hundred pictures I think.

I have 405 pictures on my external SD card, plus probably around 100 or so on the internal.
Took me about 5 Seconds.

CM11S Drama Mode app

Hi all,
Proud owner of OPO here and I am trying to find a camera app that supports this. Any help?
Thanks guys!

Does that take several pictures then combine them into one picture, like a multi-exposure shot from a film camera? If so, that would be neat. Unfortunately I have not heard of a camera app that will do it, but I would be interested in finding one too.
Google is our friend

Well, if you burstshoot a sequence like the one above, and then have autobackup and AutoAwesome turned on in Google+, then it'll be done for you by G+

This one has the sequence mode you are looking for. It's called A Better Camera and it is in the play store.

Thank you! I've tried it already but the sequence mode is really, really slow.

You know you can adjust that in the settings so that it takes about 8 frames in less than a second right?

I think the camera need direct access to the hardware for this to work fast enough. Android camera api isn't really fast enough. This will come with L were all third party will have the access that the oem has created for them self today.

[FLASHABLE] Snapdragon Camera v2

In less than a decade the cameras in our smartphones have become so advanced that many people choose not to buy traditional cameras at all. Of course, people still want high-quality images. These days nobody wants to settle for less than great. Neither do we.
So Here is the new Snapdragon Camera v2

Are you using moto camera, or another app?

I've been using the stock camera app, but have wondered if I'm missing something better.. I'm not a serious or good photographer by any means. Mainly looking for something simple, that allows save to SD that will take good pictures
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk 2

I use the Moto camera app that was stock on the phone. 2 reasons, first, if I want to take great pictures I use my dslr not a phone. Second, I love the twist of the wrist to start it. Usually if I am using my phone to photograph it is because a quick something is happening or about to happen and I can twist my wrist as I bring it up to my face level and the camera app is open and ready to use. Just my 2 cents.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Exactly, I have the same feelings about moto camera. Also you can record video very quickly (no need to change mode like in other apps). Slow motion video is quite fun too. The only thing that I hate is that it doesn't have built in gallery like for example google cam which leads to delays and bugs.

I'm using HTC Camera and it works well.

Snapdragon camera, which I'm really liking.

I'm using Moto camera but the newer version (camera1) ported from Moto G which adds in a better UI and some manual controls

For pics I use the Google Camera with the HDR+ enabled, it takes great shots when there's a lot of light, Moto camera it's ok, but I rather use Google's. I'm also using Footej (haven't used it that much but so far so good!).
Since I'm rooted I have Xposed, whith the Twisty module I can enable the wrist twist to open any of the cameras I want as default.

For my use of a camera and I have tried many, I really like Open Camera from the Play Store. It offers some of the best options and features without getting all gimmicky.

Using two camera apps, Camera1 from the play store (Motorola's New Camera) for taking pictures and Open Camera for video recording

I have been using "DSLR Camera" from the store for about the last two years. Does everything I want with no fuss.

But don't think it would suit as a system app because there are way to many features

I prefer SnapDragon Camera. I believe you must have a caf kernel in order for it to work correctly.
