When you hold the phone horizontally , it captures a wider field of view than when holding it vertically. Is there any way to keep that wider field of view while holding the phone vertically?
Probably not because that's how camera sensor is mounted in the phone. BTW vertical videos should be illegal

I assume you know the standard gestures which can be used on the HD. Recently i stumbled over a gesture i never heard/read of. Try this:
Open a picture in album viewer, and choose any object of interest you would like to zoom to. Now draw a (almost complete) circle clockwise around the spot, and it will zoom in. Draw a circle counterclockwise and it will zoom out a bit. Double-tap will zoom out completely (ok no surprise here).
Are there any other secrets? Or is it just me not reading the manual?
Yeah, it was in the manual. But the thing I found out watching video on youtube is this:
open picture, zoom, tap on the screen and hold your finger while you wont see in the upper left corner the box which represent the whole picutre, and now you can move with your finger and with your current zoom you can slide through your picture

It's in the manual. You don't even have to actually 'read' it, you could also just look at the pictures
OMG next time i'll try harder

That's a nice find! Thx bondoer
You really do need to read the manual ~ It's all on Page 212
To zoom in or out of an image
While viewing an image, make a full circle motion on the screen with your finger.
Slide your finger counter-clockwise to zoom out. Slide your finger clockwise on an area to zoom in on that area.
Tips
• When you zoom in on an image, double tap the screen to automatically zoom out and fit the image to the screen.
• When you zoom in on an image, tap and hold the screen so you can pan the image.
• When you zoom in on an image, tap the screen to open the on-screen menu.
On the on-screen menu, tap and then select Save Screen Image to save the image on-screen as a new file.

Hey, does anyone know if the camera app from an i9000 will work on the tab? I really miss being able to tap to set focus AND exposure.
I really would love to have it as well. The ability to tap to set the exposure is brilliant.

If you press and hold on the 'Take Shot' button on the right of the screen instead of taking the shot immediately it will focus and expose.
Once you have it focused and exposed to how you want it, without taking your finger off the trigger move the camera to where you want it. The focus and exposure is locked whilst you keep your finger pressed. Now all you have to do is align the shot and take your finger off the trigger... job done.
I've done this trick in capturing 'Depth of Field' by simply first finding a close object and press & hold to lock the exposure and focus. I then move the camera to the subject which is in focus and when I take my finger off the trigger the background will be out of focus.
Another tip..... If whilst pressing and holding the shutter button you get the exposure and focus locked but then decide you don't want to take a shot, instead of taking your finger off the trigger which will take the shot all you have to do is keep your finger on the trigger and place another finger or thumb on the screen and then remove your finger from the trigger.
What this action will do is cancel out the trigger activation and no shot is taken.

Unfortunately, on mine that will only lock the focus and the exposure is still all over the map when I re-compose the frame :\

I need a screen capture app that is very simple in that it should capture screen when app is run. Whenever I am doing stuffs in my phone, I quickly capture screen, doodle, crop and share. When I was in Note 3, I was using Air Command Shortcut and I was triggering this from Pie Control (translucent pie with customized links) and then clicking Screen Capture (of Air command), doodle, crop and share. I did all this without using S-Pen. Yes I can use S-Pen, or palm swipe or click Home+Power to capture but these are all cumbersome. Removing S-Pen every single time is tedious. Have to be very precise with palm swipe as page may slightly scroll before screen is captured. Home+Power if not clicked instantaneously ends up activating Home or Power button.
Until Air Command Shortcut gets compatible with Note 4, I want some screen capture app that I can trigger from Pie Control.
I recently became interested in full Android smart watches and an considering a No.1 D5 or Finow X5. After watching lots of videos, it seems one of the problems with round face watches is apps that have important content off screen in one of the corners.
It would be cool if someone could make a simple app that would activate zoom mode by pressing and holding or double tapping the primary (or only) side button. Each subsequent press would zoom in on one of the corners of the screen then finally exit. Or maybe better, shifting the screen left out right by half the screen width. It seems the accessibility mode of Android would be able to approximate this.
Thoughts?
