Camera zoom - Desire HD General

Hi all so I love my camera on this phone but I don't know if anyone else has noticed that before you even use zoom it is already way to close and as a result I keep getting photos that I'm not happy with I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an app or something to zoom out further than it is to begin with

You can disable widescreen. Widescreen tends to zoom to create the image.

Verizon SGT has no zoom features

Verizon SGT built-in camera has no zoom features. Please confirm. Others camera apps from market zoom freeze the camera application. Any help will be appreciated.

Silly question, but did you try the volume rocker?
I knew about the volume rocker. It doesn't work. I have both Droid 1 & Droid X. It looks like mine is defected. Thanks for your confirmation.

Called Verizon, confirmed the camera zoom feature is not available. Too bad.

It's not just Verizon, it's the entire Tab range that does not have a zoom function for the camera.
There is however a workaround which involves using a third-party camera app named Vignette.
Vignette uses a live action crop tool which is basically the same as the digital zoom you find on any phone camera.
What is so great though about Vignette is it is far, far better in use than the stock camera App on the Tab.
Vignette has so many additional settings and effects for you to use, it's quite unbelievable. Not only that, I did a series of tests between Vignette & the stock camera and found on all accounts Vignette produced much sharper photos with more natural colours. What was also amazing was the crop tool (which is presented as a sliding zoom level) actually produces good results at various levels of zoom.
Go on, give vignette a try, I am sure you will be amazed and quite happy with it. It's become my Camera App of choice now.
Thanks for the info. I will try this out.

Video stutter

Is anyone else experiencing stutter with the camcorder? I get it once in a while - often enough to be annoying. It might be related to light conditions; not sure.

Doesn't surprise me, the photo sensor on this device blows harder than a train whistle.

I was getting that too. I had to switch my zoom mode to manual zoom. That seemed to fix it. Took a little getting used to having to touch the screen to zoom but at least now I can record video with it skipping like that.

Another thing that causes the phone to do this is auto focus which might be what poster above me meant
Thanks for the replies. So it's just preferable to turn off the auto focus, at least for video? (too bad there aren't independent settings for photo and video...)

Yea I meant auto focus, not auto zoom. I had to switch to manual focus where you touch the screen to zoom.

Fuzzy picture till you zoom in

Hi I was just wondering why when I go to view my pictures why they are fuzzy looking until I zoom in just a little bit and then I can see all the pixels. I'm on a stock Rom and idk, if anyone knows why could you let me know what's up thanks

Camera or camera app

Anyone know of anyway to make the camera on the Nexus 4 better? I think the only thing I don't particularly like about this phone is the camera. Shots are too dark, too much flash, the HDR are always fuzzy. Do any 3rd party apps improve the camera, or are there any mods I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
AW: Camera or camera app
Hdr is fuzzy because you dont hold ur n4 still. You can improve it a bit but you cant really See a difference. just the size of the photo is much bigger of the photo. There is no thirdparty app that takes better photos as the stock app

I know you can't move with HDR I've taken them with the phone still as possible still fuzzy.

[POLL] Best replacement SENSE camera app for NOSENSE roms

i want to ask NONSENSE users which app are they using in theit aosp/cm/aokp roms in replacement of sense camera.
yeah, this thing is keeping me off to install a nosense rom, because im too attached on sense camera features (panorama, burst mode, etc) and i use often camera.
In my experience sense cameras do tend to take better pics..

Camera ZOOM fx or Camera FV-5, both are awesome
for video recodring I use stock camera app.
They are all good solutions for Camera! Thanks! What i miss the most Island the panorama feature,which i didnt find in any Third part app. In sense panorama photos are thaken and blended togheter at full res and the result is a heavy jpg. In other apps photos are taken with a Lower resolution and are lower than 1 mb. In most case,photos are not exportable in album,but they are visibile on the app "player" or via web.
Inviato dal mio HTC Desire HD
i reply myself just to share with all that ProCapture - camera + panorama app makes panorama photos in full res (4+ MB) and not low res (600+ kb) , but there's a catch, panorama is good but takes too much time to elab photos (around 1 - 2 minutes)
Imo no camera can replace quality of picture from sense Rom, shame, I personally had best experience with snap camera.

you will not get the same quality of picture, Whatever the application is in non-sense Rom, because of framework or any other system file. Use that same application in sense rom and you will see the difference in image.

Camera FV-5 will be my 1st option n then there will be others like Camera Zoom Fx, Camera 360, Shot Control, Perfectshot, etc

Ok, here's the thing.
Everyone who wants better panorama than the one on Sense ROMS, install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133983

Yes and no...
App can use pretty much the same tweaking algorithms used in drivers/framework, so in theory there can be an app which would take similar pictures.
