It hasn't been discovered yet, neither announced by SE, about which I am surprised, but here's the breaking news!
With 2.3.4 update for Xperia PLAY, the stock camera app now records 720p with continuous autofocus!
Sony Ericsson has really made alot of improvements in the 2011 Xperia series via their updates
P.S. Waiting for the R button capture app to be updated!
I hope it is true.
the ROM and the update has been live for days now, can anyone confirm this? i can't since i'm waiting for OTA
Wheres the source for this info?
I pray this is true, please someone confirm this, I bin waiting for the official UK release but if this is true I'll flash the Nordic version.

TS, you already post that here and also here..
There is already camera mod to user R button as a shutter. What do you mean the R button for the camera app to be updated?

It may not work properly
im gonna test on the autofocus and the R button app now
The camera app mod for Xperia play which takes pictures by R button does not support HD recording and focus in video. I meant it should be updated. It works like the old one.

This is 100% true, I tested it myself on my Xperia Play
1280x720 @30 fps on the stock camera app smooth and clear!
There is no source (about which I'm surprised), but that's true.
@brochador, I know, there is no harm to speak to a bigger audience, all these threads were related to the update
What are the video size options in this update?
@brocha
at least OP didn't have to start a new thread.
@OP
will wait for the update via air then..
I don't get it lol I just tried the video camera and it didn't look hd.
How is it done?

Have you installed Android 2.3.4 on your Xplay?
Yeah I have. Even psexperia stopped working.
I took a test video and uploaded it for all to see...I'll do a longer one tomorrow, but yes it's HD, 720p, confirmed.

OTA!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!
is OTA available for uk generic (rooted)?
thanks
not yet.. I'm on UK generic.. i guess it will take a month before it becomes available via OTA since it will be available first via pc companion..
Android 2.3.4 official it's available since saturday here in Italy, but....no 720p recording and no sweep panorama, what the hell?!?!?
Do u guys have the 720p recording from a rom custom or official update?
Yeah its has 720p HD. But in camera app settings it says High quality not HD
My Xperia Play R800i is running 2.3.4 and it has continuous auto focus and has 720p recording.. I upgraded officially and then rooted with zergrush method

Also boot animation and awesome live wallpaper.
Just tried the camera, everything works, including Photo Sphere. It gets hot! Haven't played with the settings, but i think stock XZ camera has better image quality.
Does it have the s4's camera interface or aosp interface?
Sent from my C6603
AOSP, it is a "Google edition" after all.
Does it have HDR?
How's the quality of the images compared to the stock camera?
Scene, white balance, exposure, panorama, photo sphere, video recording, front camera. All it has, pretty simple. The only thing it may be useful is photo sphere or if you like the interface. The stock gallery is also included.
about google cam .apk
first of all, many disadvantage:
no storage choice between internal and memory card, photo are stores in internal. no customizationz
second no hrd in photo and vudeo
third settings are limited

Then don't use it. I haven't installed it myself, but the article says it runs alongside your current camera anyway, so you're losing nothing.
I'm sure quite a few people will install it just for the photosphere mode that Sony didn't include in their 4.2.2 camera in any case.

The 'Camera JB+' that costs £1.49 on the Play Store? I don't see how that pertains to you saying that the camera linked to by the OP has lots of problems.....

But this camera replaces the original one or i can use both of them?

I have been playing around with this camera app for a few hours now and aside from photosphere it is quite a poor app in comparison to the quality of photos it produces. I will still keep it installed as I will use photosphere occasionally. It can never replace Sony's app in my opinion.
Edit. Also volume key takes photos which could be useful.

What are you talking about? How does this have anything to do with what you originally posted and I replied to?
Please don't post any more nonsense about unrelated apps as I will not reply.

this is a really neat app in that it does photospheres and timelapse, it's not the same as the camera jb+ as that also has the video effects enabled..
Nothing wrong with having different tools, for different purposes
Been playing around with app.
Seems scene settings are slightly messed up and picture quality is not as good as stock camera. No HDR option. But photosphere works.
As for volume key for taking pics, there is a mod already that does that with our stock camera and even can quick launch the camera. (needs root)

indeed, quality of photosphere is good, but not as great as expected (not optimized for xperia Z)
no links?
For anyone who has tried NA1 firmware (on i9505), can you confirm if below features are available? I'm using i9500, just would like to know it beforehand.
Multi tasking Drag & Drop
Same app in Multi Tasking
Camera - 4K Video Recording
Camera - Surround Shot
Camera - Realtime Effect
No on all of the above....

Too bad
i cant find the new camera shortcut on the leaked 4.4.2 rom... and the menu for enabling shortcuts on the lockscreen isnt there..
If you talking about 4.2.2 TouchWizz based, Yes it comes with some Spen note apps..
I think that the 4k recording won't be there for sure because the snapdragon 600 doesn't support it, even playing it, only the 800 does, so no 4k recording in the new 4.4 kitkat.
K920 has same camera sensor as Galaxy S5, but i can't record video in 1080p/60fps. In stock camera isn't setting frame rate. Do you know, how?
And slow motion (720p/120fps) is very sh*t.
Some update? Or mod? I try video record applications, but nothing run.
I have stock 4.4.2 with VibeUi (and clear android)
Thx
I just bought it. Will check and get back.

l can confirm, no 1080/60fps.... they lied about that option.
i also confirm. i received the phone... no 60fps option i also cannot change the photo resolution. it is fixed to max 16mpx
Can you double tap to wake? How are the LED notifications? Can you record video in 1080p60fps?
I'm about to return a google pixel and thinking of a worthy replacement.
Also for the AT&T users, AT&T doesn't give you some features on unlocked phones like oneplus or google pixel which I experience. I believe wifi calling, what other features would I gain by using an AT&T device on AT&T that unlocked phones cant get?
Oh and please let there be root.
Double tap to wake, yes. There are no led notifications just the second screen. And 1080p 60fps is off by default in order to turn on the video stabilization but it is there
No root yet though

I've found that video on using the wide angle 8mp sucks in the FHD 1080p mode even with stabilization. Using 1080p60 though it works works better.
The regular 16mp camera is good on both(of course 1080p60 looks better).
