is there any camera application on the market that supports the option of taking multiple pictures without the user pressing the button to take them?
for example, an app that can do the following: i set the app to take a picture every 5 seconds for an hour without me touching the phone.
if not, anyone care to develop something like this? it would be quite useful in many different circumstances
Not that I know of, but I just found a cool app called Motion Detector. Will monitor for motion from your camera and upload a picture.
Though, if your phone is the one doing the motion detecting... how do you get the updates?
thanks for the help, ill check out that app. it may be of some use
if i hold the camera vertical and take pics, then email or post them, the top of the pic is now on the left side and it is a horizontal picture. (sure hope i am explaining this properly). if i take a picture horizontally, it will remain as it should.
this is default on most phones i think. wifes iPhone 4 does the same thing.
is there a way to make the camera app know that i am taking a pic a certain way and it saves them accordingly?
if i take a picture horizontally, it will look correct and i will not have to rotate the picture. this is just confusing to me that the phone doesnt know that i am taking a picture vertically and saves if horizontally.
any explanation?
Just curious, have you tried changing the pic resolution? Its set to widescreen by default. With camera open, open the menu, pick settings and top choice is resolution.
when changed i am sure it will work but then the quality is downgraded, correct?
i am in the middle of an SBF and 6.5 install right now or i would check. but i defiantly will once it is up.
i take a lot of pics of my 7 month old and want the best quality possible, ya know?
The first choice below widescreen is 5mp so probably not downgraded much.
changing the resolution doesn't change the horizontal issue...I would like to find a fix for this also.
Thx.

same here. this drives me nuts. especially when I am sending a MMS
Not really a solution but you can easily turn them to the left, or right, in the Gallery-app and email them from there!

or posting to Facebook
and i can also confirm that the change of settings do nothing. only makes it a more square picture and not widescreen. . .

good to know. I assume gallery "saves" the new orientation? now that I think about it, the pictures always look correct in the gallery app but are sideways when posting to facebook or sending an MMS
Vignette?
I saw somewhere that using Vignette fixed the prob on other android models. Not free..
I tried the demo version and it does seem to work for me so I a probably going to buy the app.
is there any other reason to switch to this application, vs the stock? i dont mind switching but would like to know more information you know?
not that you have it, just saying... i wonder what other perks there are..
I just tried out the demo version of Vignette. I does fix the locked in landscape issue, however, it seemed quite slow. I took a picture, then it had to make a preview (took several seconds) and then I had to click an option to "Save & Close" the preview. And then I was back to a position to be able to take another picture.
I'm not sure if the paid version is faster or not. I guess I could spend the ~$4.00 and return/refund within 15 minutes if I don't like it. Does anyone else know of any other 3rd party camera apps? I did a quick search in Android Market and didn't find anything promising. (I'll have to do more digging.)
EDIT: There is an autosave setting that I checked on that took some time and work out of what I mentioned earlier. This app is promising, but isn't very polished... especially for ~$4.00 USD.
dont pay.. i uhm. i have it. i will let you know. but i think that it is slow. i am sure you can change the auto preview though and just snap and go and review later.
I need to play with a little more, also. I only tried it for a few minutes. I didn't notice it being that slow but it may be because I didn't spend enough time. I may have to try the full version and return it if I don't like it. There is another camera app on android that is highly rated-Camera Zoom FX. I don't know if it fixes the problem and there wasn't a demo....
ok...
there is an auto save option. but when checked, it still shows the picture for 2 seconds. so i am thinking vs the stock camera app, it takes 4 seconds more to take another picture.
obviously this app has other options like effects or what not. but when taking a picture, i dont want to go through all of them and choose and then take the picture. i would rather just edit them later on photoshop or something similar.
so i am going to stick with the stock camera app and just deal with taking them horizontally until this is resolved, or not.
I have noticed the same thing, it seems pretty clear that the orientation EXIF flag is saved correctly with the picture since the gallery displays the picture correctly, and the EXIF auto-rotate feature on software like digikam seems to operate correctly.
This is how most digital cameras operate and should make it irrelevant how the images are actually stored.
Unfortunately a lot of the other android software doesn't seem to be aware of this flag. And there doesn't seem to be a setting to make the camera save the picture in it's correct orientation directly.
Oh and as far as the resolution settings goes, the widescreen setting is actually a lower resolution than the 5MP setting.
vignette has a " auto detect orientation" feature too

I was playing with it at lunch. Click on the options (normal) and change to "fast shot". I was able to take a number of pics quickly. Doing this auto saves the pics....
So, I have just upgraded myself from G3 to this Beast phone (love it)
Native Galaxy Gallery App there is a Story Mode/ selection that puts together all the pictures you have then in a given day or location and adds background music & some effects but, in doing so it cuts the pictures so you end up with half the face or picture to see.
Are there any settings the I need to change to make the pictures show in full or is there any fix for this.
I tried searching the forums but found nothing. In case I was wrong please direct me to the correct post
I'm finding that I have the same results and can't find any settings to change the way it seems to zoom in on each photo. Really nice idea but poor execution...

No one else seems to have this issue or care for this feature
or they are too busy rooting/ unlocking the SD version of the phone
Can't say about others, but in my case: 1. easy enough to do it manually just the way I want it 2. it almost never works properly, besides cutting off the frame. Case in point, my phone created album called "at the beach", after we went to the beach. Well, most of the pictures in this album are not from anywhere near the beach and since I have location embedded in every picture and phone already correctly identified I was at the beach including particular field, not sure why it added pictures taken at home and many other locations. Bottom line: useless function personally I don't care about.
Just got the Samsung Galaxy S8+........Really like the slo-mo feature on the camera but is there not a way to shoot a full length video in slo-mo? As far as I can tell there are only two spots in the the footage you take that you can get slo-mo. What good is that? If there is not a way to remedy this, is there any other camera app I can get that will perform the way I want it to? Thanks in advance!
On the S7 by default it pretty much just put the middle of the video in slow-mo but you could go into the editor and extend it to the full length... I have not tried on here yet but give that a shot.
You can long press on one of the slomo sections and delete it. Then expand the other all the way. I was wondering g the same thing and it took me a little bit to figure it out.
Long press it is! Nowhere could I find any information on this subject. Thanks so much!
I am wondering if anyone knows of a simple photo editing app.
There are plenty that are very powerful, but I don't want to do that on my phone. I'd rather do it on a desktop. I am looking for something that I have had a need for plenty of times, take a picture and then highlight the issue that the picture is showing. For example, taking a picture and then being able to insert an arrow or draw a circle around something in the picture to highlight it. Even adding some text might be nice. Then I could quickly add what I need and forward it off to whomever I need to send it to.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Search for cm gallery app under Android/apps it's small, practical and meets your requirements.
Perfect. Thanks!
Interesting to note that the newest version (the one labeled Lineage OS) loses that drawing feature, only the CM version has it.
Thanks.
I like an app called Sketch.

That looks good, although overkill for my needs. Looks very powerful though.
I just found Pixlr which seems like it is simple, but effective for what I need.
