How do i use the camera to get the best pics in daylight. How do i set auto focus and image stabilization on the phone.
I also discovered that when i change camera settings 'anti shake' and 'wide dynamic range' to on, it goes back to off after i exit the camera and return. Is there a way to save the camera settings?

I have the exact same problem. Everytime i turn on the anti-shake and wide-range, it turns off the next time i open the camera application. It's a bit annoying so is anyone else having this problem, and for those who aren't what do you think we can do to fix the problem? Thanks!

First of make sure that your phone is set to "autofocus". Then make sure that the anti-shake is on (you have to turn this on everytime you start your camera). But other than that i don't have a problem with the quality of the pictures during the day.

Other setting that might help is changing the quality of the pictures to "High" under the image settings, but i think this is already the default for the camera.

those are the only things that i can think of to improve your pictures, but then again i am no pro on using the camera yet since i've only had the phone for a little more than a week. Just play around a lot with the setting and experiment.

Whenever I open the camera app my phone freezes indefinitely. I am worried that having to continually remove the battery just to restart the phone is not conducive to its good health. I tried a factory reset, but I was wondering if I should try a "full" reset. I'm not sure what the code is for this. I've read of an "E2P" full reset and custom reset, but it seems these only pertain to unlocking the phone? Which doesn't make sense, considering it is already unlocked...

Does anyone have any tips? It freezes so much =\

SAVE YOUR DATA prior to trying this !!! - You'll have a virgin phone afterwards.

@ Klosterbruder, thank you so much. After resetting my phone, the camera works again without freezing. =)

Don't forget to pay attention to whats going on too - The optical wheel lets you use the options on the right of the screen, while you can see the shortcuts with the star key or the drop down on settings.

Wide dynamic range -

Oh and for the levels, what they mean:

Center Weighted : Whatever is in the crosshair, will be balenced as neutral.
Matrix: You know the levels diagram in photoshop? think that, it makes sure it clips the least. A good beginner mode.
The other one (forgot its name) focuses on 9 points, outside the centre to try and get the best one. Usually does it wrong imho.



Get close when taking photos - if you need light, your range is under a meter - don't go past that for a person photo. It takes fantastic top half shots for this reason by the way. Also again with the flash (err, led) is because its fairly bright, objects too close come out as white and blurred - plan for that by turning it off manually, or getting some distance.
