Hi,
Using the new Google Camera App. Has anyone found a way
to zoom in with this app??? The normal volume button to
zoom in doesn't work in this app with the S4.
Thanks, Ken
Found answer!!
Nevermind,
I found my own answer. For anyone else:
"The camera focuses automatically, but you can touch the screen to manually focus on a different part of the image. Pinch two or more fingers together to zoom in, and spread them to zoom out."

i was thinking, say i see something interesting, by the time i start camera etc etc it will be gone..
is there or can someone do a quick snap program?
a click will
go to camera
focus and snap
based on pre determined settings
that will be good
Not that I've found - the camera app is what it is, and you can't get past the cutesy animated GUI.
With HD Tweak you can assign "camera" to one of the TF3D home screen soft buttons, which will launch direct into the "take picture" screen, saving you a flip and a press, but you still have to hit the shutter button.
hope someone does it
Try MortScripts. I have no personal experience though..
how can mortscript help for this?
I thought may be possible to reduce clicks required by using automation. May be wrong though
Any way camera start up time is still long even with the Rhodium ported camera app on cooked ROMs (slightly better though).
Use Dutty's rom, it has the Diamond 2 camera app in it.
The screen doesn not lag, and it is very fast!
am hoping for a see it snap it kind of program... is there no way to interface with the cam directly? any developers here pls
hmm no one knows?
When I am using my camera I think that it would be much easier to use the volumebuttons to zoom, instead of using the slide on the screen. Is this possible?
Regards
Hans
Using the volume buttons to zoom in/out in either camera out video modes would be a great option. I would prefer that.
Anyone able to do that yet?
*up*
I would like this too... please
Is there an app that allows you to take a picture with a screen tap or icon rather than the trackpad as mine is totally dead. My own fault. Must use flash and take pics at 5mp. Thanks.
I m not sure what you mean but can't you long press on the screen to take picture?
hope that helps...cheers...

I had no idea that worked. Big thanks! Takes a while but problem solved.
That works, but you can't take video like that. Is it possible to port the camera from the EVO 4G or some other device, since that has the trigger on the screen? My trackpad is dead too and I would like to take videos.
I found some highly modified version, which is ugly and has some broken functionality so I'm looking for others.
I've tried all alternative camera apps from the market, but none are as good. All I'd like is the camera app that came with the phone, but had an on-screen shutter button.
Hi there, I've had my DHD for awhile now and have been looking for ways to capture my photos by just touching and holding on the screen but haven't had any luck on it. On my previous HTC devices I had no problem capturing photos by just touching and holding on the screen.
Is this because of a setting being turned of? or is it just the stock camera app that comes with android 2.2 that doesn't include the feature?
Thanks in advance.
Touching the screen sets the point of focus so I'm note sure how this would work?
Yeah that's what I also thought so it's most probably the camera app that doesn't let me do it. I also read I that you're able to change the volume buttons' functions on the dhd, that could also work..
I thought the vol buttons operated the zoom?
Talkiing of zoom, has anyone noticed that the camer seems zoomed in a little by default (not according to the zoom meter) making if very difficult to get the subject in the frame without going some distance away?
Thats because you're on 16/9 mode. Switch to 4/3 and you'll get a lot more in your frame

Hmmm, that answers the problem to an extent - except I seem to have two modes only:
4:3
5:3 (widescreen)
Where the hell did 5:3 come from? Surely this should be 16:9 as above?

Yes, I have, especially when taking a video....when I shoot a pic, it seems normal
I did a search, but can't find a specific answer. I have a new S4 and took a variety of pictures in both vertical and horizontal orientation. Auto rotate screen is set to on in device settings. All photos displayed properly in the Gallery app, but when I uploaded all to Dropbox, some were orientated sideways and I had to manually rotate them clockwise. This is my first Samsung phone, but all other phones I've had before, Motorola, HTC, etc. did not do this. Am I missing a simple setting on the Samsung to keep photos in the proper orientation or is there a known problem with EXIF data? I have found others complaining about the same problem when emailing photos, uploading to Facebook, etc.
I've noticed that since phones autocorrect the orientation of pictures without saving the correct view. If the camera takes a picture in portrait with the home button on the bottom then there shouldn't be a problem. If you take a landscape picture with the volume buttons facing down, then there shouldn't be a problem. This is assuming the auto rotation is enabled in the screen settings. Yes, I've experienced what you are explaining with since websites. Trial and error.
Quickpic, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder is a simple and small gallery replacement that can fix orientation issues.

Thanks oscar, I'll give Quickpic a try and see if uploading from that app does the trick. I can work around the problem, it's just an annoyance I hadn't seen before. I guess Dropbox is one program that does not read the orientation flag properly, at least as output on the S4.
