Is it possible to use the optical zoom in apps that don't have zoom feature, Like IP Webcam? Can I set the zoom level and then run the app?
What resolution do you get in IP Webcam?
I don't have the Galaxy Camera but I'm 95% sure that it will work because the camera uses optical zoom which is controlled by hardware and not dependent on software because the zoom is controlled by the lens.

Nope it won't work!
The camera initialized with default values and zoom at 1x everytime you use an camera related app.
The 'Hardware-keys' only functioning within the samsung camera app.
Everywhere else the keys works as volume buttons.

So since the update the stock camera (for me at least) has been much better. I used to use Camera Zoom FX but i deleted it and use the stock since it's easier to switch between camcorder/still shots and i can actually mute the shutter sound.
But as I was playing with it I randomly noticed that you have to use 6MP to get a full screen shot, vs. with 8MP it's kind of centered in the screen. I also noticed in another thread someone mentioned using the 'ok' button on the keyboard could help force the camera to focus vs. waiting for its slow zoom in/out routine. This kind of sparked my interest to what settings does everyone use to get the best pics? Do you still use 3rd Party Apps? Any tips/tricks you use? It's my main camera since i don't own a separate digital camera so any input is welcome
....you can zoom in and out with the volume control buttons.
hmm nobody?

Hello, tried to zoom in using the camera today but no luck. I assumed the volume buttons would do it but all they did was change the ringer volume.. Nothing in the settings,
Use Camera Zoom FX app. But I think photos will be low quality with zoon

What is purpose of digital zoom? Non. It is just like you zoom photo in Photoshop or any other image editor or viewer...
does the camera work with other apps or can you only use the system app?
I'm particularly interested in
DMD Panorama
Lapse It
Fotor
can they be used?
I don't know about any of those specifically, but the android Camera API certainly works. Most 3rd party camera apps probably won't recognize the hardware zoom buttons (they seem to work as volume up/down by default), but the special purpose camera app I'm working on seems to be functioning well so far.
ah so zoom is special to the hardware on the device
zooming should still work fine if the app supports pinch zooming.
so does anyone use these apps on the Samsung successfully with zoom?
The "paper camera" app that comes with the camera (AT&T version, anyway) can operate the zoom using an onscreen slider, so zoom physically works in the Camera API, but unless the individual app specifically decides to intercept the hardware volume up/down keys and map them to zoom, then it will need some other way to control zoom (like the onscreen slider in paper camera). How many apps do that (other than the native samsung app), I have no idea.

I have android 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Ace. When I try to zoom in camera (pinch) it stay on 0.0x. I tried to set picture size on 1.3 MP but still nothing. Please help.
Use volume keys to zoom in. Not the pinch. Tap on the screen causes auto focus.
