Hi Everyone,
I am actually probably 1/100 who actually likes the camera button on the vogue, because of the quick access to the camera. Despite constant accidental pressing, I still leave the button enabled so I can snap parking stall ID numbers when parking around town (www.parkplus.ca).
My problem is that usually I hit the button by accident, and the camera settings change to the crappy portrait mode instead of 2mp.
Is there any way to kill all the other camera modes, and just have it set to 2mp no matter what?
Thanks!

hi
is anyone elses button for the camera on the side of the phone really sensitive and keep activating without pressing it ?
No problem here, but they all are sensitive I think. (on my Niki and the Elf from my girlfriend)
Mine was real sensitive, i've switched it off, have to select camera from the start menu or the gallery.
I have one big issue with my phone,
and that if I start up the phone especially if I use sport or burst mode the camera doen't shut down,
I then get loads of artifacts over the display, I have to do a soft reset,
I'm guessing this is the reason it wasn't enabled by default.
Just wondering if its just me or if anyone has the same issue.?
I noticed that as long as I don't touch the screen to choose a point for the camera to focus on, it won't autofocus.
It should be like that?... will it focus only if I choose the point manually by touching the screen?...
Hold down the take photo button and it will auto-focus, release and photo.. I've noticed many cameras do it this way, but I too wish there were a way to tell the phone to always autofocus completely before taking a photo (I might be wrong, but I do get the impression too that it doesn't)
you can also go into the camera menu, and tick the check box to be on all the time
helps a lot of shaky hands like me
I am trying to get my focus to utilize the shop savvy app, but it doesn't take as good of close ups as my TP2, is there a setting or anything I need to change. Thanks in advanced.
When you fire up the camera, go into settings. Click "AF Mode", and choose "Macro". That should do the trick.
The other thing is to experiment with the flash off, or shoot at a slight angle to minimize glare.
Unfortunately, as you probably know, the camera settings always revert back to the defaults every time you exit the camera. That's one of the common complaints we're all hoping will be fixed by a software update.
Brad.
thanks I will try that, trying at work no luck as of yet. Have you tried the app shopsavvy yet?
Shop Savvy and BarCode pics
I'm using it, and it usually takes a couple of tries before I get a good picture that's recognizable. Have not tried the Macro setting, but I have noticed that the focus beep must sound before I snap for the picture or else I get gobblygook.
Microsoft Tag app is garbage.. I tired for an hour to scan in 10 diffrent tags. Changing camera settings for AF mode, lighting, etc. etc. Even they admit they need to make it use the video mode to line up the tag to scan. Until they fix it, it's a mediocre app at best
Hold the camera button half way down - picture will focus on bar code - then depress and you should have proper result.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This along with turning the flash off works like a charm. I have been going around the house snapping all my bar code labels. It works surprisingly well. Thanks
I have scanned a few barcodes and it worked for me. The main things is to turn off the Flash, and use the half press on the camera to focus properly. Then once it beeps snap the picture. I never switch to Macro mode and the half press takes perfect closeups.
hello! it's just me in the camera does not allow me to focus in the whole left side of the screen? I'll explain when I press to focus on the entire central and right out the circle of focus come and so the image is focused, while on the left, across the strip below the key settings, if I press does nothing and the circle of focus doesen't appear.I have deleted the cache of the camera and does the same problem, while other cameras like the google cam work correctly .I haven't problem to touch because it works well on any app and also in test mode. it's the same for all the note 4? also you have this problem?How i can solve it?
sorry for my veeery bad english
No one?
It seems that you can only touch to focus in the center and just beyond the center of the frame - not near those buttons. This appears very much by design, and I'm sure Sammy wanted to avoid people accidently pressing buttons when they wanted to refocus - if you need to focus on something on the edge of the screen, bring the object to the middle of your viewfinder, press and hold (to lock focus) and re-frame the shot.
Glad I'm not alone with focusing problems...
Here is my topic : Note 4 camera won't lock focus + blurry edges on pictures with far focus
Best regards,
