Camera FV-5 on Hydro?

[KenithO]

Of the Android camera apps checked Camera FV-5 looked most interesting to me so downloaded the free ver to test.

Tried the bracket function and everything worked OK but when checked on my PC instead of having exposures of -2, 0 & +2 got all exposed at 0.

Has anyone else tried this app? If yes what were your results?

fv-5 is a great camera app and yes i had the same issue... no auto-focus is the problem on the hydro and if I recalled its set on ISO 800 and cant be changed.. Even trying about a dozen apps to control the cam, the poor hydro is stuck at medium ranges distance photos.. the only good thing for the hydro is it takes very good pictures under water!!! use the burst shots mode on fv-5 app and dive into the pool with the hydro in both your hands!!! the stock video recorder was better for underwater videos... note: a few hours playing with the hydro in and outside the pool required my hydro a few days to dry off.. it stilled work bur it steamed up inside the of the screen. great cheap phone overall!!

sirslayerjr,

Thanks for the tips!

Are you using Camera fv-5 with any of your other phones?

Also have you found any other Camera apps that work better with the Hydro?

Just came across this by Katone so thought would share: "this camera apk not only greatly upgraded the camera on the hydro but also added the ability to push the volume button to snap a pic. Googleeditioncamera"
