Lumia 1020 missing pro cam app

I've had this phone for for about 4 weeks now and have used the Nokia pro cam app every day. A few days ago I tried using it by pushing the camera button but the tutorial for the smart cam came up instead (I've already gone through the tutorial). I looked on the home screen and there was a blank spot where my pro cam app was, and it's not in the app menu. I tried looking for it in the app store but can't find it. My husband also has this phone and his pro cam app is still in tact. Any advice on what I should do?
If this is already in the forums I apologize, I did a search and nothing came up.
Solved!

I have just had the same thing happen to me. At least the app "icon" is gone missing from the os...left a hole on the home screen and not in the alphabetical list under Nokia "Nokia Pro Cam"....
The camea app works as you said but the icon and text are gone.

Nokia Pro Camera App Problems

I am on EE and finally got the Pro Cam App last night when I got the Amber Update for my Lumia 920. I have two problems with it:
1) Everytime I take a picture, the image I've taken is displayed on the screen and doesn't go away, I have to return to the camera. This is quite a annoying if I'm taking a series of images.
2) This is a real deal breaker - everytime I take a picture it looks great then seconds later a yellowish hue is applied and the whole image is softened. It takes great vibrant pictures and then ruins them with some awful image processing after the picture has been taken! Is this happening to everyone else?

As 808PV no longer manufactured and Symbian in "maintenance mode" it ain't going to happen.

Pro camera update on Lumia 1020

Hi all
Just downloaded the pro camera update for the Lumia 1020 and am impressed, Macro seems considerably better, if you switch to macro mode they seem to fixed the issue where it popped out of focus, it also seems a lot faster to shoot as well.
One slight gripe I have is that I can't find any release notes for the new app, I want a list of what's been fixed and what's been added but I can't find anything apart from the little demo when you start it up. But I want detail lots and lots of lovely techy detail.
Also saw the tweet about RAW support coming after Christmas...awesomeness continues...

Hi all,
When I did the update for my Lumia 1020 from Pro Cam to "Nokia Camera" I lost the ability to zoom & reframe images.
Did they change the way they save reframed images or are other people experiencing the same issue?
Thanks,

Lumia 1020 pro cam just keeps taking photos when y...

On my att 1020 if you try to take a picture in the pro cam app using the camera button on the side of the phone it will keep taking photos untill you back out of the application. Works fine if you use the onscreen button to take the shot. The camera button works fine in windows(opens the pro cam app). It also works fine in the built in windows camera app. This problem happens using either camera in the pro cam app. The steps I've taken so far in order(phone was up to date on the auto updates at the beginnning:
Power cycled the phone(held power and told it to shut down)
Reset the camera in the pro cam app
Uninstalled the pro cam app and downloaded it from the app store
Did a factory reset of the phone and tried again.
Ran the updates and tried again.
I called AT&T's support to see if they had any ideas and they didn't. The twitter support for nokia was a wash as well. Has anyone on here seen this before and have any ideas?

Not sure if this is the cause but ...Open Nokia Pro Cam and tap Options (...) .. Confirm that 'Bracketing' is not enabled..
(I enabled it and then did Reset the Camera settings.. still it was ON .. It got disabled only when I selected to Cancel it ..)

Pro Camera requires password entry on lock screen

Of course, as soon as it was available on my Lumia 925, I set the Nokia Pro Camera as the default app to launch when the camera button is pressed. I noticed though, that when the phone is locked, the Pro Camera app won't launch unless I enter the lock screen password. The default camera app did not require this, instead allowing you to take new pictures. Having to enter the password can be a spontaneity killer when the right shot presents itself.
Is this a 'feature' of Pro Camera, or is there some setting where I can change this behavior? If it is indeed a 'feature', please consider allowing access to the app without having to enter the lock screen password, just like the default camera app does.
Thank you,
LumiaJohn

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no way to change this behaviour as of now. This is very frustrating and limits the startup time of ProCamera app, which can lead to some precious moments from getting missed!
I think this is a limitation of Windows Phone OS.

Lumia 1020 - Disable Post Processing?

Preface: I've only had the Lumia 1020 for 48 hours.
Problem: I've noticed that when taking pictures with the Nokia Pro Camera application, the preview after capturing the image is awesome. If I then go to look at the captured image, there is a short pause, and suddenly the picture goes soft, detail is lost, colors become horribly skewed. It would seem that there is some massive post processing being done after the image is archived.
Request: Is there any way to disable this post processing? It's taking wonderful pictures and destroying them.
I'll see if I can take a screen capture to show what I'm talking about and I'll post again after work.
Lumia 1020 Quirks.
- Post processing done even on "raw" 34MP images.
- The entire screen is powered when using Peek. Despite being OLED and Nokia specifically stating otherwise.
- Can turn on (but not off) camera in the background on a call. App doesn't open but shutter does and spins up CPU.

So after looking at the 5MP version (attached) it seems that it is indeed post processing it after the fact and saving it that way. Which begs the question.... Why? Isn't the photo review going through the Nokia Pro Camera app anyway? Why is it doing post processing (I've also had it remove red-eye automatically when reviewing photos)?
Stil, I want to know; how can I disable it?
*Edit: Trying to attach the large format photo as well...
*Edit2: After uploading both and flipping back and forth between the "review" image, the 5MP saved image, and the highres saved image, they are all the same, meaning that it is doing the post processing as it is saving the 5MP & 34MP image. This means there is no way to truly undo it. (It also means things like auto-redeye reduction are permanent, and can't be undone, tweaked, etc.)
So.... thoughts?

Lumia 1020 reframe image not working with Lumia Bl...

The reframe function in the Nokia Camera app on my Lumia 1020 overwrites the original full-res image when saving after a reframe.
I have Lumia Black and Nokia Camera app v4.5.1.5
There was an earlier post that Dec versions of the Nokia Camera app would solve the problem or that turning off Skydrive auto-upload would solve the problem but those didn't work on my 1020.
Nokia Support always tell you to reset the phone but since that is not guaranteed to solve the problem, what are options can Nokia Support offer?

Just checked this and it works fine for me. I can reframe and save, close the app then browse the gallery, open the image from there and zoom out again to the full image and save.

Since last update, Pro Cam broken

Hi there,
a few days ago there was an update for the Nokia Pro Cam on my Lumia 920. Since this update I've had some issue with the App.
When I tap the App-Icon, the app starts and the App loads up. When I now take a picutre (every option is on auto) I beeing dropped back to the homescreen. When I tap the Icon again, again the App loads up and when I tap the pictures-bubble to see the pictures I've taken I also get back to the Homescreen.
When I use the Nokia Smart Cam App, everthing works great.
I'm using Windows Phone 8 GDR3 (developer preview) on my Lumia 920. My Provider is O2-Germany.

Pro Cam app is now Nokia Camera, does it still show as Pro Cam on your phone? If you have not installed Nokia Camera yet, then you can update/install through this link -> Nokia Camera

The new Nokia Pro Cam is not user friendly AT ALL ...

After the Amber update on my Lumia 920, I downloaded the new Nokia Pro Cam app, due to most people claiming that it produces very good quality photos. I agree that the photos clicked using Pro Cam are of better quality than those clicked with the built in camera app. But this Pro CAM is not at all user friendly.
First thing is the most frustrating. The built in camera app allows taking photos by just touching anywhere on the screen, but the Pro Cam required you to touch one specific spot on the screen for this purpose. This is highly inconvenient, especially when taking self photos using the main camera. I know that the photo can be clicked even using the camera launch button, but this serves no purpose because pressing that button actually shakes the phone a bit and makes the photo blurry.
The next thing is, the settings of Pro Cam are denoted by symbols and not text. Camera professionals may feel comfortable with these images, but for the common man, its really difficult to understand what these symbols actually mean. I don't understand how Nokia came up with the idea of complicating matters by replacing the text with symbols for settings.
Finally, there are no settings at all for the front camera, which is also a disappointment becasue we're forced to use the deafult settings.
Hence, in spite of better image quality with this Pro Cam, I'd rather stick with the built-in camera app because the Pro Cam is too cumbersome and tedious to use. So what do you people feel about this Nokia Pro Cam?

Hi,
Maybe the following explanations can help.
1. There is a plus point to this also. Suppose you need to only focus on a subject and not shoot straight away. You can do that by touch the screen where you want to focus, without actually taking the shot. Shot can then be taken by pressing the dedicated on-screen shutter button.
I actually prefer it this way. You just can do that in the WP8 camera app.
2. Here again, all the symbols used are standard photography symbols you will find on any dedicated camera. Even they don't have full names, only symbols. This should not be a major problem, you will learn very quickly what all these symbols mean.
3. People usually use front camera for video chat (or to check if your hair is ok or not!). The requirement for video chat is that you don't need a very high end image/video quality. Moreover, the front facing camera quality is not that good too, so there is no point is providing all that functionality used for rear camera.
You can try using Nokia Glam Me lens, to add some post processing to selfies.

Ayushmaan

Where did my camera app go?

So, yesterday I updated to ios5 on my iPhone 4. Everything seemed to go well updating, but I am now missing the camera app. And there is no quick camera thingy that was supposed to be on the lock screen. And any app that involves camera or the light, it crashes. There is also no FaceTime app, not sure if there should be.
Ps. Don't know if this has anything to do with it but I can't set up iMessage either. It says it can't connect to apple servers or something but I can still download apps.

Rampage1, I have a similar problem. Sometimes when I bring my iPod touch (G4) I open the camera app to take pictures/videos of my friends and in stead of anything I get a black screen. I've played with the problem to learn more about it. So far you can take pictures that you cannot aim because the screen is black (take pictures with the lower volume button). It has sound affects but I can't switch my camera mode. I'm sick of this because I miss fun moments to capture and I can't find a way to fix it. For background info I charge my iPod at night and keep it on sleep mode most of the time at schoolso the batt is usually ok. If anyone has had a similar problem or can help please reply to me thanks.

Nokia Lumia 1020 - Pro Cam switching to Panorama

Nokia Pro Cam used to have a circle with 2 arrows at the bottom right of the screen to switch to Panorama or Smart Cam. And there was the camera button and video button on the right middle of the screen. Now, there are 3 buttons on the right middle - the camera, video, and smart cam. And no way to find Panorama. Any idea what happened and how I can get the button to switch between modes back.

hi mate, the arrow is no longer there but you can tap on the three dots and then tap on Lenses to get to the Panorama app.

Lumia 1020 auto focus in video when used in apps.....

Hi. If I want to take a video clip up close using the Nokia Lumia 1020 on WhatsApp or Skype, the auto focus just will not fire. It stays zoomed out, and is only useful for taking clips really far away. This is incredibly frustrating given that I bought this phone for the camera.
Is this a bug in the phone? or is my phone broken?
Auto focus only works when using the actual camera app. Skype and WhatsApp seem to ignore the "auto focus" setting that I've turned on in the default camera app and the Nokia Camera app...
Really disappointed.
Jez

not sure as i haven't used those apps myslef, but for example, if you use Vine, there is a setting in there that allows you to lock the focus. it appears to me that auto-focus isn't automatically enabled / enabled at all in certain apps. you will need to contact the developers of the apps themselves for further feedback, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services.

My Nokia Lumia 1020 camera not working anymore

I bought this my Nokia Lumia 1020 with so much excitement, and it arrived on Saturday...got to it on Sunday night and dived in to the camera...amazing! I said...

The app wouldn't open, tot it was d app with the problem...den turned on my flashlight app, but also greeted the d strange sound...also the light won't come on... I am really disappointed and getting forstrated by Nokia...
what can I do?

Hello, victovic2000.
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions.
Sorry for the inconvenience it is causing you. By the way, how was the phone now? Is it still doing the same thing? Is it happening to the default camera only or same with the other camera app? Did something happen to your phone prior to the issue? Is your phone's software up-to-date?
You may check if there's an available software update for your phone by going to Settings > Phone updates. Note that a stable internet connection is needed. We encourage you to use Wi-Fi instead. You may also consider doing a 'full reset' by going to Settings > About > Reset your phone. Make sure to backup your files to avoid data loss. Here's how: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/basics/back-up-my-stuff.
Let us know the outcome.
