[Q] camera locked to movie mode - Optimus 7 General

Hi,
somehow I cannot switch the camera between movie and still picture mode any more. Tapping the little icon in the top right above the zoom controls which is supposed to do so, only causes the screen to dim for half a second. But the camera stays in movie mode. I tried resetting the camera settings to default. That didn't work out.
Thx in advance for your suggestions

Picture with flashlight

Hi all,
I tried to put the flash (light) for a picture, and I have an issue... The flash is lightening before taking the picture, so it's useless ...
Do you have the same issue ?
When I turn my flashlight on it stays on until I turn it off.
It stays on, but it's brighter on the moment the picture is done.
I've tried to make photos in front of a mirror to see if it is lightening before taking the picture or not. In my device (HTC TyTN) the flash comes just at the right moment, so it's not useless, but the shooter sound comes about 1 second after the picture is really taken.
Do you have a lot of applications running? probably your device is running slow and that's why you're experiencing this. Are you experiencing the same issue just after a hard reset?
Yes maybe, I'm going to try the mirror test
I have the same problem
The flash light it is NOT syncronized with the capture moment.
I think the question here should be;
When is the capture moment?
Pressing of the button does not coincide with the shutter sound or flash lighting... This is probably as the flash lights when button is pressed, at which point the device starts image transfer and the shutter sounds after picture is complete (try moving camera after shutter has sounded and before)

Staying in 1 camera mode

Is there a way to stay in another camera mode other than auto when you close the camera? I love using HDR but everytime I close the camera, then go to use it later I have to cycle back through to find HDR again. It's really annoying.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't know how to fix in HDR camera mode...
but I know what you mean, circle around to find HDR mode again... why you don't push the button on upper left corner and select mosaic mode view?! it's easier to find the mode you want... try it.
I guess thats a little quicker and that does help. I just wish there was a way to keep it in one mode all the time. Thanks though :good:

Work-a-round for auto night detection or lack of it? Video goes far too dark.

Just curious if there is a viable option for videos in low light and no flash.
When in auto mode and low light videos (and sometimes pics) and flash off the camera states "auto night detection cannot be used while recording videos".. Which I could care less about but it unfortunately makes the video or images MUCH darker (then what is initially visible and decent in preview) .
What is visible on screen before recording is more then fine and I would be happy with that but as soon as recording it gives that message and goes very dark. Very frustrating. Just give me what's on the screen why don't you!
Of course I can go out of auto mode but that does little.. Highest manual iso is 800 and I turn exposure up to +2 but this only partially gets better then the darker recordings.
If the preview screen can show an image or video with enough light why won't it record at that?
Anyone else seeing this and doing something to help?
Hey, I just noticed that yesterday , did you find a fix for it?

Trouble with camera picture orientations.

Hi
I'm facing a weird problem. When my screen rotation is locked and I click a picture in landscape mode, it stays like that even when viewing it when my phone is upright. This happens even with videos. Landscape videos remain in that orientation when keeping the phone upright.
When I tilt my phone to view it horizontally the play sign stays in the same orientation as it were when the phone is kept straight. Sometimes the video fails to play at all.
My phone is rooted and updated to OTA 2.1.2. I've also installed the CM gallery. Had installed ES file explorer but removed it soon after.
This is an issue with 2.1.2

Strange camera issue (tilted in certain video modes)

In certain video modes (normal, short, timelapse) my Mi9T tilts and flickers the picture to the left on the screen. It's really weird because after installing any 3rd party camera software it works normally.
Any thoughts?
Update: meanwhile it turned out that the image stabilization is the culprit - with IS off it is ok but once I switch it back it happens again...
