Its not a bug, when you select HDR mode you can see the message saying something like "you need hold the camera still as it takes some time to capture image in HDR mode."

Guys I have noticed that my Atrix does not focus on something when I'm close to it like 5"-10". Basically I get blury image in camcorder and camera view. Is this normal?

When using the camera, try setting it to "Macro" in the Scenes selection. As for the camcorder, it might take a little time for it to focus on something up close.
I tried macro setting already but it didn't make a difference. How close can you get to lets say page with text on it so you don't lose focus?

I can get right up to 3 inches away, which is about as good as you're going to get with a camera on a phone. Lighting has a lot to do with it as well I think.
well I got the camera to work, I didn't hold the button to focus duh! but the video camera still does not focus upclose. Is the focus automatic or is there a way to focus manualy? How close can you video something with focus?

I think someone has mentioned before that the camcorder on the Atrix is NOT auto focus or continuous focus. It probably won't do close ups.
Hi all.
Recently I've noticed that it takes about 5 (!) seconds from the minute I press the camera button till the shot is actually being taken.
Anyone noticed it?
Someone knows a solution?
Are there any better alternatives to the stock camera app?
Thanks!
Has to do with the focus. It needs to focus to get a nice and sharp picture.

But also when I set the focus to macro or face detection it takes a lot of time
Ive had this issue also. The shutter time is horrible. I have an app called tasker which allows me to change the amount of time it takes for the camera to take the picture once i press the button.
Thanks, Will try that
Unfortunately, tasker is like 6bucks, but well worth it. It does WAY more than just fix the shutter lag. As far as i know, there isnt an app to fix just the lag on the cam. I havent found one anyways..
Take your phone outside when it's bright. Take a shot. The focus and capture should be near instantaneous. If not, then it's a hardware fault and you should have your phone replaced.
If it works, then the reason your cam was slow is due to insufficient lighting. You can't expect any camera to focus and capture instantly in low-light environments. Maxing out the ISO setting will help with the shutter speed but you'll end up with disgusting noisy pictures.
How does Tasker fix the shutter lag???
I use fast burst camera app. It can take 5 pics in quick burst or just single shots. Photos are taken the instant you hit the button

5 pics burst, the image size is disgustingly small from what I hear. But the single pic shot, is that full resolution?
Has anyone heard or seen any demos/reviews/preview videos of someone taking a video and re-focusing by touching the screen? Relying on only autofocus on the S2 made many unfocused videos unwatchable.
The One S has it (I played with it), as well as iPhone and the Razr.
YAY! Update:
According to the manual, touch to focus while recording video is confirmed!
5 Select [REC button] to start recording.
●● To change the focus, tap where you want to focus. To
focus on the centre of the screen, select [AF button].
●● To capture an image from the video while recording,
select [STILL SHOT button].
6 Select [REC button] to stop recording.
The video is saved automatically.

Update 2:
On another note, it looks like anti-shake is available for video, too, unless it was a copy/paste mistake from the Photo/Still Camera section of the manual.
Anti-Shake
Activate the anti-shake feature to reduce
blur caused by the device’s vibration or
movement.

On TW ROMs while taking a video? Are we talking ICS? I haven't tried taking a video on a TW ICS ROM yet.
Regarding the S2, I'm not the only one who sees this limitation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541019
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471112
Anyways, I'm concerned because I know stock ICS doesn't do it, so I hope the S3's camera app finally has TOF while videoing.
I flashed to the stock ICS TW ROM and verified that touching the screen while videoing does not allow for Touch-to-Focus, either. There's nothing in the settings to allow it either. When I touch while videoing, it says "Zooming is not supported while recording Full HD Video". When not filming at 1080p, it just zooms instead of focus.
Are you using a custom ROM, 3rd party app, or modified camera.apk?
Yeah I've seen many videos where this was done, Samsung even added automatic face recognition when you take a photo and instantly sends them to all your friends in that photo.
That's all fine and dandy, but sometimes, you want to control where you want to focus. Short of an unfriendly manual focus slider, touch-to-focus is a quick way to kick the focus algorithm in gear.
Relying on the auto focus to adjust itself doesn't work well on the S2. Sometimes it tries to refocus when it's already in focus and everything becomes blurry for the next 2-3 minutes, ruining the video. Happens a lot in low-light conditions (indoor).

Hi,
I had been using camera fv5 for taking long shutter shots after setting intervals(the time for exposure,the no. of photos or length of the video). I then merge all these to get videos. Recently it stopped working while I click interval button. Is there any app as efficient as camera fv 5 in taking multiple shots for a long period of time(after setting everything), I tried out many but I couldnt find none.
If anyone of have any idea regarding this please provide the name of the app capable of this sort of thing
Thanks in advance
