It's brilliant being able to take photos using the volume key on the GS2 it definitely is better than having to touch the screen, ive noticed though it doesn't seem to work on the front facing camera, not a major thing but is there a way a dev can also make this work?

What do you mean "It's brilliant being able to take photos using the volume key on the GS2"
U can't do that ... or are you on other than stock ROM?

Taking self shots and/or one handed shots is a pita since you have to touch the screen when taking pictures. Is it possible to hack the power button to act as a camera button when the camera is in use?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i would like to know too
Great idea
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
agreed, good idea, would like to see this in action.
Actually, using the volume would work too because you don't need to use the rocker at all during a photo.

No. The volume rocker zooms in. The power button is on top so you can press it with your index finger like a normal point n shoot.
I also would love to see this, but just a tip for people-- setting a timer on the camera helps for taking images of oneself.
It's a great idea, been talked about often. Think there's a thread in the dev section. Fingers crossed they will make a hack for it.
This would be very useful.

are you saying that there is no zoom on the camera?
It isnt a big deal it is just digital zoom and not optical
You sure there s no zoom? You try pinch to zoom on screen?

But really, who wants ****ty digital zoom anyway. If you wanted a nice camera on your phone, you should have bought a Nokia NSeries or something man. TO OP: Don't let that be a deal-breaker for you... I'm sure there will be custom ROMs around in given time that supports zoom and 720p video recording. Hope this helps.
Digital zoom on a fixed lens = crappy pixelated pics
I know the gingerbread roms for evo have zoom. But theyre custom. Thought it was in gingerbread though

I have the Galaxy S and just upgraded to CM7 nightly's which gives me a similar cam to the Nexus S. I've confirmed with a friend, and there's no zoom on his Nexus S.
I was surprised to find out, that there is no Zoom on the camera any more, as the Galaxy S (stock samsung) camera application supported zoom via the Volume Buttons.
For those saying "oh it's just digital and not optical zoom" is irrelevant. It allows me to take my crappy pixelated photo with out having to crop later before sending. The quality on the camera is sh!t anyways.
I'd personally like optical zoom and it seems like a standard reasonable feature these days.

You have to understand that the Nexus S is meant to be a developer phone so it lacks certain features that can be later added by the developers in the XDA forums.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Developer phone or not it still cost the same as the galaxy s yet they didn't add alot of stuff shouldn't the phone be cheaper guess not more I think about this its just dumb Google is really droppin the ball. No tv-out no 720p recording no sdcard no zoom no codecs only thing that's better is the form factor and updates from Google I guess but that's the price I pay for lord Google to give updates rant off I guess

I've seen this done on many phones. (atrix, defy...). You edit the build.prop and change the setting for video recording resolution and then use an app like lgcamera to record at that resolution.
Anyways, anyone want to try this method on the Bravo? The recording resolution they have this set at now really sucks.

The sensor in this phone is just terrible. I think you're better off not banging your head against that wall...
If this phone had a nice sensor, it'd be as close to perfect as any phone I've ever used. Someday someone will finally do it right, right?
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
I don't think it's the sensor...it's the setting that is limiting the sensor.

I totally agree about the video camera and the still camera is just bearable. I would love to try this but have no idea what part of the build.prop to edit, or what to edit it to. but I am going to do a bit of searching and see what I can find. Thanks

Old post. Impossible idea. I wish though!
Hey you know sometimes when your stuck go back to start and go over everything again. While listening to Avenged Sevenfold's Waking the fallen from Unholy Confessions album. But listen to it really really loudly.
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.

When i first got my Nexus 7 it had an icon for the Camera and when it updated to 4.2.1 it disappeared .......so this is a dumb question
where is it and how do i use my camera ? or i can only use it on apps that need the camera?
download nexus 7 camera launcher from market. works perfect.
i don't know why they removed it in the update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
First question, are you crazy? Probably, yes...
As for the camera issue, they probably removed it because you don't use it to take pictures and it would likely only be used with apps like Skype or whatever. However, as the other guy said, the Nexus 7 camera app from the play store works perfectly. I think there is also a 4.2 camera app APK floating around these forums somewhere too.
*puts down random dismembered limb*
Nope you are just as sane as the rest of us.
So wait, people really take pictures with this thing? Isn't that like, very awkward? Pressing a button on a screen that isn't even facing you and all..
Thanks found it works great ! you guys rock
