Hello,
I know this is a Stupid Question.I want to Have a Excellent Quality of Pics with Camera.Can you guys give me few Suggestions about it or the Settings came with Mobile are good no need to change?
Let me say it this way.
It's not the camera takes excellent shots. It's you.
I'm rather experienced photographer and this is an advice i may give you free of charge
Nah, just joking, but there's no joke saying you (not the camera) are responsible for quality of your shots... first of all Samsung's phones by default take good pics, you may change many diffrent setting, where I suggest you work with:
* White Balance
* Using flash light (or avoiding using of)
* Exposure compensation etc..
But that's just a headache really! The most important thing is to know how to compose shots. Color, contrast, lines, curves, points, expression, dynamics or a lack of, sharpness or a lack of (whatever you think is required) etc, etc... after all you just need to shoot as much as you can to find out how YOU see the world. Simple
You need to realize one thing, there are many photographers having gear (DSLRs, flashes, softboxes) worth thousand$$$$ but still taking crappy shots while there are also passionates who owns simple devices and shot f**ng amazing stuff, for instance just search for "The best camera is the one that's with you" at Books.Google.com, one lad published (in real world, bookstores etc) an album containig photographs taken with a bloody iphone! And these shots are truly pure genius mate!
Once again: It's not the camera - it's you!
Good luck!

ok so Ive decide on going with the HTC Droid Dna. but i have a question i was looking at the note 2 and I like taking a lot of photos and video and from what i can tell in the review their is a white balance issue that will be corrected with a software update, but what i really want to know is their a way or a camera app to give my some of the features the Galaxy Note 2 has in particular share shoot, buddy shot, and the effect to take a photo and only so the blues or reds?
I'll post here if you don't mind....
Should we expect a hack that wiil allow as to shoot 1080p at High Profile L4.x at 20Mbps,30Mbps,40Mbps and No compression for jpeg photos?
I know that there is already such a hack for other HTC phone. Will it work on this one too?

These two apps are amazing if you want more control of your camera.
I have been a pro photographer for years and shoot with a pro quality Canon DSLR.
Lately I have almost never felt like dragging that camera around with me, but like most people these days I ALWAYS have my phone with me.
I used to carry a tiny point and shoot Canon with me along with my phone but that's a PITA also. None of my previous phones really thrilled me with their camera performance (including the two Rezounds I still have) but the camera in my N2 has been giving me super results with these two apps.
CameraZoom FX is a little easier to use as it doesn't have a bar of controls across the bottom of the screen that you need to keep your fingers away from. FV-5 does have more features however (the controls are basically a clone of a DSLR) and it has one feature that no other camera app has. It has the ability to save as a png which is a RAW file with no jpeg compression.
PNGs take longer to save/view and are bigger files but give a higher quality image than a compressed jpeg.
CameraZoom has a feature that I use occasionally that will take a picture with a voice command. Set it on that and then say smile and a few seconds later it shoots the image. Here is a pic I took with CameraZoom inside using available light. I printed an 8"x10" print from this and nobody can believe it came from a phone.

I did a bunch more testing this morning after another poster said that the anti-shake feature drastically reduced image quality.
I never used that feature, I learned years ago to hold a camera dead still myself but I was curious about that claim.
Turns out, the poster was exactly right. The images I took using as basically suck.
They are MUCH grainier than the exact same shot without that feature turned on.
I believe voice commands are available with s-voice and the stock camera.

I didn't realize that, I stumbled across the feature in CameraZoom while looking for something else.
There are so many cool options in these two apps that some are bound to duplicate the stock app features, but these two apps make all these options MUCH easier to get to and to use.
EDIT: I just looked through the options/settings in the stock TW camera app and didn't see any option for voice activation.
It may still be there and I overlooked it, but this just reinforces what I knew all along, all the options in these other apps are easily available with one fast click. You don't have to dig through menus of stuff trying to find or enable/disable a feature.

I use Camera FV-5 over the stock camera just because of the quality of pics it takes.
I too find the N2 camera to be quite good and I just purchased FV5 to see how far I can take it. I haven't spent very much time with it yet however.
One thing I love about my DSLR is that I can set separate buttons for focus and exposure. Any way to do that with FV5?

I agree 100%.
I'm not saying you can't take a good pic with the stock camera app, but it's much easier and a lot more fun using an app like FV-5.
It definitely beats the stock app quality wise if you save as a png file which is not even an option with the stock camera (I'm not sure why not)

Not exactly how you're saying, but you can lock both the AF and the exposure so you can recompose and keep the exposure or AF point.
If you read through all the options/help docs etc on the site I posted it will explain all the options pretty well actually.

This is another good app.
The preview screen is smaller, but it gives you access to all the settings from one screen.

Exposure lock, that's it. I was having a brain fart. Thanks for the link!
WOW, talk about good service. I was using the shot control app I posted and realized the ISO setting did not work.
I sent the developer an email about it and 20 minutes later I got this response:

Thank you for any help, and thank you for contacting me.

Attached was a new version of the app and it works perfectly.
That's great. At your recommendation i purchased FV5 and i'm very impressed so far.

Yea me too.
FV-5 is my favorite, I find it's the closest thing to DSLR controls.

Wait so let me get this straight...
ONLY the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 has something special about making it harder for the app to access the ISO settings? Did I read that right?
Hello everyone, I bought the pocophone, waiting for it to arrive, but one thing I saw on the spec sheet I didn't like so much was that 4k recording was 30fps - only. I then found this article from geeksultd.com saying that slo-mo also isn't an option, but that the head of POCO said they would implement it if they get enough interest from the community.
That's almost a "killer feature" for me, so Id like to know if something like GCam will work or if it has to be implemented as a low-level thing.
Essentially, my question is where do you sign up, Because it's always better to have it in the native app...
"The community" Is that here, or do you have to go on the official Xiaomi forums?
Lastly, I'm a noob here, so if I didn't post right, please tell me!

Well that's great but I've still got questions :
1. Is there no option for [email protected]?
and
2. Were should I go to ask for [email protected]?
4k Being the most important feature to me.

4k 60fps is not availble or enabled right now and so if we can make enough fuss about it Devs may enable it future OTA but you can try 3rd party camera apps like OpenCamera and see if you shoot 4k 60fps
but i did check my phone now for 480fps and i don't find it camera app, sorry i took the info from their website

Hi everyone
First of all, sorry for my english & sorry if i write like a children jeje
Te point is that!
Someone knows, the way to recorder with the mode dual-view, but, with the front and the rear camera at the same time?? , i think that the possibilities are most interesting than if you use the 2 rear cameras.
May be better possibility, It may be better possibility, to be able to choose the 2 cameras that are going to record.
Greetings
PD: I'm sorry, if this is not the right place to write this question
It's not possible to record a video using the front and back camera.
Wasn't that nokias selling point when they started ads last year
Yeah, Samsung's could do that too
