Hello, i just got my sgs2.
is it possible to change the autofocus while recording a video?
I don't think its possible manually. It's just auto-focus. Would be a nice feature to have though!

yeah... the way if works when shooting a photo... just tapping somewhere to set the focus on
Camera focuses on the centre. It uses continual autofocus which is good enough for me

Hi all.
Recently I've noticed that it takes about 5 (!) seconds from the minute I press the camera button till the shot is actually being taken.
Anyone noticed it?
Someone knows a solution?
Are there any better alternatives to the stock camera app?
Thanks!
Has to do with the focus. It needs to focus to get a nice and sharp picture.

But also when I set the focus to macro or face detection it takes a lot of time
Ive had this issue also. The shutter time is horrible. I have an app called tasker which allows me to change the amount of time it takes for the camera to take the picture once i press the button.
Thanks, Will try that
Unfortunately, tasker is like 6bucks, but well worth it. It does WAY more than just fix the shutter lag. As far as i know, there isnt an app to fix just the lag on the cam. I havent found one anyways..
Take your phone outside when it's bright. Take a shot. The focus and capture should be near instantaneous. If not, then it's a hardware fault and you should have your phone replaced.
If it works, then the reason your cam was slow is due to insufficient lighting. You can't expect any camera to focus and capture instantly in low-light environments. Maxing out the ISO setting will help with the shutter speed but you'll end up with disgusting noisy pictures.
How does Tasker fix the shutter lag???
I use fast burst camera app. It can take 5 pics in quick burst or just single shots. Photos are taken the instant you hit the button

5 pics burst, the image size is disgustingly small from what I hear. But the single pic shot, is that full resolution?
When i record video, everything always goes out of focus. is there any way i can get touch to focus on my galaxy sII while recording video?

Good question, the continuous autofocus on my i717 is completely useless. I miss my Motorola Atrix 2 with its awesome touch to focus. I don't think it is possible to enable touch to focus.
Often when I am taking video I find that its moving in and out of focus. From what I can tell it is attempting to focus on too large of an area. There are objects at different distances within the focus window and so it auto focuses on these different objects.
Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere to change the focus window? For example, is there a way to have it focus on a point instead of an area?
Alternatively, is there a different video capturing app that might do a better job than the stock camera app?
Yes. There is, search the market for alternative camera apps. I've noticed this as well on gingerbread not so much on ics tho.

Hello everybody
I found exposure slider in camera setting has no effect on viewfinder and also on resulted media . Weather was still camera or video.
Any one confirm this or else?

I have the exact same problem, from both front and back cameras. Same in third party camera apps, exposure controls simply do not function as expected, no change at all. HDR picture mode seems to work fine though.
Not a serious enough problem for me to RMA, but it is a small dent in the glory of the S3 for sure..

I also had this issue and was deeply disappointed, because my optimus 2x made much better shots in low light because of the exposure compensation.
I found the solution today: I used the hidden camera menu *#34971539# and discovered that my camera was ZDFE02 and the phone firmware was ZDFE03. If your phone to cam button is greyed out, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32721917
After copying the file to internal SD, restart, then update and restart. You get new cam firmware and now the exposure works.
