Default [Q] About the HDR Camera

I'd like to buy the HDR Camera+ app but I'm wondering something... Does the app make use of the Nexus' fast shutter? A friend told me there are fast and slow modes in the app from which the fast one doesn't work on all phones. Does it work on the Nexus? I don't think HDR on this particular phone would be worth it over stock app if it's as slow as other phones...

Would appreciate it if someone using it could tell me Thanks.

Well HDR essentially takes multiple pictures and then stitches them together. So I'm gonna say its not gonna be as fast. Besides, do you want good pictures or quick pictures?

Dude, HDR are not for taking moving objects, it's more for landscape or things that don't move.

Basically, HDR takes 3 photos and fuse them together, kind of. HDR takes a underexposed, normally exposed and over-exposed shot.

Try the free version of HDR first and see for yourself.

I purchased HDR+ Camera app. It used to work great. Now, either a recent update or Jelly Bean cause it to force close. It cannot take pictures. Wait, or look elsewhere for a similar app as there are several in the Play Store.

Well, it works on JB. I'm using CM10 and it works... :] Maybe you should try clearing cache or fixing permissions!

Yes I know what HDR is and how it works. I was simply asking if it's relatively faster on the Nexus than other phones that don't have shutters as fast.

Let me google that for you -The best way to help someone and also tell them they are lazy at the same time.

Trolls are like stray cats, if you stop feeding them, eventually they move on.
