[Request] - Pre-Flash / focus light Camera Focus for Dark Photos - HTC Amaze 4G

This is for any ROM's / App developers out there listening
Pre-Flash Camera for a great for the camera to focus on Dark Photos being taken or it would be nice or an option to turn the LED light on while in camera mode. Thanks Jon
When you take a picture in a dark area where hardly any light is exposed and you know it will be out of focus then you press the shutter button, a light appears lighting up the area and the camera then focuses and after that takes the shot.
TAG pre flash, focus light, led light focus
The IPhone has this. Why can't the Amaze have it too since it was compared to the IPhone for taking photos and it coming above the iphone.

Doesn't it already do this? At least it does on the stock ICS rom, i think.

I just turn on the flashlight then go into camera. Works like a charm!

That's what I end up doing. Hassle that you have to quit camera mode if you forgot to turn it on.

You have to turn it on through the pull down menu in quick settings

Oh it must be an ICS rom feature. I'm still on a Gingerbread Rom and don't have the flashlight in the quick settings.

Volume rocker for zoom function

I want to start by saying that I searched before I decided to post this question. With that said, is there a mod that would allow the volume rocker to be used for the zoom function with the stock camera? I find it really annoying to have a shutter button and still have to touch the screen to zoom. I had this function on my 3D and really miss it.

Anyone?

That would be killer! Hopefully a dev can cook something up...
+1 for this
This would be a useful mod, +1 to you for asking. I think I'll follow this thread just to see how this turns out

I had this when I had my 3D and my galaxy nexus. Very cool mod.

+1 for this option to. I truly miss having it. It seemed easier to zoom in and out more accurately than pinching and prodding the screen. Volume rocker to zoom in and zoom out camera lens for pics and video

Camera pic

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.

Camera Settings?

My camera really seems to be worse than the S3 so I am starting to think I don't have the settings tweaked. Should I be at the 13 Megapixel setting or 9? Also the pictures are good with flash but the ones without them are worse than my S3 in similar lighting by far!
13mp is a 4:3 aspect ratio, while 9mp is 16:9. I personally prefer 4:3 for photos so I use 13mp.

I agree. I have been disappointed in the camera when compared to my S3. The camera feels slower and I have more blurry pics than I did with my S3.

Try the anti-shake setting. That helped

Yeah, the anti-shake setting does seem to help, but taking pictures in a dim environment (inside my house) without the flash is difficult. Also, for indoor pictures, I've noticed that the actual picture taken looks darker than what is seen on the screen at the time of taking the picture.

It doesn't take a really good picture low light. I usually have flash on auto. and also set my phone to dynamic.

So, your phone doesn't show a darker picture in the Gallery than what's actually on the screen when the shutter closes? And my screen is set to Standard...does that matter?

Yeah, auto-flash and anti-shake seems to be the way to go for dim environments.

Thanks for this fellas. I've not had a chance to use mine inside yet and this is great information to have. Although I do mostly take outside pictures I'm sure the time will come.

With it set on dynamic it makes it brighter on the phone overall. Of course the phone isn't going to be able to take really great low-light pictures but it makes your screen brighter with more vibrant colors.

Great Camera App for AOSP ROMs. Working HDR!!!!!

Found this in the market last night and bought it for 99¢… its also on XDA for free but I gladly bought it. Try it out. Won't be disappointed.

It does nothing different than the normal camera app. Yes, the standard camera app also does HDR. In fact your link clearly states it. It is a modified Android 4.2 camera for Android 2.3+.
If you use the cm camera and HDR it looks horrid to me. I can take an HDR pic with the Google edition camera and it looks great. Same picture with the CM camera come out so dark you can't see it. This one comes out the same as the Google Edition camera but actually works on AOSP. So to me and apparently others it is a nice camera.

This. It seems AOSP cam is only keeping the low light portion of the HDR shot. With this app you can also manipulate your storage location, change the fps on video recording, keep the originals of your HDR shot before processing, etc. Its a killer app and has rounded out the features on AOSP for me.

All this and more. The AOSP camera HDR setting is dark and produces sub par pictures for my taste. This is a great alternative. Was missing the pop that TW camera software gave you with the HDR setting.
Love your username. LoL

Front camera image flipped bug

Anyone else notice that the front camera pictures are mirrored? I noticed when taking a picture of some text using the front camera. The words backwards like looking into a mirror.
Not a bug. There is an option in the settings for this. Just turn it off.

Mirror Reflection in settings is what fixed it. Thank You!
