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

Thanks! Good tip I never thought of that!

Is this a fault of the rom? [UnName 1.0.3]
or is it the stock app? Are there any better apps for using the camera that are faster and won't pause for 2 seconds after I've hit the shutter button?
[EDIT]
Also I do have blink detection and anti-shake on, but with these off, its about a half second or so quicker to shoot, still I would like a snappier shooter if possible as I would like to use my phone's awesome camera as a point and shoot. It would also be cool if the lock/power button could be used as a shutter button when in use with the camera app if possible.
Any tips?
I think the shutter delay issue is just part of the phone.
As to the power button question, I believe they are working on modding the camera apk presently to allow for the usage of that as well as using the camera at any battery level(it usually disables it below 15%)

Good to know, thanks. Hope the improvements roll out soon.
The other day I was using my camera and trying out different effects when it just froze. The shutter/setting buttons were all there but the viewer was black and I couldn't click on anything. I couldn't even hit back to exit the app, only by hitting home. Even force closing the app/clearing cache and opening it back up didn't help - had to reboot. Then the same thing happened shortly after, but hasn't happened since.
Has this happened to anyone else?
weird. That kinda happened to me the other day. But i dont recall if I was playing with effects first, but screen was all just black (no, my hand wasn't in front of it lol) and couldn't push buttons or back. Had to hit Home. But, FCing it worked for me. Minor glitch. Much more minor than my general shutter lag and blurry pics. Need to go to a store to compare my hardware.

Yeah the fact that I was playing with effects might be coincidence. Luckily it hasn't happened again, but saying that I haven't been using the camera much.
But you might want to look into the shutter lag because mine takes pics super fast!

I haven't had that specific problem, but the "shutter" lag here also - very frustrating. Hold shutter release down, listen to the "burst" mode shoot what sounds like 15 - 20 photos, review and find 3.
It's maddening. Although I think it's a lighting situation... still. Don't make a shutter clicking sound if you aren't actually making a photo..

I'm with you there, I wouldn't say I have shutter lag, but a lot of the times it will make 2 clicks when I only take 1 photo, 3 clicks for 2 photos etc. Always seems to be one more shutter sound. Obviously it's not a lag issue like yours is, but it's clear that the phone just plays the continuous shutter sound when holding the button down, rather than the click sound corresponding with each picture taken. Can be annoying.
Pictures look normal except for close ups, the autofocus will do its thing and when its adjusting, for a split second its crystal clear then keeps adjusting and goes blurry. Pictures look great from normal difference. I tried with flash on and off.

Try focusing it on a specific object close up with your finger before taking the pic.
Have you tried the Macro (close up) scene setting? I just tried it and it works great.

This helped a lot, It seems as if only in "real light" will it focus properly.
Hey guys,
I've noticed that any kind of blur in my phone makes it very laggy and slow. I tried for example having notification area blurred with one of those big xposed mods, don't remember the name now, and it was super slow.Going into the camera and changing modes, where there is blur, makes everything too not very nice.
Could you guys check if it's also slow for you in the camera or is it just my phone?

Yeah, happened to me when I blurred the notifications area with an xposed mod. When I swiped down to open it, it was very laggy and the frame rate was very low.

Just reboot the phone after you apply it. It should be alright after that.
And how about camera guys? Does blur give you low framerate?
EDIT: And offtopic question about camera. When you tap to focus, do you hear a sound and the sights turn blue? They only do for me after I touch to focus and click on screen camera button to take a shot or when I click the hardware camera button halfway.
Got both my wife and mum this phone for xmas, but we are really disappointed with photos taken by it. Even when taken in reasonable lighting conditions, photos tend to look really soft and blurry, despite the preview shown on screen looking nice and sharp. It isn't finger trouble (moving whilst shooting), it appears to either be poor auto-focus kicking in when hitting the soft-shutter button, or it is really badly compressing the images (although it is set to 100% quality). Any tips gratefully received!

Hello,
Try disabling the zero shutter lag in the camera app's settings, that improves a lot for me.
Have you tried changing the mode of the camera (swipe down/up in camera app), or maybe a third party camera app from the play store (if nothing else works) ? Also if possible use flash, trust me it improves your photo a lot.

Thanks for the tips - I'll give them a try when the wife surfaces and let you know how I get on.
Haven't had much joy - perhaps just expecting too much from the phone. It really does look like it is just making a mess of the compression.
Stock camera app is a trash (as most stock apps).
What problem with installing external camera app? Apps like "Camera FV-5" have a LOT of options.
