As you may have noticed, the camera may not auto-focus when you're running Windows Phone 7.
Here are 2 tricks to take focused pictures :
- Just point the object you want to take a picture of, and then launch the camera. It should autofocus (not always, but almost).
- If you see that the picture is blurred, you can switch to videocamera mode, wait for the camera to autofocus, and then switch back to photo mode, and here you are ! clean picture
I hope it may help,
have a nice day
Trick #2 : how to take pictures with flash without having a green image :
Use purple bulbs to light your subject, and your picture won't be green !!

Got Vignette app last night, and I am not sure I am using it correctly. At main screen I can see auto focus borders, but they are too wide, so pictures look like they have fixed focus.
My question is: is it possible to reduce those auto focus borders somehow, to get focused item, and blurry edges for the things that are not in focus?

I've Got the Vignette app and there are many options to be tried out.
The focus is very sensetive and i need to take more shots in bright light but so far the best results have been taking the picture via the on screen button and i know this is basic but give the lens a wipe as well.
I have a feeling there is a gerneral bluring with this app regardless to simulate particular film stocks.
To avoid this you can use the normal camera software and import those photos or any photo from your camera roll and apply the style you want then save over the file or save a copy.
I hope this helps.

You mean something like a macro mode?
You could try taking a picture with the 'Vignette' effect added onto it (The name of the effect itself is Vignette)
thanks for quick responses guyz, well I am not sure if it does focus actually. I mean physically lens tries to focus, but I dont think it actually focuses anything, so I thought maybe it is possible to reduce those focus borders to get focused item on image.
pngface, yes something like macro, but not that close
Anyway since vignette is saving images withough jpg compression, daylight images will have even better quality than now(and now they are very good)
if you take pictures in android , widescreen mode,
You get "squashed" image (after applying green tint fix)
try and take some pictures.
Is there a solution?
I get the same as you but I went back to Gallery and the picture look normal.
So this has slightly annoyed me for a while but since I don't use the front camera to take pictures often and it's not that big of a deal, I have just dealt with it...until now, it's just kinda a little nagging annoyance thing.
So when you take a picture with the front camera, on the screen before you snap the picture and the final picture when saved, are mirror images. I understand that the final picture is the right orientation (I think?) but how can I make it so it won't show up as the mirror image on screen?
Thanks in advance!
Just updated to 2.1.0.11, camera greatly improved.
**In previous rom camera used to take photo in high ISO, about 1000. So, there was so much grain. But new rom uses at best 450 ISO. Therefore image quality greatly improved.(sample images are not of same lighting condition, but you can easily differentiate the noise)
**Viewfinder is clearer.
**Focusing is little bit leggy, specially in low light.
**Flash quality improved. But you have to keep the subject nearer, because camera no more raise ISO above 450,so light sensitivity is less.
**Light Balance is now perfect, no more yellowish photo.
**A new smart mode added. Activate that mode, press shutter, wait a few seconds then three option will come- best photo, action shot, motion focus.
**There is a bad news for advanced users who like to play with camera settings- 3rd party camera app doesn't work anymore, they cant change iso, white balance, etc anything.
Hello,
I have the stock Oreo rom and I'm using the stock camera app .
I have the phone since a couple months and I find the pictures of low quality when taking close-up pics. (A pictures of a keyboard will give me blurry letters numbers for example)
In the stock camera, I have no option like portrait mode, 2x zoom or dual watermark.
In most 3rd party app, the default camera is the front one.
For what I've tried in manual mode if I zoom in and out with a finger on one of the two camera I only get an image from the telephoto one and not from the wide-angle one.
Could it be that one of the 2 camera is not working or do I need to do something to enable something?
Should I sent it in warranty?
Regards,
Better you attach a screenshot of stock camera missing the features
I don't have the option "dual camera" that you can see on the top of this photo:

I neither do have the blue icon at the top of this photo:

I've seen also in xiaomi forum that the default back camera is the wide-angle and that 3rd party app can't access the telephoto lens.
In my case the default camera is the telephoto lens and some 3rd parties app can't access my back camera.
Same happened with me, so I went to setvice center and they replaced both the cams. There is no other way. It is going to get worse day by day. My Telephoto lens was working fine but the standard one was taking blurry photos. At first it wasn't noticable but then it became more and more blurry.
You should take it to service center
