Hello,
I'm just asking something about taking pictures underwater. As far as I know, there are so many review about "video recording" not taking pictures under water using ur Z2.
So, maybe some of you already trying to take a pictures under water, as far as I know, you can take a Pictures if it on timer (i try it but no working) because it's not working when in the water. And another option is using smile detection, but it's not really effective i think,
The last thing i know is using camera button near the volume buttons, it's ok to using it under water ? Will the water coming in to the phones when i pressed it ? anybody have the experienced for this ?? thanks.
its IP58 Certifies meaning that with this phone you can almost do anything underwater exept open the flaps
underwater the screen doesent respont but you can use the camera button

Best way I've found is open the app, and either start the video then submerge the phone and video, or use the camera button to snap away.
I've found it only works when fully submerged. If only half the phone is under then the water presses buttons, however when it's fully under its fine. Must be that the water is acting as your fingers so when only half or part submerged it just presses there, however when it's completely under it doesn't quite know where to press, so it doesn't. If that makes any sense haha. My advice. Fully submerge and either start recording before, or for pictures, use the shutter button on the side
Attached is a quick one I just took

In small apps there is a touch block floating app. I'm pretty sure it's there so you can take underwater pictures without the screen going mental.

What's that? Is it a setting or an app you download?

Press the multitasking button, then the small grey arrow in the bottom left corner. There should be an icon called touch block right there. It's preinstalled on the phone.

I found that focusing on something out of the water then taking a picture underwater works best. But that's just me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm little confused. I know touch block already, but how can i take a pictures under water since I can't press the camera button ? using a timer ?
It just blocks the screen. Shutter button still works.

Absolutely. I've done it loads. Only way to take pics underwater. Personally I think that's the main reason why it's there

Thanks for all of your experiences and knowledge. I think all the answer is really helpful thanks everyone. Cheers :good::good:
You can try "Underwater Camera (Waterproof Camcorder)" , use the "VOLMUE UP / VOLMUE DOWN" button to start and stop the camera, and turn off the auto focus, focus on infinity.

Anybody having trouble with the camera button not working? Camera works only if i click the app. No ota updates installed. Doesn't work to launch app or to take pic or vid.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?
Mine seems to work just fine, I did install the OTA's though.
Well, maybe a hardware problem. The first phone they activated for me had a non functioning power button. They caught that before I left the store but never checked the camera button.

The red ring around the camera is coming loose on mine I contacted HTC they said call back next week.

I know I have to press and hold to launch the camera app from my homescreen.
You have to press and hold the camera button for about ten seconds before it opens

Coming from an iphone, the screen capture was simple, with this the message that pops up is a pain .. Any way of removing it?
Thanks

what is so painful? without the message how would you know you have successfully pressed both buttons and snapped a screenshot?
You could always install a third party app to take screenshots, even if your device is not rooted. I don't use Samsung's screenshot option. It' silly to press on 2 hardware buttons at once when i can install an app that can take screenshots when i launch it from the notification bar.

easy, it does a little animation like the iphone, The problem is when you are trying to take multiple consecutive screen captures the message is really annoying

Put your hand flat as if you are going to do a karate chop (as the above poster stated) and wipe it across the screen from right to left or left to right (just like a scanner scanning a piece of paper). This will trigger the screen capture.

Power + home pressed at exactly the same time. Hold for a second or 2 and done.

Two things. Need to make sure the swipe to screenshot shortcut is enabled in Settings > Motion. If this is ticked then it works if the front facing camera has enough light. So, in the same way that you need decent ambient light for the phone to check your eyes are open and to use face unlock, it needs the same for screenshots to work.

Hello I'm jonathan michael. And I was wondering if someone knows this app.
Description of the app:
This app needs of root access I think lolz. It has the options to turn to the next home screen by passing your hand true the phone without touching it and it don't use the front camera to be able to use this options. It also can turn the device off by passing your hand up or down left or right whatever the option you choosed, and you can do all this without touching the device or use the camera. It just like a hand motion thing. I'm hoping someone knows what's the name of this app!

Not sure about Changing the home screens.. But there is one app with which you can lock and unlock device by swiping fingers near display.. It's smart screen on/off

On my old tablet I could take a picture of me screen simply by pressing the previous app button, but this does not work on my Xperia. What's the best way of taking screenshots with this device?

Push and hold the power button. On the menu to turn it off there is a button to take a screenshot.

I prefer the mini app.
Tap the Recent Apps softkey and you should find it.

I tried that, but for some reason it would crop away the edges so I never had a full screenshot
I didn't notice this. Will check it tonight.
