I have this wierd issue. My camers sort of zooms in when i take a picture, it looks fine in the viewfinder
I've tried with multiple Roms and getting the same result
Of course you are trying to mess with Camera2Api... and Google camera.. that's the problem. Disable Camera2Api and you're ok.
Source: I have this and it's normal.

Hi guys,
I am hacing a problem with the autofocus on the default camera app on the nexus 4.
Before when I clicked a picture at the last moment it would make sure the camera is in focus before snapping a picture.
But now it just focus hunts with the focus shifting back and forth and the final result is unacceptable.
I want it to go back to the way it was before.
If I use another camera app like say the ever note camera it works perfectly fine. I'm only having a problem with the default camera.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys
Its the way it is.

I understand your problem, but IMO it is not really a problem. Just tap on the object you want to focus and then tap on the circle to take the picture.
Just tapping on the Circle sometimes keeps the focus and sometimes not. its better if you tap and hold for a while before you release your finger.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I just installed a custom camera app instead and its working like a charm. Its called QuickSnap.
The funny thing is that the default camera used to work perfectly fine before the 4.2 update.
Great!

Thats good, I myself noticed this thing on the stock camera app. but then again just few more taps fixed this but yes I tried Snap Camera
there no such issues with that, even on Instagram camera.
But I don't know why i feel that stock camera app is the best.
Cheers!
I'm having this big problem too.
Any of you guys notice that sometimes when using the flash it'll show the picture as overly bright right after you take it? but once you view it in the gallery it looks normal

So you can now shoot raw images with the camera, but how? I can't find any option for this

Swipe right on camera window and click on setting icon
You probably won't have much fun with it anyways - there's a new bug now in OOS 2.2.1 which has the camera freeze and force-close when the RAW setting is enabled I use Camera FV-5 which works without problems.

RAW mode works fine for me.
I dont understand why all software related bugs are not present in all op2 phones.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.
Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture
And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3
I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".
i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1
I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Yes. Everything works fine except the resolution of lens blur is low.

Which version are you using exactly?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7vk4UhGJqI0dEJWYlhlSDNwdWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.

Here you are. I extracted from /data/app.
Does anyone else have a problem with video recording? No matter which app I use the camera hunts for focus occasionally resulting in the frame zooming in and out, or out and in, slightly. I can't manage to get more than 3/5 seconds of rock solid framing?
I have the same issue (LineageOS 14.1) and came here to ask which app I should use to avoid this problem!
This video shows the refocusing really well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCcEp3oD4aY

Do you use the stock ROM or a custom ROM like I do?
Maybe ZTE will repair your phone?

It looks like your camera is refocussing a lot more frequently than mine!
I'm running the Stock ROM and camera app at the moment. I don't think it's a hardware problem as the camera does not refocuss when taking a still photo.
I can't have ZTE look at it as there's no service center in the UK (and I bought it from Gearbest).

You are right! :good: I changed the 'touch focus duration' in the LOS camera app from '0s' to 'infinite' and now the focus does only change if I click elsewhere!
There should a similar setting in the stock camera app!

I can't find such a setting in the stock camera app!
But I did find it in the Open Camera app!

Can you upload a screenshot of the video settings?
You mean 'Open Camera' (Camera App) - https://f-droid.org/app/net.sourceforge.opencamera? Which setting you changed? I had no refocussing without changing any setting.

Using Open Camera has fixed the problem for me!
The stock camera app only seems to have fixed focus settings for the stills camera!

To answer myself: The small icons in the menu represent the different focus modes! :good:

Yes it took a while to find the settings! The continuous autofocus setting ("c") causes my Mini to hunt for focus every 2/3 seconds. All the other settings work as expected with no hunting.
Doh! I've just found that you can lock focus and exposure using the Stock camera app! You just need to long press on the target circle after you have selected the object you want to focus on.
https://youtu.be/Un0FJCYKTcM?t=216
Once locked you can choose another object to focus another and it will lock focus on that without having to long press again.
I was wondering, If I install a custom ROM such as Lineage how do I take pictures from the third camera? That one with a wider lens behind the phone.
As you can see in the image attached, that is what I mean. I tried to find apps in the playstore but none of them offers me the option to use this wide angle camera.
This is still my first matter before moving to a new ROM.
Thanks.

Alright it turns out to be a software problem, the third camera is only accessible through the stock ROM with the stock camera.
I tried using Open Camera which recognizes three cameras but it doesn't take pics from the third one. I will wait for the OneUI 2 update from Samsung to see whether it'll be solved or not.

I've solved the riddle.
If you compare the field of view between std and pano, they are the same.
Go to settings, camera API
Activate camera 2api
Now compare the std and the pano.
The pano uses the wide angle (3rd) camera.
Edit; this doesn't work of you are running OneUI.
Only from a gsi
@physwizz your idea is good but OpenCamera still doesn't recognize it.
As you can see in the image attached bellow, the app knows that there are three cameras and if I keep switching between them it passes over three cameras' id's and none of them is the wide-angle camera. Well, I am using lineage with the reapper kernel. Which one were you using when it worked?

sorry,
You must be right.
It looked like I was getting wide angle but I had the resolution set differently on the std.
My mistake.
