Best settings for highest quality pics - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to know what are the best settings for the highest quality pictures, using the stock camera app, or another app such as camera 360, or vignette. Post the settings and the pics. Thank You.

Pretty much stock settings, other than changing to a 16:9 aspect ratio and 'highest' resolution...

Here's a big ole pic of some tasty knots from Mellow Mushroom...
(I didn't re-size it or make any changes, so you could see the pic fresh from the microSD card)
I also use the 'Vintage Warm' effect a LOT, love it. I don't use Auto-flash though - it's either flash on or flash off for me.
Hope this helps!

U use auto focus, I heard it was better to leave that off.

In my experience, having auto-focus OFF doesn't get me as sharp of pics, especially in low-light. With auto-focus, you do have to wait a second for it to lock-in, so if it's a "fast action" shot, you're not gonna get it using auto-focus. I'm more concerned with sharper looking images vs. fast-action though.
It's all personal preference. I can say that every time I take a pic and I'm with friends that have either iPhones or the Evo, they always look at my pics and point out how much better mine look vs. theirs.

Nice, ill try those settings out today

Try out that Vintage Warm effect. It's really nice and makes pics (especially sans-flash) look really tasteful.

I don't have that effect, running cm7 build 8.

Aaaah, sorry. When I saw "...using the stock camera app..." I figured you were using stock ROM or Ice Glacier.

No, its all good, don't worry about it bro.

Post your favorite photos taken with your EVO!

Hello-
I've heard people doubting the capabilities of the camera used in the EVO and the Incredible, so I wanted to show off some photos I've taken with my EVO. Most were using Vignette (an awesome app!).
None of my photos have been postprocessed beyond some minor contrast adjustments, everything else is 100% EVO, including the brilliant lens flares.
Post your own photos!

Post Pictures from your Xperia Play!

Hello Everyone,
I haven't seen anyone start a post for this yet so I thought I would get the ball rolling. The only edits that have been made to these photos is resizing and reorienting. I've also made some comments at the very end.

I know some of the critics knock the XPlay for not having the best camera, but I think hardware-wise it is pretty decent. The problem is the software that it comes with, which is the native android camera app. It kinda sucks!
* No touch to focus
* No metering options (which really blows....highlights and all)
* No focusing square to tell me what it's focusing on (it highlights the whole screen)
Thankfully since it's a software issue hopefully it will be remedied...either by Sony for the hacking community trying to port over the Xperia Arc/Neo Software.
Anyways, please post ur photos if you have a XPlay!
Here are some if mine

My son, Taken in darkness
Pictures of one of the "knights" at Camelot, my dog, and my daughter feeding the goats at Camelot. I'm fairly sure you can work out which is which!
I find the flash tends to wash out the pictures, but I believe this is true of all camera phones with LED flashes.
BLT hehe

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I use the Vignette app rather than the stock camera. Lots if options available there.

Can you adjusting the metering with the vignette app?
Amongst the many other settings, yes.
Was bored waiting for some friends this afternoon, so I played around with tilt shift a little bit.

Is that a live camera image or just your wallpaper?
Kinda sucks that its not tilted towards the driver.
No build thread? How did you get it installed? Integrate it into the speakers? Is that camera live? Did you leave the factory unit behind the Transformer?
Not a back up cam, if they make it, it will be on it soon.
Its not facing the driver, just in case there are 5 other people in the truck, but I almost did that!
Head unit is above it, the A/C controls were moved below cup holder... will post picks of the whole build once I
get home...
Galaxy tab used to be intalled before and a 10",7" screens before that, so is has been a long going project...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Clean install, major props.
Actually you don't need to turn it towards the driver because the viewing angle is so good on this thing.
looks great.
to tilt maybe something like a tv mount with an arm that ca be extended out..?
(not sure if those exists for something like a tablet)
This looks awesome..
Tilt mount sounds good, I'll try to fabricate a smaller version n see how it works!

1) Check that your back cover glass (the one that covers the camera) is REALLY clean from both sides.
2) Accept the fact that in low light the phone won't shoot good pics.

The only time it will take good pictures is when the flash is right now the object, or if there is 100% sun on the object. As u can see on my example, there was fairly enough light but still came out Grainy.

[Q] Snapchat 2.0.0

Alright with the new snapchat update, we are able to log-in. The only problem is that instead of automatically using the front camera, it tries to use the non-existent back camera, and there is no option to switch cameras. Any way to force it to use front camera?
Making some progress...
At least snapchat halfway works. I have contacted the snapchat support but they told me to reinstall the app. I will try to get another response today.
I really wish snap chat was working for the nexus 7 ( I really don't like using my p500 for snap chat) I will talk to the devs about it today, maybe even providing them with a log etc..

Well I tried, I guess what we have to do is just be patient and wait. I'd like to say that the support for snap chat emailed me back within 45 mins.

What I'm guessing is that since they are still introducing a lot of new features in snap chat, more device support will be coming (soon I bet) be patient, our device will get there eventually.

Actually today after viewing a snap i had gotten from my friend, i went to the camera to see if it would magically work and i saw the switch to front camera icon. I pressed it, then it crashed.
It Works!
Just sideloaded snapchat 2.1 and the camera works now!!!
Only problem that the picture is flipped the wrong way.

You can also just flip the nexus 7 upside down or sideways to take pictures.
