Camera Settings - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if someone could post a quick tutorial on picture taking with the vibrant. For example: ISO, Metering, etc...
I saw some pretty cool pictures taken with the vibrant and I'm interested in taking pictures now.

Easiest way for beginners is use the Scene settings. Other than that just play around with the settings and see what works best for you.

[Q] Quad camera app for Android?

Does anyone know if there is an app for Android that is similar to the Quad Camera app for the Iphone? It takes four pictures in a row really quickly and saves them on the same screen so it looks like the screen is quartered. I love the camera on my Vibrant but really miss this one app from my Iphone 3gs. I have tried the photo booth apps but those take a while to take each picture. I would really appreciate any info.
Ddo none of the the camera options in the device help? I know we have alot of camera settings including multiple shots, takes 9 in a row.. plus action.. I did a review on it at androidspin dot com.. I'd link it to ya but it won't let me.
androidfreak,
I tried all the settings in the camera. The multi-shot takes the pictures as separate pictures and it's blurry when I move. Thanks though.
Search "MultiShot" in Android Market. I think that is what you are looking for. Its not a free app though.

Auto-Enhance

I'm running CM7 and was wondering if there was anything comparable to what the stock ROM had when editing photos because the "Auto-Correct" feature worked great! I have a few photo editors (PicSay, Photo-Enhancer) but they either don't enhance on their own, or they don't really do much to improve the photo
Anyone know any good way?

(Q) Best camera settings for awesome pictures

What are the best settings for taking pics on our SGS2's?
Ive seen some amazing quality pictures in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139591
but i cant seem to keep the quality after ive taken it and go to the gallery.
Im using all default settings
To get the best result you need to play with the settings in different situation.
Camera and photograph enthusiasts will do that.
Normally people will just adjust everything to the best to get the best result.
I got 1 question, is the Superfine, Fine and Normal option have any effect on the quality? As Normal will have the smallest file size which seems to be convenience and I don't really see much difference in quality.
you gotta play with the settings which is troublesome...all ive done so far is modify the ISO to 800 and adjust the contrast and i see an improvement on my pics

Simply HDR app alternative

I was an iphone 5 user and made the switch over to the Note 2 recently. One thing I miss is this app called Simply HDR. It's a faux HDR that added some neat effects. I'm no photographer at all so I don't understand your basic photo settings which is why simply HDR was great because you could just choose a pre set and be done.
Does anyone know of an app that does pretty much the same thing, maybe one that I missed?
I have tried pretty much all apps i come across and the only one that comes close is HDR fx. Downside is it is way over done and the photos look over processed and terrible. There is also very few pre sets that create the desired effect.
Have you tried

Are you running a Custom ROM? The aosp cameras have an hdr function.

So far ive tried a lot of different apps. I like the best 'Fotor' and 'Camerace'. The best photo editor is either PicsArt or Aviary.

I purchased the following apps and have had great success with them.
You can see some photos taken with Pro HDR Camera on my Flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
Pro HDR Camera
HDR FX Pro (Have to play with the settings quite a bit to get the desired effect)
Perfectly Clear (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX)
Pixlr Express (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX and useful for resizing images)
You may also want to take a look at Vignette Camera and Camera FV-5. In my opinion, Camera FV-5 gives you the most control over the settings and pics.
Hope this helps

Hey im back... you can continue with life =)
Unfortuantely the only app that gets close to what im looking to accomplish was photo fx but it was way over processed looking. Ive got to spend time tinkering.
I got an email from the guys at Simplyhdr/JixPix and they plan in releasing simply HDR on android soon hopefully. Its not a natural hdr which most if the apps here seem to be doing actualy hdr function...taking multiple photos and stitching them together. Simlly hdr takes one and creates an hdr effect that seems more dramatic. Hard to explain.
try this...

Just use a camera ... I mean if you are that picky about HDR settings on a cellphone..
