hi, i just read the zr does not have a tap to focus when recording video,
does any of the available roms have this feature or is something impossible by software due hardware limitations of the camera?

does the camera work with other apps or can you only use the system app?
I'm particularly interested in
DMD Panorama
Lapse It
Fotor
can they be used?
I don't know about any of those specifically, but the android Camera API certainly works. Most 3rd party camera apps probably won't recognize the hardware zoom buttons (they seem to work as volume up/down by default), but the special purpose camera app I'm working on seems to be functioning well so far.
ah so zoom is special to the hardware on the device
zooming should still work fine if the app supports pinch zooming.
so does anyone use these apps on the Samsung successfully with zoom?
The "paper camera" app that comes with the camera (AT&T version, anyway) can operate the zoom using an onscreen slider, so zoom physically works in the Camera API, but unless the individual app specifically decides to intercept the hardware volume up/down keys and map them to zoom, then it will need some other way to control zoom (like the onscreen slider in paper camera). How many apps do that (other than the native samsung app), I have no idea.

Hello All,
Many a times i get blurred pics with rear camera due to the camera autofocus not complete or focus shifts while pressing the shutter button.
So,
1) Is it possible to start focusing only after i press the shutter button?
2) Is it possible to change focusing method from autofocus to fixed focus? I think there is this option in xperia mobiles.
Thanks in advance.
Is there an option on Google Camera where you can manual focus the camera while recording? It's frustrating when the camera is out of focus for a good 5 seconds while recording.. If you can't, any good camera apps you guys suggest?
L Camera easily allows you to manually focus while recording

Hello,
I just bought Xperia Z3 Compact with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. But it looks like there is no 4k video recording option in camera.

Why?
Thanks,

its a different camera "app" keep scrolling to the right until you get to the "6 dots" menu and then choose 4k
Hi.
As the title of this thread implies, I have been having problems with my camera on the latest Nougat firmware. One major problem I faced is the inability for the camera to focus (tap to focus). I've played with a lot of settings both on Superior Auto and Manual but the problem doesn't seem to go away. The photos I took are so bad and out of focus I feel like it's completely broken. I didn't notice it being this bad the first time I installed Nougat. Planning to do factory reset soon.
Does anyone face the same issue?
I have same problem.
Wait for it to be released.
I had the same problem on .372 firmware, but on .376 seems ok

Can you say object tracking is good or bad? What doest it do? In my camera it is enabled, should I turn it off? I don't use touch to focus or touch to shoot. I use normal shoot button( I am a normal photo taker).

Does the lens in our camera capable of object tracking ? I thought only Z5 series and later support object tracking.

Can ajy of you shoot good macro shots?? My Z3+ just wont focus close up subjects no matter what I do,but if the subject is further away it does focus.Ive experimented with the settings but it is the same.And yes ive cleaned the lens and tried with the hardware button too.I also downgraded to 6.0.1 but the issue persists.Any fix?

when you use macro settings, and have blur picture of close objects , it's because of the focal length of the lens.
