Is it possible to have the power button act as a camera button when a camera app is in use?
Just curious, as I've noticed recently that it's difficult to take self portraits without being shaky.
yes, it has been done in some of the roms with a modified camera apk. sorry cant remember which ones tho.
will the following mods (1/2/3) work on my Vibrant too?

How can I take self portraits on the X2 when the only button to take pictures is on the main screen. I am having a hard time hitting the shutter button and not the options button. Is there any app or modification I can make to the phone to fix this!? Help!
Thanks!

Little Photo
You can try using little photo from the market which lets you take a picture just by tapping on the screen or using the volume buttons. theres also a camera mod in the forums that lets you use the search button to take a picture
heh, I'm with the OP, I not a shutter bug so hadn't used the camera much, but I found exactly the same thing. I kept trying to hit the shutter button and it kept sliding out the options menu...
I use vignette and can't recommend it highly enough! I use it as my sole camera and it works awesome. Shoots faster than stock and you can use volume keys or tap anywhere to take a pic. Also allows for 10x zoom which is actually handy and works decently.

Yeah they dropped the ball when they removed the camera button, I could do without most but that one is important

Is this a fault of the rom? [UnName 1.0.3]
or is it the stock app? Are there any better apps for using the camera that are faster and won't pause for 2 seconds after I've hit the shutter button?
[EDIT]
Also I do have blink detection and anti-shake on, but with these off, its about a half second or so quicker to shoot, still I would like a snappier shooter if possible as I would like to use my phone's awesome camera as a point and shoot. It would also be cool if the lock/power button could be used as a shutter button when in use with the camera app if possible.
Any tips?
I think the shutter delay issue is just part of the phone.
As to the power button question, I believe they are working on modding the camera apk presently to allow for the usage of that as well as using the camera at any battery level(it usually disables it below 15%)

Good to know, thanks. Hope the improvements roll out soon.
Ok, so this is an issue I can't seem to find anyone else complaining about.
My physical camera button won't activate the camera flash.
Now I understand that If the camera is set to Continuous Shooting mode that it probably shouldn't flash - but I've turned that off and I cannot get it to flash unless I use the on screen button, which is difficult for me.
Anyone else having the issue?
My camera rarely flashes when using the camera button, the time it did, it was in Portrait setting instead of 'auto'. I don't want to hijack your thread, but this is a good place to ask... Why can you hold down the camera button to take a stream of photos in modes other than Auto (I understand not allowing it in HDR), but the other modes don't seem to make sense...

I was thinking about that last night when I was trying to get my flash to work and playing with settings. It seems like you should be able to take a burst of landscape photos.....or anything else except HDR, and possible some of the lower light combinations.
My physical shutter button activates my flash just fine. For continuous, it flashes on the first shot, but that's it. It will take continuous with the physical button also

Title says it. I don't use my stock camera. I started using Googles camera which is lacking in features but it does take better photos than the stock camera does. At least before any filtering, etc. So without me using the stock camera. My camera hardware key/button/short cut is basically a dead button and its like a pet pieve for me. I don't have to use the Google camera but I really want to remap this camera button where its used to open another camera app. What options do I have? Seems with the few things I've experimented with only let me change the camera button for an action and not a application launch.
Thanks

I am really hoping you can touch to focus on video on the new 1 III model... If someone can confirm/deny I would be grateful.
In any way, uploading the stock camera .apk would be helpful for everyone curious to try it on other xperia devices.
There you go
You can touch to focus or manually focus during recording in the cinema pro app which is focussed on video capturing and editing.
However auto focus during recording didn't work too well in a quick first try. It just couldn't get a hold of the sharp point. But maybe I did something wrong or this will be fixed.
Manual focus however is a dream - wouldn't wan't anything else. You can even preset 2 focus levels and automatically switch between them.
I just downloaded this to my Xperia 5 ii it works I like how they made the basic mode and still have the other options

hi liggerz87, can you tell me if this new version of the app allows to launch the Camera with the dedicated physical button?
If you hit the camera button it pulls up the normal app but you can use the double power button tap to open it by default that way
Also someone made a macro that works only prob you can't use the standard camera app and it disables it
