[Q] Fix for manual focus in camera app? (not video)

---

I noticed that when I tap to focus it focuses for 2-3 seconds and after that it goes back to unfocused.

I have the latest update and this is somewhat irritating cause I have to take the picture within 2 seconds!

Is there a fix for that?

same here, happens on v10f

Same herd. I have abaut 2-3 sec to take pic.

Aha, so its not just me. I saw there is a camera mod but I did not see anything about this problem in the fixes/update log.

Does a third-party camera app (like lgCamera) fix the problem?

lgCamera isnt that good.

I tried ProCapture and it works perfectly. I am also familiar with the menu of Procapture because its almost identical to the stock app for the HTC Desire.

Only problem is that ProCapture doesnt support HDR, but I guess if I want HDR I'll use the stock app and eventually if they fix the autofocus issue with a patch I'll get back to it.

Cool. Does ProCapture have a time stamp feature?

Nope, it doesnt have time stamp.

Try moving the camera a few inches back
try angle the phone for better lighting
try a higher iso

I discovered a few tricks. Keep your finger on the screen to focus and stay green crosshairs. When you take photo hold the trigger for one second or more. If you do, the picture is taked without blurring!
