In menu "Advanced features" you can set "Quick launch camera" by quickly pressing the Power key twice.
It works really well for instant shots but depending of the conditions sometimes the autofocus just wonders.
Today I found working version of gcam for our phone and boy, does it focus instantly even in dark places. Why the hel this app is not in place of the current default camera app.
There is also the function "Magnifier" which uses the rear camera and zooms really descend with stable focus. The app have few and clear buttons. I`m not sure but I suspect it`s using not the main cam but the wide one because of the minimal focus distance. Anyway, my grandma was impressed of how practical was.
Belgarionbg, can you tell me where to download gcam for our phone?
Thank you.
We already have a thread for it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/themes/pixel-camera-port-t3863094 and you can find links in my post under #5
Currently I have tested all exynos builds but only GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk is fully functional without crashing.
The only problem is that it shoots only in 8MP even if 24MP are selected. But it`s fast as hell.

Love the double-tap home button action to open the camera app. I find myself taking more pictures because I can snap a picture so insanely fast. Love it.
Camera app is great!
What can I say about how fast you can open the camera app? The phone comes with the default setting of hitting the home button twice. The camera app launches fairly quickly, not at formula 1 speeds, but fast enough for you to take a quick photo or video. Good job Samsung
The camera launches in under a second: I tried to shoot a stopwatch launched simultaneously with first tap on Home button, and there was 0.96 on the quickest shot I made.

Wow, that's actually pretty fast

I've seen some chatter about the photo app loading or snapping slowly. I have not experienced this. It's fine. Push the button and it captures in less than a second or faster every time.
Yep, the camera isn't the fastest I've ever used, but is def no slow by any means.
I'm not sure if it's just me. But the camera app takes a lot of time to load sometime and also hangs. It struggles to switch to the other camera. I've seen this happen information even after installed Google Camera App. I'm now concerned about it as it could be the the camera itself.
The pictures are great when it works. But its not as quick and fast as my previous X Play or X Style.
Any help to fix or in the right direction would be great. This is just a week old phone. Nothing done to the OS.
The time it takes to open the camera from standby is 1-2 seconds.
The time it takes to take a shot is on par with other highend phones I used (Huawei P10, HTC 10).
The time it takes to focus is instantaneous since this has a dual pixel phase detection auto focus (same as Galaxy S8). Definitely faster than my HTC 10.
The time it takes to save a picture when HDR is NOT triggered is on par with other highend phones.
The time it takes to save a picture when HDR is triggered is ~2 seconds (same as HTC 10).
Try turning off HDR (turn off auto HDR) and you'll see how fast the camera is.
It's the auto HDR processing that causes some delay when SAVING the pictures.

The camera app launches fast enough. But I'm seeing lag when I take photos.
It's definitely not as fast taking photos compared to the GS7 (my previous phone), which is disappointing.
It's still very annoying that the camera quick launch only goes to "Superior" auto mode.
Taking pictures using the dedicated shutter button even slower. I use the on screen button instead.

For me, launching the camera is nearly instant. I've been able to take at least ten photos in about 25 seconds with little blur. I'll admit that's in daylight or other well lit instances.
Even in low light, I can snap at least a couple of photos quickly and gain some usable photos. I can thank the image stabilizer, and f1.8 aperture for that.
The Moto Gestures for the camera is a godsend. (Twist twice to open the camera app.) I can take candids with this phone with ease and the read-write capability of the phone is extremely quick.
the app is fast to launch, but there is often shutter lag. I was walking around taking pictures and noticed I had a few shots of the ground as I lowered the phone too soon!

The ability to quick launch the camera from a double tap of the side/power button means you can launch the camera pretty fast and it responds snappily.
You can even use the camera while the phone is closed, using the tiny front screen as a viewfinder. That's novel and fun for selfies but it will only take square 1:1 pictures this way and the little screen is pretty useless, especially as it's a different resolution so makes framing anything other than a portrait impossible.
