[Q] Force macro setting in camera - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I know that with auto setting in the camera app when I get close to an object and try focusing I see it switch to macro but is there a way to manually set the camera to macro mode when not using the automatic scene selection so I can still do the touch focus?
Unless I am just missing it I didn't see a way to do it.

You can use single autofocus and it will automatically use macro when needed.

Simply, no. If you move from 4:3 (or 16:12, to clarify the point) resolution to 16:9, you will lose pixels since there's only 9 pixels vertical for every 16 horizontal instead of 12. And since we're already at the top end of the camera, we can't compensate that by adding horizontal pixels to keep the total amount same. So you will lose pixels if you want to take widescreen images, no matter what.
This is really bad for so called PHONE OF THE YEAR.
Is this feature added in any custom rom?

The average user and some of most advanced users don't care about this.
So just because it doesnt do what you want means it cant be the phone of the year.
Myself doesn't know what you talking about

Only solution is to use 6mp mode for widescreen photos. I use CameraZoomFX
Yes I think so, as its one of the basic feature which even every ordinary phone possess.

The only solution with the stock camera app is to use 6MP or any resolution on the phone marked W. You cant use 8. So answer is a NO.

Best camera for 4.3 roms

So I just flashed a 4.3 ROM and noticed the camera doesn't shoot wide screen and I have the two black bars along the sides.
Are there any apps that will be similar to the stock Samsung camera app??

I don't know if it is similar, but look at "focal".

Check out Snap Camera in the play store.
Sorry, for my incorrect answer.

Try shooting at 4128x2322.
I have to second the recommendation for focal, even though it's fairly new.
It's one of the best free cameras you can get in the Play store right now, and supports multiple shooting sizes which may resolve your issue.
Default 4.3 cam...at least on SlimROM. Go into settings, then click the second icon in from the right. The one labeled "True View" it changes the display to either show in the fixed res or fill the screen.

Shutter Speed Improvements??

My shutter speed has always taken forever and now with MM , its gotten worst. Is there anyway to increase the speed without Root??
Do you have hdr set to on?

Try setting it to auto or off. You will notice an increase in shutter speed.
