Lumia 1520 :: How To Use Zoom Feature Before Framing / Taking Camera Shot
May 24, 2014
How to you use the zoom features of the camera? I know how to use the zoom after taking the shot but how do you use the zoom feature before framing/taking the shot?
Have already upated my 1520 to lumia demin ,however for the new lumia camera function , it seems cannot zoom further , unlike the nokia camera which had the ability to zoom more especially taking pics of the notes in class.
So I've been having this issue for a while now, and can't seem to figure out what's causing it. I mainly noticed it after downloading the 8.1 update, but I frequently have issues with the camera freezing when taking pictures. What happens is I will let the autofocus do it's thing, and then when I press the shutter, the autofocus thing stays on the screen, and nothing happens. I've figured out that if I just give it time, it will eventually snap the photo, but no photo is ever saved in the camera roll. I thought it was a thing with my SD card, but it happens when I open the camera fresh too, and not only in taking pictures one after another.
Lumia 1520 with the latest version of the Nokia Camera app.
Here's the issue, every time I attempt to take a picture using the camera button in the right side of the phone using the Nokia Camera app, my Lumia 1520 will start taking pictures non-stop other unless I exit the app to stop it. Now if I take the picture using the Nokia Camera app on-screen button the phone will only take a single picture. I remember that this problem was not present when I got my Lumia 1520 in January of this year. My thinking is that this problem has to do with a software update to the Nokia Camera app.
The other day I attended a concert and took plenty of photos, but I had a hard time getting any of them to turn out good due to the low light, distance from the stage and the movement on stage. How does one take a good low-light photo with lots of movement without the photo getting blurry on the 1520?
I'm using Google Camera on my Nexus 6. On my earlier Android and Nokia phones, taking panorama pics were be easy and I used them very frequently.
But with the nexus 6, the camera doesn't take good panorama pics. I've been able to do so successfully only once. At all other times it doesn't take a good pic.
I also get a message "Fish eye is not complete. Are you sure you want to continue?" .
It's asking me to complete images above and below the line that I wanted to take. Panorama doesn't really need those angles. How to utilize the camera app for this correctly.
I cannot zoom in or out on a subject using the camera feature. I have tried sliding finger up and down the trackpad and have also tried using the volume up and down keys. Neither works.
i have been using this torch for 5 months now and i still cant zoom in or out when using the video camera. is it my phone only or others have the same problem? the camera does zoom in/out.
I receive an error message saying "cannot zoom in this mode" whenever I try to zoom in when taking a normal picture. This happens whether I'm in auto, beauty face or panorama. I cannot find a setting that controls this. I've had the phone for about two months and could swear this had not been a problem initially. I can't relate the problem to anything I've set on the phone. . a Spring Galaxy S5
The zoom feature was initially working with the touchpad button, however it stopped working abruptly and I am not too sure if it was a setting somewhere that I accidentally disabled. How to enable it or does this sound like a hardware issue?
I have recently bought an Xperia Ray. The problem with the phone is that sometimes it just freezes when I try to take a photo or use the digital zoom on the camera. I have to take out the battery to start the phone. I have already restored the phone once, to see if the problem will go away, but it hasn't.
I have an unlocked 1520 running Denim(not Preveiw for Developers). For some reason whenever I switch to wide-mode and back the screen takes at least several seconds, sometimes 5-6 seconds to rotate. Is there any way to get the screen to rotate faster?
I have a problem with my 1520, as every time I use the hardware button to take a photo, I doesn't stop after the first shot, but keeps taking more shots infinity, which is really frustrating. If I press the on-screen button it works fine.
So we're all probably pretty much busy with updating our Lumia Handsets with the Cyan update.I rolled back my DP to 8.0 and updated just fine, however after resetting the phone and setting it up by telling it to restore it from the backup, it gets stuck around at 25% and fails to move ahead.
I keep getting a message after a while saying that the restore process is taking unusually long and if I'd like to skip restoring instead. After waiting for approx. 30 mins once, and then doing it again and waiting for almost an hour, I've now initiated a reset on the phone a third time.
Having issues restoring from their backup? (Note: I moved to 8.0 from DP last week and then updated to 8.1 DP again and did a restore then and it had worked perfectly at the time without issues.
It seems to have occurred recently and am wondering if it is related to the recent Nokia camera/beta camera updates. I'm running 8.1 DP but I don't believe I was having this issue before and I don't believe I have had any recent big falls or jolts to the phone that might cause mechanical problems and I believe the zoom works fine in still pictures.
My sony xperia neo l doesnt have zoom feature in it. I want to add zoom feature to it, some third party app which will perfectly with my neo l to add zoom feature.
I've recently picked up a 1520 and am now wondering which camera App to use. I haven't taken many pictures in the past but that is likely to change since I will be travelling a lot soon (which admittedly was the main reason to pick up a new device).
Taking a screen shot requires holding the power and volume down buttons for a few seconds. Couldn't it be done by just pressing them? Also, it should take the screen shot when the buttons are released. As it is now, everytime I force a reboot, I also take a screen shot.
Recently I've been taking pictures with my 1520 camera and noticed the image was shaking. At first I thought I was shaking so I put it in a tripod and it was doing the same thing. I'm running dev pre 8.1.
I have a problem since last month. My camera doesn't work. When I open any of the apps that use the camera it just get black. Bought a new camera and still the same problem. Updated to 8.1 and still the same problem.
Just come back to my 1520 yesterday and updated it to Cyan 8.1 which means the current version of Nokia Camera, however, Ive noticed that the focus ring, which normally flashes as its focusing when you depress the camera button half way, sometimes just appears on-screen and no longer looks as if its focusing, but as if its already focussed and ready to take the shot. I have to close Nokia camera and re-open it again so it focusses, but any shots after the `st one.. the focus ring is just solid.
The Windows Camera still focuses as does ProShot.. however, I want to use Living Images in storyteller.Does this have anything to do with this "Burst Shot" thats supposed to be in the camera.
i recently got the cyan update for my NL lumia 1520 (yes we have it!)and just since a few days i have been experiencing problems with the stock camera.there is this wonderful feature called <<tap to take photo>> (its been around since wp7)normally you tap the screen, it places a nice square around the place you tapped, it focusses on that spot and then takes a photo.now it just skips the focus and square part and just takes the picture.
this still isnt that bad, cuz of the lumia camera (lumia right, at least the nokia one with recropping and stuff) but whenever i want to take a shot from whatsapp it opens up the stock camera app and it takes bad pictures all over again!its horrible! i didnt spend over 500$ to have a device that cant take proper pictures!and i know its not the cyan update in general because my brother has the 925 and now problems.
