Yup very nice feature indeed i found that out when i was trying to figure out what imagesense was awhile ago lol

I've always thought the color was a bit off with the camera. Hdr mode seems to fix that.

I have trouble holding the phone still enough for HDR to work properly

From time to time I have the same problem. However, to stabilize my phones image, I usually avoid pushing the dedicated camera button and choose the on-screen button, it helps me at times.

I really hope we get a proper focus option for the two-stage camera button. It would be really nice.

Yeah LS, I completely agree. I'm not sure the purpose of the "soft press" right now honestly.

Very different picture results, same lighting/settings in camera

Hello People,
So I just took a picture of the room I'm in and in the first shot I got this.
Came out nice right? I decided the picture was a little tilet so I took another shot, without changing a single setting and got this:
Why is the first one so nice and rich but the second one is all washed out?? I can't for the life of me get the camera to take another picture that looks like the first one. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here and how I can replicate the initial results?
That's the white balance setting kicking in. The first time it thought you were outside so it changed the white balance for daylight. The second time it realized you were inside so it adjusted it for incandescent lighting. I've only noticed it switch between those two, so if you want a better picture select it yourself.
Go to menu>white balance>and change 'auto' to the best setting for whatever room you are in.
Ha thanks! THat was it! Although, leaving it on auto gives the washed out picture. Changing it to "daylight" while inside gives the nice deep color
That "rich" color you are referring to is totally off and looks horrible! The second one is correct, notice that the whites are actually white??? The Daylight setting is overcompensating a yellow filter to correct the blue cast that would be there if you were outside in the sun like the setting indicates...
I have to agree with jsls

+2 The 2nd photo has a more natural balance to it. If your using AWB....dont. Auto anything never gives consistent results.

To get the results it seems that you want just use a sepia filter and it will give it that warm look. If you want a "correct" picture the second one is the way to go however. If you like the look then go with it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah I think you might be a little color blind, because the second pic looks so much better. The color actually stand out. The whites are white not yellow like the first pic. And look at the computer screen, the colors look good.
I like the first one cause it looks like it was taken back in 1912 and sat on the old print out paper in my grandma's closet till this morning.
Dude really?
Let me clarify if you have a light source in shot the auto adjustment will kick in.

Microsift's Smoked by Windows Phone seems to pick on the uneducated

So I saw the story this morning about someone being cheated out of the Smoked by Windows Phone challenge and what not... First time I heard about this marketing campaign actually so I looked at Microsoft's page for it which is lined with YouTube videos showing how it's faster than any other phone...
The first 2 videos (all i've looked at so far) are "let's see who can take a picture and upload it to facebook the fastest." Of course WP7 wins every time, but what I'm shocked at is their balls to make a dedicated camera button the selling point as if it's a new thing. "If I hold this dedicated camera button on the side, it opens the camera..." Yeah, I can do that too. Then he points out 1 button upload to Fb - swipe left to right on camera to show preview, tap to upload. Yeah, for us, tap preview, tap image to open share option. And everyone seems to be mesmerized by this crap they don't realize they already have! (ok, not everyone has the dedicated camera button)
You could argue that most people don't know how to use Android. Well... same could be said for any new device... They're just picking on those that don't know.
If you want to see for yourself...

Try holding it down -- phone should give you some haptic feedback and then open the camera.
Of course, on the 3D, you can just drag the camera icon into your unlock ring and achieve the same thing.
I just tried myself. Pressed the power button, dragged the camera icon into the unlock ring, snapped a pic, pressed the "Share" icon that appears during the short after-shot preview, and had I wanted to, I could've hit the Facebook option (I didn't ... who wants to see a pic of my monitor??). It took roughly 4 or 5 seconds, less if I were younger and could move faster

I did see that. I didn't wanna turn it into a discussion about that whole thing. I was amazed at how they're trying to spin their whole camera thing. Watching some more, yeah... there are some other things they're more efficient with. But it's still an ugly and uninteresting OS.

Cool so our phone will have this feature like the One S if we ever get sense 4.0 running
Our phone already got this feature. Actually, when i was back in Sensation we were using a ported camera from amaze to get the burst and panorama feature. to take burst shos, go select it as the shooting mode
What i like about the One S camera is taking picture while recording a video

Yeah, downloaded it already and it looks pretty slick. Don't think I'm gonna use it; but just keeping the app though.
The focus seems off though if I move the phone around while taking the picture...

True. This app functions but its not nearly up to the same quality as the one Ss burst mode. The one S can burst up to 99 shots with hardly any delay between shots at all. This app has substantially more delay than the one S burst mode, but its still pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see if anyone ports the one S camera over to the amaze the way they did the sensation.

[Q] Eye scroll

My buddy just got the s4 and the eye scroll on web pages is sick. Just wondering if any devs think its possible to get that on the note 2.

Hmm maybe, but I don't know what hardware it would use that we don't already have. It's just the front facing camera and gyroscope/accelerometer I believe. It sees you're looking at the screen then you tilt for it to scroll. So maybe it could be possible, but assuming the actual code for that was created by Samsung, it's probably close-sourced.
In that case, OP, don't you think something like this would've already existed before the GS4 if it could've been done? It's not really a revolutionary idea, but the coding itself may be pretty complicated. My guess is that if programming U.I. behavior based on the coordination of multiple sensors was within the capabilities of developers before Samsung threw money at it, then it would've been an app on the play store already.
Of course, I have no idea if that's the case regarding our XDA developers or Samsung's, I'm just guessing.
Its not the gyro it's a second Gen digitizer thst has some hardware build in can't recall the name momentarily but there is a Swype app that you can wave your hand up and down and it will scroll that uses the gyro

"Super Camera" app for G2

Hi all,
I was pointed to this thread on another forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427019
The intro is in Chinese, but once you scroll through it you get to the English menus and interface.
I downloaded the most recent version (3.5) and installed it on my rooted G2. Boy! What a better app! Seems to have a better AE method and there are a lot of very cool options to toy with while retaining manual control.
I've been using it for an hour now and I really like it.

I noticed that too, but when you actually take the picture it does pre-AF and I've had excellent results. Didn't screw around with manual focus yet.
Loved this app on my HTC one, haven't really played with it on my g2 though

i don't like camera zoom much..but this is damn good. i love all the settings.

funny thing i noticed though..in video, mode, it shows a couple stuck white pixels.
they aren't there on the stock camera. i'm wondering if the software is a bit glitchy when it comes to third party video cameras. i noticed this on the GPE camera as well. weird right?
I've been comparing some identical shots between stock camera and super camera, and I'm surprised to see that Super Camera actually looks better. There is more detail and it's a little darker so it doesn't appear washed out. I wouldn't have complained about the stock camera since it's great, but this looks even better.
I haven't tried many lighting conditions, so it might be worse in some cases. I haven't tried video either, but I noticed an option for image stabilization. I think it's software stabilization, but I wonder if it works in conjunction with OIS. Anyone know?

EDIT: I tried a lot more pics, and it turns out that the stock camera is actually more detailed when viewing at 100%. It also is more color accurate. The super camera isn't bad at all though.
This is a great camera app. Thanks for sharing this!

I like the low light option in super camera, seems sharper. It takes and blends two exposures.
What's cool about super camera is you can change the metering, something that's lacking in the stock camera

I just want a camera app that allows me more control over the JPG settings, amount of NR applied, compression, etc. Hell, if there was a RAW option, I'd be estatic!
