Is anyone else having this issue:
My Z1 is on Kitkat. When I enable long press for burst, every single picture I take with the physical shutter button is a burst shot. I can't seem to press and release the shutter fast enough to avoid it. I like having long press to burst active so I can take them when I want, but the shutter button seems to be so stiff that it's the only kind of shot I can take when it's on.
Is this a known issue, or is it my unit?
I have that on mine so I disabled burst mode :-/

Thanks for confirming. See, I don't want to disable it. I like being able to take spontaneous burst shots. It works fine with the on-screen shutter. I think the hardware button is either just too stiff or sensitive or both.

Hi... I just got my Galaxy Camera in yesterday.
I've been wondering how to do screen capture in Galaxy Camera... does anyone know how to do so?
Thank you... ^.^
The power button and zoom out.

Or go to settings. Under motion settings tick palm swipe to capture. Then you can simply swipe your hand across the screen to make a screenshot.

Thanks for the response. I tried it just now, it doesn't work.
Maybe I did wrong, I hold the zoom in and power button at the same time, doesn't work.
Same situation when I hold the zoom out and power button.

Thanks for the response. The step you provided is to allow me to take a photo from the display when turn on the camera mode.
Let me explain further, I have a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and if I want to screen capture on the display, in Jellybean I shall need to hold the power button and home button at the same time.
Can I do same thing if I want to screen capture the desktop without turn on the Camera mode?
Yes you can capture the screen in any mode. The palm swipe takes a little getting used to. I find it best to use the side of my hand.

Great... I shall try it later at night. Thanks for the hint
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....
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
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?

I haven't tested any other phones but I could count to 3 or more till it focuses when I hold my hand in front of my camera e.g.

Awesome!!! Thanks! Welcome underwater pictures!
Be sure that pressing the button doesn't beak the waterproof seal :/ not sure how how you could check that without trying it though.
Sent from my Xperia Z using Tapatalk
Dont do it, when you push any button under water you compress the button and a small amount of water sips through and stays there when you decompress the button. Im not a 100 % sure on how it is with this phone, it might have a working seal. But if it doesnt...
I think it'll be fine, I'll try it in the pool soon.
Last night I was trying to take pics of me dunking and the camera lagged every time there was movement on the phone, but when it was day time it was as good as can be.
Also, I noted that when taking a really up close picture of something, the camera doesn't focus at all...even if you tap it.
Ditto on the same issues... Or maybe that's the way the phone camera is. If anyone with better knowledge could enlighten us if this is normal or not would be greatly appreciated.

It's normal.. It's trying to adjust ISO to allow light in and that takes time which causes the screen to lag.. If you manually adjust the ISO to a specific setting it will not lag nearly as bad as auto in low light.

You should see how much snapchat lags with low light situations on this phone.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
If you're referring to the picture moving smoothly as you move, this is normal. I don't think it's iso but rather the shutter being open longer (slow shutter). If you notice, the picture smears while you're moving. This is exactly what happens when the shutter is slow. This phone probably sets the shutter slower than most others to draw in even more light. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hey Guys
Quick question.
Is there is a way to speed up the camera shutter speed through software, or is it completely hardware driven? I am using the Camera FV-5 app. Takes great pictures, just wondering if there was a way to improve the shutter response. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I tried that and the shots were still blurry unfortunately. I refuse to believe the camera/sensor on this phone is as bad as it is making out to be.
