Is there an app to shoot light painting photos in full resolution ? The ones i found can save max at 1920*1080
Use manual mode on stock camera with the following settings:
Shutter speed: 5 - 15 seconds, play around with it to see which works best for you
ISO: 100, will collect as little background light as possible during the long exposure time
If you want, you can try setting manual focus as well, though you'll have to position the target perfectly.

i dont know if any of you have noticed or not ,,desire camera quality is not as good as Samsung galaxy s or any other 5mp camera phones....!!
-so if there is any tweaks for camera settings ,please let me know
-thank you
Use Vignette or Camera 360. Makes a huge difference.
both vignette and camera 360 are great but wont allow you to adjust the camera image processing settings
i'm getting excellent results with the HTC camera
first and foremost lower the sharpness in settings to -2, this will disable all the heavy edge sharpness and noise suppression applied by default and you will get proper photographic quality, this way you can leave adjustments like sharpness (if needed) to other apps like photoshop or picsay, i also raise the saturation to +1 for more vibrancy
you need to set the compression quality to high, i leave everything else to auto, except metering set to center area and of course highest resolution choose 4x3 aspect ratio if you want full mega pixels
one final thing in auto the htc camera chooses the lowest possible iso and hence a little sensitive to movement try to be still for a second when you shoot a photo
as for video recording 800x480 preforms great in good lighting it gets you 25fps, 720p gets around 20fps, unfortunately at low lighting the recording frame rate drops
camera performance is also improved when you are using a2sd (if rooted)
it could be the cheap crappy plastic cover over the camera lens causing your trouble, I removed mine ages ago (replaced it with a cut up screen saver) and it was like removing a cataract from my eye...!

Is there a way to keep the exposure same throughout the whole capture? Evertime I go over a bright window, the exposure auto adjusts and everything but the window looks black. Thanks!
Update,
At this point I don't see an option in the app to change or mess with the exposure setting while in Spere mode. Hopefully Google will implement some sort of exposure freeze feature as it would greatly help in creating a more balanced image without the light and dark variations.
With both the stock camera app and Camera FV5, it seems like if I want to fix either the shutter speed or ISO, the app would force me to manually pick the value for the other as well. I just want to be able to pick a high enough ISO or fast enough shutter speed so that when I take pictures of my kids, they won't be all blurry. Tinkering with both ISO and shutter speed myself usually isn't an option when taking pictures of them because they rarely stop for my photos (I would have missed the moment I want to capture by the time I get the settings right). Is there an app that can automatically set one of ISO or shutter speed when I have the other value fixed? This seems like a no brainer but not sure why none of the apps I have implements this. If the app can figure out all the values when it's on auto everything, taking out one of the variables should just make it easier to do the math.
Pro shot is capable of this, you can have two custom settings with, for example, shutter=1/100s and the other with shutter=1/30s and auto iso

I have tried various modes available in default camera app, and i believe if one needs best shot, you need to tweak some settings and that can be done in manual mode. I am not a pro and i am not able to figure out what are the best settings i need to adjust for getting nice picture. So i would like to ask experts here how i can use manual mode.
Please also suggest, in which environment the settings you suggest applies like low light, outdoor etc...
i'm not that pro regarding to camera but here are few things you could keep in mind:
1. The lower the iso the better the quality of the picture. So you might want to get it as low as possible.
2. If you don't want to sacrifice quality, lower the shutter speed. I usually lower it to the point my shaking hands are able to hold the device still, then raise the iso if the picture is still too dark. If it's a moving object, the faster the object, the higher the shutter speed you need to capture the object, so raise the shutter speed accordingly.
3. Another way to brighten your picture is raising the exposure value (EV)
4. WB is for tone, depends on the conditions of the light around you when you are in the middle of taking picture, the picture you take might have a different color than the actual scene, so adjust it so that you can get the tone as natural as possible, or adjust to your taste of tone
5. Try all the possible setting one by one, its more fun than getting told how to do them by someone else.
There is no best option, use tripod set you camera based on light etc and you will get a great shot

Has anyone noticed black concentric circles, a bit like vigenetting, when using stock camera in manual mode in very low light environment with a tripod? It has been there since 3T till 5T. It was ok in 3. By low light i mean very very low light conditions like capturing stars on a pitch black night. The shot i tried had iso 100, Shutter speed 25, WB auto, Focus infinity
