upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus
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...

It's disappointing. Especially compared to my Nokia n8

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?
I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
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)..

Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!

I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
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)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo
I notice on the nexus device camera you have to hard press and hold the camera button and wait until the dialer lock into place. its a twisting dialer that goes from left to right from 9pm to 12. There is a green light at 12 o clock. You have to let go of the shutter button when the dialer hit 12 o clock. Simply just slightly tapping the camera shutter button cause the screen to get a lil out of focus but it produces a clear shot also.....try it out.
for better color reproduction in day light use -1 in the iso/ white balance /exposure setting
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics
Thanks man that was very helpful !

in day light hold down the camera shutter button. The dialer should start at 9 oclock. as you hold down on the shutter button the dialer moves to 12 olock when it reaches 12 oclock the dialer turn green. release the camera shutter button at 12 oclock....
The big circle is the dialer
I noticed that i get a better color reproduction with -1 in the camera ios/white balance setting....

Dialer is the Focus Circle !
kinda confusing when you refer dialer as focus circle. By holding the shutter button you're forcing focus to stay locked on.. Just like on any regular camera(PNS,DSLR) Phone Shooters come with continuous auto-focusing which is kinda annoying... always preferred single focus over continuous but then again single focus would be terrible with video..
Nice find :good::good::good::good:
I always do this when taking pics. Even on the s3 I would hold the shutter button til focus locked in instead of just tapping it then focus isn't 100%

thanks for sharing with everyone, i figured this out a while ago, and posted in the 'pictures taken from nexus 4 thread'. but it works very well with flash! pictures come out way more natural, and pictures dont come out too bright or bluish tint!

very cool. I had no idea. that stupid moving circle was driving me APE ****. STOP FREAKING GETTING OUT OF FOCUS.
holding the blue button down locks it and takes great in focus shots. who knew?

so you're saying that exposure compensation menu also controls ISO? like 2 in 1? because ISO it's the other thing which weirdly cannot be adjusted manually as well as metering.
I think Galaxy S line (2-3 and 4) have those for manual adjustment. I can live without ISO adjustment no problem.. anything above 400 looks terrible anyway. But Google Or LG had to put Metering mode for a proper exposure...At least N4 got HDR mode as workaround

i don't quite understand with this one. i assume this is non hdr mode since you manually turn on the flash. do i have to change the scene mode or leave it on auto?

Hello all,
We all know that the camera clarity is not so good in XZ... Even my Arc was far better as compared to this.. I tried changing settings alot but couldnt get any solution.. The pictures are not sharp at all.. Can anyone tell me how can we get sharper picture? The images are quite blurry even if u use the "Supererior auto" mode.. So if any one can help me..
Hold the phone still, make sure HDR is off, should come out quite clear and sharp in good lighting conditions.
Do NOT use superior auto. And lower you iso. High iso screws up pics big time.
If you need sharp images shoot in burst mode.

Lowest number possible so 100
My phone is in for repairs (audio) at the moment, but isn't burst mode max resolution just under 8MP?
i can't seem to find the option.. i don't want 8 megapixel pictures all the time..takes up memory.. i normally take 2/3 megapixel shots.. that's good enough for me...
you can only shoot pictures with maximum 4 megapixels with the HTC one
it's also possible to shoot pictures with less than 4 megapixels

sorry..that's what i meant.. i don't need them large at 4 megapixels.. how is it possible to shoot with less than 4..you said it's possible.. i'm asking HOW to do it
directly in the camera app settings. you have to scroll down
You want LESS than 4mp? As it is 4mp captures less detail than I'd like ):

I don't have the phone with me now, but when you open the options, it should be in the first 3 settings you see. One should be Crop, the other should be size or resolution or something. With words like 3261x5112
try menu button
You can't.

For more options a camera app like

True They're hiding the pixel count to avoid intrigue with the ultrapixel camera. Most naive people would probably complain when they see the numbers in the settings so instead they opt to set it to wide, regular & square.
Hi . Can someone tell me how close their camera can get to anything before going out of focus . As mine will not get any closer than about 15 cm before getting blurry . I cannot take pictures of any text close up .

Have you tried using the Macro setting from the menu?
EDIT: Yep, looks like you're right... hmmm... If it's just readability you're going for, you can always use the digital zoom slider to zoom in. The text looks fine, but the background's a little (a lot) grainy.
Have tried a few things to make it better. The macro shots I get are useless. Any object is totally out of focus until i move about 20 cm away .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Can anyone else verify this as macro mode is useless to be honest and need to know if it's just mine that is faulty or it is the way the camera is .

With macro on i can get as close as 45-50mm
John.
It depends on what you're trying to get a picture of. Certain things with certain lighting will be easier/harder for the camera to focus on.
I just tried it for myself. From one angle I couldn't focus very close. Maybe around the distance the OP was saying. From a different angle, with the light bringing out details better, I was able to get much closer. If my first attempt was about 10-15cm, maybe my second attempt got around 5cm

On mine it is no perfect but looks better:
This has been shooted at 5-6 cm of distance, mine can focus properly.. Someone decompiled camera.apk and the focal length is set to 5cm,over that will not focus ..

here is a small test I did with my HONE and I'm kinda pissed, 5cm no focus, 6cm no focus, 7cm no focus, 8cm almost focus and then 9cm clear focus all on macro mode.
Perhaps my handset is defective?

Depends a lot also on rom
I noticed a important improvment on 4.2.2
The focal distance is 5cm,so is software related,and i can focus from that distance on 4.2.2
I have tried most roms on my phone with not that much difference to be honest . There is no way I can get to 5cm with any useable results . I know this may seem a minor problem but I need to use this for work to take pictures of part numbers . My one x and incredible s used to be able to handle these distances even in low light conditions .
