Why isn't there focus options in our camera app.
My s4 camera app works as intended by the samsung people but I would like macro focus options too.
Or atleast custom focus. In the auto focus my image that I want just turns up before s4 camera focuses on an image.
Any help

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.

I have tried both of the cameras, normal gingerbread camera and miui camera. I can only focus before taking a picture. Anyone knows how to focus before taking a video/focus while recording ?

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.
I wanna know where the Macro setting is in the camera options. If it is not there, is there any alternate option for macro?

macros was removed, its just baked into the touch focus now, just get really close and tap the subject area. I've successfully taken pictures of the pixels on my s3, its pretty amazing to be honest

Anyone notice that there's some issue with the focus of the camera? Auto focus doesn't seem to be working very well.
Additionally any portrait pictures taken will shows up in dropbox as landscape. Even if it shows up as portrait in gallery.
Yes .... Same focus problem but not the orientation

For focus, use LGCamera.
