The main camera always goes into macro mode when selected. The selfie camera works fine. But for interim shots the main camera selects macro and the the flash comes on permanently. Phone will then only respond to On/Off button.
My z5 initially encountered error when activating camera "camera or flash might have been used in other apps".. Camera failed to launch/open, then the screen becomes blurry when camera is on. Now, managed to switch on camera but it stays on macro mode all the time, and unable to focus. When capturing images, it hanged and i need to switch off and on back, then only the phone seems ok.. But until now, the cam still in problematic mode.
When I use manual mode in camera, tripod icon and macro icon doesn't show when i use tripod or shoot a macro object. But the icons show when i use superior auto mode. Did all you have the same behaviour ? or it's just my phone ? My device is Z5 Premium Dual ....
I'm getting blurred images in macro mode or when the object is close and the camera app is failing to recognize close objects conssistently. I've tried repairing my phone but no dice. The issue is greater in case of small objects, eg flowers, etc and the camera doesn't even focus properly on it, resulting in abrupt and blur images.
new owner of the 920. Not yet proud of it though.How come there is no macro mode for the camera? The close-up "scenes" has trouble focusing things 6 inches away.
There is no macro mode listed in the RAZR M's camera settings. Is this because the stock app does not support macro (merely a software thing) or is it a camera hardware feature that is missing on the M camera?
My N82 while taking pictures focuses properly in macro mode. (Green rectangular box). Other than macro mode I can see only red rectangular box (indicating improper focus?) and the photo seems to be blurred. Macro mode photos seems to be good. Even if I put camera settings to 'Auto' I am getting red rectangular box most of the times instead of green. Software or hardware fault?
I feel difficult to take a picture with macro mod by default camera. When I try to shoot closely something, it just appears a text "macro" and focus clearly to the object (macro) but shortly, I can't capture quick. I also use "fast burst camera" but it even not focus everything closely as macro mod. How I take a macro picture properly ??
I've a Xperia Z5 with FW final .200 (last one) and I've encountered with a problem with Camera  I've setted fingerprints as lock, with a pin (clearly, for backup).  And it happens that when I need to take a photo rapidly, starting by a black screen (in standby so), through dedicated camera button, I can't modify some settings into Camera, just like modality or resolution or whatever, I can only modifiy Flash or Noflash et similia  I don't understand this choice and I don't respect It too  It's simply crazy to let open camera and we can't modify some settings, just because phone's locked ...  It's better to let modify for taking photos as simplier as possibile, because we can't firstly unlock our phone and then press on our camera button  And I don't think It's for security because I don't think that a thief who moves some settings in Camera can do more damns that He could do
According to the Android Documentation, Camera.Parameters, the FOCUS_MODE_FIXED should usually set the camera focus to a hyperfocal mode, which should cover most of the focusable area. Testing with it however reveals that on my Xperia Neo, it is equal to FOCUS_MODE_INFINITE, which means that not a lot besides the sky and far-far away buildings are in focusable area.
Testing with a simple scene with different distances, it seems that in infinite setting, even stuff at some 30 meters (haven't measured exactly, but it's far away under cealing) is unfocused.
Sample pictures taken rapidly after each other (auto and fixed even at the same second): [URL]
Is there still a way to get it into proper hyperfocal setting?
The reason I'm asking this is to be able to put the camera into car and have it stay at a fixed focus, since vibrations of the car distract the continuous autofocus.
I've bought my Xperia Z2 few days ago and have strange issue - my camera button doesn't work in every mode. I can open camera app by holding button but can't take any picture in auto mode. Button works in 4K video, Timeshift video, AR effects, Timeshift burst mode. I didn't check Vine, info-eye and social live modes only. I can take pictures by touching the screen button in every mode.
I got a txt earlier and when I went to reply to the msg the phone vibrated and entered the video camera mode, I exited the camera and before I had a chance to do anything the same thing happened again and in now happening non stop, turning the phone off removing the battery and powering up again and its still happening, as soon as I unlock it it goes straight to the camera.
Every time I choose a scene mode and go back to manual mode the settings gets reset. (i.e. focus mode, ISO, metering mode.) It is annoying to set it everytime. Why can't the app remember my settings.
Since upgrading to IOS 5.1 when iPhone 4 is locked the camera icon does not open when selected. I have to unlock phone with my passcoded to use the camera. The feature worked with IOS 5.0.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, without any obvious reasons, my phone started to enter camera-mode, focusing in and out, and taking pictures. Â It does not matter if I use the phone, or it's lying on the table. If I'm using software, or not. Â I slept an hour this afternoon, it had taken roughly 50 pictures during 25 minutes, 10 during one random minute, then 1 picture 5 minutes later, so it doesen't seem to be any system behind it.
I've a problem in z2 whenever i use time shift video mode the camera turn much darker than the normal video mode in same light condition .. I tried alot of times but the results are the same....
I'm positive this has been brought up before, the camera button is only able to load up in auto superior mode which is great for basic quick camera needs but for users who want to use the camera to its full potential (20.7 MP) you need to shoot in manual mode. It seems like a simple addition to the camera which would allow everyone to use the camera app how they prefer. Is there a fix coming for this, is there a setting I'm missing? Seems silly to put a good camera in a phone and have it so inaccessible.
I have bought Xperia z3 for 2 months. I have just noticed something that might be a problem with my camera. Â In camera mode (both video and camera)Â sometime the screen shows soft black wave running from top to bottom (for more understanding about "black wave" just like when you focus the camera on TV screen). However I didn't focus my camera on TV screen anymore. The problem last for 1-5 minutes. When this problem occurred If I go on and take a photo sometime the wave could be captured into my photo as well but mostly these running black wave can not be captured into the photo. Â (I have attached a photo taken when the running black wave problem occurred and this time it was captured in my photo.
I have a Xperia Z3 +. After the latest update of Android's camera my device in manual and automatic shooting mode is out of context and Zoom, I can only use other capture modes and some applications that take pictures.
I just bought a used iphone 2g of ebay.When I first got it, I could use all the iPod features without my sim card in.I then put my sim card in and it didnt work so I jailbroke it using PWNED i think.Now it would accept my sim card, but it showed only one little bar of service and it wouldnt place or recieve calls.I was stupid and I then clicked restore in itunes to see if that would make my service work.I have an at&t 3g sim card by the way, but I am using it w/o data plan. My problem is now it wont exit recovery mode. All I see is the screen with the itunes logo and the cable being plugged into it. All I can do it slide the bar to make an emergency call, I cant even use the iPod features. There is a little lock icon above the picture and it stills shows that tiny bar of service.What can I do to fix this? I have tried redsnow and pwned so many times now and it just all goes back to this screen.My goal is to be able to put my at&t 3g sim card in and use the phone and i will deactivate data.
I Have a brand new iPhone with current update. I am not able to turn my phone horizontal and have the picture rotate with the phone. I understand this is a setting lock but how do I fix it with this version. I had a 4s model and it had the same issue that I never resolved. Can this be fixed stil?
