Don't know about stock rom but in cm7 I use volume key to focus and when released it takes photo. Very handy, almost like normal camera.

With the stock rom and the stock camera app its not possible to do this!
Its one of the many features of the cm7 rom that i missed at the stock rom but the Fm radio is a big disadvantage for the time!
Camera ZOOM FX was 0.10$ until yesterday. It is a full blown camera app, with all the button customization you could imagine.
from TT ideos x5
After trying some hours the zoom fx must say that its much better that the standard app!!
First i set the button to the Volume up button and the only bug is that every time you take a picture you hear the sound from the normal use of the button (ringer volume)
Now i will try the camera 360 because i forgot it yesterday an choose one of them for the everyday use!
I really like Lightbox as it comes with a number of filters to give the photos a nice effect. I don't even use the stock application anymore.
i'll use lgcamera for video recording because you can choose AAC audio encoder witk 48kHz and 128Kbps. Very good audio quality.

video call camera testing- possible?
is it possible to check the video cam? just turn it on to see if it's working (without entering the video call mode)?
Yes, the camera app allows you to switch to front facing camera
camera app?
I don't think that is possible, changing profiles using the camera app always use the back camera, not the video call one.

The coolcamera application can be set to use front cam. For example as a web cam Not a free application but can download it for trial purposes but it limits use to 25 seconds or something until you start it again.

My mistake, must have been the universal that allowed this
you could always call your video mailbox. still have to make a call though, but not to another person
nah i just wanted to see if my video cam works properly. done it with coolcamera, thanks
Does anyone know a app that allows for transmission of Tytn front camera pix over GPRS/3G, like a webcam? Over IP, not videocall. Cool Camera has extracted its webcam part as addon (on Dec. 5), so maybe it can do it now? Anyone tested?
Is there a way to check this is working without making a video call?
I have no 3G reception here and need to check it works before my 7 day return is up.
Thanks.
I heard there is a program called CoolCamera by Ateksoft which will let you do this. I have not tried it out yet, though.
Just call a land line you will see the front camera image for a moment and then the call will fail.

CoolCamera has that feature alright, but for some weird reason the video displayed is tilted sideways and there is no way to fix this inside CoolCamera settings...
What I did noticed tho, is that the video quality is of inferior quality and lower framerates.
Peace!

I dont know if this is posted or anything but just figured out a kool trick with the awesome power of multitasking!
1. grab a torch app (N1 Torch)
2. turn the torch on from widget
3. load camera app and switch to video and enjoy! ^_^
Nice! Thanks
It doesn't work with the Desire camcorder (just shuts off) although it's fine with the stock one.
If you have the Desire camcorder, then a workaround is to install Qik from the market, and then you can use the LED flash with the Qik camcorder.
nice tip, thanks!
Sorry still haven't tried that desire camera yet but this works on stock camera
Running an "older" rom (mid September) that is very stable and im very happy with.
Only problem is it the camera/cam-corder apps, they want me to use the trackball to take a picture.
....i have no trackball.
I've run across other roms with camera apps that use the on screen shutter button. is there any way to snatch this app and copy/install it to my working android rom?
...and yes. I've done many many searches, problem is just too many irrelevant posts are popping up.
i use a 3rd party camera, like Vignette or FX Camera.. also Camer MAgic isnt too bad.. all are free from the MArket Place

You tap and hold anywhere on the screen. The auto-focus will kick in and turn green, and it should take the picture.
Which Android build are you using? The 3 builds I've tried had the statement above in their README/FAQ sections.
I tried to take a picture to a document in a completly dark place , and I couldn´t focus, i tried with default sense camera, camera zoom and camera 360, in my previous phone, samsung i900 it switch on the flash while focus an then took the picture.. i cant do it with hd2.. any help will be highly appreciated..
t seems that anyone ere likes to take pictures in the dark)
Yeah i know where your coming from, anywhere it's very dark or very bright it's impossible to see when your trying to focus,i was on the beach today with my son and taking some snaps of him playing and i couldn't see with the sun but thankfully the photos turned out ok but with my old digital camera i was able to see a lot more.
Just take the picture. The flash will come on and the picture will be able to be seen.
This is something I was stuck at too. Normally, on a phone with flash, in the dark, trying to focus would temporarily activate the flash to let the phone see where to focus, and then fix the focus on the spot and shoot the picture.
My HD2 won't do that. Just one of the little things no one thought of.
use the torch app widget to flick the torch on, it will; stay on when you jump to camera and focus will work.

pro-hdr-camera has a torch option in the flash settings which keeps the led on so you can focus in complete darkness, bought it just for that feature. also take pretty decent shots.

Does anyone else have a problem with video recording? No matter which app I use the camera hunts for focus occasionally resulting in the frame zooming in and out, or out and in, slightly. I can't manage to get more than 3/5 seconds of rock solid framing?
I have the same issue (LineageOS 14.1) and came here to ask which app I should use to avoid this problem!
This video shows the refocusing really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCcEp3oD4aY

Do you use the stock ROM or a custom ROM like I do?
Maybe ZTE will repair your phone?

It looks like your camera is refocussing a lot more frequently than mine!
I'm running the Stock ROM and camera app at the moment. I don't think it's a hardware problem as the camera does not refocuss when taking a still photo.
I can't have ZTE look at it as there's no service center in the UK (and I bought it from Gearbest).

You are right! :good: I changed the 'touch focus duration' in the LOS camera app from '0s' to 'infinite' and now the focus does only change if I click elsewhere!
There should a similar setting in the stock camera app!

But I did find it in the Open Camera app!

Can you upload a screenshot of the video settings?
You mean 'Open Camera' (Camera App) - https://f-droid.org/app/net.sourceforge.opencamera? Which setting you changed? I had no refocussing without changing any setting.

Using Open Camera has fixed the problem for me!
The stock camera app only seems to have fixed focus settings for the stills camera!

Yes it took a while to find the settings! The continuous autofocus setting ("c") causes my Mini to hunt for focus every 2/3 seconds. All the other settings work as expected with no hunting.
Doh! I've just found that you can lock focus and exposure using the Stock camera app! You just need to long press on the target circle after you have selected the object you want to focus on.
https://youtu.be/Un0FJCYKTcM?t=216
Once locked you can choose another object to focus another and it will lock focus on that without having to long press again.
