Video camera (auto)focus not available

Hey again XDA,
I know the nexus 4 is capable of focusing the camcorder for macro and other shots. However, for some reason, on cm 10.1.2 and .33 radio I don't get this option. Does anyone have any success on other radios/bootloaders or has dealt with this issue? Thanks very much.

You mean't Camera, Camcorder records video.
This could be either an issue with the camera application or it is missing from the application.

I meant video. S3 has a feature to actively focus on whatever is happening (automatic focus).

Well the Nexus 4 doesn't have such thing but you can attempt to get the S3 Camera but it may cause issues (gallery is joined to camera).

Oh OK. Does it have regular focus on the camcorder then? For me its just infinite focus, not controllable at all.

Unfortunately the user really has no control unless you record when the device is in the best focus.

This can't be right..

Use lgcamera app. The camcorder recording gives you touch to focus control. I read someone say it reduces the quality but i didnt notice any frame drop or reduction in quality.

Note 3 camera

Why does our note 3 camera take a while to process pictures,
Other phones are so quick, is there a better app in the play store to get a better experience?

Do you have smart stabilisation on?

LG G2 blurring lights in pictures and videos

Hi my g2 struggles to capture lights without blurring them in pictures or video. I have tried a factory reset and cleaned the lens glass but it's not helped. There are a few scratches on the lens glass though. Could this be the cause?

Same shot with s4. Big difference.

Try turning down the ISO in settings
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried Iso 200 on pic below but it doesn't seem to remove the blurring of lights and makes images dark. Does your G2 do this as well with incandescent lighting?

Poor photos!

So I've got this lg g2 and not really happy with the photos every front photo looks misty!!!
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Wondering if it's the plastic lens cover!! Front camera is fine.

If you want better camera pics try xdabbebs or jishnus camera which both improve stock camera a lot

Mine is having the same issues. See my thread. I am starting to think my camera is not defective but rather the camera is garbage compared to the s4.

I tried xdabbebs when my phone was rooted and for some reason after installing that it's sent me in to boot loop lol

Wow those are really ****ty pics. My G2 takes excellent photos.
Maybe your unit is a dud or any scratches on the glass cover?
Here is a blind camera test, G2 (Uses Sony's Exmor sensor) scored better than GS4

I've emailed Lg they ask for some sample photos bet they say they look ok lol
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

lol... btw just out of curiosity, which camera app do you use? stock or aftermarket?
i'm asking you this because i get better images when i use either xdabbeb modded camera app (you can find it here under developer's area subforums) or DSLR Camera Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera) which gives me even more settings to fiddle with...
you can also try some other camera apps like
Camera FV-5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite
or MX camera...

Stock I don't have it uprooted fv-j5 just bought it
