Is there a app I overlooked that enables zoom or will the nexus s never have it?

before I installed cm7 rc2 I could have swore that my camera would zoom???...I actually figured it was a bug with rc2 that was causing this on my phone
The only zoom you could possibly have is a digital zoom, which is not really a zoom at all. It just blows up and distorts the picture. There is no optical zoom built in to the Nexus S.
right, maybe im wrong, but i thought i was able to digital zoom before rc2... Although I have read other posts about no camera on this phone. so maybe im just wishfully thinking...
Just take the picture without zoom and crop it after... why would you want to take a picture that has less information? I never understood why anyone would want to use digital zoom.
+1, the stock doesn't have digital zoom. Funny that they removed this feature just to make space for the button that enables switching of front/back camera.
So is there any image editing app that enables cropping?
I use digital zoom when I need to capture a picture of a monkey that's far away with my 5MP camera and send it via MMS in 1MP picture.
Have you looked at the stock gallery app? When viewing a picture just press menu and there's a crop button... it's really pretty easy. It makes a new picture for you with the cropped one, then you just tap it and click "share" and choose the method you want... email, MMS, picasa, etc.

would be nice to have a digital zoom on camera.
Under the advanced settings in the stock cm7 camera app, there's an option to use the volume keys for the zoom controls. Unfortunately enabling that also does nothing.

So a while back I asked who else had a problem where when they take a pic in portrait mode it comes out rotated (it looks fine in mediascape but when you look at it on a cpu or with a file manger its actually rotated) and I tried everything to fix it (repairing with update service and factory reset) but it didn't help. So I just downloaded this camera app because you can add effect to pics and when I looked at the pics I took with it their right side up. So I came to the conclusion that its the native camera app that has this problem and I just hope there's a way to fix it because its annoying :-\
So after trying out different camera apps I confirmed it is the native camera app, I hope this is fixed in the 2.1 update or a dev can do it when the boot is cracked =/ (I commented to also bump it and to see who else has this problem)

What?
Most real cameras are the same way. The orientation data from a camera can usually not be read by Windows Explorer/Photo Viewer/Website uploaders.
The other camera apps you claim work are taking the pics at a different resolution, instead of using the orientation sensor. (e.g., 600x800 instead of 800x600). It's pedantic, but, it's not a "bug" or a "fault".
I just re-read my original post and it makes perfect sense, but I guess I'll explain again. When I take a picture in portrait mode the picture looks fine in mediascape but if I look at it with a file manger or upload it to a CPU, Facebook etc its actually rotated to the left. And I don't have this problem with any other camera app. So how is my pictures being rotated to the left not a bug O_O

Use a regular camera. This happens all the time, as the camera always shoots in landscape orientation, and just adds some orientation data to the file.
Camera apps shoot in a different resolution than the native camera app. It's not a bug, just the X10 behaving like a regular camera would.
Well i for the record also irritate on this, even if it is a normal action. If i see something fun and want to share that on FB, and the pic gets rotated sideways, it spoils the fun :-\

But it's a 1 second click on FB to rotate the pic...
I hope mobile was in landscape mode and.not portrait.

Not in the FB app or mobile FB.

The X10 can view the full FB site just fine... still just a single click.
My X10 used to mess up the rotation of the pictures all the time. Even pictures taken in the X10 would show up rotated the wrong way in mediascape too. When I took a picture, and it did happen to be the right way up, once uploaded to facebook using the facebook app, it would be rotated the wrong way, regardless of whether it was taken landscape or portrait. This is definately a bug, as it never happens on my new phone, regardless of orientation of pic when it was taken... When I upload pics from my HTC, they are the correct way up, every single time..
It annoys me when people say there is no bug or it's the problem of the user... I have friends and my gf who unfortunately have to use the X10 still, and these things shouldnt happen! You shouldnt have to browse to the main site to rotate the photo, the facebook app or the phone should upload it properly..
The Desire uploads using "Facebook for HTC sense", maybe sony need a "Facebook for SE UI" or something to upload pictures properly.
Whether it's a bug with the X10, Android 1.6, or whatever, it shouldnt happen.
I too hope they fix this with the update, if and when it ever comes.
well, hopefully with everyone facing this same problem, SE will fix their damn app in the 2.1.x update.
it's stupid to upload from mediascape.. then go to the full site to re-orientate it.
Don't shoot me if u allready know or allready posted somewhere else on XDA
On homescreen long press screen and select Shortcuts( or menu>add>shortcuts)
Select activities, sweep to Camera>expand and select camcorder. Et Voila! A direct shortcut to camcorder without starting the cam first.
Feel free to explore other hidden com.google activities without other 3rd party apps
nice one.
I use the recorder alot so this is sweet.
Not bad. I have set up a dock for the camera, gallery and camcorder to easily get to in LP. Hopefully use camcorder more often.

Very nice!!
I use Camera360 for taking pictures but always hated to have the original Galaxy S camera icon on my homescreen as well in case i want to shoot a video.
With this neat little trick i have a special videocamera icon + it´s a great time safer. THANX!!
Thanks for this useful tip.

I'm not sure if you can change your settings, but when you use the app and select the option to upload a photo, you get two options "Choose from Gallery" and "Capture Photo". The phone can be set to take 8mp pics, but the app itself shrinks it down so it transfers better over the mobile network. If you want to upload bigger pictures, take one with the stock camera app first, and then select "Choose from Gallery" when uploading the picture. You'll get a pic that's about 4 times the size of what it is when taken with the facebook app.

This seems to be the only way...
I've noticed that wallpapers applied via the Gallery app come out blurry and poorly scaled but the same image, applied by other means, work fine. For example, I can apply an image by opening the gallery (either by hand or by long press on the desktop) and the result will be blurry and scaled poorly. If I open the same file in another image viewer or a browser and apply it from there it works fine. Is this a bug in the gallery app on the Galaxy Tab? Has any one else noticed? How are others applying wallpapers?
Example:
Applied via Dolphin HD (clear)

Applied via Gallery (blurry):

The Gallery app doesn't appear to use the full res versions of the photos, and the updated one that uses better photos has some FC errors. I use an app called Crop Wallpaper, which sets itself up so you can use the sharing from your gallery or any other photo app to send it over, crop the area you want, apply it, and you're all set.
Free on the market and is the best solution I've found so far.
Yes, that's also what I found out. I'm using Multi Picture Live Wallpaper now, you can define different picture for each page in the homepage. It's free from the market.

Thanks for Crop wallpaper, the UI needs some work but gets the job done perfectly

Just downloaded Crop Wallpaper and it works amazingly well. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hi,
I have been experiencing issues with pictures taken from the main camera of this phone.
The pictures are rotated up-side-down.
Any picture (taken from main camera) and sent via whatsapp is reduced to the resultion of 240*320.
No matter what I do to rotate the picture on the computer or recipient mobile phone the orientation stayed up-side-down.
Has any one got this problem, any solutions?
Have you try to change the orientation of the screen ?

There are two ways to rotate a jpeg photograph. One is by the exif data in the file, one of which specifies orientation. The other is by completely rewriting the file to change the order in which the pixels are scanned. Not all programs recognise the exif orientation data. Suspect that the program you use to rotate the image is using the exif method but the program used to view the image does not recognise that.
