Quick camera question
 

Ok I'm a dope here but is there a way on the camera you can take pictures without it focusing forever??? Like can when I click to take the pic is there a way to make it instant without it first focusing forever???

i don't believe so. well i haven't seen any apps for it to do this. most apps just open up different camera features ie: sports mode and landscaping etc.

but i don't think its that long of a time i mean it has messed up my timing on a few pics before

I was going to say turn on touch focus to pre-focus, but it seems even after you manually pre-focus when you press the shutter release it re-focuses on the same spot. That's pretty eff'n gay.

Also, does anyone know how to map a physical key to the shutter release? I have the keyboard controller installed already and have mapped the back mute button long press to start the camera application.

I'm searching the forum for this right now too. I want to make it easier to take a picture without having to press the on-screen button (you know, to make the volume up or down button the shutter for those times I'm pointing the camera at myself holding my kid or something).

I use a reg edit that lets me get rid of the delay when taking picture to zero here (works on 6.1 & updated Sprint 6.5):

So what is it??

The only way you could have zero lag is to turn off the auto-focus & as far as I know that isn't possible.

search for this on that page - pics looks same as factory settings to me:


Code:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam\
Set "CaptureTimer" to 0

Never mind, the link wasn't working but it is now.

I tried all those tweaks months ago & they made no difference whatever as far as lag goes in my system.

Basically, the TP2 just has a really awful camera (even for a camera phone)

Re: Quick camera question
 

IMO, I just use it in an emergency or if I am lazy.
Otherwise, the tweak does what it supposed to - push the onscreen button, pics get captured almost immediately.

try the stock sprint 6.5 rom. it snaps like 5x faster than any other rom i've tried.
