Maybe you can provide some additional information?
Like whether your phone is stock/custom ROM, had this problem since the beginning you used the camera?

Happened ever since i installed darkys Rom

As your Rom suggests ' DARKY ROM' = DArk Pictures
Ok Jokes apart, In Settings> check what your Iso is on, If it auto is cool or try the different iso's and see if it makes a difference.
Oh try resetting or full wipe and install again as a last resort

[Q] Any flast software for X10

Hey guys ,
would like to know if there is anyway to get flash capability in x10 ? any apps or anything? since photo light is available in the phone shouldn't be hard to get a application to use it as a flash light..

LoL, just take a look into the market

Or use the search button.
If you want to use that pitiful photolight as a flash, you can use Vignette from the market.
I tried vignette, but to be honest the photos in the dark are still crap.
I settled into just using my phone for spontaneous snaps and a dedicated camera for when I know I need it.

It's because the photo light on the X10 isn't a flash and probably isn't designed to be such.

Pretty sure my Hero did this crap too.. ANNOYING!
I've noticed this too. And any ideas on the flash issue? Renders night time pics useless
your best bet is to adjust the iso to around the 200 range. if anything is causing this its the auto iso
I turned my brightness down to anywhere between 2.6-4.0 and night time pics are beautiful, not that ultra bright ridiculousness and as far as the blur, I haven't had that issue

Def didnt help i took 5 pics just now and it didnt change its gotta be a software issue it works fine vertical but once you flip it landscape it gets blurry just dosent make any sence someone help please
It's just the software... My Hero did the same thing.
Usually a different image viewer fixes this, but we shouldn't have to install other software to fix these things...
Any dev think they can fix this?? This is insane seriously
i have the same issue.. have to zoom the pic in a tad to clear it up!

[Q] Render effect app/widget like on cyanogen?

Hey guys,
I just switch to Myn's Warm ROM from the Cyanogen-mod ROM. I love the Myn's ROM but one thing I miss that I used a lot from Cyanogen is the Red night vision render effect.
Is there an app out there on the market that can replicate this Red Night vision render effect (red "night mode")?? Or is in there an option in Myn's that I am looking over?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Question-why did u use the rendering effect...did it really save that much battery
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It was really helpful during low light situations, like at the movies for example.
I tried several different ways to get it to run on a non-CM ROM, but the app Fc's immediately when you try to adjust. Here's the thread for it and to get the apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745248#7503402

And as a deputy who works nights having that in red mode goes nicely with my red interior light for nights to try and not blow out your eyes once they are adjusted to night time. Wish that was an option. I also tried to install and instant fc.... oh well....

Low Light Picture fix!!

For those who have been having problems since updating to Gingerbread...
I believe I saw this Camera app floating around our thread but I couldn't find it. Anyone having problems with low light pictures coming out very dark, try this camera apk. It will not replace your current camera, it will just be an additional app. I take no credit for this.

still have dark pictures.............
oPress the flash icon.. It probably says "auto flash" right now. There are a ton of options including a night time and low light setting. It worked for me. Sorry, I should've mentioned those settings...
Edit: Sorry, not "auto flash"...it just says "AUTO"

X10 stock camera is good... REALLY??

I don't know if its just me. But I find the stock camera app on X10 very hard to use...
It is only nice on a bright sunny day. The shutter lag makes the camera almost unusable under low-light condition or while you're at an indoor space.
Its slow to focus on subject, and even slower for the camera to take a pictureou, leaving you a blurry image because the person has moved...etc.
The camera app that comes with CM roms in my opinion is the best.. photo is instantly taken once you press on shutter. wonder if any devs would be able to port it on to roms based on stock GB?
that is about right for X10....
otherwise, go for DSLR camera.

X10 camera is good enough with the right app.. but definitely not the stock SE one. It has potential to be there.
asking if any devs are able to port cm6 camera on to SE GB rom
In my opinion The GB stock camera it's better than previous CM roms

Sorry to tell you but the stock app is superior than any app on the market. Show me what app from the market allows you to control EV+/-
Dont think thats a useless feature.....its what seperates stock cam from any other app.
Ive given lots of pointers as a photgrapher within these forums how to properly get a great image regardless if your lighting is poor.

-Use touch capture
-Use the modes! If you want to take a quick picture, go to sports mode, so on and so forth
-Use the EV! It makes the pictures come to life
I have not noticed any camera lag between pressing the shutter and getting the shot...are you on Gingebread? The GB update seems to have sped things up a lot.

If you use normal mode for interior without decent lighting, you will see the screen does not respond promptly as you move the camera around different subjects, that's the lag I'm talking about.
Thanks for suggesting sport mode tho..its a lot more responsive. Didn't bothered to try it before.
But what it does really is compensating exposure for the less lag as I've figured...sport mode is unusable without daylight, the image is way too dark.
Yes I'm on GB at the moment, not saying X10 camera is that bad, but it wouldve been so much better if its as fast as the camera included in CM roms

Guys who dont know EV
its that setting by which you can + or - the lighting in the cam. its on the right hand side in a box with +/- sign.
If you learn the camera correctly, you can take some awesome shots. I still have pictures till this day that people are amazed by the quality and clarity of the photos. The X10 can take the shots you want with patience and practice.
It takes better pics than my ATRIX.
