So I know on my phone pressing the volume button while in the camera is supposed to make the camera zoom. However all of a sudden today while taking a picture I pressed the button to zoom and the picture was taken. I really liked the zoom being the volume buttons. Did I adjust a setting and not know it or what does anyone have an idea how I did this or how to change it back at least?
* FIGURED THIS OUT! DIDNT REALIZE THE LATEST ROM I FLASHED HAD THIS AS A FUNCTION, NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT LOL*

Do you have resolution set to 8mp? Haven't been stock in a while but doesn't the camera lose this ability after you hit max resolution?

Im using flapjaxx stock ics rom and for some reason i cannot do a screen capture? I had no problems on GB all i had to do was push power and home. Ive tried power + home, power + volume buttons, power + menu nothing works. Anyone else having any luck?
The karate chop method works fine for me. Take the blade of your hand and swipe left to right across the screen.
Others have had success swiping it across their forehead. Seriously.

Or use the s-pen method. Hold the button down on the pen and then touch the screen and continue for about 2 seconds until capture is successful.
I always use the s-pen to take a screen shot. I have YET to get the karate chop method down.

Just did swipe method or karate chop and that works wonders but home and power key still work on mine and my 2 friends notes.

Me, too. I've tested all the 3 ways to capture. And all the methods worked well. Oh, I had to hold power+home for a little bit longer time to process tho. I normally use s-pen to capture because I wub doodling my screenshots... -_-;;
Hi everyone
can anyone please help me find a way to use the camera button of my sony xperia s as a multitasking key
i have upgraded to ICS but i still have to long press the home key to launch recent app list which is very annoying.
Thanks.
Its like gingerbread, long press to show recent apps, as far I know it can't be done yet

Im not experienced in this field but my logic tells me that its only use is for the camera since its a hardwarebutton.
Good idea though.
In case you want the soft buttons that ICS provides there is a thread called on screen buttons mod in the dev section.

Don't you think changing the function of camera key would be a bit weird? Everytime you have to switch between apps, you'll have to reach the cam key. Waste of time, if you ask me. And I don't think it has been done.
You'd better enable the default on screen buttons of ICS.
Just follow this link:

On my original inc you could take pics by long pressing on the area you wanted on focus...I can't seem to do that on the 4g.long pressing will set the focus,but then you must press the shutter button to take a pic.
Any way to change that?
Ps I disabled auto focus because it would just re focus on everything on the screen...
I'm wondering the same thing...

I don't believe there is a way to do that currently, at least not without some mods that would require root.
Hello,
I'm just asking something about taking pictures underwater. As far as I know, there are so many review about "video recording" not taking pictures under water using ur Z2.
So, maybe some of you already trying to take a pictures under water, as far as I know, you can take a Pictures if it on timer (i try it but no working) because it's not working when in the water. And another option is using smile detection, but it's not really effective i think,
The last thing i know is using camera button near the volume buttons, it's ok to using it under water ? Will the water coming in to the phones when i pressed it ? anybody have the experienced for this ?? thanks.
its IP58 Certifies meaning that with this phone you can almost do anything underwater exept open the flaps
underwater the screen doesent respont but you can use the camera button

Best way I've found is open the app, and either start the video then submerge the phone and video, or use the camera button to snap away.
I've found it only works when fully submerged. If only half the phone is under then the water presses buttons, however when it's fully under its fine. Must be that the water is acting as your fingers so when only half or part submerged it just presses there, however when it's completely under it doesn't quite know where to press, so it doesn't. If that makes any sense haha. My advice. Fully submerge and either start recording before, or for pictures, use the shutter button on the side
Attached is a quick one I just took

In small apps there is a touch block floating app. I'm pretty sure it's there so you can take underwater pictures without the screen going mental.

What's that? Is it a setting or an app you download?

Press the multitasking button, then the small grey arrow in the bottom left corner. There should be an icon called touch block right there. It's preinstalled on the phone.

I found that focusing on something out of the water then taking a picture underwater works best. But that's just me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm little confused. I know touch block already, but how can i take a pictures under water since I can't press the camera button ? using a timer ?
It just blocks the screen. Shutter button still works.

Absolutely. I've done it loads. Only way to take pics underwater. Personally I think that's the main reason why it's there

Thanks for all of your experiences and knowledge. I think all the answer is really helpful thanks everyone. Cheers :good::good:
You can try "Underwater Camera (Waterproof Camcorder)" , use the "VOLMUE UP / VOLMUE DOWN" button to start and stop the camera, and turn off the auto focus, focus on infinity.
