Camera with zoom on x10 mini - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi !
As you know, it's impossible (I think well ^^) to zoom with the original camera of x10 mini.
But sometimes when I take a photo, I really want to zoom.
So I would like to have a possibility to zoom.
Maybe I could install a camera application from another phone with wich we can zoom (is that possible to do this without root and without uninstall the original camera ?)
Or maybe I could install a camera application from the market ?
So I hope you will help me
I hope also that's possible without root
Thanks
Bye
ps 1 : I hope this thread doesn't exist and also my post is in the good forum.
ps 2 : Please forgive me for my poor and uncorrect English, it's not my first language and I'm still learning English at school.
I have also to say that I don't use Google translate (fortunately ^^)

Yep, everything is possible without the root, but not with the original app I think.

I dont think its possible.
At first the minis dont have optical zoom which is like a lens.
So if you could even find an app that has digital zoom it would be worthless.
Digital zoom only enlarge the pixels which creates very bad pictures.
So you could better take a normal picture and zoom in at the pc using a professional photo editing program.

fantastic

Thanks for your comments
For the optical zoom, I don't think I would buy because I haven't ebay account and I'm not interested by e-commerce...
Maybe in a couple of years/months when I would be 18
But, I'm think this kind of zoom is a very good idea and I will test my camera with telescope of other thing ^^

True... i use it, this is the one...

Can someone please post that app.
I cannot find that app in the android market.

Best Camera with zoom
Please use below.
There is a small problem of FC sometimes. But is the best camera app available with a slider zoom. I got it long back from a site

without a real hardware-zoom it makes no sense to zoom.....
u can do a software zoom later with ans app on your pc.. just resize your pic to 10000x10000 or so

Vignette has the digital zoom!

why bother all you are doing is pixilating without proper hardware zoom

fxcamera and camera 360. i personally prefer fxcamera.
is vignette still a great choise or not? I want a camera app that has some stabilisation functionaly (to try take sharper photos in the dark for example, when it takes a longer time), but I want to make sure it's a good choise before I pay for the app.
Or are there any other recommendations meanwhile?

I'd have to say Camera 360 is nice.
camera 360 wouldn't open on my wildfire (also not compatible through market). Vignette seemed to make worse photos than the standard CM7 app and takes like 20 seconds after each photo until it is finished :s Even on 5MP en superfine quality. So I guess I better keep using the standard app (even though it looks like ****), at least that can film too
i can't find any of these on the market!
i just tried to look for fxcamera and camera 360 but it was a complete fail.
Hey guys, take a look at this camera app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=552445&d=1301144618
well guys finally i made "camera 360" usable with wildfire...its still in its beta stages....little bit of bugs are there....like Geo tagging is not working...and few of its advanced featured had been disabled by me due to the lack of a powerful arm7 processor n gpu ...but auto focus..manual focus and full quality 5.1 mp super fine images have been enabled....its actually better than the stock htc camera...its bit laggy while processing the images...but that wont effect....you can click while its processing the image in background...100% uncompressed image has been enabled...you can take the best quality pics that can is possible by the camera...njoy...
please uninstall mimu camera before installing this...its uses the same lib n frame files...may cause force shutdown if used together
do give feedback....i wanna know the bugs that you are facing....

[Q] Is there any camera app with digital zoom ?

Hey,
as the topic says, i want to know if there is any camera app with zoom. Because the standard semcCamera doesn't support zoom.
I think having no zoom is a bit out of time. My older nokia 6120c had it too so i miss it a bit.
Of course i know that the quality isnt that great when zooming but currently i edit it on the pc.
If anyone has the same problem or a solition -> let me know
thx for reply

yes on market you have Vignette
If you edit in the PC why do you need zoom then? You got in the market, as said, Vignette and Camera Zoom too, both paid apps.
i tried vignette, but it just makes a frame. Not a real zoom on the display, but its okey. Ill try the second one you mentioned.
I edit it on the pc because of having no zoom

[Q] HD camera application ?

Hi all !
First, please excuse me for my english, i'm french.
I've just installed Oxygen ROM on my HTC Desire and it works very well but the camera application take 4/3 pictures & videos.
I'm looking for a camera application that take 16/9 pics. The HTC one worked well, is it possible to download apk or is there a great another one ?
Thanks for your answers !
Use Camera Zoom FX. Best Camera app according to me :good:
You can also take 50 pics in one GO!
I heard Vignette has some nice effects...Give it a try.
snap camera best for me , option HDR make nice photo

what you know about miui camera

hii guys ..
i keep wonder ,, we will have zoom on miui camera ??
i like miui rom .. the only bug that it dont have zoom and i need it
so any body know if they are working on it ?? at we gonna have zoom or they give up on that bug ?!
My opinion, you don't need zoom.
You need an app that can crop a picture because that's exactly what digital zoom does.
So shoot your pics and then edit them (I use Picsay and it's awesome) to isolate the details.

All digital zoom does is makes bigger blobs of colour.
Ugh... Sad realization that the X10 zoom is digital.
This is still a convenience being able to zoom(crop) an image and without editing send it directly to facebook/twitter/wordpress/[ fill in the blank ].

Have you ever seen a phone's camera lens pop out?
...
Exactly!
All phones have digital zoom only.
Also, unless you are in a great hurry, it takes less than a minute to crop a picture and then share it in any social network so no biggie.
Try PicSay, I find it entertaining to give a "final touch" to my photos before posting them.

New photo Pro app available

Guys, just seconds ago, I found, that there's the (from what I guess) new photo pro app from xperia 1 III is available here apkmirror.com
I tried to install and it worked!
Not able to take a screenshot as it's forbidden by system (not really necessary, sony). It has the new basic mode, that was shown on press release.
What are the differences with the mark II version? Difference in image quality or options?
From my guess, what sony is going to archive in future models, is to combine the normal and the pro-app, so there would be no need to develop and maintain two different apps - that saves money for them.
The linked app is already combined, some settings are slightly different insinde the pro-modes. You can switch to effects from basic-mode. I'm going to try to abandon the normal app and see, if the new one misses anything.
Thanks for posting that. I've tried it and it's great except that I normally open photo Pro in manual mode but this new app defaults to the basic camera app so you then have to change it to the camera pro app yourself. A small thing but just one more step that we didn't have previously when the two were separate apps. I see no setting to change how it opens by default so if anyone else does...
On a positive note, I may be imagining a slight thing but I think quality has maybe improved fractionally. To be specific, everyone has raved about this phone taking RAW files that you can develop yourself ( even though I think most flagship phones do now ) but I have always found that indoor shots with this phone in RAW always require a tripod which means you are just as well getting your real camera out. The ISO has to be low otherwise there is so much noise that even tools in lightroom struggle to fix it. But I think I see less noise now in handheld shutter speeds in low light.
But thanks to OP for spotting this app & bringing it to our attention.
BTW, how does anyone know this is the app from Xperia 1 iii when it's not released yet? Is there information on Sony website?
Many thanks.

I always open the Pro app with a push on the camera button. The new Pro app can be configured to open in Pro mode when pressing the camera button, so it works great for me.
Thanks very much. Ye, I saw you can choose the default in new settings too. I'm enjoying the new app.
Good find. Works well on the Xperia 5II as well.

The is a setting for "Open in last mode used". Since I always use the Pro Mode that works for me.
After installing the APK, can't choose the photo pro as option with camera key.
What I need to do to choose the photo pro as default?
Had to remap power button gesture to use the photo pro app. Camera button does not have photo pro option after installing this APK

That's what I've done too, with button mapper app. Howerver, it does not work when screen is off for my non rooted device. Don't forget to set photopro bypass in button mapper when photopro is active.
Tap tap app is also an interesting option.
For now I removed the update and reverted to the original Pro app.

So the old PRO app was not able to be used wiht the front camera, right?
Is there a way how to downgrade to original Photo Pro w/o root? I fear the answer is no.
It seems this upgrade broke eye AF at least on 70mm camera. All pictures of my wife and daughter focused on eye are out of focus. . Also manual object tracking seems not to work at all.

Yes, it's easy. Go to settings, apps. Find the Photo Pro app in the list, click on it. From the menu, choose "remove updates". That's it.

I really hope that Sony will provide the new photo pro app on our device with the Android 12 update...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/can-someone-dump-the-stock-camera-apk-pretty-please.4300387/ someone posted this IV used it on the 5ii works like if you hit camera button it opens the none pro version also has a wheel like basic mode this is from Xperia 1iii
If you want to open the new (Xperia 1/5 III) PhotoPro app with the camera button, even from locked screen, you can check my simple method here (since it's the same for Xperia 5II): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updated-camera-pro-app.4283199/post-85866439

Unfortunately, on our device Xperia 1II, this new photopro app tends to take photos out of focus...
