I can not find the method to use to take a selfie with the front facing camera. It says you can do it in the manual but does not tell you how to do it. Any one try this?
Thanks, dhatw.
Start the camera application, press the menu button to bring up the bottom menu. Press the cog wheel to bring up the settings dialogue, and press the button marked "Camera" to toggle between the front and rear cameras.

it actually cycles through 3 different camera modes: rear camera, front camera and front camera (mirrored).
Thank you!!

Hey everyone, I just got my 8525 and have been playing around with a few customizations. One of the things that bugs me about the original button layout is that the placement of the camera button makes it nearly impossible to use the camera with only one hand (at least I always feel like I'm going to drop the phone).
So, I got the PTT patch (thanks Slueth255!) to map the camera to that button. However, it looks like any function can only be mapped to one button at a time, so the original button has to be remapped first. It works great in portrait mode, but in landscape, either the button is on the bottom of the phone or the display is upside-down. Is there a way to map two buttons to the same function? Or better yet, is there any way to rotate the camera display? Has anyone else found a better way to use the camera one-handed?
Thanks,
Sar

Trying to work out at what stage your problem is. I turn on TyTn with thumb, move thumb along to camera button and then take picture with central D Pad button.

Thanks for the tip about using the center D-pad button to take a picture, it makes things a little easier. I realized after trying to take a pic that switching the camera function to the PTT button won't work. It will activate the camera program as expected, but once in camera mode, you still have to push the original camera button (or D-pad) to take a shot.
After some more playing around, I found that you can take a pic with the scroll wheel button as well, which makes it easier, but not perfect. You still have to reach for the camera button to switch to camera mode and the scroll wheel is not good for taking pictures as it will change camera modes with a scroll if your press is not dead center.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to take out the phone and snap a quick spur-of-the-moment picture without too much fumbling around. Typically, I hold the phone in my left hand with my index finger near the power button and thumb near the PTT button. Or, in landscape mode, index finger on the PTT button and thumb about halfway between camera and comm button (with the D-pad resting in the palm). Moving all the camera button functionality to the PTT button would really be great. Getting the camera program to run inverted would also be nice, but I could probably learn to live with having all my pics turn out upside-down.

Yes, I see. I just tried it left handed and it is more difficult due to button positions. I also agree about scroll wheel push you have to be spot on with press else you end scrolling to another function.
Hopefully others will have some more tips/tricks.

I aint sure if this can help..but in case go to menu > system > personal > buttons and change it from there
the Standy button isn't a normal hardkey.
therefore it can't be reassigned i think.

yep u r right
I'd suggest you assign the Camera button as "ok" that way the camera won't launch if you hit it by mistake. It just means you'll have to use an on-screen shortcut to start the camera. Once the camera is open, the button will function as normal.

Okay... Thanks for the tip! Think i'll go that way... Still better than always shutting down the cam...
as we fix it?
My hardkey is change!
the error is the conection, the keyboard and the motherboard of phone
My HTC work!!!
I have changed camera button by the same reason. I changed this button configuration in Start>Configuration>Buttons and I assigned <Today> to Button1 (camera button) After that i put camera link in Start Menu Start>Configuration>Menus just check camera, maybe you shuld uncheck any other one before check it.
My WM is in spanish so sorry if locations are not exactly or have a different/similar name.
Hi guys
I've searched the web and this forum but haven't been able to find anything. I've got the R2AA010 rom installed, and the camera button no longer takes photos.
When I press the camera button the camera application starts up as normal. But to take a picture I have to press the action key now. This is annoying because I can no longer to the half press to make the camera focus.
Is there a way to change the camera button mapping in the camera application back to the camera button?
thanks
Hey guys,
as I watched the presentation of the iPhone 3GS, I noticed that the HD camera only focuses when the capture button is pressed, which leads to a pretty long delay in taking the picture.
The iPhone 3GS focuses automatically and immediately takes the picture when the capture is pressed.
Can we somehow modify the HD camera to focus before we press the capture button and then immediately take the picture when the button is pressed? Any ideas?
.
uuh no,
just press the shoot button
nice answer but useless...
Just to put my two bits in, I agree with maati that focus before pressing the capture button would be a huge improvement.

That's not the only way.
You can also just tap the screen if you have touch focus set to "on".
But - granted - it is still not "auto focus".
The camera does auto focus when you first turn it on. It would be nice if it could keep that afterwards too.
Yes, even if you tap the screen to focus, the camera needs to focus again when you press the captue button. I'd like it to take the picture instantly.
I think you are talking about focus lock, so the camera just has to capture image when the shoot button is pressed as it has alrady focused. This would be a huge improvement.

Exactly. Any ideas?
Just realised something pressing down the camera key and home button together when the screen is off activates the camera similar to the Xperia S saving you even more time then having to slide the camera key. Pressing the camera key on its own doesn't, but good to see Sony gave it to arc users
thought I'd share
Does it work on the beta too? I can't try it because my current ROM has camera button for wake enabled...

Fast capture is shooting photo in "blind mode" and you're just turning on camera ; d but still good though.
Thanks for the info! I didn't know that this existed
You don't need to press both buttons together. Just press the home button first to wake device and then press the camera key.

Yup and this works when you are in any app I guess.Hard press camera key & camera will be on & other app will be minimized useful feature tbh

Yes I know, but its quicker to do that then press them separately in two stages and is less like the fast capture on the XS then
I didn't knew that!
Thanks!
