I was trying to take pics of my animals, and they Constantly move and every time I try to get a cute pic of them, the camera has to focus for almost a second then take the pic.
Is there any setting I missed that will keep a constant focus and not have to re focus before every pic is taken?

Actually you do that with the botton of the camera on Z1, when you try making the pics if you push the botton a little bit it will start focusing and when the cube on display it's green that mean the camera is ready to take pic and you will not have delay in making pictures. I think what you do is click on the botton without get the focus first so the camera have to do it for you and that is why you get a sec of delay.

Hi all,
i wonder if there's any possible way to snap the photo faster ....coz it's always blurred.
mine was always blurred because i was holding the "shutter" button too long. a quick press and hold the camera still for a sec and the pictures should improve. of course wait for the green auto focus brackets before you shoot.

Also ensure no finger marks on the lens window inside and out - it makes an incredible difference.

Hi
Been searching for a way to disable the auto exposure feature when the camera is used in dark scenes. Any registry mod to turn this off?
Sorry if it's been posted before, but I've searched this forum for shutter, exposure etc and have not found any reference to it.
I know the Diamond camera quality is terrible, but would be nice to trade blur pictures with dark but sharp pictures.
Actually diamond camera isn't terrible. It's just bad when doing photos in the dark, like every camera without flash.
it would be worthwhile to have a fixed focus as an option...similar to the landscape modes in digital cams where u just point n click without focusing
of course, the focusing works great in the diamond...but sometimes u might want to take a pic very quickly without waiting for the focus to kick in
also in situations where u want the background and foreground to be equally focused
not sure if there's any reg tweak for this
Is there a tweak for quicker exposure? Everytime i try to take a pic of my baby its always blurred or she's looking the other way by the time its taken the pic!

Do as i do, remove the sound of the shutter, take the picture and only say after
"Get ready ... 1...2...3! ok"
"ah.. but i wasnt ready..!?"
"Its good believe me "
IN advanced config you can set shutter to 0 seconds?
maybe this will help

anyone working on a fixed focus??
someone try this please!
Better Quality
Hi, To improve the quality on my phone i removed the back cover and popped the plastic cover on the back case. Wooow the quality is fantastic after that.
Only downsize is you have to be careful in cleaning the lens. A bit of a clean from your shirt or top does the trick
I know you can take panoramic photo's with the camera on the phone by taking multiple photos..
But is there an app like on the Taylor swift commercial that you just sweep the camera around the room?
Not that I have seen, but why? That feature works perfectly in the camera, you don't really need an app for this.
I'm pretty sure its basically the same thing. The Samsung camera software just gives you a green box to follow and makes a camera sound when you reach it... you're still sweeping from left to right in real time.
Any way to get higher res panorama with the stock camera? The panorama is 640x480 photos stitched together.

The phone does this with the built in app. You can move the phone in a sweeping motion and it will take 8 sequential shots. This can be done in either landscape or portrait mode.
When sweeping the camera a green outline will appear in the area of the next shot to help you properly align the photo. When the outlined area is centered on the screen then the phone automatically captures the next image...wash, rinse, repeat.
I have been using this feature a lot lately since the pictures are gorgeous and it is awesome for group photos. A fun thing I like to do is have someone move along to the next shot and pose so you get a strange clone effect of one person throughout the scene.

Have you tried the action shooting mode? Does a very similar thing.
I too would like to see an app that used higher res images (640x480 really does not cut it)
I would also like to see something that could take 360 degree photos, not just moving the camera left to right but also up and down.
Well that's just the sensor setting, the final resolution will be much greater than that in one direction. Holding the phone vertically will give a nice photo. But I would like a 1080 vertical mode for my dual monitor setup and no black lines.

Yeah, but a panorama that's about 550px tall and has fairly obvious seams makes it less of a big falk that the phone stitched out all by itself. Oh well, if you want it nice you really need a camera with a proper mount, anyway, and preferably raw output, and striving on a computer...

Hi,
My camera takes a while before it captures a picture and by the time it takes the picture, I miss the shot.
It takes like 5-10 sec after it stops focusing to snap the picture.
Is there a way to speed up the time between when I press the capture button and when the actual image is taken?
HeroC CM7 Nightily.
Thanks.
Try miui camera in the themes and apps section or try camera 360. Check out the apps that will help thread in that section, i just told someone how they can speed up their phone, check your settings with what i told that guy to do, it will probably help.
I like the MIUI camera. Raise your min CPU setting to 352MHz I think that's what he was saying.
I tried. I selected 'Shot & more' mode. Then took picture of a moving objects (I tried kids, vehicle etc).
The object was moving from one end of the frame to other. While taking the picture, I hold down the camera button.
Once the button is released, its starts 'processing'. When processing is completed, it displays the photo.
How much ever I try, I get only 'Best photo' and sometimes 'Eraser' options enabled.
Never Drama shot or Panning shot enabled.
Any idea how to get this working?

As someone who posted in the forum linked above, I can tell you the advice you need is there. There are also lots of official guides for the S4 that will help with the S5 as well.

Had a chance to play with it again yesterday.
I was finally able to crack it.
What I was doing wrong: When the subject entered the frame, press the camera icon. Keep holding until subject exited the frame.
What need to be done: When subject enters the frame, tap on the camera icon. Like you do when taking normal picture. Don't hold it.
Camera will display 'Processing....'. I think its taking additional pictures at this time. Hence hold your camera study and don't change the frame.
Once camera completes processing, it will display the image with all options like Drama shot, Panning shot etc enabled.
Attached is my successful attempt from it.

Thanks so freaking much. Moving Subject MUST be in frame FIRST before you TAP ONCE. Do not HOLD or it will take burst shots and only offer "BEST SHOT" feature. Thanks so much i was getting so frustrated
