This have been discussed in the now closed thread Camera terribly slow in FP3
I have too been silently grumbling for a couple years now.
I wonder how many of us there are?
We need to keep a thread up on this until resolved, and probably create bug report(s) (I could not find one)
When do this problem strike? Apparently not only on FP3, as I thought before.
I am using a FP3 with upgraded camera module to FP3+ type. /e/OS 1.1 now.
Anyway, yesterday I started trying settings and other Camera apps:
-
Default “Camera”: Altered some settings, as suggested in that thread, in default app: it got better but not good.
-
Even slower: HedgeCam 2 (Pity, because I like it especially for great manual focus, ISO, shutter)
-
Also slow: Front Camera, QuickSnap
-
Not working at all, not finding any cam device: A couple I uninstalled and have forgot names now…
-
Really quick
: Simple Camera (named “Kamera” after install, means “Camera” in my language, Swedish) It takes photo in a fraction of a second, while all other need more than one second. HUGE difference. Pity that it lacks manual controls i need.
So why is not all as quick as Simple Camera? Because it saves in another folder?
To investigate more later.
