Tips for camera use - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really enjoy taking pics on my phone. I just wanted everyone to share any tips they may have as far as settings...iso, zoom, scene, etc.
I'm especially interested in macro mode. Sometimes I have difficulty getting a lock when I try to zoom in macro mode.

Low battery percentage and camera

Hi! I'm out of home and got into the issue where my battery drops below 15% After that, it won't take any photo.
In my opinion, this is a fairly big amount of juice, enough to keep me happy taking some extra snapshots.
Does somebody know how to modify the low battery percentage or how to make my camera work when it's below 15%?
Thanks a lot!

Use a different camera app. All third party apps do not have this restriction.
Alright! I did take some snapshots with Camera ZOOM FX, but I got too used to the default Camera app.
Is there a better option?
And for recording video?

You can install SGS Tools, click update systems apps, and click camera hack. Sadly, this require root.

Best Camera App for Atrix?

Which app do you use for regular photo taking? I've tried MIUI Camera App, Stock Camera App & Camera Zoom FX. I was happy with Camera Zoom FX at first but then I found some bugs! Like it doesn't stop the shutter sound. Besides, when I took some pictures today with the auto focus many times the eyes become horrible! (just like ghost's eye! terrible! Can't be repaired with Red Eye Fix)
So what do you reccomend? Should I stick with the stock Camera App?
Thanks!
Stock app works great for me.
Add Paper Camera (at 10 cents) for cool effects and I am good.
A lot of ATRIX users like the DROID 3 camera app in some of the modded ROMS.

I use Camera360 as daily use. Light HDR is the best setting for normal daylight shootings.

Can someone upload the Droid3Camera.apk?
I've tried stock, MIUI, Zoom, and CM7. CM7 is my fav followed by stock. Stock has a panoramic camera which is nice.
I got the best results with droid3 camera app.

Best Camera App?

I'm really disappointed in the Samsung camera as far as Macro goes, it's really horrible. I'm not a huge camera person but come on! Not only that, it seems every picture has a orangeish tint to it. Not liking this. Can someone maybe give me some pointers possibly? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Picked up this one last week for .10 during the app sale. Great camera app with a lot of useful features.

Thanks guys!
+1 on camera zoom fx...been using it for about 2 weeks now and it's awesome
+1 to Zoom as well. Lets you bind volume keys to anything and saved me having to flash a custom rom JUST to get the shutter key mod.
IMO, all the camera app is frustrating to use. none of the app is comparable to even the stock iphone camera app.
when you're holding the shutter to focus, once its already focus, you release to take the pic, but why does it need to refocus again?!
How is the video recording on camera zoom fx? I want a camera app that has good video recording. Thanks in advance.
Camera zoom fx does not support video recording. I still have to use the stock for video recording.
I use Camera Zoom FX for regular pics and ProCapture for panoramas.
I use vignette. Very happy with it.

Camera and Video recording ROM?

I'm off to a concert tomorrow night, and will probably wish to take endless amounts of pictures and videos.
I'm currently using Westcrips Resurrection Remix, but the battery performance seems poor and the camera quality doesn't seem up to scratch. Is it just me?
I was wondering would I be better off flashing the latest Stock version of ICS so I get the 8.0mp quality, or are there other ROMS you guys would recommend which would allow me to record/take pictures for a good few hours?
Or as another alternative, are there any ways I can improve my camera quality in both photos and video recording?
Sorry for babbling on.
Thanks in advance!

My recommendation would be to leave the phone at home and enjoy the concert.
If you insist on taking it, set the screen brightness to minimum and use a camera app which allows fixed focus (such as lgcamera/lgcamcorder).

Thanks for the app recommendation. The instant capture is a huge positive!

[Tasker] How to show camera preview in scene or similar?

Hi all,
I would like to display a camera preview then to take a picture using the front facing camera on touch.
I'm not up to scratch on scenes yet and everything that Tasker has the ability to do, I'm guessing this is possible but can only see the ability to take picture with preview set at a particular interval set by global settings which is of no use to me.
I would really appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance.
