Hi,
My camera takes a while before it captures a picture and by the time it takes the picture, I miss the shot.
It takes like 5-10 sec after it stops focusing to snap the picture.
Is there a way to speed up the time between when I press the capture button and when the actual image is taken?
HeroC CM7 Nightily.
Thanks.
Try miui camera in the themes and apps section or try camera 360. Check out the apps that will help thread in that section, i just told someone how they can speed up their phone, check your settings with what i told that guy to do, it will probably help.
I like the MIUI camera. Raise your min CPU setting to 352MHz I think that's what he was saying.

Hi
Been searching for a way to disable the auto exposure feature when the camera is used in dark scenes. Any registry mod to turn this off?
Sorry if it's been posted before, but I've searched this forum for shutter, exposure etc and have not found any reference to it.
I know the Diamond camera quality is terrible, but would be nice to trade blur pictures with dark but sharp pictures.
Actually diamond camera isn't terrible. It's just bad when doing photos in the dark, like every camera without flash.
it would be worthwhile to have a fixed focus as an option...similar to the landscape modes in digital cams where u just point n click without focusing
of course, the focusing works great in the diamond...but sometimes u might want to take a pic very quickly without waiting for the focus to kick in
also in situations where u want the background and foreground to be equally focused
not sure if there's any reg tweak for this
Is there a tweak for quicker exposure? Everytime i try to take a pic of my baby its always blurred or she's looking the other way by the time its taken the pic!

Do as i do, remove the sound of the shutter, take the picture and only say after
"Get ready ... 1...2...3! ok"
"ah.. but i wasnt ready..!?"
"Its good believe me "
IN advanced config you can set shutter to 0 seconds?
maybe this will help

someone try this please!
Better Quality
Hi, To improve the quality on my phone i removed the back cover and popped the plastic cover on the back case. Wooow the quality is fantastic after that.
Only downsize is you have to be careful in cleaning the lens. A bit of a clean from your shirt or top does the trick
I have to say my Diamond camera pictures are superb. I really do like the quality of pictures it takes and I use it a lot. Low light, macro, daylight, it's all good. However, controlling it can be very frustrating at times.
Sometimes I can't get it to respond or take a picture at all. I've used many ROMs and have had the same experience across the board. I'm sure many other Diamond or Touch Pro users have as well. I've found the problem to be that dang circle smart touch ring. It sounds useful to use with the camera but IMHO it only causes more problems than good. Initially I had my camera shoot option set to "Touch and press". I thought I would like to be able to focus first then click the action button after. Like my regular point and shoot. Well, it works some of the time. A lot of times it hangs up or freezes OR... It starts zooming in or out because I accidentally touch the ring.
So with that said, I have since forced my camera to work like the old days. Click of the action button only. I set my shooting option to "Full Press". It still will auto focus on it's own before the shot and then take the picture automatically. I've had no problems with this. It works great even with macro shots. But there is a second step I had to do which is actually more important I think. That is disabling the ring within the camera. To do that go into the the Registry Key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\Camera
Back this key up then proceed to delete everything in it. That will disable the smart touch ring from working within the camera. It still works everywhere else though. I don't see the need to zoom when taking the pic since it's digital zoom anyway. I can zoom on it in the Album afterward. You can still zoom if you want just by pressing the screen and touching it though.
Now my camera has been working like a charm without any hang ups, freezes or accidental zooming. Also when I press the screen to bring up the menu or hit the X it opens up every time too. Now when I reach for my Diamond camera to take a picture I'm much more confident that it will work on demand every time.
Much better for me and maybe you.
Thanks for the tip! I haven't taken the plunge on registry editing yet, but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I decide to. Any chance of releasing the edits as a CAB?
Really shame on HTC for not including this as an option. The combo zoom and shoot button is ridiculous.
I removed the entries from HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\Camera as you recommended also set the shoot option to Full Press and now i'm pretty pleased with my HTC Touch Diamond's camera. Thanks for sharing this info with us!
I'm running CM7 on my i897, and there's a split-second lag between when you tap the icon to take a picture and the picture that's actually stored. The CM7 camera app dramatizes this by actually giving you two still frame previews: one that instantly appears when you tap the icon, and another that appears a split-second later that is the actual photo that's been taken. The problem, other than the lag itself, is that your subject is often out of focus that split-second later, rendering the camera more or less useless unless you're taking still photos.
I just flashed back to stock Froyo to see if this problem was unique to CM7, and turns out it's just as bad.
I've been searching for a thread that addresses this problem, but haven't found one yet. Could someone help?
Thanks.
I was trying to take pics of my animals, and they Constantly move and every time I try to get a cute pic of them, the camera has to focus for almost a second then take the pic.
Is there any setting I missed that will keep a constant focus and not have to re focus before every pic is taken?

Actually you do that with the botton of the camera on Z1, when you try making the pics if you push the botton a little bit it will start focusing and when the cube on display it's green that mean the camera is ready to take pic and you will not have delay in making pictures. I think what you do is click on the botton without get the focus first so the camera have to do it for you and that is why you get a sec of delay.
I tried. I selected 'Shot & more' mode. Then took picture of a moving objects (I tried kids, vehicle etc).
The object was moving from one end of the frame to other. While taking the picture, I hold down the camera button.
Once the button is released, its starts 'processing'. When processing is completed, it displays the photo.
How much ever I try, I get only 'Best photo' and sometimes 'Eraser' options enabled.
Never Drama shot or Panning shot enabled.
Any idea how to get this working?

As someone who posted in the forum linked above, I can tell you the advice you need is there. There are also lots of official guides for the S4 that will help with the S5 as well.

Had a chance to play with it again yesterday.
I was finally able to crack it.
What I was doing wrong: When the subject entered the frame, press the camera icon. Keep holding until subject exited the frame.
What need to be done: When subject enters the frame, tap on the camera icon. Like you do when taking normal picture. Don't hold it.
Camera will display 'Processing....'. I think its taking additional pictures at this time. Hence hold your camera study and don't change the frame.
Once camera completes processing, it will display the image with all options like Drama shot, Panning shot etc enabled.
Attached is my successful attempt from it.

Thanks so freaking much. Moving Subject MUST be in frame FIRST before you TAP ONCE. Do not HOLD or it will take burst shots and only offer "BEST SHOT" feature. Thanks so much i was getting so frustrated
