This bionic camera in my opinion is terrible. I have done the research...tried multiple third party apps and I can't find something to get clear photos or to where I can tap a specific spot on screen to focus on that specific spot... Any help is appreciated.

Try HDR Camera +
I tried it out and it force closes the gallery every time I take a picture.

Instead of tapping, you can drag the square in the middle to the area you want it to focus on.
Have you tried Camera Advance? Here is the market link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite&feature=search_result There is also a paid versions too. Hope this helps
I tried it out, found out camera 360 has a touch to focus option, seems to be doing good, I miss the HTC camera lol..

Can you clarify for me how the "touch to focus" feature differs from the method I mentioned with dragging the square? I've heard a lot of complaints about not being able to "touch to focus" but I figured it was the same.
Same thing but instead of dragging a square you just tap the screen in the area you want it to focus on

I have tried most camera apps on the market. With the newly released flickr app comes with a camera. This thing is pretty solid. slow but still solid. I prefer this over the blur camera. Mind you it has less option than most camera apps, however they can only improve with later versions.

What's the deal with camera360 only showing half screen? Is there a setting I'm missing that makes it full screen or so I have to buy the full version?

Full version does the same thing to me its not made for qHD is my guess maybe im wrong tho
Hey...figured it out. Download spare parts from the market. Uncheck the "comparability mode" box and that fixes it.

SWEET had this already but didn't know it was ticked, this is awesome much better, but yeah this app is great for our camera, i seem to get great photos and fast focusing
Sooo, I've been very disappointed with the camera like most of u... That is until I realized a really awesome feature that dramatically improves quality & speed:
==> hold down the shutter button until u are ready to snap a picture and it will instantly take the pic with great quality. This is a trick I stole from my days of taking pictures with a point & shoot camera!
Hope this helps - I've even tested this in the dark and it works perfect on Auto.

Tip from Moto forum
24. Oct 2, 2011 4:41 PM (in response to scottay)
Re: Camera! Please fix it!
I have some GOOD news about the stock camera, after fussing with it for more than a few hours (and after uninstalling my Vignette app)...
Try this (but don't expect it to take rapid-fire photos - it's stilll a phone camera). The results for me were pretty good, relative to what I was getting before.
In the stock camera options:
Check - store on SD card (not internal storage)
Mode: Choose the "hand" - steady
Move the brightness slider SLIGHTLY to the right (brighter)
Use autoflash only when you definitely want flash. Otherwise, turn it off when there's enough light. The flash tends to wash out colors.
AND most important - I had to learn the hard way - aim at your subject and wait until the white corner square turns into a full square - and then turns green. Most already know you can move the square with your finger to the part of the photo you want the rest of the photo based on. When the box is green, though, the camera has focused and adjusted the exposure to what you are aiming at. THEN, click the photo.
This takes more time than it should, but at least it works. Experiment with other modes besides "auto," which seems to deliver less than mediocre.
I got some pretty impressive results from this combination. Much better, at the least, than my first attempts.

I simply couldnt stand how poor the picture quality was on my new bionic, so i started exploring ways to make them batter. And im happy to report, I did! I got an application from the market called camera zoom fx, and i promise you, the picture quality is like day and night, so it IS NOT, a hardware issue, its definitely a software issue. you can even change the location it saves the pics to so they save to the camera roll in your gallery just like the stock blur camera app, and you can set it as your default camera. below i have to example pictures i took under low lighting with the flash on. See for yourselves, but since this application has now been rought to everyones attention, i hope we dont have to hear about how ****ty our camera is in all the threads anymore... this is proof the camera isnt bad, the software it uses is... If you have any questions on how to setup the app or anything else, post here or PM me...
A $5 fix
But yes, this is a good app, and definitely proves that it isn't a hardware limitation.

i dont know about aosp, but i know that i couldnt find any 3rd party camcorder apps, and the videos on the stock app look just as horrible as the pics when watching them on the phone, but when theyre hooked up to the tv via hdmi they look really great... audio is a lil too sensitive though, if theres a light breeze it sounds like your in the middle of a frickin tornado.. lol

That's kind of why I'm afraid of touching any camera but the blur one...because often times the camcorder doesn't make use of the noise canceling mics, doesn't do HD quality, and doesn't work with the FFC.
So the camcorder doesn't work on this all, either? Wish I would have known this before the refund period ended

With camera zoom fx I can't video record when I click video take me to the stock camera app
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Camera360 just blows this stock camera away.
I was in a dark room and got 100% focus on items that the stock camera couldn't and wouldn't touch.
Not very stable but I'd rather have great pictures instead of blurry **** quality. I don't have a doubt that the Bionic will gain some attention of the developer and they'll be able to fix the camera sometimes FC..
I spent the first two weeks on trying to get this camera to take a decent picture in low light and the results were never that great. Took one photo with Camera360 and it was a night and day difference.

Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?

In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.
I love it too，i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:
I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

Hi there,
I am fine with the camera, except the panorama mode. Ive seen Panorama modes on Samsung devices. its much better. specially the sphare 360 thingy for nexus 4.
Is there a way we could get that working in xperia z? I saw someone made it up for Motorola...
Thanks.
Sweep panorama works just fine, good detail as well.
It works better in good light, btw.

Photo sphere (360 thing you mentioned from nexus 4) is nexus ONLY. If you want that, buy a nexus. Theres probably an app or would be one day that replicates it.
Coming from a galaxy s 2 I'd say the panorama mode on the XZ absolutely dominates the S2. Can't comment on the successors to the s2 though.

Whatvtypebof answer is that? If i like a software on a phone i should go buy a it? Lol
Its a software smartie, with making a few adjustments, you should be able to run it on not only z, but any phone with android and gravity sensors.
And i had s 2 lte which is a lot different than s2. Its a 1.5 dual core. Z kicks its ass in every aspect, but panaramic mode sucks.
Just the fact that u cant stop when u want is annoying enough, let alone the speed problem...

I see, so it seems that it has been ported around indeed. For a long time every cm dev and his dog have been forever repeating themselves that it is nexus only site to sources or proprietary. I guess something has changed since then, my bad.
I really can't understand what is happening with you and your device to be having such a bad experience with the camera though. My one is far simpler smoother and faster than any phone I've seen using it (Motorola milestone 2, desire HD, s2, EVO 3d and most recently iPhone 5)
My camera did go all crappy in the first week and I had to clear the app data to get it working properly again, maybe it's worth a shot?

16:9 would be nice. Obviously there will be no HDR + which I use mostly... Not sure if they'll do true HDR in the future.
i use the google camera and aosp camera. a better camera is good, since they started using the api2 with it. but it has an issue with focusing at the moment.
Manual Camera by GD Software is best overall camera. Worth every penny. You can find on App Store.
The camera for nexus is going to update with the new api's. You can Google it and its being developed on as we speak. Cheers

Using FV-5 for the RAW format captures if it's a photo I'll want to keep. Stock camera if I have to snap a photo to share on hangouts or FB.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I've read about Manual Camera and how there are a few major issues with it (no front camera access, no videos, no saving of settings etc) but the positives are very good too (fast, good control, RAW). With a few updates it could become the best camera for the Nexus 6.
Reports that Google are updating the camera aren't all that informative and I dont expect the stock Google camera to have dramatic changes in post-processing abilities, speed, options or anything else. They MIGHT add RAW, but then the post-processing of photos through the stock camera (as well as speed) do not compared to other cameras out there (especially on other phones...Note 4, 6+ etc.).
If I were anyone wanting a new camera experience, I'd keep an eye on Manual Camera.
I can't help but feel the RAW thing is a bit of a gimmick on a phone though, and I say that as someone who shoots exclusively in RAW.
The benefits of using RAW are negated by the relative lack of quality in the camera itself (Compared with a DSLR for example) so realistically, I think it's a catchy term that'll appeal to those who aren't a big fan of the stock camera.
