Hi,
Yes I already found many topics about sounds of the galaxy S3 camera. I found the topic with the hack for sound http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136
However still having problems with sound. When I'm in camera mode to take a picture, it's fine. But in video mode, when I press the screen for the focus, I still have a big beep which isn't very nice for my ears.
So if anyone would give me a way to definitely disable this...
Thanks a lot!
Sorry for my poor English..

I'm not sure if I've just never noticed it before but after muting the camera shutter sound by turning the ringer down before opening the camera app, I now can hear a slight 'tick' or 'click' when I tap to focus. It's nothing like the 'clickity clicks' my OG Droid used to make when starting the camera BUT it does concern me a bit. I baby my phone/ haven't dropped it or had an impact etc.
[Q]: Does anyone else out there in XDA land hear this sound?
Thanks,
Derek
SEARCH!!!

I feel like it's the normal sound I'd expect from a focusing lens... every digital camera i'd ever had made that noise...
I did a search but apparently I either didn't use the right key words or am totally incompetent (which happens after a few... )
Thanks.
The search here really isn't that great. I alwts use Google to search xda and its a million times better

I can't get third party camera apps to turn off their shutter sound. I have tried CameraZoom FX and ICS Camera both of which have a setting that allows your to turn the shutter sound on or off. On my Note the toggles dont do anything - when I take a picture I get an overly loud "Click". I realize that in certain countries you can't turn off the camera sound but I have never had that problem on my GS2 and the stock app on the Note has the same toggle which actually works - when I set it to silent there is no shutter sound. I prefer CameraZoom to the stock camera app but I would like to find a way to tone down or silence the camera shutter sound. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or maybe someone can enlighten me on how to silence these third party app when snapping photos. Thanks.
There's nothing you can do to turn on/off the sound that I was able to find. Do a search in the forum (I can't remember the name of the sound file exactly) - but I just ended up renaming the shutter sound. I know when I'm taking a picture... and that shutter was so loud that it would make my dog wake up and bark. (He's a few bricks short of a house...)
Thanks. Glad to know I am not going crazy. I have seen threads for other phones about modifying the shutter sound file. Looks like I will be giving that a try on my Note.

Hey. I had this exact same issue. The file you want to rename (I amended it by adding ".bak" to it) is /system/media/audio/ui/shutter_01.ogg

Sweet that worked like a charm..now if only we could do the same for the notification sound that comes on in the middle of the night for "Phone fully charged. Please disconnect." Wakes me every time! I'm trying a few sound files but its a bit harder to test, as you can imagine. Any ideas?

Bingo.
To remove the notification sound for when the battery is fully charged, I renamed the following file: /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Battery_Caution.ogg , using velveteen71's method.
[Need Root Explorer, of course]

Nice! Good work.
Hello all,
i was wondering if there is a mod for controlling the camera focus manually using some keys, eg: volume up/down,
because the AF always gets wrong for my macro shots..
hope my question is clear..
Please suggest any option available..
alas, NOBODY, even UNDERSTANDS what i am TALKING about... :silly:
In the same boat...

I understand exactly what you are talking about! I'm currently looking for the same kind of app. I can see that my phone can focus a lot closer than it realises. "Marco Mode" Sometimes helps but still... not ideal. If I find a solution, I'll repost here.
hello all...
was just wondering if i can lock the focus while shooting in 4k mode ? Coz leaving it on auto in bad light causes blurred videos...
actually...ive noticed u cant lock focus on ALL video modes...!
Is that correct ? Or am i missing something?
I have been annoyed by this too! It's frustrating to have it constantly refocus itself.

Sony needs to rework the entire camera software as alot of stuff are missing and/or needs fixing (i have complete confidence the hardware is top notch...just the softwate quality doesnt quite match it).
Unfortunately for us, a good camera is hardware + software. For Z2 to become a great camera phone (from just a good one) we need:
- ISO preview (you can change it but you can't see the effect on the screen)
- all modes available on 15 and 20 MPx
- better software alltogether
right, so just to confirm and clarify
- there is no way to change how the focus works?
- it can't be set not to refocus every few seconds?
- is there any chance it will ever be fixed in an update, eg. lolipop? Could someone confirm if it isnt already fixed?
To be honest, the video recording is terrible, the image is sharp and blur on and off, making the video unwatcheable and makes the film-watchers question, whether I used my calculator to record a video. This is riduculous with this kind of phone ('best camera phone there is')
Just trying to work out if I have a duff or not. The shutter button seems extremely sensitive when pressed halfway, only need to barely touch it when focusing. Not generally an issue but when in gallery, the slightest touch will open the camera which is very annoying.
Is this normal?
They do it as well as me. Try another galleries, QuicPic example, there do not do it
