Is it possible to use hand gesture for rear camera? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the rear camera is much better than the front, I was thinking how great it would be to be able to use it for selfies.
I know I could also use the timer to take selfies with the rear camera, but I noticed it usually loses the focus as I move the camera around to press the shutter.
Is there an option for this, or even an app for this?

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 ImageSenseā„¢
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:

question about stock camera/camera apps

so with my old iphone, i could pull out the camera, and click where i wanted to focus. furthermore, if say.. i was taking a picture of someone near a bright light, and their face was really dark because the light was really bright, i could press near their face or somewhere dark, and the camera would adjust the lighting, and brighten up the face and darken the background.
so far that ive noticed, the g3 camera doesnt do that..is there one that does?
Camera FV-5 has touch to focus and touch to meter features. In fact it has many more controls, and is the only camera app for Android I have used since discovering it a few years ago.

Google Camera distorting images/widening and flattening faces.

Hi guys,
When taking selfies on the 3XL using the official app with HDR+ on, after post processing, the picture strethces the bottom and top parts of the image and stretches out faces and things unnaturally. Is there any way to disable this from happening (without disabling post processing)?
Selfies come out really unnatural with this.

This link is essentially what I'm talking about. Some users were able to fix the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the app but that doesn't seem to work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having problems with camera either. Try to open camera app and snap a quick shot with motion photo auto or on. Sometime my tap to snap doesn't even work. I need to tap a second time

Question 3x zoom in camera app doesn't switch to telephoto camera

Hello
I got the Fold4 a few days ago and still figuring things out
I don't seem to understand how the stock camera app switches cameras
There are 3 'predefined' optical zoom options at the bottom:
1. .6x - Assuming this is the 10MP ultra-wide camera (top camera, furthest from the flash LED)
2. 1x - Assuming this is the main 50MP wide camera (middle camera)
3. 3x - Assuming this is the bottom 12MP 3x telephoto camera (bottom camera, closest to the flash LED)
The thing is - if I cover the bottom camera with my finger and toggle all the zoom options, none of them show a covered camera.
It seems my assumption is right about 1 and 2, but the 3x zoom option also uses the main 50MP middle camera, and it just crops the image
Only going digital zoom of 10x or above makes it switch to the bottom telephoto camera
If I switch the camera app to video then it's a different story, 1x uses the main 50MP camera and 3x uses the 12MP bottom camera
Anyone has this issue or any information on it?
Just checked mine and it switches between all three cameras
I also just checked mine and when the 3:4 mode is selected then it will move between the 3 cameras based on when I select the preset 0.6x, 1x and 3x zoom.
However what I don't understand is when I can select the 3:4 50MP camera then there are no other preset zooms to choose... What is the difference between this mode and the 3:4 mode - are they both 50MP??

I think the regular 3:4 mode is only 12MP (3000x4000 resolution), maybe to save memory or to do produce better pictures with some algorithm.
the 3:4 50MP takes advantage of the full capability of the sensor
This option exists in most of their modern phones
The zoom camera will automatically default back to the main camera if the ambient light level is too low. Because the zoom lens has a smaller aperture it performs worse in dark environments. It is likely being triggered by your finger covering the lens. This has been the case with all multi lens camera phones that Samsung makes.

Thank you, I did not know that
Confirmed it by switching to 3x when all cameras are covered and uncovering only the 2 top ones
It will auto switch to telephoto camera when it gets bright enough
ty this fixed my zoom problem for pictures. but when recording video it does not switch can some one direct me to an app or to a fix please

Question Is there any way to use video-call apps with the back camera and front screen?

I would like to use Google Duo with the back wide camera + the front screen, but as far as I have seen, it is only available in the selfie mode of the photo camera app.
Is there any way to use it for video-calling? The under the screen camera quality is pretty horrendous, to be honest.
Thanks.
