Verizon SGT has no zoom features

Verizon SGT built-in camera has no zoom features. Please confirm. Others camera apps from market zoom freeze the camera application. Any help will be appreciated.

Silly question, but did you try the volume rocker?

I knew about the volume rocker. It doesn't work. I have both Droid 1 & Droid X. It looks like mine is defected. Thanks for your confirmation.

Called Verizon, confirmed the camera zoom feature is not available. Too bad.

It's not just Verizon, it's the entire Tab range that does not have a zoom function for the camera.
There is however a workaround which involves using a third-party camera app named Vignette.
Vignette uses a live action crop tool which is basically the same as the digital zoom you find on any phone camera.
What is so great though about Vignette is it is far, far better in use than the stock camera App on the Tab.
Vignette has so many additional settings and effects for you to use, it's quite unbelievable. Not only that, I did a series of tests between Vignette & the stock camera and found on all accounts Vignette produced much sharper photos with more natural colours. What was also amazing was the crop tool (which is presented as a sliding zoom level) actually produces good results at various levels of zoom.
Go on, give vignette a try, I am sure you will be amazed and quite happy with it. It's become my Camera App of choice now.

Thanks for the info. I will try this out.

Camera zoom

Hi all so I love my camera on this phone but I don't know if anyone else has noticed that before you even use zoom it is already way to close and as a result I keep getting photos that I'm not happy with I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an app or something to zoom out further than it is to begin with

You can disable widescreen. Widescreen tends to zoom to create the image.

GS3 camera

Hey guys after coming from my Nexus which took terrible photos I would like to use the s3 to take some photos of the kids etc. I have bought photo fx previously and am wondering how this compares to the default camera app? What settings do you guys recommend like HDR burst shot etc? Thanks for any advice

Anyone?

Why don't you try a few settings out and see what works for you? I use hdr mode for landscapes as it takes a while to merge two exposures together and kids don't tend to stay still for too long. Macro works as it should. That's about all I can tell you.

I have tried a lot of different apps for the camera, but stock seems to match or better them all for me. I am no expert but am happy with the results. As stated, hdr is brilliant for still scenes and the colours it produces are exceptional. Don't use for your kids though unless their asleep

only reason why Im not on CM10 is because the stock Samsung camera is that good...almost SLR minus, aperture and shutter adjustment...

stock camera is the best afaik.... just fiddle with the parameters and find your best combo for various scenarios

I like stock camera too. Great images at all.

voice to capture photo?

does anyone know if it may be possible to implement like the galaxy note 2 camera has with the "voice to capture picture" option? that would definitely be something that would be a nice addition to the nexus camera, at least it seems it would.

Use Camera Zoom FX or Camera 360 for Voice controls.

thanks, well that sounds easier than trying to hack note features into our camera which is what I was expecting to hear. do those apps work with our current camera as the shooting software or will it be a separate camera interface all together?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Separate camera app. Totally different interface having much more options than stock camera app. Much much more.

Camera focus

Is there any good mod or apps which can make focus on subject??? Htc m8 and xperia z2 have good focus when make picture and also after picture.

Snapseed (editing app, NIK EFEX(professional photo editing too for photoshop) for Android, Google bought them.): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed
It has a center blur setting that you can drop anywhere on the photo and change the blur around it. Also, it's free.
