Use volumebuttons to zoom in camera? - HD2 General

When I am using my camera I think that it would be much easier to use the volumebuttons to zoom, instead of using the slide on the screen. Is this possible?
Regards
Hans

Using the volume buttons to zoom in/out in either camera out video modes would be a great option. I would prefer that.
Anyone able to do that yet?

*up*
I would like this too... please

[Q] [PROBLEM] Capturing Photos

Hi there, I've had my DHD for awhile now and have been looking for ways to capture my photos by just touching and holding on the screen but haven't had any luck on it. On my previous HTC devices I had no problem capturing photos by just touching and holding on the screen.
Is this because of a setting being turned of? or is it just the stock camera app that comes with android 2.2 that doesn't include the feature?
Thanks in advance.
Touching the screen sets the point of focus so I'm note sure how this would work?
Yeah that's what I also thought so it's most probably the camera app that doesn't let me do it. I also read I that you're able to change the volume buttons' functions on the dhd, that could also work..
I thought the vol buttons operated the zoom?
Talkiing of zoom, has anyone noticed that the camer seems zoomed in a little by default (not according to the zoom meter) making if very difficult to get the subject in the frame without going some distance away?
Thats because you're on 16/9 mode. Switch to 4/3 and you'll get a lot more in your frame

Hmmm, that answers the problem to an extent - except I seem to have two modes only:
4:3
5:3 (widescreen)
Where the hell did 5:3 come from? Surely this should be 16:9 as above?

Poor alignment of front facing camera?

Has anyone else noticed that the front facing camera is poorly aligned for video chat when the device is held in landscape mode? It's somewhat better in portrait mode but still not ideal.
Has anyone tried correcting this?

As a matter of fact, I noticed it today. I can't see as there's any way to correct it besides the "hammer and chisel" method
I to hate this
there should be some type of software adjustment as there is on my Hp Notebook
If the cam was centered at the top your fingers would be on top the cam in portrait mode. Paltalk chat required you to use the tablet that way ..with the cam as it it is works kinda Ok..
i so wish laptop and tablets would have a way to adjust the cam.. There was a Toshiba notebook with a cam that would flip to show the other direction . maybe a software mod could be created.. I know its possibly because it has digital zoom .there is prob a file in the driver folder with alignment settings..

Camera Button Mod

is there a mod available for the Razr M that allows the power button to be the camera shutter (and volume rocker as the zoom)?
I think the Camera ICS app allows this, but just curious to see if this is available (or baked into any existing custom ROM)?
thanks!

The only thing I've seen is the stock moto app let's you make the volume keys zoom or shutter. To be honest there is absolutely no reason to zoom in the camera app. All a digital zoom is - is cropping the picture which you can do in the gallery app if you really want to, but you get the benefit of cropping it exactly how you want it because you have more picture to work with where as zooming when you take the pic if you don't like the framing your SOL because the rest of the picture wasn't saved.
This also applies to every other camera, you want optical zoom because digital zoom is worthless. No phone has optical zoom.

Google Camera App

Hi,
Using the new Google Camera App. Has anyone found a way
to zoom in with this app??? The normal volume button to
zoom in doesn't work in this app with the S4.
Thanks, Ken
Found answer!!
Nevermind,
I found my own answer. For anyone else:
"The camera focuses automatically, but you can touch the screen to manually focus on a different part of the image. Pinch two or more fingers together to zoom in, and spread them to zoom out."
