I prefer the "Camera zoom FX" App over the stock camera, is there anyway to make the hardware button on the ZR launch it?
also, when "Camera zoom FX" is running, the hw button causes it to focus, but it doesn't actually take a photo.

The program itself must have this option.If not than its not possible to lounch it with the shutter button.
Hw button takes photos for me, its just take a sec longer.

Ah yes, I see you're right.
There's a slight difference in function, with the stock camera, tapping the h/w button focusses and take the picture,
with Camera Zoom FX you need to hold the h/w button down until the photo is taken.
Thanks.

Is there a camera app that allows that? I've tried Camera 360 and FX, no go on either that I could find.
Not sure why you would want to do that. The volume control zooms the camera. Do you want to eliminate that? I find it kind of handy.
I think he has a good point. Pressing the screen to make it snap a pic can cause shaking. Why not put zoom on screen and shutter on volume key? One side of volume should Start the focus and other shutter.

I never use the zoom, really. I'd rather that be on screen, especially since your not going to zoom the second oyu take the picture, like you do with the shutter.

That's brilliant! I like that focus idea.
Even the power button, if possible.

thats what I was thinking. The power button would be fantastic for taking the picture, and keep the volume up/down for zooming, etc
Yeah, someone really needs to make a camera app with the power button as the shutter.
Retro Camera is the only camera app that I've found so far that lets you "repurpose" a button to use for the shutter button. The camera is kinda slow and I don't think it takes normal pics but I like that I can use the volume up button for the shutter instead of tapping on screen. It makes it easier for me to take pics of myself haha.

So since the update the stock camera (for me at least) has been much better. I used to use Camera Zoom FX but i deleted it and use the stock since it's easier to switch between camcorder/still shots and i can actually mute the shutter sound.
But as I was playing with it I randomly noticed that you have to use 6MP to get a full screen shot, vs. with 8MP it's kind of centered in the screen. I also noticed in another thread someone mentioned using the 'ok' button on the keyboard could help force the camera to focus vs. waiting for its slow zoom in/out routine. This kind of sparked my interest to what settings does everyone use to get the best pics? Do you still use 3rd Party Apps? Any tips/tricks you use? It's my main camera since i don't own a separate digital camera so any input is welcome
....you can zoom in and out with the volume control buttons.
hmm nobody?

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.

thx for the correction
Hi guys,
As you know, in camera application we have a setting like in the attachment.
How we can use it ? When I start camera application, it won't capture a photo. What do I have to do for using this option ? In 4.2.2, when I start camera from lock screen, it immediately take a picture. But this option was before 4.2.2. There must be another way to use it.
And can you explain, the differences between "Launch and capture" and "Launch only (still camera)" ?
Thanks...
This function is only for lockscreen,launch and capture will launch the camera and take a photo automatically,but launch only will launch the camera without taking a photo.

The Camera button seems to be tied to the "intelligent auto" mode.
Even when I press the shutter button while I'm in the Whatsapp Camera Mode, the Sony Camera App opens and the Whatsapp Camera Mode vanishes into background without taking a picture.
When phone is rooted, try freezing stock camera app and then try again while you have another app installed. That could work

On non root, simply decativate stock camera app . Install new one from playstore, and the button will open your new app. Sadly with a lockscreen you don't get a fast track to the cam, but you will have to unlock your device prime of shooting pictures.
