Screen capture tool to increase shutter speed
 
I have spb screen shot and it doesn't seem to work with the camera. i just get a black pic. Also, since I can't map it to a hard button, for some reason, it wouldn't really be a good option anyway. I searched around here and elsewhere and have not seen this topic discussed. I know the resolution would be limited to the 640x480 but it would be nice to have a "what you see is what you get" option for lower light.

I am trying to figure out a way to get a pic of what is on the screen immediately so I do not have to wait for the camera to auto focus. The TP takes to long to focus sometimes and the shot is gone. I have used burst/sport modes but it still sucks. Why can't I just somehow save what is on the screen???? It seems like a logical use of screen capture to me. And, yes i use screen capture for its intended purpose too.

oh i know a program called shake and save which saves your screen image and it does work will in camera mode to but you gotta "shake" it and that would make the screen fuzy on camera rite.. so idk sorry

This is all that I know you can do to help the camera speed on our Touch Pros.

Use Advanced Configuration Tool to set the capture time to "0" original is I think 1500. Then go to your camera settings and set the delay to "No Limit". Then turn the brightness down 1. Soft Reset and the camera is better, it wont be a kodak or anything but it's better than what came in the box.

So, I guess no one has any idea how to do this? I think it would be a pretty cool app to have. Doesnt see to hard to put together.

you could call somebody before taking the pic... it doesn't autofocus when on a call at least (and i have no clue why).

WOAH!!!! I just now tried this and you are right bro, it doesnt auto-focus. This is exactly what I want it to do. Why does it not auto-focus when on a call?? Damn, I wish I had some programming know-how. Anyone know why this is?

Is it possible that the capacitive functions are disabled while in call?

Interesting. I never would have thought of that but, yeah maybe. what else uses capacitive funtions on the phone? Pretty easy to check that theory with another app while on a call...

its pretty funny...I just call my vm before I launch the camera. Its all "are you still there?" while I'm taking pics. I would think TP users would love to have a little proggie to toggle auto-focus on and off.
