[Q] Taking pictures without focus - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Note 2 takes pictures immediately when I press the camera button.
Problem is that the camera isn’t focused. If I want to take focused pictures, I must hold camera button for a while and as soon as is focused I release it.
Samsung S3 and S4 take a snap after it‘s focused.
Is here any way to change it in settings?
I use official the camera app in auto mode, single picture mode.

Does One V has autofocus?

I'm trying to make good photo for 2 days, but it looks like phone has no autofocus at all, most of images are not sharp!
am I doing something wrong?
Yes it does have autofocus:
Camera with HTC ImageSense™
5 megapixel camera with auto focus, smart LED flash, and BSI sensor (for better low-light captures)
F2.0 aperture and 28mm lens
720p HD video recording
Dedicated imaging chip
Capture a photo in the midst of recording HD video
Continuous shooting mode captures multiple snapshots
Be Still For At Least A Second!!
It takes at least 1-2 seconds to focus on a thing. Be Still!
ok, but do you press screen or the photo button?
when i click photo button it seems like it makes photo instantly without any focusing
Screen and the photo button both...
There is Autofocus in One V...
When you take picture, you'll yourself come to know that it is trying to focus on a particular object.
If this doesn't happen, on the screen gently tap on the object. It will show some green borders around the are you touched and it will focus. After that, press the camera button. :good:

Stock camera App with only one centered button?

Hi all,
I've noticed in a few photography apps which have a choice of either taking a picture or opening the gallery, that when you press the "Camera" option, it usually takes you to the stock camera but with the difference that there is no Record button, only a big capture button right in the middle.
Is there any chance of seing this as a seperate app or any way of creating a shortcut for it? I usually only use the camera and having to avoid the record button can become tiresome at times, even with the new 4.5 version.
All the best

Evo Camera better -- any good place to suggest features to Samsung?

I just sent the below email to Samsung via support website –*the form didn't even have an option for SPH-L710!!
Is there an official place to submit feature requests? Not that I have high hopes they will listen, but ...
I recently switch to this phone from an HTC Evo LTE. The Galaxy is great, takes great photos, but there are a couple things about the camera that I wish it could do like the Evo.
1. "Burst mode" -- on the Evo you don't have to change to burst mode; you can just hold down the shutter button. It also shows you all the photos instantly. On the Galaxy it takes several seconds for each one to show up. Is it because you don't have that dedicated chip inside?
2. On the Evo, there are 2 shutter buttons, 1 for stills, 1 for video. This is MUCH MUCH better than having to slide a switch, THEN start shooting.
3. You have that gesture for going to camera from lockscreen, but it still requires an unlock, causing you to 'miss the moment.' It would be much better if you could skip the unlock to just take pictures, like on the iphone (where you can TAKE pictures but not VIEW anything or switch to another app if you use the camera icon on the lockscreen.) It would be even better if you could just slide the cam icon on the homescreen and not have to unlock.

[Q] Photo & Video buttons on same screen?

Hi.. maybe i'm missing something (very probable), but i can't seem to find out if it's possible to have both buttons on the camera screen at once, for taking a photo or starting a video recording.
I've attached three pics to show what i'm on about.
1st shows M8 camera screen. Only button is to take a picture.
2nd shows M8 dual shot screen, on here it's possible to do both, take a pic or start a video.
3rd is from the One X camera screen. On it it's also possible to do both from the same screen.
Is it possible to get both options on screen on the M8? or do i have to keep switching between photo & video mode in the menu? which is a bit annoying if i want to quickly take a picture but have forgotten to switch to photo mode!
Thanks in advance for any help. :good:
That'll be a no then
By going to video mode (press the 4 circles in bottom right of the screen and select video), you can start recording video, and after you record a while, 2-3 sec, a camera button (that captures images while recording) appears under the stop button.
I don't know if there is any other way to get them both simultaneously.
The second pic is dual capture mode. This mode allows to use front and back camera at the same time not take a pic and video. You can see the red box in the corner which is the front camera image.

What i meant is that the buttons to take a picture or start recording a video are both on screen.
What i hoped for was a way to have it like the last pic from the One X, so that as soon as you start the camera up you can have photo & video buttons on screen.. but it seems as if that's not possible, maybe because of the two cameras on the back of the M8?

What about the Zoe option? You can take pictures with it or you can hold the "capture" button in for 3 seconds or so and it starts recording a video.

There already is that option in camcorder mode. As soon as you start recording the camera button becomes available for taking pictures.

This isn't exactly the best option since you lose any ability to use the duo camera effects if you take pictures with Zoe. Does anyone know of any mods that bring back the photo capture and video capture buttons on the stock Sense 6 camera UI screen at the same time?

Camera app

Hello. I want my phone to take a picture every second with 108MP option on. There is an app called "Open Camera" and it can take a picture every second but the resolution is 12mp - 4,000x3000. The ultra resolution is 12,000x9,000. I'm looking at android developers on Fivver but most of them don't know how to do edit the app or make a new one. Anyone here knows how I can make my phone take a picture every second and make like 100 pictures?
Burst shot, see settings in camera set it to burst.
Swipe shutter button to edge.
Take burst shot

Burst shots are low quality pictures. Anyways, I found a solution. It's called Auto Click app. It will push shutter button for you and take as many pictures as you want.
